Southern Group
To Discuss Bowl
Issue Tomorrow
West Virginia Record
Revives Old Dispute
Within Conference

The special committee of the
Southern Conference, charged
with making a recommendation
on whether the conferences ban
on football bowls should be con-
tinued or dropped, will meet to-
morrow at Roanoke, Va, to take
up the subject.
West Virginia's undefeated
record and it's placing among
the Nations first 10 football
teams, with the likelihood that
it will get a bowl bid, again has
raised the bowl question in the
conference.
West Virginia. with a two-year
record of IL straight victories
the longest in the country-and
already past its biggest 1853
hurdles, is among the teams be-
ing considered for an invitation
to the Sugar Bowl in New Or
leans, according to Irwin Poche,
president of the group sponsor
ing that game. The Cotton
Bowl at Dallas also is known to
have the Mountaineers on their
list of possibilities.
Wants Position Cleared.
Max harrington, director of
mems activities at George Wash
ington University and president
OF the Southern Conference, said
that West Virginia has made no
representation to the conference
about having the bowl ban lifted.
He said, however, that it was
best to have the conferences
present position clearly outlined
IN case an invitation comes up,
and that in any case the special
committee should be busy with
its study in order to have rec
ommendation ready for the reg
ular meeting in December.
The ban on football bowls.
which resulted in Maryland's S
suspension from conference foot
ball competition for a year after
it went to the Sugar Bowl in
1852, is regarded as one of the
reasons seven of the stronger
schools in the conference with
drew to form the Atlantic Coast
Conference. West Virginia, nc-
regarded as greatly interested in
taking part in a bowl game, was
one OF the schools voting for
suspension of the Terrapins.
Schools Stand Unknown.
Nothing official has come from
the school as to whether it would
go to a bowl game if the confer
ence refused permission, but one
man close to the athletic staff
has been quoted as indicating
the team would go, because a
chance like that happens only
once in a lifetime"
On the other hand, DR.. Irwin
Stewart, president of the univer-
Sity, has said West Virginia will
abide by the conference decision.
Heading the Southern Con-
ference Committee ON Post
Season Activities, which includes
football bowl games, is D. C.
McAlister, faculty representative
of The Citadel. Other members
are Walter Newman, president
of Virginia Tech: John McKenna
of Virginia Military, president
of the Southern Conference
Coaches Association: Bo Sher-
man, football coach at George
Washington, and Legs Hawley,

ginia.

Predicted Fireworks Fizzle
Out In Russell-Monroe Deal
BY GENE HANDsAKER
tFor Bob Thomas

HOLLYWOOD R-Predictions of
fireworks when Jane Russell and
Marilyn Monroe squared off to act
In the same picture have fizzled.
Jane even has become Marilyn's
sisterly adviser in matters of love.
Marilyn didn't seek James coun-
sci. Miss Russell says she volun-
teered to Miss Monroe the view
that it's a good idea for an actress
to marry a man in another field,
like sports.
Jane is married to retired foot
ball star Bob Waterfield Marilyn
says she and retired baseball star
Joe Dimaggio are "good friends. "
James reasoning goes like this:
Its great to have somebody
like that to go home to. If you
have blown-up ideas about your
self, he talks you out of them in a
hurry. If you sound unhappy with
your job, he tells you to quit.
Joe and Robert calls
her husband Robert-"are sensible
moneywise. Marilyn iSn't, and I've
never been. That's another opposite
quality, which is great. Then you
have whole"
Jane said she and her husband
s'haye healthy disregard for each
others profession. When we dc
something in common, that's when
the beefS start. This way everybody
minds his own business"
The forecasts of jealous rivalry
between glamor champs Monroe
and Russell were perhaps reason
able. Scene stealing and all that.
A Paramount producer told Jane
when she set out for goth Century
Fox and Gentlemen Prefe +
Blondes: "Shake hands with Mar
ilyn, flip a coin to see who'll make
the first catty crack, then let the
fur fly"
Jane says some gossip-lovers
have urged her, "Please, couldn't
you and Marilyn have just a small
beef? And let me be the first to
hear about it,"
But after two months work on
the picture, Jane calls Marilyn "a
real nice, sweet kid. She works a
lot harder than ! do" AS for scene
stealing: ''In all the years I've
been in pictures, / have NOT run
into that"
Marilyn expresses equal esteem
for Jane and calls her ga good
actress in the kind of thing she
likes to do" Miss Monroe prefers
more serious vehicles for herself.

Crystal Balls
In Washington
Sell Cheaply
Pretty Easy To Tell

Cazer When He
Goes Shopping
BY ROBERT {. cEIcER

WASHINGTON R-You can buy
a crystal ball in Washington fairly
cheap just now.
cts slightly related to the polit-
ical situation, the change from
Democrats to Republicans" says
Al Cohen, manager of AIS Magic
Shop. Despite soaring qwholesale
crystal prices, Al is holding the
line on retail prices. even
trimming them a bit.
Business was good under the
Democrats" he explains. 81 want
to keep it that way. / figure it's a
good idea to let the Republicans
know, right off the bat, that AIS
shop sells crystal balls reasonably.
When they get around to buying
them they'll know where to come"
AL has two models on sale. One,
about eight inches around, sells for
$5.96. The other is about ga inches
around and is $3.50.
The small one is pure crystal,
al says. The other is blown glass,
hollow like a Christmas tree orna-
ment, and silvered on the inside.
"It's pretty easy to tell an
amateur crystal gazer from pro-
fessional gazer when they're
shopping for crystal ball." AL
says. Amateurs go for the large,
shiny one. The professionals want
this smaller one of real crystal.
'The trouble is that there ap-
parently aren't any expert makers
Of real crystal balls in the United
States, at least none that / know
about.
when the Iron Curtain came
down around Czechoslovakia it
dried up the supply of good crystal
balls in free nations. Maybe they
now need all they can manufac-
ture behind the Iron Curtain to
keep up with the demand at home.
At any rate I've only got one left.
Before ! got the last shipment the
price had gone up from $3.50 to
$3.50. When this one is gone /
don't know where I'll get more.
''This large, shiny. hollow ball is
American-made, but the profes-
SIGNALS don't like it."
Crystal gazers say everything
depends upon the quality of the
ball. The other day a woman re-
turned one of the blown glass balls
to AL and complained that it con-
tanned depressing ghosts and
images. She insisted upon ex-
changing it for one that had been
packaged tightly, never exposed to
the light of day, and never had a
price tag written upon or attached
to it.
"A professional gazer had told
her that If a crystal ball has been
exposed to daylight and the images
Of many people things always turn
out bad.
"Then she confided that she
plays the numbers game and gazed
in crystal balls for visions of num-
bers to put money on.
"The numbers she saw in this
ball seemed to be sliihtly confused
with ghost numbers in the back
ground She thought the ball must
have had a price tag on it and
that the numbers on the tag had

Seagrave didn't answer. His weakness was
