uprights just as he did for the extra
points after each of the two Deacon
touchdowns that were to follow.
The Indians never caught up al
though they closed the gap to q
single point in the second chapter
when Tailback Tommy KorczowskI
fired a pass to Jack Bruce on a
touchdown play that covered 81
yards. Joseph Buddy Lex missed
the try for extra point that would

Wheezing Yale Beats
Little Connecticut
In 'Breather,' 10
By the Associotad Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. O.
Yale, heavy favorite. barely de-
feated stubborn University of Con-
necticut eleven 7 to 0, in the Yale
Bowl today before $4,000. 1t was
supposed to have been a breather
for the Ellis, but they were hufflng
and putting at the finish.
The only score of the hard-fought
battle came with 65 seconds to play
in the third period. 1t was sharp
pass which covered IA yards, Tex
Furse to Levi Jackson, and caught
the Uconns by surprise. Furse set
it up smartly. Bill Booze converted.
Except for that, it was Yale that
was surprised good part of the
afternoon by the Upstate small
college lads making their first ap-
pearance here.
Lots of credit, for Connecticut's
brilliant exhibition belongs to a
spectacular kicker, Leo Pinsky, and
a speedy scatback, 153-pound Don
Ross. Pinsky's punting kept the Ellis
off balance at critical moments, and
Ross running proved pesky to the
Ivy Leaguers.
Connecticut missed its best oppor-
tunity on the opening kickoff play
when George Blueher fell on Bob
Rains tumble on Yale's seven.
But, the Uconn's Bill Moll dupli-
Gated on the next play and Yale's
Bill Conway recovered on the five

Other excitement occurred in the

field goal from the 80 early in the
quarter. Then, with five minutes
left, penalties nullified two jaunts
across the Uconn goal line, one a
32-yard run by Jackson and imme-
diately afterWard 39-yard pass by
Jackson to Dan Wagster.
From a statistical standpoint Yale
had big edge with 10 first downs
to only three for Connecticut, and

ATHENS, Ga, Oct. 2.-North
Carolina fumbled away two scoring
chances in the first half and lost
! their punch when they needed it
most but in the second half the Tar
Heels, led by Charley Justice, ripped
through Georgia today, 21-14.
Justice scored all three Carolina
touchdowns. The third was an 85-
yard punt return by the Asheville,
N. c., speedster, easily the most
spectacular play of the game.
The passing attack of Georgia S
vaunted quarterback, Johnny Rauch,
was completely absent until late in
the final period. Then he passed
to End Gene Lorendo to get the
Bulldogs back into the game. How
ever. in the last four minutes Caro-
lima hogged the ball and Georgia
could not work up another threat.
Georgia's first score was another
crowd thriller. Halfback Eli Mari
cich hauled in a pass thrown by
Cardinals Hosea Rodgers on the
Georgia Is and out-ran some six
tacklers for rs yards and the first
touchdown.
Just before the interception Ken
Mccall had gathered up a Carolina
tumble to halt a Tar Heel drive
in the goal post shadows.
Justice, North Carolina's vaunted
all-America halfback candidate,
Rodgers, and Johnny Clements were
big guns during the first half as
the Tar Heels gained 119 yards
rushing and 103 passing Justice
did most Of the passing to Art

Georgia supporters smelled a
stunning upset as the Bulldogs led

OF Parity Support on
Hogs, Poultry, Eggs
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

The House Agriculture Committee
voted yesterday to hold the price
supports of hogs, poultry and eggs
at not less than 80 per cent Of par
3ty.
It approved an amendment to the
general farm price support contin-
uation legislation throwing out part
of a previous formula that would
have allowed the price pegs Of these
three farm products to drop as low
as 60 per cent of parity.
Parity" is price intended to re-
turn to farmers an income carrying
a purchasing power-in relation to
other segments of the economy
comparable to some past favorable
period for agriculture, usually 1909
IA.
Up for House Vote This Week.
The legislation, continuing the
farm price supports to June 80. 1850.
comes to a vote in the House this
week. AS revised by the committee
yesterday, it provides:
/. Price supports at 80 per cent
Of parity for the six basic commod-
ities-cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco.
rice and peanuts. These supports
now are at 80 per cent with the ex-
ception Of cotton, which is at 92.5
per cent.
2. Also, supports at not less than
30 per cent of parity for milk and
milk products, hogs, poultry and
eggs. These supports could run
higher II the Secretary of Agricul-
ture deems this necessary to bring
out larger production.
Milk and milk products were as
signed support floor of not less
than 80 per cent of parity when the
Agriculture Committee first approved
the bill April 16.
3. Supports ranging from so per
cent of parity to the highest support
level in force for 1948 for certain
nonbasic commodities, including
dry beans and peas, soybeans, fax
seed, potatoes and other perishables.
This would permit the Secretary to
reduce supports to prevent surpluses
of these crops as we'll as to boost
them when more production is
needed.
4. Continuous supports on wool
as now authorized in separate legis-
lation.
Acreage Restriction Would Be
Extended.
The legislation also continues
Government authority to impose
acreage restrictions and to set mar
keting quotas, but Chairman Hope
of the Agriculture Committee said
that due to the huge demands for
farm production there is little if
any likelihood that marketing
quotas will be invoked on any large
scale in the next year and half.
House Speaker Martin said legis-
lation continuing farm price sup
ports is bound to pass before Con-
gress adjourns June 10.
Without congressional action the
supports on basic commodities would
drop December 81 to So to rs per
cent Of parity, and those for other
commodities would expire COM
pletely.
