two weeks while he recuperates from
an attack of flu.
A bitter battle Is being waged for
the two starting tackle posts, with
Hibert and Dale Howard having an
edge over Bill Clute and Al Barrow,

Jones and Erl are knocking them
dead at the guards, and Prentice at
center Is a fixture.
Almost 100 applications for reserv

Lombardi of Reds Awarded
"Most Valuable" Accolade
NEW YORK. Not. 1. vfl Following, as It usually does, the best
hitter or the best pitcher In the league, the award for the most valuable
player in the National league In 1938 goes to Ernie Lombardi, an Italian
playing an American game in a German town.
The big Italian who catches for the
Cincinnati Reds rolled up 229 points
In the voting by the Baaebairwriters'
Association of America. He Is the
first Cincinnati player ever to win
the title.
Lombardi has much to recommend
him. He led the league in hitting
with .343 and according to his man
ager. Will McKechnle. had much to
do with the success of the Reds'
young hurlers this year. He cannot
run fast enough- to scare any in
flelders but he Is a big, calm, re
sourceful catcher with an arm like
a bull-whip.
Ernie, or "Bosho" as they called
him In his salad days at Brooklyn,
was placed first on 10 of the 34
ballots of the writers' voting com
mittee, a fine percentage considering
the opposition.
He was 63 points ahead of Bill
Lee, the Chicago Cubs' hurler, who
finished second. Lee was one of the
main reasons for the Cubs perky
showing in the late season drive. He
worked four days In a row in the
final week of the season. His 32nd
victory of the year clinched the
pennant for the Cubs.
Just behind Lee was Arky Vaughan,
the Pittsburgh Pirates' shortstop and
leading hitter. He wound up with
163 points to Lees 166. Mel Ott.
the Giants' perennial boy wonder
who topped the league In driving
home runs, was fourth and Buck
McCormlck. the Reds large rookie
first baseman, fifth.
McCormlck should be satisfied. Few
first year men get that close to the
top.
Gabby Hartnett. the Cubs' catcher.
Mace Brown. Pittsburgh relief hurler
and McCormlck all received votes for
first place, though not with Lorn
bardl's frequency. Ducky Med wick,
last year's winner, didn't get one and
wound up 11th.
Lombardi Is 30 and lives In Oak
land. Calif. He came up to Brooklyn
from the Coast league but was traded
to Cincinnati In 1931.
BOWLING
SOCKEYE HALTS
OVER LOCAL RING
Sockeye Jack McDonatd got back
Into his winning groove at the Med
ford armory last night before & ca
pacity crowd- of ladies ntghters, and ;
as he d.d so popular Paul Murdock !
lost his first wrestling match of
the year here. The big ex-Seattle
logger took a bruising two-out-of-three-fall
verdict from Murdock. in
a main event filled with spectacular
action from beginning to end.
It took McDonald, ''wrestling clean,
31 minutes to garner the first tum
ble. After being weakened by Mur
dochs terrific headlocks for the bet
ter part of 20 minutes, Sockeye
finally revived enough to slam Paul
Into the ropes and wham him In
the stomach as he rebounded. Twice
he did that, the second time prov
ing all that Murdock could stand.
Ho sunk to the canvas and McDon
ald pinned him with a body press,
Three minutes later Murdock even
ed the score. Twice he smashed
Sockeye to the floor with sonnen
bers. then climaxed the attack with
a flying tackle and body press.
Such a beating did Sockeye take
in losing that fall that when they
came back after the rest period for
the third and deciding press, ap
peared like Murdock would end
things in short order. He whipped
McDonald over his shoulder several
times with flying mares, but Sock
eye gathered himself together and
as Murdock rushed at him with a
sonnenberg. McDonald caught the
Texan under the chin with both
hands, flipped him over backwards,
and climbed on top for the fall.
Pet Brlcastro took two straight
falls from Montr LnDue in the sec
ond and third rounds of the mid
dle event, using his bouncing surf
board to do the trick. The match was
bitterly fought, with Belcastro per
forming in his usual dirty manner
and 1-aDue not staying too pure.
Prankie Schroll took the lone fall
of the opener from Buddy Knox.

with deadly effect. H was a clean

Rose Bowl Teams
In Stretch Drive;
Panthers Favored
The halfway mark In this 1938
football season was passed last Sat

anyway to feed
Bowl chatter.
Before we come out flatly and tell
you what two ball clubs are going
to fight It out In the country's most
famous "bowl" encounter, let's take
a look at those still unbeaten and
untied aggregations, all of which ars
potential Rose Bowl performers. We'll
leave out the Big Ten, which would
not send a team If it could, and
Santa Clara, apparently barred from
the classic by Pacific Coast confer
ence bigwigs, etc.
In the Coast conference, only Cal
ifornia's Golden Bears and the Uni
versity of Southern California Tro
jans are ttlll In the running. Not
mathematically, of course, because
the sky could fall In and send UCLA
or Stanford or possible Oregon State
or Oregon to Pasadena. But. It's a
10 to 1 shot that one or the other
will represent the Pacific coast come
January 3. 1830. Which team it is
will be decided, undoubtedly, next
Saturday, when they clash In Los
Angeles. With the proper Inducement,
we would take a little filer on the
Jonesmen.
lally, in view of the fact that the
Southeastern league has proved such
a popular section for choosing Bowl
teams In the past. -
In the east It's mighty Pitts
burg leading the way, as usual,
with Dartmouth of the Ivy "
league running the Panthers a
close second for favoritism among
the "experts." pltt, of course,
should go on through without
a record blemish, although Car
negie Tech could cause some
trouble and Nebraska won't be
a pushover, not to mention Duke
again. As for Dartmouth, It U
doubtful If the big Green team
would accept a Rose Bowl bid,
tied up as It Is with those high-
hat Ivy leaguers. But It might.
Coming back toward home, the
only two major undefeated and un
tied teams In the middle west are
Oklahoma of the Big Six and Notre
Dame's Irish. The Sooners probably
wouldn't get an Invite regardless of
the outcome of their regular season,
because Oklahoma. Isn't exactly a big
name. Notre Dame, flying high now,
must yet face Navy, Minnesota ,
Northwestern and Southern Califor
nia, and It appears only a miracle
can carry them through those games
without a defeat. Anyway, Notre
Dame and Southern California play
at Los Angeles, December 3, and an
other appearance of Notre Dame In
southern California so soon would
probably be frowned upon by the
gentlemen who count the gate re
ceipts. -
Dropping down toward the Gulf of
Mexico, we come to the Southwest
conference, often called the toughest
football league In the world. Here.
Texas Christian has been sweeping
all before It and seems destined to
keep right on going without a back
ward glance. Remaining on the
Horned Frogs slate are Tulsa, Texas.
Rice and Southern Methodist, and
Rice appears the only one capable
of stopping Davey O'Brien, who Is
making them all forget . Sammy
Baugh.
In the Southern conference, the
lone Rose Bowl possibility is unde
feated and untied Duke, Coached by
Wallace Wade, who used to be fit
Alabama. Although the Blue Devils
are unquestionably plenty powerful,
they play Pittsburg November 26.
which occurrence should preclude the
possibility of them remaining un
licked. In the Southeastern confer

number one team la Tennessee. The.
Volunteers apparently have only one
extra-tough game remaining on their

So. by eliminating Dartmouth,
Duke, Oklahoma, and Notre
Dame, for the above mentioned
reasons, the teams still In the
running for Rose Bowl activity
seem to he Pittsburg, Tennessee,
Texas Christian, Southern Cali
fornia and California. We almost
forgot Vlllanova, a fine and un
defeated eastern outfit coached
hy Maurice (Clipper) Smith,
formerly of Santa Clara and of
Portland university when It was
Columbia. However, like Okla
homa, Vlllnnova Isn't quite a big
enough name to draw Rose Bowl
attention, unless the unforseen
happens and those headUnere get
netted over while Vlllanova re
mains undefeated.
Our prediction for the Rose Bowl
opponents Is Southern California
versus Pittsburg. This writer believes
the Trojans will whip California next
Saturday and breeze right on
through, while Pittsburg appears un
beatable from this corner. The win
ner of the New Year's game? Well,
USC looks good, but oh those serai
pros of Jock Sutherland I Pitt, matlei,
really has a football club.
