Can't do much trimming there, Babe; weed out its Spartan team this afternoon from the 50-odd players who were left after the Headman selected the 26 top performers for personal instruction. Chances are good that Coach very silly sounding question was put to Howard Jones.

It was, "Who is that man?" There was nothing else to say. Jones' eye lit and smiled as he said, "That is Doyle Nave." Nave! Your reporter said, "Oh!" There was nothing else to say. The single presentable excuse is that the question was asked by one who attended the last Rose Bowl game via trans-Pacific radio while sitting on a Hawaiian beach with a glass of pineapple juice in his paw. Quite a Moment It was quite a moment. As you know, but 40 seconds remained before the completion of Duke's 600th consecutive minute of perfect defensive football when a touchdown pass was snapped to Al Krueger and bye-bye great Duke record, ball game and all laurels attached to Rose Bowl winners.

A boy 22 years old then reached the heights of glory. Doyle Nave, that evening, must have needed strength of character to hold down mounting emotions as friends, strangers shooks the hand which threw that pass and gave victory to his team and the chance to cheer for hundreds of thousands of its supporters. To all and sundry, then, Doyle Nave was a Hero, large H. And I asked who he was! Public Wants Nave It takes no crystal-gazing seer to foretell that this season many people in the Coliseum will remember that when El Trojan was seemingly doomed to take to himself a nice shellacking, Doyle Nave stepped in, did his stuff and how. They will want to see him do it again.

It might even be that when Schindler, Lansdell, Peoples, Hoffman et al. are having a hard time hurdling an opponent, cliques in the grandstand will chant in unison, "We want Nave! We want Nave!" They will get him occasionally. Doyle Nave will see action for the Trojans this fall. He has earned his shot and Howard Jones said so as recently as last Saturday. In Tough Spot But, when and if he plays, other "factors must be considered in addition to a desire to see the Rose Bowl hero flip passes or, second, an unbacked opinion that he could get a touchdown, easily.

Nave Is in the toughest of spots. Opponents will be expecting passes when he is in the game. They will rush him. They will cover his receivers like war propaganda covers the truth. Nave success as a passer now depends more upon the ability of his receivers to get loose than upon his own ability as a ball thrower.

If they cannot be sprung into the open, that may not justify criticism of them, either. There is always the possibility the other guys may be good, too, and not permit even Trojan receivers to run unattended. Nave to Play Little Ollie Day played the second half of the Duke game because his kicking was vitally needed. Not just good kicking would fill the bill, great kicking was called for. This year kicking will also be needed and far better punters are on the Trojan squad than Doyle Nave.

Trams may or may not pass; but they must kick. As a hall carrier the problem child of Southern California is among the finest. Howard Jones says that one of the prettiest pieces of running he saw last year was Nave stepping down the field to score in the Oregon game. For a great part of the jaunt he was swerving and feinting within six inches of the sideline. But and here is the point Mr.

Nave has the misfortune of being on the same squad with a Mr. Schindler and a Mr. Lansdell. If he is a good ball carrier, they are great. They will be in the game most of every Saturday afternoon and he will not.

Will Warm Bench The hero of the last Pasadena battle will spend most of his time this season rubbing splinters into his pants on the sunny Southern' California bench. The crowds will acclaim others, not he. Elsewhere than at S.C. Doyle Nave would undoubtedly be a regular, perhaps even a star tasting each Saturday to a lesser but far more consistent degree the fun and glory that was his for one day. As it is, with better signal callers, kickers and ball carriers on his team, Doyle Nave must sit back and patiently await another Rose Bowl game, another 40-seconds-to-go of a record-breaking 600th minute, another opportunity and time to be, once again, the Hero.

BUSHMAN TO LEAD VENICE by comparison to his great showing this summer. PLENTY OF CONFIDENCE None of the critics, however, can find anything wrong with Welby's confidence. When he had trouble in the first two sets against Wayne Sabin, he said: "I knew I was bad, but I couldn't stay that bad for three sets not while I was conscious." On another occasion he stated: "After all, it took Vines only two years to reach the top. And they say my style is something like his." You can't keep a guy like that down. DON'T YELL "BOB" One thing not to do in front of the Trojan football squad is to yell "Bob!" You're apt to be trampled under foot because eight stalwarts will rush forward.
