New York, Sept N.-(UP)-The annual shutdown strike against college football factories was work ing up to its seasonal frenzy again today with the usual whooping and hollering about proselyting.
 The holierthan-thous are thump- ing the tom-toms which are hand ed out free with poor squads and defeats. The eulprits are sitting tight with the cat-swallowed-the- canary expression. It happens every year.
 Only this time, the NCAA thinks 1t has hole card which may solve the situation. The national college governing body thus qualities for membership in the optimists club because everyone knows that football rules always are broken, or at least stretched to the strain ing point.
 To Call For Pledge
 Like the Dodgers, however, the NCAA is in there pitching. It will hold a meeting in New York on Jan. 6 at which the various con- ferences will be asked whether they are willing to be pure" and oper- ate on a high standard. A show of hands will provide endorserS, who will play among themselves. The rest will find plenty of teams to schedule.
 Meanwhile, no matter what the regulations, they have as poor a chance of survival as 8 mere man at a bargain sale. It is simply the outgrowth of winning spirit, " wherein the campus wolves howl and 8 coach departs hurriedly in the darkness of the night.
 For instance, there is & state university in very, very respect ed conference which must have as students only players from within the state. It is surprising how many Pennsylvania coal miners suddenly turn up as residents of

HoIf Game
 Leaders Must Shoke Slump
By STAN MOCKLER


 St. Louis, Sept. H-UP)-The St. Louis Cardinals, grimly aware that basehits and not past performances will win tonight's game with the Chicago Cubs, hoped to shake off their batting slump against John Schmitz or Hank Borowy, who will De opposed by Howie Pollet.
 A Cardinal loss would result in an exact tie between the Cards and Brooklyn Dodgers, and each will have two more games. The Dodg- CTS are idle today, and will be one full game behind if St. Louis beats the Cubs.
 The season record books show that the Cards should do it-but Card Manager Eddie Dyer said he wasn't expecting to win just because the percentages said so.
 Anything can happen in base ball-look at the Phillies' five runs in the ninth inning against the Dodgers the other day." he said. Well just hope we start hitting again, and Pollet should give us good pitching"
 St. Louis has won 13 and lost six to Chicago this year, and Pollet has won one and lost two against the Cubs. Borowy has won one and lost two against St. Louis, and Schmitz has a three-two record.
 Day Of
 Dyer gave the Cards the day oil yesterday as the schedule provided them with an open date. He had contemplated calling batting practice, then decided that such a practice might make the players even more nervous and increase their pressing" at the plate.
 Indicative of the deadly serious ness with which Dyer was taking the Cubs was his concentration on winning just two of the three-game series, assuring at least a tie even if the Dodgers win both games against Boston.
 If we do that we'll take the pen- nant." Dyer claimed, reasoning that the Cards then could beat the Dodgers in the best-of three play of.
 Harry Brecheen, who has beaten the Cubs five times this year and lost to them once, will start Satur- day nights game, and Dyer will use either Murry Dickson or George Munger Sunday.
 But the Cardinals worry was the hitting department-their strong point all season as they led the league in team batting. They have averaged only five hits per game for their last five games, and scored a total of three runs in their last three games.

Cesario, Pryor At Hartford

Hartford, Sept. T - Lightweight Johnny Cesario of Boston returns to happy hunting grounds here Tues day night to battle welterweight Bobby Pryor of Springfield in the tne-round main event ushering in the indoor season at the Auditor ium. The Bean Town scrapper boasts an unbeaten Hartford rec ord, winning all IS fights here, ten by knockouts.
 That string helped him amass 39 consecutive victories before he lost for the first time to Gus (PelD Nell in the Boston Garden.
 Pryor is the 18-year-old Home City slugger who scored a stunning 3-l upset by knocking out George (Red Doty here nearly three weeks ago. Bobby spilled Doty nine times before halting his slugging foe in the fifth round.

Brooks weren't exactly weak there with Schultz and Stevens alternat- ing at first and with the seasoned Cookie Lavagetto at third.
 Marty Marion may be MT. Shortstop to the public, but Pee Wee Reese is the best in the game well, then, the National League. I haven't seen Johnny Pesky. Reese will make all of Marions plays and is rousing right-hand hitter.
 With Reiser and Dixie Walker flanking Carl Furillo, the Dodgers, in my opinion, had more formi- dable outfield than the Cardinals, who begged down at bat in the gardens after you said Country Slaughter.
 And the Dodgers scooted on the bases. They were the kind of players who kept the other side up-

this other state. They are, just incidentally, high grade football players.
 The finger Is pointed often at the South. There is, currently, the case of Errnal Allen of Kentucky, whose team bested favored Missis- sippi last week. The Mississippi communique declares:
 "Allen played three full varsity seasons before the war. He was an- nounced eligible Saturday noon af- ter Commissioner Mike Conner previously ruled him ineligible.
 Mississippi Very Mad
 "Mississippi's big mistake was in not making use of Junie Hovious and Wobble Davidson, Al seniors on the coachicng staff; and in re- calling Merle Hapes, Al senior, and Ray Terrell, Al junior, from the pro ranks. We might also have thrown in Bullet Hall and Bruiser Kinard and Buster Pool (pro play ers) and drafted Barney Poole from Army for good measure"
 Mississippi, you see, Is very bit- ter.
 There's another southern player estimated to be getting $8,o00-a- year, with house thrown in. The coach, asked for @ statement, re- marked: T hope he plays football. Cute.
 But why should the pot call the kettle black? The Atlanta Journal, commenting on Perry Moss, former Tulsa star, playing for Illi- nois, remarked:
 We are fascinated by Moss scholarship record at Illinois dur ing his first semester, in which he passed four eight-hours of work and thus became eligible. Here 1t is: advanced football, l hour; camp ing and outdoors leadership, 3 hours; theory of coaching, 2 hours"
 They asked, in all fairness, how he did in Kelly pool and drawing to inside straights.
 Dollar Signs Counts
 And from all sections comes re- ports of fine salaries and living advantages acquired by athletes making 8 choice of educational-and gridiron-sites.
 Which recalls the remark of Charley Trippi, Georgia star, when asked while in service whether he would play pro football.
 "Yeh," Charley said.
 "Where?" he was questioned.
 At Georgia" came the answer.
 It may have been a gag-but Trippi is back at Georgia. And no matter what kind of a club the NCAA uses, it's going to take a lot of influence to change human na- ture, the Saturday afternoon dollar sign-and college football.

The Pennont
By STEVE LANG

(Ed. Note: This poem was written by a Crosby High School freshman after the Dodgers lost their game with the PhiIs on Wednesday, The Pride of Flatbush stepped to the plate, Amid a mighty roar. The tieing run was on the base, A smash would tie the score. Oh Dixie was a mighty man, Throughout the league he
 fought. He knew why fans were yelling. He knew what they besOught. The Buns were on the war
 path,
 A pennant was at stake. The Dodgers had just one out left,
 A curve refused to break. The umpire called the pitch a ball,
 And Dixie then did smile. Then Dexie swished the bat
 about,
 For such was Dixie's style. And finally Dixie took the
 Iunge,
 It was a might clout. The DOdger fans let out a cry, MT. Walker had flied out.

.0f Veterans Homes
Under Housing Bill

Reduction of the cost of veterans
homes "is inseperately linked" with
passage of the general housing bill,
which passed the Senate and now
is pending in the House, Wilson w.
Wyatt, administrator of the Ma
tional Housing Agency, said last
night.
The bill was sponsored by Senators
Wagner, Democrat, of New York;
Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana,
and Taft. Republican, of Ohio.
Mr.. Wyatt pointed out that IS
per cent of veterans need housing
under a $1,000 sales price or $50
rental, and said the bill would help
production of housing in this cate
CORY by reducing financing costs and
stimulating rental housing.
Real Estate Men Attacks Bill
At the same time, Herbert U. Nell
son, executive vice president of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, assailed the bill as "a major
step toward the birth of a new le-
viathan-the all-powerful state that
would swallow it all up"
He said "bureaucrats, socialists
and liberals" are out to create "the
new leviathan."
