Macarthur
 Denies AP Claim

Tokyo. Nov. 5--(UP)-Gen. Doug las Macarthur denied yesterday that he ever had advocated aboli- ton of the Army-Navy football games.
 The statement that I advocated the abolition is completely false, he said. T have never even dis cussed such ] subject. I have been one of the strongest supporters of this type of athletics and strongly believe in its efficiency for the de- velopment of sound character.
 What I said when was super lntendent at West Point 25 years ago with regard to college athletics and sports was: On the fields of friendly sport are sown seeds which on other fields and other days will bring forth victory"
 His statement related to a dis patch in the Philadelphia Inquirer by Whitney Martin of the Associ- ated Press stating MacArthur had recommended elimination of the annual Army-Navy game fin the interest of unity among our fight ing forces. 1t being the general theory such contests leave an acid taste which fingers throughout the lives of the parties involved"

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE

He made all three yesterday, which gives him a record of only three misses in 30 attempts.
 His passing meanwhile set up all three Ram scores as he completed nine out of IS for l64 yards. In addition he heaved long one that was good for 6l-yard touchdown, only to have 1t nullified by a pen alty.
 Those are the type of reasons why the rest of the league would prefer that Bob stop risking his mar velous map on the grioiron and get into something like acting in the movies. But Bob is silent on his plans. -
 T don't know yet whether I'll keep on playing or for just how long" he explained. It depends on what comes along"
 Whatever it is he's waiting for, the opposition has fervent hopes that 1t will make a speedy arrival.

 The Caps topped St. Louis last night, 8 to 2, for their second yic- tory over the flyers in as many nights. A five-goal assault in the second period settled the issue.

 Hershey battled New Haven to a scoreless tie in a game marked by IS penalties, and Buffalo defeated Cleveland, T to 2 in an even rougher game, with l6 penalties called.

 New York, Nov. 5. (UP)-Bob Waterfield was the wonder and the hope of the National Football league today.
 His team mates were wondering why Watertield. tall, straight, and handsome, wasn't in the movies.
 The rest of the league was hop Ing that he soon would be.
 For as long as the former U. C. L. A. star qliaterbacks that Cleve- land Ram T formation, the boys from the Lake Erie City are going to be mighty tough outfit to beat He proved that in the chill at the : Polo Grounds yesterday when he scored nine points, directed the at tack, passed and kicked the Rams to a 2l-i7 victory over the New York Giants.
 A Cleveland remained tied for the Western Division lead, the con- census was that Waterfleld was the Rams. Yet, while he has the brawn. he still doesn't look like the aver age picture of professional gridder
 The guy is too pretty and grace ful. His i0l pounds look on the Willowy side and his footwork as he rnagicians the ball from under center is something akin to ballet. it was sheer Legerdemain when he sent his backs rocketing into the side of the line. and then waltzed absolutely unnoticed and all alone around left end for the first touch down against the Giants.
 No Softly"
 Don't begin to get the idea that Robert is softly He has plenty of the stuff known in aesthetic circles as intestinal fortitude and he hands out just as many Jumps in the rugged play -tofor-pay circuit as he receives. What's more, he enjoys it.
 This Is even more fun than col lege football" Waterfield said as he slicked up to rejoin his movie star wife, Jane Russell "The fel- lows play harder and. whether you believe 1t or not, have much more spirit along with added finesse. They hit harder and for keeps, which makes 1t all the more interesting Although only professional  rookie, Waterfieid as a marked man is well qualified to comment on the difference between pro and college ball.
 He was one of the best backs ever to play in the powerful Pacific Coast conference, his bunting rec ord of 42 yards per kick leading the nation in 1o44. Bob now is nooting 'em better than ever--and taking on added duties from day 1. 70 day.

In rain or sleet, when McCarthys meet. it's usually the signal for session of chin music that is apt to last far into the night. Three of the famous Clan Mccarthy from Bally-de-Ho got together last week in New York for the first time and quite by accident. One of them is the nationally-famous baseball fig ure, Buffalo Joe Mccarthy. mana gei of the New York Yankees and certainly one of the greatest man. agers of record in the great nation al pastime. The other two were Mir. and Mrs. Jim Mccarthy of Water bury, the first-named, well-known member of "old 265" local lodge of Elks.
 When the Waterbury couple re- alized that the famous Yankee manager was standing next to them in a well-known New York hostelry, Mrs. Mccarthy simply said: "how do you do Mir. Mo- Carthy?" That started it. Mana ger Joe shook hands. was intro duced to hubby Jim Mccarthy, acknowledging the introduction in this fashion: I'm always glad to meet a Mccarthy. The New York manager remembers Waterbury very well because O. the fact he has several friends in this city, most of them alumni of Niagara University, where Joe first be- came seriously interested in base ball.
