rs Returned Veterans Seen Making Grid Game More Rugged
East Potomac Links Improved;
Work at Rock Creek Planned
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Unknown to many public links
golfers, two Of the three courses at
East Potomac Park have been under
going a face lifting program that
will bring them up to the 1916 sea-
son in much better shape than they
have, been in many years. To add to
the improvement program planned
for the public courses, long sought
by The Star, several changes are in
prospect at Rock Creek Park.
Half the cost Of reconstructing 16
greens on courses B and d at East
Potomac Park had been borne by S.
G. Leoffier, the concessionnaire, ac-
cording to Course Manager AL
Thomas. The other half has been
paid by the Office of National Cap
ital Parks, Thomas said.
All putting green's on course B,
with the exceptions of Nos. and
8, have been rebuilt and planted with
seaside bent, which now is in good
condition and favored by good grow
ing weather. In addition seven new
tees, larger than the old tees, have
been built.
All the putting greens on Course
D have been reconstructed and new
tees also have been installed.
Changes made IN D include new
first hole around 300 yards in length,
playing to the old No. green. A
new second hole has been built, to
be played around 225 yards, with the
green opposite the third tee. The
new third hole, formerly 475-yard
par S affair, henceforth will play 525
yards as a par S.
Course F, rebuilt during the spring
and summer of 1945, was used in the
playing of the District public links
championship this year, and is in

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Without a
dissenting vote, Arrny's eleven has
been named the No. l college foot
ball team of the country for the
second year in succession.
In defeating Navy, 32-13, Saturday
Tor their 18th consecutive victory
in two seasons, the Cadets convinced
lis of the 116 experts who voted in
the final Associated Press rating
poll that they stand in a class by
themselves.
Last year Army drew 95 of the
121 first-place ballots while runner
up Ohio State collected five and the
service squads attracted the other
top ballots This year the service
teams were not included in the
poll. The twice-beaten Buckeyes,
incidentally, finished in 18th this
year.
Harold Harris of the Knoxville,
(Tenn) News-Sentinel, continued
to rate Alabama above the all-win-
ming young generals. His first-place
vote for the Crimson Tide lifted
the Rose Bowl guest into second
place behind the Army with Navy
dropping to third place by a lone
point. Awarding 10 points for each
frst-place vote, nine for second,
ETC., Alabama compiled s42 points,
Navy 941.
Indiana's Big Ten champions
grabbed of fourth place while Okla
homa Aggies, another unbeaten and
united combination, moved up from
sixth to fifth.

MANILA, Dec. 4.-United States
Army morale builders have
transformed this war ar-wrecked
Philippine capital into an ath-
letic wonderland where "a sports
flourish simultaneously in prep
aration for the forthcoming Far
East Olympics.
Without plunking down nickel
for pasteboards, the fans can
take their pick of baseball, foot
ball, boxing or II other major
sports which always remain in
season. Ten minor activities
ranging from horseshoes to table
tennis fill out the bustling ath-
letic program in this sports cap
ital of the Pacific.
At the moment all eyes are
turned toward the Olympics,
which are scheduled between De-
cember 81 and January l, and
the Bamboo Bowl game, listed
for New Year Day. Gridiron
huskies from eight major bases
are battling it out in round
robin elimination for the honor
of taking part in that one.
A flock of excollege stars plus
brawny lads who learned how to
handle the pigskin back behind
the gas works have turned the
football parade into something
worth seeing.
The baseball is probably bet
ter than the too-young or too
old brand which was peddled in
the major leagues the past couple
of seasons. Kirby Higbe, DOM
inic di Maggie, Johnny Welaj
and Early Wynn are just a few
of the big leaguers competing in
inter-baseball leagues.

Miami Is 6-5 Choice
Over Holy Cross in
Orange Bowl Tilt
BY the Associated Press.


MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 4.-Early
betting today rated the University
of Miami football team a 6 to S
choice over Holy Cross in the
Orange Bowl here on New Year
Day.
The Hurricanes with a record of
eight victories. one tie and a de-
feat were unanimously selected.
Selection of Miami marked the
first time in 10 years that the
Orange Bowl Committee had gone
outside the Southeastern Confer
ence in picking its Southern repre-
sentative.
Miami played against Bucknell in
the first Orange Bowl game in 1885
and lost, 26 to O.
Coach Jack Harding of the Hur-
ricaneS announced that a game
scheduled with the University of
Havana at Havana Saturday night
had been Cancelled. He said he
would give his squad a two-weeks
layoff before resuming practice for
the New Year day title.
Miami's principal strength has
been its line, rated as one of the
best in the South, and Fullback
Harry Ghaul, the Nations No. l
collegiate punter, and one of the
top scorers with 100 points.

Perry Not Seen Ready
For Big Bout Despite
His K0 Of La Saliva
BY BOB MCLEAN.

Where does Aaron Perry go from
here? With a third round KO over
Vince La Saliva last night in Uline
Arena on the record, young Aaron
and his manager, Harry Garsh, de-
bated that question today.
The District youngster has made
a brilliant start in his comeback
campaign since an Army discharge
with a savage 10-round draw split
with Tony Riccio and the La Saliva
KO. His future is a matter of much
speculation. Bee Bee Washington is
mentioned as a possible opponent.
Other talk names Danny Kapilow.
Chances are that Perry will fight
neither.
La Saliva, who holds a decision
over Kapilow, doesn't think Perry is
ready for Dapper Dan. Danny is
too smart" La Saliva said in his
dressing room after last nights
fight. Perry hits like a mule kicks,
but he hasn't much defense. Kapi-
low can catch and he would out
point him"
Perry Learning to Box.
A Perry Washington match would
be natural Aaron has grown up
to Isl pounds and is big enough to
take on a middleweight such as
Bee Bee, but promotion difficulties
stand in the way Rival camps can-
not come to terms and the match is
cold at the moment
To all of which Manager Garsh
says amen. In 1914, when Perry
was just developing, Garsh was
forced to rush the youngster into
bouts with the likes of Henry Arm
strong and Jimmy Mcdaniel, which
turned out unfortunately for Aaron.
It's a different story now. There's
plenty of time, and Garsh is de-
veloping the 20-year-old, teaching
him some boxing to go with his
natural punching powers, and plan
ming for the long haul.
A dynamite punch now is Perry's
main asset. Before he caught La
Saliva last night at the 48-second
mark of the third, the New Yorker
was holding his own in the point
making. And, curiously enough, it
wasn't the spectacular right-hand
smash to the chops that laid La
Saliva away, but a punch that came
a moment before.
Uppercut Stops La Saliva.
1t was a wicked right uppercut to
the heart that travelled but inches
and virtually paralyzed Vince He
got up at the end of the count
and. struggled with Referee Ray
5owen to continue the fight, but he
was out on his feet.
La Saliva, a resident of Mount
Vernon, N. Y, weighed l46 to

Tribe Relies on Recent
Additions 10 Down
Giants Sunday
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Those gents who checked in at the
WigWam late this season, for reasons
beyond their control, will have to
earn their groceries Sunday If the
Redskins hope to whip the Giants
and take Eastern pro football
honors.
Some of the older Injuns' bones
are weary. They've been kicking the
ball around since August and that's
long time to have some one beating
on your skull and jarring your ribs
loose. The more recent arrivals,
however, are just getting their teeth
into it, just warming up and brim-
ming over with fire and vinegar.
We remember reading somewhere
this season that Greasy Neale said
that If Philadelphia failed to win
the championship it would be be-
cause its season was too long. Curley
Lambeau, Green Bay coach, told us
he thought the Eagles would burn
themselves out in their preseason
games, when they we're hotter than
an outraged mother -in-law. Appar-
emily that is what happened.
Giants Improve Gradually.
The Eagles couldn't come back in
the second half when the Giants
jumped EN- last Sunday, and yet
everybody thought they had the best
team in the circuit-either divi-
Sion-when the season opened. The
Giants, on the other hand, appar-
emily are beginning to feel their oats
and preparing for another slambang
windup 1t is one of Steve owens
hide-pound coaching rules that his
team never starts practice before
the last week in August, so 1t will
have something left for December.
Maybe you've noticed that the
Giants always - well, almost al
ways-look ragged in September and
| early October and catch on fire at
the tail end of the season.
The Redskins were tired last year
when the Giants ambushed 'em here
in the seasons finale, but Sunday
could be a different story because
the veterans will get helping hand
from recent additions to the roster.
In the line, for example, Fred Davis
and Clem Stralka, tackle and guard
respectively, are a couple of vets who
would look good on any team, while
Al De Mao and Ki Aldrich, both CEN
ters, bolstered the Tribe greatly.
Tribes New Talent Helps.
In the backfield, veterans Cece
Hare and Merlyn Condit and rockies
Bob De Fruiter, Leo Presley and Jim
Gaffney not only have brought re-
lief but may add a punch to the
ofense Gaffney and Presley still
are untried, but the others seem to
be just what the doctor ordered, and
they'll see plenty Of action Sunday
OF course, the Giants have come
up with couple of recent additions
in Bill Paschal and George Franck
with similarly beneficial reactions,
but if weight of numbers will do it
the Skins ought to smother them
Until 10 days ago the Tribes board
of strategy didn't consider it a good
week unless it signed new player
or two, added a coach and dropped
a hint about more changes to come
The board Is sort of resting on its
