Still, one may ask "How good is Alabama?" Hear delphia last Saturday, down thundered the curtain on the greatest gridiron show ever put on in the East during the annual brief college season.

Favorites were stepchildren the first Saturday in September and on the first Saturday in December, still were the mighty falling. Today we pick up the pieces. Navy's triumphant restoration of 1 "I 1 mime lnviieu To See Squash Cup Matches Won't Cost a Cent to iew Tricity Scries at the University Club Squash racquets, which has such regal devotees as the Prince of Wales and the King of Siam, has gone democratic in a big way. For the first time within the memory of the oldest galleryite the public has been invited to look at an amateur squash match. Heretofore only the pros in run ning th ir open tournaments solicited the patronage of the public, but Saturday and Sunday all those who care to may look at the Tri city Lockett Cup matches to be played at the University Club.

And mind you, no admission will be charged and those sharp-eyed butlers who guard the door of the 5th Ave. club will direct you to the elevators. The reason for this departure from the old custom of permitting only members and friends to see the matches is the new magnificent squash racquets layout at the University Club. Two new courts have been constructed and the gallery seats 350, which is a bie crowd at a squash match. Most galleries hold about a hundred and unless you were lucky you didn't have a chance to see the matches.

Cup Matches The Lockett Cud matches, which bring gether the best players from New York, Philadelphia and Boston, the three great centers of the game' promise to be keenly fought with New York and Philadelphia meeting in the most important series for the trophy. Boston and Philadelphia play on Saturdav while on Sunday New York will take on both. The Gold Racquet tournament matches at the Rockaway Hunting Club over the weekend gave some idea as to what may be expected in the Lockett Cup play. Neil Sullivan, by defeating E. Rotan (Tan-ny) Sargent of Harvard University in the final round, agaii.

demonstrated that he is the best player in the game. Sullivan will lead the defending team from Philadelphia and can be counted upon to win all the matches that he plays. Lacked Experience Sullivan, who Is national cham pion, looked like his old self yesterday. He lacked none of his usual finesse and he covered the court as good as he ever has. But he needed all his stuff to beat Sargent, a big, tall youngster, who incidentally, hails from Philadelphia.

Sargent found that he was able to match shots and wallops with Sul- uvan, Dut lack of experience defeated the Crimson captain.

(Ducky) Pond, the entire football coaching staff which piloted Yale to the "Big Three" championship was reappointed today. The athletic association did not disclose the terms or length of the new contracts, its announcement containing just tne bare statement that Head Coach Pond and his associates had been retained for the 1935 season.

It was generally assumed, however, that the reappointments were for one year. The retention of young Pond, former Ell football and baseball star, and his associates on the varsity staff was due to the successful 1934 season which brought, to the Elis victories over their traditional rivals, Princeton and Harvard, in addition to Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Brown. iSlaff Personnel Besides Pond, the varsity staff consists of Earle (Greasy) Neale, Continued on Page 11 the coach, put in a kick then Instead of just a month or so ago.

To Name Sugar Bowl Opponents Today New Orleans, Dec. 3 W) This city today waited impatiently for news of the foes it would see clash in iU inaugural Sugar Bowl game on New Year's Day.

There was scarcely an inkling as to which teams would be the opponents. It seemed as if Tulane, Rice and Louisiana State had the Inside track as the Southern team or "host" team to be selected. And Pittsburgh, Colgate, Syracuse, Columbia and Temple were the mosl prominently rumored "visiting" legions. Untied, Unbeaten Records for Nine Nine teams in the nation still remained unbeaten and untied following Thursday's and Saturday's gridiron games, with Alabama, the Rose Bowl designee, heading the pack. Minnesota still stands out in the Mid-West, Stanford looms as the leader among those elevens that have unbeaten slates, but have been tied once.

The Alabama contingent has the most Impressive scoring record with 287 points for, and 32 against. Augustana, Birmingham-Southern, Kirksville Teachers. East Texas Teachers, Tufts, Trinity and Upper Iowa also boast of unbeaten, untied records. the kick to the game, Just at a mo- ment when the old-timers were be wailing the decline 0. punt and field goal, warmed the hearts of the sen timentalists.

Gray-head admirals and four-stripers exulted in the manner of Navy's first triumph over Army since 1921. Because the field was a horrible morass, a kicking duel was indicated; but the 80,000 who looked on, chilled and sodden, knew that the Midshipmen had merely adapted their attack to conditions as they found them. Buzz Borrles, except for one speedy dash around end for 22 yards on the first running play of the game, was unable to go; but he showed enough as he slithered and staggered through Penn's Dismal Swamp, to keep Army on the anxious seat. Navy would have had plenty more than a punt to show on a dry field. Mud was not the great leveller In this year's service game.

If it tied up Jack Buckler of Army and Maurice Simons, his substitute, it served no. less as a sea-anchor to the twinkling feet of the grimy Borries. Robbed of their running and passing attacks, the two teams kicked it out and in that department of the game, West Point had no- match for the accomplished right hoof of Midshipmite Bill Clark. DOWNFALL OF MICKAL, AN IDOL Louisiana State, losing by one point to Tulane, saw the downfall of its idol, Abe Mickal. The young Baton Rouge Tiger who had the daring to refuse a State Senatorial toga from the hand of the hero-worshipping and noisily adoring Huey Long, was carried off the field on his shield, so to speak; being carried away on a amounted to the same thing.

Tulane at the moment was on L. S. five-yard line. Abe's departure was a signal for Monk Simons, stalwart of the Green Wave apostates who came to cheer and remained to boo Huey, to swarm over to win the glory a whole country was wishing him, despite its unbounded admiration for Biff Jones, State's coaclr. (It's not that we love you less.

Biff, but that we refuse to like Huey any more.) Detroit's surprise triumph over Washington State in a quarter-gale and a snowstorm further offended the feelings of the soothsayers, though they, to tell the truth, can't have many feelings left. Elsewhere prophecies were fulfilled, though some of them in a very halting manner. Georgia squeaked by a Georgia Tech eleven which became fired by the inspiration of whole squadrons and battalions of gray ghosts attendant upon their elderly series. Southern Methodist met Darrell Lester, All-America center, ard his Texas Christian mates, unperturbed in the face of such awesome distinction, and won handsomely. Duke annihilated North Carolina State; Rice, the one-time dreaded Baylor.

Holy Cross faltered and stumbled against the pale furies of the Boston College opposition b'jt squeezed by; Washington filled Southern California's cup of woe to spilling over and Western Maryland stopped the up and coming Georgetown. ANALYSIS OF ARMY-NAVY GAME Technical analysis of Navy-Army tactics practically begins and ends with Bill Clark's punts. Navy used the whipping wind sagaciously and for all it was worth. Annapolis did try to get Its running attack organized on a shift that switched from single wing to box or vice versa and on the shift one noted the backs still swung arms a- la Notre Dame in an at tempt to catch the rhythm. At times, It tried a short punt formation, but this, too, gave the critics little to pick to pieces.

Bill Ritter was taking a bike rider's holiday, lolling in a trackside box when the old "Iron Man" reported ill. Something after the fashion of Sheridan in that famous 20-mile sprint. Ritter leaped out of his seat, hopped into McNamara's duds, mounted one of the old-timer's bikes and was off as the partner of Dave Lands. Ritter didn't stay long. Less than an hour after the race began Walter Lohmann, a new German rider, tried to slip past a couple of fallen athletes all scrambled up with their twisted bikes at one end of the saucer and failed.

So, if the following appears a bit disjointed, dear reader, try to be patient. The affair itself is disjointed, If not mentally unbalanced. You see, the racers have not yet warmed up to their work, having only been riding since 9 o'clock last night, when Mr. Jack Dempsey aimed a pistol at the gallery and pulled the trigger. Just previously a ralr news story had broken in regard to the race.

Reggie McNamara was missing, reported ill by telephone, and the grind started -vithout This was news with a capital since McNamara hadn't muffed a New York race since he placed third with Walter Root back in 1913. The "Iron Horse," as the bugs called him, has been way up in those years for quite some time. Less than a month ago he passed his 50th birthday. Naturally, one so full of years was not expected to win this race McNamara finished the last December race no less than 18 laps abaft the winning team-but the granite-faced old-timer had been around so long that he just naturally rated No. 1 In the program.

To old-time clients of the goofy grind the race won't seem quite right without McNamara, and he may never ride in another six-day race. But to the rank and file lt probably doesn't make a great deal of difference. As long as a raft of riders in gaily-colored Jerseys sizzle around the raucer in a furious early evening jam, the crowd doesn't appear to know or care who is riding.

Not that you'd notice. The Garden was packed for the opening show.

So far as the 80,000 were concerned, it was in both cases the Unknown Soldier. In that mud numbers meant nothing and the only difference between one player and another was height. As the Little Beautician put it on the way home, "Mud packs completely al tered the complexion of the game." One play and the player was dark gray-brown from head to foot. Lt.

M. Pat Echols kindly verified the principals of the incident by getting in touch with the West Point dressing room. Who was the couch of one of the season's mighty who went up to a certain official whom he hadn't seen for four years and said belligerently and significantly: "Mr. So-and-So, I certainly didn't I your officiating the last time I saw you." Mr. So-and-Ko said mildly that he had been In the dressing room an hour after that last game and why didn't Mr.

Frank, who halls from the Albany Ave. section of Brooklyn, has been nicknamed "Ram" for two reasons. The first concerns a wild, stubborn, pedigreed ram owned by the Farm ingdale school. The ram was boisterous and riugh with the football players until the day Frank fed Sir Ram on cigarettes and Sir Ram now certainly does like his tobacco. Because he bucks and bowls over opposing linemen and backs In gridiron games, Frank has been allowed to keep his name of "Ram." His bulking activities come from the three quarts of milk he consumes dally.

It naturally follows, then, that Farmingdal must have wild cows, else why all the bucking? The Brooklyn gridiron flash played football and baseball at Alexander Hamilton High and later switched to Brooklyn Evening High. Since he has been attending the Farmingdale school he has played.
