DALLAS, Nov. 23.-The odds to-
day appeared to favor Southern
Methodist and North Carolina in
the Cotton Bowl.
There was nothing official and
the name of the visiting team being
sought was kept a closely guarded
secret, but unofficial sources said
Southern Methodist's football squad,
host team in the Dallas New Year
Day bowl game, voted North Caro-
lima as their preference. Now it's
up to the Cotton Bowl to get the
Tar Heels.
Dan D. Rogers, chairman of the
board of the Cotton Bowl Athletic
Association, said announcement of
the visiting team would be made
this afternoon.
The squad, which clinched the
host spot in the Cotton Bowl for
the second straight year by beating
Baylor. 1875, last Saturday, voted
in secret yesterday afternoon. Coach
Matty Bell would not reveal the
choice and neither would bowl
officials
Reports indicate that the Orange
Bowl is giving the Cotton Bowl
strong competition for North Car
olina, an unbeaten. once-tied team
that whipped Texas of the South
west Conference 34-7. The Cotton
Bowl offers $105, 900 to each team
more money than the Orange Bowl
affords.
The fans already were talking
about a meeting of two of the Ma
tons greatest backs-Doak Walker,
Southern Methodist's ALL America,
and Charley (Choo-Choo) Justice
of the Tar Heels.
1t was reported that next to North
Carolina, the S. M. U. players chose
Georgia, then Oklahoma, Tulane
and Clemson. The latter, an un-
beaten team. repeatedly is welcom-
ing bid to the Cotton Bowl. Glenn
son played here in 1910, beating
Boston College, 6-3.
North Carolina still has a game
left on the schedule the same as
Southern Methodist. The Tar Heels
meet Virginia Saturday, while South
ern Methodist closes its Southwest
Conference campaign the same day
against Texas Christian.

Michigan Still on Top
AS Grid Poll Brings
Few Radical Changes
BY the Associoted Press


Michigan rules the roost in college
football for the third straight week
by a comfortable margin in the
next to last Associated Press poll Of
the 1913 season.
With 105 of 100 first place votes,
the Wolverines polled 1.726 points
for a lead of 103 over the idle run
nerup, Notre Dame. Michigan
finished its season Saturday by
downing Ohio State, 1873, while
Notre Dame still has two more
games to play.
There were few radical changes
in the top 10 after formful week
end, the only startling drop being
Penn States tumble from 9Th to
18th place.
Army again held third place, al
though the Cadets were idle await
ing Saturdays finale with Navy, but
North Carolina moved into fourth
place, displacing California, by
200 decision over Duke. The
Michigan -Notre Dame-Army-Cali-
fornia lineup had held true for two
straight weeks.
Northwestern Rated Seventh.
The California Bears, named the
Western Rose Bowl team against
twice beaten Northwestern, were
ranked fifth. Their New Year Day
opponents who walloped Illinois,
2O-7, clung to seventh place, one step
below Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma teams smashing
GOT romp over Kansas boosted the
Sooners from eighth to sixth place.
Southern Methodist also advanced
two places. S. NJ U. was ranked
eianth after a 1876 victory over
Baylor. Then came Clemson. ninth,
as it was last week, and Oregon,
which finished its campaign with q
100 nod over Oregon State. Oregon
advanced from 18th to 10th, becom-
ing the only new member In the
top 10.
Vanderbilt. No. Is. and William
and Mary, No. 20, were the only
newcomers in the top 20 as Cornell
and Georgia Tech dropped out.
OF the first 20, six teams already
have finished their regular seasons.
They are Michigan, California,
Oregon Northwestern, Minnesota
and Ohio State.
Ranking Teams Still Playing.
Notre Dame gets back into action
against Washington. They also
have to play Southern California
December 4. Other games on the
future book involving high-ranking
teams are Army VS.. Navy, Oklahoma

Methodist vs. Texas Christian and
North Carolina VS.. Virginia, all

PhiIIy Adopts
FEPC Measure
NEGRO INDUSTRIAL PRESS

NEGRO INDUSTRIAL PRESS
PHILADELPHIA, Mar. ~ -
(NIPS)-By a unanimous vote Of
the 10 members of the City Council,
a Fair Employment Practices bill
was enacted into law during a reg
ular session Of that body held
yesterday. Philadelphia thus has
joined the ranks Of other large
metropolitan cities which have
adopted equable employment OPP
portunities for minority groups.
Considerable interest has been
displayed in the bill since tn In
PRODUCTION by Councilmen Woodie
Armstrong, lone Negro member
from the 4th District; George Max
man, also of the 4th District; Louis
r. Schwarz, 9th District; and Coun-
Gil head Frederick Garman.
Although the bill had been ap-
proved by a subcommittee after a
hectic preliminary hearing during
which the opponents and proponents
Of the bill had vigorously conducted
their positions, final adoption had
been delayed at the last regular
session Of the body.
The final debate was conducted
in an orderly fashion, and the more
than 800 gallery spectators who
were in attendance broke into spon-
taneous but subdued applause when
the tally was announced, since
unanimous approval had not been
anticipated.
As finally passed, the ordinance
bans discrimination against en-
ployment opportunities because of
race, color, religion, or national
origin. A five member, non-salaried
commission is to administer the
law, and investigate all complaints
Violators may be punished with
fines up to 800 or jail terms OF
80 days. The measure is applicable
to all employers who have 1 OF
more employees on their payroll
but does not include religious, ed,
ucational, or charitable organiza-
tons.
