NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10 -

lot of blue chips on his record
money winning stack here Sat
urday if he takes the 5000

he should be forced by field
of sharp competitors to break
the 26-year-old mile and a quar-

"Mr. Big Tail" stepped that
distance in 2:03 rs in the
Washington Handicap at Laur-

is expected to find the medium

Cravath Blue
Over Chances

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1O-(R
- IT in the past has spelled
nothing but trouble to U. S.
C.'s football Trojans, and Coach
Jeff Cravath says he has no rea-
son to expect anything but more
of same next Saturday.
The TT of course, is the tricky
Information. In three years of
striving, the Trojans haven't
been able to win a game against
it, and they'll face a version of
the attack when they 60 against
the Bruins of University of CAL
ifornia at Los Angeles in the
Memorial Coliseum Saturday.
Cravath is grumbling an d
grousing because his club has
been installed a slight favorite
for the game.
"Why should we be the fav-
orites?" he demanded. We've
never beaten the Information"
u. c. l.. A. employs what
Coach Babe Horrell calls the
OF formation, but it embodies
the essentials of the offensive
which has caused the Trojans so
much trouble.
U. S. C.'s record against the
1T" this year is, in truth, any,
thing but impressive. Stanford
used it and won. So did Notre
Dame. Ohio State, which also
defeated the Trojans, employed
it some of the time against Troy,
and successfully.
Stanford adopted the T-for-
nation three years ago, and they
have beaten Troy ever since.
Cravath has scrimmaged his
men three times this " e e k
against the T attack. He has
been emphasizing pass defense,
in which the Trojans have been
woefully weak this season. The
statistics show that almost so
per cent of the passes tossed
against U. S. c. have been COM
pleted, the exact figure stand
ing at SO out Of 118. They were
good for 1873 yards, and resulted
in five touchdoWns for Troy's
foes.

Buddy Bon,ar
Still Holding
Pin Leadership
Elimination Round
in FinoI Phose
at Chicago

CHICAGO, Dec. 10 - up -
The nations leading bowlers,
without their annual ABC event
to look forward to, are going all
out in their pin blasting at the
Chicago All Star tournament.
And leading the way as the
elimination round entered its fl
nal phase today was lanky Bud
dy Bomar of Houston, Tex.
Bomar, certain to qualify for
the IL man round robin finals
which will run through Friday,
Saturday and Sunday and will
determine the 1943 match game
champion, already has turned in
such featS as:
Two of the highest five game
series - 1888 and 1929; high
single game-290; longest streak
without an "open" frame-62,
and highest average for the first
Is games-212.
Milwaukee, Frank Benkovic
owns the second highest series
-ll77 for a 235 game average
which he achieved by going so
frames without a miss.
Six in the field of 100 COM
peting for chance at Ned Days
match game crown all own bet
ter than 200 averages, which is
better than Day himself has
been able. to muster in his 80
game title match with Johnny
Crimmins of Detroit.
Day held a commanding lead
of 338.4O points to Crimmins'
324.14 in their separate battle,
which also ends today. The win
ner will pocket 81, 500 and the
loser $3.50, but both will COM
pete in the IL man finals where
another 81 500 first prize awaits
the victor.
1913 AVERAGE
Day kept his average around
the 1913 mark for the first 70
games. but it fell to 1918 last
night when he ran into trouble
and wound up with an 878 Sc
ries against Crimmins' $40.
In the title finals, the high
ten men in the elimination
round will join with Day and
Crimmins, each rolling a total
of 70 games with the winner
being decided on a point basis.
An oddly in the pairings for
today's final five games in the
elimination round found Bomar
drawing Vern Moon Of Chicago,
who is last in the field, as his
running mate.
Here is how the elimination
field shaped up entering today's
final five games:
There were some changes IN
the standings in the first 10 in
the all-star st a n d ngs, but
George Young of New York re-
tanned his runner = up spot by
scoring a 1908 series and a s.

Offering Real
Tile Threat
Engose Chicago
Beers in Opening
Of PIoyoffs
BY PAT O'BRIEN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-(P)
You can't tell what'll happen
when two tough outfits clash,
so don't sell the Washington
Redskins short.
That's the attitude OF the
Redskins, E a stern Division
champions of the National Foot
ball League, as they grid them
selves to meet the Chicago
Bears, Western titleholders and
defending kingpins of the pro
football world, in the playoff
here Sunday.
Coach Ray Flaherty of the
Redskins is tired of hearing of
that 1910 shellacking the Wash
ingtons took the last time
(1940) they met the Bears in a
playoff. He's weary, too, of
talk about the Bears being in
vincible, that the Redskins
function only when Slingin'
Sammy Baugh is pitching
strikes, etc.
We've got a big, hard
charging line, swell passer in
Baugh and good running backs
in Andry Farkas and Ray
Hare, and we've got some pref
ty fair blocking along with it,"
Flaherty said.
The Redskins, tearing up the
practise dirt at Griffith Stadium
where more than $4,000 fans
will watch them perform against
the Bears, are more than Sc
rious as they prepare for the
Chicagoans.
We've got to be in the best
possible condition for those
birds, but we aren't yielding
them a thing" opined Glen
(Turk) Edwards, Washington's
assistant coach.
BEST GUARDS
Edwards pointed to what he
termed the best set of guards
in the league - Clyde Shugart,
Steve Slivinski, Dick Farman
and Glenn Stralka as one of
the reasons those Bears won't
run through the Redskins like
they have every other team in
the circuit. And, he added, Wee
Willie Wilkin, 265-pounder
from st. Mary's, Calf, and Bill
Young, 250-pound specimen
from Alabama who harbors a
sincere beef against the Bears,
aren't the worst tackles in the
world.
Nobody hereabouts, least of
all the betting boys, is under
selling the Bears. They know
about their record, and of the
exploits of Bill Osmanski,
Gary Famiglietti, Sid Luck
man, Bulldog Turner, Lee Ar
toe, and the rest. But everyone,
from Flaherty and Washing
ton owner George P. Marshall
down, promises there'll be no
of that 1910 debacle.
The Bears originally were
booked to arrive here last
night for workouts at nearby
College Park, Md, home of the
University of Maryland. Cen
eral Manager Jack Espey of the
announced, however,
that through a change Of plans
