East's Hardest ToiIinq
Back Is Army's Davis
by the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Glenn
Davis, Army's All-America half
back, not only is the biggest yardage
gamer, but also Is the hardest
working back in the East.
Figures released today by the
National Collegiate Athletic Bu-
reau show that Davis has taken
part in 102 plays and has gained
718 yards, far more than any
rival. OF these IA were rushing
plays which resulted In 468 yards
gained by the California comet.
Runnerup to Davis in yardage is
ice Rogers of Villanova, who took
part in "A plays, good for $50 yards.
But Rogers leads Davis in yardage
gained via rushing-with $40 yards
in 66 plunges.
John McCrane, Kings Point
Academy quarterback, has COM
pleted the most passes, 80 in 101
attempts for 404 yards. Carl Lei
bert of Princeton, however, has ac-
counted for the most yardage via
passes, 464 in 81 completions Of
81 attempts.
Jack Roderick, sure-fingered Yale
END. has caught the most passes,
16 for 241 yards gained. Only four
others have caught as many as 10
passes.
In the East only two players with
Is or more punts to their credit
have averaged 40 yards or better.
These are Charles Loiacano of
Lafayette, with 42.9 average on
81 punts, and Tom Capozotti. N

Biq Nine Team 10 Play
In Rose Bowl Jan. |,
Purdue Vote Hints
.AP Wirephoto.
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO. Oct. 29.-The West
ern Conference appeared to be
ready today to send representa-
tive to the Rose Bowl for the first
time in 26 years.
Purdues Faculty Committee has
joined with Michigan, Indiana,
Iowa and Ohio State in signifying
approval of a five-year proposal
which would give the Big Nine
champion, or alternate, the Pasa-
dena trip for three successive years
and teams designated by the Con-
ference Rose Bowl representation
the final two years.
Two Schools Yet to Vote.
Spokesman of the five schools
have unofficially reported accept
ance, thus indicating a 5-4
majority to carry the proposal
which was put up for ballot vote
among the nine conference menl-
bers. Illinois and Minnesota were
reported to disfavor the hookup
with the Pacific Coast Conference,
while Northwestern and Wisconsin
have yet to ballot on the matter.
The results of the poll, however,
will not become official until the
December IA meeting of the Big
Nine, Commissioner K. L. Wilson
said. The Pacific Coast winter
meeting Is scheduled December 8.
IF the proposal is officially car
ried there still will be a number
of details to work out" Wilson said.
The Pacific Coast Conference does
not name its bowl selections until
some time after the regular season,
which ends December 1. There may
be such rush of detail that it
would be impossible to be repre-
sented in the 1947 Rose Bowl If
the conference approves.
Coast Loop Favors Plan.
The agreement. however, has
been thoroughly discussed and un-
officially the Coast Conference has
been reported unanimously to sup
port it. Most observers believed
that there would be ample time to
clear the way for the Big Nine
champion to play this New Year
Day.
Ohio State was the last Western
Conference team to play in the
Rose Bowl, taking a 21-0 beating
by California in 1921. Michigan,s
1902 team, which crushed STAN
ford, 4s-o, in the inaugural Rose
Bowl contest was the only other
Western Conference appearance.

SteeIer Game Sunday Looms
AS THE ONE Skins Must Win
By Lewis F. Atchison

Pass interceptions set up their first
three scores and the third touch
down was gift, coming on tumble
that bounded into the end zone
where Ted Lapka recovered it.
Edwards probably will give Indian
Jack Jacobs chance to run the ball
this week and the Oklahoman has
1t coming to him. It might be a
good move, too, to use Dick Todd
more on offense and If doubling up
on defense is too much for 'Li1
Ole Boy" it might be best to use
him. exclusively as a runner. Right
now Todd is the most dangerous
threat in the Tribe backheld.
Jenkins Will Be Ready.
Jacque Jenkins will be ready for
the Pittsburgh game and, as mat
ter of fact, could have been used
in the second half last Sunday.
Edwards, however, was told the full
back would be available next Sun
day and presumed that he was
through for the rest of the Phila-
delphia game. If Bob De Fruiter
is back his speed will be useful in
mixing up the offense.
The next two weeks are crucial
ones in National League play, what
with the Eagles and Giants meet
ing on consecutive Sundays. The
schedule favors the Skins and most
coaches agree the Eastern winner
can lose as many as three games,
but the tribe can't afford to have
any more relapses like last Sundays.

Record Grid Gate Sure
In Southwest Loop
By the Associoted Press

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 29.-The
Southwest Conference should reg
lister over three-quarters of million
paid admissions for its home foot
ball games this season. Already
pushing toward the half-million
mark and with Is games to go, the
conference is certain to break all
attendance records.
A contributing factor has been all
good weather for its games, but the
major reasons have been stronger
teams and general interest upturn
with plenty of money and a uni
versal spending mood.
Despite the fact that each school
raised its prices, 19 home games
this season have drawn 442 ,132-an
average of more than $4,000. For
the same period last year "a games
drew 274 4499-an average of II 1,437.
The only school that has failed
to show a gain this season is Texas
Christian and it Is not far behind
1945. Texas is better than 100 per
cent ahead of last year.

6. u. Rated Fayorite
Over 6. W., Loser in
First Real Test

The early season hesitation on the
part of the local football forecasters
to predict the winner Of Saturdays
Georgetown-G Gorge Washington
game was relieved somewhat over
the past week end when the turn OF
events established g. U. in famil-
lar role of favorite.
George Washington has not won
a game IN the 15-game series that
dates back to 1890 and was renewed
last in 1912 when the Hoyas won,
21-0, and seldom have the Colonials
been conceded an even chance. Their
last hope of favoritism this year
was blasted by the 25-13 defeat at
the hands Of Rutgers last Saturday.
G. w. had run over minor opposi-
ton in its first three games, but lost
to its first top flight opponent when
the weakness. bemoaned by Coach
Skip Stanley all season-a lack OF
breakaway backs-caught up with
the Colonials. Rutgers had the fast
men-G. w. didn't.
Hoyas Have Improved.
Georgetown has been a Jekyl-and-
Hyde team to date. The Hoyas
looked good in defeat at the hands
of Wake Forest and came back to
beat Fordham. They hit slump
against Villanova and lost and
looked bad against st. Louis for the
first half Sunday before they
bounced back with a drive that ac-
counted for a deserved triumph.
Both the Colonials and Hoyas are
playing their first season of football
since 1912. G.. w. has a new coach
in Stanley, G. U. its same coach,
but Jack Fagerty has installed the
T-formation and its intricacies still
battle his young club. Both teams
are manned mostly by freshmen.
This is the ball game that is sup
posed to make or break the season
for both schools-and, although, that
angle to the rivalry may be some
what overworked because G. W..
never has won a game tthey tied,
90, in 1907 1t is the biggest game
of the season in both camps.
Homecoming Game for G. u.
Light work was in prospect for
both squads today as too many key
men are bothered with injuries to
get in much contact work. OF the
four Colonials nursing the more
serious hurts-Paul Weber, Pat Ben
nett, Ray Truck and Joe Robie--
every one but Robie Is conceded a
chance of playing.
The ticket sale has been encourag-
ing to date, particularly at George
town where the Hoyas will observe
homecoming week end. This is the
last home game for the Hoyas and
George Washington will play only
William and Mary at home after
Saturday.

'Bama Game Acid Test
For Unbeaten Georgia
By the Assoeioted Press

ATHENS, Ga, Oct. 29-Georgia,
one of the half dozen major elevens
still carrying a perfect record, gets
the old acid test here Saturday
against Alabama's once-beaten
Crimson Tide in one of the days top
football battles.
Each of the rival coaches, the
closest of personal friends except on
the day of this traditional struggle,
admittedly fears the offensive might
of the others team-and with good
reason.
Neither has what can be classed
as an outstanding line. but each has
passing attack as deadly as the
Southeastern Conference has seen in
it's 14-year history. The game, 31st
in colorful series dating back to
1895, is the turning point for both.
A victory for Coach Wally Butts
Georgia crew would leave only
Georgia Tech as a formidable op-
ponent in the seasons finale, while
triumph for Alabama would throw
Coach Frank Thomas Rose Bowl
champions right back into the thick
of the conference and national pic
ture. The Tide has been stopped
only by Tennessee.

CorneII-CoIumbia TiIf
Looms as Keenest
Traditional Tiff
By Murray Rose
Associated Pres. Sports wri.et

Associated Press Sports WrIfeS
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Eastern
football spotlight moves from Army
to the Ivy League this week as tha
Cadets take on weak West Virginia
eleven and the conference rivals
engage in three circuit clashes.
Army's all-conquering Black
Knights are looking past the
twice-beaten Mountaineers to their
November 8 battle of the century
with Notre Dame at Yankee Sta
dunn. At the same time, the I'm.
beaten and united Irish aren't ex-
pecting too much trouble from the
four times thumped Navy team at
Baltimore Saturday.
The closest of the trio of Ivy tits
should be the Cornell Columbia COL
lision at New York's Baker Field.
Dartmouth journeys to Yale and
Princeton to Pennsylvania in the
other circuit contests. Harvard and
Brown move out of the league to
face a couple of rugged foes in
Rutgers and Holy Cross, respectively.
Lions Face Improved Cornell.
Cornell, beaten only by Army and
tied by Yale, has come a long way.
Ed McKeever has the Big Red
hustling and it may surprise Lou
Little's Lions, who probably win be
14-point favorites. Both clubs are
unbeaten in Ivy competition. Cor
nells 14-7 triumph over Princeton
Saturday made its record one win
and tie. Columbia's 1913 wallop-
ing of Dartmouth was the light
Lions second Ivy win in as many
games. Cornell's season record Is
Bill while Columbia, also a men,
Der of the "I-was-beaten- -only-by-
Army" club, has a Al slate.
Powerful Pennsylvania should be
four touchdowns too much for
Princeton. The ponderous Pennsyl-
vanians have steamrollered all Of
their four opponents thus far, in
cluding one Ivy League rival in
Dartmouth. Princeton has a "a
seasons record and a IL Ivy slate.
Dartmouth and Yale may put
on better brawl than their rec
ords would indicate. For one thing
the game is in the Yale Bowl and
the two schools have staged some
historic duels there. The Indians
figure to rebound from their CO.
lumbia licking and may catch the
Ellis down from their 47-14 breeze
over Coast Guard.
Dartmouth's Ivy Record Poor.
Yale has q 3-1-1 season and an
Oil Ivy record. Dartmouth, after
winning nonconference openers
over Holy Cross and Syracuse, has
dropped three successive league
games to Penn, Brown and Co.
lumbia.
Other Eastern games on the card
include Miami U. of Florida at
Villanova FRIDAY night, Fordham
at Penn State, Temple at Syracuse,
Boston College at New York o.,
Colgate at Lafayette, Coast Guard
at Connecticut, all-winning Della
ware at Franklin and Marshall,
Gettysburg at Bucknell, Washing
ton and Jefferson at Carnegie Tech,
Muhlenberg, another unbeaten and
united eleven, at Lehigh; Waynes-
burg at Niagara, Rhode Island at
Boston U. and George Washington
at Georgetown.

Thoroughly chastened and still
somewhat dazed by their loss to
Philadelphia, the Redskins today
set about reorganizing for Sum
days visit to Pittsburgh. Instead
Of being merely another game on
the schedule this one now is the
one to win. A victory would put
the Tribe back in the race, but an
other setback would just about put
the frost on its title hopes.
The attitude in the wigwam was
good. Nobody was happy about
losing, but neither was anybody
ready to toss in the towel.
Moaning about that one is like
going to wake" somebody
cracked. You can cry to your
hearts content. but there's no flu
ture in 1t. We've got to forget it
and start figuring how to win the
rest of 'em, beginning with this one
coming up Sunday"
Most consoling was the remem-
brance that the same thing hap
pened to the Eagles last year, just
when they were reaching for the
Eastern crown. They held a 21-0
lead over the Giants going into
the final half, but New York scored
three touchdowns iE eight minutes
and added another in the final
quarter to win the game. And three
weeks before the same Eagles wal
loped the Giants, 38-l7.
Rams Pulled Similar Stunt.
The champion Rams pulled
similar stunt against Green Bay,
rushing over three touchdowns in
the final period to wipe out 1916
deficit and win by a 27-14 count
The following week Green Bay
piled up Al points in the second
period and massacred Detroit,
57-21.
But q recitation Of ancient his
tory can't lessen the bitter taste of
Sundays debacle. The Skins had
a $40 lead and let is slip through
their fingers. If the Eagles had led
from the start and won by twice
% it wouldn't have been nearly as
painful.
Coach Turk Edwards has good
reason to be apprehensive about
this return engagement with Jock
Sutherland's Steelers. Pittsburgh
marred Washington's debut this
season by coming from behind to
score two touchdowns in the final
period and tie the Tribe, 14-14.
Pittsburgh looked almost as bad as
Philadelphia in the first half.
although no pro team probably will
seem quite as feeble as the Eagles
in that first half. When the
Steelers came to life they got as hot
as poker.
Patterns Strikingly Alike.
Curiously, the game patterns
were strikingly alike, If you remem-
ber. In the Pittsburgh game Val
Jansante got behind Wilbur Moore
to take touchdown pass and Sal
Rosato's tumble deep in Washing
ton territory recovered by George
Titus set up the second Steeler
score. A repetition of that would
be as distastefuf and as disastrous
as last Sundays play.
The Redskins plotted the weeks
strategy at meeting last night
and some changes are certain to be
made. What seems to be overlooked
is that the Redskins displayed no
real offense against Philadelphia.

Baseball Draft Dying
Slow Death Because
OF Farm System
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-It is be-
coming more apparent each year
that baseballs annual selection,
more popularity known among the
fans as the draft, Is dying slow
death due to the growth Of the farm
system. ,-...
With the chain system now In
vogue, nearly all of the good pros
poets in the minors belong to major
league teams, and usually they are
draftproof. Before the seasons
close, the parent clubs purchase
the contracts of their minor league
hirelings, and Of course when the
annual draft meeting is held most
of the players left for selection are
those least in demand.
5000 Players Eligible.
In the lengthy list recently SUBJ
mitted to big league club owners by
Commissioner A. B. Chandler, there
are some 5000 eligibles for the Fri
day, November i, draft selection
largest in years-but it is difficult
even for experienced judges of talent
to find half a dozen likely prospects.
The list includes Leroy Parmelee,
John Hutchings, Johnny Riddle,
Hugh Poland. Bud Metheny, Fred
Farmhouse, Tom Sunkel, Pete Gray,
Mike Garbark. Luke Hamlin, Jimmy
Bucher, Alex Kampouris, Ray Har-
rell, Cy Buker, chet Kern, Don Lund,
Les Burge, Garland Lawing, Bob
wilkins, Steve Peek and Johnny
Moore.
Some of the more opulent clubs
have declined to bid for any players.
Last year 10 players were chosen. OF
these, only two. Gene Handley of the
Philadelphia Athletics and Mike
Budnick of the New York Giants,
lasted out the season.
In 1945, 81 players were selected
and all were returned to the minors,
although three, Vance Dinges, Leroy
Jarvis and Howard Moss. returned
for another trial That is in sharp
contrast to other years when such
draft gems as Grover (Pete) Alex
ander, Hack Wilson, Lefty ODoul,
Pinky Whitney, Curt and Virgil
Davis, Red Lucas, Sam Gray, Hal
Carlson and others were plucked
from obscurity.
Alex Biggest Bargain.
Probably the biggest draft bargain
of them all was Alexander. Picked
by the Phillies off the Syracuse Club
late in 1910, Alex began to pay of
Immediately. He won % games in
1911, a rookie pitching record which
still stands.
In '27, the Phils took young third
baseman from New Orleans named
Art Whitney, who became one of the
finest infielders ever to wear a Phil
aldelphia uniform. The same year,
the Giants came up with Lefty
O'Doul, who twice led the National
League in batting. The year before,
the Chicago Cubs obtained chubby,
broad -shouldered kid named Lew
Wilson from Toledo for the $500
waiver price. A few years later,
Wilson set a National League home
run record of Sc.
