Postponed Affair The game today was a postponed affair.

It was to have been run off Wednesday but was carried over because of an ice storm. In the opening period the Den ver line stopped Hardin-Simmons' high-powered attack cold, and the visitors launched one drive that carried to the Texan 27. However, C. Cook bobbed up to intercept Jack Girtin's pass on the 13 and ran out to the 28 as the period closed. Hardin-Simmons took over with six minutes of the second quarter gone.

Mobley, who led the nation in ground gaining in 1942 and again in 1948, flicked through center, broke Into the open and sped 34 yards to a touchdown. The con version was missed by Ed Poulus. First Pass Interception Hardin Simmons had another drive under' way Just before the period closed but, after advancing 43 yards, had one of Alvin John son passes intercepted on the Denver 21. Johnson had gone through the season without an in terception until this one. In the third period, the Texas team marched 42 yards for its second touchdown with Johnson flip ping a snort pass to i-nd Jack Boles on the Denver 5.

Boles bounced off two tacklcrs to score standing up. Poulus kicked the extra point this time. Denver threatened late in the period, moving to the Hardin-Sim mons 15 but Andy Pavich fumbled and Cook recovered for Hardin- Simmons. Denver Threatens Denver missed making it a first down on the Hardin-Simmons 5 when a lateral pass picked up 9 yards and a short time later an other Denver fumble led to the final Hardin-Simmons score.

From the Denver 17, Mobley weaved around right end and behind great blocking went across. Poulus again converted. Hardin-Simmons, champion of the Border Conference, went through eleven games unbeaten and untied.

Notre Dame LETTERS, both sympathetic and critical, have been received from football fans during the week with regard to the breaking of relations between Notre Dame and Army. Some agree that Army and other teams must pull away from Notre Dame because the latter will be too powerful in the years to come. Others maintain that the game was dropped tor the good of both schools and that other football classics will be abandoned in an effort to de-emphasize the sport. Incidentally, there's a new plav in New i one, a musical, entitled Toplitzky of Notre Dame which. according to Time magazine, openly proclaims what many football coaches may have secretly sus pected: that Notre Dame teams are divinely guided.

An angel ap pears in Notre Dame uniform and kicks a 105-yard field goal to beat Army.

Chicacoans Greet Illinois Players Chicago, Jan. 4 (Illinois Rose Bowl champions tumbled gleefully from their West Coast train today to a rousing welcome from their 45-14 rout of U.C.L.A gridders whom the Illini generally scorned as "weaker than the weak est Big Nine team." A wildly cheering crowd of 500 patiently milling around the rail road station as the snow-decked train chugged in more than two hours late, engulfed the 39-player squad in an impromptu but hilar! ous celebration. An official homecoming is planned for the Illini at Cham paign, Tuesday, but it won't be more enthusiastic than today's reception in which photographers and newsmen swarmed as thickly as autograph hounds. The players, wearied by their 50 hour trip from Los Angeles the city which greeted them coldly as unwanted bowl contenders and then sent them away in stunned admiration for skinning the Call fornians tried to duck through the throng unnoticed.

4 (JP) Football's ules. both those that determine vf onaii fiaj LUiivt and those that say how it should be played, are expected to ba overhauled at the annual N.C.A.A. and coaches' meetings that start tomorrow. The N.C.A.A. proper opens with routine business session tomor row, saving it fireworks lor Monday when it's subsidiary, the conference of conferences, tangles with the problem of determining how much if any financial reward shall be given college grid-Iron heroes.

Answers to 1,100 questionnaires mailed a month ago by Rules. Com mittee Chairman Lou Little, of Collimhia will ciiMa tha their discussions on the playing v. code. The coaches' committee can not revamp any rule, it can only recommend changes which th N.C.A.A. group either will adopt or reject.

Lists Rult Changes Foremost among the proposed enanges are those that would move the ball in 20 yards from the side lines, instead or tne present 13 yards; liberalization of the substi tuting rule: increasing the number of time outs; permitting the ad vancement of a recovered fumble uiiu umaiui; me uoii ueau wnen an attempted conversion is blocked. Discussion also is expected on a proposed rule which would give the failing team the choice of kicking or receiving, no matter who scored the preceding touchdown, snd the legality of the double, or sucker. snni. Much of Monday's conference of conferences meeting also will be devoted to the answers obtained from a questionnaire which the group sent last July after its Chicago mjeting. The list of questions deals almost entirely with financial aid to college athletes.

400 Colleges Answer In making their replies th dif ferent loops could answer that ther now followed the plan of giving no financial aid to the players; intended to adopt that plan in the near future or rejected the idea entirely. We have very frank and rerr complete answers covering some 400 colleges." one N.CJVA. official said today. He preferred not to be named. The same source said a set of conduct rules might evolve from Monday discussion, which would then be sent to the N.C.AA.

for consideration. With the recommendation likely would be a suggestion as to now the code should be enforced, either by gentlemen's agreement or a czar of college athletics. The official said he believed there was little likelihood Restrict Schedules The same official declared that if the conference of conferences fails to agree on a definite set of rules, schools would restrict their football schedules to schools with the same viewpoint. The Southeast Conference is the only circuit which has openly announced that it has given financial aid to athletes. Gambling, ticket speculations and eligibility rules also will be given a thorough going over in the sessions which do not end until Wednesday night.

The Baseball Coaches Association also has its annual meeting scheduled for Sunday and Monday. Everett D. Barnes, of Colgate, president of the association, said most of the mentors time would be spent in devising a plan to nrnlprt thplr ath1ota from thm rich offers of organized baseball until after graduation. West Virginia Cagers Defeat Salem By 88-48 Morgantown. W.Va., Jan.

4 VP) West Virginia University's regulars and all available reserves joined tonight to keep the team among basketball's undefeated teams at the expense of a scrappy but out played balem College five which they defeated 88 to 48. A near-capacity turnout of 4.500 spectators saw Coach Lee Patton's team chalk up its fifth victory in as many starts after a two-week layoff for the holidays, and hand to Salem College its third defeat of the season against six victories. After the first few minutes of play, it was West Virginia all the way. Breaking fast, the winners look a 23 to 8 lead in the first quarter and made it 49 to 19 by half time. A complete second team took over for the second half, and continued to pile up the lead.

Fred Schaus and Capt. Leland Byrd were high scorers for West Virginia with 15 and 14 points respectively, while Bob Doughty for Salem tied Schaus's high mark-Earl Rlaik To Receive Coach Of Year Award New York, Jan. 4 (JP) Earl Blaik, of Army, voted "coach of the year" oy his football coaching brethern, will receive the award Monday night although he will attend his father's funeral in Dayton, Ohio, that afternoon. William Douglas Blaik, 78. died in the Ohio City late yesterday.

Coach Blaik will attend the funeral in the afternoon and, weather permitting, will fly here in time for the presentation ceremony at 10.15 P.M. Football coaches from all over the country, here for their annual meeting, will attend the event, sponsored by the New York World-Tctegrom. New Farm Team For Indians Cordele, Jan. 4 (Cleveland of the American League, will operate the Cordele club this year in the Georgia-Florida League, it was announced today. A fan has asked why and when such a term was applied to the scoring of a sports event.

According to the story an. Eng lishman witnessed a tennis match France and later introduced the game back home. He was familiar with all of the terms except that representing no score. The French used the word Loeuj (meaning the egg) to depict no score. It sounded like love to the Englishman.

Thus, tetinis in France and base ball in the United States have one thing in common. It's Loeuf when player is blanked in the net sport, and goose egged wnen snut-out on the diamond. The reason, of course, is that an egg is shaped like a cipher. And delving turtner tne world of slang, when you are shutout you lay an egg. or Burley THERE will be no love in the scor ing of a sports event tomorrow night in the Coliseum.

It will be a ten-round bout between Charley Burley and Bert Lytell, a pair of top-ranking middleweights. Burley is ranked No. 2 on the latest list, and Lytell is sixth. Both scrappers should be in there pitching It so happens that the middleweight division currently is the strongest in boxing. Other weight classes have only one or two standouts, but the group bossed by Tony Zale has an abundance of eood fighters.

In addition to Burley. JLyteii ana Zale. the middleweight division also includes Archie Moore. Jake La Motta, Holman Williams, Louis (Kid) Cocoa and several others who have been in the limelight. Efforts will be made to get to gether the winner tomorrow night of the Burley-Lytell test and Moore That one will be worth going the proverbial mile to Burley undoubtedly will be the favorite to win from Lytell tomorrow night, but you can't sell Bert short.

He is a southpaw, cagey and can hit. In a previous test between Burley and Lytell the former had his hands full. He won the decision in a scrap staged last August, but the margin was too close for com fort. Boxing and wrestling will be in stride this week, three snows hav ing been booked. In addition to the matches tomorrow night Ed Contos will conduct his regular mat program Tuesday in the Coll seum wnere a aouDie leature is scheduled and several newcomers will compete.

Among the newcom ers will be the Super Swedish Angel, and with that name follow ers of the bone benders should have something unusual in store for them. The Garden Club will feature Baylor Grid Job Still Wide Open Waco, Texas, Jan. 4 (JF) The coaching situation at Baylor University was wide open again today when Bobby Dodd, mentor at Georgia Tech, announced he was turning down an offer to coach the Baylor eleven. Dodd. who visited Baylor officials here before going to Houston where his team beat St.

Mary's in the Oil Bowl January 1, disclosed his decision in a formal statement to the press at Atlanta. Baylor athletic officials declined comment and gave no. indication what man, if any, was now under consideration for the job. No date has been set for another meeting of the athletic council but it was believed a coach would be hired before the end of this month and he probably would be an out-of-state man now holding the head coaching job at a major school. Harry Stiteler, assistant coach at Rice, was prominently mentioned for the job a month ago but an nounced he would not take it under the present set-up which, he said, prevented the head coach naming his assistants.

The athletic council chairman Alva Bryan issued a statement that the head coach could name his assistants and said the council had not considered Stiteler. Le" Force Receives Two Pro Foothall Offers Tulsa, Jan. 4 (JP) Clyde LcForce, Tulsa University star quarterback, said today he had been contacted by representatives of both Detroit Lions of the National Football League and the San Fran cisco 49ers in the All-America Con ference to play professional foot ball next year. Salary terms were not discussed in either instance, LeForce said adding "I'm undecided. It doesn't matter much to me whether I play pro ball or hot.

"My wife, Rosemary, hasn't made up my mind yet, he chuckled. LeForce returned home today from San Francisco where his sparkling play contributed to a Western victory over the Eastern All Stars in the annual New Year's Day charity classic. He was includ ed on both the Detroit and San Francisco draft lists. Army Rumored To Meet West Coast College San Francisco, 4 (JP) Local football circles heard today that the United States Military Acade my will shortly announce the sign ing of a home and home series with a West Coast college. The name of Stanford University was mentioned as a possible opponent.

Graduate Manager Alfred R. Masters and Head Coach Marchmont. Schwartz, of Stanford were enroute to New York to attend the national foot ball meeting. Stanford and Army met in Palo Alto in 1928 and in New York the following year, Stanford winning both games. Mrs.

Elizabeth Barger, of Stadium, who is riding the crest, as predicted by many of the pretourney calculators. But her hold on the top rung is far from conclusive, and her climb to first place has been an uphill one. Mrs. Barger Topi Women For the first 15 games, Mrs. Audrey Atkinson was away in front, setting two Evening Sun and Baltimore city marks.

But Friday the slender Plaza roller suffered a itunning setback, dropping back into third pace before the rush of Mrs. Barger, the defending titllst who is seeking her third crown in the event, and Iva Leaverton, of Highland, who held onto her runner-up position. This afternoon semi-finals are listed for the New Highland alleys, 3303 Fleet street, at 3.30 P.M., and Mrs. Barger will carry an eight-pin advantace into the fifth set. Her aggregate over the first 20 games is 2,463.

as compared to Miss Leaverton's 2.455. Mrs. Atkinson trails the leader by 44 ducks with 2,419. Bill Esser, Eastway hope, Is the one to beat as current figures stand in the men's division. He will move into the semi-finals at 2 o'clock on the New Highland lanes boasting a margin of 120 piits over his nearest competitor.

Defending Champion Bob Fisher, of Brooklyn. Esser owns an aggregate score of Fisher. 2,633. Esser Is Men's Leader Esser led after the first five-game block, surrendered the leadership temporarily to Winny Guerke. of in the second round, regained the top New Year's Day at the halfway mark, and then set a "cw Evening Sun and city standard vrhile strengthening his position in 'he fourth set Thursday.

Twenty points behind Fisher is he consistent Spillway entry, George Young, whose 2,611 still is fry much in the running. In fact, none of the field of 36 be counted as out of conten-iipn. But four of the women are ue for elimination this afternoon nd eight in the male division will -e jdropped before nightfall. Finals At Franklin Center Then action will transfer to the "ranklin Bowling Center, 2560 west Franklin street, where to- -light at o'clock the sixteen sur viving men and eight women who iae remained will battle it out in tne finali for the 1946-47 championship in their respective divisions. Esser's average in tournament play is in excess of 137 per game, and his consistent performance throughout stamps him as a strong favorite, although Fisher's almost equally steady play over the route has his backers still rooting for a repeat victory.

Fcser is within reach of Bill Irotey's 30-game world's record too. One thousand three hundred find four pins is a lot of timber to upset in just ten games, but that figure will enable him to erase the Highland bowler's 4,058 mark established in 1945. Mrs, Barger has averaged better than 123 to date and will be shoot- ng at her own 30-game' world's mark, 1.234 pins away, this after-Pfon, That Is another considerable ficure, but there are those who are predicting she will eclipse the tally established while winning her second Evening Sun title in 1943. Navy Plcbes Top Haverford, 50-23 Annapolis, Jan. 4 (JP) Navy's plebe eagers defeated an outplayed Haverford squad, 50-23, Plebe Coach Ronald Rankin used 18 players in the game, and scoring was well distributed throughout team.

At halftime Navy led, 3 10. Guard Fritz Thorton paced Hav-trford scoring with 12 points. The loss was the Pcnnsylvanians iourth in ei.ght starts this season. Ohio Slate Defeats Minnesota Five, 43-11 Columbus, Ohio. Jan.

4 (JP) Ohio State opened defense of its Wpjtern Conference basketball title here tonight with a thrilling last minute victory over the Minnesota Gophers. The score was 43 to 41. The victory was the twenty-third in a row for Ohio State on its home lourt and ended a string of four losses incurred on a Pacific Coast 3-ip during the holidays. It was Minnesota's third defeat in nine fames and was the first Western Conference engagement for both teams. Ohio State won with little more a minute to play when Jim Harris, pint-sized forward, grabbed the ball on a fast break and dribbled in with a one-handcr that Broke a 41-41 tie.

Minneapolis Signs Hurler Minneapolis, Jan. 4 W) General Manager Rosy Ryan, of the Min neapolis American Association baseball team, today said he had ngncd Nicholas Andromidas. 22 year-old former Jacksonville hurler, Bt-r uie 1947 aeason. THE HEAT'S ON. today in The Evening Sun bowling tourneys.

They turn into the stretch run with the men and women both plaster ing the pins in the semi-final and final rounds. This is the spot where the pres sure puts on the squeeze, It's' no place for a competitor afflicted with jumpy nerves. Things can happen to you In this alley pastime, as for instance Audrey Atkinson's experience Friday night. Leading the women with fat margin, and going along on the impteus of what was called smashing triumphal march" something happened. She blew an 80-pm lead, and dropped into third place, 44 off the pace, as the battling Toots Barger winged out in front.

Bill Esser, at the moment heads the men's division with a 93 pin advantage over Bob Fisher. George Young follows 120 pins back, Joe Patti is one more pin away and Hugh Trader 130 behind the lead. Esser is not in despite his healthy lead. He could run into the same trouble that beset Audrey Atkinson. Considering that Trader, in fifth place, had to produce a 130 average for the 20 games to date in order to reach the semi-finals among the elect, you discover there is no place in the tourney to stop off and enjoy a few snores.

Both Esser and Toots Barger are at their best under pressure, and for this reason they have to be favored to hang on. Neither, how ever, is immune from the vagaries of the game. So until it is over neither will be in. N.C.A.A. Meets BEGINNING today the National Collegiate A.A.

will convene in New York, and there are those who anticipatt some fireworks. It seems that there are many things bothering the athletic direc tors and football coaches. And truth is there should be a lot of worry about certain angles. But those who expect the roof to blow off are incurable optimists Wrong End COLLEGIATE football has been faced with the same sort of prob lems for many years. Whatever has been done about it has not interfered to any noticable degree with the continued exist ence of the problems.

The, mistake has been that of grabbing the problems by the tail Pin Standing and flying along in the rear like a kite. They're Off CALIFORNIA'S winter golf circuit got under way on Friday with 130 avid pellet pounders parading down divot lane of the Rivera Country Club. The Rivera course is regarded as a testing layout, on wnicn par may be beaten but is seldom made to look like a bum. Byron Nelson won this. $10,000 Los Angeles open last year by exactly equaling par for the 72 holes.

There is no Nelson this time but there is Ben Hogan. Thjs is just as lacking in encouragement for the balance of the field. The point, however, is that the winter season gets unaer way, with the golfing fraternity scrambl ing around like a flock of chickens when you toss out a handful of corn. After all, come to think about it, that's their business, and not a bad way to make a living, if you can make one at it. Job Completed UNCONDITIONAL release of Hal Schumacher by Giants reminds that there was a lad who fooled i everyone.

Those who saw him pitch at first. felt certain he would throw himself apart in five seasons. Whatever kept his arm from following the ball up to the plate always was a mystery. But Hal was a Giant Hurler for 15 years. He compiled a record of 158 victories, as agunst 117 de feats, for an earned-run average of 3.35.

For much of the time he was far better than his club. So at 36 he is heart whole and fancy free in so far as a baseball job is con cerned. Birds-Bucs ACCORDING to the schedule the Orioles will tangle with the Pittsburgh Pirates a couple of time this spring in Florida. The Bucs will tram at Miami Beach for a change, just a short hop from the Birds' Hollywood layout. So far the Pirates have 35 exhi bition games lined up.

Six of these are carded with the Athletics, undoubtedly as a sort of morale booster. That One Game TALK ABOUT Brooklyn seeking Pitcher Mort Cooper from the Braves may have some foundation in fact. What Branch Rickey might offer for him probably wouldn't stir any enthusiasm in Boston. It was a three-hit shutout by Cooper that is regarded as the game which knocked the Dodgers out of the nennant last year. Inasmuch as the Broons finished in a tie with the Cards you really could argue the same way about any single ball game they lost from April onward.

-Well, why not? Dough Binge IF MONEY means everything there is Santa Anita. Starting on December 28 the nags faced four $50,000 stake events during a period of 15 days. They get a week's rest from such rich fare. Then they get two more of the same at $50,000 per, each within a week. Another seven days in which to recupearate, then comes four more of the same in 22 days.

After another week to recover from the swoon. March 1 and 8 will feature two different stakes Instead of the ordinary $50,000 they will be for $100,000 each.
