COMPANION EE ATI IRK
U. S. navy likes to keep every
thing "above board" except Jap
anese craft. Hence its forthright
campaign to convince the Amer
ican public the Annapolis naval
academy footbal ltcam this fall
will not be composed of super
men and probably will not win
the mythical national champion
ship. This sales campaign certainly
is thc most concentrated and, b
the same time, the most unusual
in the 100-year history of the
Annapolis academy. One might
get the impression the academy
representatives are trying to sell
the public a bill of mediocrity;
but such is not the case. They
are merely going all out to em
phasize the 1!M5 navy team may
not be a "ehampeen." although
it will win its fair share of games.
Lost Three
Navy learned to its sorrow last
year that there's a big difference
between a "good" football team
and a "championship! 'outfit.
Long before the 1044 season open
ed, the football experts were
awarding navy the national title
because of the middies' apparent
ly incomparable manpower. Un
fortunately many members of the
team believed the press clippings
and shared the unbounded con-
rideneeuf the public. So they"
went out and lost their first
game to North Carolina Pro
flight. They also lost to Georgia
Tech. And army particularly
army.
As a result, there was much
moaning at the bar wherever
navy men gathered throughout
the world.
Accordingly, we find at this
early date as far as football is
concerned navy is sending ils
emissaries to Manhattan to preach
the gospel of possible defeat. And
ils best grid authorities are sent
to tell the story. We mean Cmdr.
Oscar (Swede) Hagbcrg, head
coach; Cmdr. "Hip" Miller, line
coach; and Lt. Bill Sullivan, pub
lic relations officer.
According to the.-e three, there
are several reasons why navy this
fall will have the nation's big
gest question-murk team.
As Coach Ilagberg stresses, a
navy, for the first lime in history,
has shifted from the traditional
single wing to the "T" formation.
And it may lake the institution
some time to accustom itself to
the "T," recalling that both army
and Notre Dame had difficulties
in their first season's with the
"T."
Also Hagbcrg and his assistants
believe that the current crop of
navy hacks with their accent on
speed and lack of blocking abil
ity were designed more for the
fast, balanced "T" plays than for
the slower power plays of the
single wing. Their backs have
plenty of speed Capt. Dick dud

NEW YORK, July 20 (UP)
The fans have the final say-so,
ef course, but as far as the play
ers were concerned there was a
preliminary indictment against
night baseball today, at least in
Washington and St. Louis.
While easting about for explan
ations on the flop of thc Senators
at home after burning up the
road on their western road trip,
it would be less than logical to
overlook that in general they
switched from afternoon to noc
1 1 1 j nal play.
Lost Six
On the road they won 13 out of
1!) games and played only five of
them at night. Back home which
should be thc fortress of the pen
nant contender, they were able
to win only six out of 13 games,
i nd played all but three at night.
Moreover, they won two of the
three day games and lost all but
four of the 10 night tilts.
Al the same lime in St. Louis,
the not so robust Red Birds were
supposed to be making their "an
nual" pennant bid. On a strict
diet of night games except for
Sundays, they managed to win
only eight and lost seven. Il also
is worth pointing out in their two
Sunday doubteheaders, they lust
I both games. That isn't paradnx-
ical, it just gets to be a little
I strange for a player to emerge
into the heat and sunshine after

Nelson to Face
Toughest Stars
In Triple Meet
Include Snead,
Hyrd, Demaret,
Revolta
By WALTER BYERS
CHICAGD, July 26 (UP By
ron Nelson, facing the toughest
field he has met in three years,
sits out to prove he is golf's
"greatest player" today when he
tees off in the rich all-American
open, the feature attraction -of
George S. May's triple header
gulfing classic.
Nelson, although he must meet
a field of prewar quality, is the
defending champion in the men's
open, which he has won three
times. A great competitor, a pre
cision shot maker and currently
the hottest golfer in America,
Kelson shoots his greatest game
when the stakes are high and
this one pays a record of $13,000
in war bonds to the winner.
The tall, ruddy-faced Texan
with the nerves of ice has won
eight straight individual tourna
ments, climaxing his record
streak two weeks ago by taking
the coveted P. G. A. title. It was
then that he was acciaimed the
greatest of all time, but now he
must prove it against two men
who were not in the PGA Lt.
Hen Hogan, thc little Texas
sharpshooter, and Slammin' Sam
my Snead, power swinging West
Virginian.
This is really a "comeback"
tournament for Nelson. He is re
turning to the fairways after a
week of resting an injured back.
Sneud has been on the sidelines
foi a month, ever since fractur
ing a wrist bone. And Hogan is
playing his first major tourna
ment of the season.
Counting Snead and Hogan,
Nelson faces a field of 139, in
cluding the greatest collection of
golf stars since 1!M2. Shooting
against him will be Jimmy De
maret, Sgl. Ernest J. (Dutch)
Harrison, Harold (Jug) McSpad
cn, the game's No. 2 money win
ner behind Nelson; Sammy Byrd,
PGA runner-up; Johnny Revolta
in short all of golf's great mod
erns with thc exception of one or
two, such as Lawson Little.
More Attendance At

CHICAGO, July 26 (UP!
American League President Will
Harridge said today 370,705 more
fans paid admission to games this
year through July 22 than was
recorded by league attendance
figures for a corresponding num
ber ol games last ::son.
Harridge said the increase pre
vailed despite unusually adverse
weather conditions which gener
ally held down home attendance,
particularly in New York, Chi

a solid week of playing after
dark.
Far Behind
Moreover, the Cardinals also
fared well on their last eastern
trip when they won 16 games
and lost only nine, playing a fair
ly steady ration of afternoon
games. That moved them to a
contending spot in the race, just
a game and a half out of the lead,
but during their home stay they
weren't able to do anything but
go backwards, and they now arc
fuur and half games off the pace.
The evidence isn't conclusive.
There is much to indicate the
standard of night games is as
high as the daytime variety, but
teams subjected to an every
night ration of it are likely to
get tired of the "upside down"
living it requires. That it event
ually reflects in their play is
definitely indicated. I
