Michigan State Is Admitted To Conference Chicago, Dec. 13 — (UP) — Michigan State sat in on a sched-ule-making session today, lining up football games for 1950, ‘sl and '52, as the big nine once again became the big ten. Michigan State was accepted unanimously as a new member of the conference yesterday, filling the vacancy caused by the 1946 withdrawal of the University of Chicago. As soon as a committee of faculty representatives “have certified to the conference that the rules and regulations of the conference are completely enforced," Michigan State officially is in. Actually however, that is just a fodmality. The Spartans will not be eligible to demand the six conference games guaranteed other members in today's meeting. They will be permitted to schedule whatever games other .members may be able to furnish.

$t did not appear possible that Michigan State ctuld get the required six conference games to be eligible for the football championship until the 1953 season at the earliest. Basketball schedules will furnish only a minor complication. These are not prepared on such a longrange basis. At yesterday’s executive session, faculty representatives also approved for the second time an amendment tightening restrictions on scolarships held by athletes. Two types of athletic scholarships were approved. The first permits players who maintain a "B” average to accept tuition, incidental fees and grants of less than S3OO, a year. The second permits a "C" average student to accept tutition and incidental fees only. At the same time, it was announced that the Universi y of Pittsburgh has renewed its application for membership in the conference. Both Pittsburgh and Michigan State had applied for the spot vacated by Chicago. I

Chicago. Dec. 13—(UP)— The Chicago Cardinals, whose flaming spirit converted sure defeat into crashing victory in a game they j had to win, today faced the last foe on the road to their second' consecutive National league championship. The Cardinals, trailing their crosstown rival Chicago Bears by 11 points twice in their playoff clash for the league's Western di- 1 vision title yesterday, shifted in the final la minutes from a spiritless. beaten club into a smashing football team which wouldn't bow. They didn’t bow, either. The Bears were beaten. 24 to 21, on two last period touchdowns produced by a hardhitting line; two slashing halfbacks. Charlie Trippi an;l Elmer Angsman, and a sub quarterback who simply played his best game, Ray-Mallouf. Victory for the Cardinals meant a chance to play the Philadelphia Eagles at Philadelphia Sunday for the league championship. That's I a repeat of the 191" title clash Tn! last year's scrap the Cardinals' triumphed, 28 to 21. and once be-j fore this season they beat the Eagles. 21 to 14. The Eagles, who clinched the eastern division title two weeks ( ago. prepared for the playoff with! an easy 45 to 21 win over Detroit | yesterday. Tommy Thompson hit! for four touchdowns with 15 throws completed in 21 attempts, j Another star passer, Sammy: Baugh, carried the Washington I Redskins to a 28 to 21 victory over | the New York Giants with 24! passes completed in 42 efforts. And Jim Hardy, Bob Waterfield's re-! serve as quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams, took over the spotlight a« his team beat the Pittsburgh Steels. 31 to 14. Buffalo Wins Baltimore, Dec. 13—(UP)— Buflafo's coach Red Dawson insisted today that he'll make no special preparations for Sunday's All America conference championship game against Cleveland, and a review of the Bills' 28-17 eastern division title victory over Baltimore shows that he needs none. All Dawson can do is turn loose George Ratterman's passing attack and hope for the best. That best quite often is wondrous. Katterman passed to three touchdowns yesterday in leading the Bills to their playoff victory over Baltimore, and one of these tosses brought Buffalo from behind in the last three minutes of play. It was Ratterman who wreaked the most damage on the ambitious Colts.

(■'■'■'l

After Baltimore took a 3-0 lead in the first period, on Rex Grossman's 16-yard field goal, Ratterman sent Buffalo into the lead with a fiveyard jump pass to Bill O’Connor which gave the Bills a 7-3 halftime advantage. Baltimore came back with two

schools whenever a yell was given Surely a school ean show good sportsmanship by keeping quief whenever the opposing school gives a yell and not shout and stamp their feet so that you can’t hear what is being said. Come on schools—let's show a better ajtitude in the 1948-1949 basketball season. A Basketball Fan.” With the above vft heartily agree. However, we would go on from that point on this sportsmanship angle on the part of the fans. Booing of officials definitely is poor sportsmanship but one of the worst displays from our press box viewpoint is booihg of players, particularly when a lad is at the free throw line.

Incidentally, this lack of sportsmanship cannot be pinned just on a few schools, some angles hit fans at practically all games. Give the other guys a break. , —oOo — John Stanley, hot-shooting Geneva forward, bolstered his county scoring lead last week by scaring 40 points in two games to make his total 133 In eight games, a 27-point margin over Milt Habegger, Monroe center.

Because of these facts and to eliminate any possible embarrassment to the endowment from my continued connection with it, I hereby tender my resignation as a trustee and as president of the endowment." The endowment was founded jn 1910 by Andrew Carnegie's gift of $10,000,(100 to "hasten the abolition of international war." As president and a member of the board of trustees, Hiss was associated with John Foster Dulles, Republican foreign policy adviser who was chairman of the board of trustees, and with John W. Davis, a trustee and former ambassador to Great Britain. Meanwhile, the appearance before the grand jury of Rep. Rich, ard M. Nixon, R„ Cal., of the house committee on un-American activities, was delayed until midafternoon or later. Nixon, enroute from Washington with the microfilms of secret government docu-l ments found in a hollow pumpkin on Chambers’ Maryland farm, tele-1 graphed United States attorney' John F. X. McGohey that a, Pennsylvania railroad wreck would delay his arrival three or four hours. McGohey said the telegram was sent from Baltimore. Nixon originally had been scheduled to appear here about 11:30 a. m.
