The rally will start at 9 o'clock. Pro Grid Loop to Draft Plans for Title Games Milford High's Successful Football Squad NSC Gb ft Sk Paul Chadick, considered the out standing player in Wilmington bas ketball circles, has been definitely terest, Pierre S. duPont High School and Wilmington High may set an attendance record for a sports event in Delaware, when they meet in their annual Thanksgiving Day football game at Wilmington Park. Annually a great attraction, but generally competing at the turnstiles with big college games, the Dynamiters and Red Devils have always pulled in their 5.000 onlookers for the top game in schoolboy ranks in the seven years they have met. but this year a greater throng is looked for.

Neither the Alfred I. duPont Athletic Fisld, Wilmington's home lot, nor the Dynahs grid were large enough to accommodate in comfort the crowds that watched the annual battle until they moved in to Wilmington Park last year and then the attendance did not quite come up to expectations. This year, however, a greater turnout is looked for and many predict the mark set by the Wilmington Blue Rocks-Philadelphia Athletics exhibition game of 1940 will be threatened. The Rocks and A's set the record Negotlat'ons were completed yesterday among representatives of the Wilmington Sportsmen's Club, station WILM and the State Armory for broadcasting all of tile season's home games of the Wilmington Blue Bombers who open their schedule tomorrow night.

The New York Giants clinched the eastern title by beating Washington yesterday. The western division leaders. Green Bay and the Chicago Bears, can finish in a tie if Green Bay wins its one remaining game and the Bears win their two. In that case these two would have to meet in a sectional playoff to determine which would play the Giants for the pro title.

Since the last regularly-scheduled games are listed for Dec. 7, this could stretch the pro season to Dec, 21. In that case some close connections would have to be made, for the league champions and a squad of league all-stars are booked to be in Los Angeles Dec. 28 for an exhibition game.

Present-day defenses are conceived and executed so well that a sustained scoring drive of any great length Is a rarity.

Minnesota's victory over Michigan, Duke's defeat of North Carolina and Perm's whipping of Cornell last Saturday furnish three good examples. The opening wedge for the Minnesota touchdown was driven by a punt that sailed over the Michigan safety man's head; three punts inside Carolina's eight-yard line paved the way for Duke's scores, while Perm scored one touchdown by kicking Cornell into a hole and the other after intercepting a pass.
