 Great Job
 Sutherland and Topping bought Q player or two here, scraped up Q few unknowns and glued together a team which went right out and beat the fearsome Chicago Bears for all but the last % seconds of their opening game. They went on from there, Subbing men, plugging gaps, and nursing the injured along. All season this sort of thing went on, yet the Dodgers finished second.
 It was Q remarkable job for a coach, one Of the best of the year. And the doctor never finished any season at Pitt with as much satis. faction as he ended that at Brook lyn . few weeks ago. The night before the Dodgers played their windup with the already champion Giants, they met voluntarily for Q pep session, The next day they went out and sent seven Giants to the hospital while punching out c 2i-7 upset triumph. And I do mean punching.
 But, shucks, that was nothing Just wait till next yearl

 Two tracks were torn down and rebuilt Aqueduct and Jamaica in New York and several more were refurnished to meet growing demands. Arlington Park and Trop- ical Park changed ownerships and expansions were the order of busi- ness on all sides. With the successes came Q few headaches, too, notably in labor trouble and ringing seam dals.
 Grooms and jockeys won them selves better working conditions and compensation insurances after a ser. ies of disputes which closed Santa Anita Park and delayed programs elsewhere. Doping charges were flung after the derby and at Holly wood Park but. as usual, no suspen- sions were ordered and no definite charges brought before the public.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. OU.) By JACK GUENTHER

United Press stan COrrespondentl
 New York, Dec. l8.--(UP)-The next time a dark stranger whispers in your ear that he has 1t straight from Pymatuning, Pa, that Q cer- tain professional football coach has signed with Q certain amateur foot ball college, whisper back that Jock Sutherland isn't considering Q change of address at the moment, thanks.
 You can even shout back, If you prefer, and youll be doing the good, gray doctor Q noble service, For no matter where he may move in l94s, he isn't going to U, s, O., to Illinois, to Washington or even to Pentield Teachers in l942, Hell just con- duct business ct the same old grand- stand in EhhetS Field and coach as many Brooklyn Dodgers as the army will permit,
 This Is no rumor and you need no oulja board, divining rod or pipe- line to Sutherland'S office to verify it, The doctor himself has spent so much time denying his purported transfers that for Q spell he thought about printing form letters to pass around and renting 6 neon lined vest equipped to flash out the words, Sorry, but 1t amt true
 The one-tlme Pitt chiettain won't leave Brooklyn because when he signed with Dan Topping two sea- sons ago he guaranteed his services for three years. Unless the laws of arithmetic have been suspended during the emergency, his contract includes the season of i942, an item never considered by the career men who keep nominating him for every college vacancy.
 Ready to "Cllck"
 But aside from the contract, there Is another reason why the doctor can't be regarded as Q successor to Jimmy Phelan, Bob zuppke or any- one else, There Is no basis for it except my huneh, but 1t is this Sutherland has worked for two years building q good football team out of ersatz material and next season he has Q chance to boost the Dodgers Into a pennant.
 Sutherland has won several Iia. tlonal championships in the college ranks but Brooklyn won nothing but hoots and cat-calls until the good doctor took charge, The Dodgers really needed doctor for q coach, too, In 1888 and 1889 they won only eight of 22 games and scored only 2S9 points to S80 for the opposition. But, somehow, the doctor changed their ways.
 He lifted them into second place in the Eastern Division of the Na- tional Professional league last year and borught them back Into the same spot this season. How he man aged to win as many games as he did In lo4l is e double -barreled, free-Style Tibeian riddle. Yet he beat the Eastern champion New York Giants both times he met them.
 This was a signal achievement. Before the Dodgers opened their season I visited Dr. Sutherland at his camp in Princeton and he told me fiatly that he didn't think he would be able to field a team for his first game. He had no right at the time, one tackle

 MT. Inglls expressed belief that there would be little curtailment of the organizations golfing program for the coming year,

New York, December ls. -- (UP) -- The New York Giants are get. ting . little tired of people feeling sorry for them because they have to play the chicago Bears, the big, bod boys of the Midway, in the pro- fessional football championship playoff game at Chicago Sunday.

 All the Giants were in uniform and engaged in practice yesterday except Lou De Filippo, second string center, who has c touch of the flu. Nello F'alaschi, blocking back who had his leg ripped open in the Dodger game, worked out for the first time since his injury.
