Army's Bill keIlum Is Named
AP's Linemon Of The Week

New York, Dec. 2 Zap -
Coach Earl (Red) Blaik won't
have SO many worries when he
starts building Army's football
line next year.
He'll have big Bill Kellum
back. Kellum, rangy end with a
knack for coming through in the
clutches, sometimes looks like
whole line by himself.
Such an occasion was in the
Army-Navy game last Saturday
before 102,5s1 at Philadelphia's
municipal stadium.
Kellum gave heroic defen-
sive performance that probably
prevented an Army defeat. The
game ended in 21-21 deadlock.
For his feats, the six-foot-three
junior flankman from Haynes
vile, La, yesterday was named
the Associated Press lineman of
the week-the last such selection
Of the season.
After Navy had stepped off to
a 10 lead, Kellum stopped a.
mother goalward march by the
Middies in the second period
when he nailed Reaves Baysinger
for a Vineyard loss. At the time
Navy was on the Army Il and
knocking on touchdown door.
In the third Kellum blocked a
Navy punt and Army took over
on the Navy 39. He was a bull
wark on defense throughout the
day.
The Army end has serious op-
position for the weeks line hon
ors from Ernie Stautner, boston
College tackle, and Tavern Tor
gerson, Washington State center.
Stautner recovered a tumble to
set up one touchdown, blocked
a conversion attempt and kicked
three extra points himself. Tor
gerson, backing up the line, in
tercepted three passes and made
a large percentage of his teams
tackles as washington State bow
ed to heavily favored Penn State,

Other linemen nominated
were:

Louis is expected to open
training quarters tomorrow.
The champ figures he will have
made close to 100000 in exhibi-

900 in Detroit, $500 in Washing
ton, D. c., $1,000 in Kansas

900 in Oklahoma City.
The Brown Bomber usually
gets a $500 guarantee plus a
percentage. Against Conn he
will receive 80 IL per cent with
the former challenger getting %
IL per cent.
A sellout of $4,000 fans (at a

with the mems and women's
joint swimming body.
One of the important matters
to be discussed is the proposed
exchange of athletic visits with
other countries.
AS the sports figures gathered,
there was speculation on who
would succeed Avery Brundage
as president of the United States
Olympic Association if Brundage
went through with his announced
decision to resign.
Brundage said just before the
Olympic Games in London this
summer that he didn't want to
hold the office again.
His present term expires in
Rhodes, who is up for reelec-
ton will be held.
Rhodes, who is up for reelec
ton as AAU head, has been
mentioned as a possible successor.
Other officials of the Olympic
Association said efforts would be
made to persuade Brundage to
stay. The Olympic group will
meet Sunday for a report on the
London games.

For Conn

Chicago, Dec. 2-(AP)-Heavy-

slated to begin training today for
his six-round exhibition boxing
bout with Billy Conn in the inter-
national amphitheater on Dec. 10.

About 100 fight fans watched
Conn take his first workout yes
terday at the ringside gym in the

retirement the Pittsburgh battler
has scored nine-round knockouts

mon, promoters, said at least SO

ing for Louis to make exhibition
appearances. They said Louis

Miami, Fla, Jan. q against an

Apostoli, Fighter
GraZianO Ducked,
Is Easy Opponent

Oakland, Calf, Dec, 2-(AP)
Mote to Rocky Graziano:
The fighter you ducked didn't
turn out too tough for Earl Turn
er, 154 FOUNDER, of Richmond,
Calf.
Turner easily decisioned Fred
Apostoli, l59-pound former mid
dleweight champ, in 10 rounds
last night.
That was the date you failed
to keep when you hustled back
east and explained you were in a
mental mixup about fighting on
the West Coast.
Turner went in with enough
speed to call the tune most of
the way. In the final round he
was betting Apostoli around al
most as he pleased.
After all, Apostoli hadn't
fought since November, 1947, and
the layoff showed.

Irishnlan Looks
Like Good Bet
In British Golf

LondOn-F req Day, nap
py-go-lucky Irishman, stroked
his way to the top in British
golf this season against a score
of invading Americans and other
foreign stars.
With an 18-year-old putter and
a whistle on his lips, he led pro-
fessional money winners by cap
turing three first prizes, four sec
onds, a fourth and two fifths.
His steady shooting was the
top individual feat in the Is
tournament season that saw the
foreign invasion stemmed and
great Improvement in the aver
ages by British pros. Although
wearer of the green, DAILY
rates as local since he comes
from Northern Ireland, a part OF
the United Kingdom, and is eli
gible for the British Ryder Cup
golf team.
Sixty-two men got under an av-
erage of IS strokes in tournament
rounds. Only a dozen were that
good two seasons ago. This i'm
provement is kindling hope that
the Britons are regaining form
that will enable them to put UP a
good show against the Americans
in the Ryder Cup matches here
next September.
If that Ryder Cup team were
picked now, DAILY would certainly
head it, He would be revenge
bound, too, being on the 1947
team that lost II matches to one
in Portland. Ore.
An ex-caddy, Fred came out
of the navy blue that season to
capture the British Open and
match play championships, top
prizes on the island.
Skeptics said he was flash
in the pan, his twin kill a fluke.
DAILY, a 146-pounder in his
prime at 35, answered by retain
ing the match play title and bare
ly missing repeating in the open.
He was runner up to Henry Cot
ton with an admirable display of
consistent play.
His earnings from 10 tourna-
ments in which he was fifth or
better were about 50, 1000, an un-
official figure since the profes-
sional golfers association refuses
to release incomes of its men,
bers.
"The outstanding British golfer
of the decade" comments Gra-
ham Emery, Press Association
golf writer.
DAILY proved himself, how
ever, by joining golfing greats
like Bobby Jones, the greatest
of all U. S. amateurs, in accus-
ing the old course at St. An
drews, Scotland, of being a
heartbreaker.
"This is definitely my last
visit" declared DAILY after card
ing IA and II one day. "You
might as well try to play around
corners as find the holes here. "
Second best money spinner
was Norman Won Nida, the Aus
tralian with the explosive tenn
per. Englishman Charlie Ward
was third. The gap to the rest OF
the field was wide.
Won Nida threw away putter
and tore up a scorecard in tenn
peramental outbursts demonstra-
ting that the dough was harder to
come by this season than last
when he was top-o-the-walk.
He won five tournaments, one
with season record low round
of So, but even that fine show
was well below his 1947 sweep
of eight Journeys. Won Nida went
home voWing to poke the pills
on his native links in '49, but it
would not be a surprise if he
turned up on the U. S. winter cir
cult or returned to England when
the daffodils bloom in the spring.

Lands plaque, is decided on a

On point basis, Musial had

Sain who had 223. Dark SEQ. ed

with 100 or more points.
Dark, enjoying brilliant

a fine third base all season and
drove in 100 runs with his .229
