Hopes For New League; L.C.C. Eying Move Eastward? City Seeks National A.A.U. Meet By EARL Rl'BV, Courier-Journal Sports Editor Washington and Lee University is just as interested as the University of Louisville in developing a new athletic league, thinks Dr. Walter Flick, head of the Department of Education and Psychology at W. L.

Dr. Flick was in Louisville yesterday to address the Kentucky Association of Insurance Agents His subject: "The Unemployment of A good part of the trouble with college athletics today seems to come from this unemployment, he suggested. 1 As The By LARRY BOECK Antagonists who view each other with savage hatred do combat Saturday in three football games that will clear the bowl situations insofar as Southeastern Conference teams are concerned. League-leading Mississippi battles Mississippi State in one old and bloody rivalry. Georgia Tech encounters Georgia in another traditional slugfest.

And Florida, one of the loop's surprise outfits, crosses lances with upstart Miami. The results of these games will determine one spot in the Cotton Bowl, another in the Sugar and two more in the Gator the South's leading post-season affrays. Only one team is assured a bowl invitation. That's Arkansas in the wild Southwest Conference. The surprising Razorbacks, not given a look-see at the title, have ended the league season with a record of 5-1.

Baylor plays Rice and, with a victory, could also achieve a 5-1 record. But Arkansas still gets the bid because it conquered Baylor. Who'll meet Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl and who'll secure the Sugar and Gator invites hinges on the three games involving S.E.C. elevens Saturday. Let's look at the ball games Washington and.Lee, he said, is interested in finding other schools which are as determined as it is to maintain a high position scholastically, while holding athletics to a sane level.

Dr. Philip Davidson, president of U. of has invited several southern college presidents to meet with him here next week to discuss such an association. W. and Dr.

F. P. Gaines is expected to be among them. Dr. Flick will return, also, and address W.

MALE-MANUAL Move Nearing? The Louisville Country Club, ime of the oldest and most respected clubs of its Jrind in the South, soon may move farther out the River Road. I The club is approaching a time when it will find Jts land too valuable to hold and the upkeep of its old buildings too costly. A site near Skylight has been mentioned. ome members have suggested a lay-out similar to -that at Harmony Landing, where horseback riding nd boating are available. Some have suggested Man ual Defense May Be Key To Outcome of Male Clash that an attempt be Landing property.

for third at 5-2, and Georgia Tech, in second place with 5-2 but with a chance of making it 6-2 if it beats Georgia. Traditionally, the S.E.C. champion has been invited to the Sugar Bowl as host team. If Ole Miss wins, it is a cinch they'll be in the Sugar. Tech-Georgia As mentioned, Tech could ctfp the title by whip ping Georgia, that is, if Ole Miss loses.

If both Tech and Ole Miss triumph, 'Ole Miss will be the champion on percentages .833 to .750. Florida-Miami Like Kentucky, Florida has ended loop play at 5-2. And like U. Florida is a bowl candidate, although on overall season's play the Wildcats have a better record 7-3 to 5-4. Should Florida bow to a powerful Miami, its then 5-5 'mark would preclude a bowl invite.

Come to Louisville! Welcome Mat Out There is a good possibility that the National A.A.U. convention will be held in Louisville in 1955, it was learned yesterday. This is to add a word of welcome to members of the association's convention committee, which will hear Louisville's bid at Miami Beach Fridav.

Why Go West? I Baseball Problem Studying a map of the States, you can't help wondering why the American Association directors are looking westward for a new member to replace Kansas City.

I Denver is so far west that it could be attractive disaster in the Cincinnati Purcell bout when the Purples obviously had a bad night. Subtract Purcell from the figures and we learn that the other nine Male foes averaged but 6.6. However, Eastern scored three times on the Bulldogs and Paducah twice. Eight Red Lettermen Charley Kuhn dispatches four new faces Into the combat when Male goes on defense. Coming in are tackle Ronald Mimyard, guard Dave Bogart, linebacker Eddie Wright and halfback John Conn.

Manual's defensive alternates bring in guard Don Wilborne, end Bobby Wills, halfback Bill Starr and safety Ed Monheimer. The Purple defensive unit averages 179.4 and includes eight seniors and three juniors; seven are lettermen. Manual's group, averaging 163.6, numbers eight seniors and three juniors, eight of whom are lettermen. Manual threw up a virtually impregnable pass defense this season. Of the dozen touchdowns gouged out of the Reds, only one came by passing.

Except for a kickoff return by Eastern, the other TDs were accomplished by rushing. Red opponents claimed 12 touchdowns and six extra points for a total of 78. Male gave up 17 touchdowns 14 by rushing and three by passingand 11 extra points for a total of 113. Pass Defense Remarkable Although the Reds reputedly are a superior defensive team, Male shows a better mark in rushing statistics against mutual opponents. Atherton, Flaget, St.

X. and Eastern totalled 430 yards and attempt to simplify a complicated picture: Ole Miss-Miss. St. Mississippi, playing a light schedule, now is 4-1 in the league (8-1 against all opposition) and must win if it is to take the conference championship. If the Rebels lose, they'll wind up 4-2, not good enough to beat out Florida and Kentucky, tied Walt Alston Wins Vrote of Confidence Field to go to the Pacific Coast in a year or so, if attendance continues to decline.

"We hope the attendance decline is not a permanent condition," he said. "Undoubtedly much of it is due to television. But don't forget that the Dodgers continue to lead the league in combined home and away attendance. We're the best gate attraction." Despite his reference to television as a factor in declining attendance, O'Malley also announced that the Dodgers next season would continue to telecast all home games and perhaps some road games. All road games will be described via radio.

O'Malley also emphasized that the departure of either the Dodgers or Giants "would make the other club a mighty sick franchise." "The Dodgers and the Giants would be lost without each other," he said. "Brooklyn drew 397,000 fans for 11 dates in the Polo Grounds this year. The Giants drew 270,000 for the same number of dates in Brooklyn. It is inconceivable to me that Brooklyn will play its home games anywhere but in Brooklyn." O'Malley said, however, that he personally believed California will have major league baseball within five years. Tops UP largest number ever to participate in the All-America balloting.

Beagle Just Misses Ellena, U.C.L.A.'s brilliant tackle, was the runner-up in the point scoring with 2,697 followed by Cassady, Ohio State's fleet back, with 2,580.

They wonder where Alston, rehired under a one-year contract, became the last major league manager to be signed for the 1955 campaign. "We feel Alston did all right even if we didn't win the pennant," said Walter F. O'Malley, the president of the Dodgers. "We don't blame him for the operation on Roy Campanella's hand or Johnny Podres' appendectomy." Coaches Not Listed Alston, who was a complete contrast to his predecessor, talkative Charley Dressen, did not attend the press conference. Instead he was at home in Darr-town, Ohio, working at his hobby of making home furniture.

O'Malley also said that the club would announce its coaches for 1955 at the baseball in Houston, next week. He did not indicate whether the present trio of Billy Herman, Jake Pitler and Ted Lyons had been retained. However, Lyons has been offered the job as manager of the Dodgers' Fort Worth, farm club in the Texas League and probably will accept it.

By JOHNNY CARRICO "The thin Red line" of Manual's defense may be the, key to the outcome of the annual Thanksgiving Day classic at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Manual Stadium. Past performances indicate that Male is vulnerable on defense but that the Purples offset that flaw with a smashing offense. Male's tactical philosophy is that a "good offense is a good defense," that in a.

scoring battle the Purples will command an advantage. The Crimson defensive record is an excellent one: their ten opponents averaged only 7.8 points per game. Only Owensboro, Ashland and Danville scored twice on the Crimsons which is a pretty fair tribute to the Crimsons' tenacity. Male, on the other hand, gave up an average of 11.3 points in its ten contests. Boosting the average, though, was the 53-7 Charley Kuhn Teaches Smashing Offense No.

1 in the United Press coaches rating, and Ohio State, the No. 2 team, the other undefeated teams, landed one berth each. The Midwest, as it has since 1951, won the most spots 13 on the first, second and third teams. In 1951, the South won the most berths, 10, but this season that section came up with only threesone on each of the first, second and third teams. The Pacific Coast was second to the Midwest with seven spots, followed by the Southwest and East with five each.

Also the Crimsons gave up only three touchdowns to the quarter while Male yielded six.

Manual's best defensive quarter has been the second when only St. X. and Ashland scored; the Reds were weakest in the first when Owensboro, Lafayette, Flaget and Danville registered.

He thinks the change in the one-shot foul rule is a step in the right direction, but doesn't regard the solution as ideal. "It's another move that helps the offense when it's the defense in basketball that needs helping," he said. "A defensive player already has to run up into the stands and hide to keep from having a foul called on him. A foul now will be costlier and he'll have to play even more carefully." Full-Scale Game Monday The free intrasquad game and clinic Monlay night will be a full-scale game.

At intermissions, officials Benny Edelen and Charley Vettiner will explain the new rules to the fans and go over and clarify for them points in the old rules that continue to be confusing to the average fan. It'll be worth attending. Louisville opens its season two rights later-Wednesday at the Armory at 8:30 against Hanover. a good job" and not a "bonus for doing a bad job," as the old rule was in his opinion. Last year, on a one-shot foul, the shooter got another try if he missed the first time.

This year, by the new rule, he will get another try only if he makes the first shot. "More free throws will be made," he said, "and more games will be decided at the free-thro- line than ever before. Also there will be more time spent at the free-throw line because of the extra chance if a shooter makes his first shot. I think the games will last about 10 minutes longer." He also sees more whistle-blowing. "Because a team now can make three points as the result of a one-shot foul (by making the first shot, missing the bonus second shot and then tipping in the rebound for a goal)," he said, "there'll be more pressure on the official by the team with the ball for him to call fouls more Hickman added: "Some psychology will be involved, too.

Every time there's a new rule an official seems very conscious of it. By TOMMY FITZGERALD University of Louisville basketball Coach Peck Hickman thinks basketball coaches will grow balder quicker as the result of the new rules. I "They'll have about 10 minutes longer in a game jiow to pull their hair out," he said yesterday in discussing plans for the intrasquad game and rules clinic he will put on free for the fans at 8 o'clock next Monday at the Armory. Two New Rules Will Affect Game Peck thinks the outcome of games will be affected by two new rules: full 20-minute halves instead of 10-minute quarters and the new foul rule. "The 20-minule halves will help the bigger schools with the larger squads," he said.

"Full 20-minute halves Without those quarter rest stops will put a stronger strain on the stamina of the squad that has only five or six or seven good players."
