DAVIS, DEKDEBRUN
LEAD GRID BACKS
BY HAROLD v. RATLIFF

DALLAS, Dec. 70 -(P- Army
Glenn Davis set an all-time ball
carrying record in the 1945 college
football campaign, but it was by
gnat's eyelash.
Mighty Glenn, whose 11.50 yards
per carry on So runs in 1914 was
the greatest in grid history, took
the ball on 81 trips this year and
averaged 1151 as he netted s44
yards.
Davis was far ahead Of the field
in this department, figures re-
leased today by director Homer
F. Cooke, Jr., Of the National Col.
legiate Athletic Bureau showed.
Only three other rushers averaged
better than seven yards per try
! while gaining at least 700 yards.
They were Lowell, Alabama, 8.13:
Bob Fenimore, Oklahoma A and
M, 1888; and Felix Blanchard,
Army, I'll.
Workhorse" of the 1945 cam
paign was Allen Dekdebdun OF
Cornell. Dekdeb run figured in 281
rushing and passing plays and he
gained 1884 yards doing it. Mos
of his yardage, however, was ir
passing-a department in which he
led the nation with plenty to spare
Dekdebrun in nine games tried
1874 throws and completed 80 for
1927 yards. But most effective toss
err was Alabama's Harry Gilmer,
who averaged SAB per cent or
completions - an al-time higt
which erased the .637 by Jimmy
Richardson Of Marquette In 1941
Gilmer completed 81 out of 81
passes.
Fenimore led the nation in tota
offense with 1641 yards rushing
and passing and Fenimore also wa:
the top rusher with 1048 yards
while Reid Moseley Of Georgi;
paced the pass-receivers for The
second year in row with 662 yard!
on 81 catches. In punting, it wa:
Howard Maley Of Southern Metho
dist. who averaged 4l.71 on 5!
boots. Only punters kicking 20 time
or more are considered in figur
ing the leaders. Maley was g.
points ahead of Harry Ghaul o
miami who averaged 41.02 on 6
punts.
The best one-game mark of tn
year in passing was by Charlie.
Trippi Of Georgia-321 yard
