I watched this catering service
in operation while visiting movie
directors home the other day. and
I shook my head in beWilderment
as 1 recalled the endless procession
of dogs of my boyhood, and wonder
ed how they managed to keep body
and soul together.
To begin with, I only knew two
kinds of dogs when l was a boy.
The ones you found and the ones
people gave you. 1 was in New York
three years before I discovered that
anyone ever bought a dog. In my
home town there was always lit
ter barking within earshot and a
! fellow could always have the runt
for the asking.
There were only two kinds of dog
| food, too, when I was master OF
the McLemore kennels. The first
was table scraps and the second
was forage. When any of the dogs
decided we weren't setting a good
enough table they just quit thump-
ing their tails on the porch and
went out on their own. Between
the Manleys and the Snellgroves and
the Kelleys and the Yarns and the
Reeves they could always scout up
substantial meal.
Our dogs could always sense when
the family was having something
they liked. Then they would peer
through the dining room windows
and bay when the children asked
for a second helping, knowing this
would reduce their scraps. They
were particularly fond of chicken
bones, not knowing that chicken
bones were supposed to be bad for
them.

BY HENRY SUPER


NEW YORK, Dec. 16. (UP) -
Wear down the enemy, then score.
That's the kind of football Nebras-
ka, big six champions, will throw
against Stanford in the Rose Bowl
Nebraska is coached by Maj. "Biff''
Jones who learned his football at
West Point The majors offense is
built along military lines. He believes
that football is a game for 22-even
33-men rather than II. His teams
stress power and more power and
| that was the formula for Nebraska S
success this year when its only loss
in nine games was to mighty Min
neSota.
Nebraska never has made a trip
to a bowl game in its 81 years Of
football and, according to Jones,
this team he takes west on Dec. 10
is one without stars.
"A great bunch of boys that have
the desire to play and the will to
win," Jones says. There aren't any
outstanding stars on the club and
the competition for each position
has been keen. Perhaps those fac
tors have made them as great as
really think they are"
The reason for Nebraska'S success
has been a wealth of good material,
including players made-to-order for
the Jones system. That, plus balance,
experience and capable backs made
the CornhuSkerS click.
Until midway through the season,
Jones practiced the two-team sys-
tenn with great success. Jones in
variably alternated his first and
second units by periods during his
first three seasons at Nebraska. This
year he started with the same plan,
then changed in the Pittsburgh
game and after that his substitutes
never went in as complete units.
Whether Jones will revert to the
two-unit system in the Rose Bowl
is a matter of speculation. Only
Jones knows-and he won't talk.
In direct contrast to Stanfords
tricky attack from "T' formation,
Nebraska relies chiefly on power
plays with the tailback hitting off
tackle and the fullback driving
through the middle. Nebraska uses
the single wingback most of the
time and the double wing on rare
occasions. The defense primarily is
6-2-2-1, although a 5-3-2-1 is some
times used against passing teams.
Nebraska's line averages 1911
pounds a man and only yielded three
touchdowns this season. The back
field starters average 189 pounds.
The Cornhuskers' only loss of the
season was to Minnesota 1877. That
was Nebraskas first game of the
year and there are some Cornhusk-
er hackers who insist Nebraska
should have won because Butch Lu-
ther made a 66-yard touchdown dash
only to be called back because both
teams were offside. And to win
Minnesota had to score its touch
down on a long pass in the final
period
Nebraska's leading back is Harry
Hopp a powerful runner who aver
aged 464 yards in 152 attempts
and does most of the blocking. The
speed merchant is Waiter Butch
Luther who operates on reverse
plays. Vike Francis, brother of Sam
who was an All-America at Nebras-
ka in 1886, is the teams plungine
back. He's the fellow who kicked q
third period field goal that halted
Pittsburgh 81 after he had missed

of $3.50. His 272 was three strokes
under Hogan's 275 total after Hogan
shot a SO yesterday. Defending
Champion Sam Snead could do no
better than a final round II for a
total 277 that left him tied for
fourth place with Willie Goggin Yof
Miami who played the last 18 holes
in 68. They split fourth and fifth
money to get $3.50 each. This gave
Snead third place in the 1910 mon
ey winning total with $9,206. Jimmy
Demaret, of Houston, Tex, second
leading money winner before the
Miami, wound up far down the
list with 285 total that was worth
only $31.25.
Big Jim Ferrier of Australia and
Earl Christensen, Miami's golfing
policeman, tied for amateur honorS
with 287's, while national amateur
Champion Dick Chapman of Green
Wich, Conn.,, finished far behind
with 299. Ferrier and Christensen
meet in an 18-hole playoff for the
amateur trophy today.
Since Snead was the only one in
the 200-man field with a chance
to overtake Hogan in the race for
the Harry Vardon trophy, most
coveted award in professional golf,
Hogan emerged an easy winner with
423 points. Snead finished second
with 1893 and Nelson third with 337.
The golfing new year will start
Jan. 3 with the Los Angeles Open,

Louis Lopsided
Favorite Over
Mccoy Tonight

BOSTON, Dec. 16. UP)-Cham-
pion Joe Louis is such a lopsided
favortie to beat Al Mccoy in Boston's
first heavyweight title fight that
the bookies quit quoting odds when
they reached u to l.
Nevertheless, this scheduled 15-
round bout is expected to draw a
gross gate of about $65000, setting
new record for the hub city
where the previous high was S56,-
600, established for Jack Sharkey's
victory over Jim Maloney in 1925.
That was before Sharkey became
champion.
Virtually no one in this New
England cultural center gives Nc
Coy, the Boston challenger, chance
to beat the hard hitting Negro
champion. Yet, co-promoters Mike
Jacobs of New York and Rip Vel
enti of Boston are convinced that
nearly 1900 fans will swarm into
Boston garden merely too see Louis
in action. And they're probably
right.
Boston, the city that produced
that great John l.. Sullivan, the
first Marquis of Queensberry heavy
weight champion, and developed
champions Jack johnson and Jack
Sharkey, is interested particularly
in Louis because the last time he
fought here he got licked. That
was in 1888 when Joe, a light
heavyweight, dropped a decision to
Max Marek in the national anna
teurs. Hence, a victory tonight
will be a Boston comeback" for
the Brown Bomber.
Louis isn't worried about the gate,
which even if it sets a Boston
record, still will be the lowest he
has drawn is II title defenses. For
jolting Joe, this is the first of five
tune-up engagements for the de-
fense of his crown in a big outdoor
show at Yankee stadium in June
against Billy Conn, the light heavy
weight king

Stanford Called
Back TO Practice

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Dec. 16. (UP)-The Stanford Uni

back to scrimmage today after final
examinations. to learn that Pres

clined the offer of the Pacific Coast
conference to compensate players
for holiday employment they might
lose through participation in the
Rose Bowl game against Nebraska
Conference faculty advisors at the

financial loss through giving up the

pairing for the Rose Bowl games

conversion earlier in the game.
Francis, a cocky fellow, said he
missed the conversion on purpose
so he could add a dramatic touch"
to the game. Herman Rohrig is the
teams best kicker and passer.
Francis is the leading scorer with
four touchdowns, eight conversions
for 35 points while Luther is second
with 80 points.
In the line, Nebraska is strong
from end to end. The ends are Fred
Preston and Roy Prochaska. The
tackles are Royal (King Kong) Kah-
Ter and Forrest Benin. At guard are
Warren Alison, one of the great
guards of 1910, and Ed Schwartz

There's still life at the Barbara
Worth country club as was evi.
denced by the more than $50 golf
ers who played over the course
Sunday in the official opening OF
the new rye grass green's.
Responsible for the increase in
play over the Barbara Worth course
is Johnny Turnac, new club pro
whose untiring efforts to accomo-
date players has made it a pleasure
to tee off for a round of par chas-
ing.
More than a dozen golfers from
Brawley were on hand, with the
northend pro, Joe Calwell. for the
opening, indicating that a move is
underway to patch the hard inter-
club warfare which has slowed the
growth and progress of the sport
in Imperial Valley.
There isn't a single reason the
problem of one club in the valley
shouldn't become the problem of
the other instead of the prevailing
attitude which is, let them worry
about it."
Closer cooperation will increase
play at both clubs, increase inter-
est in the sport, and further, will
tend to overcome a feeling of an
tagonism between the two cities in
other matters.
Turnac and Calwell, newcomers
to valley golfign, can do and are
doing a lot to overcome the prob
lem. Club committees are expected
to follow suit.

$50 Per Season

There's nothing wrong whit the

the Stanford players a measly $50
for actual time lost from employ
ment in preparing for the Rose
Bowl game.
The kids are entitled to vastly
more than that. The schools cut

But there is no escaping the fact
that paying students to play is an
other step in the direction opposite
to that in which college football
was headed by its founders-and
toward open subsidization.
1t is, however, the inevitable re-
suit of high pressure football with
its gigantic stadia, bond issues and
sinking funds. It's difficult to COM
