Illinois Is I'd Favorite
Tomorrow in Big Ten
Opener With Badgers
- the Associaied Press

CHAMPAIGN. Ill. Oct. s.
Illinois and Wisconsin meet to-
morrow in the first showdown Of
the Big Ten football season and a
Nationwide television audience
will sit in.
The winner probably will move
into contention as the team to
beat for the Western Conference
crown. Both Ivy Williamson's
Badgers and Ray Eliot's nlini rate,
along with Ohio State, as cham
pionship favorites at this stage.
The game will be seen on TV
screens in 36 cities from coast to
coast. It will be carried by the
NBC network. A crowd of $1,000
was expected at Memorial Sta
dium.
Qn Washington, the game
will be seen over WNBW, start
ing at 3 pm. or after the World
Series game ends)
Illinois is the betting tavorlte
by s or 7 points.
Eliot apparently has come up
with one Of his best offensive
combinations in years.
The big surprise of the Illini
backfield has been Bill Tate,
fast 190-pounder In the fullback
slot.
A not-too-big, but nonetheless
strong, offensive line makes the
running and passing attacks
simple.
Defensively, the nlini had to
rely last week on their linebackers
as the defensive line admittedly is
weak.
The Badgers will have an excel
lent chance to upset Illinois if
their own fine backfleld, headed
by Harland Carl, can find and ex-
plot the weak spots in the Illini
line.
The real Wisconsin strength,
however, probably lies in a rugged
defensive line.

/ Two shots back at 219 were Paul

latter thanks to hole-in-one on
the 167-yard 18th hole.
Graham Slight Favorite.
Graham, the 1948 champion,
viii be playing a course he played
hundreds of times when he was a

force. and rules a slight favorite
today. He had rounds OF "a at
East Potomac. Is at Dupont and
81, even par, at Anacostia. VIII
liams has been 75-75-67.
The tournament, being played
over four courses. for the first
time, is a highly interesting one.
AS expected. the Fort Dupont
course was the decisive round as
there four time champion Andy
Oliveri took 80 whacks and Fred
Lukat. the defending champion,
went to 83. They are at 223 with
Ted King and Paul Green, but
that's six shots back.
Another odd twist of the tour
nament is that the daily prize for
low medal has been marked by
three ties. yet no player has
figured twice. At East Potomac IL
was Lukat and Nicholson with
TBS: at Dupont. Graham and
Williams with 75s. and yesterday
Leonard Bridget. Ray Mofitt and
Robin Ehlert tied with 1-under-

Again we caution hunters to be
extremely careful with fire. The
whole countryside is extremely
dry, and carelessly thrown
lighted cigar, cigarette or hot pipe
ashes can wreak irreparable dam
age.
The situation with regard to
woodcock is cloudy. In view of
the prolonged dry spell, we'd look
for them in swampy ground and
along creek and stream bottom
land. A good dog is a great help
in hunting the timberdoodles.

Many of them are mere trickles

the water is very clear indeed in

exercise the same caution you

Murphy and Matthews
Bid for Shot al Maxim
In Garden Tonight
BY The Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. Irish
Bobby Murphy and Harry Mat
thews, a pair of slugging light
heaYyweights with imposin g
knockout records, clash tonight
/ in a Madison Square Garden 10
rounder that may earn the victor
a title shot with Champion Joe
Maxim.
Murphy, a southpaw who has
been betting out his rivals in jig
time around here for the last six
months, is 13-to-10 favorite.
Matthews, an excl from Seat
tie, is making his New York debut.
Little is known about him here
except for an amazing record that
shows no losses since 1943. He
has won SO and fought two draws
in that time.
His last II fights have been un-
der the wing of Manager Jack
Hurley. Matthews won them all,
knocking out IA of his foes.
A solidly built athlete, he has
shown well in workouts here.
(The bout will be televised
over Station WNBW, channel
4, at 10 p.m)
Together the two West Coast
ex-servicemen have chalked up
105 knockouts in 145 bouts. Since
the red-thatched Murphy likes to
slug. and Matthews has expressed
a liking for action, the scrap
should be fast and furious.
Irish Bobby has knocked out
his last 13 OPPONENTS and has
stopped % of his last "a. In
between he was flattened himself
by Clarence Henry, sixth-ranking
heavy from Los Angles.
The eX-gob likes to rip right in
curl his right hand around his
foes neck, and belt away.

test to the New York commission
if Murphy holds Matthews.

RALEIGH, N. c., Mar. 2.-North
Carolina State, which has eight
men on it's squad taller than Mary
lands tallest-not to mention q
seasons average of 79 points per
game-rules a strong favorite over
the Terps in their meeting tonight
in the semiflnal round of the
Southern Conference basketball
tournament. r...s
But despite the factors favoring
the Wolfpack seeking a fifth
straight conference title, there
should be no scoring such as last
night when North Carolina State
broke the tournament record with
SO points against South Carolina,
and then watched the mark fall
to William and Mary with 88
points against West Virginia.
Maryland, a 50-48 victor over
Clemson in the first of the four
games on opening day, has no
alternative than to continue its
deliberate style tonight. The Terps
meet North Carolina State, which
routed South Carolina. 1888, at
1870. The other semifinal is be-
tween William and Mary, 1857
victor over the Mountaineers, and
Duke, which edged VPI, 64-61.
Terps Can't Waste Shots.
Coach Bud Millikan, who
brought Maryland past the first
round of the tournament for the
first time since 1910, plans his
most deliberate game of the sea-
son against State. and that's not
giving away any secret.
Maryland must shoot to score,
for when the Terps miss the big
State players are going to get the
rebounds.
Maryland has won 16 games this
season, averaging just little more
than SO points per game. N. c.
State has won 26. averaging 79
points. State has ample reserves
through its 18th man. The Terps
brought only 10 and used eight in
a game they won by two points.

Today on Gaze Scandal

CHICAGO, Mar. o (P).-The
National Collegiate Athletic Asso-

body, today is expected to make a
statement on gambling and the
basketball scandal in New York.
The NCAA, after discussing the
Elk" expose in opening a three
day session yesterday, announced
through President Hugh C. Willett
of Southern California that such
a statement was planned.
Such discussions would involve
Madison Square Garden. NCAA
withdrawal from the Garden of its
Eastern basketball divisional meets
March 20 and March % is possible.
Can Change Tourney Site.
The NCAA Council has au-
thority to change the location of
it's tournament games. But aside
from that, it does not have the
power to dictate where colleges
may play when not in NCAA COM
petition.
A set Of principles for guild
ance" may be mapped by the
NCAA. Such principles" could
include the recommendation tina:
member teams refuse to play in
New York or on floors not directly
controlled by the home team.
Big Seven Restricts Games.
Last night in Kansas City, the
Big Seven Conference Faculty
Committee instructed it's mem
bers to restrict teams to home
grounds of one of the schools in
volved. Off-campus competition
can be scheduled if under super
vision of one of the competing
schools, the Big Seven Conference,
the AAU, the NCAA or the Olym-
pic Trials Committee.
The Big Ten has had a similar
rule pertaining to basketball
games for more than Is years,
limiting competition to sites under
collegiate or NCAA control, on off =
campus floors which have been
considered a colleges home court
for five years. Such a rule auto
matically bars Big Ten basket
ball teams from Madison Square
Garden unless in NCAA-sanc-

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 2.-The
$4,000 separating Mickey Vernon
and the Mats bosses may get the
Washington club off on the wrong
foot in exhibition games starting
q week from tomorrow.
Unless the veteran first base
man signs in the next few days,
he won't be in shape to play early
games and his understudy, Sam
Mele. is nursing sore arm.
Mickey is available for addi-
tional dickering. being present at
the squads workouts every day,
but he isn't allowed to participate
in the drills. President Clark
Griffith and Vice President Calvin
Griffith may break the conversa-
tional lull at any moment, but
currently Mickey is being per-
mitted to soak up the sun in
silence.
The Mats have a promising first
base prospect in Fred Taylor, who
came off Ohio States campus to
bat 1868 with Chattanooga last
season, but even Griff admits
Taylor isn't talented enough to
take over Vernon's job yet.
HE has lot to learn about
fielding" Griff confesses. He might
add that Taylor's batting also
leaves something to be desired.
Irv Noren, who was tested at
nrst base last season, wasn't ade-
uuate. Besides, Manager Bucky
Harris is reluctant to risk injury
10 his best outfielder at an un-
familiar position.
Vernon is seeking $4,000, the
same salary he drew last year,
while Griffith is offering $21 900.
Neither is making a move toward
settlement.
Mickey can forget the possibility
sf being traded, as Griffith insists
that mo player will ever trade
himself off my club
He'll sign with me or he won't
play ball." the Mats boss says.
No fine will be levied on Vernon
Inless he persists in holding out
beyond opening day. "If it goes
hat far" Griffith said, she
wouldn't draw any salary even
lfter signing until he convinces
Harris he's ready to play"
