AZ Horses Go on Sale
To End Mayer Stable
BY the Associated Press

INGLEWOOD, Calf, Jan. 23.-
Tonight Movie Magnate Louis B.
Mayer will lquidate the last of
what was once one of the worlds
greatest turf empires. Forty two
2-year-olds will go on the block
in public auction at Hollywood
Park.
The first auction. in February,
1947. brought a record-breaking
result when go horses then in
training were auctioned for an
aggregate 1883. .500-an unprece-
dented average Of $25,891 per
thoroughbred.
The second dispersal was al
most as spectacular. when 80
2-year-olds brought $1,033 $50, an
average of $26,493. That was in
January. 1e48.
Four stations and So brood
mares brought $652,650, for an
average of $11,654 in November
of 1948, and in January, 1949, 81
2-year-olds were auctioned for
$685., 900, an average of $12,451.
In addition, Mayer sold the
stallion Alibhai to Kentucky
syndicate in June, 1948, for $780,
600 and another stallion, Beau
Pere, was bought by an Eastern
syndicate In June, 1947, for
100000.
Mayer also sold an extensive
breeding farm at Perris, Calf. :,

League May Ask Bell
To Settle Makeup
OF Two Divisions
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. %
Unless there is a last-minute
change of heart the 13 Ma
tional American Football
League owners will ask Com
missioner Bert Bell to solve
another problem today-the
divisional makeup of the pro
circuit.
The owners gave up in dis
gust Friday on the subject of
dividing the circuit into two
working divisions. They
tabled the discussion and went
ahead . on the draft problem.
Asked if he thought the
owners would turn the divi-
sion problem over to him for
settlement, Bell said the
chances were very good.

play. His fourth pick was Harry
:. Ulinski. recommended by Coach
Bear Bryant Of Kentucky to be "as
good as any center the Redskins
have" This position is one Of
Balls major problems. It was
obvious last season that the team
needed bolstering at center. There
is no assurance that either AL
Demao or Clyde Ehrhardt, the
Tribes two centers, will play foot
ball next season. which would
mean more gray hairs for the
coach.
But the situation isn't hope
less. It is rather bright, as a
matter of fact. The Redskins
squad is beginning to shape up
as the most colorful they have
had since the 1912 championship
team. It will be sounder, too,
but the vast improvement of rival
teams still threatens to keep them
down on the list.
Stewart May Be Sleeper"
The Redskins got a possible
sleeper" in Arthur Stewart, s.
foot-1l12. 197-pound back from
Southeastern State Teachers Of
Oklahoma. The scout who recon-
mended. him to Ball called him
the fastest starting back" this
veteran scout ever had seen.
That. plus Stewards 1877 pounds.
j swayed Ball The Tribe coach
also took Ralph Shoaf of Virginia
on the word ofArt G,iape, Cavalier
!, coach.
Ball, it is interesting to note,
got the College of the Pacific's
1erack passing duo by taking End
II John Rohdes first, then following
{ two rounds later with LeBaron.
> The latter's size. 5-feet-8, 160-
! pounds, scared off the other
, coaches, but to guide him, Ball
had information from Larry Sci
, mering, former Redskin and Le-
j Baron's coach. Seimering pointed
; out that his line was as big as
, pro forwards with a couple of g.
foot-3 tackles ranging from 235
to $50 pounds, and a couple Of
ends scaling 240 to 215 pounds,
and LeBaron wasn't handicapped
in either passing or running.
Rohde weighs about 210.
Another possible sleeper" is
Gene Pepper, Missouri guard and
Balls sixth choice. Maryland
found him to be a rough playmate
in the Gator Bowl game earlier
this month and Ball hopes to build
a rough line, which will not only
fight back but will take the
initiative.
Browns Grit Impresses.
Danny Brown, Villanova end,
was recommended by Ed Berrang.
an end the Redskins got from the
same school. Brown wasn't i'm
pressive when Tribe coaches scout
ed him against Georgetown, but
when it was discovered that he
played the game with a 101 tenn
perature it was agreed he had the
right temperament for pro.
It is believed that Justice may
have decided against a pro grid
career after being assigned to the
Pittsburgh Steelers who feature
the rugged single-wing attack that
finally forced Dudley to quit.
Hope might be better word, for
Ball hopes Justice may be per-

Dudley Is Certain
He'd Boost Gate
| With Redskins
By the Associated Press

LYNCHBURG, Va, Jan. 23.-
Bill Dudley says he would like
playing for the Washington Red
skins"
Dudley was traded by the
Detroit Lions to the Redskins
for Dan Sandifer, former Louisi-
ana State back.
"It's all news to me-" said
Dudley at his home here last
night, "but my contract with
the Lions ended with the past
season"
Dudley said the next move
would be "up to George Mar
shall. owner of the Redskins. I
am sure that my playing in the
Washington lineup would help
boost attendance at home games
there"
The former Virginia ALL
America halfback added, how
ever. that he was mot certain
that will play pro football next
fall"
II have several attractive busi-
ness offers under considera-
tion," he said. "and I may moi
be playing ball"
Dudley said he was in fine
physical condition and that hi
believes he has "at least two OF
three more good seasons left fol
pro football"
Il Dudley said he planned to en-
roll in .Lynchburg college here
at the start of the second semeS-
ter. He will take courses in for
eign languages to complete work
on a bachelor of science degree
in education.

line on the Redskins 1850 hopes.
Ball got off to a good start to-
ward molding a winner in the
annual college player draft which
was completed here last night, and
he may have helped it along by
trading Halfback Don Sandifer to
Detroit for Dudley one-time Vir-
ginla star. He picked Justice of
North Carolina as his 10th choice
solely on the possibility that Choo
Choo might change his mind
about not playing pro ball.
Gets Great Back in Thomas.
The Tribe mentor got one of
1949's great backs in George
Thomas of Oklahoma and landed
a prize. package in Frank Spaniel,
Notre Dame break-aWay runner.
He drafted the much-sought-aft
Hall Haynes of Santa Clara and
came up with little Eddie LeBaron,
colorful passing quarterback of the
undefeated College of the Pacific.
He picked some good boys among
the 27 additional names on the
Redskin list, but he's still looking
for talent.
II Ball doesn't get what he
needs in the draft June of play
ers left over from the Los Angeles
Dons.. Buffalo Bills. Chicago Rock
cts and New York Yankees, he'll
have to beg, borrow or steal them
from rival clubs. Ball today said
he is in trading mood and any,
body with a halfway attractive
proposition can get his ear. The
Sandifer deal was evidence that
both Ball and George Marshall,
Redskin president. are ready to
make changes to improve the
sagging Redskins.
The Redskin coach hoped to get
home as quickly as possible to be-
gin contracting the players drafted,
but had to wait through today, at
least, while club owners consid-
cred playing rules changes pro-
posed by. the coaches and kicked
around the problems of divisional
alignments and 1850 team sched-
ules. The division lineups and
schedules ultimately are expected
to be settled by Commissioner
Bert Bell. With Dick McCann,
Redskin general manager, recup-
Grating from an illness, Ball is
acting as Marshall's aide at the
meeting.
Redskins and Colts Do Well.
Both the Redskins and Balti-
more Colts Jared rather we'll in
the draft. The Colts took Adrian
Burk. highly reg garded Baylor back,
as their first choice, and got Leon
Campbell, rugged Arkansas
halfback on the second go-round
Campbell was astronglya recon-
mended to the Redskins, but Ball
got two of his first three selections
in Thomas and Haynes. Those
two. by the way, were No. and
No. 2 on the New York Giants
list.
Ball was pleased with his third
choice, Lou Karras, 230-pound
Purdue tackle, who proved himself

HuIus Sends Draft
To30-Mun Limit
By the Associated Prsss

3 PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 23.--
Most club owners were ready to
call it quits after Is player selec-
tions in the college draft Of
the National-American Football
League last night, but not
George Halas. owner-coach of
the Chicago Bears. He insisted
on each club taking its full
quota of 80 names.
The final choice, No. 800 on
the list, was that of Dudley
Parker, Baylor back. Halas un-
doubtedly remembered his 30th
draft choice in 1886. He picked
Danny Fortemann. a Colgate
guard who had been passed over
by all other coaches. Fortemann
was all-league center seven
years.
Fortemann also was the sur
geon who operated on Harry
Gilmer, Redskin quarterback,
after Harry injured his leg in
training camp in 1948.

mountain Of muscle obtained by the REDSKINS
over the week end at Philadelphia was Eddie
LIE Baron, pint-sized product of College of
the Pacific, who could be the prize package.
If the 2O-year-old, 165-pounder makes the
grade in an atmosphere where 22O-pounders
are considered fragile, it will come as an upset,
but LIE Baron will have the little men of the
world roofing for him.
There's a suspicion the Redskins bosses
are skeptical of LIE Baron's ability to sift
through the beef trusts he'll be stacked
against. They picked the dinlinutive back 10th
on their list, which would indicate Washing
tons officials weren't in any hurry to claim.

his gun into position to aim.
Ward, who was standing on his
porch, then used his own shot
gun with telling effect and with
good aim. Some of the charge
entered the barrel of McKeithan's
gun, Faircloth said.
