jNifty, Eh? Dodgers' Proxy Buying His Way To '41 Pennant Blake of Columbia Won His Coaching Berth With Squad Of Only 12 Scrawny Youths On The Line with Considine CLARION-LEDGER, 4tt to the let tieVhips Fail 1 i A) There are sports fans aplenty in Jackson who doubt that football is worth all the space we scribblers accord it, they are your dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans, and they are all happy today over the news from Atlanta that the Southeastern has every prospect of operating next season on an 8-club loop. Meridian is far from out of the picture, and a Florida town reasonably close to Pensacola' is in prospect if the Metro city folds. Anniston is pepped up by the great influx of soldiers there, and is believed set for a big: year. Johnny Gooch, former Pittsburgh scout, and Ban Ganzel, former Selma manager, later St, Paul skipper in AA ball will be managers shcs mad at Mls9 Miss Annie Louise Mounger, pretty Columbia High school student, will lead the Wildcat band in the role of drum majorette when Marion county's delegation arrives here Friday for the Lion's Bowl classic. Don't forget to look at the band, too, boys.

(Editor's note: This highly interesting story on Coach George Clinton Blake of Col-lumbia High, whose team plays Newton High in the Lions' Bowl here Friday night, was written by the editor of the Columbia Prints, student publication of Columbia High.) By CAROL ELLZEY When "Dump" Burnett left Columbia High School in 1934 many of our supporters thought that the Wildcats had lost all, but subsequent events and the passing of years have proved that this was not ture. His final team in our city was composed, for the most part, of seniors who had played together for several seasons, dealing out misery to almost every opponent they met. So it was only natural for Burnett's resignation to be viewed with misgivings, if not downright alarm, when the news became public. Realizing their responsibility in this matter, the Columbia school board refused to be stampeded into action over this seemingly irreparable loss, feeling, no doubt, that no one individual is indispensible on either a school faculty or a football team. To obtain the services of a coach who would be capable would be difficult, but as in many things of life, our problems will often solve themselves if left alone, and this is the attitude our officials took of this affair.

Burnett had agreed not to terminate his contract until the end of the school year, and went about his duties as head of athletics. There was a vacant Friday night on the Wildcat's schedule just before their final, and what was thought to be their hardest, game. In order to keep the team on edge, Varnado, a small neighboring, cross-roads town, located near the state line in Louisiana, was invited to take this fill-in date. Although this team had not been scouted, it was felt that it would serve to give our boys some much needed practice, but you can hardly imagine Burnett's surprise when only twelve scrawny, poorly equipped players appeared on the field to play the highly touted and much feared Columbia Wildcats. Burnett Disturbed Just before the game started, Burnett became so disturbed over the prospects of the contest that he marched across the playing field to the visiting team for introductions, and when told that his opposing mentor's name was Blake he remarked out of the side of his mouth to those accompanied him, "Not Blake, it surely must be Blank for no sane coach in the world could expect to play a football game with only twelve men." Blake's keen sense of hearing caught these caustic words, that were not meant for his ears, and he informed Burnett that the rules only granted him the privilege of placing eleven men on the field.

Not yet satisfied that the spectators were going to get their money's worth, "Dump" asked, VWhatare you gping to do after three or four of your men get the wind knocked out of them stop the game?" By this time Mr. Blake had become somewhat nettled and rose to feet to confront his questioner, remarking in an even voice, "Sir, my players have courageous- and they are asking no quarter at 9431 BELCO Now On Display Big Money Value Liberal Trade-In Allowance Auto Electric Service 152 E.

i' 1 I ATLANTA, Dec. 4 (INS) President Larry MacPhail of the Brooklyn Dodgers today sought with feverish anxiety and an unlimited bankroll to win the 1941 National league pennant. What's more if they don't watch him he will do it. He had a deal on the fire today that will bring a pitcher from the Chicago Cubs to the Dodgers and that could be the pennant without further ado. All the Dodgers need is a little more and that is what they are seeking here at the annual meeting of the minor leagues.

The point seems to be that the Dodgers must not be overlooked. They had a good second place club last season, and already have added Kirby Higbe to the pitching staff by virtue ot a deal with the Philadelphis Phillies. All they need now is another pitcher of two and MacPhail is working on that. In the meantime, the St. Louis Browns announced that they had obtained Fritz Ostermueller and Denny Galehouse from the Boston Red Sox in a straight cash transaction.

In elaborating on that, President Donald Barnes of the Browns said: "We have no way of knowing how much these players will help us, but all we need to get in that first division race next season is pitching and that, is what we are going after." This presaged more deals for the Browns before this session is over if the Browns can strike a bargain with somebody. Other club3 are in the midst of negotiations that might change the entire baseball map, everything depending upon what happens in the next few days. Rumors are flying around so thick that there is no chance of catching up with them. The only thing anybody can do Is to sit back and see what will happen. One of the features of today's program is the opening of the minor league meeting.

This ordinarily is insignificant, but this time may be important, especially in the light of the announcement that Commissioner Landis will address the gathering and probably tell them off. Purdue Real Hard-Luck 11 Over Season NEW YORK, Dec. 4 Probing through an entire football season in quest of the "most spectacular play" is a little like trying to identify the handsomest pig in a litter. Too many hairraising cidents occurred on the nation's gridirons in the last three months to be absolutely certain which was the outstanding stunner. But there is less difficulty in putting a finger on the team that was the unwilling victim of the most spectacular string of bad breaks in recent football history.

Things happened to Purdue that shouldn't happen to a dog. The boilermakers lost three big-nine contests in the last half -minute of play, turning what would have been a fair season into a nightmare. And, to make things complete, they were beaten in one of these by an ineligible opposing player. Purdue first suspected things were not going so good when, with the score tied 14-14 and 19 seconds left to play, Charley Maag of Ohio State beat them with a field goal. It susbsequently was discovered that Maag was in the game illegally.

Against Wisconsin, the Boilermakers were leading 13 to 7 with six seconds to go and the ball on their own 35, when Wisconsin threw a desperate final pass. Ray Kreick caught it on the 10 and ran across as the gun fired, the extra point was kicked and Wisconsin won, 14-13. The final blow came against Indiana, where, the count 0-0 and 13 seconds remaining. Gene White of the Hoosiers kicked a 20-yard field goal. Purdue wound up with a record of two victories and six defeats, victims of 38 misspent seconds.

However, most of the spectacular plays were on the brighter side. Long Run The longest run recorded in a survey by the Associated Press was made by Jimmy Powers of temple university, when he caught the opening kick-off against Michigan State and returned it 105 yards for a touchdown. Chuck Peters of Penn State and Pat Reen of Florida each knocked off runs of 101 yards on kick-offs, Jim Jur-kovich of California intercepted a Southern Cal pass and raced it back 100 yards to score. Bill Dudley of Virginia ran a kick-off back 87 yards through mighty Tennessee for a touchdown but he probably got his biggest thrill when he learned it was the first time this ever had been done to a team coached by Major Bob Neyland. Bruce Smith practically sewed up the big nine title for Minnesota with his 80-yard run that beat Michigan, 7 to 6.

Incidentally, this was only the second touchdown scored by running against Michigan all season. Hahnenstein of Northwestern scored the other on an 80-yard sprint. Jack Robinson of U.C.L.A. had one of the biggest afternoons in helping lick Washington State, 34 to 26. He made touchdown runs of 75 and 61 yards, passed to another score and booted four extra points.

Nice Gallop Tommy Harmon, the Michigan great, returned California's opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown and later tore off runs of 86 and 70 yards through the groggy Bears. George Franck, fleet Minnesota back, overcame a Washington lead in opening game by taking the ensuing kickoff and skipping 99 yards. Other spectacular bits of running noted in the survey, some of them game winners, were contributed by Noah Mullin of Kentucky, 98 and 95 yards; Leo Stasica, Colorado, 97; Bill Geyer, Colgate, 97 and Preston Johnson, S. M. 92.

Stanley Stitt of Bethany made the longest reported run with an. intercepted pass, 94 yards, and Preston Johnson of S. M.U. probably set the season's punting record when he got one off against Pitta burgh that rolled. 92 yards PAGE FIFTEEN line, State line last season and the av erage gain was omy 1.3 jarcis per try.

Dec. 4 (INS) Although the bowl situation seems to be quite well taken care of, with the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Sun Bowl and Orange Bowl set for football's final stir, it Is possible yet another bowl game may be in order. That would be the Mourners Bowl game between Notre Dam and Ohio State on New Year's Day to decide which team would drown its sorrows as the largest flop of 1940. This game would be a natural. Both teams have expert punters who could specialize laying down the ball in the coffin corner.

Music by the bands would ba dealt out in dirge fashion. The officials would be toftged out like undertakers. Under no consideration would the game get under way until tha two teams could hear a pin drop. Unanimous choice for referee would be none other than "Red" Frissell, who has caused so many tears to be shod this season. (Remember Dar thmoutn-Cornell Special privileges for covering the game would be limited to those experts who picked the Irish to be the team of the year, and the Buckeyes to win the Western conference title again.

The receiver hesitated momentarily, until his interference could gather sufficient momentum and then started "packing the He sidestepped the first tackier, stiff armed the next and completely ran over the third landing on the mid-field stripe.

Before the game was three minutes old Columbia was back on Its own five yard line fighting desperately to defend its goal. Our supporters were now as silent as the Sphinx for in the brief period of the time Varnado had done everything but make a touchdown and swallow the ball. The line held and Columbia kicked to the fifty yard line, only to have the receiver squirm and twist his way back through the entire Wildcat team until the ball was again within a few yards of the goal. Thus the game continued until the last few minutes of play. Here our boys took the offensive and by sheer "nigger luck" and a fluke play were able to score a touchdown.

Snakes In Pond At this juncture of the game, pandemonium broke loose in our bleachers, and Coach Burnett began to pace up and down the sidelines like a wild animal suddenly released from its cage, unfettered and unconfined. Although battered and torn, out players were now in a frenzy of joy, but were being regarded by their coach In the same spirit of mingled pride and terror that a hen views her ugly duckling that has just pushed off for a swim in a deep, black, snaky pond. Burnett's plays were not 'clicking" as expected, but due to the excitement of the moment he did not know whether to praise or to criticize his men. What had been scheduled as a "breather" was turning out to be a whale of a contest real dog fight. The Columbia players were battered and bruised, and Burnett had been forced to use his entire reserve strength about twenty-five in number to stem the tide.

Nothing short of a cyclone could have been placed him in a worse position for his final game, and he began to chide himself for being a "chump" and at the same time thinking of the deserved criticism that would be heaped upon his head by the trustees for not having more information about the team that he had invited for this bit of practice. Fortunately Neville Rankin, chairman of the City school board attended the game that night, and during all this excitement he was screaming words of encouragement to our players like a wild Creek Indian fresh from the Florida everglades. Suddenly he became silent and turned to his companions and asked, "Who is that gink" down there on the bench sitting all hunched-up like an amphibious guadruped? Ice water must be running full tilt through his viens for he has neither moved nor uttered a sound during this game?" When informed that the object of his quest was the visiting coach, Neville almost exploded and these words literally somersaulted into space, "I am going to hire that fellow for Columbia if it takes all of the resources of the Citizen's Bank, including the capital stock." Didn't Need Him! The contest waxed furious In the closing moments of play, not unlike so many wildcats tied together and unable to gain their freedom, but Neville sat in deep meditation, visualizing, perhaps, just how he would build a bigger and better team for dear old CHS. Silently he walked down to the bench, unnoticed. The game ended and George Clinton, ex-Tulane gridder, now Columbia's promising new coach, rose from his feet and carefully readjusted his choice cud of chewing gum on which he had been ruminating for- many hours, and as he and his players triumphantly left the field, he turned sympathetically to his lone substitute, and said.

"The army is going to have a splendid sports program, and the AAU stands ready to assist. Why, there are going to be hundreds of athletes coming out of the sticks who will develop into top notch stars in the Army camps.

And if it wasn't for the draftthese youths would probably stay in the sticks forever, undeveloped, and unknown." Ferris recalled that during World War No. 1 American doughboys per fected their throwing arms on army baseball diamonds, and then went overseas to throw "perfect strikes" with hand grenades, much to the astonishment of their European allies and foes, alike. "During the last war," Ferris recounted, "most colleges suspended their athletic programs. But they found out that they made a mistake, and many of them resumed sports before the war ended. If we get into this war, I don't think any college will curtail its athletic schedule." Ferris came to Denver for the AAU's.
