TCU-TECH BETTING EVEN
NEW ORLEANS. (UP) — The
betting today was ‘‘six to five and
take your pick” when unbeaten
Texas Christian tackles Carnegie
Tech, “surprise team of 1938.”
Ticket prices soared up to $30
in the scalping markets and a sell-
out crowd of 50,000 was assured.
The advance demand for hotel
looms was almost as great as that
for tickets, but hotel men did not
boost prices. Instead, they re-

DALLAS, Tex. (UP) — Texas
Tech's Red Raiders had grown so
fond of strict training today they
placed their student manager,
Harris (Tadpole) Cheek under
punishment for overeating.
Cheek returned from a Christ- j
mas visiting excursion and was
made to weigh ip. Squad members ,
were alarmed to £ihd him 11 ’
pounds overweight.
Today he began his prescribed
punishment of arising at 6:30 A.
M., going to the kitchen of the
apai'Unent-hotel where the Raid-
ers headquarter, and watching
the chefs prepare breakfast.
The jo'.ceb was that Cheek’s
place was eliminated from the Tech
breakfast table and his only morn-
ing nourishment until he regain-
ed his trim figure would be' the
aiTima of the kitchen.
. The Raiders plunged with a
new t.'i v or inti, theii dulls iig I li. >,
prepareJ" to meet St. Mary's m __
the cotton bowl Jan. 2.
of 1932 for the most homers ever
made by a right-handed hitter.
Following were among the bat-
ting achievements of the year;
Detroit players set a major
league record with 10 home runs
with the bases filled.
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees made
115 runs, the 13th straight sea-
son in which he has scored more
than 100 times.
The Yankees made three home
runs (by Gehrig, Gordon and
Chandler against Tietje.) in the
sixth inning of a
LdUls on June 20.
Frank Higgins, playing third
base for Boston, broke Tris
Speakers record of 11 consecutive
hits by getting 12. On June 19 he
singled off Whitehead of the
White Sox on his last time at bat
in the first game of a double
header. In the second game he got
two singles and a double in three
times at bat off Dietrich. Then the
Red Sox moved to Detroit for an-
other header and in each game
Higgins got four hits in four times
at hat. The next day Vernon
.Kennedy broke his streak on his
first time at bat.
In a gam.- agaifist Philadelphia
on Septs 17. Mcrvyn Connors,
rookie first baseman of the Chi-
■ ago White Sox, hit home runs tn
three consecutive times st bat.
Wilfred Lefebvre, making his
first major league appearance at
bat for Boston, hit a home run
against Monte Stratton of the delphia, .270.

was going the way they all go
eventually.
He not only won the individual
batting championship of the league
but he helped club the Red Sox
into the team title with an aver-
age of .299. Jimmy equaled an-
other record when he hit a home
run and a triple in the sixth inning
of the second game of a double
header at St. Louis on Sept. 20.
That tied the American League
record for extra base hits in a

>ide Park from the outside world,
mid JiU assistants will strafe any
airplanes, balloons or gliders that
swoop too low.
rWade wajjts peace for his team,
j and is going to get it at any cost.
"I have been to the Rose Bowl
four times,” he told me, “and I
know that only a 'no' man can
hope to put a winning team on
a ‘no’ ^nan I mean
will power to
rofusc the thousand and one in-
vitations that a visiting team re-
ceives in California. They’ll kill
you with kindness out here if you
aren't careful. The only way to
protect yourself is to quit mixing,
quit seeing jieople, and get off
secret work.”
Wade made it clear to me that
be’didn’t expect to teach his team
any new and startling plays while
they worked in their secluded
tender.votts. There will be on
magical formations perfected, no
new systems of attack or defense
devised. <
"We'll play the same game in
the Rose Bowl that we have play-
ed all year,” he said. “I have
been couching long enough to
know that you can’t-take a team
and make it over in. two or three
weeks. Oui secret workouts will
be along the same lines of the
practi e- we jhad in Durham. But
we like peace and quiet. . You
wouldn’t like someone looking
ever your shoulder while you
wrote a story, would you? No,
and an automobile salesman
wouldn't care about having fifty
or sixty perrons gathered around
him while he tried to sell a car
to ■ customer. I wouldn’t mind a
small and orderly group watching
our practice. I wouldn’t even mind
Howard Jones watching it, be-
cnu.-e he would stand on the side-
lines, out of our way. As for him
learning ab(»u our play—well, |
g'.i -.- h- :i!>e;.dy knows pretty
mt • h what i e' leet.”
Wade wasn't happy about his
team’s condition when I talked
with him last night. The practice
of yesterday found them slow and
uneven, he said, and the. score
front Berkeley, where California
licked Georgia Tech by a pair of
touchdowns, had showed them ex-
actly what they were, up against
in the Trojans of Southern Cal.
‘•We were lucky- to beat Tech
6 to 0,” Wade said, “and here a
team that Southern California
beat handily Ticks Tech much
more soundly that we did. It all
looks very bad.”
I interrupted to gay that Coach
Bill Alexander of Tech had told
me that Duke could have beaten
his engineers more thoroughly
had the Blue Devils had to.
"Bosh. King Bosh on Alex’s
part,” Wade answered. "We had
an awful time beating Tech.
Didn’t score until the second half,
and might not have scored at all
if Alex’s boys hadn’t fumbled.”
When I started to leave Wade
I told him that I planned to buy
a black beard and a pair of gum-
soled shoes, and sneak in and see
his team practice.
"You won’t get tn that way.”

Champion Joe Louis, ranked as
“the bqxer of the year," was
placed all alone in Group No. I,
topping .»!) heavyweights. Nova
heads Group No. 2 which in-
cludes Maxie Baer, Bob Pastor,
I ouy Galcnto, Maxie Rosen-

Nova was given third place in
the boxer ot' the year rating, be-
hind Henry Armstrong, who won
his second and third titles in
1938, adding the lightweight and
welterweight titles to the feath-
erweight laurels he won in 1937.
Fleischer considered Louis' feat
in knocking out Max Schnieling
in the first round a more no-
table achievement than Arm-
strong's in becoming the ring’s
first "triple champion.”
I he magazine's rankings de-
clared two titles vacant — in the

divisions, and it gave surprise
rating to K. O. Morgan of De-
