CHICAGO, Nov. 21-"It's going
to be rough season. All the teams

we're in the toughest division-the
Western division" Coach Red Auer-

made that prediction before play
opened in the Basket Ball Associa-

third game in five starts last night

Last year the high-fying Caps
lost only one out of six games to
the Stays and two out of six to the
st. Louis Bombers, Washington S
opponents Saturday at St. Louis
and Wednesday in Washington. But
this year every team in the league
is strengthened in every position and
from all indications the Caps will
have to battle all the way to stay
in the race.
The Stays proved that last night
when they came from behind 65-

Big Six Rivals Unfair

Missouri, Oklahoma
BY the Associated Press

NORMAN, Okla, Nov. 21.-It is
not fair to accuse the universities OF
Oklahoma and Missouri of racial
discrimination in Big Six competi-
ton, Walter Kraft, chairman of Ok
lahoma's Athletic Council, said here
last night.
The States themselves enforce
segregation laws" he said 1T is
something that is out of the hands

Kraft's statement followed a rec

University of Nebraska that their
own school withdraw from the Big

elimination clause is not removed
from conference rules.
THE issue centers around the BAR

declared Student Council President
Harold Mozer.
Kraft denied the Nebraska inter-
probation.
This is unfair, as no racial dis
elimination rules exist in the Big

AN understanding exists between
sister schools of the conference in
which schools that allow Negroes to
play on their teams agree to re-

Cardinals Will Throw
Balanced 0ffense
AGAINST Redskins
By Lewis F. Atchison

The Redskins No. problem Sun
day will be chasing the Chicago
Cardinals out of a five-man line,
and the boys in the back room have
brewed a new batch of T to do it.
The Tribe hasn't been able to get
the opposition out Of five-man set
up for so long it's beginning to think
that is the only defensive forma-
ton used any more and Sammy
Baugh's passing has suffered as
consequence.
Coach Turk Edwards thinks Fred
Boensch's transfer to guard, where
he'll have the duty of rushing Paul
Cnristman on passes, will help his
defense, but the offense is some
thing else again. A better brand of
blocking would permit Eddie Saenz
and Bob NusSbaumer to run outside
end once in a while and would make
the Cards move into a six-man line,
but blocking is foreign word to
some Of the Skins this season.
The Cardinals have probably the
best balanced offense the Skins
have bumped into all season. They
have few individual leaders in league
statistics, but all their players are
up with the leaders. Charley Trippi,
Elmer Angsman and Pat Harder are
among the u most prolific ground

of them can break away and go for
points at any time.
ChriStman, second to Sid Luck
man in passing among the Western
Division throwers, has completed
almost half of 205 throws for l 1,4O9
yards: and II touchdowns. Wash
ington's secondary can't afford to
doze off with the stocky Missourian
cranking up and tossing. Redskin
scouts report that Christman pre-
fers to toss to Ends Bill Dewell and
Nal Kutner, but he's equally adept
at hitting backs
DeWell and Kutner are elusive
receivers who have caught three
touchdown tosses each and have
rolled up almost 1000 yards between
them. The Skins hardly can afford
to let them get loose If they expect
to keep the count close.
All the Redskins are in fair to
middling condition with the excep-
ton of Ernie Williamson, who
missed two days practice with a
twisted ankle. The big tackle, how
ever, should be ready Sunday.

In British Solution

I, Discussing arrangements for the

Asked by newsmen to give the
brighter side of the British picture
as he sees it, Mr.. McCloy said:
Well, in the first place, they are
sturdy people. They have good
business sense. Their internal
budget situation is good. And they
are aware of their problems and are
beginning to analyze them realis-

History indicates it is unwise to
write off the British people too
quickly"
Reporters asked Mr.. McClay if he
thought questions of World Bank
loan to Britain would come up at
the London sessions of the bank and
its Board of Governors. When he
said he did not know, questions
turned to possibilities of loans for
modern equipment of British fac
tories and mines.

World Bank was not set up to make
general" loans, those for equip
ment for reconstruction and rede-
velopment certainly would be, iur-
additionally, the type of loans we
could look at"
