PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6 (IP) —Bud Dudley, enterprising' athletic director at Villanova
College, disclosed today he is knee deep in an attempt to organize a new football conference,
the “Northeastern Conference.” , ' .
Dudley, who introduced half time fashion shows and selling tickets with grocery pur
chases, described his effort to organize a new conference as “the salvation of independent
football colleges.”
The Villanova official w<
Fordham, Holy Cross, Viliam
Boston University. He expressed
the opinion that all these insti
tutions had mutual football prob
lems that could be ironed out
with the formation of a new con
ference.
“I believe that the formation of
a conference including these
schools would double the interest
in football at the colleges, double
the publicity on their games, elim
inate schedule - making difficul
ties, cut down overhead expenses
and create standard rules and eli
gibility codes,” said Dudley.
“Why I think we’re almost
forced to organize, what with all
the post-season bowl games being
tied up by various conferences,”
he said.
“Only the Sugar Bowl and half
of the Cotton Bowl are open to
eastern teams at the ' moment.
And believe me, a bid to a major
bowl takes any college football
financial program off the hook.”
Such a conference, he weht <Dn,
would eliminate one of the big
gest headaches an, independent
college athletic director must face
—schedule-making.
. Dudley said that John Curley,
athletic director at Boston Col
lege; John Coffey, head athletic
man at Fordham and Buff Don
elli, Boston U. coach had expressed
definite interest in the proposed
conference.
“We may have some trouble
with a few of the schools I have
named because I know several of
them still have faint hopes of
cracking the Ivy League. I doubt
very much if they can do it. Any
way, after,the season is over I
plan to call a preliminary meet
ing in New York to talk over the
conference idea. I’m hoping some
thing can be worked out.”
Dudley said he would like to
have an eight or 10 team confer
ence'-playing seven or eight games
within the ranks and one or two
with outside opponents. “Brother,
would that cut down travel ex
penses . .

The eight-ball, say its inventory, will eventually replace the crystal
ball in football predicting.

ON FORDHAM
Head Coach Eddie Danowski will field a pretty good ball club
at Beaver Field this afternoon—nothing like the Fordham Rams of
old, but a team that is capable of giving anybody a rough Saturday
afternoon,
For the Rams are heading back to the big time' and this 1953
edition is reportedly the stepping stone. At least that’s claim of
school officials who dream of seeing the Rams once more the feared
power of the East. That’s the way it was back in the late ’2o’s and
’3o’s when men like all-Americans Alex Wojciechowicz and Ed
Franco were writing the headlines for the New York sports writers.
The Rams were ihe king-pins then and ihe Polo Grounds
were packed every Saturday. For over a decade Fordham had 1 the
rule of ihe East. Under Frank Cavanaugh (1927-32) and Jim Crow
ley (1933-411 Fordham teams piled up 89 wins against 24 losses
and 11 ties. Three of ihese ties came against Doc Sutherland's Pitt
powerhouses. The two schools battled to 0-0 ties for three consecu
tive years, 1935, 36 and 37.
Then came the war and the university dropped football. After
the peace was signed school officials made a gallant attempt to bring
back the sport, but failed to match their pre-war success. _
In 1946 and 1947 the Rams were the doormats of the East—a
pathetic comparison to the bone-crushing teams that once roamed
undaunted over opponent after opponent. . \
Conditions failed to improve and discouraged officials were
ready to throw in the towel and give up football completely. How
ever, under Danowski, who was once a great back at the school,
improvements began to show.
Finally, after nearly dropping the game, the administration
completely changed its policy and began to plan for bigger and
better Fordham teams. Penn State, Syracuse and Miami were added
-o the schedule this year and Pitt is slated for next season.
What-was more surprising, the Rams almost upset the Orange
and smothered Miami 20-0. Once again Fordham has become a prom
inent eastern team. Th<i Lambert trophy committee rates it eighth
in the East this week.'
So ihe Lions will not find a breather in this battle at Beaver
Field today. Danowski sports a fine quarterback in Rodger Franz,
the number two passer in the East last year. He has a fine pair of
ends, a good sized line and 'a trio of runners who combine ade
quate power and speed. ' \
