gin, South Carolina had to stage

An overflow crown of 10000
saw the teams battle to their
second successive TT deadlock
The tie was the fourth in the
series which finds North Caro-
lima leading in victories, SO.
Quarterback Gene Pate of Win
nsboro's Mt. Zion team, plung-
ed over from a yard out and
Fullback Cecil Clardy of Liberty
booted the point to give the Sand
lappers the tie. They'd been
stopped on the three. the eigh
and the 20 by a stubborn first
half Tar Heel defense and a
soggy, mud-laden field which re.
suited from previous rains this
week.
North Carolina had held a &c
lead from midway in the second
period when three quick plays
covered 48 yards for touch,
down. A tumble by James Nc
Gill of Winnsboro was recover
ed by High Point tackle Truitt
Grant on the South Carolina 4e
to set up the score.
Joe White, Charlotte Harding
back, passed to Raleigh's Dick
Sommers, who caught the ball on
the 30 and skidded to the II be-
fore he was downed.
Fayetteville's Howie, Cheshire
picked up two and the next play
saw Wilmington Fullback Dick
Smith sweep wide around his left
for Is yards and a score.

Two Platoon Grid
System On Way Out,
Alexander Thinks

New York, Dec. 3-(P)-Will-
lam A. Alexander, the grand old
man of Southern Football, says
the two platoon system is on the
way out because the public
doesn't like it.
The athletic director of Geor-
gia Tech helped write the rules
that make the system possible.
81 can't blame a coach for
using two platoors under the pre-
sent rules" Alexander told the
touchdown club of New York last
night. Il think the committee
made a mistake"
"The committee had o n e
thought in mind" he declared
"That was the substitution o !
one player after each play with.
out penalty. If a coach hac
eleven good men on the field but
needed a kicker or a line backel
or a place kicker, he could send
him in.

Baseball Group
Begins Sessions
In Minneapolis

Minneapolis, Dec. 4-[P)-
The men who have replaced the
ehorse trader as shrewd bargain
ers converged on Minneapolis to-
day for their annual carnival OF
buying and selling Of baseball ta-
lent.
Sandwiched in between trades,
purchases and sales will be ses-
sions of the 47th annual conven-
tion of the National Association
of Professional Leagues, starting
Wednesday morning for a three
Aday run. 1t is this organization
that, generally speaking develops
and seasons the young ball play
ers for major league teams.
1t appeared that talent would
be the big talking point in this
years trading with money being
relegated to a secondary role.
Most clubs had good seasons last
year, with the resultant full treas
uries dulling the desire to peddle
up-and-coming players without
egetting something potentially as
good in return.
Every major league team with
farm connections will have men
on hand. In all, an estimated
1900 representatives of virtually
every league connected with pro-
fessional baseball have indicated
they will attend.
A couple OF touchy questions
appeared headed for informal
r. discussion, at least, if they don't
reach the convention floor. Pre-
convention gossip was that tele-
vision, which hasn't affected ma
jor league attendance but has
hurt crowds in minor league
parks would get going over.
The other concerned bonus
payments to players, technical
problem for owners and mana
gers. There was no inkling of
what if any, changes might be
cproposed among the early arri-
walls, a few of whom moved in
today.

Underdog use Trojans Battle Lucky
N0tre Dame Irish To 4 l4-A Draw

Notre Dame, the mighty Irish
of football, all but fell off the
pedestal of the giants today.
The Irish ran into a red hot
Trojan eleven from the Uni
versity of Southern California
and were indeed fortunate to
walk off the green grass Of the
Memorial Coliseum clutching a
l4-14 tie-a deadlock gained in
the last 80 seconds OF play.
Gone was Notre Danes proud
record of unbeaten performance
in % ga mes. This one snapped
that.consecutive win streak at 81.
Saved, however, was their re-
cord of no defeats in % games.
But that was thin syrup for a
battle today that found Leahy's
Green jerseyed giants forced to
scramble for tie.
Twice in the last quarter the
under-rated, thrice-beaten Tro-
jams bent the Notre Dame armor
for touchdowns, overcoming a
seven-point lead the Notre
Danes grabbed in the second
period as crowd Of 100,57l
people roared in Joy or anguish.
Then, in the final minute OF
the game, 170-pounder BNl Gay,
a speedmaster from Chicago +,
took Torjan kickoff and raced
it back 81 yards before he was
hauled down on the Trojan 49,
yard line.
Notre Dame got up to the one
yard line. The Trojans fought
fvuriously. Fullback Frank Pam
ELI managed to get two feet.
That squat Emil Sitko, who
broke the Trojan back with 76-
yard gallop in this game last
year. went over for the tying
touchdown.
Steve Oracko calmly kicked the
point that gave the Irish the tie.
The Troys were both grieved
and joyful. They had been
figured to lose by 20 points
more if master Leahy so elect
ed.
But they played inspired, alert
football all afternoon. They saw
the Irish tumble four times in
the first half, and were never
able to cash in. although once
they got to within two feet Of
the promised land.
Notre Dame finally got around
to scoring in the second period.
Tripucka, with the ball on the
Trojan As, shot a pass to his
giant right end, Leon Hart.
Hart, all 225 pounds of him,
truged, ran, jerked and tore his
way IS yards to score. At least
half the Trojan team took shot
at him, some, it seemed, a Sc
cond crack. But he kept going
and Oracko made it TO at half
time for the Irish.
Late in the tird, however, Half
back Jack Kirby intercepted a
Williams pass and ran it back II
yards to the Irish AZ. Dean Dill
was spilled for five yeards loss,
but made seven on a run. Then
he passed to Kirby for % yards
down the sidelines, and when he
fourth quarter dawned, the Tro-
jams were on the Irish IS.
Dill, electing to run instead Of
pass, raced up to the five. Full
back Bill Martin hit the line,
that vaunted line of Hart, all
American Bill Fischer and the
rest, for three. Art Battle added
one more, and from the one-yard
Mark Martin found hugehole
on the left side of the Irish line
and sailed through standing up.
Dill's placement tied the count.
With three minutes or less to
go, use got the ball again in
midfield. Kirby ripped off 16
yards. Dill found an end, Re-
ME Tolman, for 16 yards. He
made six himself to reach the IL.
and Martin hit the line for six
