Army Picked To
Defeat Macy In
annual Classic
By HAROLD cLAAssEN

NEW YORK RESaying farewell
to the 1854 college football seasor
without too much regret. 1t was 9
season of upsets. Perhaps the cock
eyed season can best be described
by pointing out that four teams
qualified for three different New
Years Day bowls last Saturday.
The quartet won only three
games on the final Saturday and
the bowlers scored "a points while
having 1O3 scored against them.
Of the 43 games picked last week
this corner was correct on 36 and
wrong on Z. That's an average
of 1897. The seasons figures are:
344-131 for .724.
The, final merry-go-round.
Army over Navy: This could be
the best service game since the
fabulous 21-21 tie of 1925. Both
teams have competent players at
all posts but Army appears to
have the better quarterback in
Pete Vann, and that could be the
difference. 1t is your Saturday TV
morSel.
Notre Dame over Southern Cal
ifornia: The Irish, who seem to be
getting better and better each
week, are playing at home. An
other Saturday attraction.
Baylor over Rice: The Baylor
line will keep Dick Moegle in
check and tie Arkansas for the
Southwest Conference title. II will
be played Saturday.
Texas over Texas A&M: Texas
has the more talent for this annual
Thanksgiving Day feature.
Cornell over Pennsylvania:
Thursday marks the close of
PENIS first winless season since
the days of Ben Franklin.
Nebraska over Hawaii: A Fri
day night contest in Honolulu.
The others without comment:
THURSDAY
Colgate over Brown, Denver

William & Mary, Wichita over

ginia Tech over Virginia Military.

Carroll Hardy, the battering tail
back of the University of Colorado,
probably would be greeted like the
public hangman if he put in an
appearance at Manhattan, KAN
and as a result he was selected
today as the Associated Press
Back of the Week.
A real triple-threater, Hardy was
the main instrument in knocking
Kansas State from a chance to
play in the Orange Bowl. His Buff
faloes whipped K-State last Satur-
day 1914 and Hardy did the fol-
lowing:
/. Scored three touchdowns.
2. Carried 10 times for 23S yards,
better than his three-season aver
age of 6.1.
3. Kicked one extra point.
4. Got off runs of 70 and So
yards for two Of his scores and
40 yards, which set up his third.
Colorado, the Wildcats would have
tied with Nebraska for second
place in the Big Seven behind
Oklahoma. Since they beat the
Cornhuskers earlier in the season,
they would have gotten the Orange
Bowl nod because Oklahoma was
ineligible, having played last Jan.

NEW YORK R-Baltimore fans
do not agree unanimously with

plucked by the Yankees in last

Maybe a Baltimore fan, having

from the Baltimore Evening Sun
as follows:
I'm one of the Oriole fans who

Maloy May
For Miami

CORAL GABLES, FLA. - Capt.
Gordon Malloy Of the University
of Miami, who made his final ap-
pearance before home fans as a
Hurricane player by getting his
first 100 yard game against Ala
bama last week, needs to do lust
a little better than half that well
against Florida in Gainesville this
week to join the u of Miami 1000
yard club
Only seven other Hurricanes have
gained 1000 yards or more net from
scrimmage in their Miami careers.
Malloy goes into the Florida game
with 943 yards in his Miami ca
reer and hence needs just 81 more
to 60 over the top.
Malloy, with IL touchdowns in his
Miami career, is sixth in total tbs,
one short of Walter Watt who pick
ed up 13 IDS in four seasons.
The Hurricane captain has play
ed both left and right halfback
spot and also spent q season at
fullbacking. He'd probably be well
over 1000 yards now but in his
sophomore year, after he had made
q good start as an offensive right
halfback, he was moved to the de-
fensive platoon because Of his great
defensive ability and spent most of
his time with that group.
Miami's great captain has car
ried the ball 50 times this year and
only twice has he failed to come
up with a gain.
Actually he had advanced the
ball TAI yards for Miami. In addi-
tion to his 472 net in rushing. he
has 217 yards on punt returns, "a
or kickoff runbacks and IS on pass
interceptions. In past years, he has
been an able man on pass inter-
ceptions; this year, Miami's sys-
tenn of play and his move to left
halfback have changed that and he
has been target for any passes.
Most of the time this year, the
University Of Miami Hurricanes
have been attempting to end jinxes
and they've done a pretty good job
as they earned their first football
victories over Baylor, Maryland,
Fordham and Alabama and have
started their competition with Mis-
sippi State and victory.
However, this week against the
University of Florida, they'll be
attempting to preserve some min
or jinxes. For instance, they've
been more successful against Flo
rida in Gainesville than they have

was saying. now 1t takes the
low 70s and an occasional round
in the COS.
When asked how come, Louise
said one of the reasons was
better equipment. She is just
past 80. but in her amateur days
Miss Suggs played with mems
clubs. The advancement in the
steel shaft has enabled the
woman golfers to hit the ball
farther and the use Of the wedge
has enabled those who play a
lot Of golf to make the sand
trap shot almost automatic.
Too. there are many more
tournaments now. and with
more competition the girl golfers
are bound to improve because
they're playing almost every
week about nine months of the
year. Those who don't improve
have to get out.
Somebody at the table asked If
the top woman pros use mems
or women's par as a yardstick
for their games. MEMS par"
Louise replied. IF 1 take S

concerned. there's no such thing
as women's par" BY we, she

playing in that many tourna-

There's continual pressure on
Miss Suggs, Babe Zaharias and
Patty Berg to keep the women's
pro tournaments alive. They're
the big three. Without one of
them it's tough to promote a
women's tournament. Without
two it would be almost hopeless.
Without all three 1t would be
food for cancellation.
"If I had my way I'd play in
three tournaments and skip one. l"
Louise was saying. "It's impos-
sible to stay sharp week after

ganization is scheduled through
October.
The mems pro tournaments
have survived the semiretire-
ments of Ben Hogan, Sam Snead

mtaintain the public interest.
But there are only 20-odd woman
pros, and there's a big drop be-
tween the top three or four and
the rest.
my case is similar to the
Babe and Patty" Louise con-
tinued. 1--WE have personal busi-
ness, exhibitions for our spon-
sors, and still we're expected to
play in every tournament. It
can't be DONE"
Since the last women's open. in
Beaumont, Tex, almost month
ago, Louise has been home CAT

cinnati on business and has haG
other commitments outside Of

nament-sharp when she arrived.
and she had time for only one

And Louise is one Of the big
