Rose Bowl Tie For Big Nine
Chicago, May 18—(U.P.)-The Big Nine probably will act this week to declare the Eastern berth in football's Rose Bowl classic a closed shop for another two years.
The Rose Bowl will be one of the three major problems confronting the faculty representatives at a meeting beginning tomorrow. The original agreement, calling for the Pacific Coast conference champion to meet a Big Nine-designated team in the Rose Bowl, provided that a Big Nine school must be selected during the first three years of the pact. After that, the Big Nine could choose a non-member of its conference to represent it.
The third year ended this January 1 when Northwestern beat California, 20 to 14.
Conference representatives are expected to decide this week on policy for the 1949 season, at least, and there was little doubt they would vote to send a Big Nine team again.
"If we leave it open," a conference spokesman said, "we might have all sorts of shouting next fall if some Eastern team or Southern team comes up with a good record. If we say now that a conference team is going again, that's it."
The provision that no one Big Nine team can compete twice in three years will remain. This eliminates only Michigan and Northwestern as possible entrants this year.

Boudreau Says League Hurlers Use 'Bean Ball'
New York. May 18—(U.R.) Al-ready hit four times this infant season. Manager Lou Boudreau of the Cleveland Indians today accused rival American League clubs of deliberately throwing the dangerous and outlawed "bean ball."
"There is a lot of throwing at the batters," Boudreau insisted, "and it should be stopped before someone is injured seriously—or worse."
The "worse" would be death, such as came to Ray Chapman, a brilliant shortstop who two decades ago played for the Indians in the same spot Boudreau now holds. Chapman was felled by a ball thrown by Carl Mays of the Yankees.
"I haven't been hit in the last couple of days," Boudreau joked. "But actually it isn't a laughing matter and there's a lot of it."
The Indian manager twice was hit on the elbow, by Orval Grove of the Chicago White Sox and Ray Scarborough of the Washington Senators; on the head and shoulder of Virgil Trucks of Detroit, and on the hand by Harry Dorish of the Boston Red Sox.
Boudreau admitted that it is a good part of baseball strategy to drive a batter back when he crowds the plate.
the plate.
"Naturally, there is a place for tight pitching," he said. "And I don't mind them forcing me back when the pitch comes in from the shoulder down."
But when they start to aim at the head it is a different matter."
Adding weight to Boudreau's contention, Pittsburgh shortstop Stan Roijek was hospitalized three weeks ago with a concussion when struck just under the ear by a ball thrown by Cardinal Pitcher Ken Johnson.
And it was the second time in the game that Rojek had been struck, indicating suspiciously poor control for a major league hurler.
Boudreau agreed that both President Will Harridge of the American league and Ford Frick, head of the National league, should take immediate steps to clamp down and stop such pitching.
"I was crowding the plate," Rojek admitted later.
The major league rule calls for one warning. After that it is suspension for 10 days and then for 30 days.

KU Wins From Arkansas 8 To 4 To Even Series
Kansas evened the two-game series with Arkansas and handed left-handler Loren Hepler his first win of the season with an 8 to 4 victory over the Razorbacks Tuesday at Fayetteville.
Hepler was touched for eleven hits but settled down after a slow start and held the Southwest conference club to one run in the last seven innings. He was given good support by his teammates who committed!
The Jayhawkers, trailing 0 to 3 after four innings, tied it up in the fifth and sixth and scored five more runs in the last three innings. K.U. collected nine hits off Harold Cox, Arkansas lefthander, and took advantage of seven bases on balls and five Razorback errors.
The victory was K.U.'s 10th of the season in 18 games, and their second in four non-conference games. Coach Bill Hogan's club meets Colorado here Friday and Saturday, and Kansas State at Manhattan May 23 and 24. The Jayhawkers must win at least three of the four games to win the conference championship.
