Notre Dame remains as the top football team in the country, despite its 19-14, movielike loss to Great Lakes but its popularity took a drastic cut.

Eighty-six of 131 sports experts, voting in the final Associated Press poll of the season, marked the Irish No. on their ballots and their decisions kept Notre Dame on the throne for the ninth straight week.

Baseball's winter Dieting held in this city for the first time in 24 years, convened yesterday with the minor league problems becoming the first issue.

Bramham reportedly agreed with the poll until recently when the Texas League demanded voting privileges and now is said to have changed his mind. An amendment, sponsored by the American Association, proposes the valuation of voting power to correspond with the size of the league.

Thus a Double A circuit would carry 10 votes. Class 1-A eight votes and so on down to Class leagues, which would have only one vote. The amendment was opposed by Bramham on the grounds that it was "un-American and undemocratic." Negro Player Discussion The usual trade rumors were in the air, though nothing definite was announced. The Cleveland Indians expressed their anxiety to attain an outfielder and offered Hurler Jim Bagby as bait. One rumor was killed when Billy South worth, manager of the National League champion St.

Louis Cardinals, denied that he would trade Martin Marion, his prize shortstop. The major leagues began their meetings with the American and National circuits conferring separately on Wednesday and Thursday. They will meet in joint session with Judje Lancis on Friday. At the Friday session, the question of using Negro players will be discussed officially for the first time. A committee from the National Negro Publishers Association will appear before the meeting.

In this number the mat monstrosity, Maurice Tillet, known as the French Angel, will meet Michele Leone.

They are scheduled to go to one fall or to a finish. The French Angel is the first of several luminaries of wrestling whom the promoters plan to bring here this winter. On an eastern tour, they were fortunate to secure him and pair him off against a foeman of the color of "Mad Mike." The Angel, whose distinction as the ugliest man on the mat has yet to be usurped by rival claimants, is still practically "brand new" to Wilmington fans. He appeared here twice several months ago during the outdoor season. Leone, with all his tricks, mostly of the questionable variety, can be counted on to give the 275-pound Angel a going-over but it is doubtful whether he can match the Frenchman in strength and endurance.
