Bulls to Play
In Doytono Bowl
Game on Dec. 80

Bulls Schools football team
has accepted bid to meet Castle
Heights Military Academy OF
Lebanon. Tenn, in the Shrine
Bowl at Daytona Beach, Fla, De-
cember 30.
Bulls ended its regular season
with only two victories against
six setbacks and TT tie with
Longwood-one of the poorest
records in its history. Included
among Bulls losses was a 1918
game against the Georgetown
University freshmen, a $50 de-
feat by Fork Union and a 600
trouncing by Navy plebes.
But school officials point out
Bulls has been forced out of its
own class in order to play.
We've been too successful in
past seasons and can't get COM
petition from high schools in this
area" says Comdr. William F

Bulls was given the invitation
following its great stand against
Aquinas High of Rochester, N. Y.
considered by some as the best
high school team in the country
Aquinas won, 1877.
But we played them on even
terms" says Comdr. Bulls. 1T
was a very close game; closer than

penq State Faces A. u
After 2-PIatoon Plan
Fails in 6. u. Game
By MerrelI Whittlesey

Penn State Basketball Coach
Elmer Gross has heard so much
about this two-platoon system he
thought he'd try it. Well, the ex-
pertinent is over and two platoons
are. out.
It's a safe bet that American
University will meet the N.ttany
Lions fist stringers all the way
tonight in their Uline Arena game,
after Georgetown's 1858 triumph
over the Lions last night In the
Armory.
And along with the two-platoon
system, single court attractions in
the Armory between local and
out-of-town schools should be out.
Only 464 fans, hardly enough to
pay the light bill, turned out.
Penn States tall, veteran team
started against the Hoyas and at
the end Of a fast and interesting
10 minutes Coach Buddy o O'Grady's
Hoyas led, 20-18. At that point
much shorter and greener team
was substituted for States first
stringers.
Penn State Subs Drubbed.
Georgetown started to fatten
it's margin at the expense Of the
second team with some brilliant
ball handling, shooting and zone
shifting. but still the State subs
stayed In and the regulars re-
manned out, nervously hugging
the bench. At halftime George
town was ahead-to stay, at 1924.
At that time Gross said he was
trying the two-platoon system,
but obviously 1t won't work"
The first team came back at the
start Of the second half and i'm
mediately cut the margin to six
points, but Georgetown had a
little too much class even for the
first team and pulled steadily
away.
Coach O'Grady almost made a
mistake himself. Georgetown ran
up q 70-54 lead and O'Grady
tossed his last-line subs in with
just two minutes to go. But Penn
State scored what must have been
the quickest nine points Of the
season to pull up to 70-63 before
the final gun finally sounded.
While Penn State was using two
teams, Coach Stan Casseu of
American University was scouting
and hoping to get a crack at both
teams tonight particularly the
second stringers. Cassell was

New NBA Rule 10 Mar
Game, Feerick Fears;
Caps Whip Bombers
By Bill Fuchs

The new National Basketball
Association rule calling for Jump
balls after successful foul shots in
the final five minutes goes into
effect today and, according to
Cap Coach Bob Feerick. it Is
"really going to louise up the
game"
Feerick, whose team bombarded
the st. Louis Bombers. 1851, last
night at Uline Arena, says the
rule is temporary and can be
voted out by the Board OF Gov
ernors after one month.
Meanwhile, the players. fans
and reporters with headlines to
meet will have to put up with it,
Fans here will get their first dose
of 1t Saturday night, when the
Caps are hosts to the Baltimore
Bullets.
1.-THE final five minutes" says
Feerick, will take 80 minutes.
I'm guessing, of course. but just
check your watch and see. I don't
like it at all. It Is going to slow
down the game too much. I hope
they get enough of it this month
and vote it out"
The purpose of the new rule
Is to eliminate deliberate fouling
in the final minutes when the
score is close. Team A, with
slim lead, for example, would
foul, let team B sink one or two
points from the give-away stripe
and then take the ball out OF
bounds. Now team B can sink
its foul or fouls and regain pos
session by means of the jump
shot.
Caps After Third in Row.
theoretically, the rule has mer-
It. But its practical execution
says Feerick, will make the game
an extended farce.
The Caps. will be shooting fol
their third straight victory
against the Bullets Saturday and
If they succeed it will be their
longest winning streak OF the
season. Baltimore stands ~
games behind Washington, which
is 4 games behind New York and
71a games in back of first-place
Syracuse.
Feerick has become reconciled
to the fact that Syracuse is prac-
tically "home" with the Eastern
Division title because of Its
~Western Division" schedule, but

a trade with the White Sox which
probably would send First Base
man Eddie Robinson and Second
Baseman AL Kozar to Chicago In
exchange for First Baseman Char
ley Kress and Second Baseman
Cass Michaels.
Hanging fire with the Yankees
is a trade which would dispatch
Robinson and an undisclosed
pitcher (not Ray Scarborough to
New York for First Baseman Dick
Kryhoski, Second Baseman George
Stirnweiss, Pitcher Don johnson
and another player.
Griff Prefers Michaels.
Preference for Michaels over
Stirnweiss is believed to be re-
sponsible for Grifhth's hesitation
in closing the New York deal.
Michaels, whose real name is
Casimer Kwiteniewski. batted 1903
last season and is % years old,
while Stirnweiss Is 80. 49,.
The Mats had planned to COM
plete the New York transaction,
then dicker with the Detroit
Tigers, offering Stirnweiss for
Outfielder Dick Wakefield. The
strategy snagged when the Tigers
landed Second Baseman Jerry
Priddy from the st. Louis Browns
for Pitcher Lou Kretlow and cash
estimated at $150,000.
Stirnweiss, who has failed to
approach the form he displayed
In 1914 and 1945 when he batted
.319 and 300, respectively, steal
ing 88 bases in those two seasons
batted .275 last season. He was
supplanted as the Yankees regu-
lar second baseman this year by
Jerry Coleman.
Griffith said he expected to con-
tact Chicago's general manager
Frank Lane, late today. Lane re-
fused the Mats offer yesterday
and brought New York Washing
ton negotiations to a near-climax,
but the Mats boss apparently an
ticipated weakening by Lane to-
day.
Should Lahe remain reluctant
the Mats possibly will complete
the deal with the Yankees today
or tomorrow.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Base-
balls pennant pursuits won't start
for four months, but. the flag
chases already have been affected
by series Of spectacular deals
which climaxed the major league
meetings here.
The Boston Braves, seeking to
erase dissension from their ranks,
and the New York Giants DOM
mated trading in which % major

minor leaguers were tossed into

New York for Outflelder Willard
Marshall, Outfielder-Third Base
man Sid Gordon, Shortstop Buddy
Kerr and Pitcher Sam Webb, a
former Washington sandlotter.
Browns Reap Harvest.
That swap easily overshadowed
other big league trades, but at
tracing attention also was the
Detroit Tigers acquisition of Sec
ond Baseman Jerry Priddy from
the st. Louis Browns for Pitcher
Lou Kret1ow and cash estimated
at $150,00O. Priddy fills a second
base crevice for the Tigers, who

Priddy's sale fattened the poor
Browns, who had obtained $780,

In other deals which assumed
relatively minor proportions, the
Athletics traded Third Baseman
