The Sports Trail By WHITNEY MARTIN - --I By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—(A1)—For a [ usually dull period in the sports parade the past week has provided enough items of varied interest tc make up a well-balanced news' paper. Tragedy, comedy, human in, terest and even such feature page material as crossword puzzle page shared the space in turn. Some oj the highlights were: TRAGEDY Jockey George “The Iceman” Woolf, leading money winner in 1944 and one of the greatest stake riders, fatally injured in a routine allowance race at Santa Anita. Ironically, Woolf is reported to have been well fixed financially and planning to retire before long. DRAMA Miami and Holy Cross were tiec 6-6, in the last seconds of thi Orange Bowl football game a Miami. Spectators already weri edging toward the exits comment ing on the apparent first deadlocl in the bowl’s history. Suddenly i Holy Cross back threw a pass. I bounded from the fingers of i teammate into the arms of Miami’i fastest man A1 Hudson, who sprint ed 89 yards for tile winning touch down. HUMAN INTEREST One of the ablest and most colorful pitchers in the Major league was unconditionally re leased as the Chicago Cubs turned loose Paul Derringer, a veteran of 19 years of profes sional baseball. The 38-year-old • derringer, who completed in four world series with three different clubs and whose sea sons’ won and lost records touched both the heights and the depths, probably will be picked up by some team that needs his steadiness and mound wisdom to round out a younger staff. He still can pitch plenty of baseball on occasion. CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Carroll Widdoes, Ohio State foot ball coach voted the coach of the year in 1943, voluntarily switches places with his assitant, Paul Bix ler, in a move unparalelled in coaching annals. It was Widdoes’ choice, and if he can be happier in a subordinate role he is to be admired for his decision. Not everyone will sacrifice position for mental peace. TREND OF THE TIMES Tony Cuccinello, third base man who missed out on the . American League battng cham pionship last year by a single point, is unconditionally releas ed by the Chicago White Sox, , another sign of the inroads re conversion is making in the ranks of Major League clubs. Last year’s aces are this year's discards in the new real. COMEDY More than 18,000 spectators were ! jammed into Madison Square Gar i den for a basketball doubleheader. , Westminister college held a fat lead , over woefully weak St. Francis in the waning minutes and the West minister coach started to sweep substitutes from the bench onto the playing floor. He signaled a tall, eager youth, who began to yank off his sweat suit. A team mate sitting beside him suddently grabbed the trousers and yanked them up. The kid had forgotten an important part of his uniform—his pants. P. S.—It had a happy ending. He made a quick trip to the locker room and returned suit ably clad in time to get in the game. __ All-America Loop Raids National Grid Players _—— By WALTER BYERS United Press Sports Writer CHICAGO, Jan. 6—Professional football’s first major "player showdown” jelled today when the new all-America football confer ence laid claim to approximately 200 national football league play ers. Dan Topping, of New York, who bolted the National league to join the A. A. C., giving the new con ference the use of Yankee stadium next fall, announced today he had signed 35 players for the ’46 sea son and had pooled 200 of his for mer Brooklyn players among the all-America clubs. Topping emerged from the final session of the all-America's three day meeting as the most powerful single figure in the new lp gue, which is scheduled to take its place alongside the N. F. L., nex i fall as pro football’s second ma jor league. If Topping’s claim to the play ers holds up, it marks the second time the New York tin-plate king has given the A. A. C., a needed shot in the arm. ^ I Over the protests of the N. F. L., Tipping said the 200 players on 1 the reserve list of the now defunct ; N. F. L. Brooklyn team belong to him “and there is nothing the National league can do about it. Topping took the top 15, which he said are signed to personal service contracts, gave Los An geles’ undermanned entry 22 others and passed the remaining 163 to the other six all-America teams. Commissioner Elmer Lay den, o* the National league, ruled that Topping’s reserve list reverted to the N. F. L. when he jumped to the all-America and awarded the players to the Boston National League team. Among the top players on the list are end Bern Currivan, guard Tony Leon, tackle George Sergienkc and end Enrico Uguccioni. •p General Manager Tom Gallery ..of Topping’s New York team an nounced he had received signed contracts today from six players, Frank (Bruiser) Kinard, six-year Brooklyn tackle and former all National league choice; his broth er, George Kinard, ex-Mississippi — star; Nate Johnson, Illinois tackle; —-“Harvey Johnson, William & Mary — fullback; James Thiebegut, Tulane Hr fullback, and Uguccioni. The eight-club owners also held — “a secret draft from a list to ap proximately 300 college and serv ' ice-team names. Each club select ---- ed 20 players. — “Their names will not be an HH nounced,” Commissioner James 5- H. Crowley said. “The National league always hag publicized its draft lists, often embarrassing the players. We hope to stop that prao tice.” Topping’s pooling of his reserve list brought peace to a stormy session. There were numerous : protests when Crowley ruled ear lier that Topping would be allowed to select one player from each , of the other team’s reserve lists after each owner withheld the names of three players. It was the final payoff on the $75,000 deal which lured Topping into the all-America. The seven players New York .gained on the free pick were not announced.

DUKE BLUE DEVILS TAKE THREE GAMES By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Duke’s three victories in as manj nights—all of them at the expense of southern conference opponents— was a highlight of the North Caro lina basketball picture during th< past week. Beginning Thursday night the Blue Devils dropped South Caro lina, 52-35; Davidson, 55-27; and Maryland, 59-27. The three wins brought their season’s record to five wins and two losses, second only to North Carolina among the state’s “Big Five,” and lifted their conference record to four victories without a single loss. North Carolina, defending confer ence champion, took it compara tively easy during the week, meet ing—and defeating—only one foe, the Airborne Center of Fort Bragg. The soldier quintet was downed Saturday night, 65-33. Davidson, back in action after the Christmas holidays, won one and lost one during the week tc maintain their .500 average for the season. The Wildcats are the only other one of the other Big Five quintets with as much as ar even break for the season thus far. N. C.

City’s Bid For Softball Tourney Fails Woolf Died In Fall From Fateful Saddle | Given Him By Rider Of Ill-Fated Phar Lap , _ ■ . 1 By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor George Woolf fell to his death from a fateful saddle which he con sidered his good-luck charm. When he rode Whirlaway for the first time, Ben Jones asked The Iceman if he couldn’t afford a better saddle. “Certainly,” replied the Canad ian-born Woolf, “but I wouldn’t trade this one for Whirlaway.” Plain Ben Jones reminded him that Mr. Long Tail had won a half million dollars. “Yeah,” said Woolf, “but this saddle has won more than a mil lion.” It was the dilapidated old kangaroo-leather saddle that was strapped on the ill - fated Phar Lap’s back the early March after noon of 1932 on which the Aus tralian champion made a show of his field bagging the $100,000 Agua Caliente Handicap. Phar Lap died on food poisoning con tracted while grazing Shortly after • his only appearance out side of his native land. The saddle was given Woolf, then just coming along, by Billy Elliott, the Australian jockey who rode Phar Lap. Woolf was bom in 1909 at Cards ton, Canada. While he rode his first winner on a recognized track at Ti juana in 1928, he rode his first race at the ripe age of six, tied on the back of a quarter-horse. Under contract at 15, he was traded to Lemuel T. Whitehill for "a horse and other consider ations.” It war almost a bad trade on both sides. The horse promptly died, and when Whitehill decided to go to Tijuana, young Woolf decided he didn’t want to become a jockey. Mrs. Whitehill coaxed him into sticking with the stable. Since he arrived as a jockey, Woolf has been one of the com paratively few riders who steered clear of contracts except for in dividual races. That gave him a Georgie Woolf better choice of mounts. For ex ample, it was because he was free that he had the leg up on Pavot, winner of the rich Belmont. Fu turity and unbeaten in eight starts as a 2-year-old in 1944. He would, however, always do a friend a favor and ride his horse in a cheap claimer if the owner or trainer felt that Georgie’s presence in the saddle might help him win a needed purse. This is probably what he was doing when the end came. It was not temperament that caused Woolf to be discriminating in his mounts, dislike morning work and remain a free agent. He suffered for some years from a diabetic condition which kept him from serving with the armed forces. For his health, he had to be choosy. This was to have been his last This was to have Been ms ' year. He was independently i wealthy and for some years owned ! a tavern at Arcadia, hard by Santa Anita, to which he intended to re tire. ' \ Woolf was known as The Ice man because of cool-headedness when it came to race-riding, al though he revealed a hot temper on occasion. He had such com plete control of his nerves that he slept in the jockeys' room through preliminary races while waiting to ride an important event. While Jiis winning percentage of 19 over a period of 19 years is not especially notable, he stepped 'way up in the big ones, rated with Eddie Arcaro as a money rider. In all his mounts won $2,856,125. When jockeys were betting on a horse in a race in which they were not riding, they unhesitatingly picked Woolf to do the riding when he was free. Woolf was a plainsman at heart, rode in morning workouts with a sombrero on his head. Woolf rode most of the big-name horses of recent years— Seabiscuit, Kayak II, Challedon, Whirlaway, Alsab and By Jimminy among them—called the ’Biscuit the best of the lot. He beat a tattoo on the slow nthemftheol.toETAOIN cmfwyp e starting son of Hard Tack to get the jump on the quick - starting War Admiral In the match race that was the second Pimlico Spe cial in November of 1938. Among his many riding attributes was the fact that he was a superior whip rider, yet he was always consid erate of the horse. Woolf was a quiet, unassuming, decent chap, modest about his superlative ability. "Good horses make good jock eys,” he said. Others, however, frequently felt that Georgie Woolf was "the best horse.” SNEAD, FERRIER IN TIE AT L A. LOS ANGELES, Jan. «.—(£>>— Battling high winds that saw scores generally mount Sam Snead, de fending champion, and Jim Fer rier, Chicago, were tied for tem porary leadership of the 72-hole Los Angeles open golf tournament today with three round totals of 214. Slammin* Sam , from Hot Springs, Va., and Ferrier both carded 73’s on the par 35-36—71 Riviera course. Snead had a 36-37 and Ferrier a 37-36. It was con sidered fair shooting in view of winds that swooped down the canyon in which the course is laid out. Snead actually should have been the lone leader of the field when he turned in his score. He had been credited with a 72 by the of ficial scorer. When the long hit ting Virginian reported his round score, he volunteered the fact he had touched his ball with his club on the ninth green. The scorer had not noticed the violation. Snead was the tournament leader after the first round. He relin quished the spot to tournament favorite Byron Nelson yesterday and the latter, with a par 35 for the first nine today indicated he would be setting the pace again when all the third round scores had been tacked up. However, the back nine of Rivi era, closer to the ocean and the i wind, was playing considerably tougher than the outgoing stretch. The best comeback among the early starters was provided by Harold McSpaden of Sanford, Me., who practically blew himself out of competition with a first nine 41, six over par. His two-over par 7 on the first hole resulted from a tee shot out of bounds and he muffed the second hole, going one over par. On the difficult back nine, how ever, he played like a master, chalking up a two-under-par 34 for a round of 75 and 54-hole total of 218. He drove the green on the 315-yard tenth, getting a birdie 3, and posted a birdie 4 on the 569 yard eleventh. Hagan,"Phillies Secretary Dies PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.— Little Jimmy Hagan, the Phila delphia Phillies’ road secretary for 30 years died today at Temple University hospital after a long ill ness. He was 58. Haean—his full name was James JoVeph-was a native Philadelph ian. He joined the Phillies as an of fice boy in 1903. Previously he was a copy boy in the sports depart ment of the Old Evening Telegraph. During his 43 years with the Phils Hagan served the team in every official capacity save that of manager or president. For a couple of winters he toured in Vaudeville as half the blackface team of Hogan and Hagan and he later employed many of his stage jokes to cheer the nearly-always downtrodden Phils.
