Bears Making
Great Comeback
By the Associated Press
What a difference twelve months, a few scouting trips
and some service discharges can make!
Last year Baylor’s Bears finished the Southwest confer-
ence basketball campaign without a sign of a victory in 18
games The puny Bruins averaged a little better than 27
points per contest.
Today you find them leading the field for the season
and in a good position to win the championship They knocked
over favored Arkansas 40-28 last week to split the series with
the veteran Razorbacks and
throw the conference race in-

Rice, which also had been un-

and lost to Texas Christian 53-49.
The standing now shows Arkansas

have won one out of two in both

Baylor presents a much differ-

NEW YORK. Jan 1.—(P)
Three other professional football
loops have thrown in with the
National league in its war against
the young All-America conference,
and regardless of how the fight
comes out, it now is certain that
the play-for-pay game is going to
be organized on a nation-wide bas-
is. much after baseball's pattern.
With the Pacific Coast league,
| Dixie league and American asso-
ciation already back of the Na^
tional in this "national association’
approved by the magnates over
the week-end, and the currently-
building Texas league asking for
information on it, the entire or-
ganization apparently is in the bat-
tle against the All-America.
What’s more the All-America
now finds itself opposed in all key
cities as a result of the switch Sat-
urday night by the National league
champion Cleveland Rams to Los
Angeles, where the new loop was
previously unopposed by the older
circuit. Decision by Ram Owner
Danny Reeves to move his title-
holders put the National square-
ly against the All-America in New
York. Chicago and the California
city— the three top "gate" towns
in the country—in the now open
and all-out war for pro grid power.
And as the national’s clubowners
headed into the stretch of their an-
nual meeting with schedule kinks
to be ironed out and player draft
to be held, it was obvious the mo-
guls were taking the battle a lot
more seriously than they were
when thev first got together last
week—and felt they were a lot
better prepared for the brawl.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14—(NEA)-
Judge Landis really kicked the
Phillies upstairs when he gave Bill
Cox the boot for betting on them.
Commissioner Landis no doubt fig-
ured there was no place in baseball
for anybody crazy enough to wag-
er on the Phils.
Anyway, in stepped Robert
Ruliph Morgan Carpenter, Jr.,
and now comes word that the
young scion of the Wilmington
du Ponts intends to build the most
modern of parks for the Philadel-
phia Nationals. It will accommo-
date more than 60.000. Owner Car-
penter has not yet been discharg-
ed from the Army, but a site is
being sought and work will start as
quickly as materials for construc-
tion are available

tiquated. It holds no more than

lease on old Sportsman's Park still
has three years to run, but Sam

It's about time the major league
clubs did something about their
parka.
For accommodations, all of them
have trailed the Cubs and Tigers.
While some of the tweedy set
and the perpetual undergraduates
may bemoan the intrusions of the
new pro football league, the play-
ers are getting a well-deserved

College football fans, already pop-

a 1946 season of even more raz-

The National League has beta
making capital of its monopoly.
Players have been working for
from $100 to $300 a game which
gives them a yearly stipend of
from $1000 to $3000. In compari-

some not so major-this is peanut

They have traditionally under-
sold their big names so that they
could keep them in line when con-
tract negotiations took place. The
big college star was invariably

They spoke in sneering fashion
of All America athletes, pointed
out with unabashed insistenc*
that these men “might not make
the grade in our loop.” They
glorified the men from the email
schools—George Musso. Bulldog
Turner and the like — as typical
professional stars They did not
add that these men also came very
cheap, having not even the ephe
moral fame of college to use as o
bargaining point.
