 Joe Bell had all the better of it in the family feud last night, scor- ing three goals in New Haven's 8 to { American League victory over Providence while Gordon Bell was tending goal for the losers.
 The brother battle featured a full slate of American League games in which Buffalo strengthened it's lead in the Eastern Division with a ! to 2 victory over Hershey, while In- dianapolis, the Western Division leader suffered a 6 to 0 setback ct Cleveland. In the fourth game. the st. Louis Flyers continued their mastery over the Pittsburg Barons beating them for the fourth time at St. Louis, 8 to l.

During the half-time, the score was 26-18. It wasn't until the second period that the "" staff team began to score. The staff combine after 6 rest period of two weeks and the nursing of sore mus cleS might consider stretching the possibilities of playing two games this year instead of the usual one, providing a strong challenging team can be found in the Y.

ALABAMA LINE OUTSTANDING
 IN S4-14W WIN
by HAL WOOD United Press Sports writsr)


 Pasadena, cal, Jan. 2-CUP)-- Somewhere along the line in his coaching work the last six weeks, Jeff Cravath of the University of Southern California Trojans, over looked something.
 He he'd heard all year about Ala bama's great passing attack, featur- ing Harry 0ilmer. So he set about to map a defense for Gllmer's aer- ials--and he forgot that Coach Frank Thomas had one of the greatest running attacks in the na- ton.
 The result was a humlliating S4- i4 loss for the Trojans at the hands of Crimson tide in yesterdays Rose Bowl clash before 93,000 fans. The defeat was the first in nine trips to the Bowl for Troy, and 1t also marked the fourth win against Q tie and a loss for the Southerners.
 LOp-Side Until Finals
 The game was a lot more lop-sid- ed tllAn the score indicates. It wasn't until the closing minutes of the game that USC could put up anything that looked like an offen- sive-and the two scores the ITO. jans did count came after an Ala barna tumble and a blocked Bama punt.
 The one-sidedness of the game is shown in the statistics. During the first half, as Alabama ran up Q 20-0 lead, the Crimson Tide had 168 yards from scrimmage compared with a minus g for Fl Trojan.
 The light, but fast-charging Ala bama line outplayed the slow and heavy Trojan forward wall all the way through.
 The tide started the game by charging the line and scored from l7-yards out on four plays. Then when USC frightened up its torma- ton, Gilmer tossed Q few aerials to open things up. That did 1t.
 The statistics for the day showed Alabama gained 2o2 yards to six on the ground and 59 to 35 in the air.
 Center of Line Credited
 All-American center Vaughn Manca and right guard Jack Green ripped open wide holes in the Tro- jan line which allowed the 'Bama backs to go through standing up. It wasn't until they were well into the secondary that they had to start bucking.
 The Tide scored in every quarter, picking up one touchdown in the opening period; two in the second and one each in the third and fourth. Gilmer passed to Quarter back Hal Self for one and all the rest were pounded over through the line.
 Gilmer, while using his pas threat only psychologically. was the big ground-gainer of the day, pick. ing up 1l6 yards in l6 attempts toi a 7:25 yards a try average.
 The only ray of light on the Tro- ian team was the work of Tec Tannehill, who not only played bang-up defensive game, but wal the leading use ground-gainer. l .. ..., .aaN " G FV

New York, Jan 2.-(UP)-Sidney Schwartz of Brooklyn was National Indoor Junior Tennis champion to- day because of a fine comeback which enabled him to beat Seaman Richard Savitt, 6-2, 3-6, 5-7, GA, 6-3 in yesterdays title match.
 Savitt, who is from the Memphis Tenn, Naval Air Base, appeared to have the title within his grasp when he took the second and third sets and established a lead in the fourth. But he didn't reckon with Schwartz's stamina and faded fast in the marathon contest.

Last Second
 Breuk Gives Miomi U. Win
By RICHARD Q. GLASS

Miami, Fla, Jan. 2-(UP)-- Skinny Al Hudson was too busy setting dash records to bother about high school football. but home town fans overlooked that today because 1t was his cinder track speed which gave Miami a last second, B to 6 victory over Holy Gross in the New Years Day Orance Bowl game.
 Hope of victory was all but gone and the madiy partisan throng or 38,O0O fans was willing to settle for a 6-all tie when Eugene De F1llippo of Holy Cross tried a desperation pass. Hudson and James Dieckel- man of Holy Cross made simulta- neous jump for it, but the Florida youngster was faster and he inter- cepted the bah on his own 2l-yard line and began to run. Ahead of him was almost the entire Holy Cross team and he was too far ift front of his interference to expect any help. He didn't need any.
 In track pants, Hudson could run 100 yards in less than 10 sec- onds, but in full gridiron gear he probably never went 80 yards any faster. He outstreaked every player on the field and fell exhausted bes hind the goal line with the wtn~ ming touchdown for Miami.
 Hudson, a 2l-year-old 160-pound sophomore, wasn't the only star by any means. His team mate, Har- ry Ghaul, playing as if to avenge suggestions that he had spoiled his amateur standing because of a charity appearance with the pro- fessional Pittsburgh Steelers, had kept Miami in the game up to that time. He sparked the drive which resulted in the other Miami touch- down scored by Joe Krull, although his failure to kick the extra point and his miss cn a field goal att tempt had prevented the South erners from going ahead.
 Big Stan KcslowSki provided the Holy Cross touchdown on 22-yard second period pass to Walter Bren- nan, less than two minutes after Miami had opened the scoring. Like Ghaul, Koslowski failed to make his extra point attempt. Miami n2l (aA NEaAvx rnnna

.Wilby Routed By Engineers
 In Rough Tilt

Forty personal fouls, 2l against the winners, were called by Referee Ray Richards of New Haven last night ct the WIlby gym as 400 fans were treated to one of the toughest nigh school games in years which saw Bill Tracy'S Leavenworth five routing Tom Purcell's Wilby quin- tet, 47 to 06, though the fray was much more lopsided than the score indicates.
 The victory was Leavenworth's first of the season, netting them five more points toward the Al Nellie Memorial Trophy. Right now they have 25 points toward that award, l6 more than their nearest competitor, Crosby.
 Three To Showers
 The first period ended with the Tech Engineers in front, II to 6. They increased their margin in the next canto adding l3 points while the hapleSs Wildcats could not even sink foul try. Wilby trailed 33-l9 as the last quarter started and in these eight minutes Bernie Sherwill, Jim- my Piersall and Don Belanger were sent to the showers via personals.
 Piersall, with seven baskets and Santatgotta and Cocchiola with Il points each, paced the Tech attack
 Leavenworth took 47 shots for 20 baskets but converted only seven of 25 attempts from the foul line. Wilby fired at the rim on Sl occasions for nine hoops and make eight of 19 free throws.
 Leavenworth reserves defeated the wilby seconds, 20.l6 in the prelim- mary. The score:

punching Morris Ref ct the Gar den Friday night Only Q lucky left hook could put Jack on the rug but then, too, Ref isn't ex- acEly champ cf those in ct iS7.
 Red Cochrane holds the title. which hen risk against Marty Servo. But that winner has the dubious pleasure of facing q Har- lem dandy known as Sugar Ray Robinson. 10 say the honor is dubious is to put it lightly, Sugar Ray being one of the greatest ale around battlers ever to step into a ring.
 Beau or anybody else in sight has about as much chance of keep ing the welter title from Sugar Ray as you have of picking the daily double every day of the Santa Anita meeting.
 So you can see how much that nine pounds, now sllmmed down to six, is worrying Hercules Wergeles, the former football publicity man who finally learned the Giants didn't use a collateral pass, It might we'll be the end of little Beau's box office days if he ever was trapped inside the posts with Sugar Ray of the Harlem Robin sons.
 And Chick knows it. About as high as Q low hurdle, the mite of manager with the grating voice learned his way around before coming of the old East Side. Wants Needle at 1S5
 we aint's afraid of anybody" he asserts with the typical bravado of your fight manager. we've al- ways fought them all as they came and never asked any questions. As to the important question of what Jack will weigh come Friday night, Chick chatters that he hasn't been weighed lately. Then, out of the side of his mouth, he admits his man scales Al. So, you see, Wergeles is risking his standing in the fight managers guilt by pray ing that the Beau will be able to get down to l35 again.
 He doesn't like to think of last Winter when Beau was in service and the best he had to do was a basketball publicity stint.
 Prize fighters" Chick moaneo disgustedly at that time. You're always writing about prize fighters Why don't you write something about the basketball players once in a while"
 Now the theme goes the othel way, with basketball players or Chicks private pan.
 So you see, its all in the point of view. And the sight that Chick visions is Beau on a scale - witt the needle at 135.

LESS DEFENSE
 STRESS LIKELY NEXT CAMP AIGN
By CORNELIUS RYAN United rress Sports Writer

Renewed emphasis on scoring with less and less attention to dee fense appeared to be in the oftine for l946 football fans today # the results of the New Years Day bowl games can be used as Q measuring stick.
 Throughout the West and South. land where Q record array of lS games was offered for holiday fans, there was a parade of cleated feet to the goal lines, and 1t appeared to be significant that only two teams among the 26 antagonists failed to score a touchdown.
 The top team performance was at Pasadena, Cal, where Alabama'S Crimson Tloe engulfed Southern California, 34 10 l4, handing the Trojans their first defeat in nine Rose Bowl appearances. More than 9S,000 fans saw the Pacific Coast eleven go down to defeat. The Tro- janS were able to score only in the fourth period after most of Ala bama's first Strlngers had been re- moved.

 By far the most individual per- formanee was at Dallas, Tex, where home townel Bobby Layne thrilled 46,O00 Cotton Bowl fans by ace counting for every one of the points the Texas Lon5horns scored in . 40 to 27 victory over Missouri, Layne made four touchdowns, threw two touchdown passes, kicked four out of five extra points that he attempted and completed II out of l2 passes, nine in d row.
 The most thrilling game was re- served for tho 38,000 Orange Bowl fans at Miami Fla, who saw an- other home town youth, Al. Hud- son, intercept Holy Cross pass in the last 10 seconds and run sS yards for the touchdown that gave Miami University Q 13 to 6 vic- tory.
 Two all-America backs enlivened the scene at New Orleans in the Sugar Bowl where 7S,O00 fans watched Bob Fenimore and his Oklahoma A. & M. team mates win a B to IS decision over game but outmanned St. Mary'S, led by Hawaiian Herman WedemeyOr. Fen imore made two touchdowns and scored & third himself while Wede- meyer, whose supporting cast wasn't as powerful foreward passed for one St Mary's touchdown and lateraled to guard Carl De Salvo for the other
