HOW BIG a part does "instinct"
play in sport? 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.

If the attic ceiling is not plas

in the roof, for daylight will show
through. Remember, too, that
even a brand new roof sometimes
develops a leak, due to faulty lay

Need new drapes? Don't buy
them ready made and don't spend
hours hemming them, either.
Here's the simDle wav. Take a
length of material and two drapery
rings. Make sure the fabric is long
enough to reach the floor on either
side. Tack up the rings, slip the
material through them, leaving a
drape on top for the swag effect.
Smart draperies in Ave minutes
and with a minimum of effort!

If you wipe spots off the floor as
they appear, it will not be neces
sary to wash the entire floor so
often.

Use cuffs from men's old shirts
for making shoulder pads. They're
very nice for wash frocks, giving
the necessary build-up, without too
much bulge.
