PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-The
financial future of professional foot
balls lesser lights is likely to be
pretty gloomy, General Manager
Charley Ewart of the Philadelphia
Eagles predicted today.
Ewart said the name players In
the National Football League-such
as the Eagles Steve Van Buren,,
Tommy Thompson and Pete Pihos-
will continue to get fat contracts
in 1949, but that the substitutes
and rockies will find the trend away
from the big money next season.
Il think the top. players should
get every cent they're worth" Ewart
asserted. And I personally hope
we'll always be able to pay them
top salaries"
But the unmistakable trend is
downward, Ewart said. adding that
means "our teams, and those in the
American Conference, I mean
won't be Smelling out fat contracts
to subs any more"
Ewart. who doubles as backf1eld
coach of the NIL champions, ex-
planned that the pro football club
owners in trying to devise ways OF
cutting down expenses have hit on
two ways to save money.
These are, he said:
/. To reduce the player limit per
club from IS to 80.
2. To slash the salaries Of the

Game Against Georgia
Full Of IFS for Texas

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. off Texas
can stop Georgia's Joe Geri and
Floyd Reid on the ground and
Johnny Rauch's passes. the Long
horns may have themselves an
Orange Bowl victory.
However, the if" is big and getting
bigger. Georgia has had nearly 10
days Of fine practice weather both
at Miami Beach and in Athens, Ga.
and Coach Wally Butts Is O hard
man on a clear day.
The business of stopping Geri was
left unfinished by many Of Georgia's
opponents this fall The senior from
Phoenixville, Pa, who hopes to play
professionally, scored 80 points.
Geri isn't noted for speed or take
of. He's never been called a ball
handling wizard" and he doesn't
change direction like jeep. His
ability was summarized in the
Georgia Tech game when four
tacklers on one run bounced OF his
stocky 180-pound frame.
Floyd Reid is better around ends
since he has speed and maneuver-
ability. In 90 tries Reid picked up
32l yards. In addition he often is
the paycheck runner when the goal
is near.
Generally speaking, Rauch to Bob
Walston or Gene Lorendo Is Geor-
gas passing attack.
OF 1852 passes thrown by Georgia.
Rauch got off 141 of them. His
competitions were better than 500
in percentage and they gained 1907
yards.

Northwestern's Burson
Nursing Sore FIipper

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 20 (FD.-
In the absence Of any major de-
velopment. todays Rose Bowl con-
lecture centered on a right arm. 1t
belongs to Quarterback Don Bur-
son. who is not only Northwestern
University's best but practically her
only worthwhile passer.
The arm. which accounted for 80
competitions out of 80 throws for a
not so sensational gain Of 493 yards
this fall, is sore.
There is nothing seriously wrong,
but it is so sore it will be kept under
wraps, unused for throwing pur-
poses, until it accompanies its owner
onto the playing field New Years
Day against California.
The 2l-year-old arm-the exact
age of Burson-isn't the most deadly
weapon in college football.
But 1t was sharp enough to hit
targets for five of the seven touch
downs Northwestern scored via the
air. And as a threat, 1t was dam
gerous enough to keep the enemy
secondary far enough back to .permit
Art Murakowski and his running
mates to roll up gains on the ground
And roll they did, into the Rose
Bowl.

Square the two met again. In the
Wanamaker Mile. Gil Dodds broke
the American indoor record with a
time of 4:53. William Mack Of
Michigan State, who has been In
vited to compete in The Star Games,
ran second. Ross was fourth, fin
ishing ahead Of Karver.
In the I. c. "A title meet
Karver ran away from Ross, who
had the misfortune in the draw to
be placed in the third row of start
ers with Karver in the first row. BY
the time Ross had worked his way
through the pack it was too late.
Karver, not too hard pushed, eased
up to win in 4:22.7.
Ross raced in the 5th Regiment
Armory Games in Baltimore later
in the season to win without too
much effort in 4:17.9.
In the Baxter Mile of the N. Y.
A. C. meet on February IS. Karver
ran fast AIS mile. Ross was
third.
The results OF the series Of meet
ings left Karver with perhaps a
shade the better record, but Ross,
defending champion in the Junior
Board Mile here, should make race
of it. If either or both of these two
are off top form there are other top

Ewart said that cutting the player
limit would save each club in the
league about $4,000 year.

cabbage to the veterans who have
outlived their usefulness or to the
highly touted college men who fail

Football is pretty well set now
he went on. "On our club. for in
stance, we don't have too many key
men. We could get along without
them and do darned near as well as
we did this year.
so, why should we pay $1,000 to
a sub who we think is overpaid when
we can get a man maybe just as
good for $5,000?"
He went on to say that there was
time, when the war cut down the
availability of lot of players, that
the high salaries were necessary to
keep a club in operation.
Those days are over now" he
said. I'VE don't have to pay a man
for his reputation any more. We
can afford now to pay him what
he's worth.
And If he thinks he's worth
more than we do, well. we can trade
him off or release him and maybe
replace him with somebody better
than he is"

boudreau May Be Paid
$4,000 Under New
Pact, Riva|ing Teller
BY the Asseeiofed Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 2s.-The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer said today that
Manager Lou Boudreau of the Cleve-
land Indians is due for a new two
or three-year contract with higher
base pay and bigger attendance
bonuses.
The paper. in a story under the
by-line of Harry Jones, said:
Provided the Indians draw ap-
proximately the same number OF
people as they did last season, the
3l-year-old pilot will receive be-
tween $50 900 and $4,000, according
to the reported terms under dis
cussion.
"Boudreau next year is likely to
make as much as Bob Teller, who
is slated for a decrease in pay"
Boudreau, the American Leagues
most valuable player in 1948, draws
two salaries, one as manager of the
world champions and the other as
shortstop. At his home in Harvey,
Ill.,, he said:
II expect to be in Cleveland jan
uary 18. think Bill and I will dis
cuss it further at that time"
The Plain Dealers story con-
tinued:
Although the Tribes pilot Is still
working under a two-year agree
ment signed last Winter. President
Bill Veeck has indicated that he
will tear up that document and re-
place it with one that is likely to
elevate Boudreau into the highest
paid class of performers In base
ball"

Flop Of Hera|ded Duel
With Trippi Recalled;
Wildcat Star AiIing

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.-
Charley Justice will have an extra
incentive to display his ALI America
greatness in the Sugar Bowl New
! Years Day. He'll be trying to rub
out the memory of a thwarted ef-
fort there two years ago.
On January /, 1947. Justice and
his North Carolina Tar Heels lined
up for the annual classic against
Georgias Bulldogs. The assembled
multitude was breathless In ex-
pectation of a duel between Justice
and Georgia's All-America Charley
Trippi.
But the spectacular show didn't
come off. The fancy halfbacks ,pent
much Of the afternoon buried unJer
swarms of opposing linemen.
Justice, particularly, was slowed
to a creep. In II trips with the
ball he netted only 81 yards. An
overshifted Georgia line piled up
almost every Carolina strong-side
play. Trippi did a little better,
with 81 yards in IA attempts.
The Carolina Choo Choo is a
much improved player now, iudg-
ing by all reports reaching here.
His rushing average this year was
50, very impressive for a player
marked by every opponent. He
scored II touchdowns, two on punt
returns.
Justice hurled 122 times for 854
yards and a dozen touchdowns in
the recent campaign.
Justice outpunted Trippi in the
Sugar Bowl, 1873 yards to 1927. And
this year Justice had the country's
best collegiate average, a yards per
boot.
And so Charley is well equipped
to make $1,000 spectators forget
about that business two years ago.
I'm going to play the best I know
how, that's ALL" he said

AT Weak Sister Talk
Cites Season Figures
BY ths As,ecioted Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.-Simmer-
Ing since National Football
League spokesman classified the
Baltimore Colts of the rival ALL
America Conference as weak
sister, President r. c. Embry boiled
over today with some facts of his
own in rebuttal.
Discussing failure of the two
leagues to get together, a National
Football League spokesman told the
Associated Press in Philadelphia
last week that there is no way of
strengthening by adding the weak"
He called Baltimore and Buffalo
weak sisters"
Points to Six Items.
Embry said before any one counts
out the Baltimore Colts" he should
consider that:
l. The 18 businessmen behind the
club include the presidents of the
country's largest spice company and
OF four breWeries, a department
store owner, hotel owner and three
big contractors. The 200 stock
holders range from the president of
a railroad to stenographers.
2. The Colts have a 1O-year lease
on the Municipal Stadium.
3. Preseason ticket sales were
second only to Cleveland in the ALL
America Conference.
4. The club was one of four in
both leagues to experience attend
ance increases.
5. The average attendance (about
$4,000 was fourth best in both
leagues.
6. While a financial loss was suf-
fered, the earnings were second best
in the conference.
Ready to Go Next Year.
Compared to other teams which
mostly are operated by individuals,
we have the best overall strength in
professional football except for De-
troit," Embry claimed.
Embry, who also Is president of
the Baltimore Bullets professional
basket ball team, said he wants
every one to know I'VE are ready to
go again next year and expect to
have one of the best football teams"
He said the Colts, reorganized the
last year after being established in
1947, hoped to trim expenses to get
into the black. He doesn't expect
any real cutback in salaries until
the leagues adopt a common draft,
but anticipates a squad reduction of
three players might save about
$4,000"
