day to his list of honors that al
ready Included a hallback'a berth
on the AU-Amerlean football team
and a rating aa one of the best
students at his university.
The modest 30-year-old Univer

last night
White, one of the few All-Amert-can

Rhodes honor, raced through the
correct answers before the selection

Tm happy, he said. "Jm gra

I dont know what test questions
they asked me. I can't remember
a thing about them."
White, asked concerning reports
he had received offers to play pro
fessional football, and what effect
the scholarship award might have
on such proposals, said he never
had been Interested In "pro" foot

And I never received any of
fers to play In It," he added.
"Did my football playing teach
me anything that helped me to pass
the test? 1 can't answer that. I
dont know. I don't know how I
was able to pass. But I know this
will give me a chance to study law
for two years over at Oxford. I'll
study another year when I get back.

examination that he wanted to "see
how Sam's doing over there."
His home Is In Wellington, Colo..

standing some confusion in the
minds of our sporu experts as to
Just where we are going. In some
respects, It s obvious tney tnink the
growth in popularity of professional
football ts the most striking develop
ment ol 1937.
Of all the trends or cross-cur
rents noted during the year, the pro
gridiron boom attracted most atten
tion, as well as a bigger share of
the sports-page headlines than ever
before. For one thing it ts still
fresh In mind. For another, the cli
max games, featuring Sammy Baugh
and the Washington Kcdskins, pro
duced the most exciting football of
1937, amateur, pro or semi-pro.
No other trend or development
was even close to pro football, which
got the vote of 22 out of 63 experts
participating in the seventh annual
Associated Pres poll.
Seven noted the growing popular
ity of football in general, five em
phasized the paralleling increase in
gate receipts, while five more sug
gested that defensive grid maneuv
ers, such as the five-man line, rep
resented the year's most conspicu
ous trend.
Otherwise the poll reflected noth-
lng so much as contrasts of opinion
or viewpoint. Five sports editors
pointed to more liberal collegiate
views on the subsidization of ath
letes, including "more open recruit
lng" or "calm acceptance of pro
fessionalism In college football,1
but Lhree others believe the trend is
toward more "de-emphasis," leb
recruiting, and decreased demands
for all-winning teams.
Sextant Needed

King Island (Via Teller and

timekeeper of the Ice bowl game
New Year's day is going to need
a sextant as well as a watch, or
else the second half of the Arc
tic championship tussle may
wind up on January 2.
Fr. Bernard Hubbard, S.J.. and
the coaches of Uie two Eskimo
teams, Ed Levin and Ken Chls
hold, speculated on this prob
lem today. ,
They recalled that a few days
ago the teams were forced to
train Indoors because a gale
came along and blew away the
Ice field on the village side of
the Island.
"What we're afraid of now,"
Levin said, "la that In the beat of
battle, the Ice field may break
away again. Then If Plglok,
my star fullback, makes a wide
sweep around end, he may end
up on the other side of the In
ternational dateline."
The "dateline"" Is 75 miles
east of this IVring Strait Island.
