Pension Plan Squabble Comes to Boil Today
New York—(U.P.) -Baseball's big league club owners were expected to drop today, like the "hot potato" it has become, the whole idea of wiping out the players' pension program.
The final word on the controversy that has introduced a note of discord into the major leagues' annual meeting was to come from a joint meeting of the American and National league owners regarding the proposal of the game's executive committee that the pension plan be scrapped.
It was learned that the American league owners would vote to keep the pension program. Whether National league owners would follow suit was not known.
But, should a deadlock arise, it is virtually certain that commissioner Ford Frick will rule in favor of keeping the plan. For one thing, Frick has stated positively several times during the past week that he favors pensions. For another, he said when appointed commissioner mat he would settle deadlocks by voting in favor of "no change."
Though the owners are expected to maintain the "status quo" as regards pensions, there is no indication that they intend to grant the players any of the demands they made for larger pension payments and for lowering the starting pension age from 50 to 45.
Also slated for settlement today are demands by the players for a boost in the minimum salary from $5,000 to $7,500, an increase in the meal allowance, and other items.
Banquet Tonight To Honor Gridders
The Jayhawker football team will be honored tonight at a banquet in the Student Union, which will start at 6:30 p.m.
Sponsored by the Downtown Quarterbacks, it is expected to draw about 350 persons. One of the outstanding events will be the awarding of the Ormand Beach award, which is given each year to the player voted by the team as its outstanding player. Bernie Bierman, former Minnesota football coach, will be the speaker.
J. V. Sikes, resigned coach, said the usual banquet announcement of the next year's captain would not be made this year. Sikes said he would leave the matter up to the new coach.

Only two "A" games were played yesterday, both in the Fraternity division, as intramural basketball entered its second day of the season. Sigma Nu and Kappa Sigma were the victors in two low scoring contests.
Weird Scores In IM Games
Sigma Nu got off to a flying start to lead 14 to 6 at halftime. The Sig Alphos outscored them 7-5 in the second half but couldn't dump in enough points for a victory.
Bud Bixler was high point man for the losers with seven, and Don Humphreys and Bill Rich made four each to pace the winners.
Sigma Nu 19, SAE 13
Kappa Sig 57. Phi Kappa Tau 2
Don Stewart and Ed Chimenti made 13 points each to lead Kappa Sig to a 57-2 victory over an inaccurate Phi Kappa Tau quintet, Kappa Sig led 27-0 at halftime as the losers couldn't find the range.
Leland Duvall made a field goal in the second half for the only Phil Tau score.

New York —(U.P.)— The national title hopes of two highly-touched teams, North Carolina State and St. Louis, were rocked yesterday by surprise defeats.
North Carolina State, perennial champion of the old Southern conference, had been favored to dominate the new Atlantic Coast conference this season. But last night the Wolfpack suffered an emphatic 81-69 upset at the hands of Wake Forest, led by hook-shot artist Dickie Hemic.
The smooth-working, high-scoring St. Louis outfit was handed one of its rare home-court defeats by an Ohio State team led by Paul Ebert, 84 to 83.
The 6-4 Ebert, a third team UP all-American selection last season, sank 26 points in pacing Ohio State to its victory.
Wake Forest, playing at home, trailed the Wolfpack, 39-32, at half-time in their conference game. But the Deacons surged back to take the lead in the third period as soph Lowell Davis sank 10 points in that frame and then easily outdistanced the nation's No. 8 ranked team in the fourth quarter.
Hemric, hooking with either hand from either side of the basket, wound up with a 30-point total for Wake Forest and Davis added 22. Dick Tyler had 17 for State, which suffered its first loss in three games.
All-American Lattner 'Lucky to Have Teeth'
New York —(U,P) —Johnny Lattner, everybody's all-American halfback from Notre Dame, figures he is a "very lucky guy."
On hand to receive the Heisman memorial award as the outstanding college football player of 1953, the big fellow with the Huckleberry Finn grin and the ham-like hands, proved himself a tower of competent modesty.
"I figure I'm lucky to win an award like this because after making a lot of all-Americas last year I was afraid I'd be a bust this year," he said. "I'm lucky to beat out Paul Giel of Minnesota, who is a really wonderful football player. And I'm lucky to have all my front teeth."
That last, in itself, is a tremend.
ous accomplishment for a Notre Dame football player.
But, while times may have changed a bit at Notre Dame where, Lattner explained, they now use rubber teeth guards like boxers, the calibre of their men hasn't. Lattner, all 6-2 and 195 pounds of him, is a real all-American.
He proved that as he complimented his various opponents.
"Giel is a really great back," he said in obvious wonderment that he had been selected over the Minnesota man. "Why, we had a backfield which was about equal, man for man. When we had a bad day, all of us shared the blame. When Minnesota had a bad day, Giel took the blame."
