Wildcats Odds On Choice For Rose Bowl Bid Chicago. Nov. 15 — (UP) — The big nine's season-long race to pick a football team to play in the Rose Bowl January 1 reaches its climax Saturday with three clubs still in the runnning for the prized western trip. Northwestern, with a record of four victories in five conference games, was the odds-on choice to finish in second p'ice in the league and take the coveted bowl bid. But the Wildcats were not home free by any means and they could easily lose the bowl berth by losing to Illinois Saturday at Evanston in the conference s standout struggle for the day. An Illinois victory in this contest would not eliminate the Wildcats , from consideration, but it would weaken their chance to go tremendously. Snapping at Northwestern's heels for the post-season spot were Minnesoa and Ohio State. Each still retained a chance to tie or better Northwestern in the league standings should the Illini pull a Saturday upset. Minesota's chances hinge entirely on the outcome of its game at Wisconsin. A Gopher victory would mean a season record of five wins in seven games and would clinch at > least third place in the conference. Should Northwestern lose Minnesota would take second place and probably the Bow! job. , Ohio State could bang into c" dderation by springing the upset ot the day with a victory over Michigan at Columbus. Should that occur the Buckeyes would have a record of four victories and two losses, and by virtue of winning such a game, might edge out both Minnesota and ’ Northwestern for the Rose Bowl. j The big nine's bowl nominee will be selected by the faculty representatives, and there is no flat rule providing that any certain team should make the trip. An Ohio State victory combined with a Northwestern win, though, would tie Michigan and Northwestern for the league championship and the Wildcats probably would get the bowl bid as co-champions. But an Ohio victory combined with defeats for Northwestern and Minnesota would clinch another Buckeye trip to the post-season classic. Michigan was certain to hold at least a share of the league grid title, even though the Wolverines can't go to the bowl because they participated last season. A Michigan victory over Ohio State would

For the third time this year the eager Eagles marked a 45-0 score up on the slate yesterday as they drubbed the Boston Yanks. That kept them just a half-jump ahead of the Washington Redskins and their Sammy Baugh. 1 Meanwhile the Bears barely beat I Green Bay, 7 to 6, and the Cards tripped the Pittsburgh Steelers, 24 to 7. For the Eagles, the chief story was the passing of Tommy Thompson, aided by the running of Steve Van Buren. Thompson shot four touchdown passes of 70, 26, 20, ' and two yards while Van Burean contributed 134 yards on the firound. It was the Eagles' sixth win against one loss and a tie. The defending champion Card! nals scored three touchdowns in the first half but were held to a field goal in the final two periods in scoring their seventh win in eight games. Two of the Chicago touchdowns came in the first three and half minutes on a 77-yard drive ending in a 42-yard pass by Ray Mallouf and then Charley Trippi returned Bob Citers' punt 62 yards for the second touchdown. The Steelers' only touchdown was scored by Jerry Shipkey. The bears met stubborn opposi tion agaipst the Packers but won when rookie Bobby Layne, filling in for the injured Johnny Lujack. fired two passes in the third period, one of them a 16-yard heave to George McAfee for a touchdown. Another rookie, Al Lawler, kicked the winning point. Green Bay got its touchdown when Jacy Jacobs shot a 13-yard pass to lolan Luhn for the touchdown, but Ed Cody missed the try for the extra point, from behind twice to trip the New York, the Los Angeles Rams came frombehind twice to trip the New York Giants. 52 to 37. The Indi vidual stars were Dick Hoerner. who scored three times, and Bob Waterfield, who passed for two tallies and booted a field goal and seven conversions for the Rams. Baugh had another good day as the Washington Redskins pasted the Detroit Lions. 46 to 21, but not until the Lions outraced them during the first three periods. Washington counted four touch downs in the final 12 minutes with Baugh hurling three of them and setting up another. The Redskins' Dan Candifer intercepted his 11th pass of the season to tie the all time league mark. Pro Basketball BAA Washington 80, Fort Wayne 71. Minneapolis 90, Providence 67.

Cleveland Browns Beat Forty-Niners By United Press Th*e unbeaten Cleveland Browns, •liming for their third straight All- 1 America football conference champ-1 ionship, were a lot closer to it today as a result of their spine-tingling i 14 to 7 triumph over the previously unbeaten San Francisoc FortyNiners. Now all the Browns have to worry about is another game with the FortyNiners on Nov. 28 — plus the three other games left on their schedule. A crowd of 82,769, largest ever to see a professional football game, packed Cleveland's Muncipal s adium yesterday to cheer the brilliant Browns as they took undisputed possession of first place in the western division and rolled to their 13th consecutive victory over the course of two seasons. The loss was San Francisco's first in 11 games. Cleveland scored on the second play of the game after Forrest Hall of the Forty Niners fumbled the kickoff and Lou Satan of the Browns recovered on San Francisco’s 14-yard line. Otto Graham car ried the ball over a play later. Frankie Albert's deft passing and running plus Joe Perry.'s one-yard buck tied the score for the losers. Edgar (Special Delivery) Jones tallied the deciding touchdown on a four-yard plunge in the third period after Graham's passes had sparked an 84-yard sustained drive. The eas'ern division race was locked tighter than a bank vault with the Buffalo Bills. New York Yankees and Baltimore Colts all ■ boasting five victories and six > losses. The Yankees climbed into the tie by dint of a 21 to 7 victory over , their Interborough rivals, the i Brooklyn Dodgers. Pete Layden and i speedy Buddy Young starred jn the I Yankee win. Layden running, passing and kicking superbly and i Young scoring one touchdown and I setting up another. Baltimore was forced to erase a i 10 to 0 deficit before beating a . suprisingly - stubborn Chicago Rocket team 38 to 24. Bus Mertes, i Colt fullback, atoned for a costly I aarly fumble by scoring two touch- ’ downs, including the deciding i marker. I Glenn Dobbs, playing despite a painful rib injury, sparked a second half scoring drive which enablnoweringed the Los Angeles Dona to upset Buffalo. 27 to 20. Dobbs * was involved in each of the Dons' four TD's, powering his way to two of them and personally passing for Los Angeles' third six-pointer Lions League Plays At Monmouth Wednesday k The Lions basketball league will play its gameq at the Monmouth gym Wednesday night this week it was announced.

Mikan, the six-foot 10-inch ace frrom DePaul looped 36 points through the net last night but the Royals still managed to beat Mikan’s Minneapolis Lakers, 92 to 75.
