As for his church duties: "THEY'RE WHAT ANY OTHER MAN WOULD DO IF HE WERE CALLED ON TO SERVE." Roach Joined the Dallas church in 1920 the same year he began his Southwest conference officating became a deacon in 1933. He attends morning and evening services each Sunday, meets with the deacons once a month, assists in arranging the weekly church suppers and still finds time to serve as secretary-treasurer of the Sunday school.

35 played four years in high school and entered Baylor in 1914. The Southwest conference emerged from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic association In 1915. Roach began his officiating career In nonconfer-ence games In 1919, made his debut In the young loop In 1920 and haw n't missed a season since. He's performed before tens of thousands of fans in the southwest, in the north and in the east, most of the time as a headlinesman, although he has refereed, umpired or acted as field judge. He suffered a broken arm in the 1940 Southern Methodist-Pitt game at Pittsburgh when he was on the receiving end of a flying block.

His only New Year's day bowl assignment was the January, 1942, Texas Aggie-Alabama Cotton Bowl classic. "Games In the north and east are easier to call than those the Southwest conference clubs play when the chips are down," says Roach. "A fellow has to be on his toes 60 minutes of every game down here."

CHICAGO, ILL. (V) A smalltown" football team which George Halas 22 years ago vehemently swore his Bears would never meet again is the opponent of the mighty Chicago professional array today in the biggest game of the National league schedule one expected to attract a standing room jam of 45,000 for the fiftieth renewal of this series. These Green Bay Packers who aroused Halas wrath so fiercely in 1921 are the only outfit to stand off the Bears this season. They did it in a 21 to 21 tie in their season' opener and have to beat the Chicagoana today or concede the western division to the Bears. Since then the Bears have paraded to five straight victories, while the champion Washington Redskins have been sailing to four in a row to dominate the eastern division.

The Redskins play second-place Phil-Pitt today, and that game, too, is a last ditch affair for the Eagles who must win or agree tho eastern crown is all Washington's. There's a pretty good game brewing in Detroit. The Lions vs. the New York Giants matches two of the season's finest rookies Frankie Sinkwich of the Lions and Bill Pascal of the Giants. And in Brooklyn the Chicago Cardinals will oppose the Dodgers, each seeking its first success of the cam paign.

But getting back to Halas ire over the Packers. George was burned up that day because of ths field's condition, the attitude of the Green Bay crowd, and those "small-town amateurs" the Packers. (The Bears won, 20-0.) The only cash collected was from the hat of a young newspaper man who poked through the crowd looking for donations. But Green Bay has been hard hit of late. Center Charley Brock, one of pro football's best, had an emergency appen- dectomy in New York last week.

However, Tony Cana-deo has been a capable replacement for Isbell and Hutson's doing all right. Phil-Pitt's hopes will flicker if they, too, are unable to stop Sammy Baugh's passes for Washing ton. The Texan is having his finest year, last Sunday throwing a record six touchdown aerials as part of a record passing offensive how for 376 yards. N. C.

MASTERS GAMECOCKS COLUMBIA, S. C. (U.P.) The North Carolina Tarheels ran over an outclassed band of South Caro lina Gamecocks in their annuil clash Saturday, 21 to 6, before 7,000 fans. The gamecocks' line, which had held the opposition to only 210 yards by rushing in five previous games, crumbled before the hard-running North Carolina backs who stormed for 325 yards on the ground. South Carolina gained only 23 yards rushing.

North Carolina opened the scoring in the first period when Triple-threat Eddie Teague broke loose for 40 yards and a touchdown. Hosea Rogers scored the other two on short runs. Omaha Golfers Help Bluffs Links Upkeep (The Register's Iowa News Service.) COUNCIL BLUFFS, I A. Council Bluffs folks can give thanki to Omahans for that low cost of maintain Jig city parks. The cost per person was only 16 cents in Council Bluffs; low for the state.

And Omahans helped make that low figure possible, with their patronage of the Dodge Park golf course, just across the Missouri river bridge from downtown Omaha. the Game Odell Goes 41 Yards for Penn Tally CN) SMASHES FROM 1 YARD ln iM- fev By Nelson Fuller. DALLAS, TEX. CP) On Saturday afternoons, Jack Roach is right in the middle of the tumult that floods tho football field. On Sunday morning, ho quietly usher worshipers to their ie and passe tho collection plate In downtown Dallas' First Presbyterian church.

That Roach dean of Southwest conference football officials and church leader can combine such diverse avocations and maintain his religious creed is a tribute he pays to the modern football player and to his coach. "In the old days it wasn't unusual for a bull-necked fullback to storm up and demand why in the blankety-blank-blank you called a play as you did. "Players don't act that way now and I think a lot of the credit for the change should to the modern coach." Roach was half of a brother combination that made Baylor grid history from 1914 through 1917. Jack helped open the holes for brother L. W.

to plow through. Each earned four letters in football and L. W. added four more as a Baylor diamond performer. It was Jack Roach -who stepped back from his tackle post one afternoon against Texas Christian in 1915 and booted a 49-yard field goal.

That performance still stands as a Southwest conference record. "Of course, I had one advantage the 1943 player doesn't have," he concedes. "The goal posts were 10 yards closer than they are now." Roach earned the record, however, for he practiced field goal kicking an hour a day, and was Baylor's specialist in kicking off and converting points after touchdown. This native Texan played in the first football game he ever saw, in 1909, as a seventh grade member of the McGregor, High school team. After the game, he had to ask what the score was.

As McGregor's uniform hadn't arrived, Roach played that first game in a madras ehirt. He wore school shoes to which a cobbler had tacked leather strips for cleats and shoulder pads sewed from his mother's rag rugs. The youngster finished out season as a seventh grader. DEACONS DUMP N.C.NAVYf20-12 CHAPEL HILL, N. C.

(U.P.) The Wake Forest Demon Deacons scored two touchdowns in the first half to defeat the North Carolina Navy Pre-Flight Cloud-busters, 20 to 12, before 5,000 fans here Saturday. Nick Sacrinty, right half, paced the Deacon offensive as he passed to End David Harris for the first touchdown and then scored one himself a moment later on a lateral from Russ Perry. ine second score was set up as Perry intercepted Cook's pass on his own 45 and lateraled to Sacrinty who ran the distance for the tally. The Cloudbusters hit pay dirt for the first time with a minute and a half gone in the third period. Cadet Cecil Hare did the scoring, a 53-yard run off tackle.

A sustained 80-yard drive with Fred Grant bucking over from the four produced the final Deacon score while the Cloudbusters counted their second with less than a minute to go on a 16 yard pass from Dave Hayden to Eu gene Lovett. Big Orval i Star's Voice Aids the Navy FORT WORTH, TEX. UP) The foghorn voice that earned Wallace Myers the nickname of "Hog Caller" ten years ago when he played football, basketball and baseball for Texas Christian university is standing him in good stead as a sailor. "I'm an aviation mechanics mate, first class," says the former T.C.U. athlete, "and my job has to do with navy planes flying from carriers to land bases.

"A lot of times during my ten months of combat service In the south Pacific, I had to tell a pilot something while his motor was 'reving up. All I had to do was let out a little on the voice and the pilot would nod his head in understanding. "Most of the other mates had to. either make signs, draw pic-j tures or climb up on the planes to get their messages over. Yep, that voice is still coming in handy." In his athletic days Myers would holler opponents out of plays.

As a football end he used it while rushing passers. As a guard on the basketball teams he employed it to confuse many a rival in the act of trying for a field goal. In baseball he even filled the open spaces of the diamond with his tremendous shouts. There has been nothing like Myers voice In the Southwest conference since Hog Caller left school. He joined the navy two months after Pearl Harbor and reached the combat zone eight months later.

"I can't say what ship I was on and where we went," Myers says, "because our skipper told us not to talk, but our ship and crejv saw plenty of action and we were at a lot of different piaces." A service ribbon worn by Myers shows that he was in three battles but he came out without a scratch. I OR for 11 yard3 and a second touchdown which, with Pattee's conversion, made the score 15-0 early in the second period. But the Elis came back with a fine 70-yard drive of their own to bring the score to 15-7 at the half. Cokefair scored again in the third, but Pattee's placekick again was blocked and when Yale scored a few minutes later' it left the count, 21-14, Brown. Brown tired badly in the final period, to let Yale score.

RICE BOUNCES ARKANSAS, 20-7 HOUSTON, TEX. (JI1) Striking with lightning-like rapidity, the Rice Owls scored three touchdowns in the third period to de feat the Arkansas Razorback3, 20 to 7, Saturday and win their first Southwest conference football game. A crowd of 6,000 saw Bucky Sheffield set up the first Owl touchdown when he punted dead to the Arkansas 15.

The Owls, scored again after Billy Scruggs intercepted Harold Cox's pass and dashed to the Arkansas 31. Charlie Haden picked up 27 yards in two tries and then carried over.

CP) A Yale football team that kicked back to its own three yard line in the first couple of minutes and spent the rest of the afternoon recovering finally crept up to within one point of the ever-leading Brown eleven Saturday in the final period, only to lose, 21 to 20. Ed Strype, who had converted after two previous Eli touchdowns, missed as his third place- kick was partially blocked and Yale'3 valiant attempt to overcome that one-point deficit in the waning- minutes were thwarted by a fumbled pass.

Brown got the ball deep in Yale territory, and when Coke fair's long forward pass carried to the goal George Egan, who intercepted it, slipped and was nailed for a safety. Ray Scussel's fumble of a Brown punt on the Yale four, with Brown recovering, set the stage for a Brown touchdown a little later, Jay Pattee taking a pass from Cokefair for the score. Cokefair, shot through the line FINOS SCORES TWO FOR NAVY Navy Continued from Page 1. third quarter opened but it didn't stay that way long. Half -pint Harold took over the quarterdeck and went to work, operating behind a line that resembled the gun-turret on a man o'war.

Harold rang this one up on the cash register by going over from two yards out.
