future will not be determined until

the new league, too,” he said.
The retired admiral said the
AAC meeting will be held before
the Jap. 19 meeting of the new
league. ;
Thursday night and Friday he
conferred with officials of several
AAC clubs but declined to give
details pf the meetings.
“We’ife required to have a bus
iness nieeting in December and
this is It,” he said. “We have
noi discussed the so-called mer
ger vertr-much. Thas situation will
be gone into thoroughly at our
\Nctw Yqrk meeting.”
:‘I doin’t like the new setup at
all/’ he said. ‘T have always fav
ored having ,two leagues, juffli

Houston Dec. 17—UP—All-

Pro Conference champion
rdand Browns bowed, 12-7, in
Shamrock Bowl football game

reached its peak just before game
time, trimmed attendance to a
scant 10,000, and turned the field
in Rice Stadium into a vertiable
lake. At the game’s end, grimy

All the scoring, oddly, came dur

Texas electrical storm with a dis
play that took some attention from
the game.
Hllppin’ and Sliding
The all-stars slipped and slid to
the game’s first score late in the
first period on a 09-yard march
directed by the West ( oust golden
boy, Frankie. Albert of the San
Francisco Forty-niners.
It was Albert’s unerring passing
to Chet Alutryn of the Buffalo
Bills, Buddy Young of the New
York Yankees and Lamar Davis
of the Baltimore Colts that put
play on the Browns’ 11. From
there, Mutryn alternated bucking
the line with Joe Perry of the
Forty-niners, with Mutryn getting
the counter. Albert's kick was
blocked.
The Browns imnfediately jumped
into the game with a searing 60-
yard spring from a delayed buck
by Marion Motley, the former Ne
vada star. He was hauled down
from behind on the all-star 25 by
Pete Layden, great Texas U. back,
now with the New York Yankees.
Then, the Browns moved all the
way to the all-star one-yard stripe
before the stout line held for four
downs and took over.
But it was a futile all-star stand.
Two plays later, after-the Browns
took over on the all-star 40 from

Owls Picked To
Win in Cotton
Bowl Tilt Jan. 2
New York, Dec. 17—(AP)
—Coach Jess Neely’s Rice In
stitute Owls, hustling champ
ions of the Southwest Confer
ence, have been chosen by
James J. Carrol, St. Louis betting
commissioner, as the football team
most likely to succeed in the
cream of the Bowl games on Jan.
2.
That is, the man from Missouri,
whose odds on sporting events
generally are accepted as a nation
al criterion, has decided that the
Texas eleven should subdue North
Carolina in the Cotton Bowl by
the day’s widest margin.
He makes- Neely's “T" opera
tives eight-point favorites over the
single-wing Tarheels, whereas he
adjudges the undefeated Oklahoma
Sooners only seven and one-half
points better than Louisiana State
in their Sugar Bowl tussle.
Possibly the most significant of
Carroll's quotations, however is
the six-point bulge he gives the
California Bears over jOhio State
in the Rose Bowl.
Evidently, word has reached St.
Louis that the coast conference
finally has “caught up” with the
big ten after having taken it on
the chin for three straight years
at Pasadena—two years ago by
49-0.
Kentucky is quoted at three
points over Santa Clara in the
Orange Bowl at Miami, while
Missouri and Maryland are listed
all-even in the Gator Bowl at Jack
sonville.
It is somewhat difficult, -on the
record, to account for Rice’s bet-
ter-than-a - touchdown favortism
over a North Carolina team which
boasts two such stars as Charlie
Justice and Art Weinejr and which ;
battled Notre Dame 646 foi - a half.
The Cotton Bowl rivals played
only ohe mutual opponent, Louisi
ana State, and both lost to the
Bayou Tigers—Rice by 14-7 and
North Carolina by 13-7. Nothing in
that to make a bettor go overboard
on the Owls.
It might be that Rjice’s-: reputa
tion has benefited by that terrific
showing Southern Methodist made
against Notre Dame in the same
Cotton Bowl two weeks ago. Rice
trounced the Methodists 41-27 earl
ier in the season. Also, the Institute
boasts a calla-carrier of its own
named Rote,—Tobin, cousin of
SMU’s Kyle.
Aggies’ mite-siaed guard, dribbled past
|the Abilene Christian Wildcats’ Dee Nutt (10) and went on for
lay-up shot in the AA’M-ACC basketball game in DeWare Field
ouse Tuesday night. The Aggies’ Johtn DcWitt (11) keeps an
nidentified Wildcat away from the ball.
ouglas Takes Over
UofA Coach’s Job
Fayetteville, Ark., Dec. 18—(AP)—Arkansas, unable
in recent years to keep pace with Southwest Conference raz-
zle dazzle football, Friday reached into the wide-open proffes-
fional ranks for a new head coach.
Otis Douglas, right-hand strategist to Coach Earle
((preasy) Neale of the Philadelphia
Eagles, was selected by university
officials to succeed John Barnhill,
Arkansas mentor since 1946.

tiite, Kehneth Sutton handed the,
Cadets a! 29-25 halftime advantage.
With Davis ruling over both
back boa rids, the Aggies jumped far
ahead in the second period. They
led 54-36 at the midway point in
the half and their largest margin
was 26 point# with a score of 07*

fray.
Karow’s eager# were out

occasions ware in the first Tour
