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.

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.

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.

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.
Washington State won the north
ern division title of the Pacific
Cnaitf rnnfprpnpp hv ninkintr Wash
ington, 7 to 0, and along with
Southern California remained ir
the running for the right to play
Alabama in the Rose Bowl. 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. Yale came from behind tc
nip Princeton, 20 to 14, and car
win the Big Three laurels by beat
ing Harvard this week.
Minnesota, after a promising
start, finished in the Western con
ference cellar, with Iowa, by los
in? to Wiflfnnein 9A.19 Dif!
ended a six-game losing streak bj
downing Penn State, 7-0. Notrt

‘HORSE OF YEAR’
TO BE DECIDED
IN SPORTS POLL
By SID FEDER
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—(iP)—It
is pretty generally agreed now that
the recent Pimlico prancing of
star pilot and Stymie just about
put the clincher on their turf
championship, thereby leaving
1945 with so many bargain horse
bosses it practically amounts to
an entire fire sale.
The pilot staked out his claim
to the top spot among the two
year-old colts by taking the Pim
lico futurity yesterday, and Stymie
moved in as head man ot the
handicappers after winning the
Riggs on the twin stake program.
They now join Beaugay and Bush
er, who already have locked up
their crowns, among the year’s
gallopers.
And all four of them — one of
whom will no doubt be tabbed
"horse of the year" in the turf
and sports digest poll now under
way — came off the bargain coun
ter in one way or another to
provide a fancy return-on-invest
ment for their owners.
As matters now stand, with the
Geegee’s eastern activities all but
washed up ar,d put in the closet
until spring, here is just how the
bargain sale went on the four glam
our gals and boys:
Title Horse Cost Winnings
2 Y-O Fillies-Beaugay $22,000 $105,910
2 Y-O Colts-Star Pilot 22,000 165,385

invitational golf tournament. They
will play it off tomorrow for top
prize of $2,000 in victory bonds.
McSpaden, pro from Sanford,
Me., and one of the top money
winners of the winter circuit, shot
a five-under-par 67 in the final
round of the 72-hole meet. Hogan,
who hails from Hershey, Pa. got
a 68.
This is the second consecutive
: tournament to end in a deadlock
[ Sam Byrd and Dutch Harrison
’ finished even in the recent Azalea
■ open at Mobile and Byrd won the
playoff.
K1CHMUMD, Va., MOV. ZO—(if)—
Fulfilling early season predictions,
Duke’s Blue Devils have annexed
another Southern Conference
championship by repeating 1944’s
record of four victories and no
osses in the 11-team collegiate
circuit.
The Blue Devils got past their
last obstacle Saturday when they
dropped a fighting bunch of North
Carolina Tar Heels 14-7.
The 14 points made against Caro
lina ran Duke’s total for the sea
son against Southern Conference
opponents to 126 points while they
yielded 39. Last year the Blue
Devils got 172 and gave up only
14. Against all opponents this sea
son Duke won six and lost to Army
and Navy.
A comparison of the scores in
three of the four wins in 1944 and
this season shows Duke in 1944 de
feated Wake Forest 34-0, South
Carolina 34-7, North Carolina 33-0
and University of Richmond 61 to
7. This season Duke did not play
Richmond but dropped South Caro
lina 60-0 in the opener, Wake For
est 26-19 and North Carolina State
26-13 in addition to defeating North
Carolina.
Besides the Blue Devils the only
other team to complete its schedule
so far against conference foes and
remain undefeated is Clemson.
The Tigers have a record of two
wins and one tie — a 0-0 affair
about the middle of the season with
South Carolina.
Clemson played a non-conference
foe Saturday at Atlanta, Ga., and
turned in a surprising 21-7 win over
a favored Georgia Tech team.
Clemson and Duke did not play
this year and the Tigers will con
clude their regular season De
cember 1, when they play Wak«
Forest at Clemson, S. C.
Another Southern Conference
team pulled an upset Saturday
against a non-loop foe when an
underdog University of Maryland
squad toppled a University of Vir
ginia team undefeated in 1'4 con
tests covering two seasons.
Don Gleasner’s pass reception ir
the last minute of the game ai
Washington was the deciding play
and ruined any chances Virginia
may have had of a bid to play in
one of the South’s Bowl games.
Remaining games scheduled for
Dec. 1 include North Carolina and
Virginia at Chapel Hill, N. C.,
Clemson and Wake Forest, and
South Carolina against Maryland
at Columbia, S. C. The Carolina
Virginia game is the only one of
the trio which is a non-loop affair.
Standing of the teams:

Duke _ 4 0 0 126 39
Clemson - 2 0 1 48 G
William-Mary - 4 2 0 123 49

NEW YORK, Nov. 25—(U.R) —
Green Bay’s Jackers forsook the
spectacular aerial scoring of Don
Hutson today and depended on the
steady line-plunging of Fullback
Ted Fritsch to carry them to a 23
to 14 victory over the New York
Giants.
The game, the first meeting ol
Green Bay and New York since
the Packers whipped the Giants in
the final playoff game last season,

out, and the winners did not estab

Wilmington Places Two
On N. C. Shrine Eleven
___ — -
By GENE WARREN
The choice of Kenneth Rogers
md John Hobbs, two of the best
Football players to ever don the
Drange and Black at New Hanover
High School, by the two gridders'
teammates in an election among
themselves is believed to be very
satisfactory to the local pigskin
Fans who have been faithful sup
porters of the Wildcat eleven this
season.
The only other city in the East
ern A Conference to place two of
their candidates on the North
Carolina All-Star eleven is Wilson.
The North Carolina squad will
clash with the South Carolina out
fit in the annual Shrine Bowl game
at Charlotte’ Municipal Stadium on
December 8.
Kenneth Rogers played in the
backfield of the ’Cats for the first
time this season, originally going
out for an end berth. Coach Leon
Brodgen recognized his ability as
a top notch runner, pass receiver,
and punter, and switched the lanky
lad immediately to tne lert nail
back slot in his version of the ‘T’
formation. Rogers paid dividends
for this chance, scoring touchdown
after touchdown from his new posi
tion, and punting consistently in
the pinches. He proved himself as
a fine runner also jaunting around
the ends for nice yardage at each
attempt. The tall senior, weigh
ing 163 pounds, is only 17 years
old, and starred for the local base
ball team last season as a pitch
er. He expects to be back on the
mound for the Wildcat, nine again
this spring.
There was not much doubt in
the eyes of the Wilmington fans
that big John Hobbs, co-captain
of the Wildcats, would receive
the honor of handling a tackle
post on the Shrine Bowl team since
he has been a first stringer for
three out of his four years at New
Hanover High School. He would
have probably played on the init
ial team his freshman year, if his
older brother, Dewey Hobbs, had
not been around. Dewey is now
holding down a first string tackle
position on the Wake Forest
eleven, the college which John in
tends to go to when he graduates.
Hobbs made All-Conference last
year, and may be chosen on the
All-State eleven this year. He tips
the scales at 210 pounds, but
charges with great power for his
weight.
With the choice of these two
boys for the Shrine Bowl squad,
the Charlotte committee has also
honored Wilmington by selecting
Leon Brodgen as an assistant
coach for the North Carolina team
to manage the best grinders in
the State.
Brogden has done a great job in
turning out a good pigskin crew
this year, taking the remnants of
an inexperienced ‘cats club, which
failed to score on any conference
opponent in 1944, and transiorm
ing It into a powerful football
eleven.
Starting with only three first
stringers and a group of Junior
Varsity stars, he instituted his T
to help the light, but shifty ’Cats
who were at a marked disadvan
tage with the single wingback for
mation that requires heavy boys,
to place their weight in their
favor. After experimenting with
Johnny Symmes, Hackshaw Tuttle,
and David Bannerman as ball
handler from the quarterback
post. Brodgen discovered 5 ft., 6
in., Jimmy Piner a reserve guard
on the ”44 team, and developed
him into a good signal caller. Pin
er will be a big help in next year's
team, because he is only a Junior
in High School.
Seniors who played their last
game Thursday are Chubby Paul,
Graham Barefoot, John Hobbs,
David Bannerman, Louis Sykes,
Kenneth Rogers, Johnny Symmes,
James Tuttle, and Durwood Or
rell.
