Well, they're just prelim boys, my friends, just prelim boys. Your correspondent is the guy who walked up to Coach Steve Owen of the New York football Giants today and asked: "How do you think your guys are going to do against the Chicago Bears next Sunday?" If you don't think this makes! those historical heroes look like muggs, just realize popping that question at Owen is equivalent to asking a guy to his own funeral.

Steve made the sorry mistake of bringing most of his boys to the windy city last Sunday to watch Chicago rout Green Bay, 33 to 14, in what was supposed to be a playoff game.

Ole Miss' annual intra-mural night was held last night with two boxing exhibitions, two pig-pong matches, and a basketball game.

Participants were selected from fraternity and other intra-mural teams. Lyn Marbury, 140 pounds, whipped Marshall Adams, 135 pounds, in a grudge fight resulting from a draw bout which was stopped in last year's intra-mural program. Marbury won by decision, winning all three rounds. In the second bout Johnny Kirk and Ely Stickney fought three rounds to a draw. Kirk weighed 150, Stickney 145.

Charles Daly, in a challenge ping-pong exhibition, beat Doug Kenn aof Jackson 19-21, 21-14. 22-20. Jay Cohen of New York held the school ping-pong championship by taking Earl Basinsky of Vicksburg in two games 23-21 and 22-20. Cohen won the school title last year, and Basinsky was runner-up. The intra-mural all-stars, composed of one man from each team represented In the Ole Miss intramural council, won from the freshman basketball team 43-40.

The game was tied, 14-14, at the half, but the all-stars took the lead In the third quarter, and held it throughout the game. Scoring honors were spli between Robert Wilkes of Helena, Ark. and Jake Propst of Columbus of the all-stars, and Vfcitey Grovo as his partner. Cecil McGill.

Zeno was one of the '41 grldmen mentioned by the Johnnv Rebs in their selections, and in a selection made by the Ole Miss coaching staff, the players and their tutors coincided on seven of the first team members, and on 18 of the 22-man squad each selected.

The players named Frankie Sinkwich of Georgia as the best back faced all year, selected Tulane as the best team played and Louisiana State as the hardest hitting team.

The Bears can be scored on if you can get the jump on them. They have to be throttled hard in the first half and if you can do it and get out in front of them, you can beat them.

17 (B Forget for the moment the football season Is just over and think of the three men whose names were most prominent in sports news in 1941. You'll probably come up with names of the athletes who were listed 1-2-3 by 82 sports experts participating in the annual associated press poll. They were Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Joe Louis. DiMaggio's name appeared first on 42 ballots and either second or third on 20 others as tribute to his record-smashing feat of hitting in 56 consecutive American League games and leading the New York Yankees to the pennant and the world championship. His tremendous margin over Williams, who won the American League batting championship with a .406 average and the home run title as well, is due, perhaps, to jolting Joe's ability to lift the entire Yankee team me former la back in shape and la a fine defensive back while the speedy Franck believes his injured pelvis will be sufficiently improved JLl0W hhn to steP town.
