27 Writ's not, you understand, that U. C. L. Bruins don't trust people. Or that they'd even infer that anyone would try to slip something by them.

Frankie Sinkwich may have a bad ankle. He may have two bad ankles. Well-informed Georgians say it's so. But the Bruins and a lot of the expected spectatorsare reserving Judgment until midafternoon or thereabouts Jan. 1.

The memory of "Terrible Tommy" Roblin is too fresh. Bruins ite member Roblin Up in Oregon, before the Web-foots handed the Bruins their only conference pasting of the season, 14-7, the team collectively was moved almost to tears by the sight of a brawny figure limping disconsolately about the campus. He was pointed out as fullback Tommy Roblin and wasn't it too bad that he had to miss this crucial game, because with him in the lineup Oregon might have a chance? But miracles of modern medicine being what they are. Roblin not only was in the lineup that Saturday afternoon, he was in the Bruins' hair from start to finish. His 5.3 yard per play average, all hands agreed, was right fair.

Yet even if Sinkwich's ailing extremities do respond to treatment, and he's in shape to stage another Fred Naumetz, Gil Bouley and Charley Furbush (left to right), Boston College football players, get ready to give teammate Red Mangene a ducking in the ocean at Miami, as they take time off from practice for the Orange Bowl football game Jor a December dip.

Despite several brief rallies by tl Sallies, St Thomas set the pace the way. The Tommies were in fro: 22 to 10 at the half, and led 31-10 the end of the third quarter.

Sallies Rally Salesianum made a vain effort get back in the game in the la period, and outscored the Tommi 11-4. However, the Sals couldr knock down the Bears' early lead. St Thomas More served notice what was to come when it romp off to an early lead in the fir period and then quickly fattened 1 advantage. Joe Byrne, high-scoring forwai of the Bears, was the mainstay it first-half splurge. He collect nine points in this stretch wit three field goals and the same nun ber of fouls.

Ehlers, president of the Inter-State Baseball League, said today he had received no definite commitments from any major league clubs to back York or Reading, in the circuit next season. He also branded as ridiculous reports that the Hagerstown franchise would be transferred to Salisbury because of poor attendance last year. The Hagerstown club, 1942 pennant winners, independently owned by Oren Sterling, drew the second largest attendance in the loop last season, Ehlers said, with 86,000 persons paying to see them play at home.

This figure was topped only by Wilmington which drew 127,000 patrons at home. Ehlers said he had made contacts with all major league clubs in his efforts to expand the loop to eight teams and all told him the same thing "wait until January or February when we find out what is foingto happen other Class B. He indicated that if the big league teams lost farms in other loops folding up for the duration, they might be interested in Inter-State berths. Philadelphia sources last week reported that the Boston Red Sox were considering adding York to their farm system and the Washington Senators were interested in Reading.

Ehlers, president of the Inter-State League, regarding a Philadelphia report that the Hagerstown franchise will be shifted to Salisbury because of poor attendance. Ehlers brands the statement as rediculous which it probably is. In two seasons since shifting from Sunbury, where he started in 1939, Owner Oren E. Sterling has had the second best attendance in the league both years, going over 80,000 in 1942. and that's good business in any Class league.

Actually. Hagerstown has to bow only to Wilmington from the standpoint of attendance, and it's hardly likely Sterling would even think of moving from a spot where he is well established and has the fine cooperation of city officials and the press. GEORGE FALLON may succeed Benny Borgmann as pilot of the Allentown Fleetwings for the 1943 season. According to reports, Alvin Butz, head of the Allentown club, has requested the St. Louis Cardinals to name Fallon manager if he is available.

Fallon played second base for Allentown in the New York-Penn League in 1935 and 1936, and was recalled from their Rochester International League farm last fall. ELECTION of Jimmy McGonegal 9 to head the C. Y. O. Basketball I League was a wise move on the part of the sponsors of the circuit.

Jimmy has been identified with the came as player, coach and manager for many seasons and knows the local basketball situation from top to bottom. Although the C. Y. O. League appears to have had some trouble in rounding out an eight-club circuit and getting under full steam this year, with Jimmy at the helm the loop should be headed for another successful season despite the loss of many top-ranking players to the armed forces.

rXDOTBALL fans who remember the fine Chesrook teams of other years learned with deep regret on Saturday of the death of Francis D. Alexander, former Wilmington High, St. John's College and Chesrook line star. 'Big Aleck" as he was known to his many friends, played a great game at tackle for St. John's being chosen for the All-Maryland team while a student at the Annapolis school.

A player at Wilmington High School and with various local teams and later a Catholic League official, Fritz writes: "I'm a long way from Wilmington but I can't seem to get away from the basketball courts.

The French seem to have gone in for basketball in a big way and in the place I'm berthed there are several of which our boys are making use."

1 in the Sugar Bowl tennis tournament andj apparently still trying to reach New Orleans from New York, received a break from the weather today when! the singles quarter-finals and semi-! finals and the doubles semi-finals! were postponed until tomorrow. But Ensign Schroeder, National Amateur champion and defending Sugar Bowl king, still has hard work on his hands. Barring setbacks, his over-all task tomorrow included a minimum of 60 games, three singles matches and a pair of doubles. Having missed Saturday's opener because of crowded travel facilities, he must dispose of Chicago's Jim Evert, first-round opponent, then get past Earl Bartlett, of Tulane to enter the afternoon semi-final. Likely to oppose him in that bracket is Bill Talbert, No.

5 amateur in the nation, a slender Cin-cinnatian who defeated Schroeder this year at Newport Which is only the half of it. Glum tennis fans here today were willing to bet a wet dollar bill against a rusty nickel that Ecuador's tireless little Francisco Segura would be waiting for Schroeder in the final Tuesday. Yesterday Segura stroked California Glenn Gardner off the court, dropping only one game. He then doubled up with Dick Hainline of Rock Island, I1L. to defeat Roy Bartlett of Tulane and Ted Backe of the University of Pennsylvania, 6-1, 6-1.

Segura and Hainline are favored in the doubles over Talbert and Ensign Charles Mattman of New York. Jack Tuero of Memphis and Bartlett. Jr, also are in the semi-final running. Their opposition depends on what happens when Schroeder teams with Billy Rafferty of Washington, D. in the delayed first-round test against Evert and En sign Jack Cushingham of the Pensa-cola Naval Training Station, a MMY M'GONEGAL une uiat, snauerea a deadlock.

Dudley Runs 97 Yards These three points climaxed a third period of furious action that saw three touchdowns scored within six minutes, one on a sensational 97-yard run by Bill Dudley, Pittsburgh Steeler halfback, after he intercepted a pass. The Redskins, playing without their star passer, Slingin" Sammy Baugh, were outplayed most of the way, but stayed in the running until the final 30 seconds of play when Bob Masterson missed a field goal try by inches from the Ail-Star 27. Baugh failed to make airplane connections last night at Dallas, and was unable to get here in time. Bears Stand Oat Most of the action took place with nine Bear players, Artoe, Danny Fortmann, Ed Kolman, John Siegal, George Wilson, Gary Fam- igliettl, Sid Luckman, Frank Maz-nicki and Charley Drulis, in the All-Star lineup. John Petty, the tenth Bear player on the All-Star squad, also performed brilliantly.

He and Artoe threw the decisive blocks that put Dudley in the clear for his blood-warming 97-yard run that temporarily tied the score at 7-7. Feeling ran high with the Bears on the field. Savage tackling and arguments with officials characterized the Bears' play as' they gained a high measure of revenge for the 14-6 licking the Redskins administered to them two weeks ago in Washington. It was the first time since the bowl was Inaugurated in 1938 that the All-Stars have won. The Redskins ruled 9 to 5 favorites last night before it was learned Baugh would not play.

Game Grosses $75,000 The game, played for the benefit of Merchant Seamen, grossed officials announced. In addition, a total of $90,170 in war bonds was sold between the halves. This included a bid of $31,000 by Harry Orlowitz of Philadelphia for the winning football. Washington, although making only one first down in the first half, capitalized on a peculiar punt by Harry Hopp of Detroit to score midway of the opening quarter. The ball hit on the All-Star 45 and bounced back 15 yards to the 30 where Ki'Aldrich, Redskin center, picked it up and raced for the touchdown.

Masterson converted. Early in the second period the All-Stars reached the Redskin 36, only to lose the ball when Petty lost a yard on fourth Halfway through the period nine Bear players came on the field as a group and things began to happen. Lockman Sparks Drive Sparked Luckman's 18-yard pass to Bosh Pritchard of the Eagles, the All-Stars moved from their 29 to the Redskin 33, where Cecil Hare intercepted a pass to temporarily halt the advance. Roy Zimmerman punted back to the All-Star 46. Luckman promptly heaved two passes to Wilson and Siegal that made it first down on the Redskin 18.

Famiglietti, in two plays, pounded to a first down on the three. He hit off tackle on the next play and seemed headed for a touchdown, but slipped on the one. Here, with less than a minute to play in the half, the Redskins put up a stonewall defense. Luckman, on a quarterback sneak, failed to gain and Famiglietti lost half a yard on the next attempt. There was no time left to run another play.

Totals 17 6 40 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 27 U.B Coach John Bamhill and his staff were frankly worried tonight over Tennessee's chances of stopping the Tulsa Golden Hurricane air attack in the Sugar Bowl and thought about trying to counter it with of all things a passing attack of their own. If they decide to develop their overhead ability and really get results, the Sugar Bowl game here New Year's Day may turn Into first class aerial circus.

The Tulsa strength in the passing department is unquestioned. Tennessee, once defeated and once tied in the regular season but favored to win the ninth annual Sugar Bowl battle, builds its play around power on the ground, and Tulsa is working hard on a system to check the heavy-hitting Vols. Barnhill watched his Tennessee boys in a long scrimmage against duplication of the Tulsa passing methods and remarked: "I guess our best chance against Tulsa will be to fight fire with fire. We don't seem to be able to stop their passes so I guess the best thing we can do is start getting our team ready to throw a lot of passes." Tennessee's prowess in the air hasn't been anything to crow about this season but a few overheads gave the Volunteers some badly needed points. The undefeated, untied Hurricane based its offensive tops nationally on the pitching arm of All-America Glen Dobbs and his running mate, N.

A. Keithley, and on the receiving ability of at least three backs and ends. Coach Henry Frnka's Tulsa squad is working out at Bay St. Louis, Miss, and the Vols are doing their two-a-day at Edgewater Park, about 25 miles away. Tennessee has one serious injury among its players.

Bill Meek, blocking back, was out of the rough work because of an ankle Injury that might keep him out of the bowL His absence would cripple the Vol running attack. Al Sabato replaced Meek in the backfield for a long workout against Tulsa passing yesterday. Barnhill alternated two teams to drill them in defense against a team duplicat ing the Tulsa system with Junie Whitaker and R. A. Long imitating Dobbs and Keithley.

"We'll have to improve tremendously if we begin to stop the Tulsa passes," said Barnhill after it was over. Red Ruffing is Ordered To Report for Physical SANTA MONICA, Dec. 27 tU.R) Charles (Red) Ruffing, ace of the New York Yankee pitching staff for the past decade, disclosed today he has been ordered to report to his draft board tomorrow for a physical examination preparatory to induction. The 37-year-old baseball veteran is employed in an aircraft plant In Southern California during the off season from baseball. He is married but has no children.

Ruffing win be 38 years old next May. War bonds are an investment in freedom. Bible also will come to Dallas tomorrow. First workouts will be held tomorrow afternoon. There was no organized greeting for the visitors, but Tuesday both teams will be brought to the center of the business district for some speech-making.

Except for tips from traveling salesmen and transplanted alumni, Texas and Georgia Tech know nothing of each other. Neither was scouted. "The best I could get was some information from Bernle Moore, coach of Louisiana State, on Texas' style of play of a year ago when the Longhoms played L. 8. said Alexander.

Alexander said his team was in top condition except for Ralph Plaster, fullback and alternate captain, who still favors a hurt knee. of the exhibitions which earned him All-America, he'll have a husky jinx to fight off. i Tough for 'Name" Players Down through the years, the big names have often found the going too tough in the New ear's classic. Take the current series opener, between Brown and Washington State in 1916. lor example.

Brown's great Fritz Pollard was just another ball player, while a Cougar triumverate Boone, Bangs and Dietz put across a 14-0 triumph. Last year Duke's Steve Lach was overshadowed in Oregon State's 20-16 triumph by a guy most All-America pickers had never heard of. State's Southpaw Don Durdan. In between has been many an name. Remember Har vard's Eddie Casey (1920)? or Ohio; States Pete Stinchcomb (1921) Stanford's Frankie Wilton (1927) or Bobby Grayson (1934)? They're just a lew.

And ol course, tnere was California's great Benny Lom in 1929. Lom's most heroic feat was to pull down Roy Riegels a yard short of the Georgia Tech goal in the famous wrong-way gallop which made that contest, and the Engi neers' 8-7 triumph, the dramatic standout of all the series. Yessir. Frankie will need more than a pair of first class feet to get by that jinx. He'U need a grade A rabbit's foot, too.

27 (jT1) Eastern and Western football stars, who will clash New Year's Day in the annual East-West game, raced through stiff workouts today and were rewarded with a sightseeing trip. Pleased with the attacking power and pass combinations generated by a trio of Eastern backs, co-Coaches Andy Kerr of Colgate and George Hauser of Minnesota stressed defensive tactics almost exclusively. The Eastern pass throwers include Paul Govemali of Columbia, Steve Filipowicz of Fordham and Bill Daley of Minnesota. Their principal receivers have been Dave Schreiner, All-America end from Wisconsin; Bob Dove, fiankman, from Notre Dame, and Les Horvath, right halfback from Ohio State. Horvath's sensational catches, especially from Govemali, have won recognition from even such a blase veteran as Kerr.
