WIDDOES, OHIO
 STATE, COACH OF THE WEEK
BY JOE JAMES CUSTER Limited Pres Staff Corresnonden

Il 04 WYE 0EAANAG0 NOO4GMk
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 20-(UP) = He started out by violating a funda: mental tenet of football coaching ito be pessimistic at all times" Al his first press conference he even dared to suggest that his llustline young team might win all its games.
 Today, at the finish of his first season as football coach, he quail flies as prophet with honor. He is nervous Carroll Widdoes of Ohio State, the United Press coach of the week.
 His all-civilian Buckeye young sters at the moment are unbeaten united and unhappy because they were unable to accept a Rose Bowl bid when the Big Ten conference turned thumbs down.
 Turning in nine straight victories and winning the Big Ten title was easy, he said, because of the per- feet teamwork between members of the coaching staff and the team, built around nucleus of veterans and flock of freshmen.
 We don't have any special tech- nique to keep the boys keyed up for the big oneS," Widdoes said. We just keep playing football. We don't kid the boys about it; we tell them what they are up against and that it is up to them"
 How well that pattern worked is best revealed in the teams string of victories over Missouri, Iowa, Wis., consin, Great Lakes, Minnesota, In- diana, Pittsburgh, Illinois and Mi- chigan.
 Born in the Philippines, of mis- sionary parents who are not prison CTS of the Japanese, "Wid" came to the U. s. when he was 13 to stay at home that the United Brethren church maintains for children of its missionaries. At little Otter bein College in Westerville, O., he was on the football, basketball, baseball and track teams, then went to Massillon Washington junior high as coach after his graduation in 1926.
 When Paul Brown became head coach at Massillon senior high, WiddoeS moved up as his assistant and the pair went to Ohio State in 1941. There were few skeptics when Brown, entering the Navy last year, selected "Wid" to carry on but the pinch-coach continued to use the same methods, 8 diversity of formations ranging from the old Notre Dame box to the modern ''T'' and the theory that good team in condition always will defeat an equally good squad that is out of condition-and his record speaks for itself.
 Off the field, Widdoes is MT. average citizen. He's buying his own home in good residential neighborhood in Columbus, O., likes an open fire, and enjoys picking out tunes on an old upright piano.
 The easy yet effective disciplin- ary methods he uses with the squad are carry-over from his relation ships with his own three sons, Dick 15; Jim, 12; and Tommy, 5. Sum- days always finds him in church where he formerly taught a Sunday school class before the rpeSs of his coaching duties became too heavy.
 His future? That will await Paul Browns return to Ohio State. Then "Wid" will see.

AVote For P. B.
By JOHN A. cLUNEY

Among the dozen or more names that I have heard and read in con- nection with an able successor to Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, a truly great American of the Abe Lincoln pattern: ther, is none that appeals to me more than that of the Honorable Patrick B. O'Sullivan of the Connecticut Superior Court Baseball has been one of P. B.'s life interests, not from a professional point of view. though his father, the late Dr. O'Sullivan was one of the financial packers of the Derby team i1 the old Connecticut league. Among the big-league club owners, Judge O'Sullivan may not "get to first base" though he did make a tremendous hit at the annual Base bal Writers dinner in New York for the past two years. With his judicial experience, keen analytical mind, and love of baseball as real Amer ican game, Patrick B. O'Sullivan would come pretty close to filling the shoes of the great man whom he admired, but is no longer with us.

|Novy's Jenkins
 No Sure Starter Against Army

Annapolis, Md, November 29. = (UP) - A good portions of Navy;s hopes for victory over Army in the football game of the year at Balti- more Saturday today rested on the big toe ftheir ace ball carrier, Bob Jenkins.
 Jenkins, a pile-driving runner who has had a bad leg for two weeks, developed a toe infection fol- lowing yesterdays scrimmage and was sent to sick quarters for treat ment. Navy doctors said if the toe responds to treatment, Jenkins, the Middies best back, should be ready to start Saturday.. If he is unable to play, Coach Cmdr. Oscar (Swede) Hagberg said he would start little Hal Hambergn, triple threat back.
 In yesterdays workout Hagberg shifted Jim Darlington into the left guard position and it was expected that he would start there on Satur- day. Darlington adds weight and speed to the running guard post and improves what already is regarded as the best collegiate line in the nation this year.
 The Sailors scrimmaged hard against the B" team yesterday, drilling on defense against Army's powerful '"T' formation. It probably was their last hard workout of the year, Hagberg said, emphasizing that his charges were razor sharp" and that he wanted to keep 'em that way"
 BLAIK TELLS FEM
 West Point, N. Y., Nov. 29 - (U. P0 = Army's mighty unbeaten foot ball team today settled down to light work and polishing up drills for the rest of the week in preparation for its big test Saturday in the annual Army Navy game at Baltimore.
 Encouraged by the return of Full back Bobby Dobbs, who has had an injured leg for more than a month, to top shape, Head Coach Lieuten- ant Colonel Earl Blaik, shifted Dobbs to the backf1eld composed of Doug Kenna, Dale Hall and Max Minor. The move enabled him to re- turn Dean Granddaughter at half back to the backf1eld of Tom Lom- bardo, Glenn Davis and Felix (Doc) Blanchard. There is little to choose between the two groups and Blaik probably will alternate them fre- quently during the game.
 The West Point coach cautioned his team against believing that they were faster than Navy.
 Make no mistake about Navy's speed" he said. They have it, more of 1t than we have. Sure we've got some fast boys, but matching backfield against backfleld Navy is faster"

est football conference of them all the Big Ten. He aptly demon strated his all-star qualities in lead- ing the Buckeyes to their 18 to IA triumph over Michigan last week. It was his fourth year on the Buckeye campus but he was not eligible last season because he was in specialized army training for dentistry. He generally was consid- cred the leading offensive back of the year.
 Halfback = Robert T. Jenkins, navy. A powerhouse back with speed, Jenkins is the running star of Navy's attack. He has the drive of fullback and specia1izeS in rip ping enemy lines and Slicing around ends-when he is not running with the ball he Is acting as a decoy. He also leaves nothing to be desired on defense, being particularly adept at covering eligible pass receivers and bringing down opposing backs with hard, sure tackles once they break into Navy's secondary-which is seldom.
 Halfback- Glen w. Davis, Army. The nations leading Scorer-114 points on 19 touchdowns in the eight games Army has played thus far-Davis is the ace of Army'S running attack. A 10-flat sprinter, Davis is 8 break-away runner who once through the line is hard to stop with his twisting, shifty tac- tics. This is his second year as a plebe. He was one of Army's stars last year but fumbled mathematics later and left West Point only to return this fall.
 An-Time A & A
 Fullback-Felix (Doc) Blanchard, Army. Considered the most brllis- ing fullback since Jarrin' John Kimbrough, Blanchard Is probably the outstanding college blocker of the season. Coaches who saw him in the Notre Dame game said his blocking was the hardest they ever had seen. He hits a line hard and effectively and on the few times this year that heavy-scoring Army has needed few yards, Blanchard always was the man -Of the moment. His work as a plebe has been SO outstanding that many believe he may develop into the greatest col isge fllihack Of al time.

Horse Sense

Whats in a name? That ques- tion may frequently be asked in reference to race horses but rarely it is answered as neatly as by two English horses some years back. A heavily backed horse named Wrongun fell at the first jump while in a later race that after noon the same stable started a horse named Rightun which romp- ed home an easy winner at 100 to .6.

With 271 winners to his credit
 Gas this was written) Ted Atkin- son had the not impossible but highly improbable task of riding 30 winners in 31 days to pass his goal of 300 winners for the year. Since 1895 only three race-riders have topped the 3O0-mark during a season. First to do so was Wal ter Miller successful with 388 in 1906 and with 334 the following year. Vincent Powers led the list in 1908 with 324 winners. Last to break 300 was Jack WeStrope who in 1883 scored with 301 mounts.
 J65oe H. Palmer, field secretary of the American Trainers association, writing in the Blood Horse observed that at a recent race at Pimlico the 11-year-old Conquer forced the early pace and took the lead at one point only to be passed in the stretch by the 12-year-old Misrule which fought it out gamely but was betaen by the 9-year-old Cash C Boy which got through betweer horses. What this proves,"s com. mented Palmer, lis not clear, un. less 1t is that youth will be served.
 Charles s. Towards Seabiscuit came back from a season at stud to win the Santa Anita Handicap ($100,000 added) and become briefly, (until Whirlaway came along) the leading equine money earner. Whether the revival of the Sant Anita Handicap will call any of the recently retired name horses back from the farm re- mainSt be seen. It is interest ing to note that Greentree Stables Devil Diver, which was advertised for the stud season of 1945, will, instead be kept in training for another year. Among the "big" horses of the past season or two now advertised for stud are: Oc- cupation, Princequillo, Alsab, Count Fleet, Blue Swords, Pen. Sive and Shut Out.

Adequate Nitrogen Fertilizer
Assured Farmers This Year

use among farmers, DR.. Parker said
recent experimental work has re-
suited in largely eliminating these
characteristics.
Fire Hazards Told.
DR.. Parker explained that am
monium nitrate is formed in syn
thetic nitrogen plants through the
combination of nitric acid and am
monia and contains both nitrate
nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen.
While the nitrate nitrogen moves
with the soil and may be leached
by heavy rains, he said, the am
monia nitrogen in the compound is
as resistant to teaching as am
monium sulfate. The ammonium
nitrate is slightly acid forming in
its action on soils, he said, but pro-
duces only one-third as much
acidity as an equivalent amount of
ammonium sulfate or phosphate.
Warning that ammonium nitrate
is an explosive if improperly ham
died, DR.. Parker said, however, that
the explosive danger is eliminated if
the nitrate is handled like any
other fertilizer. The paper fertil-
izer bags should be burned when
emptied, as they create a fire
hazard, he said, and burlap or cloth
bags should be thoroughly washed
before storing.
Recommendations for use of am
monium nitrate with various crops
should be obtained from county
agents or extension agronomists.
