Louis Cinch To Win Next Title Match SOth Anniversary of Anti- Football Bill Rolls BY MALI.Y FROVGST.

Before the occasion slijm away, it should be brought to light that Feb. 11 marked the anniversary of the introduction in the state legislature of Hous 4 bill to outlaw football in Nebraska. Gaffin planned to make it a misdemeanor to play, watch or report the grid spurt in 1897. In those times they were of horses when they made reference to an outstanding team. GA.HE of football it degrading and demoralizing and is in this retpect no better than a prizefight," declared Speaker Gaffin in a scorching blast that Frankie Filchock and Rocky Craziano might well agree with today.

Mr. Jenkins of Jefferson county made a noble attempt to queer Uie bill by moving that after the word football the word baseball be Inserted. Gaffin was stung by this development and termed the amendment ridiculous. Lancaaier's Wimberly, rantbt brlween his eonscienrr and electorate, stated that Is the most repulsive gsmet I ever saw but I have constituents who seem to find somcthins good la It and take pleasure In It." Gaffin then claimed that the element" of people were against football and spiked his point by saying that such rowdy expressions as "break ius back," him out," and your elbow thru him" were comnion- ly used by the piayen. Another Lancaster reprieaent- ativc, one who was probably tired of reading whist scores in the uly wryly observed tliat "more harm has resulted from ice cream, oyster stews and circus lemonade than from foutbuU."

A PRETTY safe bet that Ixmis will be pulling for the Briton. Not becau.se of any fear of Uaksi. Louts fears no man strictly a business viewpoint with him.

(AP). Dan Ferris, executive Secretary of the A.A.U., said Tuesday that Buddy Young, University of Illinois sprinter, automatically became ineligible fof amateur competition by announcing his intentions of playing in an all-star football game for which he would receive money PERU beat HasUngs, 44-33, earlier in the season at Peru but may find the task of repelling the Broncos at home unusually difficult. There are several reasons: Peru must play a tough Kearney State five Friday at Kearney; Hastings lost to a college team at home in three years; and Peru never has beaten Hustings twice in one season. Ila.itiiigs holds a 13-8 edge til the series which goes back 26 yean and trounced the Bobcats, 59-33. here last year.

Coach Wayne Bobcats are more potent in the acortng department than Hustings but the Broncoa even matters in the defensive department. Peru has averaged 57.7 points a game in conference play while Hastings has averaged 42.6. The Bobcats have permitted their opponents an average of 48.8 points a game while HasUiigs has allowed only 34. Ferris said he had received a request Ifom the Central A.A.U., w'hich conttnls the affairs in Illinois, fur a ruling on the Young case and answered by quoting the rule which makes an offending athlete automatically Ineligible. HE ADDED that the rule provides that if the athlete abstains from collecting the money, he may be reinstated after one year.

Ferris said Young received only expense money for his appearance at Ix)s Angeles when the football game of which Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis was one backer, was cancelled. Only yesterday Young announced that he hoprd to enter some Chicago school next fall and begin preparing for the 1948 Olympic games. He is a former winner of the National A.A.U. 100 meter dash. When he left to appear in the Los Angeles game early last month.

Young withdrew from the University of Illinois. Young waits the year he will have plenty of time to get in shape for the Ferris pointed out, he will be eligible again about Jan. 10, 1948, and the Olympic trials will be sometime late that spring." Lincoln High Reveals '47 Football Slate Lincoln High School Athletic Director Ralph Beechner announced Tuesday that nine football games have been scheduled for the 1947 Links. other problems are southpaw Howie Pollet, who won 21 games and was the top hurler, and shortstop Marty Marion. Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Tigers, who paced American league pitchers with 26 triumphs and 9 losses in 1946, has balked at the initial offers, while Spurgeon Chandler and Floyd Bevens, two of the New York front-line flingers have expressed dissatisfaction with terms offered them.

Owner Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox, maintaining one of the highest-priced payrolls In baseball history, has yet to satisfy the demands of pitcher Cecil Ilughson, a 20-game winner the last season, first baseman Rudy York and catcher Roy Partee.

A few players did sign Tuesday, however.

Utility infielder Don Gutteridge and outfielder George Metkovich of the Boston Red Sox agreed to terms as did southpaw Fritz Ostermuel- ler of the Pirates. Ostermueller, whom President Branch Rickey of the Dodgers called "all washed three seasons ago, won 13 games and lost 11 for the Buccaneers in 1946 and was one of the most effective pitchers during crucial contests.
