By TED MEIER
NEW YORK, Dec. 13 (P)
Spread of the tricky "T" forma
tion and better play of civilian
teams were tho most noteworthy
trends of the 1044 college foot
ball season, an Associated Press
survey showed totiay.
Leading exponent of the
system, famed for its deception
and quick opening plays, vas
of course the unbeaten and un
tied West Point Cadets, but
virtually all sections of the coun
try reported an increasing num
ber of teams dropping the singlo

of the T.

Two Perfect Cage
Records Smashed
By The Associated Press
Two unmarred records, one
collegiate and one service, were
smashed last night as the East
ern Washington college Savages
blasted previously undefeated
Washington Stale colloge 57-37
and Whitman college bumped
the Pasco naval air station. Fly
ers 59-49.
The Ephrata air base edged
Gonzaga university 49-48 and
Idaho, despite a basket accident
ally tipped into the opposition
basket by Vandal Guard Len
Pyne, downed the Walla Walla
army airXield 39-28.
On the strategic side of the
cage picture. University of
Washington Coach Hoc Edmund
son announced he had switched
Don McMillan, top scorer of the
Husky five, to center, and Bill
Vandenburg, to forward. The
move was made, he said, to bet
ter accommodate each player's
style of play.

after experimenting with it in
1943. The University of Cali
fornia, UCLA and Washington
likewise were converts.
In the Southeast conference
Coach Ab Kirwan of Kentucky
adopted the T, but reverted to
the single wing after three games
because so many of his players
were injured. He went back
to the balanced line setup for
Kentucky's last two games
wnen enough players recovered,
Since the T formation tends
to make every play a touchdown
play observers noted that the
game veered away from con
servative tactics. As George
Veenker, Iowa State athletic di
rector, declared: "finesse and
percentages went out the win
dow." He attributed this atti
tude in part to the military
axiom that to win you must at
tack at all times.
Press box experts the nation
over reported better play by all
civilian elevens as exemplified
by Ohio State's perfect season.
They pointed out that the tough
navy ana marine trainees ol
1943 had largely moved on into
the fighting theaters and that
the new trainees frequently were
boys with only high school ex-
penence. Thus civilian teams,
aided in some cases by clis
charged veterans, were more on
an equal plane with navy V-12
or marine trainee laaen oppon.

This levelling off process
brought many 17 and 18-year-
olds to the fore as spectacular
backfield runners. Bob Kelly
of Notre Dame; Buddy Young
of Illinois; Bob Fenimore of the
Oklahoma Aggies and Tony
Minisi of Pennsylvania were
among the more prominent.

Tough Tony Ross has been

This rounds out a four-star
show, with no raise in prices to
Klamath rassling fans, which
features two main events and
brings back Gorgeous George
Wagner, tho self-styled "Toast

a card as has been seen at the
armory in many months and
Llllard has gone to great
lengths to bring this snlendid
array of grappling talent to town.

Gloomy Gust, who has been do

rassler, however, and may be
able to lure Johnson into his

happens its all over but the

Dams Ruining Salmon
Industry, Says Wire
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 13
W) Frank Wire, Oregon fish
and game commission representa
tive at the western association
of fish and game commission
meeting here, urged Monday
that state commissions study pro
posed dam construction projects
and make recommendations as
to their probable effect on fish
ing. Wire declared that "continued
and unnecessary" construction
of dams "on practically every
large river in the northwest is
slowly but surely sounding the
death knell of Oregon's salmon
industry, despite fish ladders."
