Heath Is Eligible
For Pro Circles
In 49, Says Bell
BY the A.socioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.-Com-
missioner Bert Bell says he believes
Stan Heath, passing star at the
University of Nevada, will be elig-
ible to play in the National Foot
ball League in 1949, if he so chooses
Bell expressed his personal opinion
! in the matter last night after re-
ceiving a telegram from Coach Joe
Sheeketski of Nevada saying that
Heath has no more eligibility left
at Nevada after next June.
To play in the National Football
League, Heath would have to have
the unanimous consent of the 10
club owners.
The league has q ruling that no
college athlete can be signed to a
professional contract until his class
graduated.
But In view Of Sheeketskis tele-
gram, Bell said the league should
sign him now.
Bell said no special meeting has
to be called to sound out the
club owners, explaining that they
can express their opinions in let-
tiers and at any time.
Bell usually speaks for the league,
however, and his opinions are &C
cepted by the club owners.

Hogertys Chin Up Despite Hoyos' Bad Year
Coach Horoed by INJURIES Sees Dog Fight With W. Saturday

speech and Jack just laughed.
Losing is never fun he said.

and scream that the worlds

good with the bad and we know
it can't go on like this forever
Hard luck always has been just
outside Hagerty's door, like
hound dog doing in the sun. But
the memory of getting Johnny
Fleming ready to do the kicking
in the 1886 game with Manhat-
tan always is worth a smile.
Fleming had been injured -
sprained his ankle-and wasn't
even allowed to practice until
Wednesday. Then, while the rest
of the squad walked the quarter
mile over hill and dale to the
practice field, he was driven over
in q private limousine.
Two days it went on. Friday
Fleming was chauffered back
from practice, alighted from the
car and promptly fell down the
basement steps, spraining his
ankle all over again.
1--WE hope to have Conn ready
for this game" said Jack, coming
back to the topic of the moment,
"but> I. don't know how good he'll
be. Losing him and the Babe
undoubtedly made a big differ
ence. If you've got the ball and
can't move it you've got to kick, !"
he explained. That means the
other team has control of the ball
most of the time and you can't
score without it. That, briefly,
is what happened to us against
Villanova. If the same thing
happens Saturday we'll be in
trouble again"
"And don't forget" added Du-
bofsky. I'VE lost Al Sarashevitz,
Tom Dolan and Bill Dzugan.
That hurt, too"
There was a knock on the door
and a head popped in.
"Mr. Hagerty," it said, "I've
got a real tough exam coming up
at 7 o'clock tonight; what should

Mike Palm, George Murtagh

The Hoyas took such a physical
beating from Villanova Hagerty
almost was tempted to call off
Mondays practice As 1t is, two
good days are about all the prep
ping they'll have for the big
game. That's about all they can
stand.
But Hagerty never was one for
making excuses. He always has
taken the material at hand and
made the most of it, and this
years supply was thin. In years
when the Hilltoppers were gasp
ing for break-away backs and
passers they had plentiful
supply of good, rugged linemen.
This year they had a couple of
backs who figured to roam far,
wide and handsome, and there
was q sudden scarcity of line
men. The crowning blow was
the injury of Babe Baranowski
and Billy Conn, their one-two
punch.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 17.-Heavy-

sumes his exhibition tour tonight
against Jimmy Bivins, a fellow he
once regarded as the logical con-
tender Tor his crown.
Five years ago a meeting be-
tween Louis and the Cleveland
Negro might have produced plenty
Of fireworks in the ring, but the
setting is different now.
Tonight's bout is six-round,
no-decision affair with pillow
like 12-ounce gloves instead of
the regulation 8.
The only way Bivins can win is
by a knockout or a technical
knockout-and on the basis of
Bivins' recent record that prospect

Michigan is commonly regarded
as the country's No. team, and
what it seems to boil down to Is
that the Western Conferences best
passing squad comes to town to meet
the second best pass defense team.
In five conference games the two
teams have played three common
opponents, Northwestern, Illinois
and Indiana. Michigan also has
played Minnesota and Purdue and
Ohio State has played Iowa and
Wisconsin.
The Wolverines, paced by Charley
Ortman, have averaged 158 yards
game on passes. Other good pass
ers are Quarterback Pete Elliott,
Fullback Tom Peterson, and Half
back Walt Teninga.
The Buckeye defense has yielded
only 566 yards game on opposi-
ton passes, or six yards more than

 A federal judge said the beer had to be dumped. So there it goes now, with many gurgle and a sigh, out past the brewery and thence along many sad mile to the sea.
 The beer flows from the capacious vats of the United States Brewing Corporation plant at Red Bluff. The plant is in receiver-ship-reorgani- zation proceeding.
 The judge said the Corporation probably would lose money trying to bottle all that beer during re- organization. Besides it would hold up reorganization, so dump her boys.

 Buyers said it will cost an addi- tional $l25 ton to freeze and then transport the tuna to Astoria, Ore. canneries. The question is whether the difference in price will make it more profitable for fishing boats to make the long trip south. Prices at Astoria have been around $500 ton.
