REDH0T GRID
 TEAMS SHACK
 UpF0R BOWL

NEW YORK, Nov 8-tR-With just two big weeks to go in this wild "wham-the-tavorite' football season, Oklahoma, California and Rice today stacked up as the only redhot bowl candidates in the land.
 It's a good let that the unDeaten Sooners and Golden Bears will do repeat performances-third ranked Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl and fourth-rated California in the Rose Bowl.
 Rice's Owls, No. 8 nationally, have emerged as the outstanding team of the Southwest and should wind up as host in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas
 Where sponsors will proceed from there in filling the four major post season bills and the dozen other minor attractions is an engaging mystery.
 They probably will have to do business with teams that have been kicked around a bit-maybe lost two or three games.
 BOUND FOR JAN.
 Of last weeks top ten teams in the Associated Press poll, five Notre Dame CD, Army @, Michi- gan (5), Cornell CD and Michi- gan State d0) are either disin- terested or are bound by conference edict from participating in the Jan. extravaganzas.
 The other two--siXth-ranked Bay Tor and ninth-rated Southern Meth odist--are beginning to lose some of their bowl glimmer.
 The Western Conference will send one of it's representatives to Pasadena, but it can't be North western, which went last year, or Michigan, which went the year he- fore, or Michigan State, which is a new league member, but not yet a title eligible.
 FOR ROSE BOWL
 This prize probably will be de- cided Saturday at Columbus, Ohio, where Ohio State clashes with Illi- nois. Ohio's Buckeyes are tied with Michigan for the loop lead with

DRAFTING OF PLAYERS 10
 START NOW

NEW YORK, Nov. 8--tR-Major league club owners will spend over $100,000 in the annual player draft ill Cincinnati next week in hopes of snaring another Hack Wilson, whom the Chicago Cubs acquired for $7,500 back in 1925.
 History shows that few of the players picked up at basement prices becomes standouts- even stick in the majors. However, there are exceptions.
 The Cubs found one when they drafted Wilson from Toledo. Wilson belonged to the New York Giants but slipup in the Giant office exposed him to the draft and the alert Cubs claimed him.
 Hack led the National League in home runs in 1926 and tour years later set the National League homs run record of 56 and the major league runs batted in mark of 190.

 Bowl sponsors may have to dip down into the growing list of Dark Horses" for candidates. Virginia, Wyoming, Boston University and College of the Pacific, all unbeaten and united. head this group.
 SOME LICKING
 Wyoming ran itself out of breath licking Colorado State, 103-0, for victory No. 8. Boston U. made Temple it's sixth victim, 28-7, while College of the Pacific, with seven straight triumphs, took holiday.
 Tulane, pummeled earlier by Notre Dame, saw it's bowl chances dimmed hy a 21-2l tie with oft defeated Navy. This left Kentucky, with seven victories and single loss to Southern Methodist, as the test bowl bet in the Southeastern Conference.
 Southern Methodist. beaten by Rice, was held to costly tie by the Texas Aggies, 27-2T, while Bay Tor lost it's first game of the year, lowing to Texas, 20-0.

Snead Is
 Golfer of
 Year 49

CHICAGO. Nov. 8-R-Golfer Of the year? You don't need three guesses to know it's Sammy Snead.
 The Professional Golfers Asso- citation of America said today Snead was No. 1 in it's annual nationwide poll.
 Sports writers and sports casters voted Cary Middlecoff runnerup. Middlecoff ruined Snead's chances of a grand title slam by beating nim out of the National Open Crown. Johnny Palmer, Tam O'Shanter champion, was third in the balloting.
 Snead overcame the putting jit- ters to post his finest campaign. He won three zig ones, the Ma tional P.G.A., Augusta Masters and Western Open, as well as other championships in the Greensboro Open, Washington Star Open and Dapper Dan Open. He finished in a tie for third or better in eight other meets, including a second spot deadlock in the National Open.
 Averaging 69.49 strokes in 69 rounds, Snead is top money win ner with $3G,893 followed by NGid- dlecoff with $24,604. Middlecotfs round average is 69.92.

ROSE BOWL
 REPEAT FOR
 BIG 1oA5kED

CHICAGO, Nov. 3-R n Harry Stuhldreher, wisconsin athletic d. rector. is in favor of a compromise in any new Big Ten-Pacific Coast conference Rose Bowl pact that may be signed.
 The Little General of Notre Danes famed Four Horsemen days suggested at a Quarterback Club meeting yesterday that a Big Ter team be permitted to repeat in the Rose Bowl every two years instead of three and that the Pacific Coast Conference do the same.
 The Coast Circuit sends its champion into the bowl. The Big Ten does not permit one team to appear in the bowl more than once in three years, even if it wins the title.
 Che Big Ten repeat ban has drawn strong criticism on the West Coast).
 The possibility of Notre Dame going to the Rose Bowl or any bowl, was promptly spiked by Ed Moose" Krause, Irish Athletic Di- rector.
 Coach Frank Leahy and the school feels that after 10 tough games, our season should be fin ished,' he said we will maintain our policy of not playing post season games"

L adv Medhurst Likes African Farm Life

When the distinguished Lady

gracious addition, will lose one
OF its popular hostesses. and there
is no doubt that when she looks
back on the Capital social scene
she will reminsce quite a bit. For,
as she says with q twinkle in her
eye. There is 50 much of It,"
However. the exceedingly at
tractive Lady Medhurst. wife Of
Air Chief Marshall. Sir Charles
Medhurst, Chief of the Royal
Air Force here attached to the
British Joint Staff Mission. ex-
planned over tea in her spacious
apartment in the Hotel 2400
that she and Sir Charles would
be far from burying themselves

Instead, they will 60 into the
land where snow falls on the

two-thirds the population) with
all conveniences, such as air
service, buses. excellent roads, etc.
They have a farm Of over 400
acres at Nakuru, situated 1000
feet above sea level.
AS Lady Medhurst said, "A
great deal of the 400 acres is taken
up with virgin forest, but there
also grows a great amount Of

Now it is used for making some
Of the best insecticides"

neighbors from their Kenyan
home. Lady Medhurst added
that there is great deal Of social
life there. There are some very
good clubs and no servant prob

to such places as Capetown and

Lady Medhurst first became ac-
qNainted with Kenya. wnen Sir
Charles was air commander Of
the Mediterranean and Mid East

entire area. She was greatly i'm

Agriculture Dept to cease keeping
statistics on the stocks of both
green and roasted coffee on hand

said:
"We are on the defensive no
longer; we are conducting a hard

Witness Recalls

Court here.
Schomaker recalled that one day
late in 1888 he delivered to Com

plication for membership signed
II. r. Bridges, and that he had
handled Bridges party book made
out in the name of Dorgan. He also
said that he had seen Bridges pay
his party dues many times" and
heard him try to get others to join.
Bridges, president of the lnt'l
Longshoremen & Warehousemen's
Union, is charged with perjury be-
cause of his denial when he applied
for citizenship papers in 1945 that
he never had been a Communist.
He was born in Australia.
Schomaker also said that during
the San Francisco waterfront strike
of 1884 he and Bridges conferred
on strategy with Earl Browder,
then head of the American Com
munist party. The meeting took
place in a shack on a Santa Clara
county prune ranch, Schomaker de-
clared.

General Strike
Fails In France

Paris (LPA)-The Nov. 5 gen
raj strike of French organized
abor, Communist and anti-Com-
nunist alike, failed to tie up the
nation but may bode trouble for
he future.
For one thing, there is a chance
hat the Communist leaders of the
General Confederation of Workers
will call additional strikes. For
mother, participation of the Soc
alist Force Ouvriere in the walk
)ut may cause a rift in the none
90 stable French government be-
,ause of the presence of Socialists
n the cabinet.
The strike was called after the
government refused to grant gen.
,ral pay increases. 1t was most eff
;ective on the railroads and in the
mines where the Confederation is
trong. 1t appeared far less effec-
i've among postal and communica-
ions workers belonging to the
Force Ouvriere.
