Football Season Is
 Over But There reMany Memories
BY HARR YFERGUSON United Press Sports Editor)

New York, Dec. 2-(UP)-The football season is over, but these memories finger on:
 Screwiest game of the year-That thing at Hanover, N. H., where Cornell scored what appeared to be the winning touchdown on the last play of the game only to have the referee discover later that the tally was made on fifth down. Cor nell gave the victory to Dartmouth, changing the score from Cornell ], Dartmouth 3 to Dartmouth 3, Cor nell 0.
 Screwiest play of the year-The way Frank Brennan, a spectator, came out of the stands and tried to tackle Tom Harmon in the Cali fornia- Michigan game at Barkeley. Brennan was disguested with the way Harmon was running wild, so he leaped out of his seat and es- sayed a tackle. P. S.-He missed.
 Personal rating of the teams, re- gardless of whether they were de- feated: 1. Minnesota, 2. Texas A. 7s M., 3. Boston College, 4. Michi- gan. 5. Stanford.
 Tough luck team of the year - UCLA, which took on a bruiSing 1O-game schedule and registered but one victory against Washington State. Show this schedule to your favorite coach and then run for the smelling salts-Southern Methodist, Santa Clara, Texas A. & M., Cali fornia, Oregon State. Stanford, Ore gon, Washington State, Washing ton, Southern California.
 Best Coach
 Coach of the year-Clark Shaugh- messy of Stanford. He took bunch of players who were the joke of the Pacific Coast Conference last sea- son and welded them into a tricky, heads-up team that swept through a hard schedule without losing a game.
 Best teams by sections-East, Boston College; midwest, Minne- sota: tar west, Stanford: Texas A. & M; south, Tennessee or Missis- sippi State.
 Most overrated team of the year -Notre Dame, which popped of a few easy ones and was hailed as the super-squad of the nation. Then the competition got tough and the Notre Damers turned out to be mere mortals.
 Most exciting game of the season That l9 to 1S victory that Boston College scored over Georgetown--a clash between two unbeaten teams boasting as fine @ pair of lines as can be found anywhere.
 Upset of the year-St. Marys Q to G victory over a powerful, versatile

Marsh -MOntannari Heads
 Great Ring Card Thursday

Another promising card of pro- fessional talent will be put on dis play at Buckingham hall here next Thursday night. Co-matchmakers Mickey Dance and Bobby Kelly have secured Doug Mash, brilliant Montreal, Canada welterweight sensation, and Francesca Montanari of Italy to headline program that runs to 32 rounds of fighting.
 Marsh, who has been campaigning with huge success around New York state since his last showing here when he outpointed Jackie Thomp- son of Albany last winter, is expect ed to rule a slight favorite to turn in a win over E>>cc;;.-.anari when the boys square off. Marsh, a clever boxer, has won over Dick Turcotte, Babe Synott and others in his ap- pearance in the Brass City in the past.
 Both Boxed Suggs
 MOLlIdIldIl, WHO IS u Lkdl1llIlS 1OL IllC coming scrap at the Pioneer gym- nasium in New York, is confident that he can register victory over teh Canadian boy. Montanari claims he won handily over Oscar Suggs of New Bedford, Mass, here on the last card, while Marsh was lucky 70 get a draw with Suggs at the Arena in New Haven last winter.
 The undercard arranged by the matchmakers is one of the best as- sembled here in some time. The semi final bout brings together Don Fiantini of Reading, Pa, ard John ny Compo of New Haven. These two featherweights staged torrid battle here recently with the Penn sylvania youngster grabbing the duke. Compo is drilling hard for the return engagement and promises to avenge the previous setback.
 Two sixes will show Jimmy Bell of New Haven and Red Doty, pleasing Hartford welterweight; and Frank Foley, New Haven Irisher and Neil Miller of Willkes-Barre, Pa.

Superintendent of Parks NANTUCKET CLUB HERE FOR K. OF L.
Strange R. l. Team to Open Lith Hoop Season Sat-
 urday Night

The Knights of Lithuania cagers, Waterbury's leading courtsters for several seasons, will launch another season of basketball Saturday eve- ming when the Pawtucket Townies, old rivals of the Lths, come to St.. Joseph's hal.
 With John StankuS again direct ing the business matters for the club and Joe Boley serving as play er-coach, the K. of L. combine faces another stiff campaign, with the Rhode Islanders offering a real opening game test.
 Wilson Farley, one of the cleverest ball-handlers and sharpshooters to perform at the Brooklyn hall, will direct the Iownies' attack and he's been plain poison to the Knights for the past three years-averaging IS points in five starts against the Liths.
 Joe Joyce, Joe SwaSey, Nick Hud- obenko, Freddie Ferrie, Frank Sal- dukas, Boley and three or four Holy Name team prospects will be in uni- form as the Knikhts launch what they hope will be another successful season on the court.
 With the West Side Speedboys coming along at a rapid clip to challenge for the Liths' high place in local cage circles, the Brooklyn basketeers realize they will have to travel at high clip to maintain their position.
 Saturdays game, basen on what the teams have shown in their pre- vious meetings, should be high scoring affair, with point-a-minute action serving to open the Brooklyn season in a blaze of baskets.
 The Knights will hold workout at 2 o'clock tonight at St. Joseph's hall.
