Rebuff by Minors
by the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 5.-The Pacific
Coast League, rebuffed in its fight
to become third major baseball
circuit, may yet receive the blessing
of the National Association of minor
leagues as it resumes its all = out
effort for higher classification today
with modified resolution for big
league status.
Although minor league presidents
voted 80 to II in favor of the Coast
loops request yesterday, it failed to
pass since it did not get the neces-
sary three-fourths vote.
National Association President
George Trautman, who presided
over the executive session which
high lighted the three-day conven-
ton, put the clamps on the Coast
circuit when he ruled that the
resolution affected change in the
ma jor- minor agreement.
ANY change in the major-minor
agreement requires a three-fourths
majority for passage, Trautman
said.
"The resolution, therefore, was
declared lost. A simple resolution
not affecting major minor rule
needs only a majority vote"

It's All or Nothing
Leohy Predicts Irish Triumph
Oyer Southern Cal. Tomorrow

Notre Dame would like to meet
Michigan any time, any place.
Since that is impossible this
year, at least, then the game
with Southern California should
go long way in comparing the
Irish with the Wolverines. Mich
igan meets Southern Cal on New
Year Day.
With the exception of Terry
Brennan-and that is quite an
exception if you ask me and even
If you don't-my lads are in fine
shape physically and otherwise.
Johnny Lujack, deservedly, in
my opinion, has been awarded
the Heisman Trophy as 1947's
outstanding player. He is fine
lad, modest, willing and a great
team player. He should put on
quite a show for the fans to-
morrow. From end to end our
line is in top shape and ready
to go.
Last year we were lucky
enough to beat Southern Cali
fornia, 26-6. I am not hoping
for such a score this year. I'd
be delighted to settle for a
one-point margin. But it should
be quite a contest.

Trojans Merely Hopeful.
AS welcoming committees from U.
S. c., Notre Dame alumni and civic
groups joined hands to greet the
arriving Irish and special sections
of trains brought thousands OF visi-
tors here for the game, the Trojans
sat back quietly and waited-and
hoped.
They hoped, most of all, for one
of those peculiar breaks that time

illusions about this one; it will take
something unusual to break down
Johnny Lujack and his supporting
cast of backs, or stop Capt. George
Connor and his well-trained, hard

On paper, of course, U. S. c. is far

Annapolis Site Available

By the Associofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 5.-The
Anne Arundel County Board Of Edu-
cation was on record today in favor
of deciding property at the Annapolis
High School to the city for building
stadium to be used by a farm team
Of the Philadelphia Athletics.
The board specified that if the
stadium were not used for athletic
purposes for three years, the land
would revert to the school.
The board also asked that school
children be permitted to use the
stadium from September 10 to May
annually.
The American League baseball club
has agreed to sign a two-year lease
at $1,000 for the stadium, with an
option of renewal for three years.
An Athletics representative said
he would seek a favorable vote of the
Eastern Shore League directors on
the transfer of the Federalsburg

ably nervous. According to re-
ports, the so-called smart
boys" have made Notre Dame
13k-point favorite to win its
ninth straight of the year. This
would mean only the tie with
Army in 1946 would mar a per-
feet two-year record.
You can toss out the window
this reasoning by the alleged
smart boys" They base their
estimation on the intangibles of
past and relative scores. They
also have a way of disregarding
the element of human endeavor,
the spirit that rises to supreme
heights on occasion. This may
be such an occasion for jeff
Cravath and his Trojans tomor-
row.
Understand, I am not saying
they will win. In fact, and for
the first time this year, I am ad-
mitting to thinking the Fighting
Irish will win. Not that I
haven't thought so before cer-
tain other games, but this time
I want to go along with the lads
in making it an all-out affair.
It's all or nothing.
Again, being honest, I'd like to
go on record as saying we'd be
very happy with one-point
margin of victory. That VIC
tory We'll have, I honestly be-
lieve.
In the first place, the Trojans
are undefeated. They were tied,
TT, by Rice in the second game
of the year. Since then they
have met every challenge flung
their way. They fought their
way past an extremely able U. c.
L. A. to 60 into the Rose Bowl
against Michigan. They have
q pair of deadly accurate passers
in Murphy and Powers. Their
line anchored around Ferraro,
Cleary, Hendren and Clark is
powerful, aggressive and as
game a crew as you would want
to see.
In the second place, Cravath
has done a truly fine job in
taking almost the same material
on hand the last two years and
making it click in such a man
ner. He is an able coach any
way you look at him. He is espe-
cially capable of bringing his
boys up for a test Of vital i'm
portance.

Five members of Techs public
high school championship eleven
are on The Stars first All-High
team, three OF them holdovers from
last year. Two players each from
runner-up Central and third-place
Anacostia also were named along
with players from Eastern and
Roosevelt.
Selections were made after care
fully considering outstanding play
ers from all eight public high
schools, and all schools are repre-
sented on either the first or second
team.
Left End Jim McCauley, Center
Bob Bell and Left Halfback Bob
Bugs Thompson Of Tech are the
only players named for the second
straight year, while Hal Sponslor
Of Central was again runner up to
McCauley for the left end berth.
Central's Bob Douglas won one
tackle berth, while Roosevelt S

Ellis play was particularly out
standing for a team which was
blanked seven straight times and
won only one game. He played
every minute of every game. Stand
ing 6 feet ~ inches and weighing
210 pounds, he discouraged the
opposition from making any moves
through right tackle. ,

Historic Church
Plans Facilities
For NeW!yWeds

NASHUA, IOWA. - Special ac-
commodations are being planned for
honeymooning couples who are mar
ried in the Little Brown Church in
the Vale, the historical small
church which was made famous by
a song written before it was built.
Harry Richers Of Worthington,
Mimi, has purchased the former
Bradford academy property across
the street from the church. He plans
to erect honeymoon cabins on the
property. A Photographic studio to
accommodate the newlyweds and
facilities for wedding dinners and
receptions also are planned.
The church, built in 1864, long has
been popular for wedding cere-
monies. The peak was reached in
1910 when 1,549 couples were mar
ried.
The bride and bridegroom
usually ring the church bell
after the ceremony, the pastor
admonishing them to pull
through life together, just as you
are pulling IN the bell rope"
The small neat church in a pleas
ant rustic setting once served the
religious needs Of old Bradford, a
town of 600 persons two miles from
here. The town died after it was by
passed by a railroad in 1868, but
the song has kept the church alive.
Attracted by the beauty of the site
upon which the church later was
built, William S. Pitts, a young WIS.,
itor from Wisconsin wrote his
moving hymn, 1.-The Little Brown
Church in the Vale in 1857. He put
his manuscript away and it was
forgotten.
In 1864, when the church was COM
pleted, Pitts, who had returned to
the town as a singing teacher, was
asked to sing a solo at the dedica-
ton ceremony and he obliged with
his W song written seven years
before.
