Off The Pace in S.F. Tournament

GOLF SHOTS
Bill Selkirk, assistant pro
at Raamai. ii at il again try
ing to pick up soma of tha
golfing moola that is lying
around the wait coast these
dayi. Bill i competing in
tha annual San Francisco open
at present and posted a 39-
40 79 for tha first IS hole
route.
Now that kind of golf is not
going to put Bill up in the
monev brackets by a long shot,
but if he could shatter par just
once with, say. a 70, he might
place in the first twenty and
'.hat's where they pay off.
Wa seriously doubt that Bill
can beat out such sharp
shooters as Slammin' Sammy
Snead. Jug McSpaden. Byron
Nelson and Sam Byrd. al
though stranger things hare
happened to be sure. But
tha local shot maker could
finish high up on the pay-off
list if he could once get start
ed shooting the golf he has
proved himself capable of
many 1 i m e s on the local
course.
We realize that the San Fran
cisco layout is probably five
times more difficult, but good
golf is pretty much the same
no matter where it is played.
So, we hope Bill catches en
fire, even to somebody giv
ing him the hotfoot, because
your clubs have to really
smoke. ' laddies, when you're
matching shots with such
guys as Samuel Jackson
Snead and his fairway
cronies!

Rassling Show
In a wild, bloody, rough-and-ready
melee that brought the
crowd to its feet, the semi-wind-up
bout on the rassling card
stole the show last night at the
armory. The wild fracas saw
Bulldog Jackson and "Blood and
Guts" Davidson crunch cran
iums to a draw In a show that
was reminiscent of the Keystone
Kops. The two grapplers pitched
each other and Referee Wally
Moss all over the armory and at
one time were slugging it out
under the square while the ring
side customers peered under
neath like curious owls.
Amid bellows of pain from
Bulldog Jackson, Interspersed
with loud cries of "Oh, you dirty
rat!" Davidson used his bridge
work to good advantage all dur
ing the fray, taking large bites
out of the Bulldog's tough hide.
At one time when botli torso
twisters were going nt it in the
taps of the cash customers, Jack
son seized a chair and worked
his prone opponent over with
the intent of committing mat
mayhem.
Each body-bender gained a
tumble, Bulldog taking the first
with a stomping hammerlock,
and "Blood and Guts" grabbing
the second with a half-crab to
end the affair even-Steven.

and George Fazio, Pine Valley,

Sam Snead, Hot Springs, Va.,
and Bvron Nelson, Toledo, O.,

72 behind them. Snead. on his
tournament comeback after 26
months' service in the navy,
blew two strokes on the- 17th

Les. Horvath Wins
Hiesman Memorial
NEW YORK, Dec. 2 (P) Les
Horvath, Ohio State quarter
back, was named winner of the
Hiesman' memorial trophy as
the outstanding college football
player of 1944 today. He will
receive the award at the annual
banquet at the Downtown Ath
letic club Tuesday night.
Horvath received 412 votes
to 287 for Glenn Davis, speedy
left halfback on Army's un
beaten squad and the nation's
leading scorer. Felix (Doc) Blan
chard, Army fullback and
blocker de luxe, was third with
237.
Angclo Bertclli of Notre
Dame, was the winner a year
ago.
Brawl Steals
at Armory
go was a bit more on the scien
tific side and was a fast, clean
match. Gust got the nod for the
first fall with a surfboard hold
that practically put Parks out
of commission, but the Canadian
light-heavy king courageously
attempted to answer the bell
only to have Johnson immediate
ly apply the same hold to end
the match.
In the opener, newcomer Tar
zan Potvln butted biceps with
Tough Tony Ross to another
draw when Referee Wally Moss
awarded the final fall to Tarzan
because of the Illegal tactics
used by the rugged Cherokee.
Ross really went on the warpath
at this decision but Wally proved
himself ready, willing and able
to square off any time, any place
and Tony left the ring amid boos
and catcalls from the crowd.
The special added attraction
scheduled for last night be
tween PFC Hoesa Fowler from
the Marine Barracks and Pvt.
Carl Walters, soldier MP from
Tulelake, did not materialize
when Walters failed to show up.
The reason for his failure to ap
pear was not known by Promo
ter Mack Lillard. Fowler was on
deck and ready to go but the
bout was called off as no suit
able opponent was available.
Last night's bill of fare was a
good one in all respects and an
other red-hot crunch card is on
deck for -next Friday night,

In Pre-Game
Betting Odds
By FRITZ HOWELL
BALTIMORE, Dec. 2 .-P)
The most widely-discussed
sports event of the decade the
Army-Navy football game
moved today from the conver
sational stage to the gridiron.
And, as the chips wont into
the pot for the Municipal sta
dium showdown between the
country's two top - ranking
elevens, plenty was at stake.
To all unbeaten West Point,
victory would mean the nation
al title and the first perfect sea
son since 1916.
Navy, 10-point or 2-to-l un
derdog, hoped to stretch its vic
tory spring over the cadets to
six straight, longest domination
in the bitter pigskin rivalry
dating back to 1890. The previ
ous 44 contests: Army 22, Navy
19, and there were deadlocks.
A portion of the expected
crowd of 70,000 purchased war
bonds reported worth $50,000,
000 to obtain tickets after the
annual classic was transferred
from the comparative seclusion
of nearby Annapolis.
In the throng will be the full
regiment of middies, the cadet
corps, high-ranking naval and
army officers, and groups of
veterans who lost limbs on
World war 2 battlefields. Many
of the latter will be guests of
the two academies or high gov
ernment officials who surren
dered .their coveted tickets to
the war heroes.
A two-weck layoff from com
petition put both squads in tip
top physical shape for the cru
cial clash, and each coach frac
tured all the rules by admitting
his team had a chance to win
the contest getting under way
at 2 p. m. (EWT.)
Leatherneck Game
May Be Called Off
Due to the refusal of the OPA
to issue sufficient gasoline, the
scheduled basketball game to
night between the Bend Box
company five and the Leather
necks to be played at the Bar
racks may be called off. This
is not yet definite and the con
test may be played preceded by
a blackout game between "I"
and "C" Companies.
All marines and their guests
will be admitted free.

Chemawa Indians
Blast Arlington
For "B" Crown
SALEM, Dec. 2 OP) A rug
ged T-formation squad from
Chemawa Indian school held
the Oregon class B football
crown today.
The Indians, winners of the

eastern titlist Arlington 26-6
last night before a war bond
buying audience of 2000.

the score via the aerial route,
with Quarterback Merle Wil
liams tossing three passes for
touchdowns. The fourth goal
came on a line plunge, from
the one-yard marker.
The smaller Arlington cloven,
battling gamely against a more
powerful team, clicked for a
65-yard pass play with Wayne
Christoffcrson grabbing the ball
to race .through the cntirg Che-,
