Meet for NFL
Crown Sunday
New York, Dec.12 (API —
The Philadelphia Eagles and
Los Angeles Rams will bump
helmets next Sunday for the
National League title, plus a
seat next to the Cleveland Browns
of the All-America conference as
co-champions of 1949 pro football.
The Browns, by roqting^the San
Frqncisco 4'Jers, 21-7, in their play
off final Sunday Were champ
ions of the now defunct AAC.
Their four-year reign is a pro. grid
record.
The Rams had to go right down
to the last ganjie of the regular
season to clinch the western di
vision title in the WFL. They
blasted Washington’s Redskins,
53-24. Thie triumph assured them
of meeting the Eastern Division
winners, the Eagles, in the titular
play-off in Los Angeles.
Chicago’s Beairs, who had to
win while the Ranis were losing
in order to overtake Los Angeles,
did their part by battering the
Chicago Cardinals, 52-21.
The Eagles made their 1949
record- more impressive (11-1-0)
by dusting off the New York
Giants, 17-3.
\ The Pittsburgh Steelers ousted
the Giants from second place in
the Eastern secitio
the weak New York
eral weeks before the Vacancy
will be filled. King’s resignation
becomes effective December 31,
1949.
King is a graduate of Texas
and came here last January 1 from
Tulane where he had served as
end coach under Henry Frnka for
three years.
“Our loss is Texas’ gain,” said
Irvin. King has done a highly
satisfactory job for us and leaves
here with our best wishes |for con
tinued success.
“My relations with Texas A&M
College have been excellent. I can
not praise the school and its of
ficials too highly. Working with
Bones Irvin, Harry Stiteler, and
his staff has been a real pleasure
and a source of satisfaction to me.
I feel that a fine opportunity
awaits me at my old school with
Blair Cherry and his staff. I want
to take advantage of i(.” said
King.
It is known that.King has re
ceived several other attractive
coaching offers during (h* past 12
months.
