MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1948 The Sports Sutherland and Dobie Had Similarities In Careers By WHITNEY MARTIN MEW YORK UP) Gil Dobie, who died last Friday, and the late Jock Sutherland had more than a little in common during their long coaching careers. Both were Scotch, and both had their full shares of the canniness generally associated with that nationality. Both were long and lean and dour in demeanor, although each possessed a dry wit. The fact Sutherland was known as the Dour Scot and Dobie as Gloomy Gil indicates the impression they made upon those with si Vim aw mr- i HEADLINE STUFF: Johnny Flynn and his wife look over wire service story containing word that Rochester heavyweight boxer was ranked fourth behind Champion Jo Louis in Ring Magazine's rankings for 1948.

Johnny stopped Melio Bettina last Tuesday. SUGAR BOWL TAKES whom they came in contact. The similarity didn't stop there, however. Each was convinced the ofT-tackle smash was the bests offensive play in football, and each showed a meticulous attention to detail in the training of his teams. Dobie would spend hours working with a center or a guard until that man had mastered his assignment, and he would work with his backs endlessly on such apparently minor details as crossing the legs in stepping toward a hole in the line so that the runners would arrive at the designated spot Tourneys Prevail During Regular College Cage Lull New York (UP) Temporarily shunting aside the doings of the regular schedule, college basketball moves into a week packed with' exciting and important tournaments in almost every section of the country.

Highlighting the week's fun and 7 at the opportune moment. Perfectionists they both were. In fact, this trait made them extremely chary in praising individual athletes. Even the great George Ffann failed to elicit more than a wary: 'Oh yes, George is a nice boy," from the reticent Dobie. As for Sutherland and his addiction to the off-tackle play, the story is told of a game in which his Pittsburgh Panthers were marching steadily down the field against some hard-pressed rival, picking up five yards at a clip.

The quarterback, sensing a chance to pick up greater yardage by doing the unexpected, called for a forward pass. It was good for 60 yards. Sutherland promptly yanked him. "What's the matter?" he growled when the displaced player reached the bench, "Those off-tackle plays were gaining five yards, weren't they?" Both Sutherland and Dobie were famous for their lines. They liked the big, rugged type of players, but they didn't want them that way at the sacrifice of speed.

MEW YORK UP) An 1 annual expenditure of $50,000 by the commissioner of baseball has developed today into an incredible investment. Twenty years ago the majors began to couch up the $50,000 at each Winter meeting as co-sponsors of the American Legion junior baseb a 1 1 program which has put more than a million youngsters on the sand-lot baseball diamonds of I.Ol America. BOtUKEAU The investment paid huge dividends. In 1948, there were 243 players in the major leagues who got their start In Legion baseball. Anion? them were the most valuable players in both leagues, the leading batsmen of both Circuits and the top pitchers in both league in won and lost percentages.

-)(-- Twenty-nine of the 50 players selected for the annual All-Star game last Summer and S3 or the 50 men certified an eligible for th World Serin were graduate of legion baiw-ball rank. Another S.437 were spread through the vattt annoclatlnn of 58 minor league clubs. At current inflation prices, baseball would have made a terrific bargain if only one youngster a year decided to make the game his profession because of the lift he got from Junior competition. Most of the stars who hit the big time probably would have made It, anyway, but many undoubtedly were influenced by the Legion program. The American League lists 123 former kid stars, including Lou Boudreau of the Cleveland Indians, the most valuable player; Ted Williams of the Red Sox.

the top hitter, and Jack Kramer of the Red Sox, who led the league in pitching percentage with 18 victories and five defeats. Among the 120 National Leaguers were Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals, most valuable player and best batsman, and Cardinal Harry Bre-cheen, who led the league both, In earned run average and pitching percentage with 20 victories and seven defeats.

C.I DOBIE 'RING' RATES ROCHESTER HEAVY 4TH By GEORGE BEAHON Christmas arrived one day late for Kochester's Johnny Flynn yesterday afternoon. The Polish heavyweight yes-day learned of the highest ranking he ever has enjoyed in the ranks of the world's heavyweight boxers. The highly respected Nat Fleischer, editor of Ring Magazine and one of the world's foremost authorities in the boxing business, placed Flynn fourth in the listings behind Champion Joe Louis for the 1948 season. Annual Awards The copyrighted story in the February issue of Ring announced the magazine's regular annual awards and listings in all professional divisions. Three groups of heavies were classified.

Louis was all by himself as champion. In a second bracket came Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles. The next list was headed by Lee Savold, with Flynn following. Flynn was placed ahead of such punchers, in order, as Joey Maxim, Jimmy Bivlns, Jo Kahut, Rusty Payne I'at Valentino, Melio Bet- tina, Joe Baksi and Bruce Wood cock. Flynn kayoed Bettina in Roch ester last Tuesday.

It is possible that Flynn was ranked fourth be hind the champion even before he stopped the Beacon battler here. Latest Triumph The knockout victory over Eet-tina was Flynn's latest triumph in a string of 15 bouts. He won 13 of these bouts in his comeback campaign-After the Bettina scrap, his man agcr, Joe LoVerde, wired Twenti eth Century Sporting Club offices in New York, offering to box Sa vold, Walcott or Charles in the Garden, and contribute his fight er entire purse to the Damon Runyon Memorial Cancer Fund. Williams Responsible For Loss Hickman New York CP) Ike Williams is the fighter of the year and Rocky Casteliani the Rookie of 1948 in the annual ratings of Ring Magazine. Both awards were announced yesterday in a copyright story appearing in the February' issue of Ring which reports an "empha tic rally" by the sport.

Editor Nat Fleischer rates boxing still for below its pre-war level but finds hope in the influx of new and numerous title shifts of '48. Williams took No. 1 honors on the strength of three defenses of his lightweight championship and seven other victories, his rating was based on the caliber of his opponents as he took on the best mc-n in his division. Led la Dcft-usi-M Challengers Kririque Uolanos of Los Angeles, Beau Jack of Augusta, and Jesse Flores of Stockton, were beaten by Williams who led all champs in defenses. There were 11 world championship fights during the year with every titleholder, except flyweight Rjnty Monaghan of Belfast, risking his crown.

The Marcel Cerdan-Tony Zale brawl at Jersey City in which the Frenchman knocked out Zale to take the middleweight crown to Europe was rated the fight of the year. Off his performance in that exciting battlj, Ccixlan also was given the Nat Fleischer Medal for an outstanding performance in 1948. Round of the year was the 11th between Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott at the Yankee Stadium when the Brown Bomber struck with his pro-war fury to knock out Walcott. Louis' 25th defense was his only start of the year. Louis, Williams and Welter weight King Ray Robinson are listed as standouts in their classes in the annual year end rankings of all division.

Among the heavyweights, Louis still remains in a class by himself. It is interesting to note that the last three "Fighters of the Year" all lost their championship in 1948. Willie Pep, named in 1945, was stopped by Sandy Saddler, New York Negro, an event rated by Ring as the "surprise of the year." Tony Zale was beaten by Cerdan, a lew months after he had regained the title from Rocky Graziano at Jersey City. Zale was fighter of the year in 1946. Gus Lesnevich, the 1947 standout, knocked out Billy Fox in one defense of his light heavyweight crown but later lost it to Freddy Mills of England.

Casteliani Knnkie Casteliani took the rookie award after a tight battle with several contenders. The rangy Luzerne, middleweight moved into the main go ranks by winning seven straight fights since Jan. 15. He has lost only once in 27 starts to Billy Kilroy, a decision he later re versed. He was fighting in 1947 but did not become a star ntfrac Hon until '48, hence the rookie title.

Lee Sala, unbeaten middleweight from Donora, might have been ranked ahead of Casteliani but for a disappointing winning perform ance against Reuben Jones of Norfolk, 'at St. Nicholas Arena Roland La Starza, unbeaten Bronx heavyweight, was ranked high among the prospects as was Rocky Marciano, a Brockton, heavy. Other rookies considered for the honor won by Laverne Roach last year were Sylvester Perkins of Chicago and Harold Johnson of Philadelphia, light heavyweights Sala, Joey de John of Syracuse. Jimmy Herring and Jimmy Flood, both of New York, middleweights; Eugene Hairston of New York and Lester Fenton of Detroit, welter weights; Del Flanagan of St. Paul and Billy Murphy of New York' lightweight; i Grid Strength New York UP It either the South or North produces a better brand of college football than the other, the first two games of the holiday "Bowl seaeon" failed to prove it.

A team of hand-picked stars from above the Mason-Dixon Line took the field at Montgomery, Sat urday and defeated an all-star Southern aggregation, 19-13, in the annual renewal of the Blue-Gray game. But a few hours later a collec tion of star players gathered from all over Dixie leveled matters by thumping Northern representatives in the North-South charity game at Miami's Orange Bowl, 24-14. Some more fuel to the long- winded argument over sectional su premacy, of course, will be added this week when 18 Bowl games will be played at scattered points. Veto Kissell, hard-running Holy Cross fullback, furnished most of the momentum for the Blues tri umph over the Grays at Montgom ery. Grays Seoro Alter Fumble He emashed out 63 yards in 14 running attempts to share offensive honors with George Guerre, 157-pound scatback from Michigan State.

Ed Finn of Brown was the Blues' passing specialist and he outshone the Grays' aerial ace, Bobby Thomason of Virginia Military Academy. The Gravs srot both their touch downs after enemy fumbles. Huey Keeney of Rice tamed tne Tirsi from tho two-vard line in the first period. Russell Inman of Auburn scored the other in the third arter snatching a loose football. The Blues scored twice in the second period on passes by Finn a nine-yarder to end Robert Heck of Purdue and a 22-varder to Kis- sell.

Wisconsin's Wally Dreyer plunged over from the two in tne fourth period for the clincher. Blanda Stars tor South At Miami. Georee Blanda of Kentucky led the Southerners to a last half rally that netted tnree touchdowns and a field goal. Tex Furse of Yale, passing, and Frank Lovuolo of St. Bonaventure, receiving, set up the first touch down for the North and scored it on a two-yard heave in the opening period.

Furse also tossed a pass good for 51 yards to Jim Dieckleman of Holy Cross for the North's other score in the final period. In between, the South ran up three touchdowns on a 70-yard sprint by Navy's Pistol Pete Wil liams, a 16-yard run lay Lynn Chewning of Hampden-Sydney and a one-yard smash by Frank Zleglcr of Georgia Tech. Blanda kicked a 30-yard Held goal for the final points with less than two minutes left in tne game. Williams Selected Fighter of '48 Miami -CP) Coach Herman Hickman of Yale yesterday attri buted his North eleven's 24-to-14 defeat by the South in the Orange Bowl Saturday night to Pete Williams 70-yard touchdown run. "That run broke our backs," he said.

"Until Williams got away in the third quarter we had the game under control." Coach Andv Gustafson of Miami, the winning mentor, couldn't praise the Navy back's performance too highly. "I certainly liked Pete running, he said. "Although they had been treated pretty roughly, my players were confident at halftlme that they could win. And Pete showed them how to do it in hurry." Hickman conceded that fumbles by the North on the one and two yard lines in the first hair probably detjrlved his club of a victory, but added, "It's part of the game and you have to expect fumbles in most all-star games." The Mahi Shrine's Chanty all- star fray was largely a story of the South's backfleld speed master ing the North amazing passing attack. Guided by Williams and Missis-sinni's Dixie Howell, the South gained 307 yards rushing.

The loser's running attack produced only 27 yards.

As was the case when Connie Mack broke up his championship athletics, followers of Dobie's teams at the University of Washington became sated with success.

The monotony of winning was such there from 1908 through 1916 that attendance dropped off. His dire predictions concerning coming games predictions that earned him the nickname of Gloomy Gil were taken with the proverbial grain of salt, but those close to him always maintained he was sincere in his statements. He realized that nothing is certain in a football game.
