TUESDAY, SEPT 21.1948 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE Zale Slight Favorite To Keep Title Tonight Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 21—(UP)—Champion Tony Zale and Marcel Cerdan, gold-toothed French mauler, were scheduled to match their dynamite and durability tonight in a 15-round bout for the world middleweight crown at Roosevelt stadium. The weather forecast of "fair and cool" indicated that the schedule would be carried out. Despite rumors that a "flood" of midwestern money was being planked down on Zale of Gary, Ind., the betting price had lengthened only half a point in 24 hours. Zale was favored at 8 to 5 today. Yesterday the quotation was $7 \frac{1}{2}$ to 5. Wagering was heavy, and the French challenger from Casablanca, Morocco, was well supported; for the bout shaped up as the best brawl now in any division. Zale will receive a guarantee of $120,000; Cerdan, a guarantee of $40,000. The ex-sailors worked for much less during the war when Lieber Tony was in the U.S. Navy and Marcel was in the Free-French fleet. Despite the betting enthusiasm and the bout's international glamor, Promoter Andy Niederreiter did not expect the crowd to exceed 25-000. He hoped for a gate of $300,000; but many skeptics doubted that it would reach $250,000. Both Zale and the promoter are protected against the 160-pound title going abroad permanently should Cerdan upset the champ. Their contract provides for a return bout within six months. Grid Giants Play Saturday New York, Sept. 21-(UP)-Football teams which used to sit politely in the background until after the World Series, cast that idea as old-fashioned this season and were set today to capture a few headlines of their own in an unprecedented heavy array of early season games. In every section of the nation this weekend there are top flight college football games involving teams with national championship aspirations. It would be hard to single out the top game of the day but that Navy-California · clash at Baltimore probably gets the nod over such other standouts as Army-Villanova, Notre Dame-Purdue, Texas-North Carolina, Minnesota - Washington and North Carolina State-Duke. In past that sort of a gridiron menu wouldn't be presented until mid-October or later. The Texas Longhorns, who had power to spare in a 33 to 0 rout of Louisiana State, may find the going considerably tougher when they go to Chapel Hill to play the North Carolina Tarheels, sparked by the South's most distinguished halftback. Charley (Choo Choo) Justice. Minnesota, tabbed as the team to beat in the Big Nine conference, opens with its annual intersectional game against Washington in the Pacific Northwest while Notre Dame's national champion Irishmen play Purdue, another Big Nine eleven that is supposed to be in the terrific category. In the pass-happy Southwest the top games include Baylor-Tulsa, Oklahoma A & M-Texas Christian, Rice-Sam Houston; and Texas A & M-Texas Tech.
