THE TEEKE HAUTE STAE, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1949. Rose Poly Strikes Blow for Prestige Of H. C. C. Class BY DALE BURGESS Associated Press Sports Writer Some of Indiana's smaller colleges today were prolonging celebrations of football victories as their I.

48 to 14 explosion against Pittsburgh. The nine-team Hoosier Conference produced most of the excitement. Hose Poly's Engineers supposedly stepped outside their class to provide homecoming opposition for Wilmington's four-straight winners, but Rose won, 13 to.7.. Taylor University, new member of the loop, probably handed the league championship to Hanover by dumping Anderson in a midweek game, 31 to 12. THE UNBEATEN Hanover club finished its non-conference business Saturday by pasting Centre Kentucky, 27 to d.

of Kentucky, 27 to e. me f-an- thers lost only to Centre and De- Pauw last season and have whipped both of them this year. They have reasonable expectations of defeating Franklin, Indiana Central and Manchester the next three week- ands. Taylor, twice-tied but undefeated in the conference, held undisputed second place and Anderson dropped Into a third-place tie with Franklin on percentages. Franklin inflicted Manchester's fourth defeat, 8 to 0, the same score as Indiana Central's upset of Canterbury.

Earlham lost a non-conference battle with Wabash's Little Giants, 7 to 0. This Saturday Indiana Central will be at Anderson, Hose Poly at Earlham, Franklin at Hanover, Huntingdon at Manchester, Taylor at Bluffton and Wabash at Canterbury. EVANSVILLE, neck and neck with Marshall In a race for the Ohio Valley championship, won its sixth straight from Murray State of Kentucky last Thursday, 13 to 6. The Purple Aces will risk the string this Friday night at the University of Chattanooga, 27 to 0 winner over Evansville last year. Ball State, only undefeated independent In Indiana besides Notre Dame, will take on Valparaiso Saturday in one of the top attractions of, the season.

The'Ball Cardinals rested last week while was winning a surprisingly easy victory from Kalamazoo, 38 to 0. DePauw, a five-straight loser after a 46 to 12 defeat by Ohio Wesleyan, will totter out again against Lake Forest. Butler, in the rprl affain red again after a 7 to 0 defeat by Washington of St. Louis, has a home date Saturday with Illinois Normal, a team that defeated Indiana State, 28 to 0. Indiana State took a 55 to WHIZ KID Hine, won the Brabazon Trophy at Stoneham, near Southampton, England.

The youngster's 287 for 72 holes outdistanced his nearest rival by four strokes. Because of his easy, natural swing, experts predict a great future for the New Hampshire County champion. Johnny Mantz Wins Ted Horn Memorial WILLIAMS GROVE, Oct. Mantz, Los Angeles, set a new track record to win the 50-lap Ted Horn memorial big car race before 32,177. Mantz went around the half- mile Williams Grove Speedway course in 22 minutes, 28.49 seconds to slice nearly 34 seconds from the old mark held by the late Ted Horn.

However, the 50 points he garnered for the victory were not enough to. give the West Coast speedster the 1949 A. A. A. Eastern championship.

Today's points gave him 649. A. A. A. officials said this years crown will likely go to Tommy Hinnershitz, Reading, whose 25 points for finishing fourth earned him an unofficial 686 points for the season.

Only one race, giving 20 points to the winner, remains on the Eastern schedule for the Heading, winner of the 500-mile classic, finished second behind Mantz by 50 feet; Doc Shanebrook, La Porte, Ind, took third; Bill Shindler, Report Pro Grid- Loops Plan Peace Merger of Leagues Appears Possibility CHICAGO; Oct. Chicago Sun-Times said today peace in the form of a merger "is on the verge of being declared" in, the war between the National Foot-, ball League and the All-America' Conference. In a dispatch from Hollywood by Irv Kupcinet, Sun-Times columnist, the newspapen said: "An arrangement has been worked out by interested members of both leagues which will find only three members of the All-America Conference surviving the Cleveland's Browns, San Francisco's 49ers and the New York Yankees. "One other All-America team, the Los Angeles Dons, may be merged with the Los Angeles Rams, while Chicago's Hornets, Buffalo and Baltimore would be relegated to the ash can. 1 "ONE NATIONAL League team, the New York Bulldogs, be merged with the New York Giants to form a 12-team league.

"Makeup of the new league, which will be in operation in 1950, barring unexpected complications, would put two teams in New York and Yankees; two in Chicago Bears and Cardinals; and one apiece in Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Green Bay, Los Angeles and San Francisco. i "The 12-team, league then will be divided into east and west divisions, with the champions of each meeting for the world championship, as is now the procedure in the National League."
