The one sure think is that it
might be you. OF course, the odds
are in your favor. The chances
on any one day are about 1885,

ces against being manned aren't
that high.
If you are the unlucky 1,000,-

that you will die in an accident
that could have been avoided.
They will cart you, bleeding, to
a morgue. where you will lie un-

identify you. There will probably
be pictures in the papers from
coast to coast of how you looked
alive, and how you looked dead

passing and to point out against
the old moral, Its Better to be

You will be a brief celebrity
for sure-a celebrated corpse for

This kind of fame, however, is
hardly rewarding. You will have

|N Helpful 10 Football,
Makers Of Sets Saw In
Hitting NCAA Policy
aBy the Associated Press

Radio and television set makers
say this years curb on televised
college football games was a mis-
take and disclosed they are
launching drive to give viewers
a wider choice in the future.
Manufacturers said yesterday
they are trying to get the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton, which now has a tight con-
troll on televised football, to
change its 1851 experimental pol
icy of offering about one game a
week.
NCAA has maintained television
threatens to kill off college foot
ball, particularly in the smaller
schools. 1t reasons fans will stay
home to watch big games on TV
rather than attend a local game.
Manufacturers say this reason
ing is all wrong, and cite expert
ences in both baseball and foot
ball to back up their arguments.
"The fallacy of the NCAA policy
may be noted in the fact that
college football has enjoyed phe-
nomenal progress with the devel-
opment of television," they said
in a statement.
THE dollar income of college
football in 1850 (paid admissions)
for example, was we'll above the
1947 peak year of income for most
sports. This is important to note
because through 1850 college foot
ball was the most widely televised
of all sports" fa ,
The NCAA policy of allowing
the telecast of one game in a
certain area-almost always a
game far from the city in which
it is televised-was an experiment
conducted this year. From its
findings, it plans to work up a
policy for the future.
Yesterdays action by the manu-
facturers, obviously interested in
giving set owners as many tele-
vised sports events as possible, was
in the form Of a 12-poiat program
worked up by the industry's sports
committee.
One of the proposals in effect
urged that the decision to tele-
wise a game be left up to individ-
uals, clubs or institutions.

Virginia Spurns Bowl Chances
After Best Season in q Decade
By Brion Bell, Jr.

+ Virginia has taken itself out of
the bowl picture, a factor which
to some observers. including
Athletic Director Gus Tebell,
Coach Art Guepe and. of course,
the players, is unfortunate.
For this. the finest Virginia
team since 1941. just missed
getting bid to the Cotton Bowl.
Cotton Bowl officials called Tebell
a week ago yesterday and asked
him if Virginia would accept an
invitation. They seemed in no
hurry to get the answer, so
Tebell said he would hold an
Athletic Committee meeting Fri
day and give them a tentative
decision. However. last Monday
the officials called Tebell again
and asked if he could give them
an answer within five hours, but
on such short notice. Tebell had
to say no. Later that same day,
Kentucky got the bid.
Virginia, loser only to Wash
fngton and Lee. was still very
much in the bowl picture until
yesterday. when Tebell announced,
after a conference with President
Colgate Darden. that Virginia had
not received bid and would
turn down any offered.
"Mr. Darden wasn't at all
anxious for our team to go to.
a BOWL Tebell said. He added
that Darden's reluctance was
shared by most members of the
Board of Visitors who had been
polled informally over the week
end.
Many observers expected the
Cavaliers to receive an invitationI
to the Orange Bowl, but Tebell
was under the impression that the
Miami game officials were looking
for a Southwest team to oppose
Georgia Tech. which already has
accepted one OF the berths. Tebell
called an Orange Bowl official
after Virginia's 46-0 rout of VIII
liam and Mary Saturday and was
told that Virginia would be con-
sidered along with IL other teams,
including Holy Cross and four
Southwest teams.
They want Baylor" said Guepe

versation. They're strong on

the Sugar Bowl contest even as
spectator because he couldn't
honestly help either side.
Although his K-Staters beat
only Missouri and tied Nebraska.
Meek said that was better than
they were expected to do. Every
body seemed satisfied, particu-
larly with the squads spirit, the
best at Kansas State in years.
Meek also was careful to point
out that he played a pretty good

Braves Official Hopes
Marion Will Accept
Offer Of Job Today
BY the Associoted Press

BOSTON, Nov. 26.-John Quinn,
general manager of the Boston
Braves. confirmed last night the
club has made an offer to Marty
Marion, former ST. Louis Cardinals
manager, and that an answer is
expected today.
Quinn said he contacted Marion
by telephone after Tommy Holmes,
Braves manager. told him he
wanted the lanky shortstop for
Boston'S next campaign.
The Boston general manager
added that Marion told him he'd
received two other substantial
offers, one from the st. Louis
Browns, but considered the Boston
one very good"
Browns Eager to Get Him.
Marion and Bill Veeck, Browns
owner, met in a St. Louis night
club last night to discuss Weeks
otter OF a shortstop job to Marty.
Earlier Veeck talked with Marion
at Weeks hotel suite. Veeck said
after the meeting:
1--WE haven't signed Marty as
yet. We're going to let Marty
make up his mind. Sure, we'd
like to have him come to us.
That's up to Marty"
The recently ousted Cardinal
manager commented in turn:
You know. it's the first time
in my baseball career I've been in
a position where people have been
dickering for my services. From
now on no more brain work for
me. I'm going to get into playing
shape"
Doesn't Want to Manage Again.
Marion, who will be "a Decem-
Der /, said he hoped he could play
because There's fun in it. There's
no fun managing. I've done a lot
OF hunting this fall, walking Is
miles or so a day when I'm out,
and my right knee does not bother
me. It's well.
The doctors say that my back,
which has given me trouble for
years, always will give me some
trouble off and on. They believe,
however, that if l exercise steadily
to strengthen my back, probably
could return as player, so long
as l take a weeks rest regularly,
say after playing for a month"
