VEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1949

Bears Have Fun On The Gridiron
San Francisco, Dec. 20—(U.P.)—Winse or draw, the chances are that university of California's football am will have more fun in the ose bowl game with Ohio State i Jan. 2 than anybody.
While playing the game for keeps, e team never loses its sense of amor.
In every game there is a new ro. Against U.S.C. in the really old year, Frank Brink with his 102rd return of a kick-off.
Against U.C.L.A. it was the imperturbable Bob Celeri with his brilliant signal calling and booting plays. Against Santa Clara it was reserve quarterback Boots brb; and in several games it was used in the four performances of tech men as All-Starod Franz; all-coast tackle Jim Turner; sophomore center Les ichter, and others.
Tackle Jim Cullom, the "toe" for the team, also is the club's big, God-natured clown. Waldorf tells the story of one day when everything was going wrong at practice, in this particular play, Cullom was supposed to pull out of the line, run down field, and then come back to run some interference on bootleg play for Celeri. But he got until the play was over, then shed over to the place where he
is surprised to be standing when
she is told, hoping Pappy
kills it notice.
Waldorf noticed, all right, and called Cullom out, trying Dave schmalenberg on the same play, to Waldorf's horror, Schmalenberg did exactly the same thing, appy called time out and went into muddle to bawl the boys out. He had his mouth open, ready to lilf Schmalenberg, when Culin pipes up:
"Leave him alone, Pappy. If the I just has a case of hero worship ve him alone."
After that Waldorf says the prac- went along smoothly.
The fellow who has made little the way of headlines but is a good gamble to be the hero of the owl bowl is Jim Monachino, a -year-old 200-pound halfback -the right or left. He played light a lot of the season, but owed to left when injuries detected the Bear backfield ranks. was so steady all year, that was exceeded until the end of the season that he led the Bear (1) times carried ball, 125; (2) yardage on ground, 694; (3) gain per carry, 5.55; and most important (4) in scoring wiff points.
Waldorf, a strong proponent of two-platoon system, will stick his T-formation for the Rose wl, but he'll depend, as always, that terrific power his teams enerate wide and outside the tacе positions.
Fuchs, Button In Toss Up For James Sullivan Trophy
New York, Dec. 20—(U.P.)—The James E. Sullivan memorial trophy awarded annually to the nation's outstanding amateur athlete is up for grabs today and it looks like a toss-up between Jim Fuchs, Yale's world record shot putter, and Dick Button, Harvard figure skater.
These would seem to be the two front runners as the balloting is conducted to pick one of seven candidates—five men and two women—that is an outside possibility that any of them could win, it, notably Fred Wilt, the former Indiana distance runner and Allen Stack, Yale's backstroke ace.
The other candidates are Doris Hart of Miami, runner-up in the National Women's singles; Barbara Jensen, San Francisco swimmer and Joe Verdeur, Philadelphia breast-stroke ace.
Fuchs, the Yale football and track star from Chicago, looks like a good bet. He boosted the world 16-pound standard to 58 feet, four and 27/54 inches at Oslo, Norway, last summer. A member of the 1948 Olympic team, he also N.C.A.A. and A.A.U. champ and record holder.
Button, the New Jersey youngster, during the 1947-48 season has won every available major figure skating championship in the world, including the Olympic title.
Stack is a tank phenomenon who holds every existing world backstroke record except for 100 yards. He also has set three American short course records and seven American 20-yard course marks in winning the intercollegiate, N.C.A.A., A.A.U. and Olympic crowns.
Another tank man is Verdeun, holder of two world breaststroke records and an Olympic winner in unequalled time.
Probably the most deserving of an award based on sportsmanship and courage as well as performance, is Miss Hart.
Stricken with infantile paralysis when she was a child, Miss Hart used tennis to fight her way back to health after an operation. At the age of 14 she won the Southern Women's championship and proved a stirring and heartening example to other unfortunate children.
Doris took the National Junior girls' championship in 1942 and 1943 but in the big ones—at Wimbledon and Forest Hills—four times has been unable to crash through as she finished second best.
During the war, Miss Hart traveled 20,000 miles to play in Army and Navy camps. Recently misfortune struck again and she underwent an eye operation. But since then she has come back with all her famed gameness to win the Eastern Grass courts, National Hard courts and the Mexico City International tournament.
But Fuchs, with his world record, will be a tough man to shade. It's too bad that they can't slice it up and divide it seven ways.
She would be a splendid winner But then, so would the others.
Slugging percentages, compiled on the basis of a batter's total bases divided by his total times at bat, showed that Kiner and Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals swept the field by a wide margin.
Boston, Dec. 21-The University of Kansas basketball team lost 43 to 57 to the Holy Cross college team in Boston Garden Tuesday night.
KU Loses 43 To 57
New York, Dec. 20—(U.P.)-Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh, amassing the maximum mileage out of his base hits, paced the National league with a slugging percentage of .658 during the 1949 season, according to official averages released today.
Kiner hit for 361 total bases in 549 times at bat, beating Musial by 34 points. The Cardinal outfielder registered 382 total bases in 612 trips to the plate for a .624 percentage.
Kiner Tops NL Batters
Kiner, who also paced the league in runs batted in with 127, drew the most bases on balls, 117.

collar Harry" by striking out the
most times, 92.
In team slugging, the Dodgers ranked tops with a collective mark of 419.
