the four-year professional football
war over conflict that look Its
toll In dollars and teems the 13
surviving organisations today looked
to solving tha problems of a new
league.
The combination of the venerable
National football league and the
upstart All - America conference
came with startling suddenness in
Philadelphia yesterday, after ft 48
hour conference.
Tlie two loopa merged Into the
National-American football league.

The merger la more or less
victory for the NKL, which for
several yeara has refused flatly to
recognise the younger circuit. All
members of the NPL axe in the new
league. Only three teams of the
AAC-Ban Pranclsco, Cleveland and
Baltimore survived.
TWO DIVISIONS
The 13 teams will be formed Into
Amerlcsn and National divisions,

what It lacked for the past four

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 10 UP)
Some 39 national track and field
records are up for approval today
at the (1st annual convention ot the
Amateur Athletic union of the
United States.
The dekgstes also will decide be
tween three candidates for the AAU
presidency.
The long list of track and field
pt rformances submitted for recogni
tion embrsced men's American out
door and indoor marks; senior men's
Indoor and outdoor records; Junior
men's outdoor and practically the
same category In the women's division.
One record, the too meter relay
time of 1:24 set last May 20 by the
University of Southern California
team, waa recommended for accept
ance yesterday by the track and
field committee. Such a recommen
dation is tantamount to acceptance.
with formal approval to come from
the national records board of the
AAU.

new record of M2 seconds for both I

held up yesterdsy to permit further
check on the wind velocity which
prevailed at the time It was made
laat aprlng. Application for a 200
meter record of 20J seconds by
Lloyd La Beach of Panama was dis
allowed because La Beach was timed
in 303 seconds for 220 yards In the
seme race. The AAU does not rec
ognize alternate times for Inter
mediate distances in events which
are less than one-eighth of a mile.
Sharp arguments took place last
night and today In various caucuses
as the 246 delegates tried to agree
upon a candidate to succeed Mayor
J pines A. Rhodes of Columbus, Ohio,
retiring prexy. The term Is for two
years.
Reports first had Al Whet tie of

Harry McDevltt ot Philadelphia also

in some quarters.

was a big win for Villemain, a 3
to 1 underdog In the betting.
That squared accounts for the
26-year-old Parisian who licked
Jake In the garden last March but
lost the decision. The verdict, one
of the rankest In years, resulted In
the suspension of the two officials
who voted for LaMotta.
"I want LaMotta to fight me for
the championship now," said the
smiling Viliemain after his victory.
"I won the last time, too, but this
time I get the decision. I am very
happy to win. I will bring back the
championship for my country and
Marcel Cerdan."
If Eddie Eagan, chairman of the
New York state athletic commis
sion, hss his way, Villemain will get
the next shot at LaMotta.
Before the fight, Eagan, a fluent
speaker of Prench, told the gladi
ators: "This Isn't a championship fight.
Whether there will be a return bout
for the title depends' on the out
come of this fight."
And there's no doubt that Eagan
feels that a Frenchman should get
the first chance because of Cerdan.
It was from Cerdan that LaMotta
won the crown In Detroit last June.
Cerdan was to have met the stocky
New Yorker for the title December
I but went to a tragic death in a
plane crash while en route to this
country in October.
His June fight was the last one
LaMotta had before yesterday.
Jake showed the lack ot work.
He was rusty with his swings, glow
afoot and tired quickly.
