Ahh-Glub, Glub-This Tops
Anything on Those Islands
' San Francisco, Oct. 30 P) Guests at a San Francisco hotel
rubbed their eyes in amazement recently while 27 bright young
men walked into the lobby and elevatored to their rooms, each
one packing a big watermelon. .They handled the fruit with
loving care.
The young men were members of the football squad of the
University of Hawaii, here to play a couple of mainland
games. Watermelon is one delicacy the boys from the island
haven't been having much of for a long time. As Dr. Fran
; cis D'Eliscu, director of athletics at the university, explained
i it, the fruit costs from 35 to 40 cents a pound back home.
; That puts it beyond the reach of a lot of lads trying to get a
college education,
! When the Hawaii squad arrived here they made a bee-line for
ihc first fruit market to make personal acquaintanceship with
Mr. Watermelon. The biyfiest ones they could find. For some
thing like three days, hotel help was carting out melon rinds by
the bushel.
Remarkable Rice Owls
Boost Coach to Top Spot
New York, Oct. 30 'UR) Except for the southern drawl that
doesn't go with his rugged features, he might be mistaken for
Abraham Lincoln and he has the same honest and straightfor
ward principles about coaching football. His school is the small
est in a rough, tough conference with an enrollment of 1500
and its academic standards are
the highest.
But he reasons logically
that kids with good grades
can play better football than
athletic tramps with low
. scholastic marks and he re-
' fuses to go out after lop-
flight talent.
The talent instead comes to
him.
Texas Nemesis
He's the United Press coach
of the week, genial Jess Neely
of the Rice Institute Owls who
upset mighty Texas, 18 to 13
last Saturday.
It is the second time in as
many years that Ncely has been
named coach of the week for
beating Texas which has come
to be his specialty it has hap
pened three years in a row now
wilh Rice in the underdog role
each time
Last Saturday's job, how
ever, was the biggest he ever
accomplished as Rice coach.
'Texas was riding high with
a perfect record and in many
'quarters was being rated high
er than Army's crashing Ca
dets. ' Ncely put a stop to that trend
of thought.
. The 48-year-old Ncely says
his material this year is the best
in his 20-year coaching career,
but he isn't optimistic over the
future, because he thinks other
trams have correspondingly im
proved players. To date. Rice
lias won four games and lost but
line, 7 to 6 to Louisiana State
on a muddy field in its opener,
'flic Owls have run up 118
points against 3H for their com
bined opposition and are tied
ilh Texas A & M for I li c
Snulhwcsl conference lead.

Russ Newland, Associated Press sports writer, caught a pound
ing for a grievous error. For many yean Newland has contend
ed that the most rabid football fans live in the state of Oregon.
He has really gained proof.
Newland says: "On Oct. 12, Oregon Slate beat Southern
California, 6-0, at Portland. When one of the USC repre
sentatives was around here last week, wc posed the ques
tion, 'How conic those terrific Trojans lost to Oregon State?'
He shrugged it off with, 'One of those days. Wet field, OSC
was really high for us.' Let the culprit go unnamed. We
wouldn't wish him the ton of trouble that has engulfed us."
Did Newland catch it? Well, immediately his office was Hood
ed with letters, all of the strong variety. Several fans even
threatened murder if the "wet field" statement wasn't withdrawn.
Most of the writers preferred anonymity, a maddening trait.
Newland replies: "This is the second mistake I have made in my
1 '
attempts, along wilh spectacular
little fellows today.

So soes the field.
Check the little guy's picture
with this column today. Have
you ever noticed anyone in
exceptions? George Guerre is
the name, 159-pound halfback
for Michigan State. The fellow
is unusual in these days of grid
giants. Even Glenn Davis, Ar
my's "little" skat back, tips the
scales to 175. It isn't that the
small-slaturcd guy is lost on
gridirons today. Facts gleam
out there arc more big and fast
fellows around for coaches to
select from. Davey O'Briens,
Albie Booths, and like sparkers
are shoved to strings further
down the line. Mentors fight
beef with beef, only now and
then calling on rugged mites
with plenty of drive. Guerre
(prounecd Gary), who carries
only 159 pounds on a five foot,
seven-inch frame, is almost a
one-man football team. For
example, against Penn Slate he
scored one touchdown and set
up two others. He rushed 160
of the Spartans' 304 yards and
completed three of four pass
punting. It can be done by the

Johnny Naumu, who got his
first flash of publicity last
Saturday while leading the
USC Trojans to victory over
Stanford.
Both these stars will appear
in Los Angeles this week-end.
Undefeated UCLA Bruins will
lake on St. Mary's Friday night
and that's when Wedcmeyer
will cavort. Old-timers in this
section are referring to his 150
yard run against Nevada Sun
day as the greatest individual
piece of work ever displayed on
a football field. It makes no
difference that the run was
called back, it was the way that
Squirmin' Herman turned the
trick that caught the eye.
On Saturday in Los Angel
