College Aces 10 Race
Here This Week End
In Sailing Regatta

The greatest collection of inter-
collegiate sailing talent ever seen
on the Potomac will gather here
Saturday for the first Potomac FROST
bite regatta sponsored by Maryland,
Georgetown and George Washington
Universities.
The show was considered import
ant enough for the intercollegiate
Yacht Racing Association to give its
sanction. 1t will run for two days
and will be staged of Corinthian
Yacht Club.
The local schools listed these COL
leges as possible starters: NIT.
Boston College, Yale, Brown,
Harvard and Princeton. And, of
course, the three Washington area
institutions will send in their best
helmsmen.
All hands will race in George
Washington's new 12-foot Tempest
class dinghies.
| Among the visiting sailors these
were listed Is probable starters
Jack Blodgett, winner Of the Mac
MILAN Cup, top intercollegiate prize;
Charlie nj, who captained Brown
University in the winning Of the
Schel Trophy, another coveted COL
legiate prize; Robert Coulson, 1947
national dinghy champ, and Tom
Hanna, Snipe class champion of the
Great Lakes and Atlantic Coast.
Maryland may produce some sur
prises, although George Washington
is the favored local team. Maryland
has such racing talent as the Hartge
brothers from West River. young
Sigurd Herslof from Oxford, Md,
and Charley Nelms Of Norfolk.
Racing begins Saturday around
noon and Sunday at 8 am.

you that good blocking and good

has been as good on defense Is

Sam Goldman is q big, rough end
who made Pittsburgh quit trying
to 60 around him. On one play
he bowled over two blockers to
bring down Walt Slater. Larry
Craig plays the same smashing
game and Is especially good in a
f1ve-man line. Carroll Vogelaar
is powerful, but not type like
Davis. He's merely hard to move
out Of his own territory on
defense, which is all you can ask.
Riley Matheson Is the foxy type
who constantly outsmarts the
opposing quarterback. He's not
the kind to stop a touchdown
plunge or a drive for first down,
but on overall play we haven't
seen q guard who compares with
him.
Bill Blackburn Is 4. rangy
center who excels on intercepting
short passes and is a sure tackler.
He knows how to plug holes in
the line and takes more punish
ment than . tackling dummy.
He'd look nice on any team.

Is Niiers 10 Defend
Swedish Honors in
Winter 0Iympics
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

STOCKHOLM, Dec. l.-Twenty-
five skiiers, backed by five leaders,
will make a strong bid to defend
Sweden's winter sport honors in
the Olympic Games at st. Moritz
January 3o-February 8.
In the st. Moritz pre-Olympics
Martin Lundstrom won the 18-
kilometer cross country race, An
ders Tornqvist took the so kilomet-
ers, May Nilsson was placed first in
the women's SALON race and Sven
Israelsson won the Nordic COM
bination.
In the annual Holmenkollen COM
petitions Nils Karlsson, uncrowned
king among Swedish skiiers, was the
first foreigner even to win both the
Is and so kilometer races. Israels-
son and Miss Nilsson duplicated
their st. Moritz achievements by
winning the Nordic combination
and the slalom race, respectively.
The preparations Of the Skiing
Association for the Olympics go
back as far as 1887. Since that year
annual Olympic subventions-
amounting to total of about $5o,-
000-have been used to prepare for
Sweden's participation in the next
Olympics.
Miss Nilsson secured one of the
best trainers in the world when she
married the former French world
champion, Maurice Laforgue. Un-
der his critical eyes she and her
brother AXE are presenting doing
their training at Luchon in the
Pyrenees.
The rest of Sweden's slalom and
downhin performers training at Are
in the Gamtland Highlands are less
lucky. The scarce snow did not
give them any chance to fly down
the mountain slopes before the be-
ginning Of December. They have
had to compensate the lack of ski
training by building up their STAN

months workout and competitions
in Switzerland they will have
caught up with the central Euro

Spice Intercity Feud 7oniqht

Washington Baltimore feuding will
be renewed tonight as the Capitols
and the Bullets, bolstered by new
corners, clash in an outstanding
Basket Ball Association of America
game in Baltimore.
Sid (Sonny) Hertzberg, one of the
greatest court stars turned out at
City College Of New York, will Join
the Caps for the tussle, while John
(Brooms) Abramovic, former Salem
(W. Va) College ace, will make his
debut with the Bullets.
Hertzberg. 26. and e-foot, 1so-
FOUNDER, was a free agent before
signing last night with the Caps.
He was the New York Knickerbock-
ers' leading scorer with SIS points
last season and is considered one of
the best defensive men and set shot
artists in pro basket ball.
Abramovic, who represented the
now dismantled Pittsburgh Ironmen
last year, registered 2.16l points in
SO games over a four-year span at
Salem and was the Nations top
scorer in 1923 when he made TIT
points In rs games.
The Caps, trailing in the Western
division race with four victories in
II games, will be rested and at full
strength for the counter with the
pace-setting Bullets, who have won
9 out of II games. The Bullets lost
to the Caps in the league opener,

Michigan S Far West
Alumni Favored in
Bowl Ticket Draw
BY the Asseeietsd Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. H.
Fritz Crisler's unbeaten football
specialists staged their first re-
hearsal yesterday for the 194S Rose
Bowl show, but the event was over
shadowed by formal, but quiet
affair in the University of Michigan
ticket Office.
While the Wolverines started the
trek back to regular season form
a handful of university and alumni
representatives and newsmen and
photographers gathered for the
drawing that will determine the
lucky recipients of Michigan's allot-
ment of tickets for the battle
against Southern California.
The drawings were made by Jo-
seph c. Hooper, Ann Arbor, lawyer
and vice president of the National
q. Of M. Alumni Association, under
an intricate plan evolved by the uni
versity and the alumni group.
West Group Favored.
Inch-square cardboards. num-
bered to 100, were placed in a bowl
and go were chosen at random
Their order of draw and the cor
responding application number were
recorded for the purpose Of alloting
almost 60 per cent of Michigan's as
yet unknown allotment to alumni
west of the Rocky Mountains.
The number may be between 5000
and 10000
The drawing process was repeated
and 40 numbers were drawn to
establish the near 40 per cent for
members of the Michigan family
living east of the Rockies.
When Michigans allotment be-
comes known, sometime after Crisler
attends the two-day Western Con-
ference meeting beginning in Chi
cago today, tickets will be set aside
for Michigan students and faculty
members and the balance will be
divided on the basis of the 60-4O
ratio.
The first numbers drawn, In con-
tinued additions OF 100, in each
group, will be matched with the cor
responding application number and
the filers of those applications will
be mailed up to two Rose Bowl
tickets.
Holders Of 54s Lucky.
Thus, the first number drawn in
the West group, 81, was matched
with the application of Ray G. An
derson OF Eureka. Calf, who will
receive one or two tickets.
The first draw also insured a
ticket for applications 154, filed by
Paul I. Bauer of Los Angeles; No.
254, filed by Gladys M Book of Bev-
erly Hills, Calf, as well as No. 354,
454, etc.
All tickets, as well as refunds to

week and has been doing it all
season.
Dick Wildung, a tackle at Min
nesota, had the Cards licked al
most single-handedly. Until he
tired, Green Bay was on even
terms with them and he's a guard
who makes the off-tackle plays
work because he comes out and
knocks the end goofy leading the
interference. Preston, from what
this reporter has gathered around
the circuit, is the closest thing
to Danny Fcrtmann the N. F.. L.
has seen in years. XII Aldrich,
who has played against him
enough to know, says he couldn't
block him because he couldn't
find him. Preston knows how
and when to charge, when to
slide, when to back out and seems
to smell the plays coming.
Bulldog Turner is the kind
Of center a team needs to make
the T-formation click, now that
the opposition is putting a man
head-on against the pivot men.
He's strong and powerful, big
enough to hide the quarterback
and even If he's slowed down q
trifle he's still tops on offense.
You can't overlook Sammy
Baugh's passing this year, al
though some experts are doing
it. Steve Van Buren easily is
the best runring back the NFL
has had since Cliff Battles hey
day and Bill Dudley's selection
needs no apologies. He does
everything we'll and is a great
competitor. Harder is the line
plunging fullback every team
needs. F'ullbacks, though, aren't
very popular on all-star elevens
these days.
On defense you won't find any
backs surprising HOWE Living
ston and Johnny Cochran.
They're deadly tacklers, good
against passes ana come up hard
and fast to slam down any ball
carriers who escape the ends.
Dudley or Bob Waterfield fit
nicely in the safety position, al
though the Rams prefer not to
use Waterfield in this spot to
guard against unnecessary injury.
They handle punts well, tackle
and have a keen diagnosis OF
plays. They play the ball on
pass defense and usually spoil
the play.

backing up the line. He was an
outstanding blocking back and

"How's this for an all-National
Football League team?" we asked,
laying down our list on Turk

The entire Redskin coaching
staff, Edwards, Herman Ball,
Wayne Millner and Wilbur
Moore, crowded around, took a
long look, then chorused, "Uh

THE trouble with most Sc
lectors," we explained, Quieting
that outburst. "is that they're
ignoring the present trend in
football. What we've got to do
is choose offensive and defensive
teams, or pick them the way they
play every Sunday."
Turk scrutinlzed the black

engrossed in papers and books
strewn on the desk. Their inter-
est virtually was overwhelming.
