James Alvis Froggy) Williams,

all get-out" over being named
lineman Of the week by the Asso-
ciated Press.
But it wasn't anything startling
to others around the Rice foot

said it was richly deserved and
Williams ''is an all-America with
out doubt. He has been con-
sistently good player for us for
four years, is an excellent student
and a fine boy. I am very proud
of him"
Williams earned the national
honor by his great play against
Southern Methodist last week
when he scored two touchdowns
set up two more, kicked five extra
points and brought the comment
from Coach Matty Bell of S. M. U
that "he's an all-America if ever
there was one" Williams spanked
Rice to a 41-27 victory over South
ern Methodist.
Froggy, a 6 foot 185-pounder

the season started was an all

To Manage Chisox
BY the Assoeiofsd Pre.s

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The Chi
cago White Sox are managerially
set for next season, and the Gin
cinnati Reds probably soon will
have a successor to Bucky Walters.
Charles Comiskey II, vice pres
ident of the White Sox, announced
in Chicago that Jack Onslow
would be back as manager. This
came as a surprise since it had
been speculated that new man
ager would be brought in to fill
out the remaining year of Ons-
lows contract.
Warren Giles, whose Cincinnati
club is now the only team with
out manager, announced he ex-
pected to fill the spot within the
next week or so.
This leaves only one major
league spot on the uncertain list.
Zach Taylor. whose st. Louis
Browns finished seventh in the
American League. left for Florida
without having his contract re-
newed. There is talk new pilot
will be named. Paul Richards may
be the man. Richards quit yester-
day as manager Of the Buffalo
Bisons in the International League
and said he was dickering with
a couple of clubs ''in and out of
the major leagues" He also has
been mentioned for the Cincinnati
vacancy.

BROOKLYN, Oct. 2o.-Branch
Hickey, president of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, is ready to trade one of
his outfielders for a front-line
pitcher.
He mentioned this item at a
press conference yesterday. Earlier
Hickey was closeted with Fred
Saigh, owner of the st. Louis
Cardinals, in a Commute session.
1t also was learned that Gene
Hermanski, Brooklyn's lefthanded
hitting outf1elder. and George
(ReO Munger, st. Louis right
handed pitcher, were among the
names discussed.
"Our prime need is a front-line
pitcher" Hickey told the news
papermen. II am willing to trade
one Of my eight outflelders for
such a man. I think there is a
chance for such q trade.
II am through selling players, I"
he added. We've sold eight men,
four of the Dodger club. That's
enough. I won't trade any player
that I think will be of benefit to
the 1850 team unless I get what
believe is a better player IN return. -

predicted another pennant for his

football war is right here in New
York"
ITO my mind the most impor-
tant thing on Sunday is not
whether the Yankees outdraw the
Giants at the gate. or vice versa.
The most important thing is the
total attendance.
IF both games draw 10000 to
10000 1T will prove professional
football can be profitable in New
York and I feel sure some solution
can be worked out"
Jack Mara, president of the
Giants, said he thought Topping
was right on the question of total
attendance determining the fu-
ture Of pro football in New York,
but added: What is the solu-
tion?"
Tim Mara, founder of the
Giants, estimates there are 1000
pro football fans in New York.
Topping hikes the estimate to
100000.
Attendances in both circuits
this year have shown a slight de-
crease as compared to a year ago.
Neither side has a reason for it
except that conditions, generally,
have frightened.
In 70 games this season, the
All America clubs have an
nounced a total attendance of
650.550 or an average of 28,285.

Princeton, Columbia
Up Against II Facing
Cornell and Army
BY fhe Associoted Prsss

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-At least
two Ivy League coaches have little
reason to look forward to Satur-
day with relish and probably could
be excused if they ran the other
way when they saw their oppo-
nentS.
Charley Caldwell of Princeton
faces the unenviable task of lead
ing his team against Cornell, not
only a heavy favorite to take the
loop crown-but generally re-
garded as being the second-best
team in the East.
The best, of course. is Army,
and Lou Little and his Columbia
eleven must play the Cadets at
West Point.
Neither is particularly happy
about the prospects.
Said Caldwell:
1T is not impossible that we
can take Cornell, but it is highly
improbable. Cornell has three
full teams. two offensive and one
defensive. -
Said Little:
We've played Army before and
always fulfilled the assignment.
Well do it again Saturday, and
after that we'll take a trip up to
Ithica to meet Cornell the follow
ing Saturday"
OF the two, Columbia faces the
least chance of springing an up
set. The Lions opened the sea-
son auspiciously by beating Har-
ward, but on successive Saturdays
were bounced around by Yale and
Pennsylvania.
About all Army spokesmen are
saying is that there are no in
jurfes on the Cadet squad and
that the West Pointers still have
not forgotten the day two years
ago when Columbia upset the
hitherto undefeated Army team.
Princeton probably will bank
to a great extent on the run
ming Of George Sella. one of the
best in the Ivy League, plus the
passing of Dick Kazmaier.
In other games napless Har-
ward, victim of four straight op-
ponents, takes on Dartmouth in
Cambridge. while Penn, currently
leading the league with three vic
tories and no defeats. entertains
Navy at Philadelphia.
Yale meets Holy Cross at New
Haven, in a nonloop encounter,

powers that suffered it's first de-
