Arnold Tucker, who will be a lieutenant soon, received more recognition for his generalship of the Army football squad when he was awarded the James E. Sullivan memorial trophy.
Tucker is the second grid man in the 17-year history of the award to earn the honor. The only other was his teammate for three years, the one and only Felix Blanchard, who received the trophy last year.
He was pronounced the amateur athlete who "by performance, example, and influence, did the most oversee the cause of good sportsmanship."
The balloting this year was the closest in the history of the award. Tucker received 597 points to nose out swimming star Bill Smith from Hawai'i (566) and quarterback John v Luiack of Notre Dame (546).
Tucker received 54 first place ballots compared with 56 for Lujack and 50 for Smith. Points were awarded on a basis of five for first, three for second, and one for third. The poll was taken by the National A.A.U.

The cotton bowl may be bigger next year, but Kansas will still have a rough time getting into it. The Big Six loop will be another toughie.
The non-conference schedule for the Jayhawkers has been eased a little, but it still contains the ever- tough Oklahoma Aggies and a couple of new projects, Arizona and South Dakota State.
Noticeable by their absence from next year's schedule are toughies Tulsa and Wichita.
Wichita is still trying to break into the ranks of the better small schools in the country, and to a large extent has succeeded.
The Shockers have consistently fielded good football teams the last few years, and have turned out pretty good cage squads too. The latest Wichita conquest was a 74-34 victory over Oklahoma City U.
Pratt, Kan.—A city league basketball team was in progress when one of the players called time. He hurried over to the sidelines and hunted out his dentist.
He pulled out his false teeth, gave them to the dentist for safekeeping, and rushed back onto the court.
The University of Oklahoma announces that head football coach Jim Tatum and his staff have received substantial pay increases. The coaching staff was all that was mentioned to receive the raise.

Wrestling will get its start in surrounding circles this week as Wichita U. travels to Lincoln for a match with the University of Nebraska, and Iowa State opens a two-week series of mats trays.
The Cyclones will have five meets during the next two weeks, starting with powerful Cornell tomorrow night. The Big Six season will open for the Cyclones Jan. 25, when they tangle with Kansas State.

In hockey circles, the talk is of the Toronto Maple Leafs who climbed back to a $2\frac{1}{2}$-game lead in the National League by truncing Chicago, 10-4. Detroit pulled an upset by downing the second-place Montreal Canadiens at Montreal.
Kansas City Pla-mors have hit the come-back trail in local hockey circles. The Pla-mors coasted along in last place through the early weeks of the season, then shifted into high gear and are on hot the heels of the two first-place duelists, Omaha and Minneapolis.
A Real School-Full
Mt. Vernon, Ill. (UP)—School doesn't start in the mornings at nearby Drivers until the Bodine family arrives. The four children of the family, ranging from seven to 14 years, are the entire student body of the one-room schoolhouse.
Engleman Directs Jayhawkers In Battle With Oklahoma
Without the guiding hand of their coach, Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, the Jayhawker cagers will battle the Oklahoma Sooners tonight in their second conference game.
The team will be in the hands of Assistant Coach Howard Engleman as it takes on one of the loop's toughest members in the Sooners.
The Sooners will be an especially tough obstacle to cross on their own campus, but he'll be trying to rebound from their 41-44 defeat at the hands of Nebraska Monday.
Both teams have a conference standing of no wins and one loss, and the loser will sink deeper into the league cellar with the winner climbing to third and possibly into a tie for second.
One other game is scheduled for tonight, pitting the high-flying Kansas State Wildcats against the ever-wet Iowa State Cyclones at Ames.
A victory for Coach Jack Gardner's club would send them farther out in front of the conference with two victories and no defeats, a record now held by the Missouri Tigers.
A loss to the Cyclone squad would drop the Wilcats a full game behind Missouri and would put them in a fourway tie with Iowa State. Nebraska, and the winner of the Kansas-Oklahoma fray.
Coach Bruce Drake of the Sooners is expected to start his strongest lineup of Dick Reich, Paul Courty, Gerald Tucker, Allie Paine, and Jack Landon, but Reich may be out because of an injury suffered when he collided with a Nebraska player Monday. He may be replaced by Harly Dav.
The game will also hit against other the two highest scorers in Big Six history, Gerald Tucker of Oklahoma and Charlie Black of Kansas.
Tucker holds the scoring record for the conference with 175 points for 10 games in 1943. Black narrowly failed to match the record last year as he hit 173 in 1Kansas victories.
The Jayhawkers hold one victory over the Sooners this year, downing them 51-45 in the semi-finals of the All-College tournament in December.
A preview of the duel was seen in the two team's earlier meeting when the two stars shared only 15 points between them. Black netted nine, and held Tucker to no field goals in the last half as the Sooner could only register six.
Against all opposition, however,
the two have shone like the spark-
plugs they are. Tucker has a 13.9
average for 14 games, while Black's
average for 13 is 11.9.
Coach Engleman will probably start Black and Otto Schnellbacher at forwards, Ray Evans at center, and Wendell Clark and Jack Eskridge at guards.

Bruce Drake, long-time conference opponent of K.U.'s Dr. F. C. Allen, will attempt to lead his Oklahoma Sooner basketball team to a win over Kansas at Norman tonight. K.U. took three straight from the Sooners last year and won out, 51-45, in their only meeting this season.
W.A.A. Will Send Delegates To National Convention
Maxine Gunselly, chairman of the W. A. A. board, presided at the regular January meeting of the group in the Robinson gymnasium office at 7 Thursday night.
A discussion of the number of delegates to be sent to the W. A. A. national convention at the Women's college, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, headed the new business.
Pittsburgh. (UP)—Duquesne university officials said today they would try to find a replacement for Miami university for a Jan. 15 basketball game after cancelling the Miami game because a Negro is a star player on the Duquesne team.
Negro Causes Miami To Cancel Basketball
The game was scheduled at Miami, and the Florida school informed Duquesne that a city law forbids mixed competition of whites and Negroes. Coach Chick Davies said that he would not make the trip without Center Charles Cooper, a Negro, and cancelled the date.
Recently the University of Tennessee refused to play at Duquesne because Davies would not agree to keep Cooper on the bench.
Weeds Winning Out In War With Man
Washington. (UP) — Weeds are spreading faster than they are being destroyed, according to William H. (Bill) Mercer of Amarillo, Tex., the world's largest weed seed collector
Mercer has been studying weeds since the early 1900's and in the intervening years has collected more than 1,500 kinds of weed seed from the worst patches in this country and abroad.
Mercer outlined his reason for believing weeds are beating man's war against them in the current issue of "Era," the monthly publication of the Bureau of Reclamation.
He said that few farmers test their crop seed prior to planting. Farmers who are careless with the seed they plant may reap a harvest of weeds over a period of years instead of a marketable crop, he warned.
To illustrate, Mercer confounds onlookers by mixing together crop and weed seeds and then separating them. It is a difficult task because the seeds look alike. It takes expert knowledge to them. Most farmers don't have this know-how and don't try to acquire it, Mercer said.
He estimated that the annual loss caused by weeds on some reclamation projects amounts to more than the farmer pays for operation and maintenance charges and construction costs combined.
Many people are all too careless about weed control. he said.
