Sport Sparks Bv RON GEMMELL 0 Whoever struck that first note, Ira D. Dingwoodie or Ros coe J. Rumplefeather, it's too bad he couldn't have lived long enough to strike a note in this dizziest of all football seasons, with a special, deluxe sort of note for Saturday's epic at Eu gene. . . . Inasmuch as these lads lived back when caves were caves and women were glad of them, it of course would have taken some living to have been tootling away today. Anyway. It Is probable no one today would recomize the type of note that Dinrwoodle or Rumplefeather authored as a true note. ... It Isn't likely that even our most versatile taxaphonlsts could nudre out a note which would sound exactly like that first one, which either lMnfwoodie or Rumplefeather stumbled upon when one or the other was pickinf his teeth with a falcon's claw. wn tiithir IMnewoodie nor D.imnlifoathor is about.

YORK, Nov. 27- Those funny fistic frolics, better known as the muddleweight, mess, go from the ridiculous to the sub lime at last Friday night when Sailor Georgie Abrams andSteel- worker Tony Zale decide who's going to be the 160-pound boss. When they finish their 15-round roughhouse in Madison Square Garden, the middleweight division will have an undisputed ruler for the first time since Mickey Walker was the No. 1 boy back there. 11 years or so ago. Since then there have been as many kinds of 160-pound rulers as garden varieties of to matoesand some of them fought about as good. - The- division has been kicked around between the National Box ing Association and the New York State Athletic Commission, with the international boxing union tossing in an occasional boot from overseas. At times, when Marcel Thil's bald pate was in the picture, there were as many as three "world champions" hanging around at one time. Every set of fistic fathers took particular delight! in keeping the faithful on the mer ry-go-rouna Dy naming its own titleholder. But when Billy Soose abdicated the New York state version of the title a few weeks ago, NBA Prexy Abe Greene, the New York commission, and Promoter Mike Jacobs agreed on Friday night's brawl to get the silly set-up straightened out. At the moment, the NBA rec ognizes Zale as boss, by direct descent from AI Hostak, Freddy Steele, Babe Risko, Teddy Tar osz and Yince Dundee. For a while, Steele held both New York and NBA blessings, but when he refused to take on Fred Apostoli at the weight about three years ago, the local moguls brushed him off. Crain Is Big Crasher In Downfall of A & M By HAROLD V. RATLIFF COLLEGE STATION, Tex., Nov. 27.--Cold, brutal Texas blasted Texas A and M off football's glory road Thursday in a bewildering reversal of form and a startling repetition of South west conference history. . , The hitherto undefeated, untied Aggies fell, 23-0, before the Longhorns as stumpy Jack Crain sang his swan song in confer nlav with a rhvthm of swishing feet.

There are no repeaters from the 1940 mythical aggregation, al though Debs McLaughlin, pass pitching Leslie halfback, moved up from honorable mention of a year ago. The team was voted into being by Coaches Tommy Drynan of Parrish, Loren Mort of Leslie, Bob of .the Greens and Joe I Holland of the Reds. Huskies Stage Brisk Drill The latest wagering quotations put Abrams on top at 5 to 7, and the 49th street gambling guys re port Brisker betting than for any fight this year. The edge for the sailor boy from Washington lies largely in the fact that he out galloped Soose three times, while Soose topped Tony in an over weight meeting. This corner strings along with Abrams to outspeed the rough. and had 19 straight victories be hind it Crain stepped in as field general for Texas that day and sent the twice-beaten Longhorns to a 7-0 decision that ranks as one of the great upsets of college foot ball history. A and M entered the tradi tional game with eight straight wins, holding the Southwest conference championship and boasting one of the finest rec ords in the nation, 28 victories in 29 games. Once-beaten, once-tied Texas, which tumbled out of the nation's No. 1 ranking 12 days ago when deadlocked by lowly Baylor, came back to reach the heights of play that had branded the Longhorns the greatest team in Southwest conference history. Behind the great Crain, the Orange Wave engulfed the Aggies in one of the most crushing de feats in the 48-year old series And in so doing Texas won its second game in history at Col lege Station. A crowd of 40,000 largest ever to see a game here jammed the stands. The Aggies never seriously threatened the Texas goal and advanced but once to scoring territory. That drive was stop ped on the Longhorn 30. Crain kicked a field goal to break the ice in the second pe riod. It came dramatically with only 55 seconds before the end of the half. Pudgy Jack stepped back on the 16 and plunked the ball through the goal posts from an angle. In less than six minutes Texas had 13 more points. With the third period only two minutes old Crain whipped around right end and sauntered across unhindered for a touchdown. He missed the try for point. Pete Layden, Crain's great running mate, brought the next score. It was a long, high pass to big Malcolm Kutner that gained exactly 52 yards. Mar shall Spivey, Aggie back, dived at Kutner on the fve-yard line but missed. Sanders converted. Texas got its final touchdown on the third play- of the fourth quarter yith Spec Sanders, Lay den's substitute, cantering around left end from the Aggie four. San Preppers Hope To Clear Grid Titles Tonight By GORDON G. MacNAB Associated Press Staff Writer Oregon high school football ti tle claims will be cleared Friday night or be muddled beyond hope of a clean-cut verdict. The Dalles, undefeated in a high-scoring season, hopes to strengthen its hold on the "A" class title as it meets Medford at The Dalles in a night game. If the Indians win, they will have a claim but it will be contested by Myrtle Point, also undefeated, which has ended its season and has no plans for a play-off. But if the Black Tornado wins, Myrtle Point will be alone among the major undefeated, untied Oregon schools. A definite decision in the "B" class is more likely, with Amity and Newport contesting at Mc Minnville in an afternoon game. Only a tie can cloud the issue. Both undefeated, they both trimmed Arlington, a strong contender until last week. Am ity e d g e d by 13 to 12 while while Newport threw a 39-13 decision at the easterners. The Blue Mountain 1 e a g u e's champions, Mac hi of Milton Freewater, play a night game at Albany that has strong local in terest but no title significance. And in another night game, Leb anon goes to Corvallis to take up their annual fight LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27-(P)- The University of Washington football squad demonstrated it didn't come to Los Aneeles from bringing a fighter into New York unless ne s not. you aon t have tough steel-hand from Gary, Ind (by way of Chicago), and finish ders again added the point on top over sthe 15-round route despite the fact the managerial firm of Sam Pian and Art winch Whitman Names Finkas is noted for a reputation of never far-away Seattle merely for the ride Thursday. The Huskies put on a long workout, including scrimmage, in Memorial coliseum this af ternoon and appeared in fight ing trim for their final confer ence game with Southern Cali fornia Saturday. Sophomore Halfback Bob Bar rett favored a foot injury in the practice, but promised to be ready for play by game time. Dummy drills featured the Tro jan workout, and they figure to be in good condition for the fray. Center Max Green and Halfback Bill Bundy continued to take light exercises, however. to think back any farther than to Barney Ross for that one. Promoter Jacobs expects some 14,000 customers to kick In to s pot of slightly over $30,000 to watch the bout WALLA WAT J. A, Nov. 21-JP) -Ralph Finkas, junior guard from Castle Rock, Wash., Friday was named captain of the Whitman college football team for 1942. He succeeds Seniors Jonie Lewis and Norm Transeth, who served as co-captains this season. Soldiers Find They Sought Game With Gals CAMP LEE, Va, Nov. 27-(jp) -Corporal Sal C.

Races Are Hot For AMoast Positions, too By RUSS NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.- -How are your all-coast football selections coming? The individual race, like the coast conference scramble, Is tighter this year than last Every position has several standouts. There won't be o many nmoways in the balloting. Some hold to the opinloa that Washington State's giant ends. Susoeff and Gentry, .are in a class by themselves but Stan ford's Meyer and Santa Clara's Seals will find plenty of sup port The tackle jobs have such stel lar candidates as Conley of Wash ington, Banducd and Stamm of Stanford and California's all-Am erica of last year, Bob Reinhard. Frankowski of Washington and Taylor of Stanford loom high for guard berths with strong contend ers in Thornton of Santa Clara, Segale of Oregon, Halvorsen of Oregon State and D o e p k e of Washington State. The battle for center brings together Greenough of Oregon State. Harrison of Washington, Lindskog of Stanford. Reming ton of Washington State and Sbeafe of St Mary's. The hottest fight, as usual, will be for backfield positions. All- America Albert of Stanford may not have the breeze-in he enjoyed last year but there seems little doubt he will make the all-coast first eleven for the second season. Also confronting the pickers are such good ones as Robertson of Southern California, Kmetovic of Stanford, Sewell of Washington State, Mecham and Roblin of Ore gon, Casanega of Santa Clara, Harshman and Tommervik of Pa cific Lutheran, Durdan of Oregon State, Naranche of Montana, Stackpool and Steele of Washing ton, Micklich of Idaho and Phil lips of UCLA. The early season Injury of California's Jurkovich probably cost the Bears a sure shot back field representative on the my thical No. 1 eleven. There is only one certainty about the all coast team that is finally selected as the Associated Press' 17th annual super touch down troupe. It will be invinci ble because it never plays a game. Jefferson Ends Grid Season JEFFERSON Coach Pat Beal's Jefferson high football team, which ended its season with a 52 21 drubbing of Rickreall, rolled up 202 points to 83 scored upon it in winning five of six games played in its first season of six man play. Five players, Frank Gilmour, Clifford Bowen, Don Gilmour, Ro bert Sherwood and Jack Costelow, will be lost through graduation. By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Nov. 27-(Special to The Statesman)-We have just previewed ttie new National lea gue baseball movie with its re turn -of-the-sailor title, "Safe at Home," and except for a lack of love interest the film seems to have everything, including a vil lain, capably played by Joe Gor don in the world series sequences. The picture was written, di rected, produced and worried over by personable Ethan Allen, and with the ex ception of one brief scene ruin ed by a dumb hooligan with . a pip-squeak voice and a mouthful of mush, is with out a technical Caw. Mr.. Allen su pervised all the scenes, and v in the shot In ques tion put. the words right Into Wuttney Marti the actors' mouths. II he also could have ta ken them out it would have help ed considerably. 7 i-'-v;;;; X-'fiX- . The half-baked ham In Ques tion was dixecledLte vask Casey Stengel a couple of simple questions; to I wit: ?How It ; It yon are so successful against the Cardinals?" and "How do you eope with the speed of such men a U r e, and Padgett, and Brown, and Hoppf The scene was rehearsed until it was lette perfect, and Mr.. Al len ordered the spotlights- turned on and the camera to start grind ing. Everything was going along swimmingly. Mr. Stengel con ducted himself like he always had camera eyes, not meaning filmy, and the other actors were in Shakespearean form. At the rehearsed moment the big loogan with the soprano voice chimed in earnestly: f u "How come, Casey, you have such good Cardinals against the luck? And how d you speed with such , eope men as- er, ah Mlxe and Warneke?"" Mr. Allen was very patient Af ter three or four more takes he announced hopefully that maybe one of them might do if the voice could be dubbed in properly with the best visual effect It evident ly couldn't It was his own fault however. We told him beforehand, any Te- semblance between us and an ac tor was strictly a coincidence, and we had been allergic to cameras Since the day a fellow stuck a ramrod up our back and then ran and hid behind a black hood and squeezed the bulb of an auto horn which never let out a peep. . Anyway," forgetting the techni cal difficulties of Mr. Allen, he has turned in his usual workman like Job In turning out a film Incorporating drama (the world series); humor (happy daze at Ebbets field) and instruction (by ine xeuows you read about). It is quite comprehensive. Even the umpires are included. Mr. Allen takes us around the diamond position by position and discloses little secrets of In side baseball which usually es cape the average spectator. The cast .for these action shots Includes more than 40 -players. ranging from established stars to rookies. Even Lou Novikoff, the joaa jtussian who finished, the season . In .the American associa tion, has a touching role, if the wneezy- strains of a harmonica seeping through beefy paws could oe called touching. The "one ; thing missing which might - have i beeh includM ; t Mickeybwens missed third strike in the world series. Not that the National league want to publicize mat incident, but its very omis sion calls attention to it and the xirst reaction is: "Huh, you can bet they wouldn't put that" in ira like, getting tiseC-io a man wearing a flashy overcoat When he isn't wearing It you i immedi ately think about It. . -One of the innovations is split screen action, where two players simultaneously are shown demon strating: their ownstyle of pat ting ot 'pitching and affording a cnance to 'compare technique, v : And as for the umpires Boooooo. .
