Crovoth, U. s. C. Coach Of Week
By JOE JAMES CUSTER United Press Staff COrreSpondentl

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. UP)-He could qualify as the bravest man in the country, for he is not only willing but anxious. to take on Army or Navy in the Rose Bowl, and if they're not available he'd settle for Ohio State.
 He is Newell (Jeff) Cravath, who qualities as the United Press ch-of-the-week, because of the 32-O walloying administered Cali fornia last Saturday by his thun- dering Trojans of Southern Cali fornia.
 Not that Cravath is counting Pasadena's roses before they bloom, elated though he is over the de- cisive readjustment of an earlier season tie with the Golden Bears that gave the Tropans the inside track for the New Years day classic.
 We're not in Pasadena yet" he cautioned today, "and Ucla has a dangerous offense and a fine field general and passer in Bob Water- field. But know my boys are ready Tor their best game of the season next Saturday, and if We play our best we'll be in.'
 "Jeff" to Players
 Although he is gruff- spoken, the bespectacled Cravath is extremely popular with his players, who call him Jeff" instead of the custom ary coach" He led them to a Rose Bowl championship last season. when they walloped Washington.
 As evidenced by his eagerness to trade downfield blocks with the Cadets, Middies or Buckeyes, Cra- vath proved last year .bat he is a man of his convictions by quickly agreeing to re-play the disputed College of Pacific tussle despite opposition from other USC officials.
 Born in Breckenridge, Colo, on Feb. 5, 1905, Cravath became a great center on championship teams at Santa Ana, Cal, high school and went on to captain the TrojanS and become recognized as perhaps uses greatest leader on the gr:diron.
 He spent two years as assistant coach to the late Howard Jones, then coached Denver University for three seasons, spent a year at Chaffey (Cal0 Junior college and returned to USC in 1883 as frosh coach, eventually becoming line coach. In 1941 his San Francisco U. team was the far vests top scoring machine, and he was re- called to use the following season when Jones died, as head coach.
 Defensive Genius
 While his teams are noted for split-second. swiftly-geared attacks off the CT" formation, Cravath is regarded by his far western col leagues as tops in rotating defenS- eS" based on 8 single formation, his most elaborate demonstration com- ing in the Bowl victory when he stopped Washington cold with 12 different defenseS.
 In the dressing room, his pre- game fight talks are more conver- Sational than inSpirational, with completely honest diagnosis and tendency to stress the peSsimiStic aspects. Generally, he allows per- formers to speak for themselves, and this season the Trojan victory column chambers for a bid to col legiate footballs post-Season claS- sic.

 New York, Nov. 25.-(UP)-Vot- ing begins today in the 'Turf and Sport Digest'S" annual poll of writers and handicappers in the United States and Canada to determine the horse of the year; also the top Gee-Gees in four other divisions. Ballotting ends Dec. l.
 After carefully reviewing per- formances of the outstanding race horses of 1944, we vote as follows:
 1-Horse of the year-Twilight Tear.
 2ABest among two-year-old colts and geldings-Pavot.
 3-Best among two-year-old fllies -Busher.
 NBest among three-year-olds of all classes-Twilight Tear.
 5-Best among four-year- odds and upward-Devil Diver.s
 We pick Calumet Farms Twilight Tear as horse of the year, in addi- tion to top three-year-old, because this amazing bay lilly showed speed, stamina and class by wining IA of IT starts, in which she finished out of the money only once-in the Maryland handicap when burdened with 130 pounds. The daughter of Bull Lea-Lady Lark earned a total of $167, ,555 during her belated but brilliant 1944 campaign. Round- ing into condition late, she did not run in the Kentucky Derby, Freak ness nor Belmont stakes; but she registered three victories over her stablemate Pensive, Derby and Preaknes winner.
 Great FilIy
 The Tears victories included the Pimlico Oaks. Acorn stakes, Amer ican Oaks, Skokie handicap and Classic stakes. In our book, she clinched horse-of -the-year laurels by defeating with ease the Green tree stables f1ve-year-old Devil Diver in the Pimlico Special. At the time. Devil Diver was rated the outstanding handicap horse.
 Unquestionably Twilight Te ar already has won a place in turf his- tory as one of the greatest fillies of all time.
 Walter M. Jefford,s Pavot stood out among the two-year-old colts and geldings with a perfect record of eight straight victories iii which the speedy brown colt won $179.O40 The son of Caseace-C CoQuelicot de- feats such prominent tWo-year-olds as Alexis. Esteem. The Dodge, Ple- biscite, War Jeep and Flood Town Had John Marsch,S Free For All opened his campaign earlier, he would have given Pavot competition for division honors, for he was un- beaten in five Starts in which he garnered $l0o.57s on midwestern tracks.
 E R. Bradley's Busher, chestnut daughter of War Admiral Baby League, tops the tWo-year-old fillIez by virtue Of five victories and one place in 1eT1n ztarf1. She earned

Classy PimIico Closing Today

Pimlico. Md, Nov. 25-(UP)-Two traditional $25,000 added renewals both drawing classy fields, were scheduled to ring down the curtain cn the successful combined Mary land race meeting at Pimlico today.
 Bolingbroke, Townsend B. Mar tins game though aging distance star, loomed as the early choice for the running of the Pimlico cup at two and half miles, while George D .Widener's entry of Plebescite and Sir Francis and Maine Chance Farms war jeep were expected to vie for favorite honors among field of nine two-year-olds in the Walden stakes at a mile and sixteenth.
 Bolingbroke, probably making his last start before being retired to the stud, was assigned top weight of 126 pounds and jockey Paul Keiper in band of 13 in the cup. The seven-year-old son of Equipoise included the Saratoga cup, the Manhattan handicap and the jockey club gold cup among his scores and seemed best fitted for the distance.
 Second Choice
 Mono Flag, New England distance champ and winner of the extermina- tor handicap at Pimlico 10 days ago, ranked as second choice, under 12O pounds and Bill Balzaretti, while Harford and the Steeplechaser Rouge Dragon were highly regard ed. Megogo; Pyracanth, pace-setter in the exterminator, and the off, and-on Stymie were others to watch.
 Astral, Misrule, Connachta, Lord Calvert, Relious and Dare Me com pleted the field in the cup, last run in 1880.
 Widener went after his second straight in the Walden, final ma jor test for juveniles of 1914, hav- ing scored with Platter last year. His Plebescite shared top weight honors of 119 pounds with War Jeep. Other top juveniles in the field were the Dige, Alexis and Sun Herod, Ted Atkinson up, with Petsam, ricks Raft and Lady's Reward sounding out the roster in the getaway day co-feature.
 Much attention was expected to be focused on Atkinson, who takes week layoff before the Florida season starts. He ic heavy favorite to reach his goal of 300 winners in the south.

 Portland, Ore, Nov. 25.-(UP)-A narrowed field passed the halfway mark of the $15,5OO Portland open golf tournament today with Mike Turnesa and Slammin' Sammy Snead slightly ahead of the pack.
 Turnesa of White Plains, N. Y, captured the lead yesterday with a two-day total of 142 while Snead, the first day leader, dropped back to IA.
 With any letup in the rainy weather, the tight field could still make the Sunday final a close pace for the first prize of $2,660 in war bonds.
 Two comparatively unknowns crowded ahead of the "big names" when Zell Eaton Los Angeles posted 145 and Harry Bassler of Culver City, Cal, 146.
 Byron Nelson of Toledo, the all- American champion, with 73-74 was tied at 147 with Denny Shute of Akron, Ohio, Willie Goggin of White Plains, N r., and Jack Gage of Santa Barbara. Grouped at 148 were George Fazio of Pine Valley. N. J., Harold West of Portland and Mark Fry of Oakland.
 Always a contender, PGA cham pion Bob Hamilton of Evansville. Ind, topped the 149 bracket, with Charles Congdon of Tacoma, Frey Wood of Vancouver, B. C., Ted Longworth of Portland and Les Kennedy of Pawtucket, R. |, beside him.
 "OnIy" 78 Left
 The male field was cut to 51 pro- fessionals and 27 amateurs today with familiar names dotting the. brackets behind the leaders. Jimmy Hines of Great Neck, L. |. and Bruce Coltart of Absecon, N. J.,' had 150's; Harold Jig" McSpaden, Kansas City, 151; Sam Byrd of De- troit, 152, Ralph Guldahl of Chula Vista, Cal, and Leonard Dodson of Kansas City, 153; George Scf1nei- ter of Salt Lake City, 153, and far back, Craig Wood of Mamaroneck, N. Y. 159.
 Betty Hicks proved herself the class of the women's field with 16z, chopping four strokes of her first days total Babe Freese, the Port land champion, cut of seven strokes to post I'll. Only two others were near the top, Betty Jean Rucker Of Spokane, 1T5, and Mary Mozel Wag- ner of Portland, TIT. Darkness halted women's play for the second night.
 Two ex-state champions were tie0 for the amateur lead. Harry Um- binetti of Seattle and Ed LoWery Oxhusetts, lately golfing out of San Francisco, each had 150.

Novy Minimizes Armys Lons-Goin Threat by Hanging Onto Football
By HARRLY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New York, Nov. 27.-Andy Gustaf- son brings up a pertinent point in connection with the football Battle of the Century in Baltimore, Dec. 2.
 "Army has demonstrated beyond 8 reasonable doubt that it can score, all right" says line coach Custaf- son, 'but how many opportunities will it. have against 8 Navy team that hangs onto the ball all day?" The old Pittsburgh fullback recalls the 1941 gamef possession for 131s minutes of the final period.
 Navy burns up time and the other side by moving four, six and eight yards at a crack, piles up first downs. The Middies go the : hard way.
 Army cannot afford to huff op- portunities for the long-gainers that have made the athletes from the Huson Highlands a point-a- minute outfit. The Cadets will have none too many.
 Through the herculearl efforts of Babe Dimancheff, Purdue gained 177 yards on terra f1rma, the bulk of it through Navy's, right side, but that doesn't can one flank of the Annapolis forward wall has col- lapsed.
 The Boilermaker total exceeded the combined ground mileage of the Future Admirals' seven previous opponents, four of whom wound up with minus figure.
 WHITMIRE THE WHALE
 Navy's line, will be the altitude of Pike's Peak higher for Army than it was for Cecil Isbells boys.
 If Army elects to leave Navy's left side strictly alone it's fleet and hard-hitting blockers and back will I find no welcoming committee on the flank. Capt. Ben Chase, Gail Gillian and Johnny Martin and their replacements and backer-ups are proven.
 The principal reason rivals treat Navy's left side with such whole some respect is the presence at tackle there of 5-foot-11. 215-pound Don Whitmire, the All-America from Alabama in his second year at Crabtown. Whitmire is pillbox on defense and his cros-blocking on offense massacres guards. It was this seasoned young man from Decatur, Ala, who put Notre Dame o nthe bum.
 Every time I look at picture see Whitmire," asserts Herman Hickman, the Army line coach who is built along the same general lines and was all tackle himself at Ten nessee. Lt.-Col Earl Blaik has frightful dreams centering around Whitmire.
 You can speak of little Hal Ham, berg all you please, but it is the 'Bama teammates, Whitmire and Bob Jenkins, that Army fears most. "Jenkins is the most punishing back in the country" means Coach Red Blaik.
 Navy also has among others a blocking back named Dick Duden.
 Between would-be tackler and Dick Duden is no place to be caught
