New York-ttlPll-The Gotham
Bowl will not be staged this
year, it was announced today
by Robert M. Ready, execu
tive director of the game.
Ready said that the game,
scheduled to be held at Yan
kee Stadium Dec. '10, was
called off because his group
could not "secure two teams
of major calibre." However,
he added that the game, will
be held next year in New
York.
Oregon State had accepted
a bid to the Gotham Bowl
earlier this week but Ready
and his associates were un
able to line up an opponent
for the West Coast team.
After every possibility was
exhaustedly investigated and
explored, I have regretfully
decided to postpone New
York's first scheduled Bowl
game," Ready said in a pre
pared statement. '"We expect
to hold the Gotham Bowl
game in December, 1961.
"Every effort was extend
ed and every contact utilized
to secure a major attraction
for the . . . contest. We were
determined to launch our
Bowl and have worked un
ceasingly to achieve this de
sire. We have tried ... to se
cure two teams of a major

record to play herel"

There were no indications tributes which he likes to see
whether the high hopes enter
tained by Frick at the start of
the first mcefing would be
justified. Frick, a long-time
advocate of "orderly expan

suade the American and Na
tional leagues to cooperate
with each other.
"I want a rule we can live
with for some time," he said.
"I want to work out a form
ula that will be good in 1962
as well as in 1061."
Thei'e are two problems:

blocked the American league

loyalty to oneself, the team,
the coach - and the school
above the other attributes and
pointed to the need for un
to Crater having a young ball
club, and commented that
with a few breaks the team
would have had a much more
successful season. Caliber of
