The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-12-01

gerstown Owls are still going on
and something definite, one way or
the other, may be known within a
few days.
The recently formed Security
Athletic Association, of which Paul
Macy is president, is a really ac-
tive organization. Already they
have held two shooting matches, and
plans are now under way to enter
a team in the Hagerstown Junior
Baseball League next year.
At a meeting of the association,
held on Tuesday night, plans were
discussed regarding the building of
bleachers on the baseball diamond,
and as their ultimate objective the
association hopes to build their own
clubhouse sometime in the future.
The association will have a strong
adult baseball team operating in
1850, and the report of the treasurer.
given at Tuesday nights meeting,
showed that the club is in a very
healthy financial condition
Passed up by the various major
bowl committees in favor of some
teams that had much less impress
sive record, the University of Mary
land Terrapins had to be content
with the Gator Bowl game at Jack
sonville, Fla, with the strong Mis-
souri, team as their opponents. Both
teams have accepted the bids, and
don't be surprised if it turns out to
be the best ball game of the day.
Other bowl games are: Rose Bowl,
California versus Ohio State at Pas
adena, Cal; Cotton Bowl, North
Carolina versus Rice at Dallas, Tex
as; Orange Bowl, Santa Clara YER
sus Kentucky, at Miami, Fla; and
Sugar Bowl, Oklahoma versus L.
S.U. at New Orleans.
The college games on Saturday
all went according to Hoyle, but as
was to be expected, there were some
near upSets in some of the tradi-
tional southern games. While Ten
nessee figured as an overwhelming
favorite over Vanderbilt, they were
lucky to take the game by just
six points, and the game between
Georgia Tech (the overwhelming
favorite) and Georgia was even
closer, with Tech getting the nod
by the extra point after touchdown.
The all-powerful Notre Dame
squad smashed through to a con-
vincing victory over the University
of South Carolina by the lopsided
score of 32-0, and if there was any
upset of the day it was T.C.U.'s
21-13 win over S.M.U.
Army, obviously mad at the crit
icism leveled at their weak schedule,
threw the book at Navy, to hand
them the worst defeat since the
two traditional rivals first met. There
isn't much to say about the game,
since Navy didn't even come close to
Threatening - as a matter of fact
they never got more than three yards
into Army territory during the
whole game. And so the game end
ed as those traditional battles usu-
ally do. They have always either
been close right down to the final
whistle, or terrifcally one-sided. |
wondered why Coach Sauer instruct
ed his captain, if he had the choice,
to kick off to Army 1t may have
been a psychological move with the
idea of showing Navy's contempt
for their opponents, or it might have
been deliberate move to test out
the Wanted power of Army on Of
Tense. If it was the latter, Navy
got its answer right quick, for in
exactly seven plays after the open
ing kickoff, Army scored it's first
touchdown.
The Baltimore Colts in the pro-
fessional league finished the season
on Sunday with another loss, and
the next day the owners of the
club announced that the Colts would
have to find another $250,000 if they
were to continue playing in 1850.
The statement said that despite the
attendance through the season,
which averaged $4,000 for each home
game, they finished deep in the red.
One of these days these profess
sional football promoters are going
to~wake UP to the fact that two
leagues cutting each others throat
is going to throw a lot of people
into the bankruptcy court = and
could be the death of professional
football.

Ger League, Williamsport is showing
