Orange BowlAgreement Ends Scramble
By BEN FUNK

MIAMI, Fla. a - November
wild scramble for bowl football
teams was rapidly becoming a
thing Of the past today as the
Orange Bowl entered into q pact
with the Big Seven and Atlantic
Coast conferences to supply its
teams for the next two years.
Oklahoma and Maryland are
strong favorites to dominate the
two leagues and meet here New
Years Day in the first game un-
der the agreement.
The Orange Bowl action, long
expected, leaves only three major
bowl berths open for competitive
bidding-two in the Sugar Bowl at
New Orleans and one in the Cotton
Bowl at Dallas.
Only the Sugar Bowl still selects
both teams at random. The Cot
ton Bowl picks one at large to
meet the Southwest Conference
champion. The Rose Bowl is a
closed corporation, matching teams
from the Big Ten and Pacific
Coast conferences.
The field from which the Sugar
and Cotton bowls can choose was
severely restricted by the Orange
Bowls success in tieing up the
Big Seven and Atlantic Coast
groups.
Among the major conferences,
only the Southeastern still is wide
open for bowl bids. The Southwest
Conference runner-up is available
and after that the choice is limited
to the independents. The No. 1 in
dependent, Notre Dame. last week
squelched reports that 1t might
reverse a long-standing policy
against postseason games and take
a Sugar Bowl bid.
Eight months Of negotiations for
the Orange Bowl pact were COM
pleted in Kansas City yesterday
when faculty representatives of the
Big Seven voted in favor it. The
Atlantic Coast group already had,
voiced its approval.
Orange Bowl President w. Bruce
Macintosh said there still are some
details to be worked out, includ-
ing whether the conferences win
allow the same teams to play In
the bowl two years in a row. How
ever, Executive Secretary Reaves
E. Peters of the Big Seven said
that conference definitely would not
let its champion play in the bowl
on successive years.
Macintosh said the Orange Bowl
would "accept the selection of each
conference" for the game.
Under the agreement, each team
has been guaranteed $110,0O forI
the 1854 game and SIP, 900 for the
1855 contest.

'MinorLeagues
May Be Given

By HAROLD v. RATLiEF

DALLAS Rt-Texas League club
owner Dick Burnett said today he
thought great progress had been
made toward getting changes in
the baseball laws that viii "give
the minor leagues chance to sur
vive."
Burnett, owner of the Dallas
club, called a meeting attended
over the, weekend by presidents
and representatives Of q minor
leagues and representatives of six
major league clubs.
The minor leaguers approved
legislation that would give them
a greater voice in the framing of
baseball laws, bring about an un-
restricted draft, pay the players
part of their purchase or draft
price, allow them to waive the
draft, raise the price Of the draft
for the lower minors (class B down
to d., return restrictions to radio
broadcasts and telecasts of major
league games in minor league ter
ritory and create a revised minor
league agreement.
These amendments are to be
submitted to the National Baseball
Convention in Atlanta Nov. 3O-Dec.
3, and Burnett said he was con-
fident Of their being accepted by
major leagues.
The Dallas baseball leader put
out s., 500 to bring the minor league
representatives here but he said
ne thought it was money well
spent. eff we can get one thing
done for baseball it viii be worth
WHILE" he told the meeting.
Burnett figured several of the
items would help baseball in its
tight to retain the reserve clause,
a matter now in the Supreme
Court. The unrestricted draft,
which Burnett also said would end
chain baseball, and payment Of
part of the sales price-they set
1t at 10 per cent-to the players
were cited as the points that would
help the game in seeking to retain
the reserve clause. This law of
baseball gives club sole owner
ship of player who has signed
q contract with It and he must
either play with that club or not
play at all.
"Many are down on baseball be-
cause they have the idea that its
contracts place players in servi.
tude," Prentice Wilson, Burnett's
attorney who framed the legisla-
ton, said. Sewing the player part
of his sales or draft price and an
unrestricted draft that gives him
the chance to advance in his pro.
fession should remove that preju-
dice"

Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK R-The most heart.
rending figure in the land as the
cold winter days approach is the
football expert. He has a faraway
look in his .eyeS-that of a man
who has seen his life work dis
rupted and plumb ruined by a will
full little group of rule changers.
Under the current chaotic con-
ditions he can have only the fog
giest idea of who will lick whom
on any football Saturday. He can
only guess-and hope-and he
knows he is going to begin hear
ing from his readers by the basket
full, if he hasn't already.
The unfairness of it all is what
rankles. When they slugged the
two-platoon system and went back
to what one prominent coach
called ''horse and buggy football"
practically everybody even remote
ly connected with the game was
Ipolled on the probable effect of
the change. Coaches, educators
and even players were asked their
opinions.
But did anyone consult the man
whose career was to be leopard
lied? If so, it escaped notice. When
an Illinois trounceS an Ohio State
41-20, to whom can he appeal?
His plight, we feel, is strikingly
set forth in this dignified sum-up
of the past weekend:
"The experiments and uncer.
tainties. forced on two-platoon
coaches this year are causing
some weird returns" There's path
os in every word.
The new Baltimore Orioles aren't
worried about their first season
in the American League. They ex-
pect to sell around $500, 1000 worth
lof tickets by opening day. But
they realize they will face trouble
the second year unless they have
a greatly improved club, plus some
color, and that was why they made
their unsuccessful bid for Frank
Lane, whose lavish trading pulled
the Chicago White Sex out of the
doldrums.
Actually, some of the members
OF the Baltimore group would have
favored bringing Bill Veeck along
with his st. Louis Browns fran.
chise, at least for a season or two,
because they realize they need
such go-getter and Snowman to
tide them over during the rebuild
ing process. They know that the
attendance record Veeck set at
Cleveland in 194S still stands.
"But we can't sign him." one
of them said, because the group
of owners who hate him got it
down in writing that we couldn't
before they agreed to let us have
the franchise"
When a man makes enemies in
the American League, by golly,
he's got 'em.
