Moss was a star of Tulsa university's Orange Bowl team of two aea*ona ago and then entered the army.

The 21 year old freshman who played war-tfcne foot trail at Great latkes naval training station, wasn't considered talented enough to be Included on the travelling squad that was taken to the Wisconsin game five weeks ago. The Bucks lost that one 20 to 7 and when Ohio was tied 14 to 14 by Purdue the next week a thorough overhauling was made. Bixler's big player change was to make Spencer the first string quarterback. The 195 pAund young Her immediately lifted the Bucks out of the doldrums and sparker) them to successive triumphs over Minnesota, Northwestern and Pittaburgh.

Big Nine Vote 7 To 2 For Bow! Classic Chicago. .Nov. 12 — (UP) — The future pattern of Rose Bowl competition was in the hands of ihc Pacific coast conference today after the Western conference's official vote In favor of a five year agreement for play in the Pasadena New Year's day game was cast. The Western c-mference passed the Hose Howl proposal by a 7 to--2 vote. Northwestern was the last milool to vote and Its ballot was cast yesterday in favor of the game. The only negative votes were from Illinois and Minnesota. Professor Frank E. Hlchart of Illinois, chairman of the Big Nine's faculty committee, Is expected to release an official announcement on the passage within the next day or two. An official letter outlining the Western conference's stand and the terms of Its Hose Bowl proposal was reported enroute to the chairman of lhe Pacific coast conference's faculty committee. Upon receipt by the coast officials, a joint announcement Is expected The next step In the negotiations then will be a meeting of the faculty of the two collegiate circuits. Commissioner Kenneth L. Wilton ot the Big Nine outlined this step two weeks ago and said it was designed to accelerate acceptance of the agreement so that the relations could be started with the forthcoming New Year's day game. u A date and site of the faculty group meeting may be set before the end of the week. The Big Nine is desirous of completing all jflanx if possible within the next two weeks inasmuch a* the conference schedule will be completed with games of November 21 While the team winning the Big Nine championship will not con tinue practice in preparation for the Bowl game, it would help if forma! notice of the Bowl bid covid be given the team immediately i|pon completion of the conference race. Throughout the Big Nine's two months balloting on the Rose Bowl issue, the coast conference has maintained a "say nothing policy." A Big Nine spokesman emphasised they had "no definite commitment" the proposal would be accepted. However, others expressed the belief the Western conference would never have proceeded with the formal vote if not assured in advance of coast acceptance. The Rig Nine's formal action came uiinultaneously with a flurry of Rose Bowl rumors which had either Army or the University of Georgia having the “inside track" for the post season bid. o— CLASSIC LEAGUE The West End Restaurant outfit went back into first place by one point by winning two and total from Smith Insurance, with Lankenau furnishing a 201 game and Appelman 590 on a 203 final game. Harry Tope hanged out 212 and 205 and Pete Bleeke snagged a 209 for the losers. Swearingen Dairy used the broom on the C. V. Beer squad for I points, with Hoagland gathering In a 212 and F. Ahr 213. while Mies bagged the only 600 series of the evening with a 602 on a 215 game In the middle. The Decatur Super Service team thought that Christmas came a litge when they were handed 3 points by L'hler’s Restaurant on two games and total. Buuck had a 202 and Fatso Boenker came up with a 201 game, while 0. Schults snagged a 204 game. Ehler's outfit couldn’t carry a thing and didn't the numbers, and they were prohave a thing on the ball except bably pretty well worn off. it wax that bad. This series is the worst they have ever rolled, a 2542 series with a 772 for a closer. Lem Ehler is probably looking for a spot in the Merchant league for his outfit if they come up with another night like this one. The line up for the Decatur Super Service outfit has been Capt.

One of the first teams to represent DIIS was also one of the finest, he said, with the 1911-12 aggrega lion I sing only two games Dan Tyndall and Joe McConnell started with this team. The 1922 five was also a good one. boasting such stars as Glenn Hill. laiwreuce Linn, Victor Baltzell and Fred Ahr. Two members of the present faculty, Deane Dorwin and Hugh Andrews, starred in 1924. Andress lauded the 1927 team, with Robert Zwlck, Bill Bell, Carl Gerlier, Bib Cole, Bob Hill and others in the lineup In 1929, he recalled, the team won 14 and lost five, winning the last game of that season. 2-0.

This team, he eald. was presumably the best In the school's history-even better than the 1931 five which won all of Its 17 games.

Five thousand police, reinforced by Welsh guards and plain clothes detectives guarded the houses ot parliament and the king’s processional route against possible assassination attempts.
