Tremendous sacrifice and 'the

SPEED, DECEPTION
Nebraska, To Have Advantage

ence In Bowl Fray

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 27.-R
Standards football team, it .ap-
pears, will bank on its speed and
deception against Nebraska's
weight, age and experience, in the
Rose Bowl New Years Day.
Since a Nebraska outfit never
has played in California, many OBJ
servers are having a difficult time
visualizing the Cornshuckers, but
scout reports say they closely re-
semble a battering ram wound up
for 60 minutes of battering, mixing
in sharp reverses to either side
and a very capable aerial game.
Stanford, with its highly divert
ing and highly publicized T-forma'
ton, combines speed with more
speed, the idea being that when
quarterback frankie Albert takes
the ball from the center he can
do one Of several things with it,
and quickly.
Some of the professional observ-
ers have candidly admitted Frank
les sleight-of-hand was too mucn
for them: He seemed to play the
oil dshell game, because the ball
turned up across the enemy goal
line by sc many surprising routes.
Critics who have seen major Biff
Jones' Huskers say they loce

DEB CAIRNS TAKES
BATTING HON0RS
BUGS Utility Man Is Acclaim
ed Official Leader In Loop
With 1855 Average

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-R-The
National league batting champion
ship has been returned to Pitts
burgh, where Paul Waner and Arky
Vaughan used to keep it fastened
down.
Debs CAIRNS, the little Texan who
bats like Waner, achieved the title
in his first season with the Pirates
by betting out a .355 average.
Near the end of the season there
was some question as to whether he
would be considered the champion
because he had not gone to bat 400
times, the figure usually considered
the minimum qualification for a
championship rating. But the Ma.
tional league settled that doubt by
stating it had no rule on the mat
ter and CAIRNS supremacy became
official with the release Of the av.
erages today.
He had 1853 at bats in 103 games,
playing in a utility role in the out
field and at third base.
Under the system Of rating bat
ters on 400 or more times at bat,
Stanley Hack of the Chicago Cubs
would have won the honor with a
.317 average for 603 times at bat in
149 games.
The truth is that, aside from
CAIRNS good mark, batting averages
in the senior circuit were nothing
to shout about during the 1910 sea-
son.
Closest to CAIRNS among players
appearing in rs or more games was
Catcher Virgil (Spud) Davis of the
Pirates with a 1926 percentage for
SO games.
Catcher Ernie lombard of the
world champion Cincinnati Reds,
who wo nthe title in 1898, might
have regained the crown except for
the ankle injury he suffered short
~ before the end Of the campaign.
He finished with a .311 mark for
576 times at bat in 10S games.
Johnny Mize of st. Louis, the
1899 champ, slipped to .314, fol-
lowed by Jim Gleason, Chicago, .313;
Frank Mccormick, Cincinnati 1909;
Fred (Dixie) Walker, Brooklyn

times in his career.
