Sports BrMi l''ira' 1 Fu,Ur,on' NEW YORK, Jan. I l -Well, that year 1843 that every body has been talking about ar rived an hour ahead of ached ule war time, you know and if we could ihow at much speed In coming up with the aniwen ' to all the questions about what , will happen this year, it would tiave a lot ot trouble , . . Speak ing ior sports, our guess is that "spectacles are on their way out but that competition will con tinue on a broad basis, mainly because the army and navy seem to want to get the boys In shape for service . . . Tne ' folks who followed pro football last fall concluded that It was the last season for the duration; the same impression goes with the current hockey season and we figure major league' baseball probably will stagger through 1943 and then fade out . . , The schools and colleges seem to be coming around to the idea that their job is to train boys for the armed forces and once they learn they can't run another big-time football sched- , ule, they'll probably concentrate on just that, even though the physical training costs money instead of providing it. . .

S (P) Georgia's football empire re mained Intact today but for brief moments of three flashing periods yesterday it tottered in the concrete stadium here known as the Rose bowl, The Bulldogs beat the Uni versity of California Bruins, 9 to 0 before 93,000 fans but the champions from the old south had to accomplish the feat the hard way. As measured on the statisti cal chart, the Bulldog easily mastered the Bruin, Such fig ures as 212 yards to 97 in net yards from scrimmage made the UCLA effort look pretty feeble. The 24 first downs Georgia roll- td up to five for the opposition emphasized the difference bci tween the champions of the Southeastern . and the Pacific conference. But for three periods, the short-end Bruins held the Bull dogs at bay, staved off three touchdown drives and stopped the two Georgia backficld ter rors.

Two crackerjack opposing passers turned in handsome Jobs, They were Paul Governali of Columbia, who lived up to advance notices as perhaps the greatest passer since Sid Luck man, and the West's Bob Ken nedy of Washington State. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2 VP) Their names didn't appear - in the scoring summary, but it was the smashing play of a couple of powerful sophomore tackles that gave Tennessee a 14-7 victory over the Golden Hurricanes of Tulsa in the ninth annual Sugar bowl classic New Year's day.

Spra gue said today in announcing that he had given Crosswhite commutation of sentence. Crosswhite, ace pitcher for the prison baseball team, gained na tional prominence last summer during the furore that was aroused when he was signed to the Salem baseball club of the Western International league. W. r G. Bramham, national com missioner of minor league base ball, refused to let him play. The plan had been to permit Crosswhite to pitch a few games, letting him out of prison only long enough to pitch. Crosswhite will go to work on a Portland war industry, said the state parole board, which recommended the release. Ctoss white indicated to the board that he has given up any plans to play professional baseball. He was received at the prison February 22, 1932, from Union county to serve life for the first degree murder of Amos Helms, state police officer stationed at La Grande.

The Associated Press score sheet credited him with seven rounds, two being even and one going to the Canadian, However, In only three rounds was tho champion's margin very InrRe.
