With Druggists This at least is the conclusion drawn from the fifth annual Associated Press poll of sports experts Who gave this particular oddity Wide preference over all other unusual developments of 1935 The incident had an appropriate Setting Playing in a raging snowstorm Dartmouth was being pushed all over the soggy gridiron by the ferocious attack of the Tigers Backed up against their own goal line late in the game the Indians needed help As Princeton called signals on third down with scarcely a yard to go for a touchdown a spectator leaped from the stands raced across the end zone and took a place in the Dartmouth line before officials could stop him or the play The Tigers somewhat startled executed their line smash uncertainly and failed to score The "twelfth was summarily removed and Princeton then scored Imposter Claimed Honors A dispute over the identity of the spectator enlivened the after-math A Rahway lunch wagon employe claimed the distinction but broke down on the way to the Yale-Princeton game as a guest of the Yales and admitted he was not the right man Here is another version of the extra man situation: During the ehanna-Pennsylvania Military College football game quarterback noticed his side had twelve men on the field He ran a play to the sidelines Romas Win Feature Game As Visintainer And Gassoway Star In the feature game at Moreing Field Leo Visintainer who went In to relieve Fred Hart in the first inning pitched five-hit ball and emerged a winner by the score of 6 to 2 Kettle Wirts' Vintners salted the game In the third inning when Dolph

Double Eagle oddest most spectacular contribution to the 1935 novelties was Gene "double eagle" in the Augusta invitation tournament Sarazen needing birdies on three of the last four holes to tie Craig Wcod got their equivalent with one shot when he holed out a 220-yard spoon wallop for a deuce on the par five fifteen hole Par on the last three holes enabled Sarazen to clinch the deadlock He beat Wood in the playoff the next day Pitching for both sides at intervals in an exhibition ball game Dizzy Dean contributed to one of oddest by getting credit for victory as well as being charged with defeat A Rare One Another baseball happening was described as follows by the sports editor of the Albuquerque Journal: a Sunday game between two small town teams inSouthern New Mexico the bases were full The batter rolled to the pitcher who fielded the ball and tossed to the plate for a forced out The batter stepped into the batter's box and hammered the throw over the fence "Five runs crossed the plate Officials went into a huddle emerging some minutes later with this decision: Runner from third out batter (the home run hitter) out Result: A near riot in the stands" Tabulation Of
