REGION ONE GRID CROWN ON LINE TODAY PAGE SSTVBJNTEBtf Arizona- Star Grown; Davis Finiskes on Top in Rushing NEW YORK, Deo, 11 Enke, Jr. of the University of was the nation's 1947 leader in total offense, Wilton "Hook" Davis of Hflrdln-Simmons captured the ball-carying championship and Charles Conerly of Mississippi was the forward passing king, the National Collegiate Bureau announced today. Enke, who started the season as a bench warmer, wound up with the second highest mark in total offense in collegiate football history.

Enke is the son of the Arizona chief football scout and basketball coach. Despite ranking 12th in the country as a passer In 1946, he wasn't even listed as a starter in his school's gridiron brochure this fall. But he proved to be the year's most consistent gainer, and i ished with a rush against Marquette, Kansas nnd Utah to sail past Oonerly leader for aeven consecutive weeks with yards via rushing and pawing' in his 10 games. Conerly, the forward passing leader with 133 completions, second in total offense with 1,784 rushing md passing- yards. Enke got little or no recognition until his sensational showing against Kansas, th- Big Six co-champion, where he collected 364 yards for the season's second high one-game total.

Bobby Gage of Clemson was high with against Auburn. In his finale against Utah, Rocky Mountain champion, ht collected another 169 yards to wrest honors from Oonerly and rank second to record-holder Prankle Sinkwich of Gorgia, who compiled 2,187 yards in 1942, Conerly, too, rushed and passtd for a greater yardage 1,784 -than anyone since Sinkwich. His figure is seventh high in National Athletic Bureau hit- tory, being Hiivpassed only by Bud Bohwonk, Washington University (St. Louis) yards, in 1941; Davie O'Brien, Texas Christian, 1,847 in Bill Dudley, Virginia, 1,824 In, 1941, and Sink- wich again in 1941, 1,784. Davis, in leading the ball-carriers, amassed 1,173 yards 193 tries.

Thus a Hardin-Simmons grld- led the country in rushing ior ihe school's third consecutive playing season. Rudy "Little Doc" Mobley had a record 1,281 In 1942 and when he and Hardin- Simmons resumed football in 1948 after thf war hr led with 1,262. Twxas oollegt football players ranking with the top men in total offense and rushing were: Davis, Vardln-Simmons, sixth IM total offenst with 1,190 yards; Bobby Layne, Texas, 12th with Doak Walker, Southern Methodist, 15th with 997; Smith, Texas Mines, seventh in rushing with 742 yards; Walker, iflth with 661; Fred Wamlt, Texas' Mines.

Irish, Rangers In Top Condition For Pampa Feud By FHANK OODSOE, JR, Clnss football bows out today in glltiioi'ing finale, storting at 2:30 o'clock on Harvester Field in Pampa. It's the regional championship game between the Perryton Rangers ftnrt Ihn Shamrock Irish, Perryton hasn't been In the title-round--since 1939 ami It will be Shamrock's first trip 1933. There have been aome fair teams In Perryton, since the 1939 team took the regional title, but this is first time the football, harvest hftfl been as lucrative as the Ochll- troo County crop, The Bangers will outer the contest as narrow favorites, figured from one to two touchdown, though there nre wome who cater to the theory that con version points will decide It, contest will feature Pon-ytoh's down-the-mlddle punch agnhist a decided Shamrock edge in backfleld speed. The teams will average nearly the same in weight, The Rangers own 11 consecutive wins this season and boast a string of 13 triumphs in a row, two of them at the expense of approximately the fmme eleven that will Htart today for the Irish of Scott McCall, Perryton defeated Shamrock 19-13 last November In the final for both then Sflpl. JO In the Mwontl part of this campaign, by a 20-0 count, The Rangers deploy from the single wingback and short punt formations.

Shamrock runs from the as it's formation and has some stuff from single wing, going both ways. Both teams are in good physical condition, coming through last week's bi-district encounters with only a few bumps and bruises, Perryton had a surprisingly tough time defeating Canyon 25-6 on a soggy field at Perryton. Shamrock breezed by Paducah after the first quarter, scoring three times in the second and once in the third period. Back Vernon- flowers," out for week.s following an appendectomy, will strengthen the Rangers, He played some against the Eagles last Friday wasn't in top-form. Coaches Floyd Murry and Lewis i ho'll have his timing right for this one.

Flowers, cousin of Keith, the scoring: Hanger whirlwind who has 159 points, was one of the more effective Ranger running backs during the first half of the imm- palgn, almo.st matching Keith's touchdown production. The game will end the season, since the A platoons won't begin their playoff plan to establish a state -title until next season. It would be interesting to see how far Shamrock or Perryton would go had the plan been put into effect during the current campaign. Cheyenne Runs In Supporting Match ftalph Jones' black stallion Cheyenne, a two-year-old who In unbeaten In four starts here, will run against Nancy Clegg, vic- In four of five trials, in one of the supporting: matr.hen on Sunday afternoon's quarter- horse rnolng meet at the Amarillo Speed Bowl straightaway, it was announced yesterday. Feature event of the Sunday program Is a 200-yard duel between owned by Childere, and a "mystery horse" to be brought here by Butch Whartoij of Pampa.

Wharton has agreed that his unknown entry will "daylight" McPeters for a $10,000 purse, largest in local racing history. Cheyenne and Nancy Clegg are matched for 2Bo yards. Nancy 1 Oiegg, recently purchased by Jack Punderburg from L. A. Decker, has been improving steadily and might be a slight favorite.

The two horses never have met before, since Cheyenne's owner previously thought young black might be too young nnd inexperienced to compete against an older mare with Nancy Clegg's speed. Amarillo horsemen now claim that the Speed Bowl track, -a'-quarter-mile south of Canyon highway on Bowie, is the 'best anrt fastest in the Southwest, not even excepting the one at Tucson, where the world's fastest quarter horses perform. There wlll be at least seven good races on the Sunday eard, it's promised. Were Qathered by Accident DALLAS, Dec, 11 Coach Matty Bell of Southern Methodist said today he had enough Information on Perm Setate to know his Mustang's will really have to hump it 1 to have a chance the Eastern powerhouse. Most of this information was accidental.

Matty's scout really was looking over Pittsburgh when Pitt played Penn State Nov. 22 and Southern Methodist had no idea it would be meeting the latter in a bowl game. At that time SMU still had Baylor and Texas Christian to play and Penn State hadn't entered into any Cotton Bowl conjecture. The. scout, Clinton "Red" MoClain, had been told to chart both teams.

He paid mast attention, however, to Pittsburgh, a team that meets Southern Methodiafc in the opening game next fall. Bus McClain brought back reports that Penn had great running game, a mighty line and could pass with the best of them if necessary. Bell gets a little nettled when they try to tell him Penn didn't play a strong schedule. "West Virginia and Navy are darn good football teams," he said.
