Jim Reynolds Big Help To Oklahoma AIM
BY BROOKS H. BICKNELL United Press Sports Writer

Saltwater, Okla, Dec. 22.-UP)- A year ago fullback Jimmy Reynolds of Oklahoma A. and M. college was battling the enemy over Europe in cold, bleak air-war. But come this New Years Day and he will be churning the turf against the strong St. Mary's College Gaels in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans.
 Reynolds, who left record of being the nations No. 1 ground gainer on the gridiron in 1941 to join the Army Air Forces, returned to Oklahoma A. and M. after the grid iron workouts had begun and the Aggies had defeated Arkansas-pick- ing up where he left off.
 The crazy-legged ball carrier, who runs in the fullback slot alternating with crashing Jim Palmer, 195- pound ramrod, will graduate in the Spring but his football tasks will have been complete despite an in- terruption for a crack at the NaZis.
 Against the University of Okla homa, A. and Ms. chief rival, Rev. holds was the spearhead in the 47-0 triumph, the largest score ever chalked up by Cowboy team against the state rivals. That day, Reynolds, scoring a couple of touch- downs and running the Oklahoma gridmen dizzy, out-shone All-Am- erica halfback Bob Fenimore, the boy who replaced him as the A. and M ace on the gridiron during his years of absence.
 To Race Wedemeyer
 Coach Jim Lookabaugh will call on Reynolds and Fenimore to give All American halfback Herman Wede- meyer, Hawaiian born St. Mary's star, run for the money in the Sugar Bowl classic.
 Reynolds ground gaining record, second to Fenimore this season, in- dicates his ability to carry the mail on the gridiron.
 Reynolds returned from the wars to share in the ball carrying duties lugging the pigskin 52 times for an average of 5.57 yards gained per try. His passing performances were limited-What with Fenimore's bullet pitches taking the majority of the assignments. But Jimmie tossed 10 aerials with seven compilations for a gain of 228 yards.
 He was handspring with Feni- more and a bevy of fine backs in A. and Ms. all-victorious season. The Aggies rolled up 2,295 yards against their eight opponents 869.
 Reynolds and Fenimore, the gold- dust twins of the Lookabaugh back field, split the kicking honors fairly even all season. Blond Bob booted the ball the most, but his 39-yard average shaded Reynolds kicking average of 36 yards a small amount.
 Palmer, who alternated with Rey- holds in crashing the line, too, was a powerhouse on driving through, and was capable of snatching few passes that counted when it needed to count. Palmer toted the ball 57 times for an average of 4.58 yards per try. N.
 All of the A. and M. backs figured in the ground-gaining record with speed, hard running and unex- pected laterals filling the air, to implement Lookabaugh's elusive of- fensive tactics.
 This. behind a powerful charging line, gives A. and M. the edge in the Sugar Bowl battle against a light, somewhat inexperienced band of Gaels from Moraga Valley, Cal- ifornia.

CONNIE MACK, 83, TALKS
 BASEBALL
St. Petersburg, Fla. Dec. 22-cJ

St. Petersburg, Fla, Dec. 22-(UP) Hale, hearty and enjoying the Florida sunshine, Connie Mack pre- dicted today on the eve of his 83d birthday that baseball was entering it's greatest era.
 The silver haired leader of the Philadelphia Athletics, who soon will be starting his 62d year of base ball and his 14th year in quest of "just one more pennant.' was in an optimistic mood as he considered prospects for the 1946 season.
 Baseball is a better game today than it was 10 years ago." Connie said. Tt will be an even better game 10 years hence"
 Sees No Comparison
 The tall tactician whose teams won nine American League pennants and five world championships hes 1tated when asked whether his 1910 World Series winners could have beaten such modern greats as the pre-War Yankees.
 "The game has improved so much that no real comparison is fair or possible" he explained. Like trolley cars, office buildings or farming progress goes on all the time. Games won and lost, batting averages, fielding performance and earned run records stacked against each other over the decades do not tell the story"
 But Connie has his own personal list of pests" These are:
 Players he developed: Mickey Cochrane, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons Eddie Collins, Chief Bender, Eddie Plank, Jack Coombs. Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw
 Best team: New York Yankees, world champions of 1936-39.
 Best managers: John McGraw, Giants; Hughie Jennings, Tigers.
 Rockies To Have It Hard
 As for the 1946 season, Connie fears that too few promising rockies will get a chance to tryout with Major League clubs this spring.
 Transportation difficulties and the lack of hotel space in the vicin- ity of training camps will prevent most clubs from maintaining large squads" he explained.
 But the greatest player reservoir that baseball has of course is those boys discovered and developed at Army camps in this country and overseas ultimately they all will get their chance"
 Tomorrow afternoon, Connie will be made an honorary citizen of St. Petersburg at city-wide celebra- tion which will attract thousands to Williams Park. In the evening he will be given a testimonial dinner by the city and Chamber of Com merce.

Bristol 45-18 OverCrosbv5
BY YIN MALONEY Staff Writer)

Crosby suffered its initial defeat last night at the Wilby gym as Bris- tol registered an impressive 45 to Is victory over the Leemen before ap- proxitnately 300 court fans. For the Monahanmen this was the fourth win in five starts and the first de- feat in 2 starts for the East Main Streeters, who defeated Watertown earlier this week, 57 to 22. Brilliant offensive and defensive playing on the part of the visitors was the highlight of this fast moving hoop contest. This game easily ranks as the best yet played in the city this season.
 StandoutS
 Bo Rafaniello and Ed McHugh, the Bristol scoring twins living up to advance rave notices played a brand of defensive and offensive ball that had the local basketeers stopped all the way. Forging a g point lead early in the first quarter to lead going into the second frame 10 to 1, the visitors checked the Lee men so completely that they were able to walk off with the ball game on the top half of 45 to IS score. Dominating the all-around play during the whole contest Rafaniello, Boyko, McHugh, and SydlowSki tossed up 38 points between them. Don Synott, high scorer for the local array in the first contest with Watertown was so completely check ed during the greater part of the four quarters that he was only able to score 4 points until he was ush- cred out on fouls in the final per- iod. Jim Steck, Johnny Davis and Pete Kuzmenko were the backbone of the Crosby rallies in this contest with Kuzmenko and Steck tossing in 12 of the 18 markers. The visitors led at the half time 19 to 6 and 34 to 10- going into the fourth quarter. The game was finally clinched for the Monahan array in the final period when the Red and White held the Leemen to points and chalked up Il to their credit. The final score was Bristol 45; Crosby 18. The Bristol five won the pre- liminary from the Crosby reserves 35 to 26

KARRA HI-Y
 1945 TOUCH GRID CHAMPS

The lily Touch Football League ended Wednesday night and Karra held top position, a spot which it never lost throughout the entire schedule of play. Up until the sixth round, Karra and Beta were tied for first honors but when the two clubs met, Karra emerged the vic- tor. Beta dropped one more game during league play, to Sigma.
 Karra's only official loss was by a forfeit in the tenth round which never seriously affected their stand ing. Actually, they were never de- feated in play.
 Highlight of the league was the Sigma Kara game which wound up 32-28 and directly the best played game of the year, and the only playing loss Sigma suffered. Their other two losses were the result of forfeits.

Holmes Best
 |N. L. SIugger

New York, Dec. 22-(,UP)-Hard- hitting Tommy Holmes of the Bos- ton Braves, who was nosed out for the National League batting crown and most valuable player award, received some consolation today when the official averages disclosed that he won the circuits slugging championship.
 Holmes who finished second to first-baSeman Phil Cavarretta of the Cubs in batting and the most valu- able player voting, took slugging honors handily with percentage Of SIT. The Boston outfielder, who was the leagues home-run king in 1945, finished 66 points better than George (Whitey) Kurowski of the Cardinals, who was second with .511
 Third highest slugger was Cava- retta with a mark of 800 and Melott and Ernie Lombardi followed with respective averages of .499 and .486. Catcher Bill Salkeld who sported a .547 average only participated in 95 games.
 AnOLucE ScCUUu
 Left-hander Holmes however, had to content himself with second places again in the runs-batted-in- column, Dixie Walker of Brooklyn gaining that title with 124. Be- hind Holmes, who boasted IF, were Andy Pafko of Chicago and Luis Olmo of Brooklyn with 110 each, and Pittsburgh Bob Elliott wound up fifth with 108. It was the first time in Walkers career that he batted in 100 runs.
 Another Dodger, Eddie Stanky, drew 148 bases-on- balls thereby breaking 34-year-old National League standard of 147 which was held by Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs.
 Ott, by receiving T1 bases-on- balls, increased his league record to 1,700. The giant managers .79 runs driven in brought his lifetime mark to 1856, which also constitut- ed an all-time senior circuit record.

 Terryville has been without a rep resentative town team since 1941, when most of the towns athletes entered the service, but with the return of many veterans, the pros poets are that the town will be rep- resented by a strong five.

New York, Dec. 22-(UP)-Baby- faced Tony Janiro of Youngstown, O.-A contender for "youngster of the year" honors in professional boxing-registered his 18th victory last night in IT starts during 1945 by winning unanimous eight round decision over Humberto za- vala, Mexican welterweight.
 Although Janiro had stopped the Mexican switch-hitter because of cuts in a previous bout, last nights triumph was ultra-important for the 19-year- r-old Ohio kid. It showed experts and 6,403 fans at Madison Square Garden that he ap- parently had suffered no blighting effects from the severe head beat ing dished out by Johnny Greco on Nov. g.
 Slips
 There were no genuine knock downs, although zavala hit the can vas from a half-slip, half-push just before the final bell. Meanwhile, in the sixth session, Janiro slipped in wet spot, as did Referee Harry Ebbetts in the seventh. Janiro had weight advantage of 143 1-2 pounds to 136 3-4.

New York, Dec. 22-UP)-Foot faults and foul shots on the sports scene: Walter Pate, non-playing captain of the Davis cup team, doesn't think too highly of a recent West Coast suggestion that such professiona, stars as Don Budge and Bobby Riggs be reinstated as amateurs tc help win back the big silver trophy from Australia.
 Pate thinks that the current am. ateurs would lick the pros.
 Proof of that" Pate battered, "is that every time top amateur turns pro he defeats all of the old-time professionals. The amateurs are playing constantly and thus keep ir tournament form while the pros are slipping constantly"
 More Than Tan
 Don't blame me, feners, that's how Pate looks at it. I'm one o1 those who would like to take Buxge and Riggs down under and be sure of sailing home with more than s coat of tan.
 One of the Best floor shows of the season was presented at the recent trial of trainer Tom Smith, accused of abusing Magnific Duel's nostrils with epherdrine. A featured per former was John T. Cahill, the Ma poleonic posturing attorney for the defense. And one of Cahill's classic questions to State Dr. James Howe was:
 What would be the antidiuretie effect of pituitary extract applied nasally in a case of diabetes insip- idus?" "How?" Asked Howe.
 T got that one off pretty gooc didn't T., Cahill smiled at newspa- permen. He did, but he didn't get Smith off.
 Taller-Than Kurland
 One of the most startling disclos. ures of the hearing was the testi- mony of Dr. Harry Gold to the ef- feet that "alcohol is not a stimu- lant-but depressant." .. No, he wasn't kidding.
 Bob Kurland, seven-foot center o1 the Oklahoma Aggies, isn't the tall est player in basketball. Honors at the moment go to Elmore Morgen. thaler, center of the New Mexico School of Mines, with an altitude of seven feet, one inch. |. and one of the mysteries is how these guys get around in fog.
 The pressure is really on jockey job Dean Jessop, who has only eight days left to break Jackie Westrope's modern mark of riding 301 winners in 8 year. Job was going lickety split for while-but in the last three days has ridden only one winner.
 Has IS To Go Which recalls the trouble Vest rope had as his year came close to the finish. He had ridden as many as five and six day during the year but in the last five days of 1883 rode only two. he was lucky to set the record-and job will be still 1uckier to get the 18 he needs for 302.
