SPORTS ROUNDUP BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR. NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—(fP)—There must be some com pelling reason when boys go out on a raw November after noon without enough clothes to keep warm and run five or six miles c*/er a hilly cross-country course . . . and know ing that a couple hundred young men did just that in the Big Ten meet at Chicago today and as many more will run Monday in the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. meet here, this department sought a sound explanation . . . The answer from Pete Waters, Manhattan college track coach is: “It’s the best conditioner in the world. When boys run cross country in the fall, they’re really in shape. Those milers you see in the Garden during the winter prove it.” . . . Why is it better tnan run ning on a track? . . . “Well, the hills help, but mostly it’s because the change of scenery peps them up. Running around in a squirrel cage gets pretty tiresome after a few laps.” . . . Come to think of it, we once heard Les Mac Mitchell, who never became a great miler until after he had run cross country a few sea sons, say he used to take 15 mile jaunts just for the pleas ure of running. IT CAN HAPPEN Ever hear of a forward pass catching the receiver instead of vice versa? . . . Well, it happen ed in a schoolboy game at Wash ington, D. C., between Western ana DeVitt the other day . . . Half back Dukee O’Counell of Western pitched a pass . . . the ball hit Quarterback Alex Papanicolas on the back of the neck and stuck between his helmet and shoulder pad . . . Rap ran 15 yards before he realized what had happened and then he reached around and grabbed the ball, making a 20-yard gain.

Boston college was slow to get under way, its scoring being limit ed to a mere safety in the first period. But once it warmed up there was no holding the awesome Eagles as they rolled up 440 yards on the ground and 155 more in the air while limiting Fordham to a scant 26 yards by rushing and 109 by passing. It was the worst licking the Rams have taken in almost three decades. In fact it was way back in 1913 that Fordham was really humbled, losing 6-4, to Holy Cross and, 69-0, tc Princeton. Fordham's only consolation came in the closing minutes when Har ry Squatrito, a Ram reserve back, faded to the Boston college 40 and tossed a looping pass ot Frank Malinowski, an end spare, who gathered it in on Boston’s 25 and raced the rest of the distance. __ _"IT Davis And All-Stars Plan Six Man Game An all-star team, picked from the six-man football league organ ized here this fall by the Phalanx, Alpha Omega and Sans Faute fra ternities will meet a six man team from Camp Davis here next Sun da.' afternoon. The six-man style of football, or ganized in the middle west some years ago to allow small schools whose enrollment did not provide material for regular squads to par ticipate in the game. The rules of the garhe are sim ilar to those of college football ex cept that instead of tackling the runner, a member of the opposing team must tag him with both hands simultaneously. The teams must also go 15 yards for a first down instead of 10. A first, second and third team were elected by members of the league for the game with Davis. Composing the first team are: Ends Tom Davis and Vennon Hayes; Center Cliff Mclvar; and Backs Alex Baken, Bob Boyd and “Tanky” Meier. “Shine” Moore of the Alpha Omega fraternity was elected coach of the all-star team. -V A carload of fresh oranges, or 500 boxes, is reduced to 200 one gallon cans, in making orange juice. _ FISHING TACKLE SPORTING GOODS VICTOR?

Duke blocked a punt for a touch down in the first period, and North Carolina evened things at 7-7 in the second. There were no scores in the third, but the fourth started with Duke on the Tar Heel 10, first and goal to go. STATISTICS: ULhli JN. U.

Alter tne Kicnort Carolina took to the air, and Bob Nanni inter cepted a pass from Johnny Pecora on the Tar Heel 25. A penalty set Duke back and Gantt tried a field goal from the 35 It failed. From the 20 Billy Myers, Caro lina’s soph standout, passed to Joe Austin for 3S yards. Myers passed to Hussey for 12 to the Duke 27 and again to Hussey on the nine. The Myers - Hussey combination clicked again for a touchdown this time. Myers’ place kick try was wide. Then Duke took to the air, but Clay Croom intercepted an aerial and ran 37 to the Blue Devil 11. The Tar Heel passing game failed when needed most as Davis inter cepted a Myers pass on the eight to end the threat. It was the 28th game in the Duke-Carolina rivalry, one of the South’s lustiest. As usual the two teams played before the largest crowd of the season for Tar Heelia. North Carolina got in a hole at the start when the kickoff went over the goal and was put in play on its 20. Fighting desperately, the Tar Heels managed to stop two Duke drives on the 24. Unable to score the hard way, the Blue Devils tried an easier method. 'When Mike Cooke, back to kick on his 16, got a bad pass from center. Bob Nanni, Duke right tackle, rushed in and block ed the punt. The ball rolled to ward the Tar Heel goal, and Tom Burns scooped it up on the five and ran across for the score. Gantt’s place kick was true. After staving off another Duke drive on their 28, the Tar Hels went to work. Johnny Pecora, who has been out most of the season with injuries, ran 18 to the Duke 42. North Carolina had to kick, but Bobby Rute was downed on his 16 in returning the punt. Pe cora passed to Austin for 31 yards to the Duke 10, and then John Tandy on an end around crossed the goal standing. Duke staged another drive in the third.

Nov. 14— Ijt—Paced by the brilliant running and punting of Monk Gafford. the Auburn Tigers pulled one of the year’s most stunning upsets today in a 25 to 7 victory over Louisiana State before 8,000 fans. The often - beaten victors scored in every period and dominated the contest throughout, except for one brief lapse when Alvin Dark passed his teammates to their single score, mid-way of the third period. Gafford, after a fine exhibition in the first half while his mates were gaining a 12-0 lead, gave LSU the real knockout punch in the third period with a 60-yard run for a touchdown. A few minutes later, he ended an LSU threat by inter cepting Dark’s pass on his 20 and threading his way through several LSU players in sparkling 44-yard dash. Auburn’s first touchdown re sulted with Jim Reynolds smash ing across from the 13. -V Georgia Navy Fliers Defeat Green Wave 7-0 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14 — — Georgia’s Pre-Flighters outplayed and beat Tulane 7 to 0 today be fore 18.000 fans, the lone counter coming in the second immediately after Don Hightower’s 75-yard kick runback for the victors had been officially discounted because he stepped out at midfield. The Skyer ackers evened up their loss at Louisiana State a month ago when Darrell Tully, former East Texas State star, split the running duties with Frank Filch ock, formerly of Indiana, in the touchdown drive. Tully scored from the one foot line. Sinkwich & Co. Spank Chattanooga By 40Points CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 14. — WP) — The fleet - footed Frankie Sinkwich led the un defeated - untied Georgia foot ball team to a 40 to 0 victory over the University of Chatta nooga today in a game which wasn’t as one-sided as the score might indicate. Fireball Frankie and some 40 mates taught the scrapping Moccasins a lesson in how to play football, but the outmanned iChattanoogpns took their lesson 'the hard way, fighting every inch of the route. Sinkwich added luster to his name and plenty distance to his otal gains as he picked up 140 yards by rushing, passed for another 66, and personally ac counted for three of the Bull dogs’ six touchdowns. He buck ed over for two of the scores and passed to Van Davis for the third. Georgia opening up with a sustained drive from the open ing kickoff with Sinkwich pass ing eight yards to Van Davis for the first marker four min utes after the game started. The Bulldogs scored twice within the first three minutes of the second period. A 70-yard march carried the ball down to tho Chattanooga four where Sinkwich was halted three times for no gain before he bulled it over. ^ A pass interception by Georgia on the Moccasin 16 set up the third score with Chariey Trippi chasing around right end to the goal. Again in the third period, a 65-yard march put the ball in scoring position from where Sinkwich bucked over. Mteutes later, Freshman Sonny Lloyd plunged over from the one for the fifth score, set up bv Tnppi’g 25-yard pass to Lamar Davis. • i MAKES THE MOST OF UNC FUMBLE A blocked Tar Heel punt on the Carolina 16 yard line yesterday gave the Blue Devils’ Toni Burns an opportunity to come out of the comparative obscurity of the line and into the spotlight reserved for the boys of the backfieid. Burns scooped up the rolling pigskin on the five and took it over into paydirt for a touchdown as the two teams battled to a 13-13 tie in the traditional Southern conference climax in Kenan stadium at Chapel Hill. Castleberry Paces Tech In 7-0 Defeat Of 'Bama Sensational Freshman Spearheads 88-Yard En gineer Drive For Score ATLANTA, Nov. 14——A pix ilated freshman halfback left over from Friday, the 13th—slender 150 pound Clint Castleberry — put a two - minute hex on Alabama’s great football team today, and Georgia Tech won a 7-0 decision before 34,000 fans to remain one of the nation’s unbeaten, untied football powers. Castleberry, dumped into the game midway of the first period, ran back an Alabama punt 27 yards to his own 39 to start the winning touchdown drive. When a line buck was smothered, he skit tered around left end for 21 yards to Alabama’s 40. Then Pat McHugh whipped a pass to Castleberry for another first down on 'Bama’s 9. From there it was straight football. Cas tleberry reeled off tackle for three and Ralph Plaster flung himself twice over center to score in a headlong plunge. Rabbit Jordan, substitute end, place-kicked the ex tra point. The victory sustained Tech’s ranking as the nation’s No. 2 team, and paved the way for a possible national championship game when Tech meets unbeaten, untied Geor gia Nov. 28. Except for Tech’s brief, lethal drive, neither team was able to reach the payoff zone. ’Bama missed a chance to tie the score just before halftime, when Russ Mosley faked a pass and galloped 16 yards for an ap parent touchdown. The play was called back for an Alabama off side penalty, and although Mosley completed a 15-yarder to Tech’s 6, the ball changed hands on downs. Earlier the Tide had rolled to Tech’s five, only to lose the ball on downs. Part of the story was told by statistics. Alabama gained 187 yards rushing against Tech’s 171, picked up 33 yards passing to 62 by the Engineers. Each team dis played superior pass-defense, hold ing each other to identical com pletions—4 out of 13. Tech inter cepted twice, Alabama once. Tech shaded ’Bama in first downs, 11 to 10, gaining seven on the ground and three by air. All the Tide firstdowns were by rushing. It was the first time since 1927 that Alabama has lost to both Tech and Georgia in the same sea son. -V RIVERLAND OUTRUN BOWIE, Md., Nov. 14 — UR — Louisiana Farm’s Riverland, turf sensation after his upset defeats jf Whirlaway and Alsab, wound jp next to last in the Thomas E.
