Cleveland BrownsW Win
All-America Pennant

A crowd of 61,849 in Yankee
Stadium saw Graham and Mot
ley, with some brilliant assist
ance from Edgar Especial Deliv-
er) Jones, completely oversha-
dow Orben (Spec) Sanders and
Buddy Young, the main offensive
cogs of New York, as the Browns
scored their fifth victory in six
starts against the Yankees. The
best the Yankees ever have been
able to do against their arch riv-
ais was a 1928 tie this season.
Among their five defeats was a
IA to 9 decision they dropped to
these same Browns in the cham
pionship game last year at Cleve-
land.
1t wasn't much of a football
game, for the Browns led from
the start as Graham completed
five of the first six passes he
attempted to lead the Browns to
a first quarter touchdown and an
advantage which they never re-
linquished.
They scored their second touch
down in the third quarter and
then fought the Yankees to a
standstill for the rest of the
game. Cleveland came close to
scoring more, for they had one
touchdown recalled on a penalty
and their kicking specialist, Lou
Groza, missed two field goal at
tempts.

BOSTON YANKEES

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. Up
- The Washington Redskins
came up with a one-two punch
today - Sammy Baugh's magni-
ficent passing and Jim Csstiglia's
line crashing - to end a dismal
season with an easy 40-13 victory
over the Boston Yanks.
Despite a field that was ankle
deep in mud in some places,
Baugh threw three touchdown
passes, his 23rd, Oath, and 25th of
a busy season.
Castiglia, castoff from the
last place Baltimore Colts of the

other from 80 yards out.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. l4-R
The Southern Conference,
which generally doesn't take its
basketball too seriously until af'
ter the Christmas holidays,
today faced what may be a
/ tough week even before all Of
the yuletide shopping has been
complied.
George Washington's Colonials
and Davidson's Wildcats, the
two teams which are setting the
pace in league competition SO
far. collide Monday night in
nations capital for undisputed
possession of top place in the
Southern Conference standings.
They were all tied up today
for the Mol slot, each with
two victories and no defeats.
The Wolfpack, perhaps better.
known these days as the "Hoos-
ier Hotshots," has already
spanked seven foes, all non-Con-
ference quintets. and has rolled
up 553 points-an average of ex-
actly 70 points per game. States
two best offensive aces in those
seven tilts have been Dick
Dickey, a forward from Alexan-
dria, Ind, who has packed u p
104 points for an average of 14.5,
and Paul Horvath. a freshman
center from Chicago, who pour
ed in 86 morkers for a l2.2

when he was one of the few boys
to make the grade as fresh
man. Along with Harrington,
third year man Jere Hllburn is
expected to be a big gun in the
Jayvee attack. Hilburn led the
Junior Varsity scorers last sea-
son, and should be a mainstay
this year.
Up from the freshman league
are Charlie Niven and Cecil
Heath, both pint-size guards,
sho combine speed and shooting
accuracy in their bid for a
starting berth. Niven led the
freshman league in scoring last
season and was captain of the
team which copped the loop
championship. Both Heath
Niven were chosen on the Fresh
man All-star squad picked from
the players of the league.
The fifth man on the starting
five is expected to be starting
Gene Cook or Sill Sturm. Bill
Fennell, Donald Anderson, Fowla
Lowe, and Gene Russ give the
Jayvees reserve strength.
The Elizabethtown high school
is one of several of the smaller
high schools in this section of
the state which the Junior Varsi-
ty plays each season.

many of the outstanding varsity
stars at the high school on his
team, including; w. A. Brown,
who led them to near perfect
season three years ago, Teddy

New to the team this year, as
well as to the school, is Denni-
son Ray, transfer student from
Monroe, N. Y. Denny made the
basketball squad his last two
years at his former school, and
was a starter last campaign. He
has polish, is a fine team man,
and is a handy 5',11" to Lave un-
der the blackboard. Also new to
the squad is Harry Coleman,
steady and one of the taller can
didates for the starting nod.
Rounding out the team, are:
Mole West, second stringer last
season, who was showing up ell
until he hurt his ankle midway
the practice series; A. c. Gregg,
also from last years team; and
Stanley Knott.
AS head coach Leon Brogden
has been in High Point for the
past week, coaching the Eastern
All-Stars team, along with Lee
Stone of Raleigh, no starting
lineup for tonight's game has
been released by the coaching
staff. It is assumed that Brown,
Collie, and Fennell are assured of
the posts on the first five, al
though the other two positions
are tossup between Smith, Lew
is, Ray, and Austin: we believe
that Smith and Austin will get
the nod in tonight's game at
least.
There has been much specula-
ton as to the real damage done
the Cats by the loss of McKoy
and Mason, but tonight's encount-
er may unveil another quint with
the balance, poise and reserve
power to win.

 Here the Valley Froniiersman moved down from inc art and literature section of the news. paper world and became strictly utilitarian. The damp new col umns wrung into twists made eN- cclleni torches while tires were switched.

 All hope of gaining the three hours was gone, but still the delay was not too great, and some papers might vel be wrapped for early morning read CTS. But hope of editors should never rise. for barely had the thought been framed when a sec ond tire was retired from active duty.
 This time there was no spare. To sit or to walk-that is aues- ton. A compromise solution called for a period of sitting fol- lowed by walking - walking down a starp-stoned road in high heeled slippers and listening in- tently to sound-filled night of hootS and howls and rustles.
 But help, wearing a khaki jacket with a corporal's stripes and driving a friendly, rackety Ford. transported the editorial section of the Frontiersman to Palmer, and eventually the ,000 copies of the troubles founda- ton stone arrived there, also.
 Tuesday there was no thought of schedules. A sleepy editor wrapped mechanically, won dered only "when?" And at 4 o'clock that afternoon, with only 300 copies yet to be mailed, the work was halted while that edi- tor totalled other first-day score boards on mental bulletin board.

 Things began with a turn for the worse. journalistically speak ing, shortly before noon on Mon- day Qualification day). A cheek of submitted items then showed that this first Frontiersman would undoubtedly make news paper history by appearing in print with al least one blank page, unless remedial steps were taken at once.
 Editors. reporters. and inter- ested bystanders rushed to files to purloin and plagiarize wher- ever they might, in order to fill the gaping columns of the infant Frontiersman. Joint efforts re- duced tke holes, line by line, and eventually they filled, although if was plainly evident that the 6 o'clock schedule for delivery would need some revising. Plans were matched and appeals made in the name of friendship. and at length a vehicle was borrowed to transport l LOGO of the first edition copies to their Palmer destination.
 Eight Plus One
 All concerned relaxed. but snapped back to attention sec onds later when final printers bulletin reported { h at the planned eight pages had some how grown to nine. Borrowed phrases were returned or filed against a Friday emergency, and the Valley Frontiersman was ready to go to press.
 The hum and the groWl, mel lowed by an occasional clank, sprang into being with the switch of lever, but the even rows of letters demanded by the script ! were purely ccript-ed imagina- tion on the first hundred From .tiersroan, most of which emerged from the press sideways.

 With a sigh of relief and What-Was-so-bad-about-that feel ing, the Matanuska Valleys own newspaper began to roll toward Palmer headquarters and final wrapping, stamping and address ing operations. Those three hours still could be overhauled and the Frontiersman would appear on schedule Tuesday morning after all, for there could be no hitch in this final step in newspaper production.
 But hitch there was, and it arose on a particularly dark and empty stretch of highway when still short of Palmer several miles, tire shattered editorial daydreams of a first issue out on time. A borrowed truck-was there a spare? Jack? There
