Glenn Davis, Army's star all-around back, gave one answer against Pennsylvania in the third period. In his day and time Davis has made his share of long runs, thrown . _ a L A L!. J Glenn Davis * j ana caugni ma share of passes, while also ranking high among the blockers, tackier* and kickers. But on this play in par ticular Davis ran 10 yards and then. From a swirl of Red and Blue tacklers, complete ly surrounded, the trmy back tossed a sudden lateral to Tavzel, a tackle. Tavzel then ran 40-odd yards for a touchdown. After the game we asked Davis how hg managed to find an opening on that bewildering lateral play. "What lateral play?" Davis asked. "X don't remember any lat eral play. "As a matter of fact," he eon tinned, with a grin, "I don't re member anything that happened In that period. I eaaght a good clout on the head and I haven't the slight est recollection of anything that took place after that." "Don't yon remember two long runs you made?" we asked. "No, I don't," Davis said. "The tackles you made ? the passes you threw ? the kicks yon got away?" "Not the slightest idea," he said. "1 remember someone asked me what period it was and I thought the game had Just started. I didn't remember anything that had hap pened before." It Has Happened Before So here was a back playing in a complete fog, yet working perfect ly with the signals, picking his open ings, running on the same strong, fast legs, able to hit his receivers, alert enough to throw a sudden and surprising lateral that ordinarily would have demanded the keenest type of reflex action. Naturally, the Army coaching staff knew nothing of this mental i blotting out, as Davis looked to be at his best. And even after his ! head had cleared later on there was i still no memory of what took place in those 15 minutes. We recall other cases along this ; same subconscious order. In one of his early California fights, Jack Dempsey was nailed on the chin in the first round. "That was the last thing I re membered," Jack said later. "When I came to I thought I had been knocked out but was surprised to hear I'd won the decision. I could remember nothing after that | punch." Years ago Bat Nelson told me [ that Aurelio Herrera, the hard-hit ting Mexican, once hit him with a full right. "I turned a complete somersault," Bat said, "and the lights went out. That happened in the 5th round. Around the 17th round my head cleared and later I knocked Herrera out. But I could not recall anything that happened in those 12 rounds." We'll have to leave it to far great er brain experts as to what hap pens when a fellow In a complete mental fog still can go along box ing and punching, or obeying sig nals, throwing passes and laterals, that usually demands the highest type of mental poise. ? ? ? Baseball Prospects In the midst of all the foot ball chatter, we were glad to stum ble into a covey of baseball people, including both managers and play ers. They were talking about the Yankees of 1947, and their chance to reach for the pennant after this year's sudden dip. One respected veteran had this to say?"Don't forget that in Larry MacPhail, Bucky Harris and Char ley Dressen, the Yankees have lead ership that can match anything in I either league. Smart, able, keen to move back up. And don't forget the Yankees still have a number of One 1 ball players who are sure to im prove over their 1948 form, which developed one of the most remark able team batting slumps 1 ever saw." This is true. MacPhail, Harris and Dressen know what K is all about. And sneb former good hitters as Stirnweiss, Rixsuto, Joe DiMaggio, Henrich and one or two others should be a good many points closer to ,3M than they were this last faU. "Few people realise," MacPhail said, "that our pitching staff al lowed fewer earned runs than any team in either league, barring only the Cardinals. We had good enough pitching, sad we'll have much bet ter pitching next year." The Yankees, with Aaron Robert son and some new talent, may have the best catching staff in the league. An infield that comprises Henrich at first, Stirnweiss at second, Riz zuto at short and Young Brown at third can return to its old form. So can DiMaggio and Charlie Cal ler.
