"Pick's" big brother, Gene, went to Army some years ago and was i responsible for the cadets' win over the middies in 1916.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Dec. 1 (UP) Floyd Caves (Babe) Herman, eccentric and hard-hitting outfielder, today became the property of the Chicago Cubs in the first step toward bolstering the 1932 National League champions. The Cubs gave the Cincinnati Reds Outfielders Johnny Moore and Lance Richbourg, Pitcher Bob Smith, Catcher Rollie Hemseley and a "bale of cash" as President William Veeck termed the financial part of the transaction. Herman, ranked one of the greatest hitters in the National League, is expected to add considerable strength to the Cubs' attack which dwindled to a whisper in the world series with the New York Yankees. Herman is the first slugging left-handed hitter the Cubs have had in years.

Hornsby, Cuyler, English, Stephenson and Hack Wilson have hit from the right side of the plate. Bob Smith, who is nearlng 35, won only four games while losing three last year. Rollie Hemseley, a brilliant prospect who failed to live up to expectations, was twice suspended last year for breaking training rules. John Moore, a left-handed batter, was benched against southpaws and was weak against good right-handed pitching. Lance Richbourg spent part of last season in the minors and was recalled toward the end of the Herman is expected to aid the Cubs on the field, and also at the turnstiles.

Since Hack Wilson left the Cubs, the team has been without a colorful figure for the bleacher bugs. Herman is expected to fill that gap nicely. RECREATION CLUB KU.NKKI.'S TIHFS 1 (i. tf'l (i 1 Kn.Mi-kie H2 Zi'Kli'ls 1S6 147 Knnitis Iii7 146 Brosky 177 107 G. T1.

Of those 32 games, Army has won II, Navy 12, and 3 have been ties. Alter the first tour games, two played at West Point and two at Annapolis, the teams have staged their an nual encounters on foreign fields, alternating between pmiaaeipnia ana New York, with one game in Balti- more and one in Chicago. THE situation this year gives every indication of producing one of the best football games seen in the country.

Navy, coming along slow, revealed unexpected defensive strength in its tilt with Notre Dame. Army, a mountain of scoring punch up until its 21-0 drubbing at the hands of the Irish, is still plenty good. The Irish scored only 12 points against Navy, as against 21 run up on Army. Those figures should make the Navy a toucn- down better defensively than the Army. Yet, anyone i t-nessed the quag mire in wmcn tne middies and Irish battled at cieve- land can see why the oovs from South Bend didn't run up a Bigger score.

rhe West Point- 0rK fire hOlind tO be a bit peeved at tnat Deating oy Then there are Koocsak. end: Kenler is one burning sports problem BY HENRY SUPER (United Press Btaff Correspondent) New York, Dec. 1 (UP) The Middles from Annapolis will ring a bell that has not been rung since 1921 if they return to the Naval Academy Saturday from Philadelphia with a football victory over Army. Coach Flip Miller has said that only a miracle or two can bring that victory. The Middies are overlooking no hunches or superstitions in their effort to work that miracle.

The old Japanese bell at the Naval Academy is rung only when Navy beats Army at football. The last time it clanged was when the late Bob Folwell, former Pennsylvania fullback, coached the Middies to a 7 tc 0 victory here in New York. The Army won the next six years, jSien ties were played. In both games, arranged as post-season with the exception of 1923 and 1926, affairs in 1930 and 1931, the West Pointers also won. Now, after an 11-year wait, the Middies are faithfully carrying out their pre-game traditions with the hope they will help "beat Army." Beginning early Saturday morning the Naval Academy corps of 1,800 will march out of the gate and 'each Middy will throw a handful of pennies at the statue of Tecumseh.

This, in addition to helping beat Army, is profitable for the children of the officers stationed at Annapolis. They get up at dawn and scramble for the coppers. When the Middies pass thru Baltimore en route to Philadelphia, they will pull down the shades of their special train. Tradition says that for a midshipman to look upon Baltimore before a football game, especially with the Army, is to court defeat. Army has no such pre-game antics.

It saves its celebration until after the game is over. If Army wins, the mule will get another gold star for his grey blanket, and the Navy goat's jacket will go into the trophy room at West Point. West Point, N. Dec. 1 (UP) Following a short workout on the grains today, Army's football squad 'JBull move on Philadelphia for Saturday's battle with Navy.

The team will be quartered at the Valley Forge Military Academy at Wayne, where it will remain in seclusion until Saturday noon. Practice yesterday found all players injured in the Notre Dame game, with the exception of Quarterback Vidal, back in the lineup. The Cadets held a rally in the mess hall at supper, with speeches by Major General William D. Connor, Head Coach Ralph Sasse, and Captain Summerfelt. Annapolis, Dec.

1 (UP) The Navy will start the same line against Army that it has been using all season, but Clark, and not the Hawaiian, Chung Hoon, will be at left halfback, Head Coach Rip Miller announced today. Campbell, regular fullback until he was injured several weeks ago, will be in the starting backfield against Army. Navy held a long workout yesterday, with special stress being laid on pass defense and kicking. The team will leave for Philadelphia late today. Pulaski Starts Cage Drive With Impressive Win Jvnfor High Lads Outclass St Anthony Eaglets by Score of 34 to Palace Star.

Playing before a huge crowd in the gymnasium at Brady, Pulaski high completely overwhelmed a fighting, determined group of basketeers, namely, the St. Anthony's Eaglets. The final score was 34 to 8. With the aid of Shorty Jasleski, center, the entire team clicked smoothly. Scintillating on the offense was the dependable Pulaski forward, Palacz, with a total of 12 points.

He was ably assisted by his running mates, Fer-ence and Stanklewicz, with a sum total of 6 and 4 points, respectively. The guarding posts were capably n. p. ti. Ordakoskie, rr 7 14 SlMiver-, IT 8 A 1 liurskip, ir no Bznra, i 10 2 k'Ulct.

1 Navv nns had Two Fast Squads Will Oppose Each Other Tomorrow Night. The Weslcyan basketball arena on Lincoln street will be the scene of another torrid melee of basketball tomorrow night when Shamokin's Big Five, one of the most powerful basketball combinations ever to represent Shamokin on the wooden way will cross loops with a rangy and shifty group from Mahanoy City. Richards, rated as the most valuable center ever turned out of Mahanoy high, will square off with Shlve-ly of the locals. In Woerner, Wanchulis, Jones and other former Red and Black aces, the invaders will present a formidable lineup, all having gained recognition at some time or other while playing under the flag of Mahanoy Ctiy high school. They go thru their final rehearsal this evening, at which time they expect to reel into shape to take the local combination into camp.

On the other hand, Coach Barr of the Big Five is about ready to administer the fininshing touch to his proteges, who he believes will emerge victorious over the invading Black and Red crew tomorrow night at 8:30, following a preliminary. Manager Renninger asserted that the Big Five will be in for a gruesome campaign, as he has scheduled all first class attractions to appear here at some time during this season. The same lineup as appeared against the Omicron five will see action tomor row, while material of equal value will occupy the sidelines for immediate insertion into the fray. SPORTS PARADE -By Henry McLemore- New York. Dec.

1 (UP) No soon- solved than another Dora up to tane its place. Not so long ago it was "who is go- ing to manage the Cincinnati That one was answered by the ap- i nointment of Donie Bush. Now it's "who is going to coach Fordham at football in 1933?" Whoever gets the job will be in a lot sweeter spot than Brother Busti, for Donie, strive as he may, is likeiy to wind up behind the front porch and seven other teams. But the fellow who gets Fordham, be it Warner, Neyland, Stuhldreher, Joy, Madigan, Crowley, or Pete the Iceman, stands a swell chance of snatching the national championship in his first year at the school. That's on the level.

A national championship for Fordham next year is entirely within reason. Fordham. once it quit trying to use two and three complete teams a game, got I sive defeats of St. Mary's, Oregon State, and N. Y.

U. Well, of all the some 40-odd men who wore varsity uniforms this yeav, only three will be last by graduation. iiiui viic iijuti At. material, most of which is big, strong and tough, the more one is convinced that the biggest job Fordham's 1933 coach will have will be to set the hour for practice. Heading this array of talent is a young man by the name of Ed Dan-owski' who, if he comes along as fast next year as he did in 1932, is likely to wind up as the best back in the country.

When the season started this year nobody had heard of Danowski. When it ended everybody had. A strong runner, Danowski is probably the best kicker and passer in the east. He pegs the sort of pass aU great passers toss, meaning his tos ses are fast and accurate, yet easy to pull down. All you need to say about his kicking is that he outboot-ed Bob McNamara of N.

Y. one whale of a kicker. Around these parts it is believed that Jimmy Crowley of Michigan State will be the boy to succeed the ailing Frank Cavanaugh. Also that Cavanaugh. despite his ill health, will move on to Lafayette, with Hiker Joy, the major's assistant, replacing Captain John McEwan at Holy Cross.

Crowley would be popular at Fordham, just as he'd be popular at Georgia, Stanford, Slippery Rock, Long Island Dental, Maine, of whereevei he went. For Jimmy has what it takes to succeed coaching ability and personality. ButN for the life of us we can't see how Fordham can deny Joy the job, granting, of course, that the Hiker wants it. For it was Joy, working under the handicap of not actually being in absolute charge who, when Cavanaugh was forced to lay off this year, took hold and brought Fordham on. It would seem only fair that he be given a shot at running tne whole show.

Furman amazed the football world by holding the Army to 13 points. One of those Army touchdowns came directly as the result of a penalty on Furman for clipping while uhe ball was in mid-air, giving Army the ball deep in Furman's territory. But for that break, Furman would have held the cadets to a touchdown. And two years ago Furman, under a different coach, was swamped by the Army, 54 to 0. Major Sasse declared it was the toughest opening game Army ever played.

That game probably "made" the Army team, for since then they have crushed all opposition except Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. In eight games, the Purple Hurricane scored 163 points, and allowed but three touchdowns, two of them by Army. Five teams, Mercer, Davls-Elkins, Citadel, Wofford and Erskine, got no further than Furman's 30-yard line. And South Carolina could do no better than Furman's 15-yard line, although they boast one of the greatest passers in Grayson Wolfe. Newberry, of S.

0., scored on touchdown in the opening game of the season on a pass. Furman's record follows' Furman, 26, Newberry Furman 0, Army 13; Furman 58, Erskine Furman 19, Davis-Elkins Furman 2, Mercer Furman 20, Citadel Furman 24, Fofford Furman 14, South Carolina 0. Furman already has captured th Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship this season, with no defeats and five victories. McLeod's varsity basketball team. the Purple Dervishes, have ruled aoucn Carolina basketball for years.

They have lost but one cage game In the state since the 1928-28 season. In 1929-30 they made a clean sweep of 17 college games against southen foe" and shared the southern championship with Alabama. McLeod coached the Furman fresb-nian football team for three years before his varsity debut. In his firs year he finished in a three-cornered tip for the state title, and in 1930 and 1931 his teams were undefeated.

For Army and the Navy are to battle not witn bombs, field pieces, anti-aircraft guns and torpedoes, but with footballs.

This game, steeped with football lore that dates back to 1890, owes its origin to a bold band of Navy buccaneers who brazenly issued a challenge to West Point to have it out on the football field that year and who, adding insult to injury, proceeded to drub the cadets 24-0. The ghost who enters the picture is that of Dennis M. Michie, captain and coach of the first two football squads produced at West Point. It was he who after receiving the challenge from the Navy upstarts, hastily organized an Army squad and coached it. Michie had played football at Dartmouth prior to entering West Point.

He had won an Indian letter and, when the challenge came, he got together the Army's first football squad.

Dec. 1 The real "miracle man" of southern football this season is Paul "Dizzy" McLeod, head coach of Furman University's Purple Hurricane. Taking over the head coaching job this year after two undefeated campaigns as a freshman coach, McLeod, a former all-state tackle at Furman in 1922 and 1923, took a squad riddled by the graduation of many veterans and built it into a machine of near football perfection.

Paul "Dizzy" McLeod not so dizzy when he's coaching football. The Furman Hurricane has conquered everything to cross its path in the south, including South Carolina, Mercer, Dixie Conference champions, Davis-Elkins and The Citadel. Furman whipped the South Carolina Gamecocks, a great defensive team, by 14 points, more than Tulane and Louisiana State University combined were able to score on the Gamecocks.
