BY HAL WOOD

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81. CUP)
Nevada. big state with big ideas
anc little taxes, is always laying
claim to new wonders-and their
sports writers are no exception to
the rule.
Ty Cobb, sports etitor of the
Nevada Journal, Reno, writes to
put in a claim for University of
Nevada as the "flyingest" and mos.
''air-minded" school in the nation
Recently the Wolfpack basks .oall
team flew to Las Vegas, Nevada,
for a war bond rally cage game. Las.
month the Nevada football team
flew 2700 miles to Edmonton, Alta,
for a game with The Alaskan Clip
pers.
But to top off their claims, Cobb
says the Nevada school was the
first to travel any distance to 4 grio
game when the squad took several
/ planes to Los Angeles to meet use
about Is years ago. And three sea-
sons back the Wolves travelled via
air to play New Mexico and Arizona
universities.
Cobb also lists these claims:
The high school football team
With the best record in the nation
Las Vegas high, which wen eight
games, scored 217 points to moth
ing for the opposition from three
states.
The "oddest" football team in the
country: Stewart Indian school,
where a rooter recently came in
from the sioelines to make a per-
feet block on Would-be tackler
and the school that played a full
quarter of football against an op-
ponent before it was discovered that
there were y men in the Indian
lineup.
One of the saddest tales of mice
or men in the sports world these
days is to watch Ralph Guldahl,
l938-1939 national open champion
on the golf course.
It's not that Guldahl plays SO
badly, Che still shoots around par)
out because of the fact that it
was just four or five years ago that
the man was Well-nigh unbeatable,
while today he can't win for losing.
After a layoff from the golfing
wars to handle a pro JOB at San
Diego for Rohr Aircraft, Ralph is
finding che return road Uttered with
obstacles.
But by his unfailing attempts to
get back on his game, oy his refusal
to crack and by his goctl nature
while being soundly trounced by
fellows he could beat with his eyes
shut a few years ago, Guldahl has
won the respect Of every one in the
pro golfing caravan.
AS a result, every professional on
the circuit is pulling for the
champ" to make a comeback tha5
will once again install him on the
golfing pedestal.

SEEK JOINT TRIAL
 FOR CIVIL SUITS
$ll5,OOO Sought in Two Cases Arising From
 Cheshire Road Tragedy

Joint trial of two civil suits based on the Cheshire road bus-truck col- lision of last Sept. B was requested by counsel in one of the cases today but court action was held up pend- ing further developments on the cases.
 The request was made in superior court by Attorney Michael BlanS- field, counsel for Doris Garrigus, l6- year-old Crosby High school stu- dent who seeks $l00. 900, after At torney William B. Fitzgerald asked for assignment of the Deschesnes case for June l3.
 The later suit is based on fatal injuries sustained by Louis Des- chesnes, the bus driver, and is brought by his widow, Cecile Deschesnes. who seeks $l5,000.
 Attorney Blansfield pointed out that a decision is still awaited from Judge John A. Cornell on a motion involving pleadings in his case, but that if disposition of the motion should be made before June lS he would like to have the case tried jointly with the other one. Doubt was expressed by the other lawyer what the two cases could be tried together since there was not com- plete identity of the defendants in in the cases.
 Judge Edward J. Quinlan stated he would wait and see what the sit- uation is as June l3 approaches. The Deschesnes case is the second on the list for June B, and it was indicat- ed it may not be reached if the other case does go to trial.
 One of the lawyers commented that about IT claims on the accident may have to be litigated. Four acc tions are already listed on the local superior court docket and one in New Haven, with total damages sought amounting to $325y 900.
 Defendants in the DeschesneS case are the Elm City Filling Station of New Haven, and the Colonial Bea- con Oil Company of Massachusetts. The Garrigus complaint also lists the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and the Connecticut Rail way and Lighting Company of Wa terbury.
