Meet Is Set
In Philadelphia
Between Groups

Philadelphia, edo. 20-(AP)-
The first real effort to end the
war between the National League
and the All American Conference
was to be made today.
But the flat announcement
from the two leagues that their
representatives will meet here
to discuss peace terms brought
a fresh flood of conjecture about
how it can be accomplished.
The only definite information
given out was the statement by
Admiral Jonas Ingram, A. A. c.
commissioner, that Ban F. Lind
heimer Of Los Angeles, Dan Top
ping Of New York, Arthur B.
Mickey Mcbride Of Cleveland
James Breuil Of Buffalo and Tony
Morabito of San Francisco were
on their way here to confer on
a settlement. National League
Commissioner Bert Bell added a
one-sentence confirmation.
Both leagues ended their sea-
sons yesterday with the Phila-
delphia Eagles emerging as
champions Of the National League
and the Cleveland Browns win
ming the All-American Conferenc
title.
The Eagles downed the defend
ing champion Chicago Cardinals,
TO on 4 snow-covered gridiror
here.
Cleveland took its third conse-
cutive All-American Conference
title by walloping the eastern di-
vision champion Buffalo Bills, 49,
Z, at Cleveland.
There have been rumors the
teams might clash in a playoff
in New York Dec. rs, or possib
ly in Los Angeles. But whether
anything along playoff lines
would result from today's confer.
ence Of rival moguls also was
conjectural.
Teams of both leagues have
reported financial losses due to
rival bidding up of player sa-
laries and competition at the
gate.

ponents. It's the only team to
beat Texas so far, but most Of
the opposition has been minor

continues to draw equal billing
with Kentucky, is another stay
at-home. The Bills have only one

last week, most of the National
Leaguers insisted there had been
no negotiations. But it has be-
come increasingly evident that
what they called informal man
to-man talks" actually were
something more than that, with
Topping acting as an intermed-
iary to carry proposals and sug-
gestions between the two groups.
Topping, a former National
League club owner, switched to
the All Americn Conference.

who apparently feel they have
the upper hand-remained closed
