other fine achievements made by

This season looked rather dark
at first to coach Tanner, who play
cd two of the great teams pro-
duced by G. N. Buchanan, but
when more than 20 boys whom the
school sent to the Connecticut to
bacco farms last summer, began to
return and many new corners, the
sign for a great team appeared
brighter. Coach Tanner with only
4 letter men had about "a other
boys ages from II to II yrs, from
which to mold a team, and up
to date with 7 games played only
20 points have been scored againSg
the Panthers, while thai set o.
backs made up of George Evans,
Johnnie Gilmore, Jessie Buie, John
II. Sims, Robert Dow, Willie Dill

points for a record.
The line is made up of Crumpj
Green, Williams, Gray and Davis

Many sport fans who have fol-

that the team has shown more
football than all others of the
school except the teams of 1904
There is in the making a big

MBC, Then Messers. Collier and
Mapp slashed forward for two first

the touchdown, the extra point
being good. Morris Brown led 7 to

Following the half, Morris Brown
was penahzed Is yards for taking
too much time during her home

Clark, the ball being run back to
the MBC 46. Clark reversed and
end-ran MBC backward for first

a first down gain through Collier
drives, but Clark pass intercept
ion spoiled the show. Clark threat
tened to score, but MBC power

Collier and Mapp.
CLARK TRIES HARD
The fourth period was virtually
an aIl-Clark one, the Partners at
tempting everything TO tie the
game and win it. Harper and con-
pany gained three first downs Ii
succession during one drive, bus
Morris Brown put on colorfuS
check every gain. With three min
utes of playing time left in the
game, Clark threatened Morris
Brown on the latter's four-yard
line, but it was no go.
During the half-intermiSsion,
Morris Brown put on a coolrful
show on the football field. Miss SUI

A one-point difference stood in
the record book scores of games
between the FL Centre junior col
lege cage team and the FL Centre
Marine Filters Wednesday. That
record will be changed when the
two teams meet in the rubber game
here Saturday night.
The Arabs started the series by
downing the Fliers by two points
week or SO ago. Last week the
Marines came back to win by three
points over the Arabs. And so it
stands.
Coach Gerry Dennerlein's boys
will have to show a little better
teamwork and ability Saturday
night than they did in their last
game against an Army team if they
wish to take the rubber.
The Army team, which had not

from in the best of game training,
won almost hands down.

Critics of Policy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-(UPp-
Secretary of State Cordell Hull to-
day denounced critics of the ad-
ministration' foreign policy who
he said, poured out vicious and
venemouS comments while Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill were working
on Allied war problems.
Hull's remarks were made in re-
sponse to requests for comment on
the fact that criticism of the State
Departments handling of North
African affairs conceded with the
Roosevelt Churchill meeting in
CaSablanca.
Hull said that the people who
believed the government to be in
error should wait until they were
in possession of the facts before
making their attacks. He said he
personally was content with the
policies of the government.
Hull pointed out that the Roose-
velt Churchill meetings began on

LEFTY GOMEZ GOES
TO BOSTON after
.13Y YANKEE YEARS

NEW YORK, Jan. 27. (UP)
-Senor Vernon CLefty) Co
mez, the goofy Castilian
whose seuthpaW slants help
I'd the New York Yankees
to seven pennants and six world
championships, was sold up the
river to the Boston Braves today
for an estimated $4,000.
The 32-year-old Spanish Irish
man thus ended a 13-year career
with the Yankees, during which his
antics became legendary and his
blazing fast ball made him one OF
baSeball'S ace southpaWS. In that
period he won 189 games and lost
l0l.
Ell Goofy, a wise cracking base
ball clown, was purchased from the
San Francisco Seals in 1929 for
S35, 900. He was a star of the Yankee
mound staff from 1881 through 1889
but had been on the market since
1910, when, suffering from an arm
injury, he won three and lost three.
He came back to win Is while los
ing five in l94l-but remained up
for sale.
The Yankees secured waivers on
him at the end of the 1910 cam
paign and almost sold rim to
Brooklyn. The deal fell through
when President Larry McPhail of
the Dodgers insisted on condi-
tional clause under which Gomez
would revert to the Yankees if his
arm did not respond to treatment.
Gomez became known in 194l as
one of the games best starting pit
chers-but one of its poorest finish
ers. In almost all of his Is victories
he needed late inning help from
Johnny Murphy TO hold his lead.
Last year he won six games and
lost four and did not see service
in the World series as the Yanks
were dethroned by the st. Louis
Cards After the season he took
job as watchman in a Lynn,
Mass, defense plant.
Gomez, in his first year with the
Yanks, $780, won two games and
lost five before being sent to St
Paul for experience. The next year
he came up to stay. Four times he
won more than 20 games a season
-21 in 1881, "a in 1882, IS in 1884
and 81 in 1887. His best season was
1884 with 26 wins against five losses
and an earned run average of 2.33
He led the league in winning per-
centages twice, earned run aver
ages twice, strikeoutS three times
shutouts once and completed games
and innings pitched once.
Gomez married June O'Dea, a
musical comedy star, in 1888.
