Capitals Move Into East to Defend Fat Western Division Lead
SPORTS...
By Eddie Ash
IN ADDITION to providing schools with money for minor sports, New Year's Bowl football games frequently introduce under-publicized institutions to various sections of the country. Clemson is the college getting itself in the national picture as the result of this winter's Bowl attractions. . .. The Tigers deploy against the Boston College Eagles in the Dallas Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1. Any well-posted football man will tell you that for two seasons Clemson has had one of the finest college varsities in the land and in Banks McFadden a truly great
All-America triple-threat. What is not generally known is that the Clemson
campus in the extreme northwest corner of South Carolina,
not far from a spur of the Blue Ridge, was once the famous Dixie estate of John C. Calhoun. Clemson College is named after the great statesman’s son-in-law, Thomas G. Clemson.

JOHN W. HEISMAN, pioneer football tutor south of the MasonDixon line, once coached Clemson. . . . So did Frank J. Shaughnessy, president of the International Baseball League; Frank Dobson, Princeton man associated with Dixie football for 25 years, and Josh Cody. Cody and the current coach, Jess Neely, are Vanderbilt products of Dan McGuin.
Use Quick Kick to Great Advantage
CLEMSON PROBABLY employs the quick-kick toc better advantage than any team in the Southern Conference. . . . McFadden perhaps is one of the slickest punter in the nation. The Tigers also make most of the forward pass with Joe Blalock frequently the receiver. . . . He is one of the more capable sophomore ends. Although Clemson’s spinners and reverses do not carry the deception of some of the more formidable arrays, they probably are more powerful due to two-on-one blocking. The Cotton Bowl puts Clemson on the football map. .. . Jess Neely and Tiger teams promise to keep it there.

2 ” 2 Tinker and Evers Were Tricksters FRANK CHANCE'S oid Chicago Cubs used to get away with a baseball blocking in the pinch. It was employed by Joe Tinker end Johnny Evers when the tying or winning run was on second. Tinker, from short, would dash over three times to second, take the throw trom the pitcher and tug the runner. . , . Of course the runner got back ahead of the throw. . . . But the fourth time Tinker went over he faked a stumble and fell between the runner and the bag. . . . Evers then cut in to take the throw and tag the runner, who was losing, time trying to straddle Tinker Rival teams claimed interference, and lustily, but the umpires seldom allowed it the iirst time Tinker and Evers pullea the deception. 5 = 2
JIM VAUGHN, who tied up in a big league double no-hitter with Fred Toney until the 10th when Larry Kopf won the game for Toney, gets two speelal kicks out of reminiscing about the game. . One is that he, a southpaw, pitched nine hitless innings against nine right-handed batters without a ball being hit to the outfield and the other is that since that day over 50,000 people have told him they saw the game, including kids who would have been about two years old when the game was played in 1917. . . . There were actually about 7000 at the game. . . . Vaughn was pitching for the Chicago Cubs ana Toney for the Cincinnati Reds.
Godoy Is Sure of Victory Against ‘Soup Man Louiee’
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer SUMMIT, N. J, Dec. 26. —Weeks before the fight all of Joe Louis opponents talk a gloriously brave fight. It is weeks before Arturo Godoy will step into what we have nicknamed the hempen square with the Tan Tornado. We dropped into his training camp here recently and found him conversationally courageous to the well-known nth. “Louiee? He have what? Same as me. Two hands. Louiee? Everybody ‘fraid of him.

Hudson Hot
As Barons Are Beaten
Ronnie Scores Three Goals To Pace Local Hockey Team to 5-2 Win.
Having definitely proved once again their mastery over Cleveland’s vaunted Barons, the Indianapolis Capitals in general and Ron (Hutch) Hudson in particular moved on to New Haven where they (will take the ice in their next start tomorrow night. For it was Hudson's brilliant work at right wing last night that gave | the Capitals a 5-2 victory and | blighted Cleveland's hopes and | bitter did the Barons become that made the Barons bitter. In fact so the crowd of 3896 in the Coliseum here was treated to a general stickswinging fight that grew out of a collision between Herbie Lewis, Capitals’ manager, and Fred Robertson, Barons’ right defense man. The third period was only a few minutes old when these two tangled near the center of the rink and both drew major misconduct penalties from Referee Eddie Burke and were chased from the game. Lewis came off rather badly, receiving a gash in the forehead which took seven stitches to close.
Capitals Shorthanded
A Cleveland-Indianapolis hockey game has come to mean a rough and riotous contest, but last night's affair exceeded all past efforts of these two teams. Because of their victory, the Capitals left on their eastern road trip with a firmer hold on the leadership of the western division of the International-Amer-ican League. The Indianapolis triumph was the more pleasing to local partisans because the Capitals had only 12 play- | ers on the bench for the game as| compared with the full quota of 14 for the Barons. Big Eddie Bush received a bruised bone in his right leg at Cleveland Saturday night and joined Jack Keating on the sidelines. Hudson's specialty shots alone counted for the Capitals margin of victory over the Barons. He “turned the hat trick” by scoring three times, once in the first period and [twice in the third. Every time he waited for his front line teammate, Ken Kilrea, to try a long shot and after those had been turned aside he punched home the marker from close in.
K. Kilrea a Willing Helper
Ken Kilrea was given an assist on every one of Hudson's goals, while Buck Jones also was credited with an aid on his first one and Bowman on his second one. Hudson’s first-period score came after 17 minutes, and he turned on [the light in the third period at 2:02 and 18:58. Bob Whitelaw, Capitals defense man, scored an Indianapolis goal in 11:52 of the second period in what always is the most thrilling play in hockey, He stole the puck during a Baron rush, zoomed the length of the floor like a comet and banged the disc past Goalie Moe Roberts, who was |so confused he didn’t even make a play for it. For the other Indianapolis marker Jones, on an assist by Les Douglas, drilled one into the net in 14:15 of the third period.
Barons Score in a Hurry
It was in the wild third period (when both teams were playing with | just five men on the ice that Cleve|land counted its two markers and | they came within a space of 20 secfonds. Aussie Asmundsen got the
| first one in this rally in 16:15 on an|

Worry to Vols’
Cafego and Suffridge Due to See Little Action.
By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 26-Two of Tennessee's best players will start the Rose Bowl game with knees so bad that if they were horses they would be destroyed. One is George Cafego, all-America halfback, and the other is Bob Suffridge, all-America guard. Cafego is in such bad shape in the vicinity of his knees that he was unable to attend the Christmas party given to the team by Clarence Brown, famed Hollywood director and a graduate of Tennessee, Cafego was hurt in the game against The Citadel two months ago. Since then he has played a total of two minutes.
One. Block Will Tell
He didn’t get in the Vanderbilt game at all, lasted four plays against Kentucky, and went out on the second play against Auburn, It is even money he won't last more than one play against the Trojans of Southern California, Coach Bob Neyland says no one will really know his condition until the first block is thrown on him, “If he withstands the first block, he'll be in there for a while” Neyland says. “If he doesn't—well, we'll have to do without him.” Take it from me, an old authority on knees, Cafego won't even last one play, because he won't start. When you are in such shape that you can't ride 15 miles on a bus to the loveliest party ever given a Rose Bowl team, then you aren't going to be able to take the beat ing that such Southern Californians as Smith, Hoffman, Winslow and Sohn hand out.
Must Wear Brace Suffridge’'s injury has not been given as much publicity as Cafego's, but it is almost as bad. Suffridge will start, and may even last most of the game, but he won't be the guard he was last year. He showed me his knee yesterday, and even my unknowing eye recognized it as something strictly out of order. He will have to wear a brace on it, and the brace will rob him of a lot of his speed. And when you weigh 184 and are riding against men who weigh 200 or more, you need that extra speed. So, if you like the Vols, you will like them despite the fact that two of their key players won't be in action very long. And, in the way of advice, I would like to tell you that Cafego is head man of the club and

doing any good inside the tackles. Until Suffridge was hurt, I doubt if any of Tennessee's foes made as much as 20 yards inside the tackles. Suffridge may still prove to be a bulwark on defense, but on offense, when he must have drive and charge, he isn’t likely to be so hot. Your knees must be solid to launch you forward, fast and strong. When you talk with the Tennessee rooters out here for the game, you soon realize that they wish the team of last vear was here for the Rose Bowl. That was a better ball club, and a club that was hungrier for victory. This one has won a little too much for its own good. It is a little surfeited with triumphs and praise. Of course, it may get hungry all over again after U. S. C. knocks it flat on its back for a touchdown or two.
