By Florence S. Berrymon

The United Nations Club of Wash
ington, in collaboration with the
Whyte Gallery, has inaugurated the
first of series of exhibitions: Re-
cent paintings by Alice Acheson,
which will be on view through May
TO- They are hung in the drawing
and dining rooms on the second
floor, and show to advantage in this
well-proportioned setting with its
attractive furnishings.
A majority of Mrs. Acheson's "a
paintings depict aspects of the
Washington and Georgetown scene;
her flower and garden paintings are
outstanding for charm, and single
works represent her in portraiture
and animal painting. She paints in
a modern idiom which she has made
her own, to the extent that many
habitual visitors in Wash
ington, once acquainted with her
work, probably recognize an Ache
son" Immediately, in the various
group exhibitions to which she reg
ularly sends paintings. Figures and
other forms in her pictures are
strongly simplified and inclosed in
dark lines, which practice gives a
calligraphic character to some of
them. Her work has mellowed con-
siderably in recent years.
Many Washingtonians will re-
member the unusual exhibition held
several years ago in the National
Museum. comprising paintings by
Mrs. Acheson, her mother and her
grandfather Stanley, noted painter
Of Indians and Western scenes. Mrs.
Acheson was born in Michigan, but
has been identified with Washington
for more than a decade. She studied
under Howard Smith of Boston, and
Richard Meryman, who was on the
faculty of the Corcoran School of
Art some years ago. Her husband
is acting Secretary of State.

I have not the. slightest intention,
in these surmises, of trying to in

deavoring to guess what the public

akin to solving" a murder mystery

it will be the result of large and

Argentine Priest Exhibits
At Pan American Union


Serenity is the keynote Of Father
Guillermo Buffers exhibition in the
Hall of the Americas at Pan Ameri-
can Union, his first one-man show
in the United States. It is on view
only through Wednesday.
Twenty four paintings, mostly
Landscapes, have a markedly ira
ditional effect at first glance, but
after closer study, they reveal per-
sonal conventions, primitive char
acteristics, a hint of Seurat and q
dash of posteresque fatness. Re-
currence of a few themes convinced
me that a small number of these
paintings would have stronger
appeal than the collection in its
entirety. In other words, one or a
few in ones home would be restful
and "livable," whereas the group
suffers from sameness.
The artists self-portrait in his
Dominican habit reveals a man at
peace with himself and the world,
and explains to no small extent, his
choice of subjects: tranquil noun
tains, towering above a single
church or chapel, and trees in
groves or on the banks of gentle
rivers. Father Butler favors leaf
less trees, the symmetrical branches
of which form pattern against
delicate green or gray backgrounds.
Born in 1880 in Cordoba, Argen-
tina, Guillermo Butler joined the
Order of the Dominican Fathers in
1900; was sent to Europe to study
Canonical Laws. While in Italy
he became interested in art, studied
under Father Berthier, and travelled
extensively to art museums in
Europe. On his return to Argen-
tina, he founded the "Beato An
gelico" School of Plastic Arts, which
he still directs, and which is now
incorporated with the National
Academy of Fine Arts.

Contest

CHARLOTTE, Dec. -tP)-
The South Carolina All-Stars rel
gned as slight favorites tonight
on the eve of the l4tl4 .nual
Shrine Bowl 70 tbal1 game.
A sellout crowd of about $4,000
is assured for the contest in Char
lotte's Memorial Stadium, starting
at 2 o'clock. South Carolina scored
a 1913 upset last year over the
North Carolinians.
The North Carolina outfit is
heavier-six pounds to the man
in the line-but also has been
hit hard by injuries. Eleven of the
30 players on the squad have suf-
fered some kind # injury dur
ing the week of practice which
closed today.
The final drills were very light
consisting mainly of chalk talks
as drizzling rain f. most of the
day.
College scouts who have watch
ed the two outfits practice have
selected Kirby RAIDER f Marion,

boro, S. c., as t. two best bets
on offense.

KENTUCKY BATTLES
VILLAN0VA TODAY

CLEVELAND, Dec. S - P -
Contrasting feelings of confidence
and gloom were expressed by the
rival coaches today as the squads
of Kentucky an II nova went
through final workouts for the
first annual Great Lakes Bowl
game in Cleveland Stadium here
tomorrow.
Coach Jordan Olivar of Villa
nova said his team "came out to
Cleveland to play ball game and
win it. That's wla, we intend
to do"
Paul (Bear) Bryant, the Ken
lucky pilot, wasn't so optimistic
as he mulled over his injury ry-rid-
died squad.
Bryant said halfback Jack Far
ris, who turned in an average OF
GA yards per carry during the
regular season, wouldn't be able
to play at all.
Officials of the Knights of Co.
lumbus, the sponsoring organlza-
ton, anticipated crowd of
around $4,000. Villanova has been
established as a one touchdown
favorite.

o1;s Awarded Unpopular Decision Over Joe Walcott
JAMERS0N NAMED
DAVIDSON COACH

DAVIDSON, Dec. 5. - up -
Charley Jamerson, who has
served two years as end coach,
was elevated today by David
son college to be it's head foot
ball coach. Salary and dura-
ton of the contract were not dis
closed.
Jamerson, who has had 16
years of scholastic and collegiate
coaching, succeeded Bill Story,
who resigned after two years
as Wildcat coach to return to
Norfolk, Va, to take up ad-
ministrative high school work.
No decision was reached by
the Board of Trustees on nam
ing an end coach.
Jamerson was graduated in
1922 from the University OF
Arkansas where he played foot
ball and baseball. He played
professional baseball between
1924 and 1929 and at one time
was with the Boston Red Sox.
In 1880 he returned to amateur
atheletics as coach at Memphis
(Tenn.) Tech High and in 1942
became head coach at Memphis
State Teachers college, where he
remained until 1914 when foot
ball was discontinued there. Next
he became an assistant to Carl
Snavely at the University OF
North Carolina. Two years ago
he came to Davidson when Story
became head coach.

RICKEY TO NAME
MANAGER TODAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-(up-At
long last. the way finally was
cleared tonight for the return OF
Leo Durocher as manager OF the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
After two months of indie
cision, the last Of the pressure
which kept president Branch
Hickey from choosing between
Durocher and Burt Shotton, who
piloted the Dodgers to the Ma
tional League pennant last sea-
son as Leo the Lip sat our a
years suspension, finally was
removed today.
AS a result, Hickey and Duro-
cher met "somewhere' - pre-
sumably in New York - tonight
at which agreement on 1948
terms was expected to be
reached.
Hickey said he definitely
would announce his 1948 man.
ager at II am. EST press
conference tomorrow.
The last obstacle for bringing
back Durocher to Ebbets Field
was lifted today when the Cath
olic Youth Organization re-
vealed that it would welcome
back the former Dodger pilot.
The CYO withdrew it's group
from the knothole gang shortly
before Durocher was suspended
last year by Commissioner A.
B. Chandler for conduct detri-
mental to baseball, but re-joined
after Durocher was banished
from the game.
Today, Father Vincent j.
Powell, head of the Brooklyn
chapter of the CYO, said that
his organization would remain
in the Dodger fold regardless of
who managed the team.
All along, hickey has been Ia
voring of taking Durocher back,
but there were two things he
wanted cleared up:
THAT the move would have
the blessing of Chandler. He
was assured of that when he
conferred with the commission
er this week.
2-That the CYO withdraw it's
objections to Durocher.
To pave the way further,
Hickey has been conferring with
Shotton the past "a hours, lining
him up with some other key
position in the vast Dodger or
ganization. He and Shotton also
met with the Dodger coaches Of
l947 - Clyde Sukeforth, Ray
Blades and Jake Pitler.

Irish Favored Over Trojans;
Shrine Bowl Tilt Set TODAY
Coach Leahy Means That
Wet Field, Injuries Will
Hurt
LOS ANGELES, Dec. S. - W.E

LOS ANGELES, Dec. S. - UD
- Notre Danes football team
arrived today in such shape
that coach Frank Leahy sadly
reported that "every thing
points to a Southern California
victory tomorrow in this battle
of gridiron giants.
But despite his pessimistic
prediction and the possibility of
a wet field, which Leahy said
would further handicap his
team, the mighty Irish still rated
a 13 IL point favorite.
Before taking his sqrad to
Pasadena for a light limbering
up drill after detraining in the
midst of a rain storm, the Notre
Dame mentor revealed that Jim
Martin, star end, anu halfback
Emil Sitko were under doctor s
treatment for influenza.
But he hoped, and believed,
they would be ready to play
tomorrow.
He said, however, that Terry
Brennan, the speedy halfback
who has a cast on his injured
knee definitely would not play.
The city of Los Angeles was
gripped by a football fever as
local partisans debated the re-
mote possibilities of an upset
victory. Southern California has
not defeated Notre Dame since
1889 and has but six victories
in the series against II for the
Irish and one tie.
For Notre Dame the game
ends the 1947 season but South
ern California still has Michigan
to meet in the Rose Bowl New
Years Day. Tomorrow's game
was expected to be a yardstick
for Michigan, which disputes
Notre Danes claims to being the
leading team in the land.

tinue 1948 fishing licensing re-
ouirements on the same basis
as this year.
The Commission, after a two
and one-haf hour public session,
moved into executive session,
and was meeting late tonight.
Present fishing regulations re-
quire that all anglers over is
years of age to purchase fishing
licenses except for ocean fish
ing, in coastal sounds Except
Currituck sound and Kitty Hawk
bay where licenses are re-
quiredD, on the Cape Fear River

and Trent rivers below the
bridges over U. S. II and 70 at
New Bern, on the Pamlico and
Tar Rivers below U. S. II bridge
at Washington, and N W
River below the U. S. II bridge
at Jacksonville.
Any angler may fish in the
waters of his home county, u.s.
ing only natural bait, with
out having to own a license.
Delegations from Sampson
county interrupted the executive
session to complain of and sup
port a system of clay days" for
hunting quail, squirrels, and
rabbits. Lay day supporters
said the county's quail popula-
ton had been reduced to a dan
ger point. Opponents said tn e
lay days offered no advantage.
About 80 commercial fisher
men from Currituck, represent
ed by W. I. Halstead of Cam

sions, and asked permission to
sell Yellow Perch or Red

by Victor Collins, President of
the Hollywood club, who said he
feared a long delay might en-
sue unless immediate action
was taken. Collins was the
spokesman for four-man Pei
delegation consisting of Charles
Graham, San Francisco; Bill
Starr, San Diego, Roscoe Tor
renee, Seattle, and himself.
"We want the resolution
adopted now, so we hope the
Major leagues will act upon it
at their meetings in New York, "
Collins said. eff we submit the
present vote which fell under
the three fourths majority nee
essary for adoption, the Majors
might not act upon it since they
might feel that they ought not
to consider it since we voted
against it,
An objection was raised by
president Frank Shaughnessy
Of the International League over
the wording of the resolution,
especially over a phrase read
ing "The Minors agreed in prin-
ciple to the PCL's resolution. "
Shaughnessy argued that the
National Association had gone
on record yesterday as voting
against the resolution and chair
man George Trautman ordered
the phrase stricken out.
The National Association also
agreed to point out to the Ma
jors that although the Pei plan
was voted down, 80 leagues
were in favor, only seven shy
of the necessary vote for pas
sage.
1t was expected that the Pei
delegation would re-dra aft their
previous resolution for the pur-
pose of eliminating reference to
the Major Minor agreement,
therefore necessitating only
a simple majority vote instead
of one of three-fourths, but Clar-
ence Rowland, president of the
IPCL, said he was satisfied with
yesterdays vote.
"The fact that 81 clubs gave
us backing pleases us greatly -
he said. ''We feel that when the
Majors realize that we have so
much support, they will grant us
what we ask. We are satisfied
with the results. We are con-
vinced that if the Majors give

BULLDOGS CAPTURE
PIEDMONT CONTEST

WINSTON SALEM, Dec. 5. - Fl
- A trio of well-hipped Fayette-
vile scatbacks swept the Bull
dogs to a 200 triumph over
Children's Homes out-m aimed
eleven before a near-capacity
crowd of 5000 at Bowman Gray
stadium here tonight in the third
annual Piedmont Bowl clash.
The Bulldogs, showing tre-
mendous power up front, shook
their versatile ball-carrying corp
loose on concerted touchdown
drives in the first and fourth
periods, but it was 78-yard run
back of an intercepted pass by
Johnny Guiton that broke the
heart of the fighting Methodists.
Guition, Billy (Nub) Smith
and Mac Yates did virtually all
the damage against the lighter
Winston-Salem outfit, sweeping
the flanks for long gains almost
at will.
The Bulldogs travelled 245
yards aground and AZ through
the air, counting their first
touchdown through the air as
Smith tossed to end Dave But
Ter.
"Nub''' finished the scoring
with a 5-yard toss to fullback
Hamilton in the fourth quarter.
Children's Home drove to the
Fayetteville 20 in the first period
in it's most dangerous threat
but was forced to play a de-
fensive battle almost all the way.
The hurting of Dayton Crews
provided the only Methodist
power as he completed eight
tosses for SO yards.
