Football, unlike baseball, is a

Baseball is not game for the merely wealthy
any longer, it belongs to the multimilionaires In
an increasing number of instances it is not so
much business as hobby. 1t is doubtful If all
of the milionaires who have bought clubs in
recent years know how much money was involved
in making those concessions last year to the
players. Griffith knows to the penny.
Whereas $4,000 here and $1,000 there is tip
money to the rich owners, it is important with

Odds Soar To II
On Brown Bomber

NEW YORK, Nov. 29-(UP)-
Although Joe Louis was favored
at II over Jersey Joe Walcott
today, advance sales indicated
a sell-out gate of $2T0,000 for
their world heavyweight title
fight at Madison Square Garden
next Friday night.
The lop-sided betting price
seemingly will not prevent Louis
greatest ring attraction since
Jack Dempsey-from bettering
the Garden record of $201, ,485 in
his Oath defense of the crown he
won from Jim Braddock in 1887.
Champion and challenger are
elderly Negroes, pugistically
speaking; for each is 80. However,
this fact obviously has not lessen
ed the desire of fans to see the
great Louis in action once more
against the best contender that
could be culled from a compara-
lively mediocre crop of heavy
weights.
Should Walcott upset Louis, he
would be the second oldest heavy
weight to win the title. Bob Fitz-
simmons wrested the diadem from
Jim Corbett when Fitz was 35.
In case of an upset. Walcott-
father of six children-truly
would deserve the designation
Brown Cinderella Man, which
already has been given him by
some writer's because of his Brad
dock-like resurrection from the
pugilistic scrapheap and relief
list poverty.
Only one neutral expert thus
far has forecast a Walsott Tri-
umph. Dumb Dan" Morgan,
former manager of welterweight
champion Jack Britto1 and other
prominent scrappers, picked Wal
colt to win because of his speed
and elusive unorthodox style.
Morgan said Jersey Joe would
evade the champions jabs and
beat him at long range, hitting
him repeatedly with punches
hard enough to stun and bewilder
Louis.
Except for this one-man min
ority, boxing men believe that
the challenger from Camden, N.
J., may give Louis an interest
ing fight for seven or eight
rounds, unless he freezes" with
tension when he enteres the ring
and gets knocked out in the first
round.

Walker Stars In SMU
Deadlock With Frogs

FORT WC0 Tex, Nov. %.
Southern Methodist storm
ed back with only 20 seconds to
play today to tie Texas Christ
ian, 1919 in one of the thrillers
of Southwest Conference his
tory.
A crowd of more than 10000
that overflowed TC Stadium
watched the great Doak Walker
keep Southern Methodist in the
ranks of the undefeated. It was
Walker who scored two touch
downs and kicked an extra point
to give the Methodists a 1912
lead at the end of the third peri
cd and it was Walker who's
great kickoff return O SIS yards
put Southern ethodist posi-
ton to score that dramatic
touchdown that kept the Must
angs unhoaten in 10 games.
The tie gave Southern Metho-
dist the undisputed Southw t
Conference championship by
one-half of a game.
The Frogs jumped to point
lead midway of the first period
on a 5O-yard drive with Lindy
Berry's pass to Morris Bailey
for 33 yards the main punch in
the surge.
The Horned Frogs increased
their lead to IL points early in
the second quarter after Orein
Browning intercepted a pass on
his 36-yard line and seated to
the Methodist eight. Pete Stout
climbed over right guard for a
touchdown
Southern Methodist got back
into the game late in the period
on a 62-yard dash around right
end by Walker. The Methodist
star was back to pass, could find
no receivers open so he cut to
the right and, picking up block
ers as he ran, seated down the
sidelines to score. Then Walker
kicked the extra point. Southern
Methods: took the lead on the
last nlav of the third period and
again it was Wall" who eot TIE
! job done. It was a 5l-vard drive
with Walkers passing gaining
all the Territory.
The third Texas Christian
touchdown was a real thriller.
TCU was back on it's 21-yard line
apparently como nowhere when
Berry lofteda might pass to
Baily, who took it from a couple
of Methodists and ran to the
SMU 20. Here he was tackled,
but as he fell he threw the ball
backward. Randy Jackson pick
ed it up and raced to the Me-
thodist seven before Bobby Fol-
som downed him. Stout took a
lateral and whirled around ';9nt
end for the touchdown with a
minute and IS seconds to 60.
The crowd figured - was
up for the Methodists then but
the great Walker still had a lot
of fight left. He gathered IN the
kickoff and raced from his nine
to the Frog SO. Gil johnson tried
two passes over the goal line

Tech Defeats
Bulldogs 20

| ATLANTA, Nov. 29--Geor-
gla Techs Orange Bowl team,
shackled and shaken by an in
spired Georgia Bulldog for al.
most three periods, turned one
golden opportunity into a touch
down today and made it last for
a Z to 0 victory before $4,000
fans.
Jimmy Castleberry, lanky
substitute Tech end, latched on
to an errant aerial by Georgia S
Johnny Rauch and took it to the
Georgia 13 yard line as the
game neared the three quarter
mark. Two plays later freshman
Red Patton tossed to George
Brodnax for score. Rabbit
Jordan kicked the extra point
and the game relaxed into the
brutal line battle it had been up
to that break.
Only once, in the last five
minutes of play, did Georgia
pierce beyond the Engineers 40
yard line. In desperate bid for
tie, Rauch, who completed 10
out of q passes for the day,
took his team by the air route
down to Techs 35.
Flu lib ck Breezy Reid
slammed his way to the Is for a
first down but then Techs rug
ged defenders broke up three
Rauch passes and linebacker
Frank Ziegler knocked the Geor-
gia ace back 10 yards on his
fourth effort.
Ziegler, Tech fullback out
since the Duke game with an
ankle injury, was his teams
most valuable performer in his
backer-up capacity as he drilled
through the Georgia line a dozen
times to smear Rauch or the
runners, Reid and Bob Walston.
Patton, the frosh who looped
the winning touchdown pass,
was in for only two plays-both
of them the peculiar diagonal
pass which he used to beat Navv
and gave Tech victory over it's
most rabid rival todav. The first
effort, made in a Tech bid to
score from far out at the close
of the first half, was barely
broken up.
