Cotton Bowl Tilt To Feature Most 'All' Footballers DALLAS, Dec. 21 UP) The Cotton Bowl won't have teams with the best season records among the major bowl games Jan. 2 but It can boast the most All-Americas. In fact, it will have as many as the other bowl games com bined. . There will be two fellows of the mythical team variety playing against each other here when Rice tangles with North Carolina. The big man of the Owls (not in size but in ability) is James (Froggy) Williams, that talent ed pass-catcher, defensive tower and adept place-kicker. The headliner of North Caro lina will be Charlie Justice, a fellow who has been in the public eye for four years, two of which he has been All-America. All other bowl games combined have two All-Americas. California, which plays Ohio State in the run for the roses at Pasadeiva (the Rose Bowl), boasts Rod Franz, All-America guard. Oklahoma, Which plays Loui siana State in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, has Wade Walker, All-America tackle. The Cotton Bowl game definite ly will be the last for both Wil liams and Justice. Each has de clared he will not enter pro foot ball. Williams - says he isn't big enough (185). Justice is a little fellow, too. He weighs just 167. Prep Gridder Scores 257 Points During One Season RISING STAR, Tex. (IF) Buck Gibson knows a thing or two about running with a foot ball. He scored 257 points during the season.. But tho amazing thing about the Rising Star High school flash is that ho averaged more than 17 yards every time he carried the Dan. Gibson sparked Rising Star to an undefeated, untied season. In fact, the team has a consecutive winning streak of 29 games which started in October of 1947. It is pointed out that Gibson doesn't do anything except run no passing or punting or anything else. But, it also Is pointed out that the college coaches want Gibson. About 90 percent of its asbestoi" Is imported from Canada by the United States.

UP) Fullback Ralph Ruthstrom, who tried to get the Washington Red skins to pay him $4,100 for a sea son In which he didn't play, wound up by being tackled behind his own goal line. Federal District Judge David A. Pine yesterday ordered him to pay the Redskins $241.80. That's what the Redskins had asked for in a counter suit. They said they had advanced Ruth strom some money, and that lie was $241.80 shy in paying it back. Ruthstrom's argument was this: He said he had been suspended by the Redskins in 1947, and that he couldn't get another fullback ing job because of the so-called reserve clause. This clause it's used in base ball as well as pro football con tracts says a player can't sign with another club until he is given a written release. The Redskins, Ruthstrom argu ed, wouldn't give him this release. But National Football league Commissioner Bert Bell, In a 54 page deposition, said many play ers had gone over to the All-America- conference - w 1 1 h o u t -bothering to get a formal release.
