puke And Deacons Place Six On All-Southern Squad fcpORTS TRAIL ^Rv WHITNEY MARTIN .JJ YORK. Dec. 3.- (ff> -Now bonder Haegg is corning to lkat G„,try on sort of a lend-lease give indoor tracks the run t3i‘S / there is some speculation ^bow the lanky Swede will do (! !°e boards. or.'11 ... his success outdoors. Answer seems to be he will f, right, if he can master one 00 ■:'! Tbat is, if he can negoti i£tal;he turns without going over t'e D 0f the banked track and ’,°g front door, or getting his «ut_ involved with one another fills flat on his face. K Hpp«rt's favor are his ack f.jfed speed and endurance, I0''* I other very important fac >EdHp's a bounder, and that de tor'. .;„n has nothing to do with ffcersonal habits. It means he ^13 fee cleanly instead (driving down into the boards. 1 boards are something of a tak 1 nit place as he floats along. Wn„rTom Paprocki, or ■'Pap,” Twas quite a runner himself in his day and who now follows the sport close enough to rate the title expert,” said he checked or Haegg s style when the Swede was here a couple of years ago. He ex amined the marks left by Haegg’s spikes on the cinders, and founc the holes clear and clean, and no torn and ragged as would be th( spike trail of most runners. This quick, clean pickup of the fee; would be much in Haegg’s favoi on the boards. To his disadvantage indoors would be his long, looping stride He will have to learn to shorter the stride on the turns if he doesn t want to lose valuable yard age by running wide. An experi enced indoir track man can use the bank of the turn to gam mo mentum. He knows how to lean, how to hug the rail. Gil Dodds, who, along with Jim Rafferty, looms right now as Haegg’s only competition, also has a long stride, and it also took him quite a while to master the art of indoor running.

It was Coach Joe Maniaci’s 17th consecutive victory as mentor of the ex-professionals and former college players, and kept intact his record of never coaching a loser. Bainbridge started its uninter rupted victory string with a 9-0 win over Camp Lejeune in 1943 and roared through six more games that season and 10 straight this year with only occasionally serious opposition. Maxwell Field today was one of the exceptions. Helped by a boggy field that cut into the Commo dores’ efficiency, the Alabama Flyers tied up Bainbridge for two periods and took a 3-0 lead in the third on a perfect field goal boot ed from 11 yards out by Joe Stringfellow. A Bainbridge 54-yard offensive spearheaded by Harry (Hippety) Hopp and Charley Justice bogged down on Maxwell Field’s 29 after the succeeding kickoff, and Hopp punted into the end zone. Maxwell Field failed to go and a punt by Clement to Bainbridge’s 32 set the stage for Hopp’s 58 yard touchdown canter early in the fourth period. It was Bainbridge’s second win of the year over Maxwell Field, the Commodores having turned the trick 15-7 at Montgomery, Ala., several weeks ago. _ Increase Predicted In Pilot Membership After The Wear's End PINEHURST, Dec. 3. — UP — Two score members of the Sports man Pilots Association today at tended the fall meeting at the Caro lina hotel, and leaders of the group expressed the opinion there would be a vast increase in membership, at the war’s end.

But despite his fine perform ance, which overshadowed the ef fort; of Charlie Trippi, ace of lie Gremlins, the former Minnesota and Michigan all-American almost threw the game away in the final six minutes when he fumbled on the six yard stripe and set the stage for the Gremlins touch down, a bullet pass from Trippi to Ted Cook. Guard Bop Ivory was the alert Grem who fell on the ball. It was the bruising Navy line that won the ball game and, ex cept for their one scoring oppor tunity, the Gremlins never had a chance. They neotiated exactly 58 yards through the Amphib Jine, and made 36 yards through the air, by far their poorest perform ance of the season. Capt. Quinn Decker, head coach of the Gremlins said after the game that his team had no ex cuses. “They were just too tough for us,” he said. “Daley is a fine ball player and a great competitor, and that Fort Pierce line is one of the best I have seen. I believe the Fort Pierce team is stronger than Great Lakes, one of the teams that licked us, but I don’t think they are quite as powerful as Randolph Field, our other conqueror.” -V Randolph Flyers, Second Air Force In Treasury Bowl NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-UP)-Ran dolph Field’s unbeaten fliers and the highly rated Second Air Force Superbombers will play in a Treas ury bowl football game in New York City’s Polo grounds Satur day, December 16, Treasury offi cials announced today.

So the brand you pick njeans a lot. During the past 43 years, Hanes has applied fine craftsman ship to the knitting and tailoring of under wear that fits properly and gives you full value in wear at moderate prices. • Look for the familiar Hanes label when you buy — sign of the underwear that has made friends with millions of men.
