BY the Assoeioisd Press

SEATTLE, Dec. 6.-Ralph Pest
Welch, whose University of Wash
ington football team won only three
games this season, has asked that
he be dropped from consideration
for reappointment at the expira-
ton of his present contract as head
football coach, the university an
nounced today through Harve
Cassill, director of athletics.
Welch's action does not affect his
staff of assistants, said Cassill, since
each has his own separate yearly
agreement
The athletic director said a sue
cessor for Welch had not been
named but that the new head coach
would be on the campus In time to
direct spring football practice.
Welch's 1947 team, generally
rated for the first division In pre-
season predictions, finished the
season with two victories and five
losses In Pacific Coast Conference
competition. In addition the team
lost to Minnesota by one point and
won from st. Mary's outside the
conference.

Sleeper Play Clicks
AS Tulane Gains Tie
With |. ). u, 6-6
BY the Assoelofed Press

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. e.-Cheered
by the biggest crowd ever to watch
regular season football game in
the South. Tulane's surprising
Greenies fought favored Louisiana
State U. eleven to 6-to-6 deadlock
here today.
The throng (oficially estimated at
1000 to top the 65,s4l mark set In
the Tulane -Notre Dame game of
1945) saw 60 minutes of ting
ling play.
Trailing to 0 at haf-time, Tu-
lane came back early in the third
period to tie the score. then beat off
Louisiana's frantic offensive efforts.
Aided by Sleeper Play.
The old sleeper play" set up the
Tulane touchdown. On the first
play after the second-period kickoff
Ed Heider hid out on the sidelines
Bennie Ellender hit him with pass
and Heider ran to the Is for a 54-
yard gain. An interception stopped
Tulane, but the Greenies made
L. S. U. punt, then stormed 81
yards.
Ellender completed four passes
during the parade, then Richard
Hoot barged the final six yards on a
fake pass. Heider's placement went
wide, and cost Tulane a victory
just as Walter Piggy" Barnes
missed placekick kept L. S. U. from
triumphing.
Y. A. Titles eighth touchdown
pass against Tulane In four Years
came on the last play of the first
half after his aeria!s had carried
the Tigers 80 yards to the l.
Fires Pass to Bullock.
The snapback came Just as the
clock licked off the final second
and most of the spectators didn't be-
liieve L. s. U. had time to run an
other play.
But Tittle-the quarterback in the
T-formation-snatched the ball
from the center just in time, and
fired to Ray Bullock in the end zone.
During the successful drive, Title
first hit Ray Coates on pass good
for Al yards, chunked once to Joe
Leach for Is, and then found Bull
lock with 13-yard effort to the one.

For the fourth time in six starts
Coach Staff Cassell of American
University was able to use his entire
squad of IA players as the Eagles
crushed Maryland State Teachers

in the A. U. gym.
The starting combination clicked
from the gun and ran up 2l-9

in the week. A second team took
over in the second quarter and
made it 36-17 at half time.

Kentucky Victorious
Over Vi|Ianova in
Great Lakes Tilt
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. e.-zBill Boiler
19-year-old sophomore from
Beaver Falls, Pa, spanked the Uni
versity of Kentucky Wildcats to q
24-to-14 triumph over a heavier
Villanova College eleven today in
the first annual Great Lakes Bow
game before 14,9O8.
The fleet 177-pound halfback tai
lied a pair of touchdoWns in a wild
fourth quarter In which each team
scored twice.
An aroused Villanova squad mar
rowed Kentucky's lead to 10 to 7
early in the final period, but Boiler
broke loose for brilliant touch
down run two minutes later, on a
49-yard return of a pass intercept
ton.
Kentucky Takes Early Lead.
Villanova countered with another
score in the closing minutes but
time and Boiler ran out on the
Fasteners.
Kentucky fashioned a 3-to-0 lead
in the opening period when George
Blanda booted a 27-yard field goal.
Then the Wildcats out-charged a
heavier Villanova line to protect
their 3-to-0 margin at halftime,
moving IA yards for touchdown.
In the third period with Boiler and
Jim Howe leading the attack, Howe
finally went over on a brilliant 29-
yard run through a broken field.
Villanova finally meshed gears
late in the third quarter and drove
for a touchdown from It's own 33.
Successful Campaign.
The Kentuckians completed one of
their most successful football cam
paigns in recent years, tacking their
bowl triumph onto a season record
of seven wins and three losses. To-
days victory gave Kentucky two
year record of Is victories and six
losses under Coach Paul (Bear)
Bryant-the greatest number of
games the Wildcats have won since
the seasons of 1909 and 1910.
Villanova had a regular season

With Late Sput
By MerreII WhittIesey

George Washington ran up q
double score 32-16 margin on Wake
Forest late in the first half last
night at Tech gym, but before they
knew 1t the Colonials were all tied
up at 38-all and had to squirt to
win, 59-53, in the Southern Confer
ence opener for both teams.
About two minutes before the hall
ended G. w. owned its biggest lead
of the game-16 points-but Paul
Bennett tossed in his four points OF
the night for Wake Forest to bring
the tally to 1920 at halftime.
The Colonials hit slump early
in the second half and the Deacons
were in the ball game. When g.

Colonials took a time out.

ing again. They ran their lead tc
54-43 at one time before the Dea-
sons spurted again, but 1t was toe
late.
It was the first home game for
Coach Art Zahn's team, which now
owns a modest winning streak of
three straight, and they showed
flashes of brilliance. Zahn has
about eight or nine players of vir-
tual equal ability, or at least they
were about equal last night.
The 20-year-old Moffatt, return
ing to the court where he won all
high fame several years ago, was
a pleasant surprise to Zahn with
a 15-point performance, high for
the night. Moffatt played part OF
one previous season for the Colo
mails which was remembered be-
cause he appeared in a G. w. uni
form the night after he graduated
from Tech.
Wake Forest was not impressive
despite its midgame squirt and the
Deacons will have to show more
than they did last night to crash
the upper half of the Conference
standings. They had won two pre-

Place-kicking specialist Fred
Farley started the Irish scoring
five minutes after the game began
with field goal from the l3 and
went on to convert after each
touchdown for perfect score.
The margin of the triumph was
the largest In the history of the
series, begun In 1926 during the DAYS
of Knute Rockne and Howard Jones.
The nearest to today's rout was
when Bucky O'Connor ran wild and
the Irish blanked Troy, 27-o, in 1880.
Irish Get First Break. i.
The day, after heavy rain yester-
day, turned out to be perfect and
the turf was heavy but not slippery
as the Green and the Cardinal
squared off.
Southern California took the
kickoff and Notre Dame got the
first break, Fullback Verl Lilly
white fumbled and the Irish came
up with the ball on the S. C. 80.
Then the fearsome foursome of the
Irish went to work-Lujack, Sitko,
John Panelli and Livingstone. They
drove over the fighting Troians to
the 7, and, with five to 60 for first
down, gave Farley his field goal op-
portunity.
Late in the first quarter, taking
over on their own II, the same four
some marched slowly but decisively
80 yards in Is plays. In the march
Livingstone went for 16, Luiack
passed to his backs for Is, for 12,
for 19 and with the ball on the l
just as the second quarter began,
Sltko rammed over the Trojan left
guard for the score. That gave the
Irish 1O-point lead.
The Trojans got the next break.
Second-string Quarterback Jim
Powers swiped one of Lujacks passes
on the Irish A. Sophomore Jimmy
and Gordon Gray combined to get
to the as the stands went wild.
On fourth down, four to go, Jack
Kirby, another second string back,
took fiat pass from Powers, stepped
high and hard over his right f1ankers
and crossed the goal line. The con-
version was good and the half ended
with Notre Dame nursing a 10-7
lead.
Sitko Races rs Yards.
The Irish took the kickoff back to
the "a as the second half opened and
on the first play from scrimmage
this dynamic man Sitko practically
broke up the ball game. He raced
rs yards, with his lineman, big
George Connor, executing the final
block on what appeared to be the
only Trojan left standing on the
field.
Before the third period another
marker was up. Lujack, returning
the favor, stopped one of Powers
passes in midfield and the Irish
charged SO yards in eight plays,
Panelli gouging the middle of the
line for the final yards.
The next scoring play was even
more disheartening to U. S. C. The
Troys had gone from their own At
to the Irish 9 before Leahy got
his big regulars back in the game
and halted the threat. On the first
play after taking over Livingstone
went off his left end, and down the
side stripes 90 yards-and Notre
Dame had a 31-7 lead. Not until
then did Leahy relieve his regulars
and start emptying the bench.
The final score came when AL

The promoters had not yet figured

it was believed Louis would receive

WaIcott's Seconds Criticized.
1t was agreed generally today that
Door advice from his seconds alone
prevented Walcott from dethroning
the man who had been king for more
than 10 years. The clever challenger
was ordered by his handlers to run
like thief in the last two rounds,
and he obeyed orders. He lost both
rounds by wide margins, because OF
Louis aggressiveness, and when the
showdown came this represented the
champions margin of victory.
Walcott's seconds obviously
thought he was so far in front at
that stage that he couldn't lose,
short of being knocked out. 1t was
a fatal mistake. Walcott still was

"Of course" reflected George

"Walcott might have gotten himself

rounds. Remember what happened
to Billy Conn in his first fight with
Joe? He got hit in the 18th round.
You can't say for sure that Jersey

Nicholson, who was in Louis cor

sary of the signing of this vet
erans' readjustment act which
became law with the signature
of the late President Roosevelt
on June %, 1914.
"There is no question but
that the CT Bill has been the
greatest boon in history in aid
ing the veterans of World War

Griffith said. ''It has provided
high speed rehabilitation
machinery through which op-
portunities and services were
assured for World War II vet
Grams that spared them the
CHASTITY experiences of neglect
which were the lot of Ameri-
can veterans after World
War I.
"The Bill also has proved a
boon for education. 1t has en-
abled untold thousands of vet
Grams to complete their school
ing thus making up for a four
year diversion of students
from institutions of higher
learning which occurred dur
ing wartime"
Commander Griffith point
ed out that the entire three
year cost of the CT Bill has
been a little more than the
cost of three days of waging
war.

New Capitol One of Proposals
To Relieve Present Congestion

Senator Bridges, Republican, of

Other solutions Senator Bridges

l. Erection of another Office
structure on land near the present
Senate Office Building.
2. Adding another story to the
present Senate Office Building, pro-
vided it would not run the building
too high above the skyline of the
Capitol Hill area.
3. Building another wing across
the interior courtyard of the present
Senate Office Building, which, it is
argued, might make courtyard offices
too dark.
