Athletics' Problem Is More Confusing PHILADELPHIA (INS) — Chicago realtor Arnold Johnson left Philadelphia bound for Chicago Sunday after making a statement that only added to the confusion about the Athletics. Johnson said he and his attorney, Edward L. Vollers were going back “to consult with our associates and make a final decision.*’ What the "final decision 1 * he was trying to reach, Johnson failed to specify. The Chicagoan bid $3,375,000 for the team with a view toward moving the American League franchise to Kansas City. But the purchase was short-cir-cuited by a $4,000,00(7 offer from a syndicate of eight businessmen, who planned to reorganize the club and keep it in Philadelphia. The proposal, however, failed to win the sanction of other club owners at a meeting in New York last week and the league members adjourned indefinitely to let Connie Mack, and his sons, Roy and Earle, settle their problems. Roy hinted that the A’s would operate at the same old etand under the present ownership next season but Connie said, "There’s not a chance." Earle, executive vice president and retiring general manager of the A’s, sized up the situation adequately. He said: “We’re just waiting —for what I don’t know, but we’re just waiting.” “ ~ RE-ELECT YAGER WMMItnFoLwWvt. ’ ■ * • ' • ~• ■ NEXT GAME Tuesday, Nov. 2 Komets - Toledo Nov. 9 — Cincinnati.

Indiana Upsets Michigan, Ohio Still Unbeaten CHICAGO (INS) X- Ohio State’s Buckeyes, undisputed leaders of the Big Ten and favored to represent the conference in the Rose Bowl game on New Year’s Day, seek their seventh straight victory Saturday when they meet dangerous Pittsburgh at Columbus. The Bucks squeezed by Northwestern, a Big Ten rival last Saturday, 14 to 7, as Pitt, an in-and-out team this season, was handing West Virginia its first defeat, 13 to 10. Ohio State's hard-earned conquest of Northwestern was doubly Important because it earned the Buckeyes their fifth straight conference triumph and a clear claim on the Big Ten leadership. Michigan, Which shared the conference leadership with OSU, was dropped tb a second place tie with Minnesota, when Indiana upset the Wolverines. 13 to 9. Minnesota came back from a one-sided licking received at the hands of Michigan the week before to clip Michigan State, 19 to 13. The Gophers meet Oregon State next Saturday.
