J. Curtis Sanford, who has indi-
vidually promoted past Cotton
Bowl games, said he let his civic
pride and football enthusiasm get
the best of him when the Aggies
finished their season with one of
the greatest records in the school’s
history and became one of the
three stand-out teams of the Na-
tion. He desired to eliminate any
possible ’’taint” of commercialism
from the bowl, so he turned his
contract over to an association of
prominent citizens which put the
New Year’s Day game on a non-
profit. taking basis.

that the Little Dutchman was as
proud of his 1939 team as its all-
conquering predecessor.
“It’s easy to win when you’re
winning,” sad Meyer as he told
the schoolboy gridders that Ki
Aldrich, all-America center for
TCU in 1938, had promised him
months before the season began
that “we've got the boys, and
an A & M. Cornell, th ethird na-
tional standout, was not considered
on a par with either. The board
believed that Auburn, which Ten-
nessee plays in its schedule finale
Saturday, would go the way of
such stronger teams as Vanderbilt,
Kentucky, Louisiana State, and
Alabama, none of which scored on
the Vols.
The Aggies' full 1939 record is
in the book. They found nothing
in the strong Southwest Confer-
ence or on their intersectional
schedule to give them any trouble.
Down in order they sent Oklaho-

mid-week scrimmage scuffling

preparation for the season-end

provised battle ground after his
victim, the paying patrons made
for the exits in record-breaking
time. Not a single opponent has
come close to getting a decision
over Toto, but O’Connor, the
drop-kick artist, has promised to
chalk up the first victory before
local fans.
A real old-fashioned dog-fight
is likely to result in the Kuss-
Menacher bout. Menacher, the
New York Jewish lad, only recent-
ly joined the neck-twisting fra-
ternity as a pro but is reported
to be a “find” in the rough-and-
tough phase of the grappling
game. Kuss, flying hook scissor
star, once ruled supreme in Hen-
derson and the meeting of these
two huskies should be worth go-
ing a long way to see.
The preliminary bout between
Nelson and Meeker also looms as
a brawl. When the Arkansas back-
woodsman dons his overalls and
digs his toes into the canvas,
action galore is almost sure to
follow. However, Meeker, the
Louisiana cop, has been impress-
ive in recent appearances and is
expected tc give Farmer Jim
quite a scrap. On last week’s
prelim, Meeker and Frank Tay-
lor, handsome Toledo, Ohio,
heavyweight, fought to * draw.
Jack League, veteran matman
and a polished arbiter, will be the

CANADIEN’S STAR

MONTREAL. — Pit Lepine,

Gagon underwent a tonsilectomy

Five strong teams come under
another classification—unbeaten
but tied. They are Southern Cal-
ifornia, Tulane, UCLA, George-
town and Duquesne.
The five are likely to dwindle
to four at dusk Saturday when
Southern California and UCLA
tangle at Los Angeles. The chins
will really be down for that one,
because the winner is almost cer-
tain to carry the hopes of the
West in the Rose Bowl. ‘
Th'' air already is full of bowl
talk, but so far nobody has been
able to do more than guess.
Neither USC nor UCLA will state
its preference publicly on an
Eastern representative until they
settle their backyard argument.
I he best guess is that the Eastern
representative for the Rose Bowl
will be chosen from among
Tennessee, Texas A. & M„ and
Tulane. The West Coast prob-
ably would like to have Cornell,
but so far there have been no
signs out of Ithaca, N. Y., that
tne , Big, Red will consider any
bowl bid.

It was understood here that A, &
M. at College Statien, and Tennes-

the offers in special meetings of
school officials today ahd announce
their replies this week. Strictly on
the merits of a football classic, the
association was confident it held
the upper hand on Rose Bowl pro-
moters who hadn’t a perfect-record
team to choose from in the West.
On the matter of financial re-
turns to the school treasuries the
Cotton Bowl offer was almost—but
not quite— as attractive as a Rose
Bowl offer will be. Duke, which
plaved in the California bowl last
Jan. 1, received a pproximately
$100,000 and expenses, it was

Cushing coach, divided, scoring
honors for the night, each hitting

Clebur Johnson, erstwhile Lane-

recorded 13 points on six field
goals and a free toss. Howell, also
a forward, tallied 10 of the losers’

•‘Gosh!” That’s all Lloyd Madden,
Colorado School of Mines full-
back, had to say yesterday about
his scoring feat after the 185-
pound back had charged over
Rocky Mountain gridirons to hit
pay dirt time and time again this
season to establish a scoring rec-
ord with 141 points.
Madden, 21, a handsome, dark-
haired youth who came here from
Manhattan, Kansas, to study
petroleum engineering, surpassed
the Rocky Mountain record of 122
points set by Byron "Whizzer"
White, Colorado University ace
who was tops in 1937.
Statistically, here’s his record:
He carried the ball 92 times—
including charging, pass inter-
ceptions and run-back of kickoffs
—and he made a total of 1,316
yards. This averages 14.3 yards
for every time he got hold of the
pigskin.
These facts tell clearly why
Colorado Mines, winner-of the
Rocky Mountain “Little Five”
Conference race, went through
the season undefeated and untied
scoring 268 points to its oppon-
ents’ 44.
Madden’s biggest" asset was
DAYTON, Ohio. (UP).—Pres-
ident Carl Storck of the National
Football League said today that
Ed Justice, halfback of the Wash-
ington RedsRins, would be banned
from the prefessienel-league for
life and fined $500 if, as unof-
ficial reports say, he struck
Referee Bill Halloran during the
game with the New York Giants
last Sunday.
Halloran ruled against a last-
minute field goal attempt made
by the Redskins, which is success-
ful would have given Washington
the game, 10-9. In the ensuing
melee, several players crowded
around Halloran and, it was al-
leged, Justice struck him.
If Justice only “attempted” to
hit Halloran, he will be suspended
for one year and fined $500,
Storck said.
'GOLDEN, Colo. (UP).—
that Judge W. G. Bramham, asso-
ciation president, had overplayed
his hand in declaring before a
round table discussion of league
presidents and business managers
yesterday that a case of forged
contracts he has under investiga-
tion "is just as serious against
the clubofficials as the Black
Sox scandal of 1919 against the
players.”
Bramham said he wouldn’t
complete his investigation for two
months and refused to divulge the
club or league he referred to but
from the amount of salaries in-
volved the presumption was that
it was a Class D circuit team.
He said players’ names had been
forged to contracts calling for
$60 to $90 while the players act-
ually drew from $175 to $200 a
month.
“The trouble seems to be that
many clubs have men handling
their business who can not follow
instructions of any kind,” he said.
“Every step in contract signing
is itemized in our manual, and
I’d advise clubs to stop wasting
money on secretaries who can’t
do the job the way it should be
done.”
Most experienced minor leag-
uers were inclined to believe
Bramham was trying to penalize
some inexperienced baseball men
severely for an infraction of the
rules which bigger and wealthier
clubs and chain store system teams
easily evaded because of their
knowledge of baseball rules and
their loopholes.
What about the bigger fellows
who are getting away with it
without forged contracts?” Bram-
ham was asked.
"I only know what I’ve got in
writing,” Bramham replied.
At a dinner given by the Texas
League last night Jake Atz, pilot
of the great Fort Worth clubs of
the early 20’s and now president
of the Henderson East Texas
League club, urged Bramham to
use his office to lead the lower
minors rather than hinder them.
“You’ve got to lead us,” Atz
said. “I’ve given 42 years of my
life to baseball and know as much
about it as anyone but we can’t
exist unless we have the right
kind of leadership. We need men
like Branch Rickey and Jack
Zeller to help us and keep us
going.”
Atz received a great ovation
for his speech which expressed
the feeling of most of the “little
fellows” in baseball who have to
struggle to get along.
In major league circles the
arrival last night of Manager Joe
Cronin of the Red Sox was ex-
pected to stir up some trade ru-
mors in the American League.
Mason said. “He’s just an old-
fashioned ball carrier with a new
twist to his hips. Unlik-most
sprinters who try to play foot-
ball, Madden learned 6 change
pace and sidestep, nt run in a
straight line like he was running

CINCINNATI, O. (UP) —
Branch Rickey, head of the St.
Louis Cardinals' farm system, an-
nounced today that Eddie Dyer
had been re-engaged to manage
the Cards’ Houston, Tex., League
club again next season.
Ira Smith, veteran manager in
the Cardinal chain, has obtained
his release to become manager of
the Birmingham Southern Associ-
ation club. Oscar Roettger, man-
ager of the Durham Piedmont
League club who was slated for
the Birmingham Job, will remain
there because of the shifting of
Paul Florence from Durham to
the presidency of the Birmingham
club. Fred Fleig, business mana-
ger of the Muskogee Western As-
sociation club last season, has
been made president of the Dur-
ham club. Roettger in addition
to managing Durham also was
promoted to the vice-presidency.
OVERTON. (Spl.) — After/
week of rest, the Overton Mustang
football squad Monday got back
to work in earnest. The present
edition of the Green clad warriors
will seek the third consecutive bi-
district crown for Overton Friday
afternoon against the Roughnecks
of White Oak high school. )
Coach Chester Allen’s charges
wound, up their regular schedule
Nov. 24, and had some light work-
outs, but no game competition
last week. It is probable that
the same team that started
against London two weaks ago
will start against the Roughnecks.
Winlon Knowles, coach of the
White Oak eleven, said Monday
that his lads are smaller than the
Ponies. He and officials of the
school wanted the title game to
be played In Gladewater, but con-
sented to bring it here, after a
conference with representatives of
the local school.
Three different coaches have pi-
loted the Mustangs to champion-
ship seasons in the Oil Belt in" as
many seasons. In the fall of 1937
it was Louis Paradeaux, former
line star at Baylor, who led the
Ponies to a regional title. He was
followed by Andy Andrews of
Southwestern University. Andrews
stayed only one season, and was
hired at Henderson. Another pro-
duct of Southwestern followed An-
drews at Overton. He is the pres-
ent coach, Chester Allen.
The ne • gridiron mentor found
only a handfull of experienced
hands from which he had to build
a football team to play in touch
class “A” competition. Coach Al-
len worked with his new pupils
in spring training, and had two
weeks more practice in the fall
than did most teams. Vhen Over-
ton opened the season against

Two regular matches, pitting
utstanding heavyweight grap-
piers in action, and an exhibition
between Toto, the wrestling bear,
and Popular Dan O’Connor is the
mat menu on tap at the Auditor-
ium tonight. The stellar card will
get underway with a one-hour
match between Farmer Jim Nel-
son, Arkansas hillbilly, and Ro-
land Meeker at 8:15 p.m., Pro-
moter Earl Gibbon has an-
nounced, and one of the largest
crowds in history is expected to

The main event setto pits Otto

at Indiana University and an old.

Menacher, husky Jewish perform-
er, a newcomer to Henderson.
This match will follow the exhibi-

a one-fall affair and will last
probably no longer than O’Con-
nor can stay out of reach of the
300-pound grizzly.
