Army, Navy Play Saturday Before 100,000 X »» V - — ■ — The Sports Trail By WHITNEY MARTIN By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—(£>)—Ev ery pitcher thinks he can call balls and strikes better than the fel low who is getting paid for do ing it, so it’s only natural that occasionally a chucker will decide to prove it. , . , .. The latest taado something about this idea besffes think about it is Lon Warneke, the veteran hurler recently released by the Cubs. Warneke wants to be an umpire, which may be another way of say ing he wants to be alone, as an umpire is the man w'ho walks by himself during a season, shunned by everyone. There is no particular reason why Warneke would not make a good umpire, as other well-known pitchers have made the swnch, notably George Pipgras and Eddie Rommell. Warneke is a cuiet. un excitable sort of guy, and we have an idea the players and fanj could him all day and never even jft" him to switch his huge chaw If eating tobacco from one cheek to the other. It’s not the easiest job in the world, except, as has been re marked, for the hours. There are more little tricks to keeping a game going smoothly and avoid ing trouble than the average play er. or fan, realizes. Bill Klem, who is practically Mr. Umpire himself who now con fines his activities to supervising National League umpires, reveals gome of these secrets in his in itructions to his staff. The instruc tions cover just about every sit uation, ranging from how to deal with pugnacious players to what kind of chest protector to use. The tatter, in case you are interested, should be made of the finest curled hair, it being assumed the hair is curled by the language directed toward the arbiter Here are just a few of the ques tions Mr. Klem answers: After calling a player out, what should an umpire do? Should he glare at him in triumph, and mut ter: “Hah, Hah, got you that time?” No. says Mr. Klem. When con vient to do so always look away from the player. Also look away after calling a strike. When the players go into a hud dle while changing pitchers should the umpire horn in on it to get in his two-bit’s worth of advice? The umpire should stay far away from such a huddle, says Mr. Klem. Otherwise, he’s liable to get his ears burned by sarcastic remarks. If the umpire has had a rough a-iernoon the day before, should he ignore the players when he comes on the field or say; belli gerently: “all right, youse guys; want to make something of it?” Mr. Klem says that regardless of what happened yesterday, when he is going on the field through or close to the bench the umpire al ways should give the players the time of day by saying: “How are you, boys?”—and keep right on going. When a player talks fight, should the umpire promptly square off, and maybe kick the player in the shins to get some action? If a player talk fight, says Mr. Klem, just say: “Are you a fight er too? I thought you were a ball player.” That’ll hold ’em. That’s just the Emily Post part of the job. If Warneke wants to continue the course he can start practicing by calling strikes in a bowling alley. Eagles, Washington Tie For Eastern Leadership ___* -J - Eddie Cameron Makes Statement For Duke DURHAM, Nov. 25. — (£>)— Eddie Cameron, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils, said in a formal statement today that the southern Conference football champions would hot play in a New Year’s day bowl game be cause of a heavy academic schedule facing many of the players. Cameron’s statement, issued by the Duke University news service, said: “Duke university has not re ceived an invitation to any bowl. Our season is ended. Even if we had been approached, which we were not, we could not have considered it because of the heavy scholastic schedule facing several of our players.” Coach Cameron’s denial that Duke had been invited to play in a post season game was the second he had made within 24 hours. The first came last night when a wire association story quoted unnamed Duke officials that the Blue Devils had re ceived bids to both the 'Sugar and Cotton bowls. Cameron branded that statement as false and his statement today ended all speculation. PANAMA VS CUBA HAVANA, Nov. 25—{IP)—Hakin Barrows, 146, Panama’s welter weight champion, outpointed Cuban Bany Coullimber, 145, Havana, in a 10-round bout at the Sports Pal ace Saturday night. A snake does not coil, but drops its body in loops, as if coiled, its head would spin like a top in at tempting to strike. Sante Fe, N. M., oldest capital in the United States, is known as “the ancient city.” PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25. — (U.PJ —The passing artistry of Roy Zim merman and the breakaway run ning of Steve Van Bueren carried the Philadelphia Eagles to a 16 to 0 victory over the Washington Red skins today, sending the two teams into a tie for Eastern division leadership in the National football league. Zimmerman passed for two touchdowns, placekicked his fourth field goal of the league season, and came through with a timely inter ception to beat back Washington’s attempt to sew up the Eastern race before 37,306 Philadelphia fans. Steele counted the first touch down of the game, 59 seconds be fore the first half ended. Van Buer. en left a wake of tacklers behind him when he streaked 25 yards in the third period after taking a pass from Zimmerman. Then in the fourth period, Zimmerman clinch ed the ball game with a 15-yard place kick. The Eagle victory tends the teams into their final two games with identical won and lost rec ords. Philadelphia still must play New York and Boston, while the Red Skins face Pittsburg and New York. A forward and lateral following an interception by Larry Cabrelli of a pass by Sammy Baugh closed the first half with a bang after the teams feinted through a cautious first period. Washington had the ball on their own 14 on an out-of-bounds kick by Zimmerman with two minutes and 17 seconds left. Baugh passed out on the flat where Cabrelli inter cepted and lateraled to Baptiste Manzini who went to the 16. Zimmerman was smeared for an eight-yard loss on the first run ning play, but Ernie Steele, form er Washington University star, got six back and Russ Dye made a touchdown save on a pass to Rack Ferrante in the end zone. ■ ? i SERVICE SCHOOLS BATTLE SATURI Y AT PHILADELPHIA Pres. Truman To Attend Meeting Between. Un beaten Grid_Machines By TED MEIER NEW YORK, Nov. 25—(5*)—The game every football fan has looked forward to all season Army vs Navy—is on tap this week as the 1945 grid season passes into mem ory. More than 100,000 will jam Muni cipal stadium in Philadelphia on Saturday to watch this first peace time renewal of the nation s serv ice classic, a traditional affair that this year pits two undefeated teams against each other with the mythical national championship at stake. The meeting between Army’s terrific Cadets, unbeaten and un tied in 17 straight games, and Navy’s unbeaten but tied, aggrega tion has aroused such tremendous interest that President Truman has announced he intends to be on hand. This automatically will bring out cabinet members, most of Washington’s diplomatic corps and all hich rankina admirals and generals. Army, sparked by All-Americans Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard, and the Middies, who have im proved steadily since the season opened, were idle yesterday as most of the country’s conference and sectional championships were decided. Unbeaten, but tied, Indiana cap tured its first western conference title in history by ripping Purdue for four second-half touchdowns and a 26-to-0 triumph. Michigan took second place by scoring a la$t period touchdown to defeat Ohio State, 7-3. Pennsylvania bounced back from its Army defeat to wallop its tradi tional rival, Cornell, 59 to 6, to win Ivy League honors while Duke, reported to be in line for a Bowl bid, retained the Southern Con ference title by beating North Carolina, 14-7. Missouri took the Big Six crown by bowling over Kansas, 33 to 12, while the Oklahoma Aggies, who previously had captured the Mis souri Valley title, kept its unbeaten and untied record clean by swamp, ing Oklahoma, 47-0. The Aggies probably will get a Bowl bid. Unbeaten and untied Alabama, southeastern conference champion and already picked for the Rose Bowl, rolled over Pensacola Navy, 55-6, while Texas took over first place in the southwest as Texas Christian upset Rice, 14-13. Texas can clinch the title by beating the Texas Aggies on Thursday.

The Trojans trounced Oregon State, 34 7, as California eliminated UCLA in an upset, 6-0. Saturday’s UCLA USC game will decide. If USC wins or ties, the Trojans will gain the Rose Bowl spot. A UCLA vic tory will give the honor to Wash ington State. New Mexico, beaten only by Utah, was held to a 6-6 tie by Texas Tech, but after the game accepted a bid to play in the Sur Bowl. Denver, which won the Big Seven conference by whipping Colorado on Thanksgiving, may be invited to a bowl, too. Saturday was not without its up sets. The most notable, in addi tion to those of TCU over Rice anc California over UCLA, were Mary land’s 19 to 13 triumph over Vir ginia, Mississippi’s 7 to 6 victory over Mississippi State, Clemson’s 21 to 7 verdict over Georgia Teel and Lafayette’s 7 to 0 decision ove; Lehigh. The defeat ended Vir ginia’s 15-game unbeaten streak. Columbia, whipped only by Penr crushed Dartmouth, 21 ^o 0 to wine up one of its most successful sea sons.
