Crescent Blue Jays
Takes Lead By
Outscoring Vandy
The Crescent Blue Jays took un-
disputed lead in six-man District
20 this week by outscoring a good
Vanderbilt team, 47-20. The game
was evenly played the first half
with Crescent leading 20-14. The
Oilers just couldn’t seem to catch
the fleet Crescent backs the last
half us Wuthrich scored four
touchdowns and Mathys two.
Murphy was the leading scorer
for the Oilers with 12 points.
Hawking, a newcomer to Vander-
bilt after leaving an excellent
record at Pearland, has done a
wonderful job in bringing the Oil-
ers into the limelight.
Other games found, Louise de-
feating Lolita-LaWard, 41-25, af-
ter being led at the half, 10-7. Bles-
sing had a bye and the Mnrkham-
Van Vlcck game has not been re-
ported to date.
Games this week finds Crescent
at Markham, Lolita-LaWard at Van
Vleck, Blessing at Vanderbilt, and
Louise in a non-district afternoon
game at Orchard.

The second half of the football
season gets under way this week
with the country’s leading yearns
meeting some stiff opposition.
Right now, Notre Dame is rated
the No. 1 team with Michigan a
close second.
The big game this Saturday will
be the Notre Dame-Army clash at
South Bend. The Fighting Irish had
been hoping right along that they,
not the Columbia Lions, would
hand the Cadets their first defeat
in four years. Past performances
means nothing when these two
teams meet and usually the un-
expected happens. Though Army is
plenty strong, the Irish have the
power to win.
In other important major games,
Michigan should defeat Indiana in
what may turn out to be a hot con-
test. Texas too strong for Baylor.
Penn had better watch Virginia
but should win. Southern Cali-
fornia will have a field day against
Stanford and should run up a big
score. Georgia Tech will win over
Navy. Penn State should have an
easy time with Temple. Southern
Methodist has the power to win
over Texas A. & M. and Duke
should stop Missouri.
* * *
For a team that lost Glenn
Davis, Doc Blanchard, Arnold
Tucker and others, the West Point-
ers have played some mighty fine
ball. But the man they really miss
is Arnold Tucker. If they had him,
the Cadets today would be a pow-
erhouse team. In a recent game
they made a net gain of 302 yards
from rushing. With ball carriers
around that can make that kind o»
yardage, they certainly don’t miss
Davis nor Blanchard.

Branch Rickey, boss-man of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, will probably
do some high-power trading over
the winter months and rebuild his
club around young talent. But he’ll
have a tough time figuring out

what to do with the veterans. In
fact, it was the old boys that kept
the Dodgers in the Series. Hugh
Casey saved a couple of games
will his relief pitching. Cookie I.uv-
agetto came through with a pinch-
hitting double that won a game and
spoiled Bill Bevens’ no-hitter. And
old Dixie Walker hit the one and
only Brooklyn home run. Rickey
may decide to keep a few of the
veterans to coach the youngsters.
One thing is certain—Hugh Casey
will stay with the Dodgers. He's
one of the best relief pitchers in
the major leagues.

Before the start of the football
season Notre Dame was rated too
powerful for other teams. Every-
one figured they would run hog-
wild in every game. Even Coach
Frank Leahy admitted that their
only worry was over- confidence.
The Fighting Irish have a great
team. But so far they haven’t
shown the terrific power that
everyone has expected. Maybe
they're holding back. Perhaps they
don’t want to open up. Against
Iowa, it was Terry Brennan and
Emil Sitko who did all the scamper-
ing. They didn’t bother to use their
ace passer, Johnny Lujack. He was
kept in the background. Up to now,
they seem content to win by a few
touchdowns. But they may find
themselves pressed when they meet
Army or Southern California and
may be forced to show some of
that hidden power.

There is much guessing going
on in baseball circles about the
future of Larry MacPhail who left
the New York Yankees immediate-
ly after the World Series. At the
moment he is in retirement, liv-
ing on his big farm in Maryland.
But the Colonel is not the sort of
man to sit back and take things
easy—not for long. He’s too full of
pep and vitality to do that. Mac-
Phail has plenty of money to back
up any pronosition that he may
be interested in. As a business mat),
his various deals proved him very
capable. To name one in particular,
he installed the largest cafe and
cocktail lounges in the world in
Yankee Stadium and the financial
returns surprised everyone.
What MacPhail’s future plans
are will remain a mystery for the
time being. He’s in the doghouse
so was far as Chandler is concern-
ed. But he will be back and that’s
certain. He may buy the St. Louis
Browns and move them to Los An-
geles, San Francisco or Baltimore.
In any of those cities, they would
be a gold mine. He may even be in-
strumental in starting a third ma-
jor league. Whatever it is, lie’s go-
ing to do something big—and some-
thing that will pay off big, too.

Before the war, the Gaels of St.
Mary’s were quite a power in big
time football. Their annual clash
with Fordham was one of the clas-
sic games of the season. But in
1942 along came Jimmy Phelan to
take over the coaching duties—and
the Gaels went from bad to worse.
This is no reflection on Phelan’s
coaching ability. He’s one of the
best in the game. Witli 17-year-
olds and 4F’ers, he had very little
to work with. The Gaels did better
in 1945 and 1940. But this year,
Jimmy Phelan and his boys are
tailing quite a trimming. Nevada
handed them a 39 to 14 beating
which is definite proof the Gaels
are going down hill. Whether or
not St. Mary’s can hit their old
stride*again is hard to say. They
may in a few years if good talent
starts coming their way. Accord-

«
highways, so you re looking for tires that’ll deliver those extra miles
