here for The annual Blue-Gray
game.
"There'll DE plenty of good col
lege ball next year." forecast
Waldorf ''It won't be of pre-war
caliber but it'll be good and it'll
be entertaining"
Waldorf said coaches generally
received a great boost from naval
students in 1913 but depended less
on them last season. Next year,
he added they'll have to get
along without the navy boys"
McMillin contended that 1.-The
tougher the war gets, the more
football we ught to play"
these I7-year-olds can play
plenty good ball." he asserted.
And it helps them, too. The poise
and courage they learn on the
football field means lot"
The sport will live las long as
we have red-blooded people in
the United S1ates,' the Indiana
coach declared. Its more typical
of the American spirit than any
other sport.
Snavely, who has signed a CON-
tract to coach next year at North
Carolina University, predicted
football fans IN l945 would see
less and less experience on the
playing field, but expressed conf
dence the game would not suffer
from having to depend on young
sters.
Butts, who mas ha6 no naval
students at Georgia, said it would
be tougher neAt year. I don't see
how it can .,e easier" He voiced
belief, however, that the colleges
which suspended football in 1912
and 1943 could have kept on play
ing.
Simons praised the 17-year-olds
for doing a great job" and said
he would have 10 gamble with
them in 1915.

DRY FORECAST
INSPIRES TECH

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 80 Up A
forecast of good weather for the
Orange Bowl football game heart
ened Georgia Tech supporters to-
DAY and put Tulsa to work again
polishing a new pass defense.
Tech needs a dry ball for a
high powered aerial attack, and if
the Georgians' chunkers and re-
ceivers aren't connecting, then
Tulsa has the chance of lifetime
to avenge a 20 to 10 defeat in the
Sugar Bowl last New Years day.
It never has rained on an Orange
Bowl game, and the Miami weather
bureau reported today that the out
look for Monday again is for partly
cloudy, mild weather.
Both squads were in good ply
steal condition for a meeting that
stacks up in advance as a battle
of touchdowns.
Techs dependence Oh passing
was emphasized by the report that
Dinky Bowen, the Engineers chief
running threat, won't be able to
travel at more than three-quarter
speed and is counted upon chiefly
for defensive assignments.
But Frank Broyles and George
Matthews, the Engineer chunkers,
have been hitting the bulls-eye in
their on-the-scene workouts here.
Techs only two defeats during
the regular season, to Duke and
Notre Dame, came on days when
the passing attack wasn't clicking.
Tulsa Coach Henry Frnka dis
closed this week that he has de-
veloped a new, secret defense de-
signed to spike Techs big weapon.

GARDEN CROSSES
$l,3%,467 IN IA
By FRITZ HOWELL

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-lR-The
boxing boys raised plenty of cab
bage' in their Madison Square
Garden this year, along with the
usual crop of cauliflower.
.Uncle Mike" Jacobs, Doth Gen.
tury Sporting Club promoter now
spending the holidays in Florida,
needn't worry about expenses for
that trip, check of the Garden
gate showed today.
The big arena at 49th street and
Eighth avenue, just off Broadway,
was the scene Of % fight shows
this year, against % during 1943.
A total of 1856, 800 fans filed through
the turnstlles, All average of 1880
and they laid It on the line to
the tune of $1,396, 467-or $40, 874
per show.
In l943 the % attractions drew
1922, 512 spectators who paid $780,
22o, for an average of IA, $50 fans
ard a gate of s51,646. Thus the
rise in the total gate and attend
ance was due to the Elk extra
shows.
On top Of the regular pay at
the gate suggests, Uncle Mike
put on a war bond show which
spilled S35, 864,900 into the war ef-
fort as 1922 turned out for a
non-title hereunder Aug. 4 be-
tween Beau Jack, the former Au-
gust Ca, bootblack, and Bob
Montgomery, the holder Of New
York's version Of the lightweight
laurels.
The two gladiators, both army
privates, gave their services for
free, along with everyone else con-
nected with the show.
Beau Jack, Of course, was the
Gardens No. l attraction. The
ever-swinging brown boy appeared
in six bouts which attracted 160,-
433 fans for an average of 1873.
For the five bouts ahead of the
war bond show, the Beau drew
$460,610, or a third Of the Gar
denis take for the entire year as
he averaged $92, 121.
During March alone, the Beau
appeared in three fights, and the
gates Of $111,954 against Montgom-
cry, $132,823 against AL Davis, and
g., 802 against Juan Zurita were
the best of the year despite the
fact six heavyweight scraps were
held. The gate for the Davis-Jack
fight was the best ever drawn in
doors by little fellows.
Bob Montgomery came up with
the years No. ! Garden come
back. On Feb. 10 Montgomery,
getting ready for a title fight
against Beau Jack, was knocked
out in 1903 Of the first round by
al Davis-quickest knockout in
Garden history. On March II, less
than a month later, Montgomery
came back to take the lightweight
title from Beau Jack on split
decision.
OF the % main events, six were
decided by knockouts, six by split
decisions, and the others by unan.
irnous verdicts.

ODT Prohibits Shipment Of

Earlier, in a statement issued
from the White House just week
after his request that horse and
dog racing be discontinued as a
measure to aid in the war effort,
Byrnes said he regretted that
1.-The changing requirements Of
war, which are now most press
ing', did not permit him to give
track operators more advance no

Byrnes' refusal came few
hours hours after he received a
request from Chairman John Let

leans that the deadline be extend
ed to January 81. In order to
avoid distress and hardship" to
the persons involved in the indus
try. 1t previously had been sug-
gested that racing be permitted
to continue three days a week.
In asking last Saturday that ali
animal racing be discontinued by
January 3, Byrnes said the man
power and materials used by
tracks were needed by war plants
Letellier in his telegram tt
Byrnes said 5000 persons at fail
grounds alone were affected by
Byrnes' action and suggested tina
by permitting the track to con
