Terrell Announces
 Annual Comeback
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 New York - Spring can't be far away, for Wesley Terrell has made his annual comeback announce" rnent.
 "Ail I want is 0 fair chance" says Yves Terrell, who has had more op- portunitlos than Q wayward son Of the rich.
 He won 20 and lost 10 for the Red Sox one season, which is some. thing in the way of evidence that he was given some kind of Q chance that year.
 Ferreli had lost his stuff when he held out and Cleveland let him to to the Red Box.
 He had tried outaelding. A cork Ing hitter, as pitchers 60, he sus. pected he could do c Babe Ruth # given 0 chance daily.
 But the threat Ferrell packed batting every three or four days disappeared when the pitchers got to looking at him steadily.
 Terrell was a great pitcher when he had 1t, however, aS his record of 02 victories in his first four years with the Indians shows.
 Van Lingle Mungo, sent to Min. neapoliS by Brooklyn, complains that the home of tho MlllerS iS too cold for him.
 Well, Van Mungo, may rest aS. sured that 1t can get as hot in Min- neapolis in July, August and Sep. tember as it can any where in his native South Carolina,
 T would rather go into tho Army than 70 to Minneapolis" asserts Pitchers -Outfelder Mungo.
 The answer to that one Is that oil ha has to do iS visit tho nearest re. cruitlng station.
 The hitch there is that Van Mungo would have to behave hims self in the Army.

 New York, Dec. 23-(UP)-ThiS column really shouldn't have been written before December 26 because it contains c Christmas present for every fight manager in the United StAtes--a complete set of blue printA of the boxer who someday will knock the world heavyweight crown from Joe Louis kinky head.
 The specifications and dimensions aren't lnine. They were drawn up by Q man who has been knitting good, bad and indifferent boxers to- gether again for 50 long he carries sutures in every pocket, twlrls a swab stick in his inouthi instead Of of a tooth pick and prefers spirits of ammonia to beer.
 He is Ray Arcel, Q lean, graying operative of undetermined years. He has been a trainer and a second since 1914 and around Hammers lane he Is known as the meat wagon" That's because 1t has been his task to drag 10 of Louis rivala back to their corners and revive them.
 In the course of these duties, Ar- eel has met just about every fighter in the world who can't defeat Louis including Galento, Godoy, Mccoy, Brescia, Nova, Uzcudun, John Henry Louis, Buddy Baer and others. Tn view of this, @ flash of sheer genius prompted me to ask Ascel if he had any definite ideas of the sort of man who could defeat Louis. He had, and here they are:
 Perfect Specimen
 On the physical side he would be boy around 23 who stood five feet, il inches tall afd weighed 1eO or Ie5 pounds, No heavier, because then he would lose speed and he can't af- ford to do that. His neck would be short, his chest and stomach well muscled and his hands strong so that they wouldn't fail him when he needed them most.
 His first professional equipment would be the ability to take a punch and not only keep his feet but keep moving forward. He would have a lethal left hook. That's important because a left hook hos put Louis on the floor twice and can again The boy also would be able to dodge bob, weave, duck and punch ct the same time he advanced.
 As for mental makeup, get this straight at efice-he wouldn't b0 a

thinker. Arcel says Louis can't be out-sinarted, stared Into submiasion or lured into traps ct this advanced date of his caree. The boy would Do able to count 10, of course, but brains wouldn't matter If he had enough of the killer instinct.
 That's my man, briefly" Arcel said wistfuliy. That's the boy for me. And do you know what I'd tell him when I sent him out of tho corner2 I'd say to him, Get out there and start punching, bub, and forget everything in the world ex- cept the point of Louis chin and tke imaginary target over hlS heart. And don't stop punching as long as you're on your feet'."
 Even for Q dream man this task wouldn't be just whipped cream and chery tarts. Arcel considers Louis one of the realy great fighters; next to Benny Leonard. the Arcei Idol, maybe tho greatest he has seen. With that in mind, he says, 1t would be best to catch him after Q lay. of, aS Al Mccoy did, for then Louis always takes Q while to regain his timing.
 Jack and JOe?
 After studying this blue print at length, I could think of only one man 1t would fit--the mean, hungry Jack Dempsey of 1922. I mentioned this to Arcel, but he was too smart to be enveloped by an argument which flames every time the boys sit down at bar and begin dream ing up impossible bouts.
 Maybe I'm thinking of Dempsey and maybe I'm notS he grinned. You guess. I can't compare men who were % years apart. Why Buddy Baer had Louis on the floor once and could knock him out on January 9. Boxing is funny that way. But I will ssy ! can't see how any man could have whipped the Dempsey of the Firpo or Willard bouts. On the other hand, can't see anyone beat ing the Louis of the Carnera or second SchmeMng fights. But, boy, oh boy, what a riot those two-Demp- sey and Loaiis---would have put on while it lasted"

Johnny Wander Nicer, Reds south- paw who started c comeback, came fifth with 2eS.
 Thus the Reds, who existed last season solely on their pitching, landed three men among the first first, Walters fourth and Wander Nicer fifth. Even 50 tho Reds had to bow to the champion Dodgers in the club pitching ranks. Brooklyn led the league with an earned run average of 3.i4 as compared to Cin- einnatlS 3.i7.
 Kirby Hi6Se, tho Dodgers' SlOO,. co beauty was one of the loops hardest workers and most active pitchers even though he fiaished no higher than ninth in earned runs with 3.i4.

 New York. Dec. 23--(UP)-The return Of Robert Riggs to the mems national championship, coupled with his subsequent abdication for 0 Ca- reer as a professional, and the doln- finance of E:rs. Sarah Falfrey Cooke in women's competition provided oil the color offered by the weakest American tennis season in c decade.
 While tournament receipts droppd Alarmingly and many events were abandoned indefinitely, Riggs TO. gained the title he had won in 1889 and lost in i040 by roundly drubbing Frank KovackS of Oakland, Calif., in the finals of the U. s, champion. ships at Forest Hills, N. Y. with the Wimbledon tournament In England again cancelled, Riggs automatically became the worlds No. 1 player.
 KovacS, who not only reached tho finals at Forest Hills but won the eastern grass cuorts title at Rye, N. x., was ranked second at the end of the year and joined Riggs in the professional ranks. Prank Parker, the erstwhile Milwaukee boy won- der, won the National clay court title and was ranked third above Don McNeill, the defending cham pion who completely collapsed.
 Not Much Action
 Generally speaking. play in the major tournaments was dull. Riggs he'd the ability but not the color: Kovacs had crowd appeal but lacked driving power. The war eliminated top-ranking foreigners as conten- ders end again cancelled competi- ton in the Davis cup, still held by Australia.
 n the mems bracket, only the two young Californians who repeated as national doubles champions-John Kramer of Montebello and Ted Schroeder of Glendale appeared up @ the par of previous years. These youn@sters were all but invincible

New Haven, Conn, Dee. 2a-(Up Speculation on Yales new heae football coach vied with campus re- ports Of Q change in athletic policy today as Director of Athletics ogden Miller announced that the Teslgra- tiioal of pT. Emerson (gplke) Nelson would not affect the continuation oi sports at tho university.
 Nelson, whose ie4i Yale team won oniy ono game whEe losing seven was the universltys first Tion-gradu' ate head football coach and his afl- nouncement laset night that he in. tends to enter tho procurement di vision Of the army engineer corp came as Q surprise. Despite his poe season he was popular with student and was expected to remain on q job.
 Uncertainty
 He said he had been considerini this REaovO for c few weeks becauSt Of the uncertainty of athletics Aflt general conditions" He will repor to Lieut.. Col. II. 3. Vaughan, Jr head of the procurement division, Q Philadelphia, January 3. He has "th idea in mind of obtaining Q comnh sion."
 Nelson, who had been asslstar coach At Yale, succeeded Raynnor (Ducky) Pond when Pond resigne after 6 disastrous i040 geason.
 There was fio indication Ag 1 whether ogden Miller, Yales atE letlc director, had anyone ii min for Nelson's job "Yale," he sait plans to i'll the position of heat coach of football and to carry ou it's intercollegiate football schedul next fall 50 for as conditions prt vailing ct that time and the wiBhG of the national government will a low"
 Leaves with Regret
 NeiSoii'S resignation was totali, unexpected. In Q recent speech, Miller indicated he would retain the former MissiSsippi state collegg head coach next year, despite the slump in tho Hi record. But, out of . clear sky, cane this message from Nelson:
 "f have resigned my poSltion al Yale to Do free to join the staff of the procurement department Of tho United States engineer corps tn Philadelphia. ! leave Yale with rec gret, but in these times of national stress ! cannot refuse the opportu. nity to serve which has come to me-"
 NeiSonb resignation meant that Yale would have It's third head coach within the same number Of years.
