Dodgers’ Brass Hats tp Sign Rickey as General Manager

State Teams Battle to Tie

By UNITED PRESS

As far as dete ng the high school football's state mythical championship was concerned, last night's games left the set-up exactly the same since two of the top unbeaten teams, Elkhart and South Bend Riley, ended their game with a 6-to-6 tie. ! But tonight's game between South’ Bend Washington and Evansville Bosse ' probably will‘ leave South Bend the top contender for the crown. Washington is unbeaten and untied. Whiting completed another successful game last night by trouncing Gary's Lew Wallace, 18-0, leaving Whiting the top team of the northern. conference. In.the eastern loop, Mishawaka came out on the long end of the 14-6 score with Goshen. East Chicago's Washington maintained its winning streak with a 12-68 . score. over Hammond Clark. Muncie toppled from its unter feated place when Westville, Ill] beat them, 19-0. However, Frankfort and Marion remained unbeaten in .the north central conference. Frankfort took Kokomo, 14-0, and Marion beat New Castle, 52-0.
