Athlete Of Year
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 16.-
Passin' Bob Thomason has been
named the Virginia athlete Of the
year" for 1948 by the Associated
Press.
This was the second year in sue
cession that an athlete from vir-
ginia Military Institute has been
selected to the honor by the Old
Dominion's sports writer's.
A year ago, the States No. / ath-
lete was Malachi (Chi Mills, cap
tain and tackle on the Keydet foot
ball eleven, who completed his elf
gibility and joined the professional
ranks.
Thomason was terrific on the
gridiron this season. The 6-foot
2-inch, 183-pound senior from Leeds,
Ala, provided the spark-an aerial
spark-that made the Keydets a
dangerous football aggregation. The
Keydets won six and lost three.
In the statistical department,
here's what Thomason did:
Threw 1T passes and completed
95 of them for 1882 yards and IA
touchdowns. Set up five touch
downs with his passes. Scored ona
touchdown himself
Thomason gathered 81 points in
the voting. Eleven points behind
him was Tommy Thompson, William
and Mary's third team All-America
center from Woodbridge, N. j. The
Indian ace was a defensive demon,
played brilliant offensive game.
Third place in the Outstanding
athlete" voting went to Jack (Fly-
lng) Cloud, William and Mary full
back from Norfolk, Va, who mus
tered IA points, Cloud, who led the
Tribe in scoring with AZ points, was
named to the All-Southern Confer
ence first eleven for the third
straight year.
Lynn Chewing, Hampden-Syd-
ney's Little All-America halfback
from Richmond, Va, was fourth.
Chewing got eight points.
William and Mary's football In
dians were selected as the Virginia
team of the year" fer the second
successive time. The Tribe grid
men, now preparing for their New
Years Day engagement with the
Oklahoma Aggies in the Delta Bowl
at Memphis, Tenn, finished the
regular season with six victories, two
deadlocks and two defeats.
The Indians gained "a points in
the "outstanding team" balloting.
The State champion Roanoke Col
lege basket ball Maroons were sec
ond with II. Third place was taken
by the John Marshall High School
cage quintet of Richmond with 10

behind in the final IS seconds with
a scoring pass to defeat Arkansas.
Then again, in the Ponies climatic
struggle with Texas Christian, he
passed and ran for SO yards in four
plays to tie the count TT just at
time ran out.
Nick Bulkovic of Pittsburgh was
singled out by a dozen voters for
his pass interception and 23-yard
touchdown run that removed Penn
State from the list of the unbeaten
teams. His teammate, Jimmy
Robinson, also thrilled several OBJ
servers with 100-yard sprint
against Purdue.
The longest run noted in long
list of spectacular dashes was
turned in by brilliant Lou Kusserow
of Columbia, who returned kick

.Comiskey's Ring Date
With Charles Hinqes
On Louis Bout Tonight
By the Associotsd Press

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. TO-
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
meets Paterson's Pat Comiskey to-
night in a six-round' affair billed
as an exhibition.
For Comiskey it will be a chance
to exhibit whether he is good
enough to rate a fight with Ezzard
Charles.
Charles manager, Jake Mintz, has
said the bout, tentative for January
IA in Cleveland, depends largely on
Comiskey's showing tonight.
Louis, as in all OF his other exhi-
bitions, will be putting his crown
on the line when he walks into the
ring.
This situation was explained yes
terday by Abe J. Greene. National
Boxing Association commissioner
Greene said:
ANY one who is over ITS pounds
is heavyweight. Thus. II any
Legitimate heavyweight knocks out
the champion, he certainly would be
the champion. 1t would cause
plenty of controversy. but that
would have to be the ruling"
In other divisions, he pointed out,
when the titleholder fights in an
exhibition he specifies that his op-
ponent must be over the weight and
so eliminates any chance of losing
the crown.
Louis started his current tour
against Comiskey in Washington,
D. c., on September 20. Since then
he has appeared in Is other cities.
He will wind up the 1948 trip De-
cember 20 at Lewiston, Me, against
Willie James.

NEW YORK, Dec 16.-Either Art
Murakowski of Northwestern or
Bobby Jack Stuart of Army pulled
the most electrifying play of the
1948 football season, depending on
which expert does the voting.
Stuart's show piece was thrilling
103-yard return of a kickoff against
Penn at Philadelphia, in which he
went through or around the entire
Quaker team to score q vital touch
down. That was the sizzler which
the Cadets finally pulled out by
1920 in the last IS seconds.
Murakowsh produced his gem In
the second half of the Northwestern
Norte Dame classic, when he plucked
an Irish pass out Of the air and tore
80 yards down the sideline to put
the Wildcats in front 7-6. That
Notre Dame rallied to win did not
detract from Murakowskis valiant
effort.
More than half the sports writer's
who participated in the annual As
ISOLATED Press poll to pick the most
spectacular play OF the recent CAM
paign voted either for Stuart or
Murakowski, with opinion about
evenly divided.
Running third for the distinction
was a play in the same game In
which Stuart made his run. That
was when Arnold Galiffa, Army
quarterback and passer, shot pass
to End John Trent in the end zone
in the last IS seconds to win the
contest and keep the Cadets unde-
feated.
From the Southwest came a solid
block of votes for a series of breath

traded by the Indians this week to
Washington, led the first basemen
with a 1896 mark. Dale Mitchell
captured the top mark for outfield-
ers with .991.

the best fielding second baseman
with 1898 in 141 games. Hank Ma
jeski Of Philadelphia led the third
basemen with .975 and Bob Swift
of Detroit was the highest ranking
catcher with a .ssl percentage.
>Stirnweiss shattered two major
league marks in leading the circuits

age erased the old mark of 1892 and
his five errors in handling IT'S
chances was new season low for
miscues.
Thirty-six pitchers had perfect
fleldtag records, with Fred Hutchin-
son of Detroit ranking first on his
leading figure of 81 chances.
The st. Louis Browns finished last
In team fielding, but first in double
plays with 100, seven more than
Cleveland accounted for.
Gerald Priddy, st. Louis infielder,
was not the slickest infielder in the
league, but he took part in 1872
double-plays, or more than ally
other infielder with the exception of
first basemen.
-Four individual fielding records
were tied in 1913 and all involved
double e-plays.
Pitcher Hal Newhouser of Detroit
started four double-plays in a single
game. George Vico of Detroit and
Ed Robinson tied a mark for first
basemen by participating in six
double-plays each in single game.

ton Red Sox tied a mark at his post
by taking part in five double plays,
while Joe Gordon of Cleveland tied
