ST. John S and Gonzaqa
Clash for 18Th Time
In Hot Grid Rivalry

Gaping schedule of important
high and prep school football games
this week end will be Sundays clash
at Griffith Stadium between Con-
zaga and st. Johns, Washington's
two big Catholic school rivals. When
they tangle at o'clock it will DO
for the 18th consecutive time.
Gonzaga has won II games in this
series, which began in 1929. Two
ended in ties and the other four
went to st. Johns. The Eagles, with
a 12-game winning streak to pro-
tect, will be favorites, but the john
mics, especially under Coach Gene
Augusterfer, have been known to
spill the dope In the past and could
do SO again.
Augusterfer, back at the Johnny
helm after three years in the Navy,
first helped st. Johns to victory over
the Eagles when he quarterbacked
its 1880 eleven to a $50 triumph.
He later returned as coach after
playing at Catholic University and
with the professional Pittsburgh
Steelers and Washington Presidents,
and under his guidance st. Johns
has won three, dropped four and
tied one against Gonzaga. He'll try
to even the record Sunday.
Gonzaga hasn't lost game since
Coolidge turned the trick more than
a year ago. Its winning string in
cludes a revenge triumph over Cool
idge plus such other satisfactory
wins as st. Johns and Boys. Town

Big Nine Did Not Demand Next
Bowl Tilt, Sports Head Says

to start the series January l, thereby
excluding Army.
Army would have been a fine
bowl representative" he declared,
'"but we long have had machinery
started for the series and had the
Pacific Coast delayed 1t, we would
have had to come back. and try to
start this all over again next year,
perhaps with less success"
There was considerable pressure,
he continued, Ito have Army play
the Pacific Coast team in the 1947
Rose Bowl, with the Big Nine with
drawing its part in the agreement
until January l, 1948. This move
ment was originated by group of
Los Angeles sports writer's. We, of
the Big Nine, had no authority to
hold back from an immediate OPEN
ing of the pact, and the Pacific
Coast Conference finally voted to
meet our team on the coming New
Year Day."
The agreement between the con-
ferences does not shut the door on
future appearances by Southern
teams in the Pasadena classic, VIII
son said. In the final two years of
the inter conference series, both
conferences may select as the East
ern representative any team which
adheres to the athletic principles of
both.
This, Wilson added, could be a
Southern team, ''if it is travelling
under our rules"
. The commissioner said he is for
warding letters to each conference
school for an expression of opinion
on which team will represent the
Big Nine. 1t was possible, but not
probable, he said, that the league
faculty representatives might vote
for team other than the eventual
champion. Illinois originally voted
against bowl play.
December Is tentatively was set
for the opening of bowl practice by
the Big Nine team and December 18
for the Pacific Coast nominee, with
the Big Nine having a 16-day prac-
tice session and the coast club 49,
day drill. The Coast teams close
the regular season later than the
Big Nine.
The Pacific Coast will provide the
referee and head linesman and the
Big Nine the umpire and field judge
for the bowl contest, Wilson said
A scouting agreement also has been
approved.
Wilson estimated that the West
ern Conference team, under the
bowl receipts disbursement plan,
would receive between $4,000 and
$4,000 Of the usual 100000 which
goes to a bowl participant. The re-
mainder would be divided among
other conference teams and the Big
Nine.

Hagerty said after the drill. at know

thinking of parties they're going to
and the good times they'll have in
New York instead of waiting until
after the game. If we don't get
squared away before the kickoff we
may get licked"
1t wasn't all bad news from the
Hilltop, however. Elmer Raba

been out since early in the season

Georgetown can count it good yeal
on the gridiron, with victories over

plainly outclassed, and that was by

MAN KILLED
 IN MEADOWS

Lester Mason, age 38, of 16 Kennedy Street, was found dead on a dirt road in the North Meadows Saturday a little af- ter four o'clock. There was a bullet wound in the chest and cuts about the left wrist of the victim.
 It is alleged that the fatal shot was fired by Eddie Dick erson who the police immediate ly apprehended and lodged in jail.
 The fatal shooting is supposed to have developed out of a dis agreement in a dice game that the men had journeyed to the meadows to conduct.
 Two other participants in the game were arrested and re- leased after questioning. They were Oliver Langston, 34, of 16 Kennedy St. and Willie Knight on, 32, address unknown.
 County detective Joseph F. Mitchell was in charge of in- vestigations and did his usual rapid job of clearing things up.
 The victim was born in Stew art County, Ga, and had lived in Hartford for nine years. He was a veteran of World War II and leaves a wife and two children.

Over 25OO Scouts, Cubs and parents crowded into Bushnell Memorial Sunday to see and hear Levi Jackson, current Yale football star. Jackson s initial speech was momentous by it's briefness but later as he re- viewed the moving picture of the Yale-Princeton game he came into his own.
 A skit called "The Auction was exceedingly impressive. It was the case of youngster who was drifting about in his ideal ism with pleasure, vice and war bidding for his attention. The better clements of life enter and make their bid with Scouting eventually winning the day. This was followed by a most impressive induction service.
 An additional treat for the as- semblage was Cedric Foster, radio commentator, who broad casts over 400 stations daily from the Mutual. During the war he was correspondent in the Pacific Theatre for both the Army and the Navy.

JACKSON POINTS AT CLASSROOM SCORES

New Haven-On We'd, Dec. 4th Levi Jackson received the Bulger Lowe football trophy at the Gridiron Banquet at the Lenox Hotel in Boston. It is the anual award given to the outstanding college foot bal | star in New England. Jackson was the first freshman ever to receive the award as we'll as the first Negro.
 Previous awards have gone to Stan Koslowski, Holy Cross j; Charlie O'Rourke, Boston Col lege; Endicott Peabody, Har- yard; Gene Goodreault, Boston College; George Connor, liar yard; Paul Walker, Yale; and Mike Holivak, Boston College.
 Earlier in the season, George Trevor, New York football wri- ter, rated Jackson as the great est ball carrier since the days of Red" Grange of Illinois. He likewise said that Glenn Davis of the Army was a more explosive and exciting figure but that Jackson was tops in his opinion.
 But in the midst of all this public acclaim the one thing that stands out is the continued modesty and composure of young Levi Jackson. And though he is one of the bright est college prospects in this sec tion as far as basketball and track are concerned, at the con- clusioE of the football season he said, 'I'd like to play all year round, but I have got bit of studying to do. I would like very much to make that deans list"
