TAYLOR, DEW SETTLE
 JOCK CROWN TODAY

Arcadia, Calif., Dec. 31 - CU.P) Jockeys Earl Drew and Walter Taylor, all even with 266 winning mounts each this year, go to the post at Santa Anita and Tropical Park. Fla. respectively today in a last chance to win the National Jockey title for 1940.
 Both jockeys, engaged in the turf's hottest scramble for the ride ing crown in several years, are colll- parative novices and have come into prominence only during the past year.
 Not since 1882 when Johnny oil- bert edged Hank Mills in Q similar duel, has a race been so tight. Tay- Tor, riding in New Orleans and New England, rolled up Q big lead early in the year and by the end of June led, l46-78. Dew, of Sac Csty, Iowa campaigned in the west and was slower in starting. He booted home 47 winners in July, moved steadily upwards during the summer and turned in another 47 in November.
 They brought home 6 winner apiece yesterday. Dew rode Musical Jack Co victory ili the second race ct santa Anita while Taylor, . na- tive of Houston, Tex, won with Lock Out In the second race et TauahcAi Rask.

Duguid Almost Lost One Eye,
 But Made Comeback

Every once in a while a hockey player is counted out of the ranks of active men because of an injury or an ailment-and then surprises all who bemoaned his passing with a brilliant comeback. There is an old axiom in sports that they never come back" but that doesn't apply in hockey, nor to the case of Lorne Duguid of the Pittsburgh Hornets.
 Just about a year ago Duguid rapidly reaching the peak of his career, came to grief at the New Haven Arena when he was struck in the eye by a stick during scrirn- mage behind the cage. Cut badly. Duguid was taken from the ice and rushed othe hospital where an emergency operation was perform ed.
 For some time it was feared that Duguid would lose the sight of the eye-and that meant the end of his hockey days. There are good players who have sight in only one eye, one being Tony GraboslSi's brother. but it's hard for them to find berths in big time hockey.
 Duguid, out of action for Q long time, seemed doomed to that class. But he refused to, be 80 easily dis- posed of, and long before he was able to make use of the injured eye he was back skating, getting in trim physically. This season he is once again in Q Pittsburgh uniform. They've got him playing on defense now. and he's turning In . fine game.
 They do come back. Duguid is proof of that.

Cooney Of Bees
 Voted Barnes Plaque

Boston, Dec. 31 CU.P) = Johnny Cooney, 39-year r-old out fielder of the Boston Bees and one of the National Leagues leading hitters last season, will resceive the Walter s. Barnes Memorial plaque the most valuable Boston player of 1940 at the annual Boston Baseball Writers dinner.
 The slender Cooney, onetime southpaw pitcher who batted .31S last season when pressed into serv- ice after being signed primarily as coach, was unanimously voted the award yesterday.
 Cooney broke in with the Boston Braves as a pitcher in 1920. When his arm went dead in 1880, he went to the minors and was for four years an outstanding player in the American Association and Interna- tional League. He returned to the majors with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1895. He played with Boston the past two seasons after Brooklyn de- clared him a free agent.
 Previous recipients of the Barnes Ulaque were Pitcher Jim Turner of the Bees and First Baseman Jimmy Foxx and Outfielder Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox.

United Press Stan Correspondentl
 Dallas, Tex, Dec. 3l = (UP) = Fordham and Texas A. and M. reached the Alphonse and Gast0ll stage today on the eve of the Cot- ton Bowl football game.
 With the game a sellout of 45.- 507, and both teams in perfect pl1y- Sical shape ready to go at 1:15 D. m.. CST., tomorrow, the coaches are nursing sore backs from taking too many bows-for the opposition.
 Coach Homer Norton of the Az gies was hardly of the train yester day with his 51 human tanks, tlaaI he began singing for Fordham:
 One of the greatest teams ir America. Steve Filipowicz must be 8 great passer if all I've heard abou him is true. Fordham's an under. rated club. The betting odds are ou of line"
 The betting is g to 5 on the Az gies and up until today there wer few F'ordham takers. But early tlli morning special train carryin several hundred Fordham rooter rolled in carrying some fresh, crack ling folding g-money to ride on tt RarInS.
 Coaches Disagree
 Norton claimed that the gar should be an everl-money affair Ei Coach Jimmy Crowley of the Rar. said the odds were right.
 Those babies are big and tous and will give us tough time Crowley said. T think the betting absolutely right because we're fat ing the greatest team in America.
 The Aggies, of their recol should be favored. They ran out straight gans bfor losing to TX. They are in top physical conditie and are knee-deep in f1rst-class serves.
 We had our first look at them a practice session yesterday at M. us Ownby Stadium. Big Johi Kimbrough is a tough article. M. rion Pugh surprised us. We expect to see a gentle, scholarly lad b cause we had heard he was t 'brains" of the team. We found blackboard, hard-bitten man " runs like the wind and losses football like it was shot from a s shooter.

Texas, Tennessee And Stanford Rule NeD Year Fauortes
Stanford TT Formation Confuses Defense With Backs Criss- Crossing As Plays Start
Here's How 194O
 Version of Old
 Offense Works
By ART KRENz
NEA Service stan Correspondent

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 What is this newfangled 'T' for nation used by the Rose Bowl bound Stanford football team?
 Because of the ITS" use by Stan ford and the Chicago Bears in their march to the National League pro championship, 1t seems due for 8 wider adoption next year. A Stan- ford victory over Nebraska in the bowl game wouldn't do anything to decrease its new popularity. The TT" formation which has been shaking so many backs loose on the gridiron is no newer than that other model T which shook backs loose 20 years ago. For the "T" offense was employed before the football world ever heard of wing backs, tailbacks and spinbacks.
 Knute Rockne once used form of the "T", dropped it when the one-second rule gave the defense time to shift to meet the attack.
 Success of the 1940 streamlined version depends on adept handling of the ball from center, expert tim ing, fineSse and good passing att tack. Passes must be constant threat
 The Bears used Sid Luckman, Stanford uses Frankie Albert. They handle the ball on all plays.
 From the ''T" formation any one of the backs shifts to the left or right. A man in motion is used on every play except when bunting. He serves as a decoy pass receiver or carries out other assignments. He must come to a full second stop be- fore the ball is snapped except when only one man is in motion obliquely, which does not constitute a back field shift (see diagram 3.
 CRISS- S-CROSSlNG
 CONFUSES DEFENSE To get some i6ea as to what Me- braSka must stop in the bowl game, consider few of Stanford's plays. The line is balanced. Albert is at quarterback, Hugh Gallarneau at left half, Norm Standlee at full back and Pete Kwetovic at right half.
 On one pass play (see large dia- gram) two men are in motion. The right end moves out 15 yards and Kmetovic shifts to the left wingback spot 10 yards outside left end.
 Albert takes the ball, fakes to Gallarneau who continues on out to the right fiat zone, fakes again to Standlee who goes on to block the defensive right tackle. Albert then fades back to the left, passes to Kmetovic who has gone down from the left wingback spot. All this criss- crossing confuses the defensive linemen, who have their eyes glued on the men in mo- tion.

BOYS CLUB NOTES

The club varsity team will play host to the Naugatuck ZepherS this Friday evening in the feature con- test of three game bill. In the top preliminary spot the undefeat- ed Bombers will meet the next threat to their fine record and the Varsity Girls will also play one of the better fem teams in the state.
 The Naugatuck Zephers will be tough team to beat and real threat to the ten straight victories that the clubbers have annexed on the club court. The Zephers have the cream of last years crack Chucks quintet as well as the lead- ing hoopsters of the past Zepher teams. Edmonds, Sweeney and the other Naugy stars will appear in the new flash uniforms of the viSi- tors. On Saturday night the Varsity will travel to Torrington where they will meet the Y Varsity ot that town. Next week the Varsity will entertain the Pontiac Chiefs of AnSonia, the former Woodlawn quintet, and on Saturday evening will journey to the heart of the Bay State for a game with the Worces- ter Boys Club, the giant quintet that won a thriller from the locs Is last year.
 The Varsity team will hold short practice session this evening at o'clock. Following the practice the undefeated Warriors will take the floor followed by the Abrigades.
 The Senior House league is cer- tainly one of the most evenly matched that the club fans have ever witnessed. The one team that was Q sure loser in the eyes of all the spectators and teams alike, de- feated the Pond Aces in their last start and since that game they have added Ray Chipman to their ranks and have made themselves Q real contender for the crown along with the other five teams. The Bomberi and the Warriors are the only un- defeated teams in the league bul they meet each other In the next league match c week from Wednes- day and once again the first round will be greatly in doubt.
