ROSE BOWL TEAMS
END HEAVY DRILLS

PASADENA, Dec. %. -P)-
Hard scrimmage is over for
Michigan's Wolverines in their
preparations for the Jan. l. Rose
Bowl meeting with Southern Cal
ifornia's Trojans.
The Wolverines put in about
Is minutes on offense and Is
on defense yesterday as they
wound up all rough stuff without
injury. Coach Fritz Crisler al
lowed a slight smile to hover on
his lips, but refused to bulge
from his gloomy views of last
week, which had the Michigans
worn to a frazzle by the heat
hereabouts.
At Santa Barbara, Trojan
coach Jeff Cravath continued to
drill his lads on defense mainly.
Reports indicate that the Tro-
JAMS have sawed the Michigan
running attack-although admit
tedly the Junior varsity has no
Jack Weisenburger or Jump
Elliott-but have had trouble
with Wolverine pass plays.
Both teams are expected to
hold nothing but light workouts
until entering the bowl Thurs
day.

IN TRACK EVENTS

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. %.
-(P)- Four records fell as big
Bill Hulse and Jerry Thompson,
the University Of Texas distance
mite, won feature events of the
annual Sugar Bowl track meet
today.
Hulse shaded Gerald Karver,
long -striding Penn State star. in
the 1,500-meter run in a near
photo finish. Thompson, uncork-
ing a blazing sprint in the last
200 yards, ran Curtis Stone, of
Penn State, into the ground in
the 3,000-meter romp.
Ross Nichols of Oklahoma A.
and M. defended his champion
ship in the 110-meter high hur-
dies and veteran Forest Efaw,
the former Oklahoma A. and M.
performer, came in first in the
30O-meter steeplechase.
The mile relay, featuring
crack teams from Oklahoma A.
and NJ, Texas A. and M. and
Louisiana State, was taken oy
the Sooner Aggies in record
time. However, the Texas Ag-
gies got the cheers of the crowd
as they came storming back to
capture second after the first
man, Bill Napier, dropped tn e
baton and lost Is yards.
A new record was posted in
the high hurdles with Nichols
racing in with a time of IA, a
tenth of a second under the
mark set in 1910 by Marsh
Farmer of Texas Tech.
Hulse, running under the bar
ner Of the New York Athletic
club, ripped off the 1900 meteps
in $3.50, which was So below
the record arch San Romani of
Kansas hung up in 1910.
The Oklahoma Aggie team of
Maurice Fuqua, A. j. Fritz,
John Voight and Dick Stople
turned in 1884 in the mile re-
lay-almost three seconds under
the 1922 set in 1888 by Loyola.
The meet today was looked
upon as a try-out for the Olyn1-
pics and the showings of
Nichols, Hulse and Thompson in

the Cardina' come through for
the crown destined for them un-
der the finance rebuilding
plan by the clubs late owner,
Charlie Bidwill, who died last
April of pneumonia before see
ing his ''dream team" in action.
The Eagles bid for their first
title in IA years of trying was
led by passer Tommy Thompson
who tossed So yards to Pat Nc
Hugh in the closing minutes of
the second quarter and set up the
other marks on long drives in the
third and fourth stanzas.
Thompson completely over
shadowed the Cards Paul Christ
man. Tommy set two league
|playoff records by attempting A
aerials and hitting on 27. The
former record of 33 tries and 1e
connections was set by Washing
tons Sammy Baugh against the
Chicago Bears, December 1887.
Thompson picked up 297 yards
through the air while Christmar
completing only three tosses out
of IA, contributed but 81 yards.
Licked in the air, the Cards
ground out 280 yards through anc
around Philadelphia's line while
holding the Eagles to a 60-yarc
gain. Stevie VanBuren, who SCI
a league ball-totin' record of 1905
yards during the regular cam
paign, was effectively corrallec
by the fast charging Cardina
forwards. He made only 26 yards
in 18 trips.
Angsman established another
playoff mark by seltzering tc
159 yards in 10 times with the
ball. The former record was 109
yards in 10 carries by the Bears
Bill Osmanski against Washing
ton in 1910.
The frozen gridiron afforded
such tough footing that the Card
inals wore tennis shoes through
out the game. The Eagles started
shod in regular gear but were
penalized five yards twice for il
legal use of equipment after they
were charged with filing their
cleats. They then pulled on tennis
shoes, keeping the coaching staff
and helpers on the sidelines busi-

been a "one-n1ght sensation e.,
in coming back from a long
hitch in the Navy and winning
four important fights during 1947
did more than any other man
"to improve the standing of the
SPORT
However, as balm to Walcott's
myriad supporters, Fleischer
gives the Camden veteran a set
OF Especial awards" First, he
has awarded Jersey Joe a medal
for san outstanding perfor-
NANCE" and second, he has
bracketed Walcott with Louis
in group l among the worlds
heavywelghts. All the others are
in group 2.
"Despite all the excitment over
the verdict to Louis over Wal
colt, despite the claiming OF the
| title by the Jerseyman, despite
the hooting of the crowd over
the decision, The Ring does not
rate the Louis-Walcott affair one
Of the really great battles of
1947," Fleischer declares.
His choice for flight of the
year" was the second Tony Zale-
Rocky Graziano middleweight
championship scrap in Chicago.
For Ground of the year" Fleis'
cher chose the fourth between
Louis and Walcott, in which the
challenger sat Louis down for a
count of seven.
For the first time in the history
of boxing, Fleisher points out,
the worlds top three heavy
weights all are Negroes, with
Elmer Ray of Min eapolis gain
ing the third spot behind Louis
and Walcott. The Rings historian
comments that cit makes it
look as if we might be in for a
new white hope festival"
Of all the worlds champions,
Fleischer rates only two as be-
ing sufficiently outstanding to
occupy "group T. in his rankings
all by themselves. They are
Ray Robinson, king of the well
terweights, and Willie Pep, head
of the feathers.
In explanation of his ranking of
Rocky Graziano No. l under the
middleweights, Fleischer said
that "even though he still is
under suspension in New York
x x x Graziano won that rating
in the Ring and he cannot be
deprived of that honor Or his
title"
The Ring lists Rinty Monaghan
of Ireland as world flyweight
champion and Dado Marino of
II dW Oil dS 4sO. q dlllOIlS tl1S liz
Founders, ignoring Jackie Pater-
son Of Scotland, who is recogniz-
ed as world champion by the
British Boxing Board of Con-
troll.
Fleischer has cerated a new
award for the ''rookie" boxer
of the year, to be given to the
fighter who makes the greatest
strides out of the unknown class
each year. First to win the honor
is Laverne Roach, a middle
weight out of Plainview, Tex.

Congress may be asked tomor-
row to go on record as repudi-
ating Henry A. Wallace's attacks
on American foreign policy in
speeches outside of the country.
A group of prominent Democrats
conferred today on this method OF
answering the former Vice Presi-
dent, but decided to wait and see
what progress is made today on
the bill to extend $400, ,000, 900 in
aid to Greece and Turkey to check
the spread of communism.
Earlier, the White House had
made clear that M. Wallace speaks
only as "a private citizen" in mis-
attacks on American foreign policy
and that no Official notice" has
been taken of his speeches abroad
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
emphasized that when reporters
asked him today about the furore
raised in Congress by Mr.. Wallaces
assertions that the United States
is embarked on a course of "imper-
ialism."
Later, however, Louis E. Starr
commander in chief of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, told reporters after
call on President Truman that
he got the impression something
is going to be done" Mr. Starr
