THE PALM BEACH POST Saturday Morning, December 7, 1940 SINKWICH STARS IN GEORGIA RALLY TO DEFEAT MIAMI, 28-7 Page Eight -Tl DRAW FANCY PRICES Ohio State Buckeyes Prove Grid's Top Disappointment NEW YORK, Dec. 6. UP) There's little doubt that Stanford, which zoomed from the cellar in 1939 to the Coast Conference title and the Rose Bowl in 1940, was the most surprisingly improved college football team of the past season. The annual Associated Press survey reveals Ohio State just as O'Dell And Colbert Stage Furious Ring Battle Here A pair of mauling middleweights turned their 10-round bout into the liveliest action of the season at the American Legion's Clematis Street clouting stadium Friday night and had 1,000 ringsiders cheering wildly at the finish. There was only one possible decision, and so Referee Billy Shell called it a draw; with not enough HURRICANES STOPPED IN.

CLOSING QUARTERS MIAMI, Dec. 6. tiP) Georgia's great sophomore halfback, Frank Sinkwich, led the Bulldogs in a second half offensive that beat Miami, 28 to 7, tonight before a crowd of 11,860. Sinkwich, probably the shiftiest football player seen here this season, scored two touchdowns and set up another as Georgia came definitely was the most disappoint- edge to choose for either nuaay r'rel1.

GATORS PLAY TEXAS GAINESVILLE, Dec. 6. UP) Two of the season's most colorful football Elevens, Texas and Florida, clash here Saturday afternoon in a game expected to be wide open and plenty fast.

The Longhorns of the Southwest will be favored, but not. by prohibitive odds for the comeback of the Florida Gators uner Coach Tom Lieb has been so rapid that his team now is no pushover for even the biggest of them. A victory would provide a grand finale for either team, but the season would be a success for either even in defeat. The Texans already have achieved their prime objective of the year by defeating mighty Texas A. while the Gators guaranteed the success of their season by beating both Georgia and Georgia Tech.

The Texas players, resplendent in boots and sombreros, reached the campus In time for a final pre-gume workout this afternoon. They stopped off in Jacksonville for breakfast this morning. Most interest in Coach Dana X. Bible's husky squad was centered on two star backs, "Cowboy'' Jack Crain and Pete Layden who are expected to bear the brunt of the Long-horns' attack. Florida's lineup probably will be juggled throughout the game to give the 11 seniors finishing their collegiate gridiron careers a chance to see as much action as possible.

However, the passing and running combination of Halfbacks Tommy Harrison and Fon-dren Mitchell probably will carry a big share of the offensive bur IN ATLANTA, Dec. 6 CP) It was a year ago this week that the American League handcuffed the New York Yankees with Its no-trade rule, and though its virus has been passed along now to Detroit, the effect lingers on. Joe McCarthy, one of the smoothest managers in the has been hanging around on the fringe of the minor league meetings all week with his eyes and ears wide open and today he made a deal. He sent Outfielder Jake Powell to San Francisco of the Coast League for approximately the waiver price of $7,500. That hardly could be construed as an impressive first step in the reconstruction of the former champions.

But it was indicative of the trading doldrums into which the American League has fallen. The biggest deal that was put through in the junior circuit was the Boston Red Sox sale of two second line pitchers, Dennis Galehouse and Fritz Ostermueller, to the St. Louis Browns. The Detroit Tigers, who in the past have been active dealers, now are helpless and Manager Del Baker wandered around the lobbies here looking pathetic over having nothing to do. May Lift Ban The situation was sufficiently serious that rumors were around that the restriction on trading by the pennant winner might be lifted when the American League meets in Chicago starting next Tuesday.

Baker said he wasn't very hopeful and McCarthy said he hadn't heard anything of such a move, but said the position of the Yankees toward the rule was a well known negative. If the rule is not removed next week the reason probably will be that some of the clubs, in the spirit of fair play, feel the teams that legislated the Yankees out of the "world championship now should suffer the same restrictions. There may be some other trading at Chicago. The baseball people scattered to their homes today, or advanced on to Chicago, and the fact that they were all going to get together again may have caused some deals to be left hanging over the week-end. The closing business session of the minors' convention was devoted to reconsideration of handling players drafted for Army service.

The National Association yesterday had passed an amendment in its rules providing players drafted would automatically be placed on the voluntary retired list, but today this action was withdrawn and a committee head ed by President William G. Bram- ham was named to confer with Commissioner K. M. Landis and the major leagues in Chicago next week. At that time a uniform rule for both majors and minors will be worked out, probably providing for the refunding of the purchase price of ball players who are taken into the service shortly after reporting to a different club.

Old "Rubber-Arm" Still Active Player ATLANTA, Dec. 6. UP) This is the story of a 54-year-old pitcher, a rubber-armed gent who is fogging 'em past Father Time. He is Lefty Tom George, who was doing a regular mound stint at Columbus 24 years ago when Rudy Hulswitt was manager. Last year Hulswitt managed the York, farm club of the Bos ton Bees-and up pops George, who sells beer at York, to help out as a practice pitcher.

Hulswitt signed him. He proved to he no has-been, Rudy recalled today at the minor league meeting. "I told Bob Quinn (president of the Bees) that youngsters are scarce and that oldsters like Lefty George are rare," said Rudy. "I told Bob if he wanted a pitcher who could finish games effectively almost any place in his farm organization even, I would say, in the big league then I don know of any fellow that I saw at York last season who could fill the bill better. "He pitched five games for us; won three and lost the other two in extra innings.

In a space of four days he pitched 24 innings and you couldn't give him enough work. I never saw a guy with such a rubber arm." Negro Elevens Play For National Title ORLANDO, Dec. 6. UP)- Florida A. and M.

College of Tallahassee, will meet Wilberforce University of Xenia, Ohio, here at 2:30 p. m. Saturday in the eighth annual Orange Blossom negro football classic before a crowd ex-peeted to reach 8.000. The winner will claim the national negro collegiate football title, despite the fact that neither ha.s a clean record. The Dickinson system rates A.

and M. the top negro team of the nation with Wilberforce second. ETHIOPIAN CLOWNS TO PLAY HERE SUNDAY The famous Ethiopian Clowns negro baseball team will play the West Palm Beach Yankees Sunday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock at Lincoln Park. The teams met here several weeks ago and played a fl-6 tie, halted bv darkness. Special seats will be reserved for white fans.

By EDDY GII.MORE WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 UP) From the way things looked today it's going to be a lot harder to get into the Washington Redskins-Chicago Bears football game Sunday than it is to get into the White House. Tourists who want to see the inside of the executive mansion merely have to stand in line and try to keep from looking like suspicious characters when they reach the door. You can stand all day and night in line outside the gates of the "World's Series" of professional football and look like an Army general, but you'd better have a ticket. Griffith Stadium will accommodate about 36,100 for the contest, which is a pity, because there1 must be 75,000 who want to see the struggle of the play-for -payers.

All seals were bought last week a few hours after they went on sale, and the scalping is terrific. The hotel in which President Carl Storck of the National League is staying has a sign in the lobby advertising tickets for the game. There's a premium on them, however. Politicians Try Senators and representatives who usually can get Into anything in the capital are frantically making calls trying to round up tickets. George Preston Marshall, president of the Redskins, denied, however, that the scalpers had any good" seats for sale.

"I can say," he asserted, "that there isn't a seat between the goal posts in the hands of a scalper unless he got them from a season ticket holder." The Redskins held a long practice this morning. Coach Ray Flaherty sending them through many new offensive, plays. Tomorrow the Bears arrive and will hold their practice in the afternoon. Marshall, who has some sort of mysterious connection with the weather man, said he had learned "personally" that, rain will fall to morrow, but that Sunday will be fair. "I've been assured of this," he emphasized.

STRENGTH AT TACKLE WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 6. How would you like to stack up against eight tackles who average better than 220 pounds to the man? That's the test that will confront Mississippi State's Rebels' on New Year's Day when they oppose Georgetown's powerful football team in Miami's Orange Bowl. The big Hoyas, who average 192 pounds and have a 45-man squad, boast two of the biggest college tackles In the nation in tremendous Ross Sorce, a six-foot, five-inch 280-pound sophomore, and Al Blozis, world champion indoor shot-putter who stretches six feet, six inches and weighs a splendidly muscled 240 pounds.

The other tuckles are Joe Daniels, 200; Earl Fullilove, 210; Bill Nealon, 210; George Perpich, 210; Oscar Harte, 197; and Bub Sullivan, a mere 195. The amazing Blozis, a junior and letter man, is being boomed by many as an all-American this season. He played three of the greatest games ever credited a visiting tackle against New York University, Syracuse and Temple University. Iron man and standout of the lot, however, Is the 210-pound hard-driving Earl Fullilove, a big, bronzed boy from Birmingham, Ala. Fullilove is a fiercely competitive tackle, despite his misleading last name, and a 60-minute football player.

Daniels, a great all-round tackle, also can punt for magnificent distances while Nealon, who would grace a starting position in any ordinary lineup, is a well-rounded, hard-working chap who has marie his letter without difficulty every season while playing a lot of football. Georgetown tackles of 1940 have been compared by national authorities with the greatest in collegiate history of the last 10 years, and place with the greatest in a school noted for its great lines. Veteran Grid Coach Sees Good Future 'DENVER, Dec. 6. iP Harry Hughes, gridiron coach at Colorado State College for 30 years, told the National A.A.U.

convention today, "college football is a very healthful individual that right now has a slight cold." His address followed by a day the comment of basketball coach F. C. (Phog) Allen of Kansas that "football is on the way Hughes mentioned no names but said he would "like to speak a word for adding: "With proper doctoring of this slight cold, football can go right on as long as we want it." He said athletic heads "should see that they don't pay too much attention to the glamour Football, he added, "should serve youth and serve the masses." FULLBACK LEADS TIDE TUSCALOOSA, Dec. 6. UP) John Hanson, junior fullback from Roanoke, was elected captain of Alabama's 1941 football team here tonight.

John Wyhowanee of Tlltonville, Ohio, a guard, was named 'alternate captain, ing team of the year. Pre-season talk on the Pacific Coast dealt chiefly with Washington and Southern California. Stanford, in its first season under Clark Shaughnessy and with virtually the same material, wasn't expected to prove much more than an interesting experiment. Yet the Indians came through nine games without loss or tie, while Washington had to be content with second place and Southern California, robbed by gradua-tion of the men who made up its two Rose Bowl teams and further hampered by the early-season loss of Loyd Phillips, key running guard, had one of its poorest years in recent history. Ohio State's case was the direct opposite of Stanford's.

Strong enough in 1939 to win the Western Conference crown, the Buckeyes started the '40 season with material that made them seem a sure threat for top national ranking. Instead they lost four out of eight, and even at Columbus no one is sure just what happened. There has been talk of bickering among the players, of jealousy over the pre-season publicity given Quarterback Don Scott. There have been tales the Buckeyes had to learn over 300 plays, and consequently had almost no time for fundamentals. But the Buckeyes veren't the only disappointment.

Seetionally, other major teams which failed to live up to pre-season buildups (some because' those buildups were unwarrantably high) included: PACIFIC COAST UCLA, which tied with Southern California for the Coast Conference lead a year ago and this season won only one out of nine. The reason? Graduation of Kenny Washington, with no back around who could do as many things as that lad could. EAST Syracuse, which never quite recovered from that 40-0 going over by Northwestern; Princeton, expected to be chief Ivy League threat, a size-up which failed to consider the Tigers' lack of a real running back and graduation of the left side of their line; Cornell, which got stuck In lis last two games also through lack of a real power runner. MID WEST Notre Dame, where poor blocking and tackling were factors in reducing a mid-season "greatest team since Rockne" to a late-season "just another ball club;" Indiana, another team which found it takes a running threat to mifke a pass attack go; Marquette, where lark of reserves offset a high-scoring offensive, SOUTH Georgia Tech, Southeastern Conference co-leader in '39 got hurt by injuries; Duke, which didn't have the depth: Tulane, where 11 first and second-stringers were lost through graduation and two star guards went out early on injuries. SOUTHWEST Arkansas and Texas Christian, which also discovered passing alone won't pay off in the tight spots.

ROCKIES Colorado, where the players demanded a new coBch after winning last year's Big Seven race, then turned up with little deception and poor fundamentals this season. On the other side of the pictur were such surprises as: SOUTH Florida, off to a slow start under Tom Lieb hut late-season winner over Georgia, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Miami and able to hold Tennessee to two long-run touchdowns; William and Mary, settling into Carl Voyles' system in his second year to win the Virginia championship for the first time and finish third In the Southern Conference; Mississippi State, which won its way into the Orange Bowl behind a light hut hard charging line; Vanderbilt, Georgia and Auburn, the last two largely through sophomores who clicked. SOUTHWEST-Rice, which took to Jess Neely's coaching with new spirit, a stronger running game and better physical condition. MID-WEST Iowa State, a fast, closing team which gave Rose Bowl-bound Nebraska a scare; Wisconsin, which got a one-period jump on Minnesota. EAST-Penn, helped by a fine closing season for Frank Reagan; Navy, which generated great running power and had lots of material; Columbia, where line play wbs decisive.

ROCKIES Utah, moving Into the Big Seven title on a versatile offense and sound fundamental despite the loss of six '39 regulars. For the frankest estimate, the palm goes to Ab Kirwnn of Kentucky. Noting the Wildcats were labeled In several quarters the best Kentucky team in years, Ab' only comment was that this was a reflection on Kentucky teami of the past rather than a compliment to the current eleven, mm 101 roaring from behind after a 61- yard Miami touchdown march had put the Bulldogs in a hole. Sixth Lo Miami, suffering its sixth straight, defeat, played over its head the first half against a Georgia team apparently undergoing a letdown. The Bulldogs woke up in a hurry, as the second half got under way.

After a pass interception had stopped a 49-yard advance, the Georgians swept on across. Sinkwich's whirling off tackle slants and his 29-yard pass to Andy Dudish carried to the Miami two yard line. Sinkwich drove over tackle to score and Leo Costa came in to placekick the point to tie the score at seven-all. The prettiest run of the night, a 57-yard canter by Sinkwjch, was cut in half by a clipping penalty but it paved the way for the second Georgia touchdown. Heyward Allen fired a couple of passes to Bobby Nowell and Jim Skipworth to reach the Miami five.

Allen crashed over from there and Will Burt converted from placement. Runs 11 Yards Sinkwich topped off his evening's performance with a 22-yard touchdown run early in the fourth at the end of a 44-yard march. An 11-yard pass from Allen to Wood-row Brown figured. Costa again made good his placekick. Georgia third stringers came in late in the game and moved 56 yards for the last touchdown, mostly through the efforts of Jim Todd.

His line smashes helped work the ball to the Miami 31, where Todd whipped a perfect pass to Brooker Blanton in the end zone. Winfred Goodman placekicked the final point. Miami stalled off several potential Georgia thrusts early in the game and then put their own touchdown machinery into action. Bill Steiner, who had been a disappointment all season, was the hero of the drive. His two short passes to Bill Totterdale put the ball in scoring territory.

The Miami fans whooped it up when Steiner darted off right tackle, cut back past Lamar Davis and ran 28 yards for the score. Dick Miller converted with a placekick. Georgia made 18 first downs to Miami's six.

(Pi Five cities New Orleans, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore and High Point, N. are bidding for the 1941 National AAU convention. Charles L. Ornstein of New York, convention committee chairman, said the bids would be con sidered further Saturday before a recommendation is made to the general convention.

They stepped througn iu lerniic ivmnHc anil swatted, shoved, but ted and bruised each other until both had numerous lace cms at the finish. It was the second the two. the first in Houston, Texas, ending in a de cision for Colbert whicn many claimed at the time was a "hometown verdict." Billy Leads For a while last night it ap-that Colhert mieht repeat. His early round strategy was to toss a left hook into O'Ueirs mm-riff and then look to Papa Jack Colbert in the corner for more instructions. More left hooks and more glances to Papa Jack, and Billy had piled up a three round lead at the mid-way point of the scrap.

But O'Dell, who had been rushing into Colbert's left hooks in the early rounds, slowed his attack after that and began measuring Colbert with some effective rights. And from then on Colbert didn't have much time to be looking for Papa Jack in the corner. He had his hands full with O'Dell. The Amsterdam kid had a carbuncle on his right wrist, but you'd never have known it from the way he shot his punches. By the eighth round he had evened the count and turned it into a heated scrap.

The ninth was a clouting climax in which, like the entire bout, there wasn't much to choose, and the tenth saw the two tired battlers making futile attempts to score a decisive knockdown. But without a knockdown there wasn't enough to call it one way or. the other, and the draw resulted. Gilbert Scores Kayo Feature of 1he supporting card was Al Gilbert's first step up the comeback ladder. Al had lost some of his prestige by dropping a decision to Colbert several weeks ago, but he was more like the knockout kid of old when he finished off Johnny Tate in 1:58 of the fourth round of 'their scheduled 10-rounder.

Gilbert, weighing 164, missed many an opening, but finally connected with a right to the jaw to put Tate on the floor for the second time and for keeps. Tate, a southpaw, scaled 1761. Gilbert is from Washington and Tate from Brooklyn. There was one other knockout, Ted Mackin, 1454, Hartford, stopping Pete Kovack, 1501, Jack son, in the third round of their scheduled four rounder. George Vasil, 168, Atlanta, de-cisioned George Sterling, 162, Pom-pano, In four cantos, and Jim Carl ton, 150, Butte.

Friday night's card. Finnefrock Heads Big Ten Officials GAINESVILLE, Dec. 6. Arnold Einnclrock of Jacksonville, assistant sports editor of the Florida Times-Union, tonight was elected commissioner of officials for the Florida High School Big Ten Conference. Finnefrock, who has been officiating football for a decade, succeeds Lamar Sarra, Tampa attorney who formerly coached the Gainesville High and Plant High (Tampa) teams.

Sarra, who organized the central booking office for the Big Ten Conference, tendered his resignation to President Warren Kirkham because of the press of personal business. A vote of thanks was extended to Sarra for his work in organizing the central booking office and improving the officiating in Conference contests. Miami Edison was officially awarded the 1910 Conference football championship. Only other business to come before the meeting was of a routine nature, President Kirkham said. All of the 13 member schools were represented except one.

Pro Grid Draft Evils Are Cited WASHINGTON, Dee. 6. (JP Carl Storck, president of the National Football League, today deplored "evils" in the pro teams' handling of drafted college players. "I am speaking," he said, "of how one club gets a choice player, and because of financial, or other reasons, sells his to a richer club." Storck said the original intention of the draft held once a year by the professionals was to strengthen the weak clubs. "The weak clubs get the first pick of the players," he added, sand then what do we find wc find them selling their choices to the clubs that are already strong." Storck said he did not know what would be done when the club owners meet Monday and Tuesday to stage the annual draft and discuss constitutional changes.

Col lege football, having ruled the sports world for 10 weeks, bows out for 19-10 Saturday with scat tered games through the South and Far West. When next the crowds gather for the Bowl games it will be New Years Day, 1941. Tomorrow's biggest throng probably 80,000 will watch the annual struggle between Notre Dame and Southern California at Los Angeles, with the next largest witnessing the Southwest Conference finale between Rice and Southern Methodist at Houston. In many a past year the game between the Irish and the Trojans at Los Angeles had to be played before the mythical national championship could be awarded or even discussed intelligently, but football's shifting fortunes have made of it just another contest this lime. Notre Dame lost its last two starts against' Iowa and Northwestern, while Southern Cal, last year's Rose Bowl winner, never got In the Pacific Coast race this season.

Notre Dame looks like a last-minute favoiiie, as a hulf-dozen Southern California regulars are reported victims of the influenza epidemic in that section. The Rire-Southern Methodist brawl should prove hot and heavy, as the winner will tie the Texas Aggies for the Southwest Conference title and might just pos sibly receive an invitation to play Fordham in the Cotton Bowl. The Aggies are favored to get the bid, however. Southern Methodist has been beaten only by the Ag gies this season, while Rice lost to the Aggies and to Tulane. The Texas Longhnrns.

VP) The National AAU track and field committee recommended today that the outdoor track championships be restored to a yardage basis The meet has been run under the metric system since 1930.

The committee's recommendation came unanimously on a motion by Pin-cus Sober of New York, former quartermiler at City College of New York. Boston was recommended by the National Boxing Committee as the site for the 1941 tournament for the third year In a row. The committee also discussed a proposal that the United States be divided into seven districts in choosing entrants for the national meet, instead of each of the 41 associations sending champions as at present. Hawaii would be the eighth district. College Basketball Davidson 61, Union Theological Seminary 26.
