 Just as Shore earned his hockey reputation through long association with the Boston Bruins of the Na- tional league, Johnson spent years with the New York Rangers after he left the amateur ranks as member of the Minneapolis, Minn., team. He recently has been acting as coach In the American associa- tion.
 Popular
 Perhaps no player ever left the National league who was more high ly regarded than Johnson. His fights with opponents, no matter how tough the going happened to be, were few and far between. He always wore a smile, whether he was knocking a rival to the ice, or was picking himself up after being batted down.
 Johnson brings a lot of hockey brains and great spirit into the American league, and under his direction the Ulines are expected to be one of the circuits real powers, even in their first season. His own presence on the Washington bench should add color to a league that is loaded with outstanding hockey personalities.

were so strong that they could not be blocked out.
 Harrell and the others would jam the interferer right back into the hole.
 Harrell did not play football until he was appointed to the Naval Aca- demy, but he was a slx-foot one inch. 2O2-pound wrestling champion at Oklahoma A. and M. It isn't much of a trick to teach swift young man like that considerable football.
 Gene Flathmann, all 250 pounds of him, was out with Q slight knee injury. but Cornell is quite positive the midshipmen didn't miss the lad who is reputed to be their best of- fensive tackle.
 Bill Chewning played enough tackle for two or three blokeS. You can imagine what it is like when the two of them are in the thick of things.
 Cornell had the ball five yards from the Navy goal line on third down, but gave 1t up two plays later on the Navy 25,
 That gives you a rough idea.

Rapid Rise Of Robinson One
 Of Years Thrills

New York, October N-Few are the fighters in ring history whe' have risen to the top with the rapidity of Ray Robinson, youth ful Harlem welterweight who faces the big test of his brief profess sional career when he clashes with F'ritzie Zivic in ten-round match at Madison Equare Garden week from tonight.
 It was just q year ago this month that Robinson engaged in his first professional contest, a four-round bout which opened the Gardens 1940-41 indoor season. In the feature bout that night N(Oct. 1, 1940) Henry Armstrong lost his welterweight title to the same Zivic who now meets Robinson.
 The Harlemite had Joe Eche- varria, tough Puerto Rican, as his opponent and he disposed of Eche- varria quickly, scoring knockout in the second round. Robinson had five more fights during the balance of i940, only one opponent lasting the distance.
 Thus far this year he has pare ticipated in l9 contests, for an average of almost two month, registering IS additional kayoes and outpointing the other four.
 Worthy Foes
 The opposition encountered by Robinson in his spectacular rise has been far from soft. He has met many outstanding performers among them Sammy Angott, N. B A. lightweight titleholder, whoH he defeated in ten rounds: Pete Lello, crack Chicagoan, knocked out in four: Jimmy Tygh, kayoed in eight heats and then in one: Frankie INlllace, halted in one; Norment 4uarleS, stopped in four; Maxie Shapiro, knocked out in three.
 Practically all the Robinson op- poneiss have been lightweights, ot course, because 1t was in thai division that Robinson now seeks championship honors. Certain it ia that if Robinson can keep his rec. ord clean by vanquishing Zivic, former welterweight champion, il will be difficult to deny him a title opportunity.

 New York, October 25-(Up) = Scattered paragraphs containing scattered thoughts:
 The talk now Is that Duke, Texas and Fordharn are almost sure shots to get Bowl invitations If they keep rolling. Duke has a com paratively soft schedule and should come through tlndefeated. Today and next Saturday will tell the story about Fordham, for if the Rams can beat Texas Christian and Purdue, the rest will be easy. Texas has its work cut out for 1t. All the boys have to do. is handle Rice, Southern Methodist, Baylor, Texas Christian, Texas A. @ M., and Ore- gon.
 The way Red Davis, new infield- CT of the New York Giants, got started up the baseball ladder sounds like a movie script. He and his brother were playing with a semi-pro team in Pennsylvania and a scout showed up one day to have a look. Red played second base and his brother, Bob, played shortstop. The scout liked the shortstop and sent him a contract, but Bob decided he didn't want to play baseball for a living. So brother Red grabbed the contract, signed Bobs name to 1t and re- ported next spring. For two years he played under his brothers name and then resumed his own name John Humphrey Davis--when the social security records became con- fused.
 Help! ,
 This is going to be a tough day for your agent who uses the hunt and peck system on the typewriter when covering football games. I'm going to the Fordham- Texas Christian game and all have to cope with in the Fordham lineup are names like Ritinski; Sabaste- anski, Hudacek, Pieculewicz, And- rejco and Filipowicz. Help, helpl
 Carl Hubbell Is drawing near the end of the road as a pitcher and the feat he will be remembered for chiefly is that he once struck out five straight American League sluggers in an All-Star game - Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and Cronin. Another great job he did that is not remembered by many l was the way he started out against the Washington Senators in the 1883 world series. He famed the first three men up in the first in- ning-Myer, Goslin and Manush. Incidentally, the dope is that when Bill Terry starts rebuilding the Giants he has permission, to sell or trade anybody on the club except Hubbell, Mel Ott, Johnny Rucker and Babe Young.
 Among the top passers of the na- ton please put little Jimmy Rich ardSon of Marquette. He has com- pleted 21 of 27 passes this season, and, most remarkable, has not had one intercepted. He completed Sev- en out of nine against Wisconsin and was responsible for two touch- | downs.
