Notre Dame Holds
20-Point Margin
Los Angeles, Dec. 3 IP To look
at the Trojans of Southern Cali
fornia today nobody would ever
think they are a team consigned,
by the "experts," to defeat at the
hands of Notre Dame tomorrow.
The players, students, faculty
and the whole town feels that this
Is the year of upsets and South
ern California has a fighting
chance.
"Navy did it; Truman did It;
and Southern California can do it
too," chanted the students as they
held their last big pre-game ral
lies. The cold figures, however, show
Notre Dame is a 20-point favorite
to chalk up its 22nd straight vic
tory and 28th game without de
feat. Portland Eagles
Defeat Seattle
(By United Press)
The Portland Eagles pushed the
Seattle Ironmen a little further
into the Pacific Coast hockey
league cellar last night.
In a northern division contest,
the Eagles edged past the Iron
men, 3 to 2, with Howie Hamilton,
newly-acqulred center from Oak
land, scoring the winning marker.
In the southern division, the
San Diego Skyhawks bested the
Fresno Falcons, 5 to 2. After a
slow start, the Skyhawks got their
offensive rolling in the second
period, ending the stanza at two
all tie. In the last frame they
turned the game into a rout.

Sport Parade
By Oscar Fraley
(United Prtru Sports Writer)
New York, Dec. 3 HP) Stem
with indignation. Army, football
coach Earl (Red) Blalk vehement
ly denied today that he had "any
thing" to do with refusing a bowl
bid of which Army had three
because he feared a possible meet
ing with powerful Notre Dame.
Blaik, who has turned out three
undefeated teams at Army within
four years, insisted that he "never
was much of a bowl man." And
he disclosed that when he coach-J
ed at Dartmouth he personally
had turned thumbs down on a
Rose bowl bid.
The Army coach was tight-lipped
and grim-eyed as he refuted
a New Orleans report that he had
turned down a Sugar bowl bid af
ter Secretary of the army Ken
neth Royall and top academy of
ficials had okayed the trip.
Taylor's Decision
"On Nov. 9 Gen. (Maxwell D.)
Taylor announced that we were
not interested in post season
games," Blalk said. "Later Secre
tary Royall called and asked Tay
lor what was our stand. Gen. Tay
lor told him we were against such
games and it was Taylor's decis
ion not Blaik's."
Three of the top bowls, exclud
ing the Rose bowl, had invited
Army "several times" during the
past couple of years and also this
season, Blalk explained.
"There are always dirty innu
endoes," he snapped.
"We are different than any
other institution," the coach add
ed. "Our boys don't get to go
home often. Christmas week is
about the only time. Then, too,
they have their written mid-year
examinations in December and
it doesn't matter whether you
play football or not if you fail
them."
That, he explained, was the
chief reason why Army has re
fused all bowl offers,
Football Incidental
"Football still is incidental at
West Point," he said. "And it
should be. I believe the purpose
of going to college is to get an
education. These games extend
the season but, more Important,
they might cause some Cadet to
flunk i out of the academv. It
wouldn't be worth it if one boy
failed.
Blaik made these statements as
he. appeared to accept the Lam
bert award for Army as the out
standing team in the east this
season.
"But I don't think we'll be back
to claim it next year," he grinned,
fondling the huge silver and gold
trophy. "Remember, we start
with Penn State and Michigan."
Toying with the silver figure of
a football player mounted on the
gold football atop the trophy,
Blalk without hesitation said that
this year's undefeated team, tied
only by Navv. did not compare
with the 1944-'45-'46 teams sijear
headed by Glenn Davis and Felix
Blanchard.
"There's no comtarison be
tween the material," he said. "We
aren't as good now as we were
then. But I do want to say this
in tribute to the boys of 1948.
they certainly gave us a lot of
mileage."
Asked who was the best play
er he had seen this season, the
Army coach lauded Navy's Bill
Hawkins, the fullback from Rich
mond. Va., who scored twice to
give Navy a tie last Saturday.
LUMBER WORKER KILLED

Clemson and
Irish Favored
New York, Dec. 3 iU?i Notre
Dame and Clemson were heavy
favorites today to wind up the
long football season Saturday as
members of a tight circle of per
fect record teams.
Casualties were heavy among
the potential giants during the
12-week season and only Califor
nia and Michigan so far have fin
ished their campaigns with neith
er a defeat nor a tie.
But the Irish of Notre Dame,
unbeaten in 27 straight games,
were favored by 20 v points to
join them with a victory over
Southern California. Clemson,
last of the south's unbeaten elev
ens, was a prohibitive choice over
cellar-dwelling Citadel in the
southern conference.
Walker Is Named
Top Grid Star
New York, Dec. 3 IIP) Doak
Walker, the Southern Methodist
backfield ace, today was named
the football player of the year in
a United Press poll of football
writers and sports broadcasters
from every section of the nation.

280 persons participating in the
poll. At the same time he was
named back of the year, receiving
139 out of 294 votes cast in that
poll.
They were the third and fourth
major honors accorded Walker
this week. On Tuesday, he was
chosen for the Heisman trophy,
awarded annually, to the nation's
outstanding collegiate football
player, and on Wednesday he was
named for the second successive
season on the 1948 United Press
all-America football team.
