As an example, the Titans completely ignored John Wysocki, Vll-lanova end who was named on several All-America teams.

All told, 38 sports editors nomi. nated the Getchell incident and no oiner sports oaaity came even close.

John Vander Meer's two sue cesslve no-hit, no-run eamn ranked as the No, 2 oddity, fol. lowed by the 2-2 football draw played by Virginia Military and Virginia Tech and the collision between Stanley Hack and Bill Jurges over a dinky infield roller in the second game of the World Series. Close behind in the ballotir.t were Ferebee's series of golf mar. athoni and the grim hunting accident which cost Monty Stratton, wnue sox pucner, a leg. Football furnished its full shar of oddities, including the victories Duke and Notre Dame scored over Pitt and Minnesota although they made only one and two first downs, respectively; Temnle i zo-zo lie witn tsoston College; Detroit's 7-6 victory over Santa Clara after Gus Dorais, De troit coach, had suggested thi game be played with the try for extra point eliminated; Ohio State's football strike on the evi of the Michigan eame; lows State's feat in scoring two touchdowns in the last four minutes to tie Kansas State, 13 to 13; tht "Heavenly Gates" incident at Dartmouth; Jack Dodd's theft ot the ball and 90-yard run for touchdown in Nebraska's game with Minnesota.

Another was Paul Kromer 46-yard punt return for Michigan against Perm when Kromer first fumbled the ball, recovered it on the bounce and scored without losing a stride. One contributor nominated: "Almost any ruling by the New York State Athletic Commission." Getchell Named to Referet Carnegie Tech Bowl Gams MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 17 -(A. John Getchell said today that he had been chosen to referee the Sugar Bowl game between Texas Christian and Carnegit Tech, victim of his wrong-down decision in the game the Skiboi lost to Notre Dame, 7 to 0. Hii appointment was recommended by Bill Kern, Carnegie Tech coach.

The Sugar Bowl game is scheduled Jan. 2. U.S. Davis Cup ChancesSO-50, Asserts Riggs CHICAGO, Dec. 17 (A, -Bobby Riggs, America's top-ranking amateur tennis player Don Budge turned pro, has but on burning ambition these days -keep the Davis Cup in the United States.

He thinks It can be done if the first flight candidates for tli cup team "get into perfect condition and make every effort to reach their peak for the International matches." 1 think," Riggs said, "that have an even chance to retain the cup even if Budge is gone, but I wouldn't say our chance is better than 60-50. "We should be able to round tip a good team from the candidates. I rate Sid Wood, Elwood Cooke. Frank Kovacs, Gene Make Bitsy Grant and Joe Hunt aa definite cup possibilities in the singles, but I don't know whether all art available. "In the doubles, the only thir.gr' to do is give all tandems an ample chance to show their stuff, then pick the one with the best record.

The United States bound to miss Budge and Mako in the doubles, but Mako may able to find another partner who can carry on with him. I hear he's planning now to play with Jack Tidball, of Seattle." Riggs, whose initial Invasion of the East three years ago brought him fourth place in the nations, rankings at the age of 18. to skip most of the winter meets this season and conserve his energy for a strenuous summer. "I've been wanting to go to Europe for two years, so I'm goinpti over next year for my first try at the French and titles," he said, adding that would also take in several Eastern tournaments and, of course, the National Singles competition. Asked if pro tennis might even-; tually claim him, Riggs said: 'T haven't any ldas about pro; tennis at all.

P.er.M. i 11 ball statistics for the nnt. uunn shows graphically that the Irish of JW9 were not a great marching team, but a club that could ret together for quick scoring thrusts wnen me occasion demanded. Although Notre Dame made yards from scrimmage to ,472 for opponents, the Irish had i margin of only 86 first downs 0 81. Of these, the nnnnaftinn made 21 first downs to seven on forward passes.

Yet Notre Dame scored five touchdowns to two on passes and waa outgalned only 439 yards to 320 on aerial thrusts. JNOire uame attempted only 81 passes to opponents' 139 in nine games, completing 16 to 43. The Irish had nine interceded snd opponents had 15 intercepted. Outkicked By Shade The Irish were outkicked bv a hair, 37.9 yards to 37.7 yards a kick. Notre Dame made an aver age of 10.6 on punt returns to opponents' 7.4 yards.

Despite the closeness of the fig ures, Notre Dame managed to win us. nrst eight starts, scoring by almost every known method, "but tne Trojans of Southern California reversed the situation at Los Ange les in the Dec. 3 finale, winning 13 to 0. Season-long trends were just backwards for both teams in many respects in that game. For example, Southern California capitalized on two breaks to score, while this had been almost an exclusive Irish practice in other games.

Southern California did its best punting of the year while Notre Dame was below average. The Irish tied Southern California in first downs and outeained U.S.C. slightly. The Trojans had been winning the first downs all season, even while losing two games to Washington and Ala bama. But Notre Dame had "lost the statistics" several times, only to get the highest total points.

Zontinl Is Workhorse The figures show that Lou Zon tinl, ricrht half, who carried the ball 69 times, was the 1938 work horse. He made 283 yards or an average of more than four a trin Bob Saggau, sophomore left half, maae me most yards on running plays, carrying 64 times for 351, an average or 5. a a trip.

Swede Wrestlers Plan U.S. Invasion They'll Meet All-Star College Teams PHILADELPHIA, DC. 17 Sweden's international championship amateur wrestling team will visit this Country next March for a series of meets with the outstanding club and college wrestling teams in the United States, according to W.

Austin Bishop, secretary of the National Wrestling Coaches Association and a member of the advisory board of the N.C.A.A. During their stay in this Country Bishop, who a eoaoh of the varsity wrestling team at the University of Pennsylvania, expects the visitors to meet an all Pennsylvania college wrestling team, composed of the outstanding wrestlers in each class. The visit of the Swedish team, their first to these shores, will be a return one for the visit of the National A.A.U. championship team to the Scandinavian coua tries last summer. The United States team finished a close second to Sweden in the International championship meet at Stockholm.

U. S. Women' Hockey Team to Visit in Guiana An invitation from the British Guiana Women's Hockey Associa tion for a visit by an American team in February has been accepted. All members of the United States Field Hockey Association are eligible for this tour, with the final selection of team members being left to the selection conv mlttee. Gehringer Retired Once in 15 Stealing Attempts Charley Gehringer had a great base running record in 1938.

He tried to steal 15 times and was thrown out only once. Bob Rolfe, of the Yankees, tried 14 times and was turned back but once. Going to anything. Anything less than a Harmsworth race we suppose. Duke Ellis, the Brewster A.

A. boxing coach, has another heavyweight prospect. The discoverer of Joe Louis has a heavyweight who is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 208 pounds. His name is Howard Williams, and he fights so well that Duke is debating whether to enter him as a novice or an open division fighter in the coming tournaments. He has liio Ltrrtlu-lllilLti Huslo1 Ai- mon, who was runner-up in the Golden Gloves last vear.

I Three fr in Anr i peak in 1937 when a total of 1,300 students competed In at least on sport. Most of the boys competed in anywhere from two or four sports. Swimming, tennis and golf were the most popular and all can be continued long after graduation. There are 120 homerooms at Cass Tech and the competition among these homerooms is Just as keen as the competition between regular school teams in the City league, Witt reports. Safety Education Stressed Witt believes the next big step in physical education definitely is safety education.

Even today, one-tenth of the time spent by the athletic instructors is spent on safety measures, Archie claims. "Calisthenics and apparatus work have been pushed into the background in recent years," says Witt, "and the boys have been given individual instruction so they can enjoy the various sports not only while they are in school, but long after they have been graduated." This plan, no doubt, is one of the main reasons that the athletic program of the City League has advanced so much in recent years. In 1926 there were 3,907 boys competing in athletics in the league. This was 26 per cent of the total enrollment. During the 1937-38 school year, 16,766 boys competed, or 71 per cent of ths enrollment.

This is an increase of 45 pr cent in II years. Sport for Fun ARCHIE WITT St Nick Is old featherweight from Milwaukee, is probably the most talked about boxer in Detroit. If you can imagine Kayo Morgan, Maxie Rosenbloom and Joe E. Brown all rolled into one, you have a picture of Billy. He stole the show at the Goodfellow bouts Friday night when he battled Nate Crosby.

Although he lost, every fan in the parked house was standing on his feet hfenng him when tne final hell ran. Gar Wood, the Silver Fox of speed boating, sitting at the ringside, slid he wouldn't have misted the Kratrhovil-Crosby fight for 'X-. 'V' if captain or the All-Opponent team. Speaking- for the entire squad however, Capt. Alex Chesney pointed out that the selections were based on one-game perform' snces and it was possible that th Villanova star might have had an cff day when he opposed the Titans.

As matter of fact the Titans had pointed for Wysocki nd so completely bottled him up that he was removed from the game in Philadelphia during its lets stages. Coon, Wolff art Tackle Another of last year's selections was dropped when the Titans failed to nam Fritz Pollard, brilliant Negro halfback from North Dakota, on the 1938 team. Santa Clara led all rivals by placing four man on the Titans' AU-Opponent team. Boston College nd North Stat each placed two. Following is the All-Opponent team selected by the players and given full approval by the Titan coaching staff: Ends Charles Gainor (North Dakota) and Gene Goodreault College).

Ponder tht exploits of the' mighty mites among football teams. Scattered about the land are a number of "minor league" college teams that, with a minimum of advertising and national recognition, have marched through the 1938 season unbeaten. The bowl invitations went to the "big" teams Duke, the Rose Bowl; Texas Christian, the Sugar Bowl, and Tennessee and Oklahoma, the Orange Bowl but these little fellows have compiled records just as excellent; for an unbeaten season Is a major accomplishment in any league. Consider Mansfield Taka Mansfield Teachers' College in Pennsylvania. Only Duke, with an uncrossed goal line, owns a better defensive record.

A safety awarded to Mlllersvills was the only score against Mansfield, which has an enrollment of C5S and is coached by Eugene Martin. Mansfield won the mythical Pennsylvania championship of state teachers colleges. Western Tennessee Teachers came up with the high scoring outfit among the "minor league" unbeaten. These boys ran up 281 points in 10 games. Combined forces of their enemies could only scrape together 41.

Then there is Ottawa University in Kansas, where 10 per cent of the student body of S00 were on the football squad. Ottawa won eight games, scored 134 points to Its opponents' 18. Coach Dick Godlove directed Ottawa through its first unbeaten season. Ottawa won the Kansas conference championship. One Team Gets Through Only one team was able to penetrate Western Washington's line for a touchdown.

Other scores came on field goals or passes, Western won seven games, scored 98 points against 30 for Us rivals, Coach Charles Lappenbusch's team won the Washington Inter collegiate conference title. Unbeaten teams are no novelty to Maryville (Mo.) Teachers, which also boasted perfect records in 1925 and 1931. Maryville scored 221 points In nine games, against 26 for its foes. Halfback Bill Bur- nau tallied 88 points. Maryville, coached by Ryland Milner and Wil bur Stalcup, won the Missouri Intercollegiate A.

A. championship. Hillsdale (Michigan) was also unbeaten in 1931 and 1933, but was tied both years. The Hillsdales scored 224 points in eight games to 27 for their rivals. Hillsdale, with an enrollment of 500, won the Michigan Intercollegiate A.A.

championship. Halfback Gordon Piatt scored 68 points. The Wahpeton (N. Science Judges Named for Dog Show Canine Experts Given Major Tasks Judges announced for the annual Detroit dog show that will be held March 4 and 5 includes many of the leaders in this field of expert-ness, no fewer than seven of them being all-arounders. There are 14 in all and the list compares favorably with that of any of the big shows.

In the finals the veteran Charles G. Hopton, of Brooklyn, will do best of show, a Job for which he thoroughly is qualified. C. B. Van Meter, of Van Nuys, will handle the gun dogs in the groups; William T.

The two main halls of the northern half of Convention Hall will be given to the benching and the larger annex to the judging rings, of which there will be at least six to expedite the work, as this show promises to go well over the 1,000 mark. As many of the breed Judges as possible have been chosen upon recommendation of ths Michigan specialty elubs that are expected to give real co-operation to the 1939 opener of the Midwestern circuit of national shows.

Western Reserve scored 259 points to 31 for its opponents. It won the Ohio Big Four championship. Coach Bill Edwards' team also went unbeaten in This was the first unbeaten reason in Georgetown's 63 years of football.

The Hoyas scored 185 points while their opponents made 26. Texas Tech got a Cotton Bowl bid. Incidentally, Western Reserve has just about the best record, over ths past five years, of any team in America. Ths five-year compilation for the Cleveland school shows 43 victories, three defeats, and two ties, for a percentage of .935. Baker's Dozen Cut to Seven, Then to Five OLIVET, Dec.

17 Basketball coaches who bemoan lack of material have nothing on Walter Sprandel, of Olivet College. When practice opened a few weeks ago, Sprandel had only a 12-man squad, but larger than some he has had in previous seasons. Sprandel felt somewhat elated. But before the first game, the Comet coach found himself with only seven available players. Five had been declared ineligible, including Jack Jones, star guard on last year's team.

Nor is that all. One of the seven available boys, Ralph Martin, of Redford, is handicapped by an Injured ankle and another. Frank Ham, is forced to wear a brace following a football injury to his back. The five inellglbles are expected to be ready for duty after the Christmas vacation. es Piazza was printed in the paper to report for action, both showed up.

They are light-beavyweighte. Slim McClelland, the veteran fight referee, has been conspicuous by his absence. A leg injury suffered last summer has kept him out of the ring at the amateur shows this season. Judges, trainers and newspapermen always are glad to see Howard Vair come to the amateur fights.

Sabo boy who likes to try his hand at all sports probably will get more fun out of athletics In later years than the fellow who works hard to specialize In one field and becomes a champion In that sport." It was Archie J. Witt, Cass Tech High School athletic direc tor, talking of his txperience as head of Tech's athletic department for 12 years. Witt, all- around athlete first at Western High School and later at Muhlenberg College, should know whereof he speaks. "High school students like their champions Just as well as anyone," Witt said, "but when the years start rolling by, these students discover that they get more enjoyment In playing golf and tennis or taking a swim on a hot day than they do in recalling their feats on the gridiron or ths basketball court In their more youthful days. That's ths reason the Cass Tech intramural piogram attempts to stress a great variety of sports rather than one par ticular sport." 1,300 Students Competed Witt started at Cass Tech in 1927 after a brilliant athletic ca reer at Muhlenberg.

At that time less Laan 20 per cent of the boys enrolled at Cans Teoh competed in athletics. Today, after Witt has worked 11 long years to dt- vewp an intramural program, 70 per cent of the boys compete ki uie jecn sports program. In producing the Cass Tech in tramural records, Witt points out that the school has issued approximately 600 working permits to siuuenis mis year. Tne 30 per cent of the boys enrolled who do not compete in the intramural program are for the most Dart. composed of the boys who work after school hours.

Witt's athletic program hit its Tommy Dorais Cubs Co-Pilot Another Dorais is climbing the ladder to football success. Tommy Dorais, oldest of Gus sons, has been elected co-captain of the 1939 University of Detroit High School football team, Coach Bob Tiernan announced Saturday. Dorais and Art Montagne were elected by the 19 letter winners of me 1V6S team. Dorais and Montagne re juniors and each has played two years on the Cub team. Both received honorable mention on the Free Press official All-City team last ran.
