He Takes Wedemeyer Over Gilmer ' LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3 (P These football postmortems wind it up until next fall, maybe, o bear with us. In the All America tub thumping, conclud ed some time back, there was considerable competition be tween the rooting section for Alabama's Harry Gilmer and St. Mary's Herman Wedemeyer. These two halfbacks had wide upport for mythical national team honors, deservedly so. This writer saw Wedemeyer in his most Important games, excluding the Sugar Bowl. He saw Gilmer in the Rose Bowl against South ern California. They are a dandy pair, no mis take. Which would be consid ered the more valuable? In our book it would be Wedemeyer. These are the reasons. Wede meyer served in a greater grid iron capacity than Gilmer. He handled more chores than the Alabaman and had less to work with in the matter of squad strength. Alabama supporters said Gil mer had an off day against USC when he completed four out of a dozen passes. Ho looked plenty good, nevertheless, on the pitches, he throws 'em long and short. Wedemeyer throws about as good a pass as Gilmer, although the latter's pogo pass from off the ground is more spectacular. They're first class ball carriers, Wedemeyer slightly harder knocking and Gilmer's lope, whirl and change of pace a bit more deceptive. As safety man, we'd rank them about equal. Wedemeyer's add ed value lay In the fact he stood out as a punter and place kick or. On defense ho was near the top in pass interceptions, in fact nis an Hrouna ocicnsivo uiay compared favorably to the best seen anywhere in years. Gilmer of Alabama Is a cork ing player, good enough for any team. So is Wedemeyer. However. we think that most coaches, if they had to make a choice be tween these two, would pick the Hawaiian-born athlete attending St. Mary s because of ms im pressive versatility. 8 CP GOTO Twenty-One Ball Players Named For Hall Of Fame NEW YORK, Jan. 3 UP) Twenty-one former major league baseball stars have been nomi nated by the Baseball Writers' Association of America for places in baseball's hall of fame.

Conn Starts Grind Readying For Louis PITTSBURGH, Jan. 3 UP) Billy Conn was en route to Hot Springs, Ark., today for a train ing grind he hoped would pare 10 pounds off his weight and get his legs in trim for his heavy weight title bout with Joe Louis next June.

We'll both be in good shape." - TAKE HOME THE BACON HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 3 UP) All; during the war a customer at one Hastings meat market joshed his butcher by walking into the shop - and calling out loudly, "10 pounds of bacon please."

Ohio State Mentor Steps Down A Notch In Jobs COLUMBUS. O.. Jan. 3 CP) Ohio State university today had its fourth new head football coach in 12 years after an unpre cedented swap in which the head coach and his assistant traded jobs. Moved uo to head coach was Paul O. Bixler, 39, an assistant since 1941. Dropped back to assistant was Carroll C. Widdoes, 42, who in 1944 gave the Bucks their first perfect regular season since 1920 and a Big Ten champion ship and whose 1945 team lost only to Purdue and Michigan. Widdoes also was named "coach of the year" in 1944. The Ohio State athletic board i which said it unanimously ap- Whtn in Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anne Earley Proprietors ' proved the change, made public a copy of a letter from Widdoes in which he offered his resigna tion because- "I have come to the conclusion that I was better satisfied as an assistant than I have been as head coach." , PLAN VACATION LONDON, Jan. 3 (P) Former Prime Minister Winston Chur chill and Mrs. - Churchill will leave January 9 aboard the Queen Elizabeth for their Amer ican vacation, it was announced today.

IMBID By HALE SCARBROUGH ONE FULL JACK Now that the bowl games arc over and the traffic jams around the stadia . at Pasadena, Nuw Orleans and San Francisco are probably g e 1 1 lug thin ned out a bit, we will admit we came out a small bit of pocket change ahead on our forecasts al though w a muffed a cou ple horribly. We now blush ingly grant that Oklahoma A. & M, has a better team than St. Mary's and that Toxas can whip Missouri. We also took the East over the West in the Shrine game and certainly hope that the Eastern coaches make a New Year's reso lution to include a fullback on their teams henceforth, someone who can at least stumble and fall over the line from one foot away. RASSLING RESUME In rassling, as In everything else, a tret', of fashion can be perceived and the northwest cir cuit, may be having the end of one cycle and the beginning of another in the gentle art of mayhem before customers. All last year the brutal bash ers held sway, led by the re doubtable Grey Mask. Also in the eye-gduging, head-butting retinue were such mat demons as Jack Lipscomb, Rufus Jones, Pete Bclcastro, George Wagner and Georges Dusctte. Then, in the late months, a new type of grappler began to ease into the picture, clean, youthful, energetic and talented. In that group count Joe Ly nam, Angclo Martinclli and Herb Parks. They met the ruf fians on the latter's own terms, were very successful and pleased the crowd. Lynam holds the only known win. over the Grey Mask, Lynam also has lift ed Jack Lipscomb's junior heavy crown, both Martinclli and Parks have battled the circuit's Murderer's Row to a standstill. Now into the latter rank comes another ex-army man, Joe Smo linsky, who will battle Herbic Parks here next Tuesday, All we know of Smolinsky is that he was an army wrestling and phy sical training Instructor, so the odds are he has talent along the line of pure muscling. Two old warhorses, Jack Lips comb and Gust Johnson, will bash it out in the semi-windup of the year's first grapple card. Jack is undoubtedly the vilest tempered gentleman to , crawl in the local ring for a long time, while the Old Viking is a mild mannered cuss and very popu lar. The likeable MartinellJ takes Thursday.

Muscular Martinclli had to threaten to whip the Detrollcr to get him to leave the ring after he'd lost to tho Musk. The battle went on in the dressing room so long tho other rasslcrs suggested they sign on the dotted line and settle their differences in the ring. It's a natural.
