New York, Nov. 4.-Directors of the Brooklyn Baseball Club are to be congratulated for giving Branch Rickey, Sr., flve-year contract as president and general manager.
 Hickey is the most constructive man in baseball.
 Larry MacPhail took the Dodgers out of hook and returned them to the stockholders, but that is as far as he went. The stockholders wound up with the club, but nothing else. MacPhail spent money as fast as the outfit earned it.
 Given a fair shake in conditions, if there is professional baseball next year. Hickey will show profit, which happens to be what the stockholders are after.
 Hickey takes over club which next spring is likely to fall apart like the one-hoSs shay. It requires considerable rebuilding and B. R. is the smartest hand along this line in the business. The Dodgers are loaded down with l0-year men, who have no trading value. Having a flock of old blokes around may be an advantage in a war yer, but B. R. is fellow who looks frter ahead than that.
 Watch him quickly build a minor league feeder system that will keep the Dodgers stocked with young players.
 There was baseball saying while Hickey was with the St. Louis club: ''No one ever dies on the Cardinals"
 It meant that Rickey got rid of them before other outfits sensed they are lost that step or the one spin on the fast ball.
 Hickey will operate the same way in Brooklyn and, with big money making franchise, will be tough to beat all the way along the line.
 Some regret that the balmy days are finished in Flatbush.
 No more Uncle Wilbert Robinson arguing with taxi drivers. No more birds flying from Casey Stengels doffed baseball cap. No more Babe Hermans outfielding in self defense and three runners on one base. NO more cantankerous and rollic.sing Red McPhails.
 Still I'm not so sure the fun is over in Brooklyn.
 Didn't Hickey not only round up but encourage the old Gas-House Gang of the Cardinals?
 Rickey, who coached at Michigan, is a great believer in the old col- lege try and is not without sense of humor and a flair for snowman ship. He believes in keeping the game close to the people.

Upwards of 8O,000 spectators will fill every nook and cranny of cav ernous Yankee Stadium Saturday and twice that number will be wish ing they had tickets to see eastern footballs annual big show, the Army -Notre Dame game.
 Every year when the Fighting Irish and the Fighting Cadets meet, even though their football teams are below par which sometimes hap pens, there isn't room in the mouse that Ruth built" to contain the crowd. Tickets are gone before the football season even gets out of the diaper stage, and those unfortu- nate enough to be related to con- gressman or a cadet, willingly pay from $15 to $100 for $3.30 seat behind the goal post.
 Men and women from the four points of the compass, and gate crashers from over the fence many of whom never see another game throughout the season. and who are under the delusion that a punt is a kind of sailing vessel, and that forward pass is reference to stage-door Johnnies all of these turn out with ebullient enthusiasm for the Army-Notre Dame encoun- ter each year.

 Those who attend the game every year and have been doing so ever since Grover Cleveland was pres ident Cor thereabouts) love to re- call the teams Knute Rockne used to bring to New York to pit against Biff Jones charges or those of Ralph Sasse. They delight in re- membering how Chris Cagle, three years an All-America halfback, staved of the best that the Irish could offer to keep Army in the running; how Jack Elder, Moon" Mullins, Frank Carideo. Marty Brill, Marchy Schwartz and the other Rockne backs tore of gains through holes which a Mack truck could move in without even scraping the lenders; how Bill Shakespeare and Andy Pilney threw the boar's B. V. DS all over the f1eld-and over the goal.
 Ten years hence, these hardy per- ennials should be able to look back on this game Saturday and remin- isce with pleasure. Fer, with both elevens near the top in nationwide standing. the fans should see plenty of football along with everything the game always offers in the chro- matic scale.
 Troublesome
 If Hank Mazur is back in tip-top shape, he should give Frank Leahy's men more trouble than a baited hook gives bass. Aiding and abet- ting him will be cne of the fastest backfield combinations in the East, farrell, Hill, Troxell, and Lombardo. Prior to the Penn game last week, critics thought and said that the Army backs were so good that mo- body would catch up with them ex- cept in the end zone. Now critics are just. thinking that.
 Against Army's formidable array of runners, the Irish will check in with six or seven "star-of- -the-week" selections-lads who were unheard of one Saturday and All-Americas the next Pete Asbaugh. Bob Livingstone, Jerry Cowhig, Johnny Creevy, Jim Mello, Creighton Miller and two or three others. The only Notre Dame back who has been consistently good from the start is Quarterback and Passer Bert Berteli. The Cadets realize that he is poison with his aerials, and they will be watching him. But weren't Stanford, Navy, Iowa Pre-Flight and the rest watching him too?
 Army hasn't beaten the Irish in over ten years now. It doesn't look as though they can do it this year. But nonetheless, the 80,000 will still be there. and they'll be having 8 whale of a time.

and who will be making a "despera- tion" fight.
 Army Bound
 We mention this "desperation' business because Dellicurti, of New York, only "A, is in IA and likely to be called at any time. And Delli- curti is the type who would like to enter service telling his buddies, I'm the guy who broke Robinson's $ winning streak"
 Everyone at this Lakeside camp realizes the potential danger of Del licurti's weight advantage and bothersome bobbing and weaving style. Dellicurti is a top flight mid dleweight who has licked such 160- pounders as Georgie Abrams, Cal Cagni and Walter Franklin. In 54 fights, he has been kayoed but once when Steve Belloise teed of unex- pectedly on him in the first round
 Robinsorl's trainer, George Gains ford, is worried no end by Rays lack of interest in his conditioning He remembers the casual attitude of Joe Louis at Lakewood, N. J., be- fore he was knocked out by Max Schmeling. Gloomy George has ban ned scowlingly every brown skinned Harlem belle from coming near this training camp. Which is restric- ton, indeed. because when Robin son was training here for other fights the gals from Lenox avenue Lindy-hopped all over this foothill of the mountain, and Robinson-a dancing master inside and outside the ring-danced with them, night and day.
 May Lose
 Trainer Gainsford is using all his salesmanship trying to convince Robinson that he may get licked this time. But Robinson doesn't believe him, even though he packs his somewhat fragile hands in Georgias healing red clay each night before he goes to sleep Hence it is that this is the first training camp we ever visited in which everyone, from trainer on down hopes that their charge will get his ears pinned back. And we hope SC too. A good licking now will be the best thing that ever happened ! to an over-confident young fighter.

Only a SOph, Too; Sink wich Leader in Total

By TOMMY DIVINE United Press Staff Correspondent

V Chicago, Nov. 5. (UP)-Another "Whizzer" White was the tag placed today upon Rudy Mobley of Hardin Simmons College who leads the na- tions individual ball carriers, acc cording to the latest figures com- piled by the American football sta- tistical bureau.
 Back in 1887 White emerged from gridiron obscurity and paced the University of Colorado, 8 stranger to big-time rankings, through an undefeated season. During the eight game schedule. White established modern football records by baining 112l yardss by rushing, an average of 140.1 yards per contest.
 Those two marks have stood up against all challengers for four sea- sons, but now Mobley appears cer- tain to break them. In five games to date the Hardin Simmons star has gained 882 yards, an average of 1764 yards per game.
 Medley has four games yet to play and needs only another day com parable to the one he had last Sat- urday against Arizona to break the record. Against Arizona he gained PAT yards by rushing as his team won 34 to 26.
 Lightweight
 Mobley is sophomore and weighs but 160 pounds. He and Camp Will son, a 2l5 pound freshman null back, have carried virtually the en- tire offensive burden for Hardin Simmons unbeaten outfit. Wilson ranks 16th in the nation in ball carrying with APT yards to his credit.
 Oddly enough this is the first sea- son Hardin Simmons has played a schedule representative enough to gain it place among the 125 major teams surveyed by the statistical bureau. It owns five straight vic- tories, including triumphs over two Southwestern conference teams, Baylor and Southern Methodist.
 Mobley replaces Bob Steuber of Missouri as the individual ball car rying leader. Steuber gained only 54 yards against Great Lakes last Saturday and is now second. Gene Fekete of Ohio State is third. Elroy Hirsch of Wisconsin fourth and Roy Mckay of Texas fifth.
 Georgia Peach"
 Frankie Sinkwich, the key-man of Georgia's great combination, con- tinues to set the pace in total of fense with 1436 yards. Paul Cover mali of Columbia is second, Mckay third, Ray Evans of Kansas fourth and Steuber fifth.
 Evans is the outstanding pasSer with T compilations out of 149 losses for 8 gain of 787 yards. Sink wich is second with 56 compilations out of 107 attempts. Governah ranks third, Lee Daniels of Texas A. & M. fourth and Otto Graham of North western fifth.
 The top pass receiver is Cullen Rogers of Texas A. & M. He has caught 25 aerialS for a gain of 29S yards. Otto Schnellback of Kansas is second. John Ferguson of Cali fornia third and Van Davis of Georgia fourth.
 Tulsa thoroughly dominates the team statistics, leading in totel of- fense, total defense, passing, pass defense and bunting. Boston Col lege leads in rushing defense and Hardin n-Simmons in rushing offense,

 Greenwod Lake, N. Y, Nov. B. (UP)-This is the first training camp we've ever seen in which everyone concerned seems to be try ing to destroy fighters confidence attempting to make him realize that he may get licked the next time out.
 They're trying to take the cocki- ness out of Ray Sugar" Robinson, as he preps for Friday nights 1O- round fight with Vic Dellicurti at New York's Madison Square Gar den. Robinson is a welterweight, unquestionably the best in the world, but he is tackling another good middleweight because he has run out of opposition in his own class.
 But here at the lake, where Joe Louis and Henry Armstrong trained for important fights, we find slen- der young negro from Harlem who seems sated with victory, because nobody ever licked him as an anna aeur or professional.
 Robinson, 9 years old. has won 37 professional fights and 89 anna teur bouts. He holds the all-time record of amateur professional vic- tories-126 in row. He has licked everyone in the welterweight di- vision except Champion Freddie Cochrane-now in the Navy-who can't put his title on the line. That's why they call Robinson uncrowned king of the welterweights. And that's why he has been forced to move up into the middleweight class to find worthwhile competi- fiOn.
 But this "uncrowned" business is the worss thing that ever could have happened to young Robinson. It gave him the idea that nobody in inc world, at any weight, could lick him. And so he's laughing off and dancing away this conditioning pe- Fiod = as he has done so many times in the past. And that may he a mistake. Vic Dellicurti is a fair middleweight, who will out weieh rapid Ray about 10 pounds,
