Thoss Indians out of the West whooped right through Biff Jones and his power machine from Nebraska 21 to 13 in the Rose Bowl to earn their place as the national leaders for 1940. It was the last touch of a master grid-machine builder, and Shaughnessy did it with expert deftness, Shaughnessy had done the best anybody could at the University of Chicago for several years after setting houses afire at Tulane and at Loyola of the South.

But nobody dreamed last September, much less the Williamson system, that Leland Stanford, under Shaughncssy's new tutelage would end up in the 1941 edition of the Rose Bowl. And yet, Mr. 6haughnessy and his Indians were right in there, with necromantic swiftness, for one of the' most remarkable tenth successive victories of any football team in ny football season.

4 (U.R1- The Missouri Athletic association today approved plans for a proposed championship fight in Kansas City between Sammy Angott of Louisville, and Qucntin "Baby" Breese of Manhattan, Kansas, for the NBA lightweight title. Breese posted a challenge with the commission and Chairman John J. Griffin of St. Louis said Joseph Triner, president of the NBA had ordered Angott to defend the title he won last May from Davey Day. The "Bundles for Britain" organiza-tlon would receive 20 per cent of the gate, with Angott getting 37i2 per cent and Breese 12 Vi- The commission also fined Eddie Mader, New York heavyweight, $50 for his disappointing showing in a Kansas City fight last night with Tony Novak and barred him from fighting for three months in the 23 states controlled by the NBA after hearing reports of the referee and two Judges the commissioners held that Mader had given an unsatisfactory performance and had clowned in the ring.

Mader, who was counted out in the second round, defended himself before the commissioners. "My face is proof I didn't take a dive," he said. "I got bumps on the back of my head, too. I took that fight because Gabe Kaufman promised me a shot at Joe Louis if I won the elimination tournament. I'm no $150 fighter.

I wanted that chance." The commissloers said Novak, a young Kansas City, Kansas, fighter.

Another question a good bowler must know the answer to is, "What causes a ball to fade many times Just before reaching the pins?" The answer, briefly, is that only a certain amount of spin or "stuff" can be put on a bowling ball. This is why many slow ball bowlers, especially women, see the ball start to hook beautifully, only to straighten out suddenly into a "dead" ball Just before hitting the pins. Bowlers who have this trouble consistently should deliver the ball nearer the outside of the alley, thus taking advantage of angle on their hook deliveries. A person with a powerful hand and wrist can impart more spin to the ball and can, depending on the action of his hook, spot his delivery closer to the center of the alley. Some bowlers have enough hook to roll from the center of the alley toward the gutter and hook the ball back into the 1-3 pocket.

It does not follow, however, that the stronger the bowler, the better the hook. In fact, Just as often as not it turns out the other way. The 'important item of timing again en- ters the picture. A good hook that is, a controlled hook depends on the right snap or turn of the ball at the exact moment the fingers are leaving the holes. I have found that when the thumb comes out of the hole too late, an overturn of the hand and wrist takes "stuff" off the ball and causes it to fade.

Remember, the thumb comes out first and only the fingers and the wrist snap the ball over. Letting go of the ball before you have an opportunity to turn it Is called "undertiming." Undertimlng is the chief cause of a ball, other wise well delivered, fading before it reaches the pins. first ten finals. of Williamson's December E3 iff gets the palm. We had picked the Nebraskans to win, against our own December ratings.

They played superbly against Stanford, but it wasn't good enough. Had the Huskers played the same kind of football against Minnesota, their only regular season champions, as they did against Stanford the Golden Gophers would have been burrowing yet. So there it stands: Stanford, national football champions of 1940. It -is one of the lew times that the Williamson system has named an un- disputed national football champion. Coach Frank Leahy's Eagles of Boston college refused to admit the overwhelming defeat that stared at them from the ranks of Tennessee's great Volunteers.

Behind all the football mechanics there was a determination and spirit to win, and those are things that Just aren't figured on a 'mathematical basis. Had the Vols held up like they started out, the Eagles would have been routed. But, to the conquered." The Eagles screamed and clawed to come from behind twice and win 19 to 13. Running quickly over the other Bowl results: Mississippi State came through for the system and took Georgetown 14-7; the Texas Aggies rammed through in the last few minutes of play for a weird 13-12 score over the Fordham Rams; and Fresno State, as predicted against the sys- tern's December ratings, downed the Universtly of Hawaii 3-0 with a field goal booted by Substitute Guard Dale Mlckelwalt against a chill and lusty breeze In the final period. The system went down with the "line" and most other published predictions in picking the South over the North at Montgomery, the East over the West at San Francisco, and Arizona State Teachers of Tempe at El Paso In the Sun Bowl.

The figures and the "dope" pointed that way. The scores after the game pointed the other way. The scores: North 14, South 12; West 20, East 14; Reserve 26, Tempe 13. In all three of thoe games stars from minor colleges and little mentioned players from major schools stood out above highly publicized hradliner names from the regular season. In othpr holiday season games, the system was right on Fresno State 20, Healanl 0, in a Christmas Day game in Hawaii; and, Georgia Tech turned back California 14-0 at Atlanta on Dec.

28. Holiday Prediction Efficiency The Williamson system correctly predicted the winner in five of the 10 holiday games for a batting aver- age of .500 per cent. And the way past performances, precedents, and regular season records were being tossed about we feel well, if not proud. Table Statistics Of rite 40 Williamson's 1940 leaders eeven each were played by Northwestern and Pittsburgh; six each by Minnesota, Ohio State, Louisiana State, Syracuse, and Tulane; five each by "Boston college, Mississippi State, Southern Methodist, Columbia, Au--burn, Indiana, Cornell, Rice, Texas, and Oklahoma; four each by Tennessee, Michigan, Texas A. George town, Fordham, Colgate, Wisconsin, and Temple; and the rest three or two each except Hardin -Simmons, which played none.

In 287 games in which those 40 leadera engaged, there were only Inconsistent ties against the final ratings and only 11 upset. That gave a final rating coneistemy of 98 per cent for those leaders Stanford. Boston colelge, Minnesota, and Hardln-Simmons were the only undefeated and untied teams of the 40. Minnesota might have rated national champion with a schedule of more than eight games, with more decisive victories over Northwestern and Michigan, or if the Big Nine conference had let the Gophers go in to in In one of the leading Bowl jumca. Boston college was obviously silked under Stanford becaue the h'aglea' achedule averaged weaker than that of th Indiana.

Breese has been campaigning for a shot at Angott for several months. Triner yesterday said Breese was ranked sixth among the lightweights. In two eight round fights with Lew Jenkins of Sweetwater, Texas, the New York boxing commission's world champion, the Kansas battler had Jenkins on the canvas seven times.

Marshall Selected as Tulsa Training Camp Tulsa, Jan. 4 (ff). Selection of Marshall, Texas, as the spring training camp site for the ffulsa Oilers of the Texas league was announced tonight by President Don Stewart. At Marshall, Stewart said, the Oil ers will be in a better position to schedule practice games with other Texas league teams that at Seguln, Texas, where they trained last year. The Oilers will go into camp on March 9 and return home April 2 to start a series of pre-season games with major league teams.

4 Yale cast aside its graduate coaching system today by replacing Head Coach Raymond W. (Ducky) Pond with Emerson W. (Spike) Nelson, former University of Iowa star lineman, in a shake-up dictated, its athletic director said, byt the Ells' determination "to have good football teams." Director Ogden Miller coupled the announcement that Yale's gridiron forces would be bossed by a non-graduate for the first time since the Elis began playing the game in 1872 with the prediction that the uni versity would "retain its traditional excellence in football." "While I regret to leave Yale, it Is without any rancor," said Pond, Yale football chief lor the past seven campaigns, "I guess it's one of the risks of coaching. I had a hunch some thing was going to happen, but they've picked a fine fellow in Spike, who is a fine coach and was always loyal to me." Nelson, Yale line coach since 1939, said from a sick bed where he is recovering from a touch of flu that he was "completely surprised." "What's to be done? Well, that's somethln gto be approached carefully. There will be something to say soon, but nothing right now," he declared.

Nelson took the Job with power to name his own staff. The 35-year-old new mentor has coached at Iowa, Louisiana State and Mississippi State, where he was in full charge. He takes over in the wake of Yale's mast disastrous football season which saw the Blue drop seven of its eight games and with prospects none too bright for 1941. The Blue was the last of the "Big Three" to retain an alumnus as head gridiron mentor. Harvard and Princeton, Yale's traditional athletic rivals, drifted away fro ma similar policy in recent years.

Miller's action came as a surprise, particularly in view of recent statements from him which some sources had Interpreted as a possible indica tion that Yale planned to de-empha size football. While criticizing "big time" foot ball, Miller himself Insisted that at no time had he advocated a policy of de-emphasis, and recently said Yale intended to continue its sports program "to every possible degree." "Few of our graduates enter the profession of football coaching," -x-plained Miller, "and with the great development and increasing complex ity of the modern game, we looked beyond the limit sof our own alumni body." Pond said he didn't have "any def inite plans," but had "several irons in the fire." Wancr Wants Another Chance in Major Loop Sarasota, Jan. 4 (P). Paul Waner, no longer the "big poison" of Pittsburgh's brohter combination, wants to get back In major league baseball long enough to raise his hit total above the but he will Join the minors Jor more money. He is convinced he can play two more years in the major leagues as a regular, but "I haven't much more time to play and I've got to take the Job that will pay me the most," he explained.

Wancr, released by the Pirates early last month, said he needs only 139 hits to reach a total of 3,000 for his time in the majors, "and I figure I could do it in one more season. Then I would be up there with Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner, Tns Speaker nd one or two others." Doyle 'Picks' Yanks and Reds For lUl Flag (Continued From Frecedln Page.) Moore, Turner, Pressnell and Pear son will help the 'big Get ting Pearson from the Yanks might have been a real stroke by McKech-nle. He has the stuff.

HAGEKTY, HOYAS' MENTOK, SPUKNS TWO OTHER JOBS Miami, Jan. 4 Although his Georgetown football team lost a heart-breaking 14-7 decision to Mis sissippi State In the Orange Bowl, Coach Jack Hagerty disclosed today he had been offered two. other Jobs. Hagerty said he had declined both offers, one from a college and the other a professional club which he refused to Identify. His contract runs two more years at Georgetown, where Hagcrty- coached teams have lost only two games in the last three years.

Both Orange Bowl teams entrained for home today, Georgetown for Washington and Mississippi State for Starkvllle, after two days of Intensive entertainment for the players and coaches. Before Mississippi State pulled out Coach AUyn McKcen said criticism of the officiating was hurting the Orange Bowl. "The fouls in the game were flagrant," he declared. "Koshlap would have been tackled if he hadn't dodged forward to make that long pass." The 50-yard pass to which he referred was nullified when officials ruled Julie Koshlap wasn't the required five yards behind the scrimmage line when he threw the ball. Three More Champions Warned by N.B.A.

Head Chicago, Jan, President Joe Triner of the National Boxing association, continued his drive against idle champions today by warning three more they'll have to defend their titles 'immediately or face action by the A. Champions 'must defend their tltl eonce every six months, according to N.B.A. rules. Triner informed Flyweight Cham pion Little Dndo his time limit has expired and Informed Middleweight Champion Tony Zale and Feather weight Champion Petey Scalzo that their time runs out this month. The NBA.

already had notified Lightweight Champion Sammy An gott his six months have expired. battles Rice at Houston and Texas Christian goes to Dallas to meet dark horse Southern Methodist. Toughest of the assignments is the one Texas carries through the first week. It must open against Rice, the defending champion, the team that squeezed them out of the title last year. Back on the floor for Rice will be "Bat 'Em" Bob Kinney, great center; Sophomore Bill Tom Gloss, a giant with a basket eye; Bert Selman, Capt.

Placldo Gomez and the mighty Frankle Carswell, master floor man. Gorrifz Is not due to enter the line up before the series with Arkansas at Fayctteville Feb. 12 and 13. He has been out with an injured foot. But without Gomez, Rice has won seven and lost two one a 58-31 chiller to Long Island in Madison Square Garden a few nights ago.

Meanwhile, Texas, with a record of seven victories and five defeats. hasn't been brilliant but has left the Impression it could again contend for the flag. They have last to some stout clubs Kansas, Pltts- fburgh Teachers, Oklahoma A. and last year's national champions, and a very salty Texas Tech five. The general feeling, is that Arkan sas will start climbing back to lost heights.

The tall Ozark's sons showed their hand In a rather vio lent manner by beating Phillips Oil ers, outstanding semi-pro team, In one game and losing one by two points. Until that close loss to the Oilers, they had won five straight games. Unless forms take a dive, It will be Rice or Arkansas in one of the tightest races of years. But Baylor Is a club that could wreck the works. True, they have won only three and lost four In pre season play, but the bunch hasn't started clicking and has shown po tentialities.

The same Is true of Southern Methodist, built around its great senior center, Virgil (Country) Wil-kerson. The Methodists have won four and lost four, but they included West Texas State, tallest team in the world, among their victims. The Methodists got their worst blow when Soph Kelly Simpson, the sterling football end, went down with an emergency appendectomy. The real sleeper of the race, the team that could hand out more uncomfortable night for the leaders than any one else, is Texas A. and M.

The Aggies have a decent record of four wins and five losses to date and all this has been accomplished without Bill (Jitterbug) Henderson, the spectacular football end who Is Just about one of the best basketball players in the Southwest. Also, Capt. Bill Dawson has been on the football squad. Watch for the Aggies when Henderson and Dawson get the grid kinks out of their systems. For five seasons Texas Christian has lain in tht basement.

But there are definite signs of a change. The Christians have been playing bang-up pre-scason ball, breaking even in 10 games. They played the socks off Texas Tech and should give solid accounts of themselves. Sol Butler, 1920 Olympic games athlete, is Joint manager of Altus Allen, a young heavy. Interested with Butler In Allen is George Halas, owner and coach of the Chicago Bears ol pro football.
