Layden's Irish will score their
ninth consecutive victory.
Tennessee. which meets Okla

over a powerful Mississippi team
that has bowed only to Wander

ference game, and a victory would
lift Mississippi into a three-way tie
for second place with Tulane and
Alabama. Tennessee already has
clinched the title.

TROJANS BANK
ON QUICK KICKS
IN BOWL TILT.

PASADENA, CAL, Dec. 20
G.N.SD - Southern CALIFORNIA;
Trojans, 2-to-1 faVoriteS, will
move to Pasadena today follow
ing their final scrimmage at home
in Los Angeles.
Quick-kicking, a deadly weapon
that Troy has employed so sue
cessfully in the past, is playing
an important part in the final
practices for the sold-out Rose
Bowl game with Duke on Monday.
Knot-hole observers at the Tro-
jan Field report that Howard
Jones is stressing this style of play
as one of his chief offensive
threats, in order to Offset the ad-
mitted punting superiority Of Eric
Upton of the Blue Devils.
TWO QUICK-KICKERS
Mickey Anderson, who was re-
leased from the hospital upon
recovering from a stomach ache, is
the best Of the Trojan quick
kickers. He gets his attempts
away so rapidly that oncoming
linemen are caught on their heels.
and he also gets plenty of distance.
Anderson or Jimmy Jones likely
will be called upon to do most of
the punting against Upton.
With the idea of using his
substitutes individually, instead of
sending them in as a unit, Coach
Jones has been mixing his lineu.
more than anytime during the
regular season.
Coach Wallace Wade threw a
cloak of mystery around the Duke
practice with mo admission"
signs prominently displayed.
News leaked out, however, that
Dan Hill, the all-America center
who injured his back on Tuesday,
would be ready to play topnotch
ball against the Trojans.
CONCENTRATE ON PASSES
The Blue Devils have been con-
centrating upon their forward
pass defense, this being the one
weakness that they showed dur
ing the year. On some occasions,
their opponents, such as Georgia
Tech, had men in the open for
apparent scores via the aerial
route only to have the ball tossed
inaccurately.

The only surprise in the selling
of Simmons, and that is of minor
nature, is that Boston bought him,
Larry "Houdini" McPhail was in
terested in Simmons during the
Winter meetings of the American
League.
Simmons will go down in his
tory as one of the greatest right
handed hitters who ever played
ball. He ranks with Harry He'll
mann in the American League
and Rogers Hornsby in the Ma
tional League.
FIGURES TELL TALE
AS a stylist, Simmons did not
belong in the same ball park with
either Heilmann or Hornsby, but
when you talk of results-the fig
ures speak for themselves. Sim
mons goes into the National
League with a life time average
of $40. Sine 1924. Simmons has
made 2,772 base hits.
Hitting against all sorts of pitch
ing, Simmons led the American
League in hitting in 1880 and 81
with averages of .381 and 800, re
spectively. From 1925 through
1881, Simmons gave one of the
finest exhibitions of hitting that
baseball has ever witnessed.
He cleared the $3.50 mark three
times, with a high of .391 and a
low of .343. He made 1897 hits
for total of 1886 bases and drove

The official pitching records of
the American League released to-

displayed by the Washington
moundsmen last season. The staff
as a whole allowed 4.94 earned
runs per nine-inning game. which
ranked them just about even with
the Philadelphia Athletics and
the st. Louis Browns. And through
the cold black type is recalled the
prophecies of the spring training
camp, that the only two men of
real promise on the staff were
Dutch Leonard and Joe Krakaus-

KrakauSkas ranked third in ef-
fectivenesS, with an earned run
average Of 3.12, a performance
which ranked him behind Paul

Lefty Grove, of the Boston Red

pitcher. Leonard ranked seventh
in effectiveness, with 3.43 earned
runs per nine-inning game. Down
in thirty-Second position, judged
on effectiveness comes Pete Apple

the ranking of Ken Chase, who is
