Not only has President Roosevelt
taken the lead away from Mr..
Willkie at this stage OF the race,
but the presidents majority would
likely be of landslide proportions
II an election were held today, the
Institute survey indicates.
Completed returns from every
state in the Union show President
Roosevelt ahead in IS states with
q combined total Of 453 votes In
the electoral college. Mr.. willkie,
leading in 10 states. has 70 cleo
toral votes.
In Washington. the survey found
81 per cent for Roosevelt, with IS
per cent for Willkie.
The survey offers an interesting
measurement of the progress Of the
Democratic and Republican CAM
paigns to date. As in the past
President Roosevelt has gained
ground with the voters following
an intense flare-up in the European
war. The survey also covers the
period In which President Roose.
welt announced the transfer Of so
average destroyers TO Great Bril-
tain in exchange for naval bases.
Meanwhile the campaign Of
MFR. WIllkie has - purposely,
say Republican strateEists--
been In q state Of comparative
quiet. The Republican leaders

ishing feat In coming from

Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 27-(UP)- Why is Stanford in the Rose Bowl?
 This pointed question was put to Clark Shaughnessy during Hull in the Indians first workout hc-e yes terday, and the head man from Palo Alto had an answer equally direct and concise.
 Because Stanford is the most alert and the quickest team ever coached or ever saw"
 These two virtues-quickness of mind and quickness of foot-he cred- its with Stanford's rise from the cellar of football to the roof tops. Saughnessy placed them ahead of the famed T formation in import ance, because, as he explained, the T formation would have been a flop without the proper boys to operate it.
 '"The T formation is nothing mys- terious," he said. Tt is as old as the hills. have used variations of it ever since I started coaching, and that wasn't yesterday. But only the right kind of players can operate it. For example. someone was talking with me the other day and said how must yearn for a player like Jay Berwanger to use in the Rose Bowl

1 the land in 1940, but Georgetown was only a step to two from the finest in the land. The Hoyas have lost only one game in three cam paigns-to Boston College by a gnat's eyelash-and I doubt that the Bulldogs can make it two.
 BOWL GAMES
 HERE TO STAY
 Western Reserve has two backs who could run in any company = Johnny Refs and Dick Booth, but Dixie Howell, the old Alabaman, has a couple of fair to middling ball packers himself at Tempe, Ariz., and also had a climatic break in preparing for the engagement at Fl Paso.
 Fresno State has tackled more and sterner competition than Hawaii.
 All of the bowls are sold out, and money is being turned back. This is something in the way of evidence that bowl games are here to stay. l Set 'em up in the other alleyl
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-27

You remember Jay, of course. One of the greatest football players Chi cako or any other school ever had But I wouldn't want him against Nebraska. His style isn't the style that fits the T formation. As great as he was, he would be a liability instead of an asset"
 In describing his teams alertness Shaughnessy spoke of his players vuriosity, their ability to learn, and their faculty for not making the same mistakes twice.
 They don't know everything, and they know it." he said. '"They learn something from every play, and they have the alertness to use this knowl- edge to an advantage"
 Coach Alert, Too Shaughnessy didn't say so, being just about as modest coach as ever gave an order, but he gets an A grade for alertness, too. He hadn't been working with his new players last spring for more than a week or two when he knew-and named his starting team for the season that was months away. He was dead right too, because the eleven men he named when they still were prac- tically strangers to him, will be the eleven men who'll take the field for the kickoff against Nebraska. The quickness Shaughnessy spoke of doesn't necessarily mean binding speed of foot. As Bob Zupke once pointed out, there is a lot of differ ence between a player who is quick and player who is speedy. The latter may be able to do hundred yards in much better time, but not be able to handle himself with the quickness that is so necessary for sharp-breaking plays. Stanford has players with speed, but they are also quick and able to exploit the split second openings that the T forma- tion provides.
 To this observer, Stanford appears to be outweighed quite a bit by Neb- raska, despite the official weight charts issued by the two schools which show only pound or two diff ference in the starting lineups. The Indians, as they worked at Brook side Park just a punt and a pass from the Rose Bowl, didn't seem tc be as heavy as the chart listed them The line is down for an average oi 199 pounds and the backfield fol 187. Nebraska is down for about tht same average, but the Nebraska team I saw against Kansas State was eith. CT bigger than that or the scales ir the Lincolnd Field house need re. pairing.
 Stanford is now to II favoritt and probably will continue to bl until Nebraska's burlies arrive or Sunday and the populace get @ lool at their manpower.

'DAER IS RANKED ABOVE CONN IN
 RING RATINGS
Louis May ''Ruin" Pitts burgh Boxer; BeIlOise Is
 5th Best MiddIeweight
BY JACK CUDDY

A@ X VHAOAA OODO4 United Press Staff COrrespOndent) New York, Dec. 27-(UP)-'The Ring" magazines annual rating oi the worlds fighters today proclaim ed Maxie Baer the No. heavy weight contender, ranking him above Billy Conn.
 Pittsburgh Billy may be modified somewhat, however, at having won the magazines fighter -the-yeaI award, which was voted the light heavyweight king because of his vic- tories over bigger men.
 The rings board of 168 experts ir the United States, Canada and Cuba diffc.ed sharply with the judgment Of Phomoter Mike Jacobs when they tabbed Madcap Maxie the top heavy contender for Joe Louis crown. Only last week Jacobs signed Conn to challenge for the heavy title in June, after. virtually booting Bael out of the championship picture.
 The rings board named Baer tn leading contender because of hi konckout victories over the out standing heavy threats: Tony Ga lento and Pat Comiskey, accordin. to Editor Nat Fleischer's copyrigh story in the rings February issut Flescher calls Baer's kayo over Ga lento "the thrill of the year..
 Commenting upon Conn's chancs lNi- my prediction that he won't las. long against Louis powerful wallop and that defeat by the Bomber ma. forever ruin the career of the elas siest boxer in captivity"
 Though Conn's victories over fom big fellows were not as Signtfican in the heavy division as Baer's two kayoes, nevertheless they won fol Billy the coveted fighter-o -the-yea award by 57 votes against 36 fo Baer, 26 for Henry Armstrong, 2l fo Ken Overlin, IT fro Louis, and I 1 for Fritzie Zivic.
 The boards balloting gave tn ring its eight divisional leaders a follows: Heavyweight, Louis; Ligh heavy, Conn; middleweight, Kel Overlin of Washington, D. C.; vel terweight, Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh lightweight, Lew Jenkins of Sweet water, Tex; featherweight, Harr. Jeffra of Baltimore; bantamweight Tony Olivera of Oakland, and fly weight, Jackie Paterson of Scotland
 { Louis, Conn and Zivic are undis puted world champions, and the rim recognizes Jenkins as lightweight king over the National Boxing Asso. citation claims of Sammy Angott O Louisville. It likewise recognize: Jeffra as featherweight ruler owe, the N. B. A. claims of Petey Scalzc However it recognizes no champio! in the middleweight, bantamweigh
 and flyweight divisions, suggestin that rival title claimants meet to d6
 eide disputes in those classes. Of the eight leaders listed, on
