CHICAGO, Dec. 10. — Midwest-

powerful. athletic ally in the Big Ten during the first war year, learned. today that competition available. to them during the 1943 football campaign would be reduced. .The step was taken yesterday by the Big Ten’s faculty representatives as the conference officials concluded a two-day meeting.

. Grid schedules of nine games for next fall originally were drafted two years. ago. The faculty men voted to extend the schedule to 10 games with the extra contest being played against ‘a service team. + No provision was made, however, for- the complete revision of the schedule, such as was’ done last March when each conference school made room for two service games on its program. It was decided to fit -the service games for next fall in “‘where possible” on the regular schedule. . Three Choice Opponents . Three .choice opponents, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, already. have nine games scheduled with the only open date available Nov. 27, the final Saturday of the season. Ohio State and Illinois, now have eight opponents each with the first and last weeks open. Forming a representative schedule for one or more service teams under such conditions will be virtually impossible. Lieut, Comm. Russell Cook, athfetic. officer at the Great Lakes naval training station, said he had been asked to wait “until spring” before starting to work on negotiations with conference teams. ..“T hope it finally is decided to completely revise the conference schedules as was done last season,” Cook said. “It is the only way I feel that we could get a representative card.” . Prof. Frank E. Richart of Illinois, secretary of the faculty representatives, did not believe that would be done, however. oe Schedules Already Set “This schedule has been set for a jong time,” he said, “and I doubt if the directors will desire to tear I apart and start all over.” : ‘The slice in the number of servfeo games was defended by one prominent conference. official who said: * “It 1s our understanding that the service teams desire more competition against one another next fall rather than in the collegiate field.” ‘Lieut. William Hunter, former athletic director at the University of Southern California and now an assistant to Lieut. Thomas Hamilton in the. havy’s- pre-flight school program, attended a meeting with con-

By ROBERT MELLACE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec.’ 10.—There is not a peep out of George Preston Marshall as the Chicago Bears invade Washington for the play-off game with his Redskins on Sunday, which the great majority believe will make them champions of the National Professional Football league for the: third consecutive season. On the eve of ‘this same engagement two years ago, Owner Marshall cracked something to the effect that the Bruins were overrated, called them a first-half outfit, : The result was that the Bears poured it on all afternoon until the final score was a never-to-be-forgotten 73-0.

Stadium Sold Out

Ignominy of such a shellacking was a disgraceful blow to professional football and to the Redskins as representatives of the eastern division. For these two good reasons, Sammy Baugh and his buddies are bent on making the Bears eat a little crow this trip, in place of their usual diet of the East’s best. All seats at Griffith stadium—exactly 36,006—were sold out 48 hours after they were placed on sale— first come, first served—two weeks ago. The gate totals $102,000. So, you see, Washington still has faith in its Redskins. It’s the good right arm and punting of Baugh, the greatest of all passers, against everything that is good about the modern T formation with man-in-motion. Baugh has capable receivers in Dick Todd, a back, and Bob Masterson, Ed Cifers and Al Krueger, ends. ‘Todd is an excellent runner and Andy Farkas can smack the line. But Sid Luckman and little Char-

Tied With .Froebel The Riders tied with Froebel for

third in the conference last season,

winning. 10 and losing five, but reached their peak in the East Chicago sectional. Their principal op< position this year may come from George Rogers Clark of Hammond, the sectional runner-up. Clark, which lost its league opener to Gary Froebel by a 47-46 count after trailing 32-16 at the half, lacks size but has the speed in Labda, Demkovich, Buksar and ‘Donham.

tion. The Wildcats, with Scott, Stefko, Bindas, Piatek and Kucer looming as regulars, can start a team averaging almost 6-foot-2 and approximately 178 pounds in weight. All five played tournament ball last year and compare physically with the material Coach Chet Kessler had in 1938 when his Wildcats were run-ners-up to Ft. Wayne South Side for the state title. "us Lew Wallace of Gary is neiohiier team that may surprise ‘but the Hornets are handicapped by a tiny home : court, ‘also a lack of good two-handed shooters. Hammond Tech, counted out of the race by everybody but Coach Lou Birkett, whose 1940 Tigers gave the Calumet its first and only state champlonship, may turn in the biggest surprise of all. Tech lacks rebound strength, but clever ball control and deft use of a set offense, may overcome some of the handicap. The six teams mentioned above, comprise the upper bracket of the Western division, although Valparaiso and East Chicago Washington may crowd their way into the group. Horace Mann, 1941-42 champion; Emerson, : Tolleston -and Whiting will score their share of upsets, but none figures seriously in the title race at this date.
