Red Likes the Navy's Power Over Army at Philadelphia

By RED GRANGE

Times Special

Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.—In a time of national crisis, it is fitting that Army and Navy should send two unusually capable, fighting football squads’ to meet in their annual classic here Saturday.

The service schools have taken

the defense motif to heart. Each

has enjoyed a successful season. The teams have shown a competitive spirit that bodes well for our fighting forces.

Lobert Named Phillies’ Boss

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26 (UP.).— John (Hans) Lobert, veteran baseball player and coach, today was named manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for 1942 to succeed J. + Thompson (Doc) Prothro. Lobert, 59, served under the last » two Phillies managers as coach. He has been with the club since 1933. “Lobert has made a very sincere and fine effort for the Phillies and there is no question but what he has earned the opportunity,” President ‘Gerald Nugent said. “Prothro was a very fine associate to the team and + ga marvelous man to have but things did not break Tight and it was not his fault. The Phillies under Prothro the last three years have finished jin the cellar each season in the National League. Blue-eyed, prowa-haived .and of German extraction, Lobert gained the nickname “Hans” trying to play like the immortal Hans Wagner. “I realize 1 Yarve a big job: ahead]

of me, but I am going out and do}

my best,” Lobert said. “Nugent gave me the privilege of making any deal I can to help the club, yt I do not know what I will do ye! “As far as any deals go, all they want to do is give you a good straw hat for an overcoat. We haven't a bad club and I have lots of confidence in our boys.”

Votes for Middies

Service teams are invariably’ up for this game and with 105,000 persons in the stand, it should -be a corker. I'm casting my vote for the Middies. They have two-team depth while the Cadets are a oneland Army. Swede Larson has two fine backs in Bill Busik and Howie Clark and, in my opinion, better all-around strength and balance. Boston College and its fleet and bruising backs should repel Holy Cross. Fordham is the final headache on New York University’s schedule. Pittsburgh should close well in Pitt Stadium —against the “de-|P® emphasized” = football nobody of today, Carnegie Tech. : In the battle for the Pasadena Rose Bowl nomination, we have Stanford tackling California in the

greatest spectacle of them all, Oregon meeting Oregon State, and Washington tangling With Southern California.

Stanford, He Says -

I'm picking Stanford, Oregon State and Washington, but with no great degree of confidence in any case. Theyre all dog fights. Going south, Mississippi, with a fine running attack, should belt a club like Mississippi State. Georgia Tech hasn't too much with which to stop Frank Sinkwich, not to mention the remainder of the Georgia team. Vanderbilt may well suffer the inevitable reaction after beating Alabama and may fall before Tenhessee in Knoxville. Penn State's strong aggregation should give South Caroling a rough afternoon in Columbia. Michigan State should repel West Virginia at Morgantown. Hot and cold Tulane figures to massacre Louisiana State, Clemson College to beat Auburn. Oklahoma has a good ball club and I look for Jack Jacobs and Co. to, whip Nebraska. Marquette is too strong for Iowa State. Emery Nix and Texas -Christian is- my choice over -Southern Meth-

Independent League at South Side Turners :

By RICHARD M. MOREHEAD - United Press Staff Correspondent

COLLEGE STATION, Tex, Nov.

26—Two of the nation's great

football scoring machines meet here tomorrow in a game which will produce at least one and maybe two Bowl contenders~and the 17-year-old jinx that the home team never is beaten will ride this time on’the

side of Texas A. & M.

The Aggies, one of the four ‘undefeated, untied squads in the na-

tion, go against the unpredictable

Longhorns of Texas U. and. critics

are agreed that the contest is one of passing versus rushing, with any little break likely to cetermine the winner.

THE AERIAL EDGE goes to the Aggies, who—thanks to sharpshooting Derace Moser and jitterbug Bill Henderson—have spanned 1354 yards on passes in eight games.. The rushing advantage belongs to the Longhorns, who in the same amount of playing time have rolled up

1834 yards on the round.

“As goes Moser and Henderson, the latter boy an end whose hand- .

spread is just three-quarters of an inch less than a foot, so will go the Rose Bowl dreams of the Aggies. They've already clinched the Southwest Conference title and the Cotton Bowl bid is theirs for the asking, but theyll be out there pitching in the direction of Pasadena,

Hold Ball Right To Bowl Well

By JOE FALCARO Great tch Game Bowler - HOLDING the ball is a matter of individual taste. There are several styles. The best rule is to do it as naturally as possible, As I said previously, there are two and three hole balls. Most beginners prefer the three hole sphere since the extra finger gives you:added control. In a three-hole ball, the thumb and second and third fingers are the working digits, the first and fourth fingers are non-working. ” » 8 NON-WORKING fingers should be spread slightly to aid in controlling, delivering and putting

spin on the ball. It is unwise to assume any freak deliveries, even if you have seen some star doing so. The thumb should be inserted about three-quarters of the depth of the hele. This gives you a free release. As you will see later, in

A PROPER stance is essential. Set your feet four or five inches apart. This affords you complete relaxation. Assuming you are right-handed, place the ball in the palm of your left hand, about waist high. Insert your fingers in the ball, recommend standing in the center of the approach directly in front of the head pin. ‘This gives you the best position 38 Jake a full view of your alley

Forfeited Game

Beech Grove will get another chance to clinch the championship of the City football senior league Sunday at Christian Park. The Beech Grove team refused to play the Gold Medal Beers last Sunday on a snow-covered field and Referee Jimmy Clark forfeited the game to the Beers. Beech Grove protested. Team managers upheld the protest at a meeting last night and ordered the game played Sunday. A defeat will fcrce Beech Grove to share the title with Pendleton. A win will give them undisputed possession of the crown.

| THE STATISTICS SHOW that the Aggies hold the edge in passing, punting, returning punts and total scoring. On defense they have a better record in points yielded, enemy yardage from rushing and passing, and the number of passes completed by opponents. Texas has the advantage on running, first cowns, kick-off returns and fewer

pass interceptions.

The jinx is squarely on the side of A. & M. No matter whether the locale was College Station or Austin, the home team in this bitter rivalry hasnt been beaten in 17 years. As well, the Aggies will go into the game with one of the best records in the nation—only one

defeat in 33 games.

Vandy Started Year Pegged

|For Cellar, Sanders Said No

Following is another dispatch in which the United Press selects a coach of the week. Today the crown is awarded to Henry (Red) Sanders of Vanderbilt, team decisively defeated Alabama on Saturday. Next week the United Press W present the last dispatch in this series by naming a coach of the year. BY JACK GUENTHER : United Press Staff. Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—His players began the season cAmiarkal for

the cellar slot of the Southeastern it this week with a rousing bid for

Conference bracket but they'll end a New Year's Day bowl plum. The

United Press presents as coach of the week—Henry (Red) Sanders, the one-time bench warmer who has revived Vanderbilt as a football power

in Dixie. Red Sanders is a 155-pound allaround athlete who sat on the sidelines three years during his own college days and then waited 13 seasons for his big chance as a coach. Despite a scarcity of material and despite the defeatist complex which always sets in when a team suffers its worst year,” he has made good that first chance faster than ever he expected.

Most Successful Season

Sanders first. drew attention in Nashville. as a skinny “kid "who lugged a football around. the vacant lots of the east side clad in a tattered crimson sweater. The sweater gave him his nickname—'Red”— and it has followed him ever since; through an undistinguished . football career at Vanderbilt 15 years ago, through five minor jobs, and now through what may prove the most successful Commodore season since the sport was introduced in 1890. This 36-year-old rookie in the head coaching ranks was born in North Carolina, prepped in Georgia then — enrolled — at Vanderbilt in 1923. For three seasons he understudied - All-America Bill Spears at quarter and played only one full game. That was: his last, against Sewanee in 1926. Spears broke an ankle and ‘Sanders beat ‘Bama,

.113-0.

Sophomores Galore

Although he had captained the baseball team and starred at basketball, Red made football his career. He assisted Josh Cody at Clemson, ran up 55 victories and two ties in 61 games at Columbia and Riverside Military Academies, then spent a year as assistant. at

both Florida and Louisiana State.

In 19390 Ray Morrison won only two games at Vandy, and the call went out for Sanders to come home. When he answered the call he found his alma mater all but deemphasized. He had to rebuild from the bottom up, and did. He scouted prep schools for material and in September of 1940 an un-

men enrolled at Vandy. While they were being schooled Sanders lost six games with the varsity, mainly because he lacked reserves. When the season opened this year the fans expected more of the same, but they forgot one item.

That was the grop of coming

sophomores. With these sophs and hard, straight tactics devoid of

| complicated tricks, Sanders moves

against Tennessee on Saturday with a record of eight victories in nine games. If Vandy defeats the Vols, then the Commodores will hold a good hand in the bowl games—and Sanders can be thanked. His handling of men is what did it. Eleven of the players on Vanderbilt’s small squad of 33 boys worked at different positions before Sanders took them in hand and converted them. A. good example is Jack Jenkins, a guard at one time and now the
