Pro Grid League
Lists Schedule
Philadelphia, Jan. 24 W.R)
National-American league pro
fessional football teams today
set on a 12-game schedule for
1950 as their organizational meet
ing ended on a note of lingering
frustration,
The 13 league clubs hurdled
the major barrier to a schedule
last night when they finally
agreed on a division into two cir
cuits with Philadelphia, Cleve
land, the New York Giants, Pitts
burgh, the Chicago Cardinals and
Washington in one; the New
York Bulldogs, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Detroit, Green Bay
and the Chicago Bears in the oth
er; and Baltimore as the "swing
team."
Commissioner Bert Bell will
make up the schedule, within the
next month, and it was learned
that he favored this arrangement:
Each member of the two divi
sions will play 10 games within
its division, a home-and-home se
ries with each of the other mem
bers. Then It will play one game
against Baltimore, the "swing
team," and one game against a
"natural rival."

in a sluggish game in which
neither teem could seem to find
the basket. Idaho made only
four field goals in the first half
and wasted seven minutes of
the second half before getting
another. In addition Idaho
missed 15 out of 26 free throws.
Oregon State was even worse
from the free throw line, miss
ing 15 out of 23. But the Beav
ers stayed ahead all the way by
getting more baskets from the
floor. Oregon State led at half
time 19-11.
The Vandals' rusty playing
may have been due in part to
the fact that the game was their
first conference contest in 16
days. '

they reported. Including one man
who was driving around nnd
around the block, waiting for
his wife to come out of a store.
The man made a contribution
each time around the bldck, they

The donations are still being

be in three figures. These dona

Ketchikan Suffering
From Wafer Shortage
Ketchikan, Alaska, Jan. 24
(U.R) This fishing town, which
boasts one of the wettest annual
rainfalls in the world, still suf
fered from an acute water short
age today.
Most Ketchikan residents went
to church Sunday and prayed for
rain. When no rain came. Father
Gerald Morin of the Catholic
church was asked to comment.,
"These things do not work like
a slot machine," Father Morin
said. "We can only pray and
hope."
The weather bureau could give
no solace. Its forecast called for
more cold, clear weather.
But oldtimers at the fish
wharf offered their wisdom.
They said the cold, dry spell
would continue until the next
full mon on February 2.
