player; Tiger or Buckeye, to the affair FAIT. BROWN Recent reference to Rep. Bob Shaw of Columbus es a "close personal friend of Faul Brown" was incorrect. Brown himself points out. Shaw is the legislator who took the Ohio State football Bituation into st.itchouse politics within the hour after Baul Bixler's resignation had been accepted, with regrets, hy Ohio State.

'T know this Mr. Shaw only slightly," says Brown. "I recall having been introduced to him at a rarty held at the home of a Columbus doctor. I have been embarrassed, and so have many of my close friends in Columbus, by the recent introduction of my name into the coaching Bituation at Ohio State. The university lost a good coach when Bixler resigned.

It has found a fine young man and a well-schooled coach in Fesler. I wish him every success. As for myself, I have never entertained a single thought of returning to Ohio State since joining the Cleveland Browns, whose managerial duties keep me both busy and happy." Rams, Boston Yanks In lioul? DANNY REEVFS Akron football fans may get good opportunity to compare the relative strength of the All-Aniejica conference and the National Football league next fall. Danny Reeves, owner of the Los Angeles Rams, is most anxious to have the Fiams meet the Boston Yanks in Rubber Bowl next Sept. 10.

The Cleveland Browns, All-America conference champions, already are booked to play in Rubber Bowl on Aug. 29. Paul Brown says the Browns' opponent will be cither the Los Angeles Dons or the Chicago Rockets. If the Rams-Yanks game is booked, then efforts will be made to have Brown sign the Dons for the. Aug.

20 affair so that fans will he able to size up both Los Angeles teams on the same gridiron and under the same general conditions only 12 days apart. THKSK GAMES would have more than normal box offire appeal. The Los Angeles Dons are one of two teams to defeat the Cleveland Browns last season, the Dons turning the trick hy 17-16 at Los Angeles. The Boston Yanks handed the Los Angeles Rams a surprise defeat in Boston in that National league encounter. Both the Browns nnd Rams would be bent on revenge.

The Rams, as the former Cleveland Rams, have played four times in Rubber Bowl, dating back to an initial appearance on Sept. 7, 1911. They have always shown to pood advantage, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Faglcs and New York Giants. The Browns played to a Fiiper-capai ity audience in their lone appearance, against the Brooklyn Dodgers last Aug.

The Rams have in Bob Waterfield the only real rival to the Browns' Otto Graham for the rating of pro football's top passer. Methinks Akronites would turn out in heavy numbers to see both hoys in action. Cranvs's I'ntler Consideration engaged in a postseason tilt for the crown. In 1945 they dropped it. to Ruchtel while last season they edged the Griffs, 34-32.

Coach Frank "Doc" Wargo's crew also will be seeking ample revenge for their last setback, one of their two this season. West was the last team to turn the trick, the Cowboys whipping in eight points in the final minute of play to ice a 49-39 decision. South has recorded 13 victories in 15 starts, its only other loss coming at the hands of powerful Canton McKinley. 54-42. The Cavaliers have won 11 straight since that West defeat.

THE BISONS' lone setback was inflicted by Garfield. 55-40. Sinre that, Coach Bill Scheldt's charges have mmped to four consecutive series victories, Over-all record for the Cowboys is nine wins in 14 outings. Records, as in the past, will be cast aside when the two quintets take the floor. Besides the city championship laurels that go to the victor, the Touchdown cluh trophy also will be in the offing.

A couple weeks ago, when the bantam deficit was still around $6,000, these boys pooled their pennies, nickels and dimes and huilt up a pot of $10.33 which they gave to Bantam relief, because they had been privileged to see and enjoy two bantam games last fall and were looking forward to seeing more games next srason. We said then that this was the most important gift the Bantams had ever received and might easily enough mark the turning point in their fight for existence. It has done just that. The sacrifice by these boys arouned nnd challenged enough Akronites that more than $1,000 was mailed Into the Bantam treasury within five days after the children's home jrift was announced, and more money has heen coming regularly since.
