BIG nine THINKS
OVER BOWL GAMES
Several Western Teams
Want To Play In Post
Season Encounters

CHICAGO, Oct. 8. -(P>- The
Western Conference Tuesday was
polling its nine members on a pro-
posal to compete in the Rose Bowl
classic for. the first time in rs
years.
Commissioner Kenneth L. (Tug)
Wilson disclosed the vote already
was underway ito end once and
for ALL discussions on big nine
participation in the post season fea-
ture against the Pacific Coast Con-
ference Champion on New Years
day.
It was learned unofficially that
Illinois already has rejected the
proposal which calls for a five
year contract, but only three sue
cessive appearances by a big nine
representative, leaving the door
open to major Independents to COM
pete in 1850 and 1851.
In the still young season, two
big nine entries have scored decis-
i've victories over Pacific Coast
contenders - Wisconsin betting
California, 28-7, and Ohio State
last Saturday blanking Southern
California, 21-0.
Whether the poll. results of which
may be announced at a special
conference meeting soon, will meet
unsuccessful fate ok similar past
proposals was conjectural.
Led principally by Ohio State
which made the last conference
Pasadena visit in 1921 and took a
21-0 trimming from California, a
big nine bloc has made several eff
forts to get back into the Rose
Bowl. Most recent was in 1914 when
Ohio States conference champions
were denied the trip by the con-
ference fathers.

WASHINGTON, July 27-This is another chapter in the weird story of Congressman Andy May chapter pertaining to another member of the May family, nephew William H. May. Willie May began the with assets largely consisting of pair of slick pants and loud mouth and finished the war reputed millionaire.
 He served exactly nine days in the Army was released from active duty at instance of General Tire and Rubber, and then proceeded to get West Point appointment through his Congressman uncle for the of General Tire and Rubber Company executive. All of this, of course, simply to win the in hurry.
 While other young were giving up their lives at Guadalcana the Normandy beaches Willie May escaped the draft, built up lush business, bought of the show-place fartns near Frankfort Ky, and has so extended his business that he is building houses for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn
 It certainly pays to have an uncle who is chair man Of powerful committee in Congress especially the Military Affairs Committee when a war is on
 Finally the company for which Willie May worked, General Tire and Rubber, got an Edward, despite very unfavorabe report by Army engineers that it deceivng Army inspectors in the testing Of rubber pontoon floats.
 Here the full play play account of the fam tastic pathetic life of Willie May
 Shortly before the war, Willie's Uncle Andy got him job with the Federal Land Bank in Louisville: but as war broke Willie had graduated to the job Of Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture at a sal ary of A000 This the most Willie ever made be- fore.
 Game the war, however and suddenly Willie's income rose to astronomical propo1 tions How much his uncle the Military Affairs Committee had to do with this is not known, but contracts seemed to drop in his lap Willie only 34 with no previ- ous industrial experience, yet he made bomb parts in the rear of garage at Frankfort set up factory at Shelbyville started lumber operation near More head And with his brother -in-aW he organized the Nathan Christopher Company at Miami where various of the May in-laWs manufactured small boats
 Wules most interesting operation, however, was at Huntington, w. Va. About this time the draft caught up with Willie. He was inducted May l. 1944 by local Draft Board A. Floyd County Prestonburg, Ky, the home of his uncle. According to Army rec ords he was released May 10 take job with the General Tire and Rubber Company.
 At Huntington, General Tire was assembling mobile shopS-machine shops mounted trucks for the repair of Army equipment in the field In charge of this work Robert Saalfied of Akron Ohio a wartime General Tire executive
 And after young May excused from his 9-day tour of duty in the Army Saalfields was appoint to West Point by Mays Congressional uncle.
