NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Well. that
year 1943 that everybody has been
talking about arrived an hour
ahead of schedule-wartime, you
know-and if we could show as
much speed in coming up with
the answers to all the questions
about what will happen this year,
It would save a lot of trouble.
Speaking for sports, our guess is
that "spectacles" are on their way
out. but that competition will
continue on a broad basis. mainly
because the Army and Navy seem
to want to get the boys In shape
for service.
The folks who followed pro
football last fall concluded that
1t was the last season for the
duration; the same impression
goes with the current hockey sea-
son and we figure major league
baseball probably will stagger
through 1913 and then fade out.
The schools and colleges seem to
be coming around to the idea that
their Job is to train boys for the
armed forces and once they learn
they can't run another big-time

Three Cool Drives
In Defect by 80

PASADENA, Calf, Jan. a.
Georgias football empire remained
intact today, but for brief moments
Of three flashing periods yesterday
1t tottered in the concrete stadium
here known as the Rose Bowl.
The Bulldogs beat the University
Of California Bruins. 8 to 0. before
$4,000 fans, but the champions from
the Old South had to accomplish
the feat the hard way.
AS measured on the statistical
chart, the Bulldog easily mastered
the Bruin. Such figures as 213 yards
to 81 In net yards from scrimmage
made the U. C. L. A. effort look
pretty feeble. The "a first downs
Georgia rolled up to 5 for the OPP
position emphasized the difference
between the champions of the
Southeastern and the Pacific Con-
ference.
Stave OFF Three Touchdowns.
But for three periods, the short
end Bruins held the Bulldogs at bay.
STAYED off three touchdown drives
and stopped the two Georgia back
field terrors, all-America Frankie
Sinkwich and his understudy and
the game star, Charley Trippi.
For their part. the Bruins dipped
deep into Georgia ground twice in
the first period. They reached the
16 and 10 yard lines, but tho-e efforts
completed their strongest attacks.
From then on they were strictly
on the defensive. They stopped
Flat-Foot Frankie on the 1-yard line
in the third period, then yielded an
automatic safety and a touchdown
in the final quarter.
The score that broke the deadlock
came on the first play of the last
period. Bob Waterfleld, U. c. l.. A.
quarterback, dropped back to punt
from his end zone Two Georgians
were In there to stop the kick. The
ball bounded out Of bounds and the
Bulldogs were on their way to VIC
tory.
Sinkwich Delivers at Last.
Georgia's only touchdown followed
soon after. The scoring play tailed
OH great pass lnterceptlon by
Clyde Ehrhardt. Georgia center. He
snagged swift one tossed by Water
field and was downed on the
Bruins Is.
From there on the Georgians
played like the champions they
really are.
Line plunges by Trippi and his
mates brought the ball to within
less than a yard of scoring turf.
Sinkwich, who had hobbled in and
out OF the game on two sprained
ankles dozen or more times. came
back. This time he did it. He
powered straight through for the
touchdown that permitted him to
bow out of college football in a
blaze of glory.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2.-Their

summary, but it was the smashing
play OF a couple of powerful sopho-

Dobbs Frequently stymied.
Huffman get fine cooperation
from Crawford in the Sugar Bowl,

Tulsa's Glenn Dobbs for numerous
losses.
For one and a half quarters the
Hurricanes gave Passer Dobbs fine
support and the Tulsa aerial attack
clicked for a touchdown that put
Tennessee behind OF midway OF the
second period After Huffman and
Crawford started their deadly rush
ing. however the Hurricanes
couldn't get set for another scoring
drive.
Crawford stole the show from
Huffman in the third quarter to
break through and block Dobbs
punt for safety that put Tennessee
ahead 8 to s, after Substitute Full
back Bernard Gold had scored a
touchdown in the second.
The ar-capacity crowd OF TO-
900 fans got their biggest thrills In
the brilliant play of Dobbs and of
Bobby Offers of Tennessee.
Six Passes in Row Click.
Dobbs completed six successive
passes in Tulsa's scoring drive, and
then whipped the six-pointer to
Wingback Cal Purdin. The drive
carried 81 yards. Dobbs also punted
brilliantly, one of his kicks travel
ing 70 yards.
Offers didn't make a point for
Tennessee, but his off tackle slashes
and fine punting were the most eff
fective instruments in the Vols Of
Tense. His punt returns were little
short of sensational, winding UP with
a 15-yard average In this depart
ment.
Tennessee's power was the final
answer. The Vols gained 20S yards
rushing while Tulsa wound up with
loss of 80 yards.

Team Wins, II to II
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. Look
at the statistics, brother, before
you hail the East's 1912 victory
over the West as indisputable evil
dence that Eastern football is
superior.
The East All-Stars won the New
Year Day Shrine charity game all
right, but by the closest of mar
gins in a bangup battle that was
a fight every bit Of the way. ANY,
thing could have happened.
Point After" Is Margin.
A near-capacity crowd of $4,000
in Kezar Stadium saw a dazzling
exhibition of ground trickery and
brilliant passing. and it was just
a matter of place-kicking a point
after touchdown that brought the
East its first win over the West
in five years.
So evenly matched were the teams,
the cream Of football talent hand
picked from u colleges, that both
took to the air lanes early when
their ground offensives found little
success, and yardage was piled up
in spectacular fashion. This was
one Of the greatest games in the
10 years OF East-West rivalry.
The Westerners had this compen-
sation for the narrow defeat: They
made Is first downs to six for the
East; 1854 yards on the ground
against the East's 1856. and 1877 yards
from forward passes against 103 for
the East.
Rival Passers Brilliant.
Two crackerjack opposing passers
turned in handsome jobs. They
were Paul Governah of Columbia.
who lived up to advance notices as
perhaps the greatest passer since
Sid Luckman, and the Vests Bob
Kennedy of Washington State.
Governali tossed one touchdown
pass and one of his sharp laterals
set the stage for another, Ken
nedy, demon of the air lanes all
afternoon, tailed himself on a
lateral and fired to End Nick Suso-
ell, his w. S. C. teammate, for the
second touchdown.

enters the infantry training
school. His teammates hurried,
too. They hustled over to Holly
wood for a night spot and a floor
show.
Nothing happened as 1t was
supposed to happen, except that
Georgia won. Instead Of winning
through the air, the Dixie eleven
ripped the U. G. l.. A. line for
2l2 yards, made only 161 yards
overhead.
The one thing U. c. L. A. was
sure Of was that 1t had a superior
line-and Georgia's proved better.
When your line excels and you
have boys such as Sinkwich and
Trippi, how can you lose? 4 p
Trippi gained more ground
than the entire q. G, L. A. team.
