For 1946 Season
TODAY'S GUEST STAR
Lelis Burton, New York Journ-
al-American: "A heartening de-
velopment for the buorgeois of
golf was Francis Ouimea's state-
ment the other day, as moderator
of links etiquette, that the period
of 'preferred lies' is over. Hence-
forth only the common or vulgar
lie will lie necessary, thus simpli-
fying the game for the uncultur-
ed."
Tickets for the Annual Phillips
Dlai'khawks Football B a nquct.
slated for 7 p. m. tomorrow and
sponsored by the Phillips Lione
club, were selling like hot cakijs
today, according to Dick Week.-,
Lions president.
Local fans and fathers of the 33
Hawks who will attend the ban-
quet at the Phillips grade school
cafeteria have until 9 o'clock to-
night to purchase ducats for the
gala event, which honors Coach
Chesty Walker, Assistant Coach
Joed Forbus, and the Mluckhawk
gridders who won the Region J,
class A schoolboy crown the past
season to mark the fifth time
Coach Walker's lads have copped
the championship since he began
tutoring there in 1939.
Because Briggs' Pharmacy, the
only placc where the tickets are
being sold, will close at 9 p. m. to-
day. Incidentally, the ducats are
selling for only $1.00 j>er person.
One of the highlights of the ban-
quet is the appearance of Burl
i Huffman, who wa.s assistant grid
mentor at Texas Tech prior to en-
I tering the service, and after re-
: cciving a discharge has retained
the same position, for a brief talk
|«od the stowing of some thrilling
i gridiron classics on the screen.
Only 190 tickets were placed on
sale by the Lions and by noon to-
day over half of them were sold.
II a past years, the banquet was for
the coaches and gridders only but
demands from fathers and inter-
ested football fans required ticket
sale for the public. The tickets
i were placed on sale yesterday and
i will, if not completely sold by
! Brigg's closing time tonight, be re-
I covered from sale.
The Methodist ladies will serve
the banquet, which promises some
more fine food, for which they are
well noted. Thus summing every-
Jhing up, the banquet, tomorrow
flight in the Phillips grade school
cafeteria at 7 o'clock, promises to
be one of the biggesrt sports festi-
vities of the year.

OXFORD, Miss., Jan. 15—WP)—
Seeking the recipe for Alabama's
j bowl successor the University of
' Mississippi last night dipped into
Frank Thomas' bag of coaches and
came out with two of his assist-
ants to guide the Rebel football
activities in 1946.
Ole Miss' Chancellor A. E. Bitts
announced the Rebels' new head
coach would be Harold "Red"
Drew, since 1931 the boss of the
Alabama ends. „
Drew in Tuscaloosa said the
Tide's backfield tutor, Tilden
"Happy" Campbell, would fill
similar berth on his Mississippi
staff. Butts sad said Drew wouH
have a "completely free hand" in
naming his assistants.
The new Rebel mentor said al-
so he hoped to have his line under
the tutelage of Johnny Vaught,
who used to coach the line at the
University of North Carolina be-
fore he entered the navy.
i Drew will take over formally
I on Feb. 1.
The new appointee, who said
he had a three-year contract
(salary not announced), succeeds
Harry Mehre, who resigned in De-
cember after nine years with the
Rebels, and after a 1945 season
during which his gridsters lost
four and won four.
ALIBIS TO BURN
Eli Whitney, the bowling publi-
cist, offers this one of the year's
alibi championship . . . Con Con-
stance of Seattle explained: "Try-
ing for a spare in the tenth frame,
my arm brushed my pocket on the
backswing, igniting a packet of
matches. In the scramble I drop-
ped the ball too soon, missed the
spare, « 200 game, a 000 serie and
we missed the game by one pin."
DOTS ALL. BROTHERS
The Suger Bowl expects to put
on its full sports program' next
winter, including basketball, track
meet, tennis tournament, boxing,
and rowing and sailing regattas.
There'll be football game, of
course, . . . Honeh Russel, who
ought to know a good team when
he sees one, picks Holy Cross as
the "class" of New England bas-
ketball if not the entire east."They
really knocked the stuffing out
of Bowling Green," he explains.
Dodgers Have
Great Spring
Training Plans
BROOKLYN, Jan. 15 — </P> —
Take 73 pitchers. 15 catchers and
60 assorted Infieldcrs and out-
fielders, add 30 managers, coach-
es and scouts and a slightly used
blackboard manned by Professor
Branch Rickey and you get a
rough idea of the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers' spring training plans.
™ Returning to his Flatbush desk
after a siege of illness, Rickey has
outlined plans for a 150-man
camp at Sanl'ord, Florida, opening
Feb. 1, with special emphasis on
returning servicemen. This, in ad-
dition to the regular Brooklyn and
Montreal bivouacs starting March
1.
Manager Leo Durocher will have
charge of a squad of master mindj
running from coaches Chuck Dres-
sen and John Corriden to pitcher
Curt Davis and second baseman
Ed Stanky whom Rickey thinks is
"managerial timber."
A strong Gruver Greyhound
quintet remained out in front all
the way in the Phillips high school
gym last night to defeat the Phil-
lips Blackhawks 41 to 24.
Coach Joe Hayes' charges drill-
ed yesterday afternoon in prepara-
tion for the visitors' arrival but
were unable to get out in front
during the entire game. High
point man for Coach Lawrence
Brothe« ton's Hounds was Ayres,
center, who sunk seven field goals
and one free throw for 15 points.
Ben Earnest. Blackhawk for-
ward, took second place honors
with 9 points.

HASTINGS. Ncbr., Jan. 15—(JF>
—A woman sitting in her parked
automobile, looking disconsolately
at the parking meter on the curb,
hailed a police officer.
"I've got 20 minutes left on
that meter." she told the police-
man. "Do I have to sit here until
it's up?"
The cop decided, quickly, she
could drive away, without violat-
ing any traffic law.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15—VP—The
National football league's club
owners completed a secret draft
of 3(H) players early today with a
"sleeper" back irom the midwest
and the great Doc Blanchard of
Army heading the list—and turn-
ed to completion of their trouble-
some 1946 schedule In the same
locked-door silence.
Determined that no information
of any importance would leak out
to help the rival all-America con-
ference in the no-holds-barred pro
gridiron war, the magnates re-
vealed only the names of half a
dozen backs from the 300 draftees,
among them Blanchard, the
mighty all-America Army fullback
who was first choice of the Pitts-
burgh Steelers.
And, following the same policy
of keeping their mouths tightly
closed, in sharp contrast to the
tub-thumping of previous years
when they won over opposition,
the moguls were determined to ar-
rive at a schedule, probably some-
time today. They would not re-
veal dates and sites, on the grounds
the all-America might benefit in
drawing up its own playing lists
for next fall.
Surprisingly enough Blanchard
was not the number one selection
in the draft not only because it is
likely he will remain at West Point
where he still has two more years
to play, but also because Jim Con-
zclman. returning coach of the
Chicago Cardinals, who had first
pick in the seven and one half
hour session last night and early
today, wanted the "sleeper".
He wouldn't reveal the identity
of this player believing the an-
nouncement might send all-Amer-
ica owners scurrying to sign him
up. It was learned however that
the player is an extra special
wingman from a section described
as "neur midwest" and his selec-
tion by Conzelman as number one
choice surprised even some of the
assembled magnates.
The first National league draf-
tee was Boley Dancewicz, Notre
Dame's former T formation quar-
terback specialist who was signed
by the Boston Yanks last Friday.
Last night after the Cards showed
• their "secret weapon" and Pitts-
I burgh picked Blanchard the only
j other selections revealed were
John Strzykalfcki, a Marquette and
Air Force ball carrier, first choice
I of the Green Bay Packers; Leo
1 Riggs, Southern California and
: Army performer, who led the
i Philadelphia Eagles' list; and Cal
Ross*i, former UCLA star, and
St.in Koslowski, Holy Cros u<«
n'iio were named by the Wash-
ington Redskins.
