The only way the Chicago Bears could escape winning the western division title would be for them to lose to the' Chicago Cardinals today, and there's little chance of that. The Cards haven't won a game this season. Even if the Bears did lose, they'J still have to playoff with the Green Bay Packers for the western honors, providing the Packers whip the Phil-Pitt Eagle- in Philadelphia next week. On the other end of the loop, Washington Redskins are threatened for their eastern division title by the Nev? York Giants and the Phil-Pitt Eagles. To attain their objective, the Giants and Eagles would have to go through their remaining three games undefeated.

That would entail the involved and difficult procedure of Phil-Pitt defeating the Redskins in Washington today and Green Bay in Philadelphia next Sunday, while the Giants are disposing of Brooklyn today, then following with a pair of triumphs over the Redskins on consecutive week ends.

(U.P.) Exactly as advertised, the Iowa Navy Pre Flight school's Sea-hawks were terrific Saturday and with a last-half rush they mauled the Minnesota Gophers over the frozen field of Memorial stadium for "a 32-0 victory. The Seahawks, held to one touchdown in the first half, cut Art Guepe loose for two scoring sorties in the first four minutes of the third period to remove what doubt had existed as to the outcome. Quarterback James Smith, 1942 Illinois captain, made a second-quarter touchdown and Halfback Richard Kay on a plunge and End John Clements on a pass, each got one in the fourth. Smith, whose power charges behind Center William Olson and Guard George Tobin repeatedly bowled back the Gopher line, got his score in a five-yard stab that completed a drive of 56 yards. Frank Maznicki, missed the point.

Guepe, the former Marquette All-American, cut loose the first time on the second play after the third quarter kick off. It was a 53-yard ramble, with End Richard Burk getting credit for an assist with a downfield block that cut out two tacklers. Three minutes later Guepe zipped through the middle and raced 66 yards without being touched for his second touchdown. Maznicki missed the first conversion try and Guard Richard McGregor made the second good. Ted Curran passed to Clements for a 25-yard gain and a score on the first play of the fourth quarter and John Brenanan, a guard, kicked the point.

Kay went over from the three later In the game, after he had passed to Donald McGregor and a 31-yard gain to the Minnesota seven. Nick Me FlAiBP His FboTSAtu i G. I t.

But their disap 10 years from now, especially on going back to Philadelphia's mam for these things, some still are wondering why this game was sent into seclusion while the two teams were permitted to travel almost at will for games against other opponents. Another angle to this one had to do with the outspoken misgivings of the respective coaches, who, to have heard them tell it all week, saw no chance of a victory for his own eleven. Capt. John Whelchel, the Navy coach, was particularly pessimistic, despite the fact that he has headed the best Navy team to perform in years, or one of the best. Fair Or Foul By LAWTON CARVER (International News Service Sport Writer) WEST POINT, N.

Y. This Army-Navy football game played Saturday in little Michie stadium will be remembered for its uniqueness when the score and the names of the stars long-since have been forgotten. The 44th presentation of a thing that has been causing increasing demands for seats from among the fanatics year by year since its inception in 1890 will live NEBRASKA, 26-7, AMID FUMBLES LINCOLN, Neb.T-Oklp.homa's Big Six conference champions experienced little difficulty Saturday tn defeating the University of Nebraska football team, 28 to 7, before a chilled crowd of 4,000. The Oklahoma team scored once In every period and it was only after a new Sooner eleven was substituted early in the fourth quarter that the hapless Nebraskans made appreciable headway. Then Ted Kenfield, J5.Vpound quarterback, and Kenneth Hollins, Nebraska fullback, opened a long pass attack that culminated in a Nebraska touchdown.

The first period was marked by a series of fumbles by both teams. Bob Brumley, leading scorer of the conference, fumbled twice and each time Nebraska recovered, once on the Oklahoma 28. Ken field promptly returned the favor, however, and his fumble on the Oklahoma 25 was recovered by May-wield of Oklahoma. A few moments later Earl Eager of Nebraska fumbled on his own 29 and Merle Dinkins of Oklahoma recovered. Lebow then passed to W.

G. Wooten for a touchdown. Brumley's kick was no good. Oklahoma, sparked by Lebow, Brumley and Wooten, wasted little time In the second period before Brumley plunged nine yards for a touchdown. He also kicked the point.

Brumley, probably the busiest man on Oklahoma's team, tore through the Nebraska line, slipped through tacklers and tossed a few passes to account for the third Sooner touchdown. He carried It over from the one-foot line but failed to kick the point. Lloyd Meinert accounted for the fourth touchdown on the second play of the final period by going through the line. Brumley added the point.

The brilliant halftrack from Wau-kegan, 111., during his three years at Northwestern, broke all Big Ten forward passing records and tied the conference single game scoring mark. The performances that put him among the all-time Big Ten football greats include: Completion of 157 passes out of 321 for 2.1G2 yards, an average of .489 for three years.

Married and the father of two daughters, Appling is 34 years old. He arrived in Chicago yesterday from his Atlanta, home and at 7:30 a. m. reported to draft board No.

Landis, baseball commissior er, and Leslie O'Connor, secretary of the commissioner's office, left for New York Saturday where next week the annual meetings for major ana minor ball leagues will be held. Although the meetings will not open until Wednesday, Landis and O'Connor apparently wish to be on hand ahead of time because of the import of contemplated rule changes. PLAN TO REJUVENATE PHILADELPHIA PHILS PHILADELPHIA (INS) Plans for strengthening the 1944 Phillies were under way in earnest Saturday following the initial conference between Bob Carpenter, new Phils' president, and his team manager, Freddie score in the third period for the tirst time this year but eurged back in a powerful last period march that culminated in what ap peared to be the winning scote when Creighton Miller, All-America candidate, scored from the one foot line to give the Irish a 14-11 lead In the last minute and 11 seconds of play. Then came the Great Lakes desperate heave that rocked the Irish and the crowd of 22.000 sailors wit a its startling effectiveness. Steve Lach, former Duke AH.

America and pro star, threw a 17 yard pass that put the ball on the 46. On the next play he dropped back to his own 43 and heaved a 54-yard pass to Paul Anderson, lone figure who stod waiting on the goal line without a Notre Dame player within 15 yards of him. Anderson gathered the ball In and stepped across the goal end Steve Juzwik. former Notre Dame star, who had failed on two previous kicks, made the conversion that gave the Sailors their 19-14 triumph. The first period began In typical Notre Dame fashion.

The Irish machine opened a business-like rythmic assault that carried them 8 yartiri to a touchdown Jrt seven minutes. Johnny Lujack Caught the kickoff on the 20, returned tt to the 33, and then In 14 power plays and two passes, Notre Dame drove to the one-foot line, where Lujack scored on a quarterback sneak and Fred Earley converted to hand the Irish a 70-leai. After getting their hands on the ball long enouRh to run only two plays in the first 13 minutes, the Sailors etarted a late period drive that carried over inlo the second quarter as pesky little Emil Sitko, a five-foot, seven-inch back who played for the Notre Dame freshmen last year, plagued the Irish by making runs of 23, 10 and 33 yards, the first of which was called back on a holding penalty Sitko's spark, coupled with the ramming drives of Dewey Proctor, former Furman star, paid off in the third period. Sitko scored on a 24-yard end sweep after Great Lakes had driven 71 yards on nine running plays and one pass in five minutes. Then Proctor look over Again running 23 yards from his own 20.

After a six-yard gain by Sitko, Proctor ripped off 51 yards for another score, shaking off Irish tacklers en route. Great Lakes led 12-7. Recapturing the come-back power it exhibited last week against low Pre-Flight, Notre Dame began It deliberate workmanship to gain another touchdown late in the finAl period and it appeared that once again the Irish "bounce back" powers had saved the day. But Lach, Injured most of the season, still had shot-ln-the-dnric It wan a high, arching pass that dropped to Anderson for the score as the Notre Dame defense stood flat-footed. Women's Dcxrtball with the bum's rush before they pointment will be as keen as ever those occasions when they will be moth stadium to see a game between two service teams that had been manhandled by other foes all season.

Saturday's game was the kind from a standpoint of records that addicts of the Army-Navy game wait a lifetime to see. But for the setbacks involved for both in meetings with Notre Dame they would have entered the engagement unbeaten. There may not be another such pair of Army-Navy teams in the same season for years and years and years. And even though Uncle Sam doesn't have to give explanations Kerasiotis missed the goal try. Minnesota mustered two threats.

One, In the second quarter, was engineered by Wayne Williams' passing and running and reached the Seahawk four, where a fumble ended it. Tom Cates running carried the ball to the Navy 10 in the last minute of the game, but three passes were incomplete. The figures testified to the Sea-hawks' power, the winners rolling up 458 yards rushing as compared with 103 for the Gophers. USC BEATS UCLA IN FUMBLE TEST LOS ANGELES (U.P.) University of Southern California's Trojans, already signed for the Rose bowl, stumbled and fumbled to a 26 to 13 victory over the University of California at Los Angeles Saturday in the wackiest, daffiest dish of football ever served up in huge Memorial coliseum history. So ridiculous was the clash between the two home town teams, 40,000 fans were beginning to wonder if the game's script wasn't written by the Marx brothers.

Of the six touchdowns only two were results of good football. USC, already termed by Coach Jeff Cravath the "champion fum-blers in the country," was in rare form, dropping the ball eight times, the last two coming in two successive plays when the Trojans were on the UCLA one foot line in the final quarter. The Bruins apparent aversion to the pigskin was nearly as great. They fumbled five times. The Trojans were able to pull themselves together for a short period in the final quarter when they put four plays together for a 55-yard march to a touchdown to break up what had been a wild and wooly 13-13 deadlock.

Men's Dortball half Saturday to beat Army at its own land-marching game, 13-0, for the Middies fifth straight victory in the gridiron's most colorful series. A small crowd of 15.000 in Michie stadium saw the Sailors achieve touchdowns on short line plunges in the third and fourth periods, making a successful visit for the Gobs, who had not played on a West Point gridiron in 51 years. The crowd, restricted to residents within a 10-mile radius of West Point and the 2,500 members of the cadet corps, cheered In frenzy during the first half when Army's gold-helmeted Cadets actually out-played the invaders. It seemed then that nothing could prevent Army from breaking Navy's victory string at four straight. But Army's defenses seemed to crumble in the second half as Sailor Backs knifed and battered through the line for long gains that led to the two touchdowns.

Navy's single wingback performers garnered their first touchdown against Army's formation midway in the third period when Bob Jenkins, 188-pound left halfback from Talladega, Ala, slashed through tackle from the two-yard line to climax a 43-yard march that had been featured by Hal Ham-berg's 28-yard pass to Hillis Hume. Vic Finos, sub back, came in and kicked the extra point. The other Sailor marker was achieved early in the fourth period, when Jim Pettit 170-pound sub right half from Portland, cracked right guard from the six-inch stripe. His tally completed a 65-yard drive that opened at the close of the third period. Finos missed on the conversion attempt.

TULSA, TECH SET FOR SUGAR BOWL NEW ORLEANS (U.P.) Tulsa university's undefeated, but tied Golden Hurricane, which last New Year's day fought bitterly before losing to Tennessee In the Sugar Bowl, will return to the New Orleans annual football classic again to play Georgia Tech, Sugar bowl officials announced Saturday. Participants in the 10th annu 1 Sugar bowl gridiron tussle were announced after Georgia Tech captured the Southeastern conference gridiron title by swamping Georgia Tech, 48 to 0. Tulsa closed out its season on Thanksgiving day, overwhelming University of Arkansas, 61 to 0 in one of the nation's highest scoring major college football ictories of the season. Tulsa was tied by Southwestern of Texas, 6 to 6, in its only blot of the season. "Spark plug of the Tulsa team," Joe David, president of the Midwinter Sports association.

Sugar bowl game sponsor, said, "is Clyde LeForce. His record compares favorably with that of brilliant Eddie Prokop, the outstanding back of Georgia Tech." Tech, in 10 games this season, amassed a total of 280 points while giving up 124 for seven victories and three defeats. They lost to Notre Dame, Duke and Navy. "Fans who saw the 1942 Sugar bowl classic know that Tulsa's Coach Henry Frinka, is one who can bring a team up to a big game in fine form," David said. "The game last year which Tulsa lost to Tennessee, 14 to 7, was one of the most thrilling in Sugar bowl history.

We fully expect another great game when the Golden Hurricane meets the Yellow Jackets of Tech." DAFFY DIAMOND CHIEF SWORN INTO MARINES MILWAUKEE (U.P.) President Bill Veeck of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball club Saturday discarded the daffy diamond antics that made his team the most colorful in the American association while it won the 1943 pennant and was sworn in as a buck private in the U. S. marine corps. The oath was administered to the 30-year old baseball executive by Capt. Robert H.

Rankin, officer in charge of marine corps recruiting for Wisconsin and upper Michigan.

He is scheduled to leave Dec. 6 for "boot" training at San Diego, Cal. O'NEILL TO MANAGE DETROIT TIGERS AGAIN DETROIT (U.P.)

Crown Point bogged down badly In the final eight minutes of play after having staged a 13-point rally in the third period to gain a 2tK25 lead and the Panthers went ahead to score 10 points to cinch the victory- Lew Wallace, In its first home game, sought to show fans how the Hornets had claimed two previous road victories but a last-quarter rally failed to save the game for them after the Cavemen launched a rally of their own.

Did it mean that the major leagues, now in the process of planning for 1944, might never get to the ball parks with their opening day ceremonies? "I know of no particular threat along that line, save from baseball's own problems," was the reply. It was broadly hinted that hereafter baseball, which had enjoyed a degree fo immunity from military induction during the run of the season, might find itself suddenly set upon by the draft boards. In fact, upward of 50 majors leaguers have been sucked into the voracious maw of the war machine in the month and a half since the close of the World Series. Was this the impelling urge behind Senator Lucas' appeal in congress for a survival of the game? W.

WALSH (INS Sports Writer) CHICAGO There seemed to be an element of hidden significance about the situation the other day when Sen. Scott Lucas of Illinois stood on the floor of the senate in Washington and spoke rather urgently for the continuation of baseball next year.

We set out to contact the senator last night with the idea of finding out what this might be all about and at least succeeded In one respect. We contacted the senator. "There are two factors that must be kept in mind In connection with he said oracularly, but not too helpfully. "One is that the earne, now more than ever before. faces the dual problem of man nower and transportation.
