Rams Click With TT Plays

Chicago, Nov. 14 - (SpeciaD = Adam Walsh's rampaging young Cleveland Rams are pressing on to- ward the major league rushing rec ord. Official National Football League figures today reveal the Rams, co-leaders in the western di- vision, are gaining an average of 5.l yards every time they run the ball from their (T) formation.
 In seven games, Rookie Bob Wa terfield has directed the Rams to 1882 yards, and while this figure is 50 yards short of the game mark set by the Detroit Lions of l936, their average per rush is only three tenths of yard of the record es- abolished by Dutch Clark, Ernie Caddel, Gus Gutowsky and company in a 12-game schedule back there before some of the Rams had start ed to high school.
 Running Plays
 The Lions ran over opposing lines the year at gait of 240 yards per game and 54 yards per rush. But they were not as adept, nor as par tial to the forward pass as the Rams and sometimes used as many as 60 running plays per game.
 While the Rams are gaining at the rate of l90 yards per game over the ground, their rivals for the lead, the Detroit Lions, now victorious in their last eight brushes with the T formation, continue to be the toughest opponent to advance against. The Lions have limited the opposition to an average gain per rush of 21 yards. Philadelphia is next best with a defensive mark of 2.4 yards against running plays.
 Whether the offense or the de- fense shall prevail in the close vest ern division race will be one of the numerous important matters which will come up for settlement in De- troit on Thanksgiving morning when the Lions and Rams meet for the only time this season.

Korro $40, AIpho 25-9 Touch Winners

Kara broke the deadlock and took sole possession of first place in the Hi-Y Touch Football League last night when they romped oyer the Beta Club in a $40 win. The yictors put forth display of pass ing and running ability as they scored in every period and put up a stalwart defense that held Beta in check for four scoreless periods.
 The first score came within min utes of the opening whistle on a long pass from Rosa to Datelle. Three plays later Madden caught a Beta back behind his lines for two more points. In the second period, Korbusieski surrounded by oppo- nents leaped high in the air to drag down another touchdown pass, and again in the third period he inter cepted a Beta pass for another touchdown.
 The play of the evening came in the fourth period when Piersall took kick of and weayed his way through the entire Beta team for a touchdown.
 The remaining points were gar- nered by Swircenski in safety and an end run for touchdown. Score:

Army Life, Winning Tennis Go

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 30
Any connection between Army life
and winning tennis might be hard
to find, but the 64th national mems
singles championships, now going
on at the West Side Tenris Club,
offer four examples to show they
aren't too far apart.

won the title as a soldier last year

For the fourth place on the list
there's contest between 1t Sey-
mour Greenberg and 1t Hal Sur

has reached the fourth round with
out trouble, while Surface, although
eliminated, put up one of yester-
days best performances against the

All but Falkenburg have seen

making tour with three other
tennis stars to entertain service
personnel, when the Japs capitu-
lated and frankie drew a 30-day
leave to defend his title. Parker
doesn't think that kind of Army
life hurt his game much, as he was
able to play about three times a
week against Don Bulge, Bobby
Riggs and Wayne Sabin. All he had
to do was to get used to grass courts
again.
Guernsey, wiry little fellow who
was intercollegiate champion in
1888 and 1889 and who attained
10th place in the national rankings
in 1889. recently returned from Eng
land where he was plotting a
fighter plane when the war with
Germany ended. Before that he
spent nine months in the Aleutians.
He picked up the Distinguished
Flying Cross and the Air Medal
during year and half in Europe.
His only recent tournament play,
Guernsey says. was In a doubles
event at Wimbledon about five
weeks ago and he credits a strenu-
Gus tuneup against Bill Tilden with
