New York Strikers
Today for ; Millions
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. ia S3,-
900, 900 damage suit will be filed
today in Federal Court against
a striking AFL Teamsters' Union
local by New York City's largest
truck operators, an employers
spokesman has announced.
Joseph M. Adelizzi, spokesman for
the five biggest truck owner asso-
Citations, said last night the EN-
ployers' Labor Committee will sue
Local 807 OF the AFL International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters.
The suit will be based on allega-
tions that the local has refused to
bargain collectively with the truck
owners and thus has violated the
National Labor Relations Act.
Employ 10 Per Cent of Workers.
The five associations employ 10
per cent of Local 807's 9,400 men,
bers, who walked out a week ago
last Wednesday in a contract dis
pute.
Mr.. Adelizzi said the owner groups
also would bring action before the
National Labor Relations Board In
an effort to compel Local 807 to
bargain.
The NLRB already has under con.
sideration charges of unfair labor
practices lodged against the union
last week by the employers under
the Taft-Hartley Act. The employ.
ers charged striking drivers coerceG
and intimi6ated nonstriking truck.
men.
/ Truck Owners Stand Firm.
The major truck owners are stand.
ing firm against meeting Local BOTS
compromise terms, including wage
increase of 1712 cents an hour anc
disqualification plan paid for by
the employers. The major owners
voted Saturday night to reject the
17la demand and to "stano
pat" on their offer of Is cents.
Previous contracts, which expired
August 81, provided pay for 40
hour week ranging from $500 fol-
helpers to $7140 for trailer-t truck
drivers. The union at first de-
manded a pay increase of so cents
an hour in new contracts. 1t also
sought benefit fund provisions.
Mr.. Adelizzi said last night he
expected $500 truckmen in New
York City and Northern New Jer-
sey would return to work today
under 15-cent agreements. The g.
300 belong to one New York City
local and three New Jersey locals,
and he said many of the members
have been off the job in what he
termed a sympathy walkout.

Texas Party Leaders
To Settle Stevenson,
Johnson Fight Today
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. l3.-
The Texas Democratic Executive
Committee today faced the tough
task of deciding whether Lyndon B.
johnson or Coke r. Stevenson re-
ceived the most votes for United
States Senator in the August % run
OF primary.
The usually routine job of adding
up the votes and certifying the
winner was complicated this time
by the narrow 162-vote margin given
Mr.. johnson in the last unofIicial
tally and the charge by Mr.. Steven
son that 202 votes from Jim Wells
County were added to the poll list
several days after the polls closed"
All but one of these 2o2 votes
were for Mr.. johnson, Mr.. Steven
son said. He told a press confer
ence he was prepared to offer the
committee proof that the returns
were not correct.
Suit Set for Trial.
While the Executive Committee
shouldered its te-counting job,
lawyers for both Mr.. Stevenson and
Mr.. johnson went to court in Alice,
Tex, where Mr.. Johnson's suit to
bar a recount Of Jim Wells County
votes was set for trial.
Mr.. johnson came here on the eve
of the crucial count declaring, -
believe we received a majority. OF
the votes cast on August % and
believe the Executive Committee
will confirm this
Interest In the Stevenson John
son tussle took precedence over the
convention battle between pro-
Truman Democrats and anti-Tru'
man Democrats. That row be-
came a sideshoW for the moment
while most of the pre-conventlor
lobby talk centered on the possibility
of a floor fight Tuesday over the
Executive Committees report or
the vote count.
Mr.. johnson was asked at a press
conference whether he plans tc
make such a fight II his victory
prediction fails to pan out.
I'VE have made no preparations
to fight it out anywhere" Mr.. john
son replied. If I get the most votes
as tabulated by the committee. then
I want to be certified. II my op-
ponent gets at least one more vote
than I do, then he should be GER
titled"
Mr.. Stevenson said he was not
vet ready to say what he might do'
beyond appearing before the Execu-
tive Committee. Asked for comment
on some contentious that the COM
mittee has no power except to count
the votes as certified by county
Democratic chairmen, Mr.. Steven
son said:
The committee has the right to
20 into anything that's tainted with
fraud. don't agree with the argu-
ment that the committee has no
authority to 60 into it."
Strategy Undeveloped.
1t appeared early today that the
final strategy in the fight for con-
yention control by the loyalist or
pro- Truman faction, headed by
Robert w. Calvert, Executive Com
mittee chairman; Gov. Beauford H.
Jester and Floor Leader Byron
Shelton of Temple had not been
fully developed.
The Steering Committee met yes
terday. 1t was reliably reported to
be at odds on several proposed
methods of trying to purge the con-
vention and the presidential elec-
tors named in May of any one who
favors the election of Gov. j. Strom
Thurmond OF South Carolina as
President. -....

New Money War
Between Pro
Grid Loops On

New York, Dec. l -(AL) "A
new dollar war is shaping up be-
tween the National Football Lea
que and the rival All America
Conference in their bid for the
cream of the 1948 college crop.
Spirited bidding is reported al
ready under way on such stars
as Doak Walker of Southern

and Chuck Bednarik of Penn

Both circuits, seeking to get
the jump on the other, have held
very hush-hush draft meeting, it
has been learned reliably.
The All America player selec-
ton ceremony was staged in the
middle of the summer and word
of it was carefully guarded. The
National held a secret session in
Pittsburgh Nov. Is.
The Milwaukee Journal said
yesterday the New York Yankees
had offered Heath, Nevada's bril-
liant passer, $40, for two sea-
sons.
A Yankee spokesman acknow-
lodged Burleigh Grimes had
gone to talk to Heath, but said
no offer had been made.
Were anxious to sign Heath
or any other good man who will
help our club" the spokesman
said. 1--WE want a passer."
Probably because of the earli-
ness of the meeting, Heath was
completely overlooked in the AAC
draft.

are trying to land is Bednarik,

To Hanes Five
BY The Assoeiated Press

No major college basketball
games are scheduled tonight IN
North Carolina, but followers of
the hardwood heroes have plenty
to talk about.
North Carolina States power
packed Huskies furnished the
first big surprise of the season
by stubbing their toes on a
scrappy Hanes Hosiery outfit,
going down by a 1888 score last
night at Winston-Salem.
The official opener after
three 100-point exhibition per-
formances against service teams
last month, found States whirl-
wind attack slowed down to a
walk. The teams meet again Fri
day night at Raleigh.
Playing a tight man-to-man
defense, the Hosiery club kept
the Southern Conference cham
pions under its thumbs all night.
Hanes broke a 1910 tie for
a 22-15 lead at the half, saw 1t
cut to 1881 with seven minutes
to play and then spurted away
to win convincingly.
The defeat was the ninth in
three seasons at State for Coach
Everett Case.

At center he had to bow to Bed

Sprinkled through the third
team are such standouts as Leon

Tom Hamilton
Is Offered
Pitt Position

Pittsburgh, Dec. 1-P-cap&
Tom Hamilton had a choice OF
jobs today-he can remain az
athletic director Of the U. S.
Naval Academy or become all
around sports boss Of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh.
Just as most everyone had
predicted, Hamilton yesterday
was offered he job of Pitt di-
rector of physical education and
athletics - a brand new posi-
ton combining the athletic di-
rectorship with that Of physical
education.
And with the position goes
the task of bringing Pitt back
to athletic glory-particularly to
the place of prominence it for
merly occupied among the ma
tons football powers.
The athletic dictatorship has
been vacant since last July when
the veteran Jimmy Hagan re-
signed to climax a series Of in
vestigations over Pitts declining
athletic fortunes-particularly on
the gridiron.
Chancellor Rufus H. Fitzger-
aid, who announced the selec-
ton, said later Hamilton will
come here by plane Thursday
to look over the situation.
Like most married men who
have an important decision to
make, Tom will talk it over
with his wife. Mrs. Hamilton
will accompany her husband to
Pittsburgh.
AS far as the Navy's concern
ed Hamilton can retire any time
he wishes. A Navy official at
Washington explained he has
accumulated enough service to
60 on the retirement list.

as Rifenburg but weighing 220
pounds. This is his seventh and
last year of college football. He
played one year as a Marine
VIZ trainee at North Carolina,
three at West Point with the
great teams of 1944-46, and three
at Mississippi.
His experience gives him an
edge on his opponents. Between
plays he seems almost sluggish
and uninterested, conserving his
energy for action. On defense,
he can crash into opposing back
fields almost before the ball is
snapped, and as a pass receiver
his size and speed make him a
terror. "He's a great football
player" says Coach Johnny
Vaught.
At first team tackles are two
giants Leo Nomellini is six
feet-two, "a years old, 250
pounds. He served 10 months in
South Pacific in the Marines,
and is junior at Minnesota.
The heaviest lineman on the
squad, he is great at recovering
fumbles. The team calls him
LEO the lion" because of his
roaring voice. "The closest
thing to Bronko Nagurski in
sheer physical prowess I've seen
since Nagurski," says Coach
Bernie Bierman. Nomellini
played tackle on offense, guard
on defense.
The other tackle is Bill Fischer
captain of the mighty Notre
Dame team. He is 81 years old,
six feet, two inches, and weighs
235 pounds. Fischer was too
young for war service. He is
playing his last year for the Irish.
"Much of our success this year
is due to the wonderful leader
ship of Bill Fischer" says Coach
Frank Leahy.
Fischer made the All-America
last year as guard, and plays
this position more frequently
than he does tackle, but he fits
in either spot.
At guard is the standout of
Oklahoma's excellent team, Bud
dy Burris, rs, five feet, eleven
inches, 210 pounds, a school of
business senior. He served 38
months with the Army Engineers
and is tops as blocker and on
defense. He has not been hurt
all season, bearing out Coach
Bud Wilkinson's contention that
hustling player seldom is in
jured. Texas Christian linemen,
after losing, 21-18, said Burris
'is the greatest guard we have
played against in years.
Opposite Burris on the ALL
America is Rod Franz, a Junior

Move Afoo+ TO Have Night Come
In Orange Bowl On New Years

Miami, Fla, Dec. 1 lap -
The question today is, will there
be five or six post-season foot
ball games in the Orange Bowl?
Not all in one day, of course,
but there is talk Of double
header on New Years. Five
games are scheduled. The sixth
is still in the promotion stage.
1t came into the picture yester-
day when a Miami group -irked
because the Orange Bowl sche-
dule committee picked thrice
beaten Texas to meet Georgia
on New Years day tried to
match Santa Clara with Penn
State or Tulane here that night.
Gardnar Mullow, Miami Tennis
Star, communicated with Santa
Clara athletic director Dennis A.
Heenan Monday night, and he
was followed yesterday by w. A.
Scott, identified as a former Los
Angeles hotel official now in
Miami.
Heenan said Scott had no off
cial connection with Santa Clara
and Bronco Publicity Chief M
w. (Mike) Yields said:
eff the night game is sponsored
by some group of malcontents
trying to organize something ir
competition with the Orange
Bowl, Santa Clara could not be
interested.
Andy Rodgers, sports directo,
at Tulane, said the Green Wave

mits its school to participate only

195-pound powerhouse of North
Westerns backfield splits oppos-
ing lines wide open, and once in
the clear he cannot be hauled
down. He plays both offense and
defense, is % years old, served
in the Navy, including rough ac-
ton on a destroyer mine layer
at Okinawa.
"Murakowski has terrific
speed" says his coach, Bob
Voigts, land he's as good de-
fensive back as there is in the
Big Nine Conference today. He's
exceptionally fine on trap plays
and his speed makes him very
good on end sweeps"
Darling of Texas is Doak
Walker of Southern Methodist, a
21-year-old junior. "He is one
of the greatest players of all
time in the southwest, and mat
ches smartness and courage a.
gainst power" says his coach,
Matty Bell. Walker served in
both the Merchant Marine and
the Army.
In the first eight games of the
season Walker carried the ball
SO times for 442 yards, passed
81 times with % completions for
238 yards and six touchdowns,
and averaged 43.4 yards on %
punts. He returned eight punts
for 1873 yards, caught II passes
for 256 yards and three touch
downs.
Walker resembles Justice as
runner, using his interference
effectively and feinting tackles
out of position.
Fourth member of the first
team backfield is a solid, hard
running successor to Glenn Da-
Wis at West Point-Bobby Stuart,
five feet, eleven inches and ITS
pounds. He has to his distinction
one of the longest of all touch
down runs-103 yards-an i'm
portant factor in his teams 1920
defeat of Pennsylvania.
He is great team player,
with spirit and drive" says
Coach Earl Blaik of Army.
Playing his last year at the
Point, he had a net gain of 1926
yards by rushing before the Navy
game, averaging rs yards for
each try.
At end is the star of one of
the nations great teams-Dick
Rifenburg of Michigan. He is a
six foot, three inch, 197-pound
senior, the standout on a squad
where the level was so high that
individual merit often was lost.
In Big Nine conference play, the
toughest there is, he gained more
than 300 yards on passes, scor-
ing four touchdowns, and made
70 yards in ten end-around rush
es.
Rifenburg's ability to get be-
hind the secondary, plus his
catching skill, is the basis Of his
playing style. A long-striding
runner, he made many over-the-
shoulder and off-balance catch
es.
