Army Pilot During War.
Red was an Army pilot during the
war, flying transport planes over
the Hump on the India Burma

slider him a regular Joe with a lot

ability. He was an All-Southern
selection in 1941 and ~, and Bos-
ton College picked him as the best
player 1t faced all season and the
Eagles met some pretty good ones.
The flaming redhead is one of the
best collegiate kickers you'll see this
season. He averaged As yards last
week and can boot for distance or
angle the ball out in the coffin cor

Final Showdown Neal
lin Kentucky Stars S
Eligibility Dispute
By the Asseeioted Pres.

LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. 3.-Just
about the hottest eligibility fuss in
Southeastern Conference football
history, involving Kentuckys star
halfback, Ermal Allen, boiled to-
ward a final showdown today as the
school stood pat on decision to
reject the latest S. E. C. Executive
Committee ruling.
Allen is a graduate student, but
he played only three years of foot
ball at Kentucky before the war
Interrupted his studies. The uni
versity says he is eligible under the
wartime rule, still prevailing. which
permits four years Of varsity play in
the conference.
Conference Commissioner Mike
Conner first overruled Kentucky s
certification of eligibility on the
Morristown, Tenn, triple threat,
setting out that the rules intent
was to permit freshman participa-
ton in sports.
With only three regular members
qualified to vote, the conference
Executive Committee overruled Con-
ner, 2 to /, but the regulation re-
quiring a five-man quorum bobbed
up and S. E. c. President j. ]. Tigert
appointed two "disinterested" sub
stitutes. The result was another
reversal.
Informed of the latest decision
yesterday, Kentucky officials tossed
the matter back to Tigert, claiming
the committee was improperly con-
stituted and therefore powerless to
act.
Topping it all. Kentucky Coach
Paul. GBeaD Bryant asserted he
would use Allen in his lineup as long
as school officials said he was
eligible.

Head Coach Skip Stanley will take
"a squad of 35 players and two or
three positions on the starting team

Mariners, coached by EXC. w.

hart, and figures it is an even game.
The Kings Point eleven will have
a decided advantage with three
games under it's belt against good
competition-Lehigh,, Villanova and
Yale. Although the Marines have
lost all three, the Lehigh game was
decided on a break and the other
two were a little out of Kings

BOSTON, Oct. 3.-It's a good
thing that j had to go to Fenway
Park yesterday to have my achin'
elbow treated. For there were a
couple of visitors in our club house
whom I wouldn't want to miss.
First there was Hank Greenberg,
the guy who beat me out OF the
home run and runs-batted-ln
championships with the aid of a bat
I gave him. He broke that lease
lend bat of mine the day he tied
me for homers. He cracked out II
with my bat before he cracked 1t.
So Hank came in and offered me
one of his own bats, on top OF one
that he had sent me earlier. II wish
I hadn't busted the bat you gave
me-" Hank said, because it would
have been a pleasure to give it back
to you and have you beat the brains
out of the National Leaguers with
it. But. if you need lucky bat,
you can have the one that I used to
windup the season and the one
which won the homer and RB1
title. Personally, l think you're
going to have a great series with
your own bats. You've got good
wood in 'em."

heavier than Vic Tlryn's eleven that
is expected to start against the
Spiders. Coach Clark Shaughnessy
insists he does not have what he
calls a first team. The Maryland
squad is that deep.
The Richmond team has given up
only one touchdown in two games,
that to v. M. I. last week when the
Spiders were tied, TT. Co-captains
Francis Laurinatis and Houston Siz-
er, at center and right end, are the
standouts of the Spider forwards.
Richmond, like Maryland, is on
the upgrade in Southern Conference
football and the once weak Spiders
should give Maryland q good argu-
ment at least. Maryland is no more
than a touchdown favorite over
the team it defeated last year, 21-0,
Richmond has a brother act in
Coach Johnny and kid brother Pat
Fenlon. The latter usually starts,
but gives way to Timberlake after
the first few plays.
Shaughnessy will decide tonight
whether to start the Mont or Turyn
quartertacked elevens. The Terps

Hoyus Face Terror in Cochran,
SIushing Wake Forest Back
By Lewis F. Atchison

They say Red Cochran, the Wake

cons against Georgetown tomorrow
night at Grifith Stadium, is one Of
the finest football players to hit
town since Cliff Battles led West
Virginia Wesleyan to a stunning
triumph over the same Hoyas on
the same gridiron some IS years
ago. They-the critics-say Coch-
ran Is better than Battles, which,
If true, means Red is at least an
all-America.
Cochran is a natural athlete
Dress him up in any kind of ath-
letic uniform and he'll instinctively
give a good account of himself,
although football and baseball are
his best sports. He's an outfielder
in baseball, and II all the kind
things said about him are true you
can have Ted Williams and Wake
Forest will take vanilla. Red Is
supposed to have batting eye that
can count the stitches on Bob
Feler's fast ball and owns a whip

around last week against Boston
College when he completed six of
