NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-With the
Heisman Trophy in his luggage and
the memory of swell time in the
big town to carry through the dull
winter months, Davey OBrien went
back to Texas today to practice
little more football.
O'Brien received the trophy, given
annually by the Downtown A. c. to
the outstanding football player of
the year." at a dinner last night at

cluding many famous old-time foot
ball stars.
In the crowd were William H.

OF earlier years; Larry Kelley of
Yale, 1885 winner of the award; Asa
Bushnell, director of the Eastern In
tercollegiate Association; Julian
Curtiss, Judge Samuel E. Hoyt,
president of the Amateur Athletic
Union; Bill Langford, secretary of
the Football Rules Committee, and
many others.

Gould Put on Greatest
Air Show Of All Time.

There fellows all are terrific. They
belong with Gus Dorais, George
Gipp. Benny Friedman, Clint Frank,
Brick Muller, Red eagle, Barry
Wood, the great passers of all time.
If they could be herded together for
a passing contest this coming Sab
bath. it would be a passing contest
to end all passing contests-though,
naturally, a passer in action must
have qualities, like coolness, alert
ness, ability and gameness, that
mean nothing in a mere test of dis
tance and accuracy.
The Southwest gives the palm to
O'Brien, with Baugh a close second.
The pros maintain that no college
passer can match good pro passer.
The New York Giants and their
hackers hold that Eddie DanowsN is
second to none. They allow Luck
man to be the best of the collegians.
And out of the West, at the head
OF the powerful, teeth-gnashing
Packers, comes Comrade Curly Lam
beau with the fighting pronounce
ment that Herber is the greatest
passer who ever lived.
I sometimes think Comrade Lam
beau is right, remembering the
Herber of a couple of years ago.
Isbell Is about his equal now, but
1sbell never could wait all day like
Herber, shifting and side-slipping
around the backfleld, and then hit
his receiver in any part of the field
with the sort of shots that Herber
fired. Arnie is perhaps the greatest
natural thrower of them all. And
OBrien is not so far behind him, in
that one department. The rest of
the things Herber has, O'Brien will
have to acquire and he says he will
not play pro ball.
Meanwhile, I would rot care to
cross Col. Anon G. Carter's path
with this line of reasoning. The
colonel has very firm opinions. Once
I won buck from the colonel in a
weight-guessing contest and I think
I will just sit back and rest on my
laurels.

tendance totals and receipts for COL
lege football games played in Vir-
ginia this season showed but little
gain over 1887 despite the improved
records Of most Of the States teams.
Bad weather hurt all of the teams.
Five schools reported that larger
crowds turned out for their contests,
but these increases were offset by
slumps at v. M. l., Richmond and
Washington and Lee. usually among
the best home drawing cards.
Virginia's "big six champions set
the attendance pace with $4,000
persons attracted to ,000-capacity
Scott Stadium to witness four
clashes. This compares with 10000
persons who saw the Cavaliers play
five games in 1887.
Gain at Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech played to 10,848 per-
sons in three games at Blacksburg,
compared with 1887 for the same
number of home meetings in 1887.

New York Warns Up
To Battle for Pro
Football Title
10000 Tickets Sold
First Day They Are
Made Available
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. New York
fans, who looked upon pro football
most of the season merely as a
pleasant Sunday afternoon enter
tainment, have begun to get really
steamed up about their Giants and
next Sundays playoff with the
Green Bay Packers for the National
League championship.
When the first batch Of play-on
tickets went on sale yesterday,
about 300 customers already were
standing in line and the box office
did rushing business all day. The
club had to refuse to handle mail or
phone orders to take care of the
customers who were waiting at the
Office for the next batch Of paste
boards to come from the printers.
In all about 10000 were sold the first
day.
Split Pot Into "a shares.
Meanwhile rain and mud kept the
team from going outdoors to prac-
tice, so Coach Steve Owen held a
long blackboard drill. Then the
team voted to split its share OF the
gate receipts into "a shares, 80 full
shares for the players who were with
the club all season and Coaches
Owen and Bo Molenda.
John Karcis, fullback signed In
October, and Will Walls, end who
was injured in November, also drew
full shares, and Chuck Bernard a
half share.
Dale Burnett, who suffered
slight conclusion in the Washington
game last Sunday, is expected to
rejoin the squad today. Since the
Packers have had plenty of time
since their last game, November 20,
and probably have given a lot of
thought to their 1873 loss to the
Giants then, the New Yorkers fig
ure they have real chore ahead.
Outgained Conquerors.
In their previous meeting Green
Bay outgained New York about 2 to
] and had an edge in nearly every
department of play. Six pass inter-
ceptions by the Giants, one result
ing in touchdown, and a 75-yard
run by Tuffy Leemans gave the
Giants the decision.
Over the season the Packers
show smaller edge on the ofiense,
scoring the record total of 223 points
largely through their touchdown
passes. The Giants have defensive
bulge, especially when it comes to
snatching their rivals passes. They
intercepted "a passes during the
regular season.

Down in Mr.. O'Brien's league
they tell you that nobody throws
the ball like the Slingshot. They
point out that he also is runner,
thinker and spark-plug. In the East
there is some slight feeling of re-
sentiment toward O'Brien. because
he has shut Sidney Luckman of
Columbia, off many an all-America
team, and those who have seen Sid
ney know that he not only is a
passer, runner, thinker and spark
plug, but a blocker, tackler and
pile-driving bucker.
The fact that OBrien is on all the
all-Americas and Luckman on al
most none of them certainly consti-
tutes an injustice I haven't seen
O'Brien play since his sophomore
year. He was beginning to fill the
air with footballs then, and he looked
good. BY now, he undoubtedly is
great. So is Luckman. It's too bad
Sid is famous chiefly for his passing
because most of the pickers feel that
they cannot carry two great passers,
and, therefore, skip over Luckman
who would be an all-America back If
he never had thrown a pass in his
life.
I don't mean to start a dogfght.
Or maybe I do. At any rate. there
will be so many great forward pass
ers in the neighborhood simultane-
OuSly this week that it's hard tn
keep from comparing them and
fighting over which has the most
stuff.
There IS O'Brien. There is Luck
man. There is Singing Samuel
Baugh. And, when the New York
Giants and the Green Bay Packers
foregather at the end of the week
to play for the national professional
football title, there also will be Cicil
1sbell, Arnie Herber and Ed Da-
nowski.

And it turns out that he was a
blocking back. for right behind him,
down the lane of spilled and bat
tered tacklers, came young David
(SlingshoD O'Brien, the pitching
pride of Texas Christian University.
Col. Carter ran O'Brien's inter-

head and howl:
