BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss, Dec. 90
Tulsa's football team finished its
first week of training for the New
Year Sugar Bowl game with rising
spirits and in fine condition here
today.
Glenn Dobbs and N. A. Keithley,
tailbacks, starred in a brief offensive
scrimmage following a long drill on
defensive formation. Booming punts
and swiftly executed passes worked
better against the Tennessee
Shockers" than in previous drills.
I'VE may not be rugged enough to
stop the Tennessee power" Coach
Henry Frnka said, but we're going
to be in condition. Tennessee prob
ably has the most powerful running
game in the country today and we
have to be ready for it. That's why
we're scrimmaging every day. So far
we've been pretty lucky about in
juries."
Dobbs already is in top form and
only minor injuries to Jerry Darcy,
center, and Bill Dost. fullback, have
been reported. Both are mending
well and will be ready for the game,
barring occurrences. However, the
latter two are not taking part in
contact work now.

ny Ford Prick, president of the
National League, and this equipment
is expected to be ready to ship to
soldiers, sailors and marines all over
the world in late February and early

Prick, who with President Clark

TO the armed forces, said he hoped
TO have approximately 100000 to
spend in this manner in 1943.

During the last season the ma or
and minor leagues raised $133,359
Tor this purpose, but $42,543 of the
fund was not expended because its
share of the proceeds from the
Cleveland All-Star Game was not
made available until late. AS a re-
suit this balance along with $25, 900

equipment had gone out to 1000 in

and military areas in 43 different

The enthusiasm with which it was
received was attested by many let

the tricks of picture making while
actual scenes were in progress.
But this tour, eagerly awaited for
days, wasn't made until Coach WAL
lace Butts had watched his men
skip through a long workout. The
entire morning was given over to
the attack. There was no scrim-
mage. Frank Sinkwich, the star
runner and passer, remained in his
hotel room resting his injured
ankles.
Sinkwich was able to accompany
his fellow players to the movie
studio, however. Trainer c. w.
Jones said Fireball frankie wouldn t
attempt any practice until Monday,
at the earliest.
Charley Trippi worked in Sink
wich's tailback spot with Ken Keu-

Phee, fullback.
U. C. L. A. practiced in the after

voted to the offense. The Bruins

of defense for the furious aerial as
sault they expect to encounter. For
the next few days Coach Babe Hor-
rell plans to stress the timing of
plays.
Both Bruins and Bulldogs will

BY the Associated Press,

EDGEWATER PARK, Miss, Dec.
26-"Stop that Tulsa passing at
tack" was the keynote of the Ten
nessee Volunteers workout here
today. as the team went through its
first full-speed scrimmage session
which lasted for almost an hour.
Coach John Barnhill said after
practice that his first team was dull
bat the second team showed pep
and determination.
He was far from satisfied with his
teams defense against the Tulsa
aerial attack and remarked that his
Vols would have to improve tremen-
dously in this department, if they
stop the Hurricanes passing game
on New Year Day in the Sugar
Bowl.
Bill Meek, blocking back, has been
kept out of the rough work due to
an ankle injury sustained yesterday,
and 1t will be sometime before the
husky senior can get back in the
lineup. He is valuable asset to
the Tennessee attack, particularly
since the blocking back is the most
essential man in the Vol system.
