NEA Lou Groza never has handled a football in professional competition, yet the non-playing tackle of the Cleveland Browns is the leading scorer in the All-America Football Conference. In six games The Toe tallied 39 points by kicking seven field goals and 18 points after touch downs. The Toe Groza has reduced his art to an exact science which enabled him to maintain a perfect record in extra points and has him well on the way to setting a new season record in the matter of field goals. Groza goes into action armed cap-a-pie you might say, for he carries the solution in his headgear. When rushed onto the field to do his stuff, Lou removes six feet of white tape from his helmet.

runs it back to the ball's intended position in a direct line with the center of the uprights, mentally calculates the pedal power re quired. The ball is snapped and The Toe simply kicks along the tape line to ring the bell with one point or three, as the case may be. Groza has yet to fail to convert this all. He has missed a few field goals, of course. He had Halfback places snapped ball at end of tape.

curtail his college education He has completed arrangements which will enable him to get his diploma from Ohio State by attending school from January to July each a year on the 96th Division's basketball squad. Groza's three consecutive field goals in the Brown's opener with the Miami Seahawks tied the single-game record and he has eight more contests in which to bag four field goals to surpass the professional mark of 10 set by Jack Manders of the Chicago Bears, which should be a lead-pipe cinch for a fellow who has averaged 1 16 per contest. Lou's football career will not park, his parents retrieving the balls.

(INS) All reports to the contrary notwithstanding, Joe Louis will not defend his heavyweight title in Madison Square Garden this winter. Our authority for that flat statement is Nat Rogers, the cagy little matchmaker for Promoter Mike Jacobs, who adds: "Joe will defend his title again in an outdoor show next June." However, that doesn't mean Joe will starve to death. He can always eat in his own Harlem restaurant which is doing very well and if he needs a few thousand iron men, Uncle Mike Jacobs is always handy for a touch. Gets His Dough Back. A touch from an idle champion would be nothing new for Mike who has had previous champions on the cuff for more than $100,000.

Of course, you may be sure that Mike always had ways of getting his dough back. Mike himself will not be idle. He has already scheduled seven matches for the Garden between Nov. 1 and Jan. 1 which will gross more than $500,000.

Only one of these is a title match. That is the affair between Sugar Ray Robinson and Tommy Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, on Nov. 20. This one should do $100,000. lie witn iMortnwestern mignt.

Two teams thirsting for victory will get together Saturday afternoon at Valparaiso when the Ball State Cardinals met the Crusaders on the gridiron. After bumping Canterbury in their opening tilt, the Cards dropped games to Bowling Green and Wabash, failing to score in either contest. The Crusaders have failed to win a game this season. They dropped tne opener to Niagara University and then were beaten, next time out, by St. Joseph.

Last Saturday tne crusaders bowed to Concordia. A note of optimism was evident, however, as the Valpo band made a strong finish against Concordia, racKing up two touchdowns in less than ten minutes. Coach "Em" Bauer has been using a backfield composed of God frey Heinecke, quarterback; Fred Rader, left halfback: Otis Mehl- berg, right halfback, and Bernard Tetak, fullback. The host team has shown a bit more scoring punch than have the Cardinals, but has been weak on defense. The Cards, on the other hand, have looked good defensively but have been unable to organize a scoring attack of any consequence.

Homecoming Tilt. The Valpo line has generally lined up with Ted Gliem and Bob Taylor, ends; Jim Sendo and Jack Lake, tackles; Duncan Garrison and Don Trampski, guards, and Ernest Heinecke, center. The contest is the Homecoming game for Valparaiso and a record crowd is expected. Incidentally it will be a home coming for four of the Cardinals who live in Valparaiso and attended high school there. They are Bob Rhoda, Bob Gray, Jack Niksch and Walt Mo-Under.

Wilson hit his 300 in the third game of his team's match with the Hotel Roberts team. Before making his 12 consecutive strikes, Wilson had posted scores of 174 and 181, making his three-game total 655. The Alexander Drugs copped only the game in which Wilson made his perfect score.

CT Joe Hart and are synonymous in this Texas town speak of one and you think of the other. Hart was born within a mile of this town, organized the first basketball team in the county and for 35 years has been coach of the game at Springtown High School.

He is the dean of coaches in Texas. Now 62, Joe figures he will retire. But he tried that once before and it didn't work. He quit just before World War II broke out. But the new basketball coach entered the service.

"We were unable to get another coach and I had to take over again," said Hart, who also is principal of Springtown Higt. "But I think I'll retire now that a lot of young fellows are coming back and want to take up coaching. I want to do a lot of fishing, you know." Hart went to school only one year but studied while playing pro baseball for 14 seasons and passed the state teachers' examination. He broke into organized baseball in 1909 with Fort Worth of the Texas League. He later played with Kansas City in the American Association and wound up his baseball career as manager of clubs in the old Texas-Oklahoma and Central Texas leagues.

Days Best Effort. Clayton Heafner of Chicago, with a second-round 69 and a halfway mark of 143, was the only other competitor still under regulation figures for the layout, which the touring pros regard as one of the nation's toughest. Heafner's 69 was the day's best effort. At even par with 144 were Dick Metz of Chicago and Henry Ransom of Ravina, III.

Metz coupled a 70 with a first-day 74 while Ransom equalled par on both days. They were one stroke ahead of Jim Ferrier of Chicago, who had 73-72, and E. J.

(NEA) Indiana University's football squad was engaged in one of its important pre-game practices. Hugh (Knocky) McKinnis, the Hoosier left halfback, lined up for the play in his usual three-point stance.

Suddenly, he turned around to Bo McMillin. "Coach, I'm not sure what I do oa this play," he drawled. "Just do what you normally do," said McMillin. "If I remember right, seems to me I just kinda single over here in motion a little not much of anything." "That's just what I mean," snapped McMillin amid laughter, "just do what you normally do not much of anything." Harry Greb Strummed Through Training But Windmill Fought at a Cyclonic Pace Back From Sea Tom -Hopes to End Drought BY JOHN F. CHANDLER.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 18. UP Capt. Tom Hamilton, the man who inaugurated the graduate coaching system at the U. S.

Naval Academy in 1934, is carrying on the Navy tradition, and fleet men hope his return means the end of the two-year football drought against Army. Navy men say that in genial Tom Hamilton, who returned to the academy this year after a tour of sea duty, they have probably the best regular navy officer in the fleet for the job. Hamilton, one of the academy's greatest all-around athletes, coached Annapolis teams from 1934-36, winning 19 of 27 games played in three seasons. Then he returned to sea and later went to war. In selecting Hamilton to succeed Comdr.

Oscar Hagberg at the Tar helm, Navy men couldn't have overlooked the fact that Captain Tom gave the Middies their first victory over Army since 1921 when his team won the 1934 game, That was on Slade Cutter's famed 20-yard field goal. Army won the following year, 28-6, but Hamilton bounced back with a 7-0 victory in 1936, and since victory in the bitter service rivalry means a successful season no matter what the other scores, Tom was solid. Navy regulations that an officer who has been on shore duty Harry Greb banjo-ukelele was among his favorite sparring partners. he did no training by often re marking on the eve of a battle: "All I need is a haircut and shave to beat this guy." Making 160 pounds bothered Greb toward the end and he lay taking off the last pounds un til the day he was to weigh in. Then he would drop into a bus nessmen's gymnasium early in the morning, and, in a rubber suit play handball, toss the medicine ball, run around the track and whatnot with the clients until it was time to hop into a taxicab and step on the scales.

The man had boundless energy, and the only thing his training lacked was regularity. And indeed, throughout his hectic 13-year period of fighting between 1913 and 1926, Harry fought so often that there was little time for training. He al ways was in condition. Greb was a speed maniac, in and out of the ring. He drove fists from all directions at his opponents, and he drove high- powered automobiles at break neck sneed.

1 During the war, Hamilton said: "This is no time to retreat. We are looking for a much more virile race and it will not come from calisthenics or jog-ing or other exercise where the incentive to excel is not present." Now 41 years old and married, with two sons, Tom was a triple threat back in his playing days at Annapolis. He drop-kicked with skill and his educated toe brought the extra point which resulted in the memorable 21-21 tie with Army at Chicago in 1926. Not generally known was the fact that Hamilton offered to resign his Navy commission and remain as a civilian coach at Annapolis after 1937, but academy authorities thought this would be a step backward for both the institution and Hamilton. In 1943, Hamilton asked for ac tive duty, and leaving the physical training program he advanced from air officer to executive offi cer on the famous "Big-E," the aircraft carrier Enterprise.

He participated in the invasion of the Gilberts, Marshalls, raids on Truk and Palau, the first and second battles of the Philippine Sea, the invasion there, at Palau and Hollandia, and raids on Formosa and Iwo Jima. He wears the Bronze Star and the Legion of Merit for heroic action, and seven battle stars. Hamilton, a native of Hoopeston, has a home now in Columbus, Ohio, when he's not at Annapolis cooking up plans to get back in the swing against the Cadets of West Point. How Top Sports Lights Are Quoted By International News Service. NEW YORK Jimmy Phelan, coach of the St.

Mary's team which will meet Fordham here Saturday: "We're here to play football" from gong to gong. We're not outstand ing, but we do have a lot of color and speed." NEW YORK Ralph Furey, Columbia's graduate director of athletics: could, have sold 20,000 more tickets for this week's Army game. Because from all indications it should be a thriller of a game, Army being Army, with its wonderful team and Columbia exciting to watch because the old maestro Lou Little has got himself a real offensive that is packed with a lot of deception." ST. LOUIS Eddie Dyer, manager of the Cardinals: "One thing, though. I was lucky to have Slaughter and Musial go all the way for me this year.

That was a break. And next year It might be different. And I don't see how Jackie Robinson can miss with the Dodgers next year." CONFUSION, INC BLACKS BURG, Oct. 18. (JP) Virgina Tech's football squad is furnishing sports announcers with plenty of headaches this season.

There are four Johnsons, three Smiths, and two each of the Spruhan, Denardo, Thomas, Taylor, Wilson and Andersoirlan. The Spruhans, Thomases and Denar dos are brothers, but the others for three years must return to sea, sent Hamilton on his way. Hamilton, who organized and di rected the naval aviation physical training program during the war, likens football to mortal combat. A great believer in the grid sport, he says that in football and war "we must seek out the oppo nent's weakness and pound upon it" and "use the element of surprise as a devastating scoring play." He is credited with saving col lege football during the war, for Navy men attending pre-fiight schools or V-12 schools were permitted to play. every advantage.

He was adept at rough and tumble and gouging, yet he outboxed such Fancy Dans as Mike Gibbons, Loughran, Rosenbloom and Tunney. He knocked out sluggers like Gun boat Smith. Greb never was one to bother about rules. Prize fighting ain't the noblest of arts," he used to say, "and I ain't the noblest of artists." Recalling one of his bone- crashing battles, Greb remarked: Chuck Wiggins was the best butter I ever butted against." Greb was born In Pittsburgh, June 7, 1894. He began fighting at 19, battled until a couple of months before he died following an operation on his nose in an Atlantic City hospital.

Right here I'd like to explode the generally accepted yarn that Greb's real name was Berg and that he spelled it backward. That was the brain child of a nimble-witted press agent. The great battler's name was Edward Henry Greb. He took the name Harry after a brother who died. His father was Pius Greb, a German-American, and his mother Irish.

Fought With One Eye. Greb's last fight was with Tiger Flowers, Aug. 19, 1926, in which he lost his middleweight cham pionship. It was a strange coincidence that the Georgia Deacon died the following year during an opera tion to remove excessive scar tissue from his eyebrows. In his last fight with Kid Nor folk in Boston, April 19, 1926, Greb suffered an injury that resulted in total blindness in his right eye when the Negro dexterously stuck his thumb into the orb.

Greb concealed the injjury from all but a few intimates, and for three years battled with the aid of only one eye, andthat one not more than three-quarters efficient. Greb's craze for speed was the indirect cause of his death. In one of his crazy rides he smashed up and his busted nose was knocked so a-kilter he couldn't breathe through it. The operation ensued, infection developed and death following quickly. Harry Greb was an iron man, all right, and it took an iron thing Tiger Veteran BY BILLY ROCHE.

The Referee. NEW YORK. Oct. 18. (NEA) When Harry Greb died 20 year ago, Oct.

22, the middleweight division practically died him. The Pittsburgh Windmill was so good they still talk about him. Handsome Harry was the last of a line of. fine fighters to hold the 160-pound championship and all things considered one of the two greatest and most colorful. Mickey Walker did a workman-like job, but the other top kick was, of course, Stanley KetcheL Greb was an anomaly.

He danced and strummed his way through training, but fought like a veritable cyclone. No opponent was too big or tough. Greb dealt Gene Tunney the licking of his life acquiring the light-heavyweight Ieadershep from the bookworm in one of the goriest battles in history at old Madison Square Garden, May 24, 1922. He was the only one to win an official decision from the Manly Marine. Greb Picked Tunney.

It was 15 months later that Greb copped the middleweight wreath by beating Southpaw JOIUUl M. pit. In four subsequent matches, Tunney finally caught up with and overtook Greb. It was this that led the Windmill to be one of the mighty few to pick the Greenwich Village product to win the heavyweight championship from Dempsey. Greb, five-foot eight, clean-cut, dapper, brown-haired and blue-eyed, was a Beau Brummel.

Greb resembled Ketchel in build, fe.ritcteristics and temperament, but they were two entirely different types of fighters. Old Steve belted the other fellow out with a punch. Handsome Harry smothered him with punches, hence the simiime. the Pittsburgh Wind mill. Both loved the fleshpots of life avidly yet were nosiennuus when it came to hard liquor.

Both bet their entire purses on themselves or anybody else they Because of Greb's fondness for night clubs the legend grew that vr nver trained, but Handsome Harry was cute, put in plenty of 1 TT licks conditioning was while the slick floors af bistros felt the glide of his dancing Torktowo Tiger Player Class Height Weight Bertsel Hodson Sr. 5-8 140 Bob Fadely Sr. 6-3 160 Dick Estep Sr. 6-0 155 Keith Morrison Sr. 5-9 145 Pepper Byerly Sr.

Gone are Dick Ellison, Bob Griffis, Rex Jones and Max Humes, regulars, and Howard McVicker, John Brandon, Darrell Johnson and Kenny Yingling, reserves.

Loss of such fine players as included in this group makes it necessary for' Coach May to do a rebuilding job from the ground up. A host of second team players is available, but all lack varsity experience. May, a native of Caivnelton, where he played baseball, basketball and six-man football, attended Ball State where he was a member of the baseball team. He graduated from college in 1942 and after a -brief teaching tenure at Yorktown entered the armed forces where he served until his discharge a year ago. He resumed his teaching duties at Yorktown during the second semester and moved into the head coach job when Ted Scropos, last year's coach, resigned.

8 Figure to Win Half The new Yorktown mentor plans to cut his squad to 20 early next week. He will employ Freshmen and Sophomores exclusively on his second team and will devote much time to training this younger group.
