 New York, Dec. 9-(UP)-FranR Sinkwich stopped humming My Devotion" and quit stuffing the ap- parel into his big black grip long enough to answer, "Sure-Id have turned professional next year if it wasn't for the war"
 Pro football gives a college player a chance to make a little nest egg for himself while he's trying to get started in the profession he pre- pared for at school" Sandwich add ed.
 Ha7el-haired Sandwich, who was changing from his U, S, Marine dress uniform to civvies in the little room at the downtown athletic club was talkative surprise to one who had been given to understand that the great Frankie was a man of few words.
 Sinkwich, of Georgia U, was hum- ming and bubbling all over the place as he got ready to take a train. And his vocals were echoed by another marine reserve, Paul Governali of Columbia. runner-up to Sinkwich in the voting for the Heis- man award to the outstanding col lege football player for i942.
 A newspaper man asked Sinkwich l: Do you like the running or pass ing game better9"
 Frankie, who looks much smaller than one would imagine, replied: T like the running game better. Even when was in high school my coach told me I'd never be 6 good paSser, But I did the best could at Georgia. did more passing this season than ever bflefore.
 But you must remember this I played only about 20 minutes of every game this season. Usually we had such a lead that Coach Wallace Butts figured I wasn't needed any more. That's why threw only 10 touchdowns this season, although I threw l4 last year when I waSn' { concentrating so much on pitching. and seven as sophomore. Yes, l like the running game lot better than the passing"
 This remark was greeted by a yowl from Governali. Hey, you can't kick the passing game around like that" he shouted.
 Governali. a sharp contrast to Sinkwich in every respect-taller. dark-haired and eagle-beaked - is one of the greatest passers the grid game ever knew.
 Sandwich was cornered near the bed where the little Bellhop was trying to close his over-stuffed grip. He was asked: What was the toughest team you player against?"
 Frankie gave the bellhop an as- siSt and said, Alabama. this season They were awful tough. Yes tougher than Auburn, which beat us. Auburn had a good team and good day, but Auburn really wasn't as tough as AlabamaA couple years ago Tulane was plenty tough too.'
 Sinkwich earlier had made a big hit with the 600 persons at the downtown 4. c. during the cere- monial presentation of. the Heismar Memorial trophy, a rather large and refty bronze figure of a football

ALEX SULLIVAN WAS
 GUEST OF HONOR

Naugatuck. Dec. 9.--Many friends of Alex Sullivan in Naugatuck were unable to attend the testimonial dinner given in his honor last night at the Ray Tomkins House at Yale university owing to the lack of transportation ff :ilities. If the event had been held in Naugatuck. it would undoubtedly have been a sell-out.
 Alex was honored by state ath- letic notables and sports writers who are vigorously boosting the lo- cal aquatic star for the James E. Sullivan Memorial trophy award for the year of 1922 for the outstanding athlete in Connecticut.

Private James is in the X-ray dark room attne huge induction center at Grand Central Palace, New York.
 Only 2, he does not believe the iayoff will affect his riding if he is out no longer than a year.
 Certainly I intend to return to the races" he says. That is all l know"
 James was raised among horses. His father, Lee, rode bucking horses at fair rOd0eS in the state of Wash- ington, where Basil was born in the Yakima valley.
 James is not predicting a short var. He is in no position to know anything at all about that, but he wants to put himself on record as saying that our boys are going to close rapidly as they say at the l track.
 If you could see the thousands Of young fellows going through this induction center and get the Sririt around here, you would know that, he asserts.

Army Took James Off AlSab'S
 Back And Jockey Is Proud Of It
Famous Rider
 Sees Our Side Closing With A Great Rush
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Dec. 0,-BaSil Bud James figures it cost him S25,00O when he ~inducted into the Army, August 28, but he wouldn't trade his uniform for all the money in the world.
 Basil James, you see, was riding Aisab, among other horses, when Uncle Sam called, after once re- tecting him as being too light.
 Alsab won the American Derby and earned teO,s60 the day James took an Army physical for the second time.
 James got 10 per cent of the colts earnings, collected 5000 the day he booted hi mhome first in The Preakness. That gives you a rough idea of what James sacri- feed for $50 a month and found, and Alsab really went to town following the sunnyside stylist's and Aisab really went to town fol- lowing the Sunnyside styliSt's last trip on him in the Belmont Stakes.
 But James, like thousands of other young Americans who were tops in professions and business and left to go to war, isn't complaining.
 T wouldn't be out Of this urli- form for anything on earth" he smiles.
