Play OF Newcomers

NEW YORK, Nov. r. (P) -
Frank Murray, Coach Of the I'm
defeated University of Virginia
football team, today gave credit
to four newcomers in his back
field for outstanding performances
in last Saturdays victory over
Richmond.
Speaking at the weekly lunch
con of the New York Football
Writer'S association, Murray point
ed out that Roger Roth, Bill Stark
and Virgil Perry, all Navy trans
fers from Emory and Henry, and
Jim Wade from Ohio Wesleyan
had poined the Virginia squad only
last Monday. In one week of prac-
tice they learned their 'T'' form
alton assignments SO well that
they accounted for three touch
downs and over one-third of Vir-
ginia's yardage.
This convinced me- said Muir
ray, THAT you can teach the ''T''
formation in much less time than
many coaches have claimed"

Beat Penn on brilliant catch
of a forward pass in the last Is
seconds;
Saved the 6-6 struggle with Notre
Dame by making timely tackle
on the one-foot line in the dying
seconds;
Set a match to Nays long-dor-
mant attack as it came to life in
Saturdays 1877 victory over a good
Michigan eleven.
Commander Oscar Hagberg,
Navy's head coach, today gave
Minisi full credit for being an ex-
ceptional pinch player" and a
naturally heady competitor
Hagberg was asked specifically
by a reporter if Minisi's shoulder
high tackle of Notre Danes Phil
Colella was by accident or design.
'Minisi naturally tackles high"
Hagberg said, but I'm sure that
he was conscious of the nearness
of the goal line and purposely
wrestled Colella out of bounds"
He might have added that not
many college players would have
had the forethought and skill to
handle that situation as Minisi
did.
Minisi's winning catch against
Penn on the dead run deep into
a corner of the end zone also was
far removed from the ordinary.

Bulldogs of Fayetteville. The Bull
dogs raven't won a conference
game this season, losing TWO and
tieing 3. The Wildcats have won
one and lost 3.
There may be a post-season GRID
game for Wilmington and there
may not be, so the Bulldog till
might be your last chance to see
the local gridders in action.
Last week Fayetteville took the
count as a first place Raleigh team
romped to a 80 to IA victory. The
other league game saw Rocky
Mount edge Wilson IA to 6.
Besides the Wildcat-Bulldog en-
counter other league action will
see Rocky Mount meet Raleigh.
In a montague encounter the Will
son Cyclones will play Staunton
Military.
Our football selections last week
took quite beating from Wash

Temple and Clemson. The five
turned the tables on us and came
through with victories. Our aver
age for the week was little over
800, getting % right, five wrong

By the way if you pick the foot

not drop a carbon in the mail to

Duke clash and ran States Wolf

preparations for their final game

hard workouts for the Wolfpack
fer tomorrow and Wednesday. the
only two days left for practice be-
fore the Pack leaves for Miami

All of States regulars will be

Today's mail brought letter
from Starkey McCulloch, Jr., self
appointed press-agent for a Will
mington boxer, Bill Wilson. Both
men are serving in the Philippine
Islands, and We'll let Starkey tell
MS own little piece.
81 am with the 365th Engineers,
stationed in the town of Tacloban
In the Philippines. 1 went to a
fight last Thursday night which was
given by the different outfits of
the island. Being former anna
teur boxer, 1 made my way to the
dressing room just before the fight
to do little of the old familiar
"when 1 was a fighter" CAB. I
spotted big sailor who was hav-
Ing his hands wrapped. At first 1
wasn't sure, but with a little more
neck stretching, 1 realized this big
fellow to be Wilson.
On this particular fight card,
Bill was fighting the wind up. 1
Immediately got permission to as
sist him by being his second. Bill,
unfortunately, lost this fight by a
very close decision. Had the fight
lasted over the three round limit,
I am sure Wilson would have won.
He is just short of his best condi-
ton since he has not had a sparring
partner. While 1 am waiting to re-
turn to the states, my light duties
will allow me to train with Wilson
in order to get him in real shape
for his next fight.
81 was invited to have dinner
at Wilson's outfit last Sunday when
WI began training. Bill weighs I'll
and 1 weigh 205. You can imagine
what ruffle We make under the
palms.
81 am one of Wilson's many
wellwishers and l am anxious to
let the home folks know of the
sports activities of "Big Bilf' Will
son.

TOO MANY PLAYERS
CARDINALPROBLEM

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12.-tP,-Man-
ager Eddie Dyer of the st. Louis
Cardinals faces a poker player S
dilemma for 1946-what to throw
away when your Cards are all
aces.
Counting men already out of the
armed forces or expected out
shortly at least so peacetime
quality first-string ball players
ball players will report at the Red
Bird training camp at st. Peters
burg, Fla, in February. Twenty
five must be discarded by the mid
die of May.
Dyer will have to pick five out
fielders from a roster glittering
with the names of Stan Musial,
Terry Moore, Enos Slaughter,
Harry Walker, Buster Adams,
Johnny Hopp, Danny Litwhiler,
AL Schoendienst and about IA 9TH
ers.
No less than % pitchers, includ-
ing rockies, will be fighting for II
select jobs. Former stars like
Johnny Beazley, HOWE Krist, plus
last years regulars-Red Barrett,
Harry Brecheen, Ken Burkhardt,
Ted Wilks and George Dockins-
make selection really terrific
problem.
In the catching department,
Dyer will have to use his reputa-
ton as whiz with youngsters.
Two of the three present catchers
Del Rice and Gene Crumling-
are first-year men, and three more
highly regarded young prospects
Jerry Burmeister, Del WILDER
and Joe Garagiola-are due back
from the armed forces.
Three-fourths of the infield is
pretty well set with Ray Sanders
at first, Marty Marion at short
and Whitley Kurowski at third.
That leaves Dyer with one hole,
second base, and Jimmy Brown,
Lou Klein and Emil Verban to fill
it.
With such an array, Dyer might
be expected to walk away with
everything in sight. He must win
or become the most second-gues-
sed boss in baseball.
Dyer knows most of the players
personally through his work at
Houston and Columbus. He won't
be stranger. He'll have gobs of
great players. The job will be to
produce a great team.

American League drew $3.50, APO

in the Junior Circuits history,
President William Harridge of

The Tigers, winners of the pen
nant and World Series, drew L.
2S0,341 spectators for an all-timc
Detroit high which nearly reach
ed the leagues single club record
of 1,289,422 set by the New York

second straight year Detroit has
topped the league in attendance.
Detroit also drew the largest

Fritz Crisler, Michigan-I think
Navy had a brilliant team Satur-
day. There wasn't a single defect
that I could see. The Middies look
ed good on the ground and in the
air
Old Professor-So it seems.
Monk Simons, Tulane-That's
where we broke loose, at the seams
in the last quarter. We were in the
game until then.
Bobby Dodd, Georgia Tech-I
thought Monk was lying the night
before the game when he told me
what defense he was going to use.
Gosh, was I surprised when he
used that very defense. And say,
did you see that kid Bert Atom
from Louisville? It was the first
time he'd started a big game, too.
Old Professor - Mr.. Cravath,
what have you to say? Same old
line, 1 suppose.
Jeff Cravath, U. S. C. No sir,
my boys perked up in the line.
Johnny Rea was a good line hacker
and Harry Adelman and Don

We were improved over last week
and had to be. The bears played
a rugged game.

was Saturday, Professor. The boys
played as we'll as they have this
