MEMORIAL OF EVANSVILLE IS NAMED LEADER Dick Miller Terms Memorial “Most Outstanding" In State (Editor’s note: Watch for Miller’s all-state high school teams to appear in this paper soon.) By Dick Miller, (Special to the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Dec. 12. —Memorial high sehool football team of Evansville, undefeated in Indiana competition since 1933, today was selected by the writer as the “most outstanding” grid machine in lloosierdotn during the 1938 season. and awarded the twelfth annual trophy, "Triumph.” The selection this year was probably the most difficult ever made by the writer, even more so than last year when Hammond was selected over Memorial, although both boasted identical records. ten games without defeat. • Coach Don Ping and his Tigers were selected this year from a field of more than a dozen teams. Without a doubt the most outstanding high school team within its class this season in Indiana was Valparaiso. coached by J. E. Wiggins. The little Vikings went through a nine game schedule without defeat and scored 20 points in every game except one when Lowell held them to 19. According to reports LaPorte was the only team to score on the Valpo first eleven. Based on won and lost records. Emerson of Gary. Washington of East Chicago, Elkhart, Newcastle. Shortridge of Indianapolis. West Lafayette. Bluffton, Jefferson of Lafayette. Sullivan, Vincennes and Park school of Indianapolis all demand recognition. This is the second time in a dozen years that the award was captured by a Memorial team. The Tigers first gained the coveted honor in 1935. Memorial last w-as defeated by an Indiana team on Thanksgiving day. 1933, when Clinton downed the Tigers 18-2.

Since that time the Evansville club has scored 1,320 points to opponents 110. Significant is the fact that in four previous seasons, Tiger opponents scored only a total of 46 points, whereas this year they scored 64. During those four years Memorial was tied five times. The first defeat by any team came early this season when a last minute touchdown enabled Tilkhmun high of Paducah. Kentucky to defeat the Tigers. 12-7. It is my feeling that the most outstanding thing about the Memorial team this year was its ability ;to improve with each game. The complete season record of the Tiger eleven follows. 6 Emerson (Cary) 0 62 Princeton 0 7 Tilghman (Paducah. Ky) 12 19 Owensboro, Ky. 0 34 Central (South Bend) 26 19 Bosse (Evansville) 6 38 Garfield (Terre Haute) 0 20 Central (Evansville- 7 24 Reitz (Evansville) 13 219 Total Opponents 64 Record —won 8; lost 1, In 1927 the Indiana High School Athletic Assoiation granted per-' mission to the writer to award annually a trophy to the most outstanding team of the season, so long 'as it was made clear the I. j H. S. A. A. had nothing to do with the designation. The trophy bears the inscription j “Presented to Memorial High ; School of Evansville, Outstanding Indiana team of 1938.” selected by i Dick Miller. Indianapolis. The first award in 1927 was cap- I tured by Froebel of Gary. Other ; winners were Clinton in 1928. 1932 and 1933: Horace Mann of Gary. 1929 and 1936; Emerson of Gary, | 1930; Central of South Bend. 1931; , Muncie in 1934; Memorial of Ev-j ansville. 1935 and Hammond in 1937. Emerson of Gary, champion of the North Indiana conference, by virtue of that title affords the most serious chalenge to Memorial s claim to the trophy. In an early season game Memorial defeated Emerson, 6-0. Emerson plowed up and down the field but just couldn’t . strike pay dirt. Emerson, winner of the western division title in the Northern lea-I gue. defeated Elkhart, Eastern division winner in the playoff for the j title. It was the only defeat suf- I sered by Don Veller s Elkhart team and the Blue Blazers truly were a great team winning nine games against top notic opposition. Em- | erson tied with New Trier, 111., but the real blotch on the Golden Tor- | nado record came the result of 9 tie with Washington of South Bend. Ranking even with Elkhart in my opinion was North Side of Fort Wayne coached by Bob Nulf. The Redskins slumped away their claims to the trophy through an 18- , 6 defeat by Cathedral of Indianap- ' olis. John McShane’s Washington of East Chicago team was a fine club losing only to Emerson of Gary. ’ “Grizz" Baker’s Newcastle Trojans captured the North Central conference title but sluffed away its claim to the award in scoreless tie game with Sheridan, a tough little eleven. Shortridge of Indianapolis coached by Bob Nipper won the city title but lost a game to Jefferson of Lafayette. coached by A. B. Masters. Jeff in turn was defeated by Kokomo. and tied by West Lafayette. It was a powerful little team at West Lafayette however that won six other games and went w-ithout a defeat under the coaching of Leon Dailey. Bluffton, coached by L. E. Templin. shared the Northeastern Indiana conference title with North Side of Fort Wayne, won seven but lost one to Huntington, and tied one, with Warsaw. Sullivan won the Wabash Valley title for the second consecutive year. Coach Paul Kelly s Golden Arrows won seven, lost to Reitz 2—MEMORIAL OF of Evansville and tied with Vincennes and Bloomington. Vincennes coached by John L. Adams, won six, lost to Central of Evansville and tied with Sullivan and Bloomington. Lou Reichel’s Park school team of Indianapolis lost only to Culver Military Academy, a team defeated by Shortridge. However, many of the Park players are post-high school graduates. Bosse of Evansville won the Southern conference title but lost to Memorial, not a member of the league and also to Reitz of Evansville. Thus after weighing the above situation, studying numerous other team records, analyzing strength of teams in various sectors, it was my opinion, based upon cold figures, that Memorial was the most outstanding team of 1938, a season that developed twice as many outstanding teams than any previous campaign.

GIANTS DEFEAT GREEN BAY TO CAPTURE TITLE I New York Wins National Pro Title With 23-17 Victory New York, Dec. 12 — <U.R> Ward Cuff, a hard driving back j made of concrete and steel, was I the toast of the town today as New York hailed its gridiron giants lew world champions of professional football. There were heroes aplenty out there on the muddy Polo Grounds turf yesterday as the Giants con- ■ quered the Green Bay Packers. ' 25-17. in the national professional football league championship playoil. But it remained for Cuff, a virtual unknown when he played ‘at Marquette, to cop the wreath l with a smashing tackle that saved I the game late in the fourth jteriod. It was THE tackle of a game so hard-fought that the crowd of i 12,120 —largest ever to see this ; gridiron world series — marvelled , (hat flesh and bone could stand lup under such pounding There were times when cool-witted play-1 ers saved some of their hot-tem-peied inr.tes from swinging'their Mists in iree-for-alls. It was a game in which the ! boys were levelling all the way——for alma mater but for dollars i and cents. And when it was over, j | Cuff and Johnny Dell Isola. Giant guard, were in a hospital with ■ possible fractures, respectively.; i to a breast bone and the verte-1 brae. The Giants, winners in 19341 | and first team ever to take the j title a second time since the play-1 | off system between the western , ; and eastern division winners was 1 i inaugurated in 1933. were out ini I front 23-17 when Cuff did his stuff. Halted once on the Giant 40, i I the Packers had the ball on their own 35. Arnie Herber pitched two incomplete passes and fullback Ed Jankowski could make only a yard ' through the Giant line. Herber faded back and whipped a long pass to Wayland Becker. Cuff charged in from his defensive halfback position just as Becker leaped into the air on the I Giant 20 and caught the ball. Cuff hit him. The impact was heard i all over the stadium and Becker | fell. The ball bounded from his i | arms and “Kayo" Lunday, Giant. ■ guard, recovered it on his own 22. i i This break seemed to take the I fire out of the Packers. Standing W. L.

ZEKE BONURA TO NEW TOR K Giants Purchase Slugging First Sacker From Senators — I New York. Dre. 12.-<U.R> - The i important man in baseball today , wua Zeke Bonura. hippopotamus I like first baseman who’ll wear the ’ spangles of the New York Glantß I next season. Bonura’a importance isn’t derlv- ’ ed* from his size or the fact that : he is the key man in it deal which supposedly swung the American i league in favor of night baseball. The best information In basei ball circles Is that Cleveland, the ! last club to withdraw waivers on i Bonura. released its claim to the I colorful Italian —a man they ■ couldn’t use anyway—in return for I Washington's vote for night basej ball. The Indians, who want to I play seven nocturnal games in j Cleveland's municipal stadium with ' its seating capacity of 78,000, had i mustered four votes for night haseI ball. When they waived on Bonura I they obtained the fifth vote necessary to swing the deal. Other dubs voting for night ball reportedly were the Browns, Ath- , letics and White Sox. The Giants gave pitcher Tom ! Baker, last year with Jersey City. I infielder Jim Carlin, who played with the Richmond Piedmont leaj gue club, and an undisclosed sum j of Cash, believed to be 130.000. to the Senators for Bonura. In 137 I games last season Bonura batted .289, hit 22 home runs and drove ; in 114 runs. With the Polo grounds short left field stands to shoot at. Bonura is expected to prove a vital man on the offense. But he is a weak sister on defense. Manager Bucky Harris of the Senators announced that fancyfielding Jim Wasdell will be Washington’s full-time first baseman. The Senators are still in a trading mood and are said to have shortstop Cecil Travis on the block, with Detroit the principal bidder. o —.— FISH LICENSE SALETHURSDAY 1939 Hunting And Fishing Licenses Go On Sale Dec. 15 New 1939 hunting and fishing lic- , cnses will be placed on sale Thursday, County Clerk G.
