Dudley Best Ball Carrier

New York, Dec. 7.--CSPEC1ALD-- Bfll Dudley. Pittsbugh's versatile aalfback, left his imprint on the in- dividuai standings of the National Football League as the Steelers com nleted their schedule last Sunday.
 The smoky City ace, in statistics released today. is first in ball carry ina, punt returns and interceptions, tied for third in bunting, tied for fifth in kickoff returns and eleventh among the passerS. Although most clubs do not finish until next Sun- day, Dudley's leadership for inter- captions and punt returns seems un- aasailable.
 He is in danger, however, in ball carrying. Pat Harder of the Chicago Cardinals, moved ahead of Steve Van nuren into second place behind Dudley, but Harder also Is through for the year whereas the Philadel- nnia Eagle halfback still has one game to go. Although he dropped a notch in the rankings. Van Buren picked up IS yards on Dudley and if he can advance 93 yards against the Boston Tanks the title will be his for the second straight year.
 Other Leaders
 Pass receiving a! d scoring honors are ticketed for Jim Benton of Los Angeles and Ted Fritsch of Green Bay, respectively. For the second successive week. Fritsch did all the rackers' scoring. widening his lead to a points over the Cards Ward Cuff. Benton's dozen catches at the Polo Grounds gave him a total of 60. second in the league records only to the "A caught by Don Hutson in 1042.
 For the fourth successive week a new leader paces the paSsers Bob Waterfield of Los Angeles taking over from Sid Luckman on the basis of his brilliant performance against the Giants. Paul Christman of the Cards. dropped another notch to fourth as Boston's Paul Governali continued his steady advance on the leaders to move into third place.

BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. - tUF) - You can see right through this Glass Bowl business they're stag ing here today.
 Bates came down from New Eng land to engage the local Rockets in football frolic and. while the un- defeated Maine outfit hasn't got Blanchard and Davis 1t does have Blanchard and Blanchard.
 Yet. Toledo is a i3-point favorite to win the cut glass loving cup.
 The reason is that Toledo is kill- ing Bates with kindness. Wearing Opponents Out
 Bill CShotgun) Orwig, the Toledo coach who teaches blocks and tackles when he isn't gunning for pheasants and other local fauna, tipped the mitt in his welcoming address.
 Toledo U. is a co-ed college and we have arranged for some of the gals to take you Bates boys out and show you the town tonight" Orwig told the invaders. They'll keep you out real late"
 Filled with "die for dear old Rut- gers" spirit, the Bates boys declined and decided they'd catch some sleep on the eve of the game. But when they arrived at their hotel the rooms weren't ready and they drop ped 10 yards of their punts stand ing around waiting.
 They still have faith, however, that their Blanchards will pull them through. The foremost member of Bates Blanchard clan is Art, a husky halfback, and he gets plenty of support from Brother Lindy, 6 guard.
 Has AntidOte for Blanchards
 Orwig. who is accused of being one of the finest shots in these parts --once having shot a rabbit which was caught in a trap-thinks he has the antidote for the Blanch- ards. The former Michigan end formerly coached at a Toledo High School which, won the state cham pionship. You only could appreciate that after seeing the size of some of these scholastic kids. But any how, Orwig has practically the en- tire high school team, with which he won the Buckeye bauble, now representing Toledo.
 Shotgun Bill even went back to his alma mater to get aid in win- ming this shatterproof spectacle. Toledo had uniforms of white, which, coincidentally, are the colors of the Bates regular uniforms. So with the Toledo school colors being blue and gold-as are those of Michigan-Orwig dashed up to Ann Arbor and borrowed the Michigan uniforms.
 T hope there are a few more touchdowns up those sleeves" he smiled.
 Other Festivities
 The Glass Bowl, which goes to the winner, is a hand blown affair which weights 25 pounds, originally there were 24 miniature replicas of the big one. The shelf broke. Now there is only the big one left.
 Features of the game ceremonies include the crowning of a queen, a dip by a blimp which will release blue and gold balloons, flight over the stadium by 24 massed planes and the bursting of bombs to an- nounce game time. Another will be the presentation of an ls-pound lobster, billed as the worlds largest. to Coy. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio

By YIN MALONEY

Berlin, Dec. T-- Coach Edward "Ebby" Conlan's Sacred Heart High basketball quintet of Waterbury sparked by the brilliant perform anceS of Bobby Oliver. Bob Marko- vic and Les Beland scored a de- eisive 38-2l triumph over Berlin Highs eagers at the Berlin gym last night before an enthusiastic turnout. This is the first victory in two starts for the Hearts who were defeated by Watertown last Friday night.
 Small Court
 Despite the fact that the Water. burians held the lead throughout the game the Brass City quintet found it very difficult to operate in the regular fast-breaking fashion in Berlins two by four" basket ball court. At the end Of the first quarter the Hearts led, 8 to 1, while at the halftime the Heart margin was cut to four points as they held l3-9 advantage. Oliver and Billy Mulhall paced the Waterburian offensive drive during the first half while Beland and Doc Quinn ex- celled on the defense for the win- ners.
 Big Lead
 In the third quarter the Hearts dropped in l3 points against 6 for Berlin to hold decisive 26-l5 mar gin going into the final stanza. Markovic, the freshman wonder of last season, Sparked the Waterburi- ans offense during this frame, while Ray Tinsley paced the losers.
 The Sacred Heart aggregation really put on the pressure in the final frame as they tallied i2 more points to emerge victorious, by a score of 38-2l.
 Tn the final period Bobby Marko- vic was benched because of five fouls while diminutive Oeorgie Gull foile entered the game and put on a creditable performance. Joe Cor man played a brilliant offensive and defensive game for the Hearts. Chet vigra, Tinsley. Charley Bac- caro and Joe Soraka excelled for the losers.
 Tn the preliminary contest the Sacred Heart Jayvees routed the Berlin Junior Varsity, 3e to 2, as O'Neill, Sullivan, Callahan, Paul and Cavanaugh dropped in 9 points between them. Luddy was high man for the losers with three points. The summary:
