In rolling over seven big schools

High has scored 255 points-and
Tucker and Smith personally have

touchdown passes for most Of the

Tucker-WhoSe ball carrying would

In addition to scoring nine touch

Cubs Glimpse French Lick
As Possible Site for

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Oficials of
the Chicago Cubs, who said previ-
ously they would not seek an alter
nate spring training base until the
Office of Defense Transportation re-
quested it, today were at French Lick
Springs, Ind, presumably shopping
for a ball park they could use If
necessary.
Jimmy Wilson, Cub manager, and
Jim Gallagher, general manager of
the club, were at the Indiana spa
and the Chicago Times said the pair
had made inquiries as to weather
conditions, suitable playing field and
hotel accommodations.
The Cubs have been forced by
the war to give up their Catalina
Island, Calf, base after training
there 81 years, but had been PLAN
ming to use Los Angeles or Mesa,
Ariz., as preliminary workout sites
until the ODT recently stressed the

unbeaten basket ball team, bolstered
by victories over Fort Meade and
the Oklahoma Aggies, faces what
may be it's most difficult test next
Saturday night, when the Colonials
collide with Norfolk Naval Training

holds the ALT time scoring record at
G. w. with more than 600 points

scoring touch is illustrated by the
% points he scored against Camp
Pickett last week.
Here recently on leave, Chief Spe-
cialist Zunic expressed confidence
Norfolk Navy could whip any COM
bination the Colonials can muster

former college stars now performing
