ceding Texas, now rated No l in the Southwest Conference, any, thing. The Aggies will be disap- pointed If they fail to turn back the Longhorns in their big game on Thanksgiving Day.
 The reason for this Is that a lot of young men are demonstrating that they have vastly more than the splnters they gathered while sitting on the benc last fall and te year before. The departed Aggies were 00-minute football players.
 This edition of Texas A. and M. has an amazing end in Bill Hen. erson, a 6-fot 4-inch 20S.pound, four-letter man with Q 10 1.2-inch hand spread.
 While 1t reads like Q new club, eight of thiS years starters are seniors. Two are juniors. Willie zapalac, the blocking back, Is the only sophomore.
 Norton tells you he has the coun- tegpart of John Kimbrough in Den. his Andricks, sophomore.
 Jarrin' John KimbrouSh smashed straight ahead. They simply had ct get out of his way.
 Andricks does that and goes un- der, over and around 'em,too He passes. Kimbrough didn't.
 There are $500 boys at College Station, and these ar ethe pick of the lot.
 Texas and the other southwest teams will have no picnic the day they tackle Texas A. & M.

MARQUIS GIVES BRITISH BOXING
 FURTHER SPUR
Big London Tournament Receives Backing of
 Queensberry
Bill Busik

London (Up)-London promoters are planning the biggest boxing tournament since the start of the waR.
 The recents successful revival of boxing in the empires capital has led to the discussnon of tourna- melat at which one reiginig cham pions possibly more, and a former holdA' of 6 worlds title, will ap- pear, together with several promis. ing youngsters.
 According to present information the show will be put on at a big West End theater, if all goes well. The man principally behind the proposal is the Marquis of Queens berry, who has been working hard since the outbreak of the war to keep British boxing healthy.
 If sufficient fighters can be ob- tained, 1t is reported that there will be boxing shows every two weeks.
 That may not sound like much of an achievement, but it Is viewed here as Q considerable one, taking into account the great difficulties with which the sport is confronted in London and elsewhere in Britain.
 Lew Jenkins Approached
 Another indication that real at- tempts are being made to brighten London boxing IS found in the re- port that feeler has been sent to Lew Jenkins, lightweight champion, to get his reaction on 8 trip to this bzomb-scarred capital to defend his title against Eric Boon, British lightweight champion.
 Interested nj the Boon match is the well known promoter, Sydney Hulls. Negotiations are being car- ried on, 1t is said, by Bill Daley, the American who handled the affairs of the New Zealand heavyweight, Maurice Strickland, in Britain.
 Against the chances of the An- erican coming here is the fact that he is tied up with the American promoter, Mike Jacobs. The British Home Office did not show en- thusiasm for a scheme by which Jacobs wanted to match British and American champions in New York.
 Boon Is eager for the match. He keeps very it by giving exhibitions.
 London King of Heavies
 The recent defeat of Larry Gains by Jad; London, British heavy weight who hopes ti challenge Len Harvey for the British title, was not surprising. Asked what he thought of the match, Harry Le- vene. manager of Gains, replied that 1t did not interest him, and Larry had accepted 1t against his advice.
 Levine is one of the best mana gers in Britain. Against the beliefs fo many So-called boxing experts he has revived boxers like Kid Berg and signed them for important matches. He has brought several boxers into the big-money class, and kept them there.
 Gains himself earned thousands of dollars with Levene when no other British manager could have got him Q big fight.

JOB AS UMPIRE
 BRACES HEALTH
 OF MILLIONAIRE
Wisconsin Loop Arbiter Doesn't Find Work
 Nerve Wracking

Fond Du Lac, Wis. (UP)-Any baseball arbiter who has heard the cry kill the umpire" ringing in his ears has reason to doubt the health full aspects of his profession.
 That's why umpires in the Wis consin state league believe Dolly Ross made Q mistake. He admittedly entered the umpiring business for his health.
 Ross Is a millionaire mad doesn't need his paycheck because his in. terests include two Miami hotels, a 300-acre plantation in the Mis- sissippi delta and various other real estate in the South.
 His physician prescribed plenty of outdoor acticity as s remedy for his arthritis, so Ross decided to become an umpire. He is now the boss of the state league arbiters and has a reputation as the toughest umpire in the circuit.
 Stern on Occasions
 Harry Rice, former Washington Senator star and manager of the Fond Du Lac Partners, can testify as to Ross stern methods of en- forcing decisions. Ross once waved Rice to the showers, emphasizing the banishment with a $25 fine.
 There is another unusual side to the Ross history. He has rejected two offers from major league base ball, once as player and once as an umpire.
 It seems that Ross became an outstanding southpaw pitcher in the Kitty league after he left col- lege in 1909. He played with Mem phis in 1911 and was sold to the Boston Red Sox at the close of the season.
 Ross then caused much con- sternation in the Red Sox front cfflce by calmly announcing that he would not report. His plantation in Greenwood, Miss. was paying him & substantial income and he didn't want to ruin his love of base" ball by submitting to the pressure. of the big leagues.
 Argument DeGies Answer
 The Red Sox could not answer CIlhEb HIB01IlouVs NOAAoS4AOAVeJP SAO continued his minor league career. He played in the Pacific Coast league and the Texas league until he entered military service during the World War.
 After he was discharged, he turned to umpiring, officiating in a college circuit and acting as coach of the Mississippi A. & M. team.
 The next season Ross took g non" paying job as umpire in the Cotton States league where his work at tracted the attention of Ban John. son, late president of the National league. Johnsno offered Roes a chance in the majors, this time as an umpire, at a salary of $6,500. But Ross was still immune to the lure of the big leagues and refused the job.

BOTH COMBINES PREPARED FOR
 SATURDAY GO.
Crosby Coming Off Best Effort of Season; Tech in
 First Local Showing

Though little or nothing is known of the general football ability Of Leavenworth's 1941 squad which has played all three of its games out of town thus far this season, at Mid- dletown, Manchester and in the mud at New Haven, and two of them finished as scorelesS ties; the Tech Crosby High game scheduled TOT Saturday at the Municipal Stadium Is expected to follow the pattern of he past two seasons.
 Two years ago, Crosby shaded r.eavenworth 2 to 6, while Tech ,ame through last year with its iweetest victory in school sports his- .ory and 8 to 6 verdict over Crosby which, apparently never will be for- rotten. On the strength of its two standoffs on foreign fields, in Man ,hester and New Haven, Leaverl- worth seemed to have a little edge on Crosby which played scoreless tie with Norwalk, when two Nor walk touchdowns were nullifed by penalties; and then last to Ansonia and Torrington, only to come bourld- ing back last Saturday with a scir- tillating 18 to 0 shutout over a Bridgeport Central High combina- tion coached by Eddie Reilly, that was figured as an almost sure win ner over the Schofield squad which seemed to be unable to "get going. However, the team suddenly clicked,
 he line became strong, the backs fast and tough and four periods ot team play, plus good defensive work, brought Crosby through with a three touchdown margin of victory and, better still, its own goal-line unsul- lied for the first time this season, barring the Norwalk game.
 AlI-ImpOrtant
 The Tech coaching combine ot of Bill Tracy and James O'Neil want to win this game Saturday in pref erence to a trip to the Rose Bowl by plane, while Mentor W. Kilroe Scho- field is just as determined that Leavenworth shall be very much on the short end of the score after an hours action Saturday afternoon. Another game of the kind played against Central, will, of course, make Crosby extra tough to beat, and with that S-6 setback of 1040 hang ing over them, Leavenworth figures to have its troubles winning against a team which, seems to have sud. denly found itself.
 Promising
 Tn Hummell, Lombard, D'Agostino and Phelan of teh backfield, and Kyros, Shembriskas and Cruess on the line, Crosby has a few lads to be reckoned with, but, against that is a spirited Tech team that has been bolstered c bit since the return of Adams, a back who has been out of action with injuries. Then there's Kozen and Matalunas, a pair of ends who may be quite a thorn in Crosby,s side as the game wears on, with Papa and Walishinsky at guard and tackle in 8 line that is apt to play prominent part in the Tech attack and even more important in it's defense.
 All in all, the game figures to be one that, given good weather, will attract at least 2,500 students and Q thousand adults in time for the kickoff.

Evashevski Lauds
 Team-Mate Harmon In Mag Review

Ann Arhor, oct. 14-It's tough to be an All-American, but to De an All American as famous as Tom Harmon IS even worse-you can take 1t from Forest Evashecski, Harmon.s blocking ace and one of Toms closest friends during his four years At Michigan. For Evassheski turns author in the November Esquire with an article on Harmon and his troubles as Q perennial All-Ameri. can. "To the thousands outside" says EvashevSki. "larmon's career seemed filled with nothing but ecstacy. But I knew 1t was differ" ent. had seen the obstacles he had to overcome"
 Toms biggest obstacle was his relationship with his teammates. He came to Michigan after 8 phe- nomenal high school career and his cool self assurance was resented by the other players on the Wolverine squad. And the fact that Harmon actually was as good as he thought he was didn't help the situation. ''The teams resentment was unfair, :" declares Evashevski. Tt was true, of course, that Harmon was catching the headlines, but that was nothing to blame on him. And we were all riding to glory on his back"
 Every All-American selection in 1889 included Tom Harmon, yet ironically, he failed to receive the very honor he wanted most--to be elected captain by his teammates. "When l was announced as the cap- tain-elect," writes Evashevski, "my heart went out to Tom because l knew the depth of his disappoint- ment. But he was the first to wish me well. And as we walked home he said to me, Evy, you 2 know how much that meant to me. The boys will never know my feelings about 1t: but I must confess-they showed good judgment.' Because I under stodd how he felt, I really appre~ ciated what Tom did the next sea- son. From the opening day of prac- tice until the final game, I was dyamically and dramatically assist ed in every way in my duties by the boy who had been refused the job."
 1ElgHndeEstood
 'sBut," continues Evashevski in Esquire, q don't think the team really understood Tom Harm0n's genuine unselflshness till the last game of our last seasor--Ohio State. We all stood around lzl the locker room after that game not knowing quite what t0 say to one another until Tom broke the silence. It's ell over nov 60 I can speak my piece, he said.

made those long runs, every one of them was the result of fine team blccking-H1ot because was a great halfback. You fellows have stood for lot when I got the headlines on Sunday morning after you had tlayed your hearts out on Saturday. The stock reply of oh, 1t was nothing was chorused by the team, but Harmon had said the magic wordsl"
 Tom had received perhaps the greatest tributes q football player has ever received. but, according to Evasshevski in Esquire, his great. est happiness was in feeling that now all was right with his team mates. Publicity is like perfume" 1" Harmon told Evashevski one day. Tt should be inhaled but not swal- lowed. ! started of on the wrong foot by taking those press clippings too seriously.

0GAgOOAop UAAA AS is apparent that Navy got the jump on Army in the matter of recruit ing football talent.
 Though they have yet to play Cornell, Pennsylvania and Notre Dame, I won't be startled If the Future Admirals go through un- beaten.
 Against Southern Methodist, Fordham forwards stood up to match as fine set of backs as you would care to see. The Ram will take lot of beating.
 I have a hunch Boston College will snap out of 1t as the result of the disaster at Tulane. The Eagles are big and swift.
 PENN STRONG DESPITE LOSS OF STAR PLAYERS
 Smashing Harvard, Pennsylvania demonstrated that 1t remains in the thick of things despite heavy losses by graduation-Francis Reagan ana some more.
 Carl Snavely has only to de- yelop & pair of ends to keep Cor nell in the running after a thor" ough demobilization, and the soft spoken Pennsylvanian has e way with lineHneH.
 vale has remarkable Sopho. moreS including two left.handed passers, and fine spirit aS 1t dem- onstratedonstrated in coming back in the second salf to overcome the i9-point lead of Q cocky Virginia varsity.
 A number of football scouts considered the Colgate freshmen as good 6 team as there was on the Atlantic seaboard last term. You can imagine what Andy Kerr has this trip.
 Dartmouth has q high rolling club lcakin gonly reserve strength In the line.
 Syracuse demonstrated the worth of its wealth of talent by playing the socks off Colgate.
 Princeton has large squad that lacks speed.
 COLUMBIA HARD HIT; HARVARD TALENT THIN
 Columbia suffers for lack ot numbers and has been hit hard by injuries and the departure of Full back Len Will. But Lou Little has plenty of quality and heads one of the trickiest coaching staffs in the business.
 Harvard material Is s6 thin that Dick Harlow had to change his formations.
 Temple should 90 places. It has one of the grandest backs in the country in Tomasic.
 Georgetown Is big, but was fore tunate to get overMississippi and was shaded hy Virginia Tech, which was swamped by Kentucky.
 Army is more alert ct this stage of the campaign than 1t has been for years. Red Blaik Is working the boys overtime. He'll have something before the last shot is fired.
 DUQUEsNE TAKES RANK AS PITTSBURGH'S FINEST
 Pittsburgh Is tougher than 1t has appeared to date, though Duquesne Is now the hot club of the Golden Triangle. Carnegie Tee has little.
 Manhattan is well drilled and has key runner and passer in Castig- Hone.
 New York University hasn't row after row of players, but Is capable of stirring up trouble.
 Lafayette Is below par.
 Sullivan and GrigaS are capable backs who should give Holy Gross momentum as the season rolls along.
 Vilannova has an attractive squad made even brighter by Bib Clipper Smiths showmanship.
 West Virginia did all right against Navy until it ran out of gas, which Is saying something for the Mountaineers.
 The east will see plenty of super lative college football this fall.
