War Football Finishes
Most Successful Year

NEW YORK, Nov. %. II p
Footballs second season of the
present war opened last August
with a surprise triumph of the
college All-Stars over the Wash
ington Redskins and came to a
virtual end yesterday with an
other shocker-Notre Danes de-
feat by, the Great Lakes Sailors.
In between those two dates, the
gridiron sport gave a reasonable
facsimile of its peace-time self.
Generally, attendance was off
but not to the extent expected.
First-year men demonstrated they
could wear big time football he'll
NETS as modishly as they could
fresilmen's green caps. Scores
were more lopsided because of the
great differences between the
''halves' those with Naval tai
ent-and the have nots."
The Navy Departments decision
to permit its college trainees to
compete generally was recognized
as saving the sport.
And it was this decision that
made possible great teams at No
tire Dame, Michigan, Purdue,
Northwestern, Dartmouth. Georgia
Tech, Duke, Southern California,
Texas, Colorado College and
brought to the top ranks college
of Pacific, Southwestern of Texas,
Southwestern Louisiana Institute,
Depauw and Arkansas A. & M.
Notre Dame, which is reported
to have studied the possibilities of
dropping the sport in midsummer,
saved majority of its players
when the Navy ''froze" them on
the South Bend campus for furth-
err study. At the same time, the
talent shuttle brought them Julius

PHIL PITT TEAM

Luckman Throws 4 Scor-

Record
NEW YORK Nov g

NEW YORK, Nov. g. - up
In an upset as unexpected as Notre
Danes defeat on Saturday, the
Phil-Pitt Eagles today walloped the
Washington Redskins, 27-l4, in the
National Professional Football
League.
A capacity crowd of 35,826 at
Washington saw the Eagles smoth-
er Sammy Baugh's attempt at
passing in much the same manner
as the Redskins smothered Sid
Luckman a week ago when they
upset the Chicago Bears, 21-7.
The victory, first for the Eagles
over the Redskins since 1887, kept
alive the pennant chances of both
the Eagles and the New York
Giants in the Eastern Division. The
Giants play the Redskins twice On
successive Sundays. If they win
both games, and the Eagles beat
Green Bay next Sunday, the East.
ern race will end in triple TIC.
While the Eagles upset the Red
skins the Chicago Bears put on q
three-touchdown rally in the last
period to beat the Chicago Ca-d-
mails, IS to 225, and win the West
ern division title. Luckman threw
four touchdown passes to set
new record of % scoring passes In
one season. He had tied Cecil Is.
bells old mark of "a last week.
The Eagles, who previously had
tied the Redskins 14-14 at Philadel-
phia. displayed crushing ground
attack. They piled up 258 yards by
rushing to So, with Bob Thurbon,
former Pitt halfback from Erie,
Pa, scoring two touchdowns.
| The Giants had easy sailing
against Brooklyn, beating the Dod-
gers, 24-7. The Green Bay Pack
ers walloped the New London

HINKLE EXPLAINS
SAILOR SUCCESS
Pulling Linemen Together
Enables Jackets To
Upset Irish

GREAT LAKES, H., Nov. 3D.
LR-It was a maneuver akin to
tightening the belt before facing
adversely when 1t. Paul (Tony)
Hinkle told his Great Lakes foot
ball team to pull its linemen close
together to check Notre Dame S
rushing attack - taking chance,
of course, on end runs 1t worked
and that's how the Sailors kept
the Irish from an unbeaten sea-
son.
That was the calm but inward
ly jubilant Hinkle's explanation of
why mighty Notre Dame was sue
cessful on only two of it's fabu-
lous downfield marches yesterday,
pair which the Blue Jackets du-
plicated in the third period and
then outclassed with the superb
Lach-to-Anderson touchdown heave
in the last So seconds.
''Most of the times we used a
seven man line Hinkle said to-
day, Forgetting the usual spacing
and tightening up all along. Ger
tainly we were vulnerable to end
runs and they were successful on
a few, but we checked them down
the middle just enough
Meanwhile Great Lakes sprang
Emil Sitko and Dewey Proctor
through that seemingly impene-
trable Notre Dame line to outrush
the Irish and top them in first
downs. Sitko gained more than
100 yards, including scoots of 80
and "a yards, while Proctor ran
wild for better than $50, including
his So yard drive for the second
sailor touchdown that gave the
Navy IL to margin and paved
the way for that remarkable Irish
touchdown parade in the final Pc
Rod.
And that last Notre Dame score,
putting the Irish ahead IA to IL
with IS seconds left, would have
gone down in football history as
one of the most sensational come
backs Of all time. But the memo
ny OF that romp was erased by
the Frank Merriwen finish the
Sailors pulled 30 seconds later.
The Irish apparently won the
game on that cruise three-quar-
tiers of the length of the field,
and didn't use a pass. Johnny Lu-
jack had injured his shoulder in
the second period after throwing
passes for 81 yards of gain, and
Notre Dame relied entirely on
runs by Creighton Miller, Jim
Mello and Bob Kelly.
Mello ripped off the initial first
down to the Irish SO and on fourth
down bucked to the 48 to send the
yardsticks forward again. He rae
ed Is yards for another first doWr
on the Sailors SO and was giver
the ball when two yards were
needed to reach the 26. He made
four. He went four yards for an
other first down on the IA ane

ton OF More Night
Baseball

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-tR)-Base-
balls winter meetings, which Or
dinarily provide a busy market in
player material, open for weeks
run tomorrow, but about the only
ivory" in sight will! be an elk's
tooth dangling fron4 a delegates
watch chain.
The bottom has just about drop
ped out of the ivory market for
this years concalves, partly be-
cause any guy who has some on
hand is hanging on to it, and part
ly because the traders, as they
gathered today, hao q lot more i'm
portant things to think about just
now.
Chief of tnese, naturally, is what
kind of stew IS ON the fire for
1914 for both major and minor
league, as well as what's cooking
for the end of the war and the time
the diamond industry will get back
to business as usual-instead of
las best we can.
A committee of three will be
named to get things ready for that
day.
Most of the magnates still will
be looking for new faces and the
few minor deals that might be
made. but the boss.men now are
convinced that bird on the rost-
err is worth two i'll d trade, particu-
larly if the bird can hit within
shouting distance Oh 300, can throw
reasonable facsimile of curve
and can go after fly ball with
out fear of being decapitated.
The result is all hands are play
ing it close in the current meet
ings.
Scheduled are seprate sessions
for minor league Monday and Tues
day and the annual party of the
National Association (the minors)
on Wednesday, TO be followed by
the major loop get-togethers.
And there will be fancy fuss or
two to make 1t pretty warm for
November. The majors have to
settle few things like a boost in
the number of night ball games
(wanted by Washington and the
St. Louis Browns and Cardinals),
and raise in the player limit Ga
particular desire of the Yankees).
Then, too, there may be a lecture
from one K. NJ. Lands, remem-
Der, is a whole lot better than a
green hand at making with the
lecture.
The minors have enough hot
stuff on their agenda to make a
Mexican chile party sound like an
ice cream social. They're in for
real ''rassle'' over National AS
ISOLATION vote control. The Ameri-
can Association ana International
League Double-A loops, want the
vote, values changed from one per
league to ten for a double-A loop,
8 and an AL, and "a" etc.
down to / for Class D.
National Association President
w. G. Bramhan, who is up for re-
election, and several smaller
leagues MAINTAIN this is vote
grab" One report says the plan
has the Southern Association and
Texas League ready to holler to
have their rating raised from AL
to Double-A
And the Texas loop. which has
six clubs ready to resume opera
tons next season, is leading an in
vasion force of 16 leagues that sus-
pended in '43 and now are storm
ing for a return of voting privi-
leges in the National Association.
These Is, although they didn't
operate, continued to pay National

Successful
Short on
Real Friends

TNHlS is a kindly, friendly old
Il world: and it's easy 10 find
friends when YOU are down or
in trouble, and need them. 1t is
the successful men and women
who are long on admirers but
often short on real and sincere
friends, and are sometimes the
loneliest.
People don't seem TO think
that n man or woman who has
success and money and applause
could possibly need or want any
thing else - friendly affection
and comradeship, for instance.
And yet. there are many now
shining in the limelight of pub
