19 UP) Army trounced Pennsylvania, 62 to 7, on Saturday as compared with Navy's 26-0 victory over the Quakers three weeks ago, but we'll string along with the Middies to topple the unbeaten and untied West Pointers in their coming "national championship'' clash at Baltimore, Dec. 2. The Cadets are blessed with a horde of fast-breaking backs who are "gone" once they get through the line of scrimmage, but it remains to be seen whether they can breeze past Navy's stout forward wall that has been poison to all opponents. For about 13 minutes In the Penn game it looked like the old Franklin field jinx again was working against Army. Penn had driven to the Army 12, lost the ball on downs, yielded a touchdown on Max Minor's 66-yard sprint, but had bounced back to tie the score at 7-7.

The came the deluge as the Cadets plied up the biggest score In the history or Franklin field and more than atoned for the worst lacing an Army club ever suffered, the 48-0 licking Penn inflicted in 1940. Navy Poo-Fow Purdue While the rout was on at Philadelphia, Navy put 'Purdue through the hoops, 32 to 0, at Baltimore. It was the Middies' fourth straight win and demonstrated once more' that they are a "November" club, a team that usually gets off to a slow start and finishes strong. Both Idle this week the Cadets and Middies turn the spotlight over to Michigan and Ohio State who battle for the Big Nine championship at Columbus, O. The unbeaten and untied Buckeyes spotted Illinois an early touchdown before 83,627 at Cleveland Saturday, then ground out an impressive 26-12 triumph.

The once-beaten Wolverines meantime licked Wisconsin, 14-0, on two long touchdown gallops of 84 and 56 yards. The nation's other top elevens, Randolph Field, Iowa Seahawks, Georgia Tech, Duke, Southern California, Second Air Force, Yale and Notre Dame, all racked up triumphs. Georgia Tech alone was forced to the utmost before nicking Louisiana State In a night game, 14 to 6. YOU CAN'T DRIVE DOWN HERE! THIS IS A ONE -WAV STREET!

They're about the size of a high school team and so few that the fans hold their breath when one makes a hard tackle or smacks into the line, but the Fightin' Frogs of Texas Christian lead the college football parade in the south-vest and are best bets for the Cot ton Bowl on New Year's Day.

Back in September Coach Leo fDutch) Myer said of his Purple l'ghtweights (the line averages 182 and the backfleld five pounds less) "They've got a lot to learn but, brother, they're rough and tough the kind of boys I like for my football team. You can put it down now that well cause plenty of trouble for all of them." They generally had been picked to finish close to the bottom in the southwest conference but today they lead the race with two victories and one tie and they've lost only one game this season. All they need to do is win one of their two remaining contests to sack up the title and become automatic hosts in the Cotton bowl. Choice This Week The Bowl officials are going 'to select an opponent this week. Every thing points to Oklahoma A.

and M. and it's a break for the Cotton Bowl that the Frogs appear destined to be the conference representative. The other teams have very poor records not only In conference play but against outside opposition, both Texas and Arkansas having lost to Oklahoma A. and M. Thus had either Texas, the pre-season favor lte, or Arkansas won the title Oklahoma A.

and M. would definitely be out. It's a gang of opportunists who carry the banner of Frogland into gridiron battle these days. Several times they've been outplayed but never were they found wanting when a break came. In fact they fight so hard they make the breaks.

In mid-season Meyer lost half his sc.uad to scholastic inegilibility and navy transfers but he had a couple of dozen boys left, probably 15 of them capable of playing football on the same plane as other teams of the conference. Just to lose a single first-stringer would be a big blow. They're the fightingest gang ever to represent the purple on the gridiron. They look rugged enough to represent the Purple on tne Yesterday only four subs were used in a 7-6 victory over massive Texas. Eight starters went 60 minutes.

The others could have done the same but Dutch wanted to let his substitutes play. Keeps them more contented, you, know, NC-DUKE CLASH FOR GONFALON Richmond, Nov. 19. (JP) The Southern conference football pro gram will be spread over three days this week, featuring the North Carolina-Duke clash to settle the loop championship. First on the schedule will be a holiday meeting on Thursday at Charlotte between South Carolina and Wake Forest, the latter the runnerup club to Duke in the title race.

Wake Forest's Deacons will be winding up one of their most successful football campaigns. Coach D. C. Walker's veteran all-civilian crew had smashed their way through seven straight victories before tripping on Duke's navy-bolstered club, 34-0, a week ago. The Deacons had whipped North Carolina, Maryland, V.

M. North Carolina State and Clemson in the conference and Georgia and Miami on the outside. On Friday, Clemson will tackle its fourth Southeastern conference foe by meeting Georgia at Athens. Climaxing this week's action will be the traditional Duke-North Carolina engagement at Chapel Hill on Saturday. The Blue Devils, 1943 conference champs, are leading again this season with wins over Richmond, Wake Forest and South Carolina in as many loop tests.

A triumph over North Carolina would clinch the 1944 conference crown. State's Wolfpack has completed its schedule for this season, well satisfied with seven victories in nine games for one of the best won-lost records in the school's grid history. Four teams, W. Richmond, V. M.

I. and Maryland, are idle this week in preparation for their contests on Thursday, Nov. 30, which is Virginia's Thanksgiving date. Yesterday's Weather Across The Country Washington, Nov. 19.

Unclaimed Dogs Gassed To Death While eight states have kthal gas chambers for condemned criminals Newport News Is probably one of the few cities in the country which maintains a similar chamber but for dogs, unlicensed and unclaimed. When a stray pooch Is picked up by the game warden he is taken to the city pound on Warwick and kept there for about 24 hours awaiting any claim by the owner.

When no claims are put in the dog is placed in an oven-like concrete box which has a gasllne leading from the city's gas mains. The door is closed, the gas turned on and in about seven minutes Fido or Bruno goes to Join his ancestors in the canine Valhalla. The gas chamber measures about 10 feet in length, four in width and four in depth. It is made of brick, concreted over. When sufficient time has elapsed the dog warden who also is the high executioner opens a small door and using a long pole Rome, Nov.

Deny Pressure To Ban Close On Air New York, Nov. 19. Niles Trammell, president of the National Broadcasting company, said today that recent statements to the effect that "the cancellation of Upton Close as an NBC commentator resulted from governmental pressure or outside Influence are completely false." Trammell said in a statement that NBC's decision to replace Close was made last summer in line with "a standing policy of the company which Is understood by our clients, that the selection of such commentators rests with NBC inasmuch as the balanced presentation of news and comment is an obligation and responsibility of the broadcast station or network." Expect Change (Continued from Page One) general wage Increases are granted, "they would be reflected in the cost of war supplies and might upset budget calculations. Vinson praised the Davis report as a "careful, thorough and dis interested survey." "Naturally, I am gratified at this confirmation of the general belief that a good Job has been done in stabilizing wartime prices and liv ing costs," he said.

We must have a wage policy to provide workers with earnings high enough to buy the products of our expanded and reconverted Industries."

The financial cost of the war will be described Monday night by Treasury Secretary Morgenthau in a 15-minute broadcast beginning at 9 (E.W.T.) over the Mutual network. In New York, Rear Admiral Monroe Kelly, commandant of the Third naval district, opened the city's drive with a plea to re place "approximately $.100,000,000 worth of ships which he said were lost in the "second battle of the If American servicemen "can get out there and fight, by God we can buy War bonds," he declared.

(IF) The New York Giants put on their greatest defensive display of the season and again proved a team of opportunists today as they blanked the Green Bay Packers, 24 to 0, at the Polo Grounds before 56,481,. the largest crowd of the National Footbal league season. In keeping alive their hopes of winning the league's eastern title and handing the Packers their second setback of the season, the Giants turned in the best showing they ever have made against Green Bay. Led by Len Younce, veteran guard, the Giant line completely bottled up the Packers' attack while Rookie Howie Livingston paced the New Yorkers' offensive that led to a touchdown in each of the first, second and fourth periods and a field goal by Ken Strong in the third. Don Hutson, slippery Green Bay end, failed to score for the second time this season.

He caught only four passes for a gain of 31 yards as the Giants watched his every move and often blocked him out the play before he could get past the line of scrimmage. The Packers outscored the Giants in first downs, 18 to 9, but their aerial attac'i often backfired with the New Yorkers intercepting five and running them back for 100 yards the first of which got the Giants away in front in the first period. Livingston grabbed one of Irv Comp's passes out of the air on Green Bay's 34-yard line late in the opening quarter and went all the way down the sidelines for a touchdown. Lions Take 41-21 Win Over Bears Detroit, Nov. 19.

(IP) Scoring four times through the air, the Detroit Lions carved out a top-heavy 41 to 21 victory over the Chicago Bears in a National League football game here today before 21,960 fans. Detroit grabbed a 14to 0 lead early in the second period on a pair of aerial touchdowns thrown by "flatfoot" Frank Sinkwich and never trailed, though the Bears squared things at one point, 14 to 14, on a pair of quick touchdown passes from Ensign Sid Luckman to end Connie Mack Berry. Art Vantone, Detroit halfback, raced 91 yards with a Chicago kick- oft just before the half ended to boost the Lions into a lead they never relinquished. The Lions, beating a Bear club for the first time since 1940, counted three times In the third period to make a rout of it and thus climbed into a deadlock with Chicago for second place in the league's western division. Chicago drove 63 yards on the ground before Luckman- flipped an eight-yard pas sto end Abe Croft in the end zone for the final touchdown in the last period.

Sinkwich and Luckman made It a great passing show throughout, Sinkwich completing seven of 19 pitches for 170 yards and four scores while Luckman connected on 11 of 17 tosses for 143 yards and three touchdowns.

Daughton of Norfolk as president, and Frank D. Lawrence of Portsmouth as vice president; agreed tentatively on its 1945 schedule, and recessed to meet Dcember 5 at Buffalo, N.

on the eve of the minor league convention. Daughton has been president of the Piedmont league since 1938. He was elected to congress from the second Virginia district at the Nov. 7 election and has already taken his seat, succeeding Winder R. Harris, who reslaried.

Much of the session was given to a discussion of club problems but no action on matters of any importance was taken, the directors deferring all business until the Buffalo session. President Daughton will represent the league at the conference but it is expected that representatives of all six clubs in the circuit will be present. The Piedmont season next year will open April '26 and close September 9, President Daughton an nounced, the same schedule of 140 games obtaining next season as In 1944. Richmond at N. N.

Daughton said that Lynchburg will open at Roanoke; Richmond at Newport News and Portsmouth at Norfolk. Holiday games will be played on the same basis as they were during the season Just past. Details of the schedule are expected to be worked out at a meet ing to be held here possibly In Janu ary, Daughton said. Club owners and representatives at the meeting today could not speak definitely regarding the com position of their teams for 1945, but several Intimated that some changes would be made. Just what the managerial set-up will be next year Is at present not known.

Stanley Radke of Roanoke said that Eddie Popowski would In all probability be back to manage the Red Sox again next year, in the market for managers are Eddie Mooers, of the Richmond Colts, who will be seeking to fill the vacancy caused by the departure In the latter part of the 1944 season of Ben Chapman, while it is expected that Frank Lawrence will also be looking for a new pilot in the event that Chicago recalls Jimmy Foxx. H. P. Dawson of the Norfolk Tars said he could not state definitely at this time whether or not Garland Braxton would be returned to guide the destinies of the Norfolk club, this matter being one for the New Ydrk Yankee management to de clde. Wallace McKenna, representing the 1944 champions, the Lynchburg Cardinals, stated that it was unlikely that George Ferrell would be back with the Red Birds.

19. Don't rush now, and bump your nose on the conclusion that the war Is Just about over. After all, Hank Gowdy Is 55 years old so his departure from the army is not too unexpected, although we know that If he were younger he'd stay in there pitching until the last shot was fired, and it wouldn't be batting practice pitching such as he dished up for the Cincinnati Reds. The return of the tall, benign veteran with the bright blue eyes peering through specs and the overall appearance and manner of a church deacon, which, indeed, we believe he is, will lend one more touch of normalcy to major league baseball next year. He's been around the big show off an on for 34 years, and will be back lending his cheery presence to the Reds in 1945 in his capacity of coach.

Intensely patriotic, Gowdy was the first major leaguer to enlist in 1917, and he served with distinction overseas, emergihg as a sergeant. He had that old urge to be ope of the boys fighting for his country when we got into the present conflict, and despite his age he was accepted for service and given the rank of captain. He leaves with the rank of major and a fine record of service as recreational director at Fort Bennlng, Ga. Two Records Hankus-Jankus is remembered best as a player through a pair of performances, one fortunate and the other unfortunate. He was No.

1 catcher on the Boston Braves "miracle team" of 1914, and in the world series of that year he set a quarterback and tossed a 33-yard pass to Green who in turn galloped 30 yards for the Travellers second score of the first period. Tackle Bill Robinson came out of the line to convert the extra point. Checas tossed a 16-yard pass to Earl Rowe. the latter running down the sidelines for another touchdown. Larry Livingston kicked the point.

Gowdy, then catching for the Giants, got his feet tangled with his mask while chasing an easy foul fly. He missed the ball, giving the batter a life which resulted in the Senators pushing across the winning run in the 12th inning of the deciding game. Our personal memory of him doesn't go back to his playing days. We remember him as of recent years, or since he became coach of the Reds late in 1937, and we still carry a vivid mental picture of him, his legs encased in shin guards, tirelessly pitching batting practice at the Reds' training camp in Tampa, meanwhile spreading his own brand of sunshine in that sun-saturated setting. Our Fritz Howell tells an episode which illustrates the kind of citizen the tall guy with the gnarled fingers is.
