Michigan State, the national thampion, is represented by two lwarts of its defensive unit— and The two teams, arrived in town yesterday, the Marines by bus from Miami and the Navy by plane from their base of opera- tions in Pensacola. Both teams immediately took to the Wickers Field greensward for light drills in preparation for tonight’s clash. It will be anybody’s ballgame when the undefeated Goshawks go up against the Marines who have given account of themselves in their first year of action on the Miami scene. Captain Frank Anderson, coach of the Barracudas was pessimi- stic last night as his charges pranced through signal drills at Wickers Field. “We are really @ Friday night,” . “We are going to have to use sixty minute men in at least four positions.” Ande: son, who gained his footbal perience at Harvard in 1941-2 and later coached there under Dick Harlow as late as 1947 said that he is not too happy about his chances of licking the un- beaten Navy men. One thing is certain, theugh, he has his boys trained down to razor sharpness for the clash. The clubs are just about evenly matched in the weight department with the Marines apparently having a slight edge in the backfield. The ballgame has attracted a goodly representation of brass to ‘rank Kush, guard, and Dick ‘amburo, line backer. Georgia Tech, the runner-up, placed Pete Brown at center on the offensive freee and vga Moorehead in ~AP All-America is based or and recommendations through the final games of Nov. .

(®—The minor leagues wind up their convention today after having adopted a new bonus law, passed the old high school rule, put in a waiver rule designed to hold on to their star players and voted down a proposal that would have revolutionized the entire structure of baseball. At the same time, the National American Leagues, on the eve of their official opening today, held separate meetings on television and radio rights which ended: un- satisfactorily with each league di- vided into two camps. The minors unanimously voted to accept the bonus ,ule proposed by the Executive Council that was de- signed to curb payments of $25,000 to $100,000 to untried youngsters. It must, however, be ratified by the major leagues at their joint meeting next Sunday to become effective. The rule designates as a “bonus player” any free agent who has received in excess of $4,000 from a Class A club and up, or $3’000 from a Class B club or one of lower classification. The majors are per- mitted to pay $5,000 in salary and bonuses. A major league bonus player must be kept two years. A minor league bonus player can- not be moved up for a year, at the end of which time he becomes subject to unrestricted draft. A major league club violator can be fined $2,000. A minor league violation costs the club $1,000. The individual responsible could also be fined $500. Ud navavy Photo} The high school rule permits the teeth in the above picture.
