ilKlfeJa THEY'RE READY FOR BATTLE WITH NAVY Regardless of Coach Earl Elaik's announced intentions of shifts in his Army football platoons, these four aces of the Cadet backfleld expect to be in the thick of the battle against Navy in Philadelphia this Saturday (Nov. 26). Left to right are: Frank Fischl, Gil Stephenson, Arnold Galiffa and Jim Cain. The Cadets are rated 14-point over the Middies. I If! LSU's Tigers Stand In Way Of Tulane Taking Bowl Trip Emory Henry Wins Easily Before 12,000 Johnson City, Nov.

24. (IP) Virginia's Emory and Henry Wasps sloshed to a 32 to 0 victory over Hanover of Indiana today before some 12,000 rain-soaked football fans gathered here for the fifth annual Burlcy Bowl. Emory, led by All-State Halfback Bob Miller, completely dominated the game from start to finish and scored almost as many points against Hanover as have been scored on the Panthers all season. Hanover foes totaled only 33 points in eight games. Using a razzle-dazzle T-formalion, the Wasps led 6-0 after only three minutes of the first quarter had elapsed.

Miller set up the touchdown on a 45-yard Jaunt and minutes later Chick Davis passed to Tiff Kiser In the end zone for the By JOE REICHLER New York. Nov. 24 iP Ted Williams, whose big bat narrowly missed bringing the pennant .3 the Boston Red Sox, today was chosen the most valuable American League player of 1949. It was the second such honor heaped upon the tall, lanky, slugging outfielder who was also named in 1946. He lost out to Joe DiMaggio by one vote in 1947 and was second to Joe Gordon by a handful in '42.

Cleveland's playing manager, Lou Boudreau, won last year. It marked the first time since Detroit's Hal Newhouser won in 1944 that a member of a non-pennant winning team got the award. The 31-year-old Williams, who hails from San Diego, drew a total of 272 points to 175 for shortstop Phil Rizzuto of the World Champion Nev York Yankees. THIRD RED SOX He is the third Red Sox player to gain the MPV award. Tris Speaker won it in 1912 and Jimmy Fox copped it in 1938.

Williams was on the ballots of all the 24 members of the Baseball Writers' Association, three from each city in the circuit, who acted as a committee. Each listed 10 players in order of their value and 13 put Williams on top. He also gained thrpp Kppnnds Kpvpn thirri anH nnp fourth. azzuto, infield sparkplug of the kees, drew five firsts to nose out eammate, Joe Page, for runner-up honors by nine points. Page, the peerless relief pitcher, drew three firsts to finish third with 166 points.

Mel Parnell and Vera (Junior) Stephens of the Red Sox and Tommy Henrich of the Yankees, were the only others to gain first place votes, each receiving one. Williams and Parnell were on every ballot. On a point basis with 14 for first, nine for second and on down to on for tenth Parnell, the brilliant southpaw who finished the season with a 25-7 won and lost record, was fourth with 151 points. Fifth place, with 122 points, went to Parnell's right-handed pitching mate, Ellis Kinder. The latter owned the top percentage of .793 as a result of 23 victories and only six defeats.

HENRICH SIXTH Henrich, who drove in 85 runs with a .287 batting average, was sixth with 121 points, just 21 more than Stephens drew for his seventh place nomination. The latter tied Williams for the runs batted in leadership with a 291 batting mark. Rounding out the first ten Were Detroit's George Kell, the unofficial batting champion, 80 points; Bob Lemon, Cleveland's 22-game winning righthander, 57; and Vic Wertz, Tiger whose .304 batting figure and 132 runs batted in gained him 51 points. In all 27 players received recognition, with seven Yankees and seven Red Sox dominating the list. Williams, whose .3427 batting average just missed giving him his fifth title and his third in a row by .0002 percentage points, nevertheless was the No.

1 man in home runs, 43; RBI's, 159; runs scored, 150, and two base hits, 39. He also topped the circuit in total bases, 368. His 194 hits were the most he's ever made in compiling a .353 lifetime mark of major league seasons. Rizzuto, the "solid man" of the Yankees, recorded a .276 mark and fielded in sensational style all year. He was generally regarded a the "Mr.

Shortstop" of the majors. Page appeared in 60 games, all in relief, won 13, lost eight and saved at least 14 for the Yankees. Casey Stengel, his manager, called him the greatest relief pitcher he ever seen.

wuson irounces Danville Team By 28 To 12 Margin Portsmouth, Nov. 24 Wood-Tow Wilson High School closed out a successful football campaign here today by walloping George Washington, of Danville, 28 to 12, before a Thanksgiving turnout of 6,000. End Dutch Schwalenberg set the pace for the Presidents, who en-Joyed a 7-2-1 season. A 48-yard run by Schwalenberg set the stage for the first Wilso.i score In the open ing period, and he took a 25 yard pass from Pop McFadden to give the Presidents a 14-0 lead at half time. Wilson scored two more touch downs in the third period, and then Billy Williams went over for both Danville scores in the final quarter.

With Newport News upsetting Hampton. 6-0, Wilson claimed the Eastern District championship. Only a tie game marred the Presidents' district record. ECCs Jr. Grid League To Close The Elizabeth Citv Cnuntv-Hamn ton Junior Football League will stage Its last night games of the season tomorrow night when the unbeaten, league-leading Merrimacs play Buckroe and the Indians face Wythe.

Both games will be plaved at Darling Memorial Stadium, and the opener between Indians and Wythe tarU at 7 P. M. Second game starts at 8:20. The brief respite allowed for Thanksgiving Day is past and the working public has another month to look forward to before the Christmas holidays. The single holiday in the Eliza beth City County area was rather 'eventful, with the traditional foot ball game between Hampton and Newport News as the biggest news ot the day.

The exceptonal good play in the game was the main theme for street corner and barber shop conserva tion. The conduct of both fans and players was commended last night by Sheriff A. A. Anderson and Hampton Police Chief Lloyd H. Nicholson.

One spectator inadvertantly was pushed from the temporary bleachers at teh north end of Darling Memorial Stadium and was taken to Riverside Hospital with superficial injuries of the back. She was identified as Mrs. W. Y. Allen of 228-43rd Newport News.

by the Phoebus Fire Department, I who.se ambulance took her to the' hospital. But Mrs. Allen has some consolation if she cheered for Newport News as the Typhoon came through with an unexpected 6-0 victory. A cutting fracas in downtown Hampton during the game resulted in the arrest of Ray Higgins, Negro, of 420 Harrison St. Treated in Dixie for cuts about the face was Theodore Peterson, Negro, of 3307 Roanoke Ave.

in Newport News. Hampton Police Officer H. D. Waters investigated. Peterson was said to have had four stitches as the result of the slashes, but was released after treatment.

Higgins was bailed for appearance before Trial Justice John H. Bowen in Hampton Police Court. Probably the busiest people in the irea yesterday were members of the Wythe District Fire Depart ment. Between 11:10 A. M.

and 6:30 P.M., seven alarms were turned in for this department, with all but one caused by field and wood fires. The first alarm received shortly before noon was to Greenbriar Ave. and the 39ht St. Superhighway. An other field fire was reported at 12:32 P.M.

at 3 Lewis Road in Aber deen Gardens. A field at 52 St. in Copeland Park caught lire at 2:25, and the uremen were caned to the same location half an hour later, A two and a half hour battle against a field fire near the Big Bethel Reservoir began at 3:05 P. M. Shortly after the firemen returned, the field again caught fire this time at 6:30 P.

In a matter of a few minutes he had pulled his hand extintruisher from his car and quenched the flames with a flood of carbon tetra chloride, Just before the Fort Mon roe Fire Department sent a truck to the scene. The Fort Monroe department had been notified by MP's also seeing the blaze. It was one of three fires in the Phoebus area yesterday. The others were: A gas stove on which grease caught afire at the home of N. Simmons, 24 Tennis Lane, about 1:30 P.

118 W. Queen St. Hampton, Ya cago Bears had a comparatively easy time today rolling to a 28-7 decision over the Detroit Lions before 24,385 chilled fans who braved a snowstorm to see the National Football League game. Detroit's sole consolation was a sensational 102-yard run by Bob Smith who intercepted a Sid Luck man pass in the Detroit end zone and went all the way for a touchdown; It set a league record for return of an intercepted pass. The old mark of 100 yards was held by Vern Huff man of Detroit and set in 1937 against Brooklyn.

Johnny Lujack was the big man in the Bear's attack as he tossed two touchdown passes and completely overshodowed the Lions' Prank Tripucka who used to be his understudy at Notre Dame. The game was billed -as a duel between the two former Irish stars, but Lujack made it a runaway. He completed 16 of 23 passes in the snow for 195 yards, including the two scoring passes. He carried the ball once for 13 yards. EIGHT OUT OF 21 Tripucka clicked on only eight of 21 bosses for 73 yards and he had four intercepted.

That brought to 11 the total of interceptions in his three games since joining the Lions. He carried three times for a minus nine yards net. Chicago's victory kept alive its mathematical chances for the west em Division NFL title. The Bears played Albert Ball, but they were helped along by Detroit Miscues. George Gulyanics rammed over for two touchdowns after Detroit misplays had helped the Bears get into scoring position.

Their first period touchdown was set up when Chicago recovered a Detroit fumble on the Lion's 18-yard line. Gulyanics banged over from the four for that score. He went over again on a two-yard plunge in the second period after the Bears had intercepted a pass on the Detroit 33. Lujack found the range with two touchdown passes in the final half, the first a 34-yard toss to Ken Kav- anaugh and the other a 30-yard heave to Jim Keane. Lujack Kicked all four extra points.

Cornell Continued From Page 9 slick hand-off and raced 86 yards for a score. That made It 7-7 when they changed ends, both Kirk and Penn's Herb Agoc having kicked the extras. LOOKED LIKE ROUT Then the Quakers began threat ening to turn it into a rout. They recovered a fumble on the Cornell 26 and banged over in five plays, with Francis (Reds Bagnell passing to end Harry Wettlaufer for the final 16 yards. Before the half gun sounded tne Red and Blue had piled a total of 72 yards for another touchdown.

Dooney, on a fake punt, passed out in the flat to Alan Corbo, who sprinted 42 yards down the sideline to score standing up Two more of Aeoc's boots made it 21-7, and Cor nell's hopes must have been very dim at the intermission Early in the third period, though, things began to look up for the Ith- acans. Dick Loynd broke through to block a Dooney kick, and Harvey Sampson fell on the bouncing ball on the Penn eight On third down, Jeff Heischmann smashed through for the score. Kirk's kick was wide and Cornell still trailed by 21-13. Again the squat Dooney was the goat when, early in the closing quarter, he fumbled on a crack at the Cornell line and Bob Haley recovered a yard from midfield. Two passes from Dorset to Bruska reached the Penn 25, Hillary Chol-lett whizzed around end for nine, and Fleischmann shook off three tacklers as a pounded for 16 yards and the score.

QUAKERS HOLD LEAD Again Kirk missed, and the Quakers still led by two points, but the handwriting was on the wall for the bewildered home forces. Bagnell tried a running pass, Charlie Taylor intercepted for Cornell and tore back 32 yards to the Penn 30. Three plays netted only five yards, but on fourth down Dorset 1 back and whipped a long pass into the very corner of the field. Bruska took it on his fingertips and in a single stride was across for the winning points. Kirk's field goal which followed, officially a 13-yarder, grew from a pass interception by Sampson on the Penn 29.

The statistics indicated that Cornell's victory was well earned. The Big Red led both in rushing, 219 yards to 177, and in passing, IV to 93.

(JP) The New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dons today, 17-16, handing the local club a heart-breaking set back that eliminated the Dons from a possible chance of landing la the All-America Conference championship playoffs.

Los Angeles almost tied the score in the final 30 seconds of the game when tailback George Taliaferro, ex-Indiana star, returned a Yankee punt 52 yards for a touchdown. But the try for the extra and tying point was blocked by two charging Yankee linemen, Van Davis and Jack Russell. The Yankees came to life, and so did the sparse Turkey Day turnout of 20,096. in the fourth period. They scored all their points on two touch downs and a field goal to stagger in for tne victory.

Trailing by seven points from the first quarter as a result of Talia ferro's brilliant 44-yard run off tackle, the Yankees manager to get up enough energy to cash in on two Los Angeles fumbles for one touchdown and Harvey Johnson's 16-yard field goal, and-drive 47 yards in la borious fashion for what proved to be the winning touchdown. New York, already assured of a spot in the title post-season playoff, twice let costly Don fumbles slip by before they got down to serious business. Aside from Taliaferro's first scor ing sprint, the game was devoid of excitement until the final moments. Halfback Billy Grimes twice fum bled to set up the first two scoring opportunities. Guard Ed Sharket re covered the first and the Yankees went 52, yards in 12 plays, fullback Bob Kennedy scoring from the one.

Otto Schnellbacher fell on Grimes' second fumble and the Yankees traveled down to the nine. Johnson booted the three pointer field goal from the 16. Los Angeles tied it up soon after. Taliaferro running and passing the team to the 19 and center Bob Nel son booted a field goal from the 26. That made it 10-10.

The Dons tried an onside kick but the Yankees recovered on the Los Angeles 47. It took six plays to score, a pass, Kennedy to Bruce Alford, going foi 27 yards of the distance. Kennedy again scored from the one. Texas Swats Aggies, 42-14, By HAROLD V. RATLIFF College Station.

Nov. 24. Texas ground -ut a brutish 42- 14 victory over futile Texas A. and M. today in the fifty-sixth renewal of the longest, bitterest rivalry in Southwestern football.

In a game that saw Texas penalized 73 yards, mostlv for ilieeal use of the hands and fists in the first half, the Longhorns, with sophomore Byron Townsend and Ray Borneman gouging the line and the passing combination of Paul Campbell to Ben Procter eatlns un huee chunks of yardage, kept A. and M. on the run almost all the way. That first half saw player after player hobble off the field and two roughing penalties set up Aggie toucnaowns. once, after Bob Smith, A.

and M. fullback, had been plowed into viciously, some Aggies started off bench onto the field but Coach Harry Stiteler waved them back. The second half was rather tame, howeier, and when the game was over Aggies and Lonehorns were slapping each other on the back and congratulating each other In good nature. A crowd of 41,200 the largest ever to see a game In College Station watched the crunchine nower and jrilliant blocking of the longhorns witn awe, wondering how that that team ever lost four games this sea son. It has been ten years since A.

and M. beat Texas. Once In that period last year the Aeeles man aged for a 14-14 tie. Today's game was the fifty-sixth since 1894. Townsend scored three of the Texas touchdowns with Borneman, Randall Clay and Lew Levlne get ting one each.

Booby Goff and Smith made the Aeele scores. Clv kicked all six points after touchdown. Bob Shaeffe converted after the A. and M. scores.

By JAMES SLGGI New Orleans, Nov. 24 (iP) Tu-lane's Geenies will put their bowl hopes a stake Saturday against a Louisiana State University football team that has made a habit of knocking off conference champions this year. The- Greenies, with their new Southeastern Conference title, and their arch-rivals take enviable records into the game. Each team has won seven games. LSU lost to Kentucky and Georgia.

Tulane lost to Notre Dame and tied Navy. Both sport two All-SEC players. Tulane is SEC champion, while LSU has beaten both the Southwest and Southern winners. The 56-year-old rivalry has been bitter, with numerous fights on record at past games. Both campuses have been painted thus week and tension Is hiah.

"MUST" GAME For Tulane the game is a must. Rumors persist that if Tulane can get past the potent LSU team it will get a bid to the rich Sugar Bowl. Louisiana State is out to avenge a 46-0 defeat the Tigers got from Tulane last season. It was the worst beating-either team has taken. Tulane's Eddie Price, twice an All-Conference selection, will carry the burden of his team's running attack.

Teammate Paul Lea, twice All-SEC tackle, and his heavy cohorts, will try to give Price and other Tulane backs the necessary protection. LSU's All-Conference men are Guard Allen Hover and End Mel Lyle. Both are standouts oi defense and offense. The Tigers are depending on two powerful fullbacks, quarterbacks that can pass and run, and fleet sophomore halfbacks. The spirited LSU eleven has gone through the season with losses only to Kentucky and Georgia.

Much of the credit has been given to Zollie Toth and Ebert Van Buren, a pair of bruising line-crackers. LSU HOPEFUL The quarterbacks, Charlie Pevey, Ken Konz and Carroll Griffith, can pass and run. LSU supporters feel that the advantage of quarterback plus the team's spirit will carry them through. Both Tulane quarterbacks, Joe Ernst and Bill Bonar, are capable passers but they've shown no running ability. Tulane, with its cold and method ical play, will have Its hands full of hustling LSU.

Each team has a player that may not see much action. For Tulane, its standout left halfbark George Kinek. LSU's star tackle, Moose Potter, may get into the game for a short time. Both are recuperating from earlier injuries. Neither Coach Henry Frnka of Tulane nor Gaynell Tinsley of LSU make any prediction about the game.

Each has warned his team of the other. Both promise it won't be any 46-0 game this year, regardless of who wins. Typh oons Continued From Page 8 had what proved to be an insurmountable 6-0 lead, Begor missing the extra point attempt. Hampton received Frank's kick-off but fumbled on the first play and Newport News took over. Set back by a delaying penalty, Keeter booted artistically out of bounds on the Crabbers' two and the Easonites never got out of the hole.

A 10-yard run by Boswell and a pass from Bobby Brady to Harrison brought Hampton out to its own 31 where a desperation aerial attack failed. Two plays later the game ended and Typhoon fans, hungry for a Thanksgiving Day victory rather than turkey, had had their first real football feast since 1935. New York Dancers To Appear Locally A dance featuring Deleonia and Theodora Boyd, New York radio and television artists, will highlight a recital sponsored by Circles No. 2 and 3 of St. Cyprian's Church at the Community Center at 8 tonight.

The New York artists will be presented in two numbers together and five individually. Also on the program will be Grace Johnson, Norma Mitchener and Cynthia Williams. Navy Man Cited Emmett A. Shields, engineman, second class, USN, or Hampton, has received, with fellow crewmen of his ship, a "well done" from Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, newly -appointed chief of naval operations, who was commander of the Sixth Task Fleet to which the Navy man's ship, the Algol, Is attached.

Two-Platoon Foe May Use Them Himself By RIP WATSON NewBruiiswick, N. Nov. 24. (P) Rutgers football Coach Harvey Hannan, an outspoken foe of the two-platoon system, admitted grudgingly today that he'll use the system next year but he won't like it. "Sure I'll use two platoons next year if it's still on the books," Har-man said.

"But I still don't like it, and I think it's a bad thing for football." Harman predicted in a speech at the weekly meeting of the New York football writers Nov. 14 that the two-platoon system two complete units for offense and defense would be doomed after this season. "Ninety per cent of the coaches in the country are opposed to it," he said then. Harman wouldn't amplify today his inference that the two-platoon system won't be "on the books" by next year. Only five days after his blast at the writers' luncheon, however, his Rutgers team used a virtual tv.v platoon set-up to upset favoreu Fordliam, 35-14.

Only Center Leon Rot and Guard Earl Read stayed in that game, by far the Scarlet's best performance of the season, both on offense and defense. "We used two platoons this year of necessity, after we were hit by Injuries." Harman said. "We used that system against Lafayette and New York University before it work ed so well against Fordham. "It gets better results but I still think it's bad for the game of foot ball. "Most colleges don't have enough coaches and the coaches don't have enough time to teach two complete units properly.

And it isn't fair on the players. "Eleven good players get awfully tired when they see a fresh face coming in against them every five or ten minutes." Blue And Continued From Page 9 gate pretty hard midway the second period, but the Typhoon successfully stopped an aerial attack, with Bobby Fennell and Jack Castelow doing a sparkling Job on defense On third down, with 16 yards to go for a first down, Jones made a spectacular catch of Fennell's pass, missing a first down by inches. Halftime score Hampton Newport News 0.
