Deputy Sheriff Haynes, would
drive him down the highway on

out at an intersection near Minden

mobile full of white men, includ-

waiting. They forced him into the

there beat him until he agreed to
say that ex-Corporal John Jones

threatened to shoot him unless he
ncrimlnated Jones.
Harris was picked up again in
two days and placed In n cell

titled that he heard Maddry, Sr.,

Political Battle Looms
|fFour-Way Deadlock
Develops on Coast
BY The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Sit prob
ably won't happen, but the Pacific
Coast Conference Rose Bowl race
could wind up ina four-way tie.
If such thing occurred the bit
terest political dog fight in confer
ence history would get under way
along about sundown on November
%, when conference competition
ends.
Here's how the deadlock could re-
suit:
If California wins over U. c. L. A.
here tomorrow, U. c. L. A. bounces
back and whips Southern Califor-
mia November % and California,
u. c. L. A., U. S. c. and Oregon
otherwise suffer, no further revers-
ais, the windup would leave each
team with one defeat and five VIC
tories in conference play.
Orr for that matter, If Oregon
State should knock over either Ore
gon or U. c. L. A., the Beavers
would be a factor.
( Southern Cal, favored at this
stage, has to get past Washington
at Seattle tomorrow. Stanford the
next week and U. c. l.. A. after that.
Officially, non-conference games,
won or lost, are not supposed to
figure in balloting. Whether they
will in the event of a tie remains
to be seen.

BOSTON, Oct. 31.-Georgetown' S
move in shifting the Boston College
game to Washington next year
might not be too smart, as the Dis
trict is apt to treat the game with
indifference while up here it's one
of the collegiate attractions of the
New England season.
1t often has been said that the
Hoyas have a better name out of
town than at home and they most
certainly draw better. A crowd Of
between $4,000 and 10000 is expected
tomorrow when the Hoyas and
Eagles meet at Braves Field at 2
o'clock in the 14th game of series
that dates from 1919.
Boston College rules a two-touch-
down favorite, but you'd better not
mention that to Coach Denny Myers
= of the unce-beaten Eagles. With
apologies to George Washington,
which generally is considered to be
Georgetowns keenest rival, the
Hoyas would swap victory here for
the rest of the season.
Hoya Coach Jack Hagerty of the
"broad A Hagertys of Dorchester
and Watertown, Boston suburbs,
brought five Bostonians on the 35-
man Georgetown squad and two,
Lou Surman at left half and John
Berger at left tackle. have been pro-
NOTED to the starting lineup.

Underdog Hoyos Hope Speedy
Backs Will Surprise Eagles

Hagerty comedies that Boston
College is the logical favorite, but
is banking on the potentialities of
his explosive backs to score an up
set. Tommy Graham, Elmer Raba,
Johnny Hughes. Babe Baronowski
and others have taken starring
turns, but they've yet to click to-
gether. Hughes, a standout against
NYU last week for the first time,
may be the back to break through
from the spread formation. The
Hoyas' downfield blocking must i'm
prove if the backs are to get away.
Something is going to give when
the Boston College running attack
meets the Georgetown line. The
Eagles have run up tremendous
yardage in beating Clemson, Kansas
State and Villanova, while in a
14-13 loss to L. S. U. they depended
mostly upon aerials. The % points
scored against Georgetown in five
games all we're on passes. The
Eagle line is bigger and deeper,
put man for man Georgetown's first
string is all equal.
The Eagles may regain their star
signal caller, Ed Clasby, for the
game, but if not, will depend upon
Steve Stuka. Their top ground
gamer is a 25-year-old sophomore,
Joe Diminick, who weighs at least
160 pounds. but has gained almost
400 yards from scrimmage in four
games.

Irish Rated Il Points
Better Than Navy in
Battle Tomorrow
By the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 31-Navy's
badly-battered footballers will fire
their biggest guns tomorrow at the
Nations biggest target, top-ranked
Notre Dame, but practically no one
believes the much-mauled Middies
will be able to shoot any holes In the
invincible Irish.
However, attracted by the glamor
of the match and the ever-present
chance that there's an upset in the
making, crowd OF about $4,000
will hang over the edges of Cleve-
lands municipal lakefront stadium
as the two teams battle.
Notre Dame has rolled over four
foes in fairly easy fashion, while
the Middies have victory, tie and
three defeats to show for the sea-
sons efforts. That's why the betting
boys have installed the Irish as 81
point favorites.
Coach Tom Hamilton of Navy said
he would have his crew working out
on the stadium's cleat-torn turf this
afternoon, following anall-night trip
from Annapolis, but Frank Leahy's
Irish aren't due until tonight and
will see the gridiron for the first
time just before the opening whistle

.Cosn1ic Bomb
Fuvorite's Truiner
Can't Forget Others
In PimIico Special
By the Asscciofed Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-Four
horses were lined up today for the
11th running of the Pimlico Special
and while most of the eyes were on
the Calumet Farm entry of Armed
and Fervent, the trainer of that pair
warned. don't forget Cosmic
Bomb"
People are trying to hand Armed
the race on platter, "'said Jimmy
Jones, handler of the calumet
string, "but what about Cosmic
Bomb? He's tough, in his very top
form, and will be hard to beat"
William Booth, the Bombs train
er, admitted his charge was fit and
ready to add another notch in his
claim for top ranking among the
1947 3-year-olds. But Booth said he
wasn't sure any 3-year-old would be
able to take care of Armed.
In addition to the Calumet entry
and William G.. Helis' Cosmic Bomb,
Walter M. Jeffords' Loyal Legion
will try for the winner -take-all
$25 900 which lies at the end OF this
mile and three-sixteenths classic.
Oscar White. Loyal Legion's train
er, had nothing to say-he's content
to let his bay gelding provide the
answers.
Armed and Fervent probably will
go postward (4:04 pm) at odds Of
around / to 8, with probable odds
on Cosmic Bomb to and Loyal
Legion 6 to'1.
Armed will carry 126 pounds, in
cluding Jockey Doug Dodson, under
the weight-for:age conditions, the
others 100 Eddie Arcaro will be on
Loyal Legion. Albert Snider on
Fervent and OWE Scurlock will ride

Rain stopped about II am. and
the sun came peeping out. Although
a chilly wind was blowing, the track
was slow tor early morning workouts
and officials did not look for much
improvement by post time.
