UP) A new eight-club Central Baseball league will "definitetly" become part of organized baseball in 1948, franchise holders from Michigan, Ohio and Indiana promised Saturday. Meeting here to draft plans for launching the league next spring, the franchise holders were unable to come up with eight clubs that will assuredly enter teams in the projected Class A league. Five clubs signed official entry applications and League President T. J. Halligan of Flint, said three more will be following suit in the near future.

Already committed to enter teams in the league are Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Fort Wayne, Muskegon and Dayton, Ohio, franchise holders. Other strong possibilities for 1948 starting berths are Flint, Pontiac and Royal Oak. ix" WlOiiii ii m. wi i- 1. i Jt i.

Detroit, one of the nation's most aggressive offensive teams, tangles with Villanova at Shibe Park today in what figures to be a key test of the Wildcats defensive strength. Detroit has piled up 1,589 yards with its running attack in four games (two won and two lost), and Villanova has demonstrated its defensive strength by holding Army to 13-0 and by upending Holy Cross, 13-6.

CTV Southern Methodist whipped Rice decisively, 14-0, Saturday to remain among the nation's unbeaten, untied teams and to exalt Doak Walker as the greatest all-around back ever to play for the Methodists. A crowd of 22,503 roared approval at the amazlnr feats of the fiery sophomore who new has run virtually at will over four straight teams. Walker led an 80-yard surge In the first period for the initial Methodist touchdown, scoring it himself on a dash around end.

and getting off a long run that led eventually to the second. He also kicked two points after touchdown, narrowly missed a field goal from the Owl 15-yard line and Intercepted two Rice passes that were labeled "touchdown." Walker carried the ball IS times for 87 yard ait the leading ground-gainer and he completed four of five passes for 33 yards, but his ball-handling and generalship were as important as his individual offensive efforts. Rice never was in the game and but for some S.M.U. fumbling would have been beaten by a more decisive score. The Owls, pre-season favorites for the Southwest conference championship, never had a chance with the spirited Mustangs and Walker.

Sparked by the brilliant Ray Evans, wbo accounted for all but 13 of the yards, the Hawkers trampled ground 80 long yards for the game's first marker. In eight plays, starting with a 25-yard scoot by George Thomas, the Sooners knotted the count and Dave Wallace's perfect conversion gave Oklahoma the lead. That, then, was the first half scoring, although Kansas, but for a faulty center pass, should have had another tally.

Evans had run the kickoff back to mldfield, theni passed to Schnellbacher for 25 yards or the first play. The usually reliable Schnell bacher let a third-down heave slip through his fingers on the five and just when it looked darkest the Jayhawks gathered their first down. Evans, 'back to pass, was swarmed under, but he let loose with a wobbly heave to rid himself of the ball. Teammate Hogan, however, appeared on the scene, grabbing the pass on the 10, lateraling to Schnellbacher, who carried to the six-yard line. Tough Break.

(Sports Editor, The Tribune.) SOUTH BEND, IND, Nebraska's battling Corn-huskers, making their first football excursion to the lair of the Fighting Irish in 20 years, Saturday found them just as tough as ever The Huskers put up a strong 60-minute battle before Notre Dame, rated the No. 2 team of the nation, emerged a 31-0 victor. The Cornhuskers battled their highly touted rival from the start, but the Irish had the all-'round strength.

They scored in each period, tallying twice in the final quarter. Notre Dame was directed by all-Amerlcan Johnny Lujack and his understudy, Frank Tripucka, 178-pound, 19-year New Jersey lad. Three of the scores came when was at quarterback. A capacity crowd of 65,000 fans couldn't find fault with the Irish Saturday. Their running attack, NEXT FOES.

For Nebraska Kansas State. For Notre Dame Iowa. which failed to function in the Pittsburgh and Purdue games, was clicking. Notre Dame was credited with 20 first downs, and 14 of them came through their ground attack. Nebraska also was impressive with its running attack in side the Notre Dame tackles and was credited with nine first downs, gaining a total of 203 yards on rushing.

Two Scares. The Nebraska battlers gave Notre Dame quite a scare in the opening period, driving to the Irish 21, and again in the second quarter when they advanced to the 13, only to be pushed back to the 30 when a horde of Notre Dame linemen broke through to nail a passer It was Lujack who was at the quarterback slot on the Notre Dame touchdown drives in the first and third period. The first was for 74 yards and the other from the 50. Tripucka was the boss man on a 55-yard march in the second, a 91-yard onslaught midway in the fourth and then coming right back with a 27-yard march just before the final gun. A Nebraska fumble covered by a Notre Dame lineman set the stage for the final Irish marker.

Fischer. The Cornhuskers, with Cletus Fischer, Dale Adams and Del VViegand carrying the brunt of the attack, did the ball carrying between the 20 yard markers. The first Notre Dame drive got underway in the opening period after Meyer kicked out of bounds on the Irish 26. By putting together five successive first downs, Notre Dame carried to the nine yard line, from where John Panelli bulled his way over. Steve Oracko's attempted place kick was wide.

Quick Kick. Notre Dame's second touchdown started from the Irish 45, where Wiegand placed them with a quick kick. With Tripucka sparking the attack, the Irish drove to the two, from where Mike Swistowicz hammered through center for the marker. Again Oracko's placement was wide, and the score was 12-0.

Cfl-An hour before his gridders were supposed to play Billings Central Catholic High school Saturday, Coach Kenneth Brown of Roberts High telephoned: "I can't find my team. "I guess they all just went deer hunting and forgot about the game," Brown explained.

Keckley made a three-yard touchdown plunge after the Bears had scored 30 yards on a pass from Jack Jensen to Jack Cunningham. Later in the same quarter, Cunningham accounted for the most spectacular play of the game when he intercepted a blocked pass and ran 83 yards. Quaterback Bill Lippincott had been rushed in his pass throwing effort and the ball popped up into the air. Dick Cullom place-kicked all three extra points. Fumble Hurts.

The Bears put on an 83-yard drive and followed it with a 48-yard march in the third period but bogged down under WSC's tightened defense. The ball was last on downs on the 12-yard line and later on the 26. In the fourth period the Cougars outplayed the Bears and scored a touchdown after recovering a California fumble on the Iatters 49-yard line. Fullback Gordon Brunswick Alert California Traps Cougars, 21-6 Adams ramming through the line, marched to the Notre Dame 16 for a first down. Two plays netted "only three yards, and the next two attempts lost 17 yards.

Notre Dame took over on its 30. Early in the third quarter, the hard running Panelli was injured and carried off the field on a stretcher. It. was announced that he suffered a dislocated shoulder and, would be out for several Coy McGee, a scat back with plenty of speed, got the Irish off to the third touchdown by returning a punt 30 yards to mid-field in the third quarter. On the first down Lujack hit Swistowicz with a pass that carried to the Nebraska 14.

McGee finally carfied it across from the 13. This time Fred Early made the kick that gave Notre Dame a 19-20 lead. Punt Return. The fourth period was all Notre Dame. McGee got off another nice punt return of 30 yards, but the Irish were penalized to the nine for clipping.

On the first play the hard running Emil Sitko raced through an opening at center for 33 yards and the Irish were off again. They marched to the 14, and then Tripucka hit WaybriglA with a pass on the goal line. Early missed the place kick and the score was 25-0. A recovered fumble on the Nebraska 27 set up the final Notre Dame score. The Irish drove to the 13, and on fourth down Tripucka lateralled wide to Sitko, and he went over standing up.

Early's place kick was blocked. Line play was hard and tough, but there were few penalties. Capt. George O'Connor and Ziggy Czarobski were powerhouses in the Notre Dame line. Tom Novak and Carl Samuelson were brilliant with their line play for Nebraska.

The Irish backs, particularly Texan Coy McGee, were working in good form. McGee carried the ball 10 times for 66 yards and Mike Swistowicz nine times for 39 yards. Tripucka completed eight of 11 passes for 97 yards, and Lujack tossed six, with only two hit ting the mark for 38 yards. Score bv Quarters Nebraska .0 0 Notre Dame 6 6 7 12 .11 Summary Touchdowns.

OREGON PULLS 6 TO UPSET PORTLAND, ORE. (Underdog Oregon turned on amazing power to defeat a ragged Washington team, 6-0, in their Pacific Coast conference football game here Saturday.

Oregon crossed the goal line three times, but twice penalties nullified the scoring plays. The Huskies never threatened.
