Virginia Techs Gobblers have
put in an impressive final bid for
a post-season football bowl ap-
pearance, and West Virginia's
Mountaineers, Southern Confer
ence champion, hope to do the
same thing tomorrow afternoon.
Only two more regular-season
games are scheduled for league
teams, both matching Southern
Conference elevenS tomorrow
against clubs of the new Atlantic
Coast Conference as West Vir-
ginia tangles with Virginia at
Charlottesville and The Citadel
meets Clemson.
The Mountaineers would like
to close out against Virginia as
well as VPI did yesterday in
routing Virginia Military Insti-
tute, 46-9, to complete the Cob
blers' first unbeaten campaign
since 1918. Their nine-game
schedule was marred only by a
TT tie with William 81 Mary.
Safety Wins for Indians.
In yesterdays other holiday
activity, William & Mary fin
ished all even at 4-4-2 by edging
Richmond, 20, on a blocked
punt In the final period to ex-
tend to Is years the jinx the
Indians hold over the Spiders.
VMI held a 20 first-period
edge over VPI yesterday and
a repeat performance Of last
years upset appeared to be a
possibility when the Gobblers
struck suddenly on a 69-yard
pass play from Halfback Dickie
Beard to End Tom Petty.
Halfback Dave Ebert went IL
yards for another VPI touch
down before VMI struck back on
Quarterback Dave Woolwine's
3-yard pass to Halfback Dale
Vaughn. But Fullback Don
Divers of Virginia Tech inter-
cepted a VMI pass and ran 40
yards just before intermission
for a 21-9 Tech lead. A scout
from the Gator Bowl in Jackson
vile, Fla, watched the game.
ALI VPI After Half.
It was all VPI after the half
with Divers racing 7 yards with
another intercepted pass, Quar-
terback Bill Cranwell passing to
Petty. Beard running % yards
and Halfback Bobby Seruggs
running l7yards for VPT scores.
Ironically, Richmond lost its
18th straight game to William
& Mary after barely averting
being scored on. The Spiders
halted an Indian drive on their
and Quarterback Tom The
odose went back to punt.

Wichita Wins Title.
Wichita won the Missouri
Valley Conference crown by
beating Tulsa, 1919, to complete

good chance of being invited to
the Gator Bowl as does Virginia
Tech, which completed its first

his job saved is Ed Price of
Texas. The Longhorns were
heavy favorites to win the South

but they had a disastrous sea-
son. They came through yester-
day with a 22-13 victory over
Texas A8SM.
The word was out that If
Texas lost to the Aggies, Price
would get his walking papers.

trade-in value.
You follow up the lead, 60 to
the address given and ask for
the saleman whose name is on
your card. You select your new

purchase. Then the salesman
says before he can completely
close the deal, he must get the
approval of the boss.
Racket Explained.
Now comes the racket. The
boss. usually the dealer himself,
won't approve the trade-in
quoted. In the words of Thomas
c. Roberts, spokesman for the
Association Of Better Business
Bureaus. THE dealer will bit
terly condemn the salesman for
offering so high a trade-in al
lowance. Then he'll argue with
you and finally. he'll offer you a
compromise price. This price
will be much lower than the first
figure mentioned, but you'll settle
either because you've already
signed the contract or because by
this time, you're utterly con-
fused"

Surveys Consumers
Still Indicate Only
Slight Business Drop
By Walter Breede. Ir.
Aasasintad Press Ruainasa Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-The
consumer and his state of mind
went under the microscope this
week as Government planners
and businessmen probed for
clues to the Nations economic
future.
At first glance the consumer
seemed to be doing all right.
Department store sales. meas
ured from January ! on, were
running within 8 per cent Of last
years record clip. A somewhat
more pronounced lag in recent
weeks was attributed to a later
Easter shopping season.
Sales Of new cars were picking
up, although not as fast as deal
ers plagued with heavy inven-
tories might have wished.
Attention focused on the Fed
eral Reserve Boards annual sur
vey Of consumer buying inten-
tons. The survey. which has a
reputation for calling its shots
with uncanny accuracy. indi-
Gated that the average consumer
is more apprehensive about the
future than he was year ago.
and that this apprehension is
likely to be reflected in fewer
purchases Of appliances, furni-
ture, houses and new cars.
Slightly more optimistic than
the consumer poll was a Govern
ment survey of business opinion.
Heads of $500 companies queried
by the Commerce Department
and the Securities & Exchange
Commission leaned toward this
view: That business sales in 1854
will be down only about per
cent from last years rate. BY

such spending totaled more than
$28 billion. This year, said the

per cent. This would be the first
decline since 1919, the survey
noted.

Bond Market Steady
As Borrowing Rates
Tumble During Week
By Arthur Merms
Assoeiuted Press Finaneiol Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 20.-Bor-
rowing rates tumbled this week
but the bond market was not
impressed. Corporate and Gov
eminent issues fiuctuated mar
rowly.
Most Treasury bonds adj
vanced to two-year highs on
Wednesday, when commercial
banks started lowering interest
rates to business borrowers. But
Governments backed down
Thursday and Friday.
Corporates behaved similarly.
Though top-grade railroads and
utilities tended to improve, trad
ing throughout the corporate list
was highly selective. There were
nearly as many losers as gamers.
To a casual observer, this
might seem surprising. Banks
dropped their prime" loan rate
from 3A to 3 per cent with pro-
portionate decreases for lesser
known borrowers. This was the
first such reduction in 10 years.
The banks action was quickly
followed by a " per cent de-
crease in finance company COM
mercial paper rates and 70
per cent slice on bankers &C
ceptance yields. These small
percentage declines add up to
savings of millions of dollars to
borrowers. Also. under ordinary
circumstances. they would cause
bond prices to rise with conse-
quent downward adjustment of
bond yields.
The Treasury,s recently is
sued 21as Of 1851 rose 5/32 this
week at 101 22/32 bid. Victory
Loan 2las finished up 2/32 at
80 30/32 bid but the 3O-year
3As slipped 4i32 at 108 1892
bid.
The foreign bond department
took on a distinctly German ap-
pearance this week when the
New York Stock Exchange re-
admitted % West German mu-
nicipal and corporate issues to
trading. Eight Reich bonds
were already changing hands on
the big board" and many others
are expected to get similar clear
ance soon.
German dollar bonds were in
strong demand all week. Jap
anese and Brazilian liens also
tended to improve while Greek
and Yugoslav bonds charged
forward and back, to little net
result. Chinese Imperial SIS
climbed several points.
