26. Perhaps this has nothing to do with sports, although no greater baseball fan and certainly no more faithful rooter for the Yankees ever existed than Bo jangles Bill Robinson. We learned the original Twinkle-toes was dead as our train slid into the station here and swarms of handsome young Midshipmen and Cadets swirled us along in a tide of pretty girls and yellow chrysanthemums. There was life and laughter and glowing eyes all around us, and the electric tension that precedes every big sports classic. But we stopped to thumb through the early editions and we took time out to think back Fullback: Called Hack (xw8obJrTmw.i.) Fullback Larry Higgins passes his own 40-yard line after catching toss by Dick Doheny in first period, while rival fullback Joe Novotney (10) gives futile chase.

Higgins reached enemy 40. only to be called back when play was nullified by illegal nse of hands. ttams Thrash NVU, 34-6; to one of the most moving scenes we have ever watched on a television screen. This night Bill was prompted to go on stage as an amateur hou was winding up. Robinson was asked to give advice to a wonderful young Negro tap dancer just starting out in show business.

There was the kid, and there was old Bill at the end of the trail much closer to the end, we now know, than he knew, or anyone else knew, except The Man who keeps the Box Score upstairs. Talk as Expressive as His Feet You could see the tears leaking out of Bill's eyes and his voice grew husky and he stammered a bit. He said to the youngster, "It isn't what you do on the stage that counts, it's what you do off stage." It was a fine talk, a touching talk that came through the loudspeaker, un BohenyA ivarded Trophy By Dick Young Yesterday's Fordham-NYU thing at the Polo Grounds proved one thing to the 17,114 fans it proved that Hook Mylin had good reason for calling quits to his coaching career at University Heights. The fans, while watching Fordham renearsea, we are quite sure, ana compemng in its sincerity. We meant to compliment Bill about it the next time we saw him at the Garden because Bill was a fight bug, too, and he used to chat with us on Friday nights and talk about our TV fight commentary.

"You got to be enthusiastic, but you got to keep a judicial mind. Pay no 'tention to whether they're white or black, just think of two boya out there doin the best they know how." Bill was giving advice lavishly to everyone, it seems, in his last days. Perhaps he sensed, after he passed 70, that it was only a question of time. He wanted to give someone the benefit of his years of experience dancing up and down our land, gladdening hearts, making soma of us forget our troubles as he chuckled and yipped and went bouncing up and down the hollow wooden stage steps in his famous routine. That simple statement of Bill's on television, the last time his voica was to echo in our ears, was not a classic farewell speech to be treasured for the ages, perhaps, but it did give one and all a look into tha heart of a wise old trouper.

Bill and Joe Louis, too. with his war-tima "God is on our side," brought the American people realization that Negroes were and are just as fine and faithful and devout Americans as any of us. Rest in peace, Bill, old boy. Bob Williams connected on a 40- yard payoff pass to Leon Hart to start the Irish scoring. Another first quarter touchdown came on a 43-yard return of a pass interception by Irish safety man John Pe-titbon.

In the second quarter Emil Sitko smashed across from the five-yard line. Sieve Oracko connected on only one of his three point tries. FIRST PERIOD Southern Cal kicked off on Notre Dame's second play, Coutre fumbled with USC's Barnes recovering on the Irish 26. The Trojans advanced to the Irish 13. Schneider went back to pass and Hart barreled through to knock the ball out of his hand.

Mutscheller recovered on the Irish 22. An exchange of punts put the Irish back on their 5. Notre Dame edged back to its 28 and" Williams punted. Southern Cal gambled on a fourth-down pass which was knocked down by Hel- wig and ND took over on the Iro-jan 40. Three plays later, Williams passed to Hart, who grabbed the ball on USC's 10 and ambled across for a touchdown, covering 40 yards.

Oracko added the point and Notre Dame led, 7-0. Little more than a minute later, Powers' pass was intercepted by Petitbon, who raced 43 yards down the sidelines for the second ND touchdown. Oracko's point try was blocked bv Jessup. Score: ND 13, Southern Cal 6. SECOND PERIOD Southern Cal plugged from its 25 to its 46, but the Irish stiffened.

Williams, trying to pass, was dumped for a 10-yard loss on the Irish 20 by McMurtry. The Irish signal-caller tried a pass from his 10 and it was intercepted by Rogers, who returned to the Irish 27. The Trojans called on Martin for line-hammering, but the Irish held and took over on their 19. Williams punted to USC's 44. Schneider cut loose with three passes and connected two short ones, but the Trojans yielded on downs on ND's 35.

Roundy returned an Irish punt 29 yards to Notre Dame's 41, but the Trojans yielded on ND's 30. After an exchange of punts, Roundy touched Williams' 55-yard spiraling boot and fumbled, Barrett recovering on USC's 30. Barrett slashed 19; Hart, running from fullback, smashed eight, and then Sitko barged five yards for a touchdown. Oracko's point try was wide, and Notre Dame led, 19-0. Sitko rambled 38 yards to Southern California's 14 just before the half ended.

Score: ND 19, USC 0. THIRD PERIOD Notre Dame marched 60 yards in 12 plays for a fourth touchdown when Spaniel squirmed across from the 3. Coutre, with a 13-yard thrust, and a pair of five-yard smashes, led the assault. Oracko's point try was blocked by Nix, giving ND a 25-0 lead. Southern Cal.

came hack with a march from its 36 to ND's 15, engineered mainlv on a 39-yard pass, Powers to Stillwell. A fourth Down Powers' pass failed on Notre Dame's 15 and the Irish took over. The Irish paraded to Southern Cal's 19 in a drive highlighted by Spaniel's 29-yard run. Williams' pass, however, was intercepted by Rogers, who lateralled to Roundy on the Trojan 12. Southern CaL failed to gain, but so did Notre Dame in Trojan territory.

Powers' pass was intercepted by Gay on the Trojan 17. Period ended. Score: ND 25, Southern Cal. 0. FOURTH PERIOD Notre Dame's fifth touchdown came early on a 54-yard drive which required nine plays.

Barrett scored on a one-foot plunge after taking a pass from Williams for a gain to the Trojan 26. Again, in this drive. Hart was utilized as a plunging ball-carrier. Oracko converted to give ND a 32-0 lead. Southern Cal was unable to work up a scoring threat even with desperation passes.

Cander almost broke away for another ND touchdown in the closing minutes, racing 53 yards to the Trojan 5, but toy to its 34-6 triumph, saw crete evidence that Mylin had approximately one football player a guy named Bill Ranieri. Were it not for Ranieri's professional punting, and the leniency of Ram coach Ed Danowski, the victory margin might well have been doubled. Danowski's contribution was the strapping of Dick Doheny to the bench for most of the sec-end half. The Ram quarterback, however, earned the Madow Trophy which goes annually to the outstanding was the individual stickout and performer of this game. He received nine of the 11 votes cast in the pressbox teammate Stan Bloomer Earning one ballot and Ranieri the other.

FIRST PERIOD 1 Doheny completed his first eight passes through NYU's non-existent defenses, and the Ram swooshed to a 20-0 bulge. A holding penalty pushed Fordham back to its 12 at the start, but with Bloomer booming up the middle, and Doheny flipping to Maloney and Bloomer, the hall was soon on Fordham's 46. Here, Dick heaved wide to Pfeifer and Al flew the rest of the way. Kozdeba converted. NYU was so helpless on attack that Fordham declined a 15-yard penalty in its anxiety to regain the ball.

That developed when Ran-er punted to the Ram 28. Doheny pitched to Maloney and Underwood to the Violet 18. Dick shot his fourth completion of the drive to Pfeifer. who hugged it on the 2 and stepped over. "Kozdeba converted.

NYU's first pass completion came late in the period for a loss of three yards. The ensuing punt gave Fordham the ball on the NYU 41, and after his first miss of the day, Doheny pitched to Higgins, who zipped around right end for the 41 yard TD. Kozdeba's placement flew wide. Score: Fordham 20, NYU 0. SECOND PERIOD Ranieri's 37-yard runback of a lickoff, plus Eisenman's screen toss to Payne for 23 yards, produced the first NYU bid on Ford-ham's 37.

But the drive fizzled, and Ranieri booted out on the Ram 10. Charging hard, the Violets pushed Fordham back to its 1, and then regained possession on the 35 via a punt. Having moved no farther than the 33 on three tries, NYU had Ranieri fake a fourth-down punt and flip to Fogarty instead. Jack grabbed the surprise parcel on the 25 and churned to the 11. Again three downs picked up only three yards, so Eisenman found Fogarty with a pass just inches short of the goal, and Novotney bulled over for the Violet TD.

Tracey's placement was blocked and Fordham led, 20-6. The ensuing Ram drive was topped on the Violet 1 when Rams-Violets FORDHAM IjK Pfeifpr. Campbell. Kenaldo LrT Wesumbergrer. Kull.

Doheny overshot a fourth-down shot to Pfeifer, but the Ram renewed the attack a moment later. With Higgins and Bloomer battering the line, the ball moved to the one-foot line.

Higgins then hurtled through right tackle and Kozdeba converted. Score: Fordham 27; NYU 6. THIRD PERIOD NYU, opening a sequence from its 14, punted from its 5. Fordham, starting from its 45 after Ranieri's fine boot, banged to the Violet 2 on Doheny's short flips and the battering of Higgins and Underwood. There, on third down, Higgins fumbled to the end sone and Starke recovered for NYU for a touchback that gave the Violets possession on their 20.

For most of the period, Doheny remained on the bench, giving Bill White a chance. The sub quarterback passed poorly, and when he completed a short one, Wolfe fumbled it. NYU's Giro-lamo recovered on the Violet 44, but Bonanno promptly bobbled the ball right back to Ram Dirico on the NYU 35. With Doheny back pitching in the late moments, Fordham moved to the 13 only to have Fogarty intercept in the end zone. Score: Fordham 27, NYU 6.

FOURTH PERIOD Bloomer was given a brief crack at quarterback and ran the Rams to a TD within three plays. With the ball on NYU's 47, Stan pitched a wobbly loaf of bread to Viraeola, who caressed it on the 30 and buzzed over. Kozdeba converted to make it S4-6. Danowski had a bunch of guys named Joe doing most of Ford-ham's work for the remainder of the game. Final; Fordham 34, NYU We note Kid Gavilan beat Laurent Dauthuille in Montreal and thus proved his supremacy over the welterweights with the exception, of course, of Ray Robinson.

When, and if, Robinson deserts the welters to campaign among the middleweights, Gavilan should step in as champion. Robinson, in our book, is the greatest boxer of this generation. Charley Fusari is a capable boxer and a good right hand socker but Charley has a tendency to be shaken too easily by a hard blow. Gavilan should prove too fast and clever for the Jersey lad. None of the other boys threaten Fusari and Gavilan at this time.

Docusen is a fine boxer, perhaps the best of the challengers, but he is too much of a feather duster. Frankie Fernandez from Honolulu is a terrific puncher but can be hit too frequently. Beau Jack is through, ike Williams, the lightweight king, has twice been beaten by Gavilan. Wrho else is there? Certainly Graham, Pellone, Young, DeMarco and tha rest are nowhere near Fusari or Gavilan. It all adds up in the Powerhouse swami's crystal ball, with Robinson going into the midJle-weights and Gavilan beating Fusari for the welterweight title.

Don't Fight, Joe! Odds Against Comcbaek If Joe Louis is planning a comeback we think he is making a mistake many great fighters made in the past. Jefferies, Langford, Ritchie, Johnny Dundee, Leonard, Walker and countless others tried to fight years after they should have retired and stayed retired. No one seems able to explain to these heroes that once the sparlc of youth goes out, no amount of training will ever bring it back. We were talking to Mickey Walker about this the other day. Mickey, incidentally, is coming along fine with his art work, although, when we inspected his masterpieces, we conceded we had to bone up for them.

Some were away over our noodle. But getting back to Joe, Mickey said: "Someone should explain to the guy that once youth makes its exit, it leaves you forever." Reminded us of the "Babes in Toyland" lyrics "Once you pass its border, you may ne'er return again." Louis' best days are behind him. Joe should be satisfied with his splendid record and retire with distinction and honor before some bum comes along and knocks him stiff. AS He C-1. n't -T eOKFP OF "WIS GEMER4.T.CKJ.
