FIu-Hit Bama al Last
Scrimmages on Eve
OF Rose Bowl Trip

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Dec. % tP.-
Alabamas Rose Bowl squad got a
final, unexpected scrimmage today
as the coaching staff sought to
make up what Head Mentor Frank
Thomas termed "the worst practice
we've ever had for a Bowl game"
The Alabama coach was referring
to the weather and influenza which
hit his team this week, however, and
not the attitude or work of his team.
The original practice schedule
called for an off day, but Thomas
called the scrimmage session in an
effort to get in "at least one good
workout before we leave tomorrow. q"
Rain, sleet and snow kept the
squad indoors most of last week and
for the first three days of this, and
nine of the "a players making the
trip to California came down with
flu and have had no scrimmage
since the December l game against
Mississippi State.
The ninth flu victim, still in bed,
Is James Bush, second guard. 9th
ers, most of whom have rejoined the
squad for light workouts, are all
America center Vaughn Mancha,
right tackle Lee Flowers, right
halfbacks Lowell Tew, Corky Cor
bitt and James Robertson, ends
Richard Gibson and James Grant

Missouri at Cotton Bowl Site
Remains in Dark About Texas

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Dec. 22-Missouri Uni
versity's Tigers rolled into town to-
day to get in weeks practice at
the site of their Cotton Bowl game
with the University of Texas.
And Athletic Director Don Faurot
answered sports writer's who asked
him if he thought the Tigers would
win the game with: That's what
we came down here for"
Coach Chauncey M. Simpson,
however, was noncommittal over his
teams chances. explaining that Mis-
souri, had not secuted Texas and
knew little about the Longhorns.
The Texas squad will not arrive
in Dallas until December 80. Coach
D. x. Bible announced that the boys
were dismissed today to go home
for the Christmas holidays and that
they would assemble again at Austin
next Wednesday.
Missouri had a chance to scout
Texas because the Tigers ended the
season before the Longhorns, but,
Faurot said, didn't take advantage
of 1t. I'VE didn't think 1t fair to
scout them and Texas not have a
chance to scout U.S." he declared.

Schocht Gives els in japan Baseball Lowdown

AL put on his traditional act
with the battered high hat and
frock coat before 10000 GIs in
Manila and 10000 at Osaka.
Those were the only two baseball
games he worked. He worked one
football game at Osaka, and the
rest of his shows were in audito-
RUINS and mess halls or any other
place where lot of fellows could
be gathered under one roof.
III tell you something that
happened to me-" he said. Part
of my act is to call for a detail,
and when they come up on the
stage, start talking, and / keep
interrupting myself to have them
move the piano from here to
there to there. Each time they
move it, I dismiss one guy, until
the smallest guy is left.
so this time I finally tell the
smallest guy to move the piano
over there, and that is supposed
to get the laugh, but he says he
isn't going to move it because he
wants to play it. I say to myself,
oh, a wise guy! and so I tell
him all right and he should play
the Rhapsody in Blue He sits
down to play, and I sit down to
listen to this. and then he beck
ons me to come over, and then
he says to me, loud enough for
everybody to hear, Hey, Bud

that brings down the house"

me and then he had to go out
and sell Borowy to get his dough
back"
One of the most interesting
characters Al met was a little
Jap, who wears an old Brooklyn
baseball cap that Lefty O'Doul
gave him when he was herding
American baseball stars through
Japan. He writes the baseball
news for one of the Tokyo papers
and he wanted to know what
Babe Ruth is doing these days
and about the illness that took
Lou Gehrig's life.
In the ball park in Tokyo"
AL said, they have put up this
sign again that says that this
is the place where Babe Ruth hit
a home run. This little guy wears
this baseball cap all the time and
he tells me that baseball in
Japan is pretty sad, because
there is nobody who can hit
the ball out of the infield. The
trouble is that the baseballs are
made of such inferior material
that they won't go over the Sec
ond baseman's head"

124 shows for GIs in the Philip
pines and in Japan. This is the
third tour overseas that AL has
made for the, USO. and he says
the two things that the service
men want to know about baseball
now are his thoughts on the
Negro ballplayer issue, and the
story behind the deal by which
Hank Borowy was sold by the
Yankees to the Chicago Cubs.
That Negro thing" he said,
is tough one. I'll show you
how I got out of it"
The way he got out of 1t was
by telling them about the diff
culties against which the Negro
ballplayer will be working. He
told them about the hotel stu
alton, the possible attitude of
Southern players and the prob
able protestations of Southern
teams in the minor leagues
through which Negro ballplayers
must be brought to the majors.
"On the Borowy DEAL" he said,
Il told them how Larry McPhail
asked me if I would work the
opening game of the training
season at Atlantic City. He said
he'd give me $3.50. and I worked
the game and then came right
back to New York. So a few
days later Larry comes into my
restaurant and I ask him for the
$3.50 and he starts telling me
what a wonderful time I must
have had at Atlantic City.
