took issue with State Auditor B. E.
Thrasher's December 20 report criti-
cizing the university and Georgia
Tech Athletic Associations for oper-
ating with a deficit for the past
fiscal year.
DR.. Caldwell said the Georgia as
sociation had never requested or re-
ceived money from the State and
defended its right to incorporate
and borrow money to finance the
schools intercollegiate athletic pro-
gram.
Butts accused the auditor of dis
torting expenses and said he OBJ
jected to the implication by
Thrasher that over $4,000 came TO
me personally during the last
year. He said his salary is $4,000
year.
The Bulldog skipper also said he
would offer his resignation any
time his employment became en-
barrassing to the university athletic
board.
The auditors report listed $500
to Butts as salary, $708 as bonus,

Young Bow|ers Win
Sensational Match

In one of the most sensational
bowling matches here in recent
years, a picked team of young
sters defeated an all-star quint
of seasoned performers last
night at the King Pin by II
pins, 1882 to 1920. The young
sters fired 730 in the second
game to wipe out a l00-stick
margin earned by the veterans
in the first and came from be-
hind in the final box of the last
skirmish with three spares for
their margin of victory. The
team scores were: Veterans
70s, 6o4, 6OS; Youngsters-608,
730 and 594.
In the youngsters 730 game,
third highest of the season here,
Bill Towles shot ITO, high for
the match, and Pete Places, 166.
Towles totaled 429 and Places,
4l4. Ray Watson paced the vet
Grams with 431, including a game
Of 1863.
Spectators who jammed the
King Pin contributed sloo to the
Mile O. Dimes for which the
match was rolled.

The game probably will attract
$4,000 to 10000 spectators. Partly
cloudy skies and temperatures in
the low COS are predicted, The
kickoff will be at 2:05 pm, Washs
ington time. (The game will be
carried by station WMAL)
The odds favoring the Cardinals,
twice triumphant over the Eagles
this season, settled at II points to-
night. This margin comes from the
fact that the Cardinals defeated
their opponents, 38 to 81, in a pre-
season. exhibition game, and then
walloped them, As to 81, during the
regular league play.
Tomorrow's battle marks the first
appearance of both teams in
the championship playoffs. The
Cardinals won their initial Western
Division title by upsetting their
rival Chicago Bears, while the
Eagles qualified by crushing Pitts
burgh last Sunday in the East's
divisional playoff.
Both the Cardinals and Eagles
physically are ready and on edge
mentally. The Fasteners are bit
deeper in reserves because of two
injuries suffered by the Cardinals.
Caleb Martin, tackle, still is hos
pitalized by injuries suffered in the
last game with the Eagles. End
Frank Ivy is sidelined because Of a
shoulder separation in the battle
with the Bears.
Thrilling, Battle Expected.
The game figures to be fast
moving thriller, in which anything
can happen-and probably will.
There can be no let-doWn. One
mistake can decide the champion
ship. The Cardinals probably will
bank chiefly on scoring via the air,
while the Eagles will rely upon
power on the ground.
The Cardinals, ranked as the top
explosive team in the professional
game, will have Paul Christman in
the passing role directing the ball
carrying of such capable backs as

After tax deductions, Is per cent OF

Of the remainder. 10 per cent goes
into the players pool. Five per cent
of this is given to the second-place
clubs in each division. The balance
is split 60-4o among the Cardinals
and Eagles, depending on which
wins
The other 80 per cent is used to
pay expenses, excluding park rental,
with so per cent of the remainder
going to the league and Is per cent
each to the two title participants
It's Bennigsen's guess that the
Cardinals, If triumphant, will get

split their share 40 ways.

that the usual siX-Week furlough

that the pair might play pro foot

Request Was Denied.
The request was denied. Blanch-

Davis second attempt to leave the
service became known, that he in
tended to make the Army his

public by Army Secretary Royal,
said the service normally accepts
peacetime designations of officers
without hesitation" but added that
"the operation of this rule is habit
ually suspended in time of national
emergency, until conditions permit

The Army's answer, which had
