Regents To Act On Georgia Governor Segregation Plea
ATLANTA, Ga. (U.P.) The state Board of Regents meets in special session today to act on Gov. Marvin Griffin's request that Georgia Tech be barred from playing against Pittsburgh's Negro fullback in the Sugar Bowl.
Sources close to the governor predict the board will make a compromise under which Georgia Tech will play in the New Orleans bowl Jan. 2 but that Tech and the University of Georgia would be prohibited from playing non-segregated opponents in the future.

Baseball Leagues Hold Meetings
CHICAGO —(U.F.)— Baseball's American and National League club owners conduct their annual midwinter meetings today and there's a lot more going on than appears on the innocent-looking agendas.
Although Commissioner Ford Frick has warned against any more expansion talk, or at least "harmful publicity" about it, the two leagues will keep right on discussing how to acquire those lucrative franchises in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
The ultimate goal—and there is no secret about it—is to establish one-team major league cities.
