next semester, and being men

berth on Ruby Brown's nine are
Hal Sueme, Dick Gyselman, Jim
Briilheart, Jim Tyack and (sur
prise, surprise) Ted Gullic. . . .
Then on the other hand, hot

At long last, it looks as if a
moving picture on bastfcall is
coming out that will resemble,
at least mechanically, the game
itself. 4The Stratton Story." a
movie on the life of Monte Strat
ton, Chicago White Sox pitcher
who lost a leg in a hunting acci
dent, will be loaded with real
ballgamers, such as Bill Dickey,
Jimmy Dykes and over 20 others,
including George Vico. Screen
Star Jimmy Stewart is to play
the part of Stratton, which may
or may not be okeh so far as
his ballplaying ability is concern
ed. But at least the others in the
background won't look and act
like so many goofballs as is us
ually the cas in baseball mov
ies, Hollywood version. . . .

As we explained awhile back,
in noting that the "West" is cer
tainly on the shy side for playing
talent what with her two big boys,
California and Oregon destined
for other than the Shrine game in
San Francisco New Year's day,
no less than 15 teams in the west
are committed to various bowls.
Oklahoma, SMU, Texas, Nevada,
Baylor, Missouri, Oklahoma A&M,
Oregon and California are of the
stoutest in the 15, Which has
caused West Maestros Babe Hol
lingbery and Percy Locey to
moan, "How are we to compete
favorably with the East, when
they can recruit men from Mich
igan and Notre Dame, the two
top outfits in the nation?" Both
ha vent been reluctant to admit
the grass is short in the west,
while the east has a berry patch. . .
An interesting angle on the California-Northwestern
Rose Bowl
joust comes of an interview a
Fresno, Cal., writer had with
Frank Leahy, the Notre Dame
coach during a speaking visit the
other day by Leahy to, of all
places, Tulare. The famed mentor
apparently let his hair down but
good during the high school bene
fit dinner. To quote the scribe
sans the use of quotes, Leahy de
livered thusly:
. Northwestern truly is a fine
football team. We had great dif
ficulty winning,- 12 to 7, at a
time when we were at our peak.
California should be forewarned.
Northwestern has amazing speed
blinding speed. Its big, fast
fullback, Murakowski, has a
burning desire to go places with
a football. He weighs 195 pounds
and can run the 100 in 10 flat
Northwestern is further equipped
with clever halfback in Aschen
bresner. Miller, Tunnicliff and
Worthington, and has a smart
ball handler and passer in Bur
son at quarterback. Northwestern
blocks hard and tackles very well.
Its blocking and speed make those
forays at the flanks highly effec
tive. If California does not have
good ends it will be in trouble.
I wouldn't be surprised to see
Northwestern emerge triumphant
in the Rose Bowl.
About those rumors that I am
to quit Notre Dame and take a
coaching job in Southern Cali
fornia, let me say that if I ever
do leave Notre Dame I hope to
come west and live. But I expect
to remain at South Bend as long
as they want me. About Army,
Northwestern and other teams
cancelling out games. Sure, we'd
play Michigan any old day. If s
a natural. However, we're not
going to beg people to play us.
We can fill stadiums every Sat
urday. People come from miles
around to see Notre Dame, and
I say that with personal humil
ity. As a matter of fact, I'dMike
.to pick out the 10 top teams of
the nation and schedule them. If
we lost three or four games that
would be perfectly: all right, so
long as we were not humiliated.
Nobody likes to be humiliated.
We wdrk out two hours and
no longer, Leahy continued. Our
athletes are required to have an
academic average of 77 per cent
or better, while other students
can graduate on 70. An athlete
just cannot participate unless he
hits that 77 mark. Notre Dame
demands that athletes matricu
lating must come from the top
one-third of their high school
classes. Our problem is rejecting
boys who want to attend. The
current academic average of our
football team is 83 plus.
Such is what Leahy said at
Tulare. It was reported by Fres
no's Ed Orman. And it also gives
the casual bystander a pretty good
slant on (1) what might happen
in the Rose Bowl, (2) Coach
Frank Leahy and (3) Notre Dame.

Pancho Gonzales Gets Ranldng
As 1948's Best Tennis Player
By Gayle Talbot
NEW YORK, Dec. lfc-OTVDick Gonzales, the tall hombre from Los
Angeles who swept through the national championships at Forest
Hills, has very properly been ranked the country's No. 1 tennis
player for 1948
The only player who might have
halted the coast terror's march te
the title Ted Schroeder of La
Crescent, Calif. has been award
ed the No. 2 spot by the selection
committee. Schroeder did not play
in the championships, but he dis
played all his old-time brilliance
in helping squash Australia for the
Davis cup. .
Frank ie Parker, veteran two
time former national champion
from Los Angeles, was ranked
third; Billy Talbert of New York
City, fourth, and Bob Falkenburg
of Beverly Hills, fifth. Falkenburg
won the Wimbledon crown, most
glittering of them all, but couldn't
beat anybody after that.
Completing the first 10 are Earl
Cochell, San Francisco, No. 6; E.
Victor Seixas, Jr., Philadelphia, No.
7; Gardnar Mulloy, Miama, Fla.,
No. 8; Herbert Flam, Beverly Hills,
Calif, No, 9, and Harry Likas, Jr.,
San Francisco, No. 10.
The rankings will not become of
ficial until they are approved at
the annual meeting of the U. SX.
T. A. here on Jan. 22.
