Extra Props Uniform

It's silly, but the University of
Georgia is lugging complete foot
ball uniform, including shoulder
guard and pads, clear to Pasade-
ma, Calif.-purely IS props.
The uniform belongs to Georgia S
place-kick specialist, Leo Costa,
and the only reason he dons it
dutifully before every game is that
tn rules say he must be COM
pletely protected. He hasn't play
ed a second n C e the opening
game his sophomore year-he saw
four minutes service at center
against Oglethorpe - but he has
scored in every game Georgia has
played in the last three years.
In all he has scored 102 points
since matriculating as a freshman
at Georgia in 1899, all of them
place-kicks for extra points after
touchdowns, booted while play
ing time officially is suspended.
Georgia partisans like to say
that Costa never misses. But he
does, occasionally. Georgia scored
"a touchdowns this year in its sue
cessful bid for a Rose Bowl in
vitation-and Leo-the-Lion convert
ed extra points 43 times. Two of
the II bobbles went wide of the
uprights, and nine were blocked.
At that, he ranked seventh among

early last summer. today was ac.
claimed as the years outstanding
comeback in sports.
Some of the nations sports writ
ers balloting in the annual poll
of the Associated Press showed
where the.1 feelings lay by point
ing out that the most glorious
comeback of all was accomplished
by Eddie Rickenbacker but
confined to sports the preference
for Armstrong was overwhelming.
The feat of the ST. Louis Cardi-
mails in making two comebacks,
first to snatch the National league
pennant from the Brooklyn Dod-
gers and second to win the world
series after losing the first game
to the New York Yankees, was
recognized as the second most i'm
portant about-face. Sixteen scribes
rated the Cardinals on top and
dozen others split their votes be-
tween second and third places to
provide the Redbirds with total
of 66 points.
The Spectacular pitching of Lefty
Larry French for the Dodgers was
ranked third with 40 points, just
above the achievement of another
veteran, Ernie lombard of the
Boston Braves, in battling his way
back to the batting championship
of the National league. He receiv-
ed 80 points.
Another baseball comeback, the
rise of the St. Louis Browns, re-
ceived 20 points. The Toronto Ma
pie Leafs, who rallied to win the
Stanley Cup in hockey after losing
the first three games to the De-
troit Red Wings, rated % points.
Numerous football teams re-
ceived votes with Holy Cross lead

SCARCE MATERIALS
FORM Dim SHADOW
ON FUTURE GAMES
Army and Navy Use Great
Amount of Materials
In Fitness Programs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-R-A
material falling off in varsity ath-
letics, counterbalanced in part by
more attention to intra mural
sports, apparently is in prospect
for most American colleges and
universities next year.
This became apparent with an
nouncement by the Army and Navy
that many educational institutions
would be devoted in large part to
the training of specialists and
prospective officer candidates.
None was willing to hazard a
guess as to the exact possibilities
for the college sports program
football baseball, basketball,
track, all the other team sports.
For one thing, it wasn't possible
Immediately to forecast whether
teams from among, the student
bodies which probably w IL be
made up for the most part In
many schools of uniformed youths
training for duty with the armed
services.
Also, there remains the problem
of transportation, which during the
last football season caused severe
curtailntnt of schedules by some
schools.
However, among the last sea-
sons gridiron contests the bi g
''traditionar' games between long
time rivals drew better gates than
in wears. That might be accounted
for in two ways-a decrease IN
smaller games, plus the fact that
fans who were unable to make
frequent trips concentrated on one
or two of the bigger contests.
One big factor may we'll lnflu-
ence the Army and Navy when
it comes to deciding whether var
sity athletics should be continued.
That question is morale and wheth-
er discontinuance of varsity sports
would have an adverse affect.
Germany and England both have
decided that spectator sports are
necessary to maintain civilian mo-
ale. Sports events are maintain
ed as nearly as possible on the
usual scale in Germany. In Eng
and some steps have been taken
.oward assignment of men direct
V to continuing and fostering
sports contests of all kinds.
Said one spokesman for the
services:
THE Navy and the Army al
yays have put great emphasis ON
physical fitness. and sports pro-
vide one of the best means OF
keeping men fit. There'l probably
De plenty of intra-mural contests
out beyond that nobody can say
low."
The National Football league, at
is annual meeting here this week,
voted to continue operations next
year, but skipped the draft OF Sc
Nor college players, tn pros
main source of material. This may
cave the league without replace
nents for the droves of regulars
Who have left to join the armed
orces. Commissioner Elmer Lay
len indicated that if conditions
permit the annual selection would

Layden said the professional
club owners felt the league played
4 definite part in maintaining ci-
5ilian morale by furnishing spec
.ator sports contests.

nogginS without benefit Oh
the Saturday afternoon vio-
lence.
That there has been an unusual
hush surrounding the sale of the
Phils, indicating the National Lea
que may have to take the club over
after all. (Maybe they should Of
fer coupons with the purchase, or
a set of dlshes.)
That if one man were named TO
speak for all branches of the gov
erament in it's relations with sports
it would clarity things consider
ably, and sports would know just
where they stand. AS it is sports
have to get rulings from manpoW-
er, transportation and other al
phabetical directors separately,
and then don't know just what S
what.
That the A. A. U. and U. S. L..
T. A. are taking lot for granted
in announcing a business-as-usual
pvogram next year.
That Branch Hickey really put
Sam Breadon on the spot in saying
that the Cardinals had nothing to
worry about the next five years.
And he fenced himself in with a
nice advance alibi in saying it
would take five years to rebuild
tne Dodgers, a club that won only
1G4 games this year.
That, considering the difficulties
of selection because of daffy
season, the bowl committees did
pretty good job of lining up
tncir games, it might be pointed
out the Phils beat the Cardinals
cnce in awhile.
That colleges have been the
least cooperative, both in contri-
buting to war charities and in
helping ease the transportation
problem. The schools made no ef-
fort to discourage attendance at
their football games when they
knew that huge crowds meant
many customers were coming
from distance.
That if the idea of splitting the
major leagues into eastern and
western divisions were carried
through it might be funny to have
a world series between two Am
erican League or two National
League clubs.
That the clubs which made mon
ey last season have chance to
show their sportsmanship by vol
unfairly boosting the salaries OF
deserving players who, because OF
fear of public opinion, will be un-
willing to come out in the open
with demands for more money.
That although the race tracks
contributed handsomely to chari-
ty, they didn't cooperate fully.
Some of those nags should have
been turned in for fat long ago.
That a fighter winning the title
of duration champion" will have
a cheesy title at best. Limburger,
at that.
That right now the only thing
that anpears certain to last for the
duration is the war.
