Associated Press Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27—{/P
Evening shadows were creeping in
over Kezar stadium today and just
lour minutes were left to play when
Bus Mills University of Oklahoma
backfield ate. sent a place kick spin-
ning through the cross bars to give
the West a stunning 3-0 victory over
the East in the annual football clas-
sic played here for charity.
Deadlocked in a struggle as titan-
ic as the cause it is played for the
two teams composed of former east- j
crn and western college stars had
fought on even terms until a score-
less tie appeared certain.
The western warriors had gamed
possession of the ball deep in eastern
territory. On three downs they
bucked the oval from the twenty
yard line to eleven yards from goal.
With one yard to go and one down
10 make it a place kick was called
and Mills was selected for the job.
With Johnny Kitzmiller of the 1
University of Oregon holding the ;
ball. Mills stepped back and toed it
to its mark while 52.000 persons
roared thetr approval.
Soon after the gun ended one of
the hardest fought games witnessed
since this annual encounter was in-
augurated in 1925.
Atkins of Texas Christian Univer-
sity started the game at center; !
Koch of Baylor at right guard and
Wilson of Baylor at quarterback i
Long of Southern Methodist and
Shelley of Texas entered the game
as substitutes.
Outplaying their opponents the
Easterners had one chance to score
! in the first period but failed when
Gantenbein. end. was hauled down j
i from behind. He had caught a pass I
! from E. Baker quarterback but af-
ter running 46 yards was caught by .
Clark. Western halfback on the 10-
1 yard line.
In the second quarter. Frank Bak-
er. end from Northwestern snagged
a pass from Les Hart halfback
from Colgate over the Wests goal
line but failed to hold it long
j enough.
Hard tackling and great line plav
•featured the contest with both
teams resorting to kicks frequently.

DRIVEN HARD
Southwest Stars Slow In
Showing Up in Dallas
For Annual Tilt
DALLAS D^ 27—</T’ --Coach Bob
Zuppke of Illinois had only one
worry as he .sent his squad of twen-
ty-three mid-west huskies through
their third practice today in pre-
paration for the Dixie classic here
New Year's day
The veteran Illini mentor who
said he was a ‘ Milwaukee Dutchman
and proud of It in a radio address
last night admitted he had not de-
cided who would quarterback hts
young glands against the southwest
all-stars in the charity engagement
Barring that one position he de-
clared his picked troops were readv
right now to show fans ci this
cap f inn o rs f fcw»tK>»n
Five Men Shine
Zuppke continued to drive his boys
hard today trying first one combi-
nation and then the other in an
effort to size up his leading candi-
dates. Five men stood out conspic-
uously in his backfield array. They
were Kissell Purdue; Deig. Mar-
quette; Storen. Detroit; Jensvold
Iowa and Malloy of Loyola <Chi-
cago i. Although none of the five
is a quarterback by trade. Zuppke
indicated he might draft one of them
for signal callmg duties
There is such a wealth of line
material on the mid-west squad that
Zuppke has as yet no idea what his
starting lineup will look like. Start-
ing Monday he said he would ad-
minister his training doses twice
daily including plenty of scrimmage
in order to find his standouts among
the forwards. He has a flock of
190 and 200-pounders from which
to choose.
Texans Are Lagging
The southwest squad meantime
continued to lag behind the invaders
in its training schedule. Coach
Morley Jennings still had only 16
men on hand today but the num-
ber will be augmented considerably
over the week-end. Buddy Hack-
man star University of Tennessee
halfback for three years and Leroy
Bethea. Florida university ace. were
the latest additions and four south-
west stars were expected to fly from
the coast Monday.
The decision of Jake Wilson. Bay-
lor flash to wing his way back from
the East-West fray in time to play
here assures the southwest eleven

IS NOT ENDED
American Association To
Reconsider Majors’
Draft Plan
BY PAt'L MICKELSON
Associated Press Sports Writer
CHICAGO Dec. 27—(A*)— The
draft peace pact between the major
leagues and the American Associa-
tion was tucked away in Commis-
sioner Kenesaw M. Landis’ official
files today and then hurriedly
Jerked out for more consideration.
George Muehlebach president of
the Kansas City Blues halted of-
ficial acceptance of the draft pro-
posal by demanding a special meet-
ing to reconsider the matter. Thom-
as Jefferson Hickey president of
the American Association acceded
to Muehlebachs demand although
no date for the special conference
was set.
Acceptance of the draft plan re-
cently was made by a mail vote
throughout the Amrriean Associa-
tion. Five clubs. Milwaukee St.
Paul. Columbus. Toledo and In-
dianapolis voted to accept while
the three other clubs—Louisville.
Kansas City and Minneapolis— .
rejected it.
Reconsideration Asked
Acting on the majority vote.
President Hickey formally filed no-
tice of acceptance with Comm;?- j
sioncr Landis who in turn advised
Ernest S. Barnard president of the
American league and official
spokesman for the majors in the
dispute. Barnard immedirtely no-
tified all major league clubs they
were free to resume player rela-
tions with the A. A. chibs.
Alter Muehlebachs protest and
Hickey’s request for reconsidera-
tion Barnard was forced to wire
major league clubs to disregard his
notice and to refrain from player
relations until further notice.
Muehlebach. one of the big
powers in American Association
circles explained he was rot set
: against the draft proposal but
that he opposed the way by which
the vote was taken
Another mail vote probably will
be taken to decide if an* when an-
■ other meeting will be held.
