of men simply for football game.
 First of all, it's far more than a football game, this display by youngsters wearing their country $ hopes and hearts on their sleeves. But you can answer even that one by taking only the senior classes from both academies. Those kids look grand in their uniforms and a lot of other boys would like to be in their shoes but it's pretty good lad who can come through those four rough years at the academies with flying colors.
 Incentive
 And in this trip, the seniors would have something additional for which to work. But there would still be enough of them, with their straight, strong ranks, to provide the pre- game show which is the real window dressing for the game of the year And while 1t would be high reward to those boys about to become men in Khaki and blue, it also would be remuneration to the tax-paying citi- zens who make it possible, the Texas oil workers, the ranchers, the cot ton and wheat farmers, the lumber workers and the other people out across the country who otherwise might never see one of the grandest and most inspiring shows of the sporting world.
 So the answer would seem to be to put the game on sectional basis progressing from the east to the south. the southwest, the midwest the Rockies and the Far West. The only difficulty is that it's too sen- sible and, while many people talk good game, thenes nobody to car " the ball."

 By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer)

New York. Nov. 1 - (UP) - Army's football team f1ddled today while the Rose Bowl committee burned and the possibility that the crushing Cadets might take H. Greeley's advice and go west focused attention on the recent remarks of Sen. William Langer of North Da- kota.
 Incensed that the East holds 8 monopoly on the Army-Navy foot ball game, the Senator suggested that the game should be given to a different state every year. On first glance that looks like typical and farcical f1libuster, but modified 1t could be an idea with real merit.
 Although Langer is a farmer, as well as a lawyer, his proposition shows he doesn't know his pigsiSin oats. For instance, if the game war awarded on an alphabetical basis, Wyoming wouldn't get the game until 1893 - and that's long time for the Cowboy State to wait.
 Yet there's no denying that every section of the country should get a shot at the classic, one of the years outstanding sporting events. Mo- thing produces the electric tension, the spine-chilling thrill that raises goose bumps on your neck and your arms, like the sight of those future generals and admirals as they march with faultless precision.
 No one section of the country should have this thrill as its own, year in and year out, simply be- cause the academies are in the east. The oil man in Texas; the rancher on the plains; the farmer in the midwest; the cotton broker in the south and the studio worker on the west coast has right to see this spectacle in his own setting. They all pay their proportionate share of the freight.
 So the ideal setup for the blue rib bon gridiron classic, always thrill Ter despite the calibre of the foot ball involved, would be to put 1t on section basis. For the sake of argu- ment, it could be awarded consecu- lively to Durham, s. O.; New Or leans, Dallas in the southwest, Chi cago for the midwest, Denver in the Rocky Mountain area, put into the Rose Bowl for Southern California and to San Francisco, Portland or Seattle for the northwest.
 The prime problem would be transportation of such large mass

PRO FOOTBALL
 TITLE BIDDERS
 DOWN TO FOUR
By CORNELIUS RYAN United Press Sports Writer

New York, Nov. 12. (UP)-The Cleveland-Detroit game on Thanks giving day and the Washington Philadelphia game on Nov. 25 shaped up today as likely to name the champinos in the respective divi- sions of the National Professional Football league.
 The Washington Redskins led the Philadelphia Eagles by one game in the Eastern Division, while De- troit and Cleveland were tied at six games won and one lost in the Western Division.
 Cleveland virtually eliminated the defending champion Green Bay to T, while Detroit rallied in the Packers yesterday, topping them 20 last quarter to defeat the Chicago Bears, 35 to 28.
 Fred Gehrke, Cleveland halfback, sparked the Ram attack with touch- down runs of 72 and 42 yards. Bob Waterford passed to Jim Benton, who ran 84 yards for the third marker. Three scores came in the first period.
 Detroit won on the passing of Cotton Price to end John Greene, which set up the last three Lion scores. Sid Luckman threw four touchdown passes for the bears.
 Washington rolled over the Bos- ton Yanks 34 to T, averaging the Redskins only loss. Two field goals by Joe Aguirre gave Washington a nearly lead, and a pass from Sammy Baugh to Steve Bagarus made 1t 13 to 0. The Redskins then scored two more touchdowns viz the ground route before last minute pass topped long drive with a touchdown for Boston.
 Philadelphia combined superE passing by Roy Zimmerman and fine running by Steve Van Burer for an easy 38 to IT win over New York. Zimmerman passed to Jack Ferrante for two scores and Var Buren ran for two more.
 Pittsburgh, Stymied for three peri ods by ankle-deep mud and harc Rain, exploded for three touchdowni in the last quarter and g to victory over the Chicago Cardinals Halfback Bill Dudley, the league! leading ground gainer in 1942, made his first postwar appearance ane scored twice.

EskeuU US Priest

Boston, Nov. 12.-(UP)-John Henry Eskew of Brockton, who in three months out of the U. s. Mer- chant Marine has piled up seven straight ring victories by knockouts, faces the heavy-punching Al (Red) Priest of Cambridge tonight in a 1o-round bout at Mechanics build ing.
 Eskew, a middleweight with the torso of a heavyweight, is expected to be slightly favored to defeat Priest who has yet to lose fight since coming out of the Navy two months ago.
 Best victory for Priest, who will probably give away about seven pounds to his Negro opponent, came two weeks back when he knocked out the veteran Freddy Cabral in one of the city's widest fights ot the year.

Park Dept.
 Sponsors Sports
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

The final event on the park department's 1945-46 program Of sports for public and parochial schoolboys comes to a close tomor- row afternoon at Municial Stadium with the staging of the finals or the touch football tournament fea- turning the undefeated Duggan and once beaten St. Joseph's teams.
 We were interested to learn today that more than 1000 boys and girls of grammar school age participated in the sports program sponsored last year by the park department in cooperation with the school de- partment. Activities included be- sides touch football and basketball, foul shooting, baseball, girls SOIL ball, and sports movies.
 Touch football was added to the program last fall as an exper1- ment with the staging of tourna- ment in which IA schools took part. The event was a two-loSS- and-out affair, and each team was comprised of eight players but allowed to carry 15. Games were played at Hamilton, Fulton and Bunker Hill Stadium while the finals and semifinals were staged at Municipal Stadium.
 Rules were drawn up in which the element of danger was ellm- mated by banning bodily contact. Referees were paid dollar per game with each school contribut- ing fifty cents. One hundred and fifty-eight boys participated with B. w. Tinker winning the title.
 Basketball was next on the pro- gram and four leagues comprls- ing 26 teams were operated. Six teen made up the minor and major divisions, six in the Sixth | Grade loop, and six in the high school freshmen circuit with Nau- gatuck and Watertown's yearllngs as invited members along with Leavenwoeth, Sacred Heart, Wilby and Crosby.
 Sixth Grade Activity Popular
 The Sixth Grade group was an experiment which worked out very successfully. All games in the latter loop were played at Chase Park. Two hundred and sixty boys took part in the four leagues.
 At the completion of the basket ball league season,a fou!-shoot- ing tourney was staged at Chase Park for Schoolboys with 54 com peting.
 Three baseball leagues were formed in the spring with PTS boys taking part between sixth anc eighth grade ages. The playoff be- tween the public and parochla champions, staged as a war savings stamp game, netted $1O0 for the third successive year.
 A girls softball league, onlS activity on the program for girls was successfully conducted for th' second year. Six schools were rel resented.
 All of which adds up to an m teresting program for Waterbury! hundreds of youngsters of grammar school age who wish to take ad vantage of the various sports.

Coast Guard May Be YaLe's 5OOfh Victim

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 12-(UP) -The Yale football team still is looking for it's 500th victory after the Brown Bears stymied the first try Saturday by taking the Ellis 20 to 2 In the two teams 50th meeting. The Eli hopes for making the new record against Coast Guard this weekend still were bright.
 The Bulldogs led to 6 at half time, but Brown scored once in the third period and again in the fourth to clinch the ninth victory in the Yale-B Brown rivalry. Art Dakos's passing and the running of Bill Penn and Handy Vandy Kirk were outstanding. Wilkie converted after Dakos pushed across Yale's one tally In the first quarter. Browns Timmy Kavazanijan, halfback Bill Lyons and Bob Mesch led the Bruin at- tack.
 The Ellis outrushed the Brown team 1N to l40 and 9 to 19 first downs.
 Yale's Captain Paul Walker was to undergo x-ray examinations to- day to determine the seriousness he suffered in taking a lateral pass from Dakos in the first period.
