Gonzales. who presently is occu-
pied in making a bushel of money
as a tennis professional, will have
to wait until next January 81 tc

No. / ranking amateur for 1949
That is when the Lawn Tennis
Association is scheduled to hold
it's annual meeting here ano
either approve or disapprove the
national mems list for the cur
rent year submitted by the rank
ing committee. A delicate point
of tennis law is at issue.
A stern rule of the association
says no player who turns profess
sional before October Is may
aspire to a national ranking. 1t
so happens that Gonzales. in a
hurry to cash in on the national
championship he had just won at
Forest Hills, was sworn in as a
money player on September 20.
A resolution will be submitted
at the annual meeting to throw
out the October IS stipulation,
and it is thought it will be passed
But in the meantime, both Pancho
and the ranking committee are
caught in a switch.
On the list announced today,
Gonzales appears at least tempor-
arily in the No. ! spot. followed
in order by Ted Schroeder. whom
he defeated in a dramatic f1ve-set
final for the national crown;
Billy Talbert of New York City
and frankie Parker of Los An
geles.
If they fail to rescind the rule,
Schroeder automatically will
ascend to No. l, Talbert to No. 2,
Parker to No. 3. etc. frankie is
in the clear. Though he is play
ing in the same pro troupe with
Gonzales. he carefully waited until
after the deadline to join the
union.

By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Coach
Jess Neely's Rice Institute Owls,
champions Of the Southwest Con-
ference, have been chosen by
James j. Carroll, st. Louis betting
commissioner, as the football team
likely to win by the most points
in the bowl games on January 2.
That is, the man from Missouri,
whose odds on sporting events
generally are accepted as a ma
tional criterion, has decided that
the Texas eleven should subdue
North Carolina in the Cotton Bowl
by the days widest margin.
He makes Neely's "T" operatives
eight-point favorites over the
single wing Tar Heels, whereas
he adjudges the undefeated Okla
noma Sooners only seven and one
half points better than Louisiana
State in their Sugar Bowl tussle.
California Favored.
Possibly the most significant OF
Carrolls quotations, however, is
the six-point bulge he gives the
California Bears over Ohio State
in the Rose Bowl. This is another
case where a T-formation team is
favored over a single-Wing outfit.
Evidently, word has reached st.
Louis that the Coast Conference
finally has caught up with the
Big Ten after having taken it on
the chin for three straight years
at Pasadena-two years ago by
1910.
Kentucky is quoted at three
points over Santa Clara in the
Orange Bowl at Miami. while Mis-
souri, and Maryland are listed all
even in the Gator Bowl at Jack
sonville and take your choice. All
four employ the T-formation.
Unless the commissioner knows
something which doesn't show in
the records. Missouri would appear
to rate little better than even
against Maryland. True, the tt
gers from the Midwest dropped
three decisions while Maryland
lost only once, but their schedules
scarcely compared.
Both Lost to Tigers.
1t is somewhat difficult, on the
record, to account for Rice's bet
ter-than-a-touchdown favoritism
over a North Carolina team which
boasts two such stars as Charlie
Justice and Art Welner and which
battled Notre Dame 6-6 for a half.
The Cotton Bowl rivals played
only one mutual opponent, Louisi-
ana State, and both lost to the
Bayou Tigers-Rice by AT and
North Carolina by 1877. Nothing
in that to make bettor go over
board on the Owls.
Oklahoma, which swept to 10
straight victories and was seri-
ously extended only by Texas and
Santa Clara, would appear to rate
its point spread over Louisiana

Home Drills Ended,
Hoyas Won't Practice
Before Reaching Texas

A light workout on the frozen
Hilltop practice field yesterday
marked the end Of Georgetown's
training on home grounds for its
Sun Bowl game with Texas West
ern at Ell Paso January 2. Coach
Bob Margarita originally planned
a scrimmage. but called it off
rather than risk an injury on
the hard turf.
The Hoyas will have vacation
from their grid chores until they
arrive in Texas. Returning De-
cember % from the Christmas
holiday, which begins next We'd
nesday. the team will fly by char
tered plane to Ell Paso. Coaches
said yesterday they plan to hold
practices the Thursday. Friday.
Saturday and Sunday preceding
the Sun Bowl encounter.
New Offense.
Margarita spent the week put
ting in a new offense but won't
reveal what changes have been
made. He hopes it's new enough
to void any scouting reports the
Miners may have had from previ-
Gus Georgetown games.
Not much time has been spent
on defense for two reasons. First.
the scouting report Georgetown
has on Texas Western from a
professional scout isn't too COM
plete, being on only one game.
Then. too. Margarita expects that
Coach Jack Curtis is doing the
same as he is and putting in a
new offense. The Hoyas will rely
of necessity on the several stand
ard defenses the team learned
during the season. They expect
plenty of trouble, too, because the
Miners have averaged 1882 yards
game rushing, highest in the
country.
Margarita has been very secre-
tive about his offense and has
kept his assistant managers busy
chasing apparently innocent spec
tators not only from the practice
field but also away from even the
parking lot behind the Dental
School. 800 yards away. In fact"
said the Hoya coach, I'VE are not
allowing anyone wearing 10
gallon hat west of Wisconsin ave-
nue."
Possible Starters.
1t still is too early to decide on
starting lineup for the game.
but with no injuries it's likely
Margarita for the first time since
early in the season will have his
strongest eleven ready. That
probably would include Bob Mop
pinger and Franny Desmond at
ends. Tom Dolan and Gene Stack
at tackles, Bob Fortunate and
Dick Imbornoni at guards. Bob
Keller at center. Frank Mattingly
at quarterback. Billy Conn and
Dick Barba at halfbacks, and Lou
Miller at fullback.
Also incomplete yet is the list

These exceptions were given
by Lull to his statement:
l. Schools to which children
are transported in buses from
widely separated areas may be
delayed in opening if such ac-
ton will prevent other close
contacts among children. If
these schools are not opened
such action is iustifiable only
when other close contact among
these children is not permitted
in such places as theaterS,
picnics, Fairgrounds, swimming
beaches or Sunday schools.
2. Boarding schools (eXclud-
ing colleges and universitieS)
should delay opening sessions if
an outbreak of poliomyelitiS ex-
lists in the area and if children
are prevented from coming in
to the area from regions where
the disease is not prevalent.
8. Nursery schools may be
continued or closed, depending
on circumstances. Parents, if
both are employed, may prefer
to send their children to a
nursery school. Those who have
facilities at home to limit con-
facts of young children with
other children should be en-
couraged to keep pre-scholars
