We agree with Sidney that Big Bill or Vinnie would make admirable leaders, but for the life of us we can't see why the United States Davis cup squad, as it now stands, needs any leading while abroad.

W. CALHOUN The 1935 professional football season climaxed by Detroit's 26 tc 7 victory over the New Yorlc Giants for the National leagu championship provided the ever growing army of postgraduate gridiron fans with some thrillin? engagements and held the interest of the sport world right up to th titular tilt. Close races featured both divisions of the league although the Western circuit provided most ef the fireworks as Detroit, Green Bay and the two Chicago club, Cardinals and Bears, were so evenly matched that first place was not decided until the last Tonleht's Games Oshkosh at Green Bay West.

They've been over there enough times to know all the answers.

Allison and Wood and Van Hyn have played abroad almost as much as they have at home. Wimbledon, by now, should be almost as familiar as Forest Hills. And they certainly shouldn't need any pointers on how to play the opposition. If Fred Perry, Bunny Austin, Pat Hughes, Rodcrich Mcn.el GREEN BAY El GIANTS GIANTS For the last time before the holidays, Green Bay high school basketball teams will engage in Fox River Valley conference competition tonight. West will entertain the powerful Oshkosh Indians here, while East will travel to Manitowoc for a tussle with another contending five.

West, which 'made a fine showing at Sheboygan in the conference opener last week, will have to do even better to dent the game of the regular schedule between the Cards and Bears. New York Held Top In the Eastern sector New York held full sway although at times it looked as if Brooklyn or possibly Pittsburgh might catch up with Steve Owens' fast-traveling Giants. It was a season of surprises, and this tended to increase the patronage at the gate. Inclement weather jinxed a number of clubs in the record of Oshkosh tonight, as the Kiif JO 'vz and Baron Von Cramm still have styles which puzzle our players, then we might as well give our players up as hopeless and direct their talents into new, and simpler, fields. It isn't logical to expect a Davis cup captain to make much change in the style of a player in the short training period abroad.

When a man makes the team his game is pretty well set for life. Any sudden changes are more likely to hurt than improve. Even if the change Is a sound one, the player doesn't have time to become accustomed to It. Shields' Style Chawred We remember the case of Frank Shields and Captain R. Norris latter team, with Appleton, is rated the team to beat for the 1936 championship.

Oshkosh has a big, rugged, experienced squad, against which the smaller Wildcats are likely to have much trouble. The West spirit has never been better, however, and Coach Glenn Evjue is looking for no runaway. Seeks 55th Win West is seeking its 55th victory against conference opposition, the competition dating back to 1923, when the circuit was --formed.

The Wildcat cause was struck a blow yesterday when Norman Wilquet, guard who performed excellently against Sheboygan, acquired a sprained ankle and went on the shelf.

Bill Pickett, Appleton, will referee and A. J. Armstrong, Menasha, will umpire. West has had no easy time against Oshkosh teams in the past, and tonight is expected to be no exception. Since 1923 the Wildcats and Indians have met 18 times, with only seven victories going to West.

At the end of the season West awarded 22 letters to the Wildcat athletes, and elected John Laison honorary captain. East gave letters to 17, naming Loyal Plinske as its leader. final dish to Pennantville but at that, according to Joe F. Carr, president of the league, attendance advanced several notches over other years. Detroit got off to a wobbly start but Coach Potsy Clark got his squad clicking in championship form early in November and tho Lions "roared" on to a justly deserved pennant.

The Giants found the Western division teams tough picking but molded together quite a string of wins at the expense of the other elevens in the Eastern sector. Green Bay in Race Green Bay was very much the race all season but the Chicago Cardinals had the hoodoo sign on the Bays as Coach Curly Lambcau's eleven dropped three games to the Windy City gridders, dooming Green Bay's play-off hopes. The Chicago Bears had their troubles from the opening gun and not until the final tilt with the Cards did the Halas-men tak a game from a Western division machine. Bronko Nagurski's hospital stay was costly to the Bears. Milan Creighton and his Chicago Cards put several dents in the dope bucket.
