f -jjiSfe NEW YORK ilPl The best“Tneasure of a college football
WoHh is hew he goes in the pro game, so It is evident today
that John Kayo Dottley of' the Chicago Bears and the New York
i QUints' Ray Krouae should have been on everybody's All-America
U For a survey of coaches, players and scouts in the National Profes
-VWMhtl Football League reveals that these two are the pro game’s rookies
of the year.
’ Their selection Is a boost for southern football, for Dottley, the
I*4 Mfefc-faoed hatchet-man fullback of the Bears, is a product of Missis
** sftipl while Krouse performed for Maryland. Neither was a prominent
Wi'MjiCi All-America selection, which is a commentary of some sort on
fl» picking passion which winds up the grid season.
Both of them, however, have been sensational during their first year
of professional football. '
-» Dottley, 33-year-old Arkansan who lives in Vicksburg, Miss.,
~.->blpsted right into the top row of play-for-pay ball carriers as he
B out 533 yards in 94 attempts. That’s a 5.7 yard average,
>r ,‘Vjuite a feat for a pro freshman.
Stout Steve Owen of the Giants considers Dottley one of the future
greats, however.
“He can really bang in there,” Owen commented.
, Dottley, a 200-pounder who stands six feet, one inch, is big and fast
—apd early displayed his power when, as a junior in 1949, he was
_ collegiate ground gaining champion with 1,312 yards running. That
was the third highest in collegiate grid records.
Bob Neyland, the Tennessee coach, at that time labeled Dottley
~ aa.one of the greatest running backs ever produced in the South.
!»»k> 1M the best he could do in the matter of collegiate honors was to
nnatpgfce the All-Southeastern Conference team.
The moon-faced Krouse is another example of a player who had
to jump from college to the professionals to get his just due. Six feet
'--- three inches and 250 solid pounds, Krouse didn’t gather many collegi
„ ; at» lgurels either.
But he was Owen’s number two pick in the professional draft of
the college stars last year.
_ “And it was one of the best choices I ever made.” Stout Steve
* alierted. “He’s a great one, this boy, and wait and see how he goes
- now that he has his feet on the ground."
v .. With pro football also using the two platoon system, Krouse is
ni.played principally on defense. There he is a tough man to fool and
■ ;* driver who really racks ’em up.

. The pro offensive stars are finding it Just as difficult.
. 'There are many widely-heralded former college aces performing in
the Pro league this season. But ask the coaches and they’ll tell you that

Two Biggest Names In
Pro Grid Meet Sunday
CLEVELAND (IP) The Chicago
Bears, who claim practically every
all-time professional football rec
ord, play their first official tame
with the “upstart” Cleveland. Browns
Sunday and each side is spoiling
for a victory.
Although the Bears have been
beaten twice by Cleveland in ex
hibition games, the Browns realize
that Coach George Halas regards
exhibition games as just that. They
expect the book to be thrown at
them in their first National Foot
ball League contest with the Chica
go club.
And the Browns want badly to
beat the Bears, the “old” NFL pres
tige team with the most league
titles, most division titles, most
games won and a host of other
“most” marks.
Cleveland also wants to drop the
Bears out of their National con
ference tie with the Los Angeles
Rams because the Browns would
rather play the Rams on the coast
for the NFL title because of net ter
weather and a bigger stadium.
LIONS MOVE UP TO TOP
The Detroit Lions moved into a
first place tie with the Bears and
Rams in the National Conference
yesterday by defeating the Green
Bay Packers, 52 to 35. It was De
troit’s highest single-game total,
bettering the 49 points they scored
.against the New York Yanks Nov.
23.
The Bean and Rams have 6-2
records, while the Lions have a 6-
2-1 mark. The Browns, with seven

Baker-Henry Fight

NEW YORK (W Unbeaten

Angeles will fight tonight in
Madison Square Garden for the No.

tenders.
The winner of their television
10-rounder will be ranked just be

Louis has been shunted aside.
Matchmaker A] Weill said he
would try to pair the winner with
ex-champion Charles in January

Baker was favored at 9-5 because
he will out-weigh Henry about 215

Each Team Has
Won 17 Games,
Tied 3 Times
By REESE DANIEL
(United Press Sports Writer)
DURHAM. (IP) lnjury-shot
Duke and defeat-weary North Caro
lina will rev up all they have left
tomorrow for one of the longest
and bitterest football rivaries in
the nation.
The 38th annual scrap will be
played before a sell-out crowd of
50,000. Both teams will start the
season’s finale with unimpressive
records, but the odds-makers give
Duke a seven-point edge.
Tan Heel wingback Bob Gantt
and mocking back George Foti will
be on the sidelines with injuries
and Duke halfback Charlie Smith
is not expected to play.
What scoring drive North Caro
lina has left apparently will come
from quarterbackk Allen Mueller,
who appeared for the first time
against Notre Dame. That was the
first time this season that North
Caroina has looked good.
Duke has the edge in the back
field with a starting lineup that will
include freshman sensation Jerry
Barger. Jack Kistler, Worth Lutz
and Red Smith.
NO GIANT KILLERS
The game will be a far cry from
the days when conference cham
pionships and fat bowl bids awaited
the winner, but that hasn’t scuttled
any of the feeling between the
neighboring schools. Both count a
victory over the other as a perfect

MIAMI —(IP)— Two University of

Officials of the Jacksonville bowl
have conceded that Clemson may

The "Victory Bell” will be riding

Fans Os Kentucky
Cry For Gridcast
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —(IP)— Action
from the federal government to lift
the television “blackout” of tomor
row’s Tennessee-Kentucky football
game was demanded today by Gov.
Laurence Wetherby of Kentucky.
In a telegram to U. S. Atty. Gen
J. Howard McGrath, Wetherby
said, “I am convinced this suppres
sion amounts to an illegal con
spiracy and restraint, and demand
action by the anti-trust division.”
The game between Sugar-Bowl
bound Tennessee and Cotton-Bowl
bound Kentucky is not included in
the National Collegiate Athletic
Assn.’s program of games to be
televised this season in a nation
wide test of the effect of television
on attendance at games.
Numerous high public officials,

CALLS FOR PROBE
WASHINGTON HP—Sen. Herbert
R. O’Conor (D-Md) offered today
to bet Sen. Estes Kefauver <D-
Tenn) a barrel of Chesapeake Bay
oysters against a coonskin cap on
the Maryland-Tennessee Sugar
Bowl football game Jan. 1.
O’Conor, who succeeded Kefauv
er as chairman of the Senate Crime
Committee during its closing days,
admitted that "a wager on the out
come would hardly be proper” since
the committee took such a “positive
position” against gambling.
He nevertheless offered to make
one in a letter to Kefauver. He
said he felt so strongly about the
superiority” of undefeated Maryland
that he thought “a small and
friendly wager over the outcome
might be permissible.”
FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER
VMI Tokes Over Top Spot In Southern
Conference; Maryland Has Swell
Chance To Tie For Top Saturday
RALEIGH. an Southern
Conference football moves Into its
final full-scale day tomorrow with
Maryland committed to a Sugar
Bowl appearance, and seeking a
tie for the Conference crown, and
the big question still unanswered.
VMI went into the Conference
lead yesterday with a 20-0 victory
over rival VPI in a traditional Tur
key-Day battle. But Maryland is
expected to grab a tie for the crown
tomorrow with an easy win over
weak West Virginia.
W. & L. trounced Richmond 39-7
in another SC game.
Was North Carolina’s 12 to 7 loss
to Notre Dame a good enough
showing to preserve the job of
Carl Snavely? If the screams of
Saturday’s fans carried any
weigTit, those final period stabs to
the Notre Dame three and 10 yard
lines, both threatening an upset
victory, constituted a good showing.
As for this weekend’s season
closing grudge match against Duke,
any surge of optimism that Sat
urday’s game may have generated
in fans hasn’t infected Snavely.
SUPREME EFFORT
"In order to approach this game
with anything resembling an even
chance,” he said, “our team will
have to be ready for a • supreme
effort as they were for the Notre
i NCAA to lift its television ban,
; without success. Their arguments
centered on the theme that the
game has already been sold out,
and thus television wouldn't affect
the attendance in any manner.
Because of the sellout and be
cause there are no other games in
this area which could be affected
by the television, director Victor
Sholis of the Louisville station call
ed the NCAA’s position “a fraud
against the public.”
