Minisi-Navy’s Minute Man By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeaturei Sports Writer ANNAPOLIS. Md.—Navy's foot ball roster lists 17 backs but the unsung hero of this array is An thony S. <8kippy> Minisi, a 19 year-old 185-pound left hander from Newark, N. J. Had it not been for Minisi, Navy most certainly would have suffered a 12-6 setback at the hands of Notre Dame and would have had to settle for a 7-7 tie with previously unbeaten Penn. But as it turned out. Navy beat Penn, 14-7. and held Notre Dame to a 6-6 deadlock. Minisi was the key figure in both of these games and the Mid die coaches are beginning to feel that they regarded him lightly rh»n thav mad* him a third stringer at the start of the season. Skippv now is first reserve for Bob Kelly. Navy's starting right half via Notre Dame. Against Notre Dame. Minisi made a sensational goal-line tack le when he grabbed Phil Colella in midair and tossed him out of bounds one foot from touchdown territory. This occurred in the last 30 seconds. It was a disputed play until motion pictures were shown. Co lella s feet wound up in the end rone but the ball never reached the payoff line. This was because Minisi tackled volells the only way possible to avoid a score. He climbed aboard Colella's neck and brought him down much in the same manner a cowboy would wrestle a steer to the ground. The previous week against Penn. Minisi. who last year starred for ; Penn with his forward passing, decided the issue in the last 25 second*. Bob Hoemschemeyer. In diana star of 43 and '44, tossed a 22-.vard pass and Minisi sped into the end zone to nab it as three Pennsylvanians made futile lunges at the pigskin. We have one play for Minisi," Said Coach Oscar Hagberg at the start of the season, "but we don't intend to use it." The play calls for Minisi to make a southpaw forward pass. Hagberg hasn't used the play but he certainly has mad* good use of Minisi who last year scored 48 points for Penn. Army coaches are beginning to wonder about Minisi. The Newark lad who didn't wind up at Notre Dame, as many Jerseyites do. is certainly leading a charmed life on the football field. He's Navy's minute-man, or rather a Johnny on-the-spot in the closing seconds of a close ball game.

PAUL BRIDGES Doolor SHELBY, N. C. Hunters Stress Hounds, Not Fancy Frocks By WILL GRIMSLEY PARIS, TENN., Nov. 13 — (#)— "Yoicks,” “Tallyho” and the fan cy froAs are almost entirely gone from the American fox hunting scene. In their stead is a rough, raw American informality. The field trials of the National Foxhunters association entering the second day near here, Is de void of the nomp and pageantry that marks English hunting and once influenced our own. Millionaire oil men and planta tion owners rub elbows with far mers and share a love for the hounds. Hundreds of hunters are here, but you can count the red coats on both hands and only then be cause they are in the regulation attire of the judges. You seldom hear a horn and if you yelled "yoicks” or "tallyho”, chances are you’d get shot as an enemy agent. They don’t yello “tallyho” when they sight a fox. They say “there goes that red so and so.” NO FANCY GARB Instead of fancy garb the men wear muddy boots, often fine but inconspicuous gabardines, khaki hunting attire and overalls. “We emphasize the hounds and not the hunters or horses,” says Col. Howard Stovall of Stovall, Miss., a past president of the Na tional Foxhunters association. In the opening cast of the 25th chase futurity yesterday, two dogs piled up a small lead with 75 merit points credited them for hunting and trailing ability and drive. They were Sam Brooks, owned by J. R. White of Spartanburg, S. C.. and C. A. Blaze, owned by C. A Boultinghouse of Sparks Hill, 111. In a record field of 237 that trapped and killed five red foxes, these hounds were trailed by Roy al Lady II, another entry of Whites. The futurity champion will be decided Wednesday. A record field of 400 hounds will vie in the all age championship, opening Thurs day. DEACONS, TAR HEELS TO VIE RICHMOND.
