Oregon State, fought its way into the Rose Bowl, and the Aggies, chiefly through unexpected development of 3erace Moser as the conference's jest forward passer, became the irst successful defending champions Southwest history and earned i Cotton Bowl berth.

4 (AP)--There are stiif a few more games on the 1941 football slate, but individual football laurels have already been nailed down for the season. The American Football Statistical bureau, which chronicled the forward advance of 204 teams and 5,000 players this fall, tips its well-worn yardstick in the direction of these leaders: WILSON "BUD" SCHWENK. OF WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS Schwenk set a new total offense yardage mark of 1,928 yards in nine games; he set a new forward pass completion figure of 114, or 21 more than the old standard fixed by Davie O'Brien in 1937, and he set a season "workhorse" record by figuring in 354 plays. FRANKIE SINKWICH, THE BOY WITH THE BROKEN JAW FROM GEORGIA Sinkwich, although records on his third in total offense with 1,556 last game against Georgia Tech are still unreported, led the nation as a rusher with 1,038 yards, and finished yards, a figure which undoubtedly will be expanded with addition on his last Saturday's exploits.

4 (AP)-Elmer Riddle jumped the holdout season today and was reported putting the bee on the Cincinnati Reds for a flat doubling of his 1941 pay check. Riddle, who came to Cincinnati from Birmingham in 1939, was the pitching sensation of the National league last season when he won 19 games and lost 4, establishing an earned-run average of about 2.20. Riddle's 1941 salary was not disclosed, bat baseball men estimated that we are going 3,000 to 4,000 legal to distribute trout--six to 18 inches--this year.

The state department of Forests and Waters, meanwhile, reported streams approximately 50 per cent over the minimum flow of the year which was recorded between September 23 and October 5.

As finally announced, the trade called for the Giants to give not only a right handed hurler but a sum of cash for the big blond outfielder The money involved was generally estimated at S10.000, but this was in doubt because the Cubs went into the conference reportedly seeking something like four times that amount.

RED FACES ROTJXDUP Officials of the Middle Atlantic league once devoted a session to wrangling about whether they should adopt the American or National league ball. One argued the American league ball was too lively, another that the National league pellet would "take a deeper curve" and curb hitting. Finally they called in a representative of the manufacturer, who told him the two balls were made on exactly the same machines and merely stamped with different names.

It took the moguls a couple of years to get over that, but now they merely specify a "major league" ball. SOUTHERN HOSPITALTTY A big moment in North Carolina football turned tip last month when Guilford college, trailing Elon 59-0, was about to score against the Elon subs At the crucial moment, the Guilford captain took time out and walked over to the Elon coach. Guilford was about to score its first Sun Bowl host, will be polled Saturday night on the conference choice. Arizona university, undefeated in conference play, and the powerful Texas Tech Red Raiders appeared the likely choices for the Bowl spot. In addition to Duquesne, strong support has been accorded Virginia, Xavier of Cincinnati, Marshall col- ege of Huntington, West Virginia, South Carolina, Yotmgstown college, Western Michigan, Eastern Kentucky--and several others.

Final statistical compilations show Arizona ranked second only to the Duke Blue Devils in total offensive average of 3602 yards, and the forward passing team with 173.3 yard average. Texas Tech as well as being a flashy offensive team, Is second in the nation in total defense. touchdown in two years, he explained, and wouldn't the coach put in his regulars so the boys would get more satisfaction from it?
