Leipzig Professorship
By the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Dec. 22.-Gerhart Eisler
the man the House Committee on
Un-American Activities calls the
No. American Communist, was
reported today to have been awarded

agency Adm said the Saxon Educa-
ton Ministry appointed Eisler to
the post, although he Is still being
held against his will In the United
States as a victim of the imperial
istic warmongers,
This was a reference to the fact
that Eisler got in trouble for re-
fusing to answer questions at
hearing of the House committee in
February, 1947. The District Court
in Washington convicted him Of
contempt of Congress and sentenced
him to q year In jail. He appealed,
arguing that the committee cannot
eonstitutionally make witness dis
close his politics. The SNprenne,
Court agreed November to con-
slider the appeal.
ADM said the professorship was In
"current political and social ques-
tions" in Leipzig's social science
faculty.
In New York, Eisler said the ap-
pointment was "one more reason
why I should be permitted to 60
home"
He said that a few months ago
the university asked him if he would
accept an appointment and he re-
: piled that he would. Four weeks
ago, he said, his brother wrote from
Berlin that the appointment was
expected any day. However, he said

Smeared Punt Turns
Tide for Longhorns
In Sugar Bowl Win
BY the A,soeiotsd Press

NEW ORLEANS, JAN 2.-Texans,
who won't even use shrinking vio-
lets for funerals, were Dragging
prouder and louder than ever today,
this time over the great Bobby
Layne and his Longhorns who kept
the Lone Star escutcheon at the
Sugar Bowl masthead with a slash
ing 27-7 triumph over Alabamas
ebbing Crimson Tide.
Equalling the all-time margin OF
victory in IA years of Sugar Bowl
ing, the University of Texas yester-
day whipped the Tide with Laynes
stupendous individual exhibition
which saw him complete 10 passes
for 1873 yards, pitch for one touch
down, set up another and score one
himself as the Longhorns main
tanned the reputation of their
States college football of having
never lost game in this post
season classic in four tries.
For a half it was a great ball
game with Alabamas mighty line
giving the Longhorn wall q classy
licking. But the Texans caught
their second wind at half time in
termission and from there on out
the Tide never had a chance.
1t was early in the third period,
with the score tied TT, that huge
George Petrovich, Texas tackle,
blasted through to block Monk Mos
ley's punt on the Alabama 20-yard
line and follow the bounding ball
across the goal line where it eluded
him. Two Alabamans dove at the
pigskin but Vic Vasicek, Texas
guard, was there before them and
gathered the oval into his arms as
Petrovich also grabbed the pigskin.
That was the turning point of the
game. That broke their backs"
said Texas Coach Blair Cherry
This easily was recognizable to the
packed crowd of 72,O00.
In the final period the Longhorns
got two more touchdowns, both
through the efforts of Lew Holder,
Texas end. He intercepted pass
for one score and recovered a tumble
to set up another made by Layne.
The real story OF the game was
this: Bayle played his best Of the
season; Harry Gilmer, heart and
soul of the Alabama team, played
his worst. Gilmer, who passed for
the lone Alabama touchdown, 1as
the goat" 1t was one of his lobbihg
passes that was intercepted by
Holder and it was his tumble that
put Texas in position to make the
other score.
