Big Nine Meets To Determine Grid Schedule Chicago. Dec. 12 H’Pl—The recurrent problem of fitting "small schools’’ Into the big school's football schedules was placed today before western conference representatives meeting to draw up 194849 grid schedules. Each of the big nine schools is entitled to ask for six congerence games and two home games. But Indiana, Purdue and lowa, with small stadiums, have had difficulty in the past getting six games. Th* larger school piefer to continue their traditional rivalries with the bigger school which are better drawing cards. Michigan, for example, with 85,000 seats to fill at Ann Arbor considers Ohio State, Illinois. Northw> stern and Minnesota as "musts" on Its schedule. Conversely, all four regard Michigan as a "must." Thu ■, Michigan and some of the other bigger eehools walked into the session with only two conference games actually open. Football scheduling may drag oil through tomorrow. It tisik three days to settle the problem of 1947 games last spring. • The task.of dividing some SIOO,vim which the western conference expects to receive as its share of the net proceeds from the Rose Bowl game faced faculty representatives at the thie* day meeting. Observers believed they would vote to divide the proceeds evenly among member schools, after deducting expenses of the conference's Rose Bowl contestant. Under that arrangement each of the nine schools proliably would receive I about $9.(i00 every year the conference k< represented at Paeadena. I'-iider The "presdh* five year pact the big nine will send a member, for the next three years and choose a representative, either conference or noil-conference, the fidlowing two year*.

The Chicago Bears were beaten by the New York Giants. 14 to 0. in regular season play. But now the monsters of the midway are being quoted as seven points favorites over the Giants In Sunday's squabble over th* crown. McAfee I* the answer. The Bear coaching staff has Indicated that George I* set and ready to go after a poor season in which he saw but limited action in three games. If so. it well could make the difference indicated In the betting line for. with the possible exception of Bill Dudley. McAfee ranks as the greatest halfback in NFL ranks. The one-time Blue Devil star has earned his niche in play-for-pay’s hall of fame. He was a poor defensive back when he graduated

from Duke. They had been satis fled just to let him run and pass at Durham. But the youngster who had crawled under th.- fence at Portsmouth. ()., back in kid days to watch the old pro*, didn't have an oversized hat bund and lie took the pro Inatru< tlon gracefully. It made him a success In the rugged pro game*. For two years, 1940 and 1941. he was one of the best, fading the glory of hl* football brother*. After that '4l aeason. George went Into the navy and soon saw service in the pacific. Returning late last year he was underweight but still managed to get Into three games. Sixteen times he carried the ball, rolling up 139 yards and scoring three touchdowns. But when the Bears went Into training this year, McAfee was in poor condition. Building up his electric sign business in Chicago, George had lost even more weight and was shy about 12 pounds of his best playing form. So the Bears brought him along slowly. Coach George ilalas realized that returning veterans expected to pick up right where they left off and that many of them were prone to get discouraged by the long road back. He talked to Mei Afee and kept his spirits up.

Then, to add a bit more trouble, George suffered a hip Injury in u preseason exhibition game with the Washington Redskins und a* the scheduled tilts rolled by without him they began Io say that he wa» through. It looked bail for him. too. when | he finally came bar k against De i tiolt A rangy 168. McAfee always i hid been noted for hl* speed and I fast reactions. Only two men ever, hud < aught him from behind, the fleet Melle llupe* of the (Hauls. and l-arry Craig of Green Bay. Hut once In four carries he was cut | down from the back. In the next game, against the. Chicago Cardinals, McAfee toted 1 the ball eight tim.-s and last week i against Detroit was given a good work out. He carried th«- bull only ° twice to prevent injury poaalbiHties hut did a lot of running. At the end It was evident that | McAfee wasn't far off hl* old form. | So despite the fact that he has lug-1 ged the leather only 14 times this season and only 30 times slnre. Pearl Harbor, the odds makers ap- i parently figure Gorgeous George I* ready to cut loose. As far as he and the Bears are concerned. It’s Just ulsmt th<- right time. too.
