PASADENA. Calif, Dec. Jl t"l
California' Bears are due for a
rough afternoon in the Rose Bowl
January 3 those Ohio State Buck
eyes are even nasty to each other.
Coach Wes Fesler put his club
through a socko scrimmage yester
day and the mayhem-minded Buck
eyes knocked themselves dixzy.
Three of the Bucks were side
lined In one five minute Interval.
Halfback Jerry KraU. top ground
gainer, hit the line on the second
play of the scrimmage and gave out
with a scream of agony. He com
plained of a pain In the ribs but
made it to the sidelines under his
own power.
Reserve Center Tom Rath was
knocked cold on the very next play.
He soon recovered.
Shortly thereafter. Fullback Curly
Morrison bumped his knee and
left the lineup.
Fesler said he didn't consider any
of the damages severe.

He said he had been suspended
by the Redskin in 1M7, and that
he couldnt gel another fullbacking
Job because of the so-called reserve
clause.
Thu clause It s used In baseball
as well as pro football contracts-
says a player can't sign with an
other club until he Is given a written
release.
The Red.skms. Ruths trom argued,
wouldn't give him this release.
But Nauonal Football league Com
missioner Bert Bell, in a M-page
deposition, said many players had
gone over to the All-America con
ference without bothering to get a
formal release.
Furthermore, Bell contradicted
earlier testimony by Ruttutrom in
which he had said he had appealed
to the commissioner.
Bell said he hadn't. It he had.
Bell said, he would have made the
Redskins take Ruthstrom back or
make him a free agent.
George Preston Marshall, Red
skin owner, told the Jury that Ruth
strom was a "bitter disappointment"
to the team. He repeatedly broke
training, Marshall said, and never
lived up to the standards the Red
skins had set up.
Judge Pine. In handing down a
directed verdict, said he thought
the caje boiled down to this:
1. Was it a legal contract?
3. Did the plaintiff. Ruthstrom,
fulfill his part of the contract?
3. It he was dissatisfied, why
didnt he file a proper appeal to
the commissioner?
He then directed that Ruthstrom
pay up the $241.80.

Please remember many calls will be delayed
Here are some facts you should know.. . Christmas Eve
and Day is everybody's favorite time for calling the folks
back home... and we'll do our level best to put through as
many calls as we possibly can. But in spite of all we can
do, lines will be crowded... calls will stack up. ..and some
of our telephone customers are bound to be disappointed.
We'll be on duty to serve you
Every available switchboard will
be in service. Thousands of tele
phone people will be on the job
all through the Christmas week
end, doing their best to get calls
through so that you may talk to
friends and relatives. We'll be
able to take care of a large part
of the demand for long distance
service because of careful, ad
vance planning and special cir
cuits. But the fact is: Long Dis
tance lines simply can't carry the
tremendous volume of traffic
originating at Christmas by far
our busiest time of the year. We
expect to be asked to put through '
more than three times as many
calls between distant points as on
a normal day.
Best time for greeting calls
Most calls before or after the
Christmas weekend will go
through while you hold the line.
But during this weekend ther
are apt to be delays, and we may
not be able to reach your party at
all. You may be sure that thou
Bands of Long Distance opera
tors will be doing their very best
all through the Holidays.
