Quarterback Gil Ladana of the
United States Merchant Marine
Academy is a player who likes to
take his football wherever he
goes.
When his ship went out to sea
this summer and docked in Eng
land, he had a soccer player catch
his passes. In Bucsnos Aires, his
receiver was a stevedore.
But when the ship put into port
in India, Ladana could not per
suade any of the longshoremen to
catch with him. He was told:
“Sorry Sahib. We all Moslems.
No touch pigskin.”

Two Hospitalized from
Philly Gridders’ Brawl

Texas is rated as the number
one team in the country in the As
sociated Press poll. The Long
horns have won nine straight
games this season. With only one
game left on the regular schedule,
Texas is hopeful of finishing the
season unbeaten and untied. If this
happens, it will mark the first time
the Longhorns have accomplished
this feat since 1920.

Packers-Bears Deadlock
NEW YORK l/Pi — National Foot
ball League Commissioner Pete
Rozelle has announced 11 different
playoff possibilities if his league’s
regular season ends with ties for
first place.
If the Chicago Bears and Green
Bay Packers deadlock for first
place in the Western Conference,
they will play in Green Bay on
Dec. 22. Chicago currently leads
Green Bay by one half game.
The Eastern Conference pre
sents ten different possibilities in
volving four versions of triple ties,
and six different combinations of
possible two-way ties. Cleveland,
St. Louis, New York and Pitts
burgh could be involved.
If a triple tie results, the league
championship game will be pushed
back one week to Sunday, Jan. 5.
That game will be played in the
home city of the Western Confer
ence winner.
Cleveland, New York and St.
Louis are now tied for first place
in the East, and Pittsburgh is one
game back. All have three games
to play.
Roezlle said the possibility of a
four-way tie is so remote it is not
being considered at this time.
