West Team Expected Flash Aerial Attack Bible Squad Outweighed on Line Predict East Will Use Line Line Smashes. San Francisco Straight football In the annual East-West game here New Year's day was predicted by fee t ball followers after coaches of both teams admitted there was little possibility of grooming the squads for intricate maneuvers. Observers also hinted they expect ed the West team, outweighed on the line, to flash an aerial attack. The easterners, with their strong line, and Bill Moron of Dartmouth con sidered as a major threat, are ex pected to perfect line smash plays for their offense. Christmas day meant little to the rlayers, aside from a turkey dinner, as the continued rainy weather has prevented much practice. So far, both East and West teams have done limbering exercises most of the time. A promise of clearing weather, how ever, led the coaches to hope they would be able to put in six days of intensive practice before the game. While lineups have been announc ed by the coaches, sports followers predicted that Bud Toscani, St Mary's backfield ace. or Mason of Southern California university, would be slated to start for the West team The possibility that the game may resolve itself into a punting duel, if weather conditions bring a slpppy field for the game, was seen when coaches of both teams indicated they were well satisfied with the kicking talent of the respective squads.

Cincinnati A man reported seen bearing a bundle toward, the tene ment cellar. in which was found the mutilated body of Marian Mclyean, six. was sought as the degenerate who caused her death. The clue to the possible identity of the child's kidnaper-slayer, came irom a woman who told police she heard two men in a cigar store discussing tne inci dent. " Search for the two was begun immediately. The story added credence to the theory that the child was attacked elsewhere and then tossed on the cellar floor either sortly before or shortly after she nad bled to deatn from internal wounds. Questioning of James Devenney, forty, Charles Hischoff, forty-five, and Dennis De laney, forty-four, was continued, but all of them said they had no knowl edge that would help solve the slay ing.
