DAVIS NOW TOPS
 OWN p0Rk-pELT
 PACKING RECORD
Cowboy Ace Fenimore Has Tight Clasp on Pair
 of Pigskin Marks

DALLAS, Dec. 1-Glenn Davis of Mighty Army will be shooting at two things today when the Cadets meet Navy in the college football seasons grand finale: Victory over Army's deepest rival and a new all- time average gain per rushing play.
 Davis is on top of the record right now with his l2.1 yards per try in 69 carries, that has seen him roll up 837 yards in eight games. If he maintains his present pace-or even Q little below it-he can smash his own mark of 11.5 set last year
 That's how the records of Homer F Cooke, Jr., director of the Ma tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau, show it. No one else with a game left to play is within shouting dis tance Of Davis pigskin- packing mark, so it's Glenn Davis ys. Glenn Davis today as he rolls against Navy.
 Meanwhile, Oklahoma A and Ms Bob Fenimore appears to have two statistical titles sewed up and is due to be the third backfielder in mod ern football history to take couple of crowns simultaneously
 Fenimore has finished the season with a total offense mark of 1,64l yards, on POS plays in eight games. That's 534 yards ahead of Harry Gilmore of Alabama, who is in fourth place, and 551 better than Davis, who is fifth. They are the only players with games left who could, by even superhuman effort, overtake the flying cowboy

GRID SEASON BOWS OUT IN
 SOCK FINISH

B1 MURRAY ROSE

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The regular football campaign closes out with a sock finish today as all-conquering Army clashes with unbeaten Navy for the national championship and the teams still in the running for remaining bowl vacancies get last chance to show their wares.
 About 102,000 fans including Pres ident Truman will jam Philadel- phia's Municipal Stadium to see whether Navy's pepped-up gridders can stop the colossal grid machine put together by Coach Earl Blaik at West Point. The Cadets, with eight straight victories this year and r in row to their credit over the last two seasons, have been made 27-point favorites to turn this tra- ditional battle into a runaway.
 Another huge throng ob about l00,- 0c0 spectators was looked for in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where the Trojans of Southern California will attempt to knock U.CL.'s Bruins out of the way and clinch the Rose Bowl spot against Alabama.
 The 1roJans need only tie or a victory to win the Pacific Coast Conferences championship and the automatic nomination for the Pasa- dena classic Should the Bruins up- set the rope, however, the bid will go to Washington States Cougars unless U!CL.A's triumph is over whelming Tn that event the Con- ference's nominating committee might be inclined to award the prize to the UCLAns because of their pres tige- winning decision over St. Mary's.
 A number of southern teams in- cluding Tennessee, Georgia, Louis jana State and Miami still were in the battle to grab the open Orange Bowl spot against Holy Cross. The hometown Miami Hurricanes boost ed their stock for the opening by trampling Auburn 33-7 las night.
 Georgia engages Georgia Tech in an Atlanta contest while Louisiana State will tangle with Tulane in New Orleans. Once-beaten Tennes- see will be out to put the crusher on Vanderbilt in Knoxville.
 Meanwhile Alabama's mbeaten and united Southeastern Confer ence champions will strive to keep their record pure against Mississippi State in Tuscaloosa. Other games in the south match Virginia vs. North Carolina, Clemson vs. Wake Forest and Maryland vs. South Carolina.
 In the east, Yale and Harvard wnl meet for the first time since 1922.
 In other games Baylor plays Rice, southern Methodist goes against Texas Christian, Notre Dame en- gages Great Lakes and on the Pac- fife Coast California concludes it's schedule in a non-conference battle against the St. Mary's Pre-flight eleven at Berkeley. The Bears may win, although Pre-flight will go into the game as the favorite.
 In the northwest, Oregon and Oregon State will settle the second half of their state rivalry at Eugene. OSC was 19-0 better in the first meeting, but this time will have an

 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON. Jr.

NEW YORK, Dec. How would you like to see eastern backfield in the EaSt-West game New Years Day composed of Arnys Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard and Notre Danes Frank Dancewicz and Elmer Angsman? There's a precedent for Army participation. In 1925 Ed Garbisch and Guy Farwick of Army and Bill Ingram of Navy all played for the East. And Riff Jones, Armys ath- letic boss, used to coach in the Shrine game. One sure thing, that quartet would drive Coach Andy Double Wing Kerr to take up the TT" formation.
