CO FAR 1948 has been an amazing
seasonIn two ways for Its bril-
liancy and its failures For Its Mex-
ico and the food that Mexico has
done lor ball play
era everywhere
The Red Sox Joe
Louis and Assault
i have taken lull
charge ot the spot-
light side They
I have been the out
i standing cham
I plons Golf has no
entry with Ben Ho-
gan and Byron Nel
Ted Williams son the two lead-
ing money winners
trailing Lloyd Mangrum in the U
S Open We seem to have the best
tennis players but a Frenchman is
still the Wimbledon winner
What has happened In the first
year after the war Except In the
way of record attendances and gen-
eral enthusiasm the aftermath of
World War II hasnt even ap-
proached the aftermath of World
War I Not in the way of competi-
tive class
Can yon name competitors today
who have anything like the com-
bined class of Babe Ruth Jack
Dempsey Bobby Jones BIU Til
den Tommy Hitchcock Rogers
Homsby Earl Sande Waller Hagen
Gene Earaicn Red Grange Man o
War We have Joe Louis But
Joe Louis has been the worlds
heavyweight champion for over
nine years
We have Ted Williams but Ted
Williams hit over 400 before the
last war He was a great ball play-
er or at least a great hitter before
World War II ever developed a
slight fover Sammy Baugh and Sid
Luckman go well back before World
War II
The brief postwar period has de-
veloped a wild stampede to the box
office But very little beyond that
In baseball the batting stars today
include Ted Williams Dixie Walk-
er Dom DIMagglo Vernon Muslal
Hank Greenberg and a few more
Put these are veterans most of
them Hal Newhouser of the Tigers
and Rocky Graziano have been the
two leading stars since 1041
Against this list I havent the
heart to give you the names of
those who have faded folded uf > or
slipped badly who returning from
army and navy assignments fell
far behind The outstanding per-
formance of 1946 sp far has been
the Red Sox plus Ted Williams
Plus the Dodgers fine showing
against heavy odds player for play-
er The second nomination Is Joe
Louis who against Billy Conn had
almost no opposition
Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson are
the two major money winners In
golf but Lloyd Mangrum Is Open
champion and Herman Keiser is
the Masters winner And Sammy
Snead is British champion It is all
very much confused very badly
tangled up
Most Class in Football
In my opinion the feature part
of 1046 wont belong to baseball
racing boxing basketball track
golf or tennis It will belong to
football This applies to both the
college teams and the pros This
first applies to the quality of com
petition There will be far more
class to football than any other
postwar sport can even approach
I understand that over 100000 ap-
plications had been made for the
ArmyMichigan game back in June
There will be over 200000 ticket
applications for this contest at Ann
Arbor Applications for the Army
Notre Dame game will pass the
300000 mark before September
ArmyNotre Dame and ArmyNavy
together could leave the 500000
mark behind If there was
only space enough
The NavyGeorgla Tech game In
Atlanta already has two times the
seat applications that Atlanta can
handle Notre Dame Army Navy
and Michigan will be a triple sell-
out for almost every contest The
same thing will happen to South-
ern California and TJCLA on the
west coast Also to 6t Marys and
v
othera
But I doubt that Notro Dame
will have the team Frank Leahy
had In 1943 or that Army will have
the team Red Blalk had In 1944 or
1949 The talent hasnt Improved
but the crowd Interest has Veter-
ans coming from army and navy
service have proved nothing Some
have been better others have
taken a big dip This has been true
In baseball and it will be Just
as true in college and pro football
There will be stars from other
years who will shine and there
will be stars from other years who
will be flops
There will be a professional foot-
ball entanglement that will leave
you gasping and more than a few
pockctbboks Batter than a thin
plank In looking pn ahead you
will also see a big revival In ten-
nis Interest and one of the hot-
test amateur1 golf championships
any galloping member of the Thun-
dering Herd has ever known Bud
Ward Frank Stranahan Cary
MlddlecoB koUer good enough
to beat the Nelsons and the Hogans
In major tests plus young stars
moving u Pi This has been a rathei
Aluj season so far up and down
