By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—If history is an accurate measuring stick, and in football it usually is, the impending meeting of Fordham and Missouri in the Sugar Bowl should provide most of the mighty passing, breakaway running and otherwise spectacular offensive maneuvering which will go to make up the far flung gridiron program on New Year's
Day. With no slight toward the th
ree rival post-season engagements
intended, it is obvious that if fans are looking for thrills and chills the

game. with an average of 345. But even that doesn’t tell the whole story,
for more than 50 per cent of the|
61 touchdowns scored by these teams were produced by plays which covered 30 yards or more.
Odds Favor Fordham
The current odds favor Fordham
in the betting at 8-5 but these are expected to shorten, and well they may. For Fordham is not a strong team on defense, and the games which the Rams have won they have taken by out-scoring their opponents rather than nursing slim leads. used by Missouri, has proved plenty potent. On the record, there is little to choose between these squads. Missouri has the edge on rushing and

The Tigers rate slightly|
higher on defense and, although | : ; there is no common basis for com-|
parison, the figures are so close the game can be decided by a single break. Here is how the two of them stack up:
OFFENSE—Fordham has scored F
180 points in eight games, gained 2654 yards—1712 rushing and 942 passing—and piled up 115 first downs for averages of 22.5, 332 and 144. Missouri, meanwhile, scored 227 points, amassed 3104 yards— 2771 rushing and only 339 passing— | and made 122 first downs for break- | down figures of 26.2, 345 and 13.8.
DEFENSE — Missouri has a big margin here on points, giving up only 37 in nine games for a 4.1 average, while the Rams were pierced for 67 in eight for an 84 average. Complete Missouri defense figures are not available but Fordham gave up 1261 yards for a 157 average and 50 first downs for a 6.2 average. MANPOWER—Missouri has the probable stronger line and Fordham the more versatile and deeper backfield. The Tigers have 16 lettermen on a squad of 36 and the Rams have 15 lettermen on a squad of 44.
COACHING -— Jim Crowley of | Fordhant is a one-time Four Horseman from Notre Dame who has worked at Georgia Tech as an assistant and head coach at Michigan State before coming to Fordham and running up his all-time record to 94 victories, 22 defeats and 10 ties. Don Faurot went to Missouri in 1935 after an obscure beginning and has won 40 games while losing 19 and tying seven. "His team played in the Orange Bowl in 1940,
SYSTEMS — Fordham uses a modified Notre Dame system of attack, dolled up with lateral pass plays and accenting passing this year. Steve Filipowicz, the fullback, is the triple threat man and the fullback position carries the brunt of the passing and kicking. The left half also runs while the quarter is a signal caller and blocker only. Faurot this year switched to the| T formation and his team has! grown steadily stronger since losing its opener to Ohio State. Harold | Adams is the key man in the at-

tack but usually hands the ball to Harry Ice, who either fakes or passes to Bob Steuber. Missouri doesn’t use the T on all plays and also works with or without the huddle. OUTSTANDING PLAYERS Fordham offers Steve Filipowicz and Jim Blumenstock as its best backs, although Joe Andrejco follows them closely. Jim Lansing, an end, was widely nominated for All-America teams, is the best lineman. Missouri’s Darold Jenkins was selected as the United Press All-America center while Wade, Steuber and Ice are three outstanding running backs.
Irish to Play Illini Tonight
Times Special
NOTRE DAME, Dec. 23.—Coach George E. Keogan, Irish basketball mentor, stayed at home today. as his charges entrained for their game tonight at Champaign with the University of Illinois. The veteran Notre Dame coach is still under doctor’s orders not to travel with the team. Pifteen men made the trip. They were: Forwards, Butler, Niemiera, Hiller, Curran, Sturm, Vinciguerra; centers, Quinn, Faught, Kuka; guards, Rensberger, Capt. Pope, Bonicelli, Singer, Fischer, O'Leary. Quinn advanced to the starting position at center yesterday over sophomore Faught. Either Bonicelli, a sophomore, or Capt. Pope, appeared likely to take Jim Engle’s place at guard. Engle did not make the trip.

Ry UNITED PRESS Indiana’s 1941 diary of high school sports can be locked and stored in posterity’s attic to yellow and fade, but three names that dominated its pages—Washington, Lew Wallace of Gary and North Side of Ft. Wayne —will remain indelible as the victorious champions of a torrid sports year. The Washington Hatchets copped the “Rose Bowl, Kentucky Derby, World Series all rolled into one” of Hoosierland—the State High School Basketball Tournament, while Lew Wallace emerged from the jumbled gridiron race as Indiana's No. 1 eleven, and North Side captured the State Track Meet.
Baseball Is Out With baseball played only spottily in prep loops, the basketball-foot-ball-track trio divided the State with two northern champs and one deep-south leader. Always a cause of civil war between North and South-State, the hardwood cage race narrowed until two southern schools, Washington {and Madison, faced Kokomo of [Central Indiana and Gary Froebel of the Far North in the State final tournament last March. The Hatchets and the Madison Cubs gave the South a right to secede from the State on grounds of superiority when they took champion and runner-up positions respectively. The Hatchet victory marked a year of “stumble-and-improve” tactics as Coach Marion Crawley nursed his lads to their peak at tourney time. Under Crawley’s system of “lose a game or two but learn the fundamentals,” the Hatchets developed. Crawley’s current issue of Hatchets is working under the same rule, but has disregarded the “lose a game or two” clause. To date the boys are undefeated in their present campaign with eight straight victories. Only Delphi blocks the way to an unmarred finish of the 1941 yearbook.

impetus to a three-team race that continued tooth and nail to the end. The crown was tossed like a hot potato among Lew Wallace, Elkhart and South Bend Washington until fans doubted if they ever would get a single champ from the jumble, However, with nine games expired in its 10-game limit, Elkhart conceded the eastern division title to Washington, hoping the South Benders would defeat Lew Wallace in the northern loop playoff. This plan allowed Elkhart a chance to meet Washington later for the State championship, But Gary's Lew Wallace Hornets had other plans. They upset the dope by defeating Washington and claimed the State crown. Then Washington downed Elkhart in a post season game to further assure Wallace's superiority. There wasn't much doubt left after the state track meet in Indianapolis. Everyone agreed that North Side was the rightful winner, with 34 points piled up. But the race for runnerup spots was nfbre hotly contested. Ft. Wayne's South Side squad finally nosed out a second place by rounding up 21 points, but Hammond High and Washington of East Chicago deadlocked for third position with 19 points each. In the wake of the three-sport| champs, 1941 produced many sat-| ellite teams, not quite good enough to win, but great background for a year of peak production in thrills, tight races ati individual stars.

Steelers Get Bill Dudley
CHICAGO, Dec. 23 (U.

Bruce Smith, Minnesota's AllAmerican back and named “Player of the Yéar,” was the 11th choice of the Green Bay Packers and 119th on the list, because of his anticipated entry into the armed services. First choice of the other nine professional elevens was: Cleveland, Jack Wilson, Baylor back; Philadelphia, Pete Kmetovic, Stanford back; Chicago Cardinals, Steve Lach, Duke back; Detroit, Bob Westfall, Michigan back; Washington, Urban Sanders, Texas back; Brooklyn, Bobby Robertson, Southern California back; New York, Merle Hapes, Mississippi back; | Green Bay, Urban Odson, Minne-

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The twin figures of Greg Rice, unchallenged ruler of the world’s distance runners and Cornelius Warmerdam, the only 15-foot vaulter in history, ruled the track world in 1941. Rice, the former ace now carrying the colors of the New York Athletic Club, won 15 races at two and three miles from January through June and broke his own indoor two-mile mark with
an 8:51.11 performance on a Chicago track. This time was also better than the as-yet-un-accepted world outdoor mark of 8:532 set by Finland's. Taisto Maki. W ar merdam, clearing 15 feet seven times in four meets, boosted his own record from 15 feet 1% inches to 15 feet 5% inches in a series of performances on the West Coast. Among the milers, Leslie MacMitchell, N. Y, U.’s sensation, finally came inte his own. He won the IC4A, NCAA and Senior AAU titles and ran the fastest mile of thé year, a 4:074 which equalled the great Glenn Cunningham's competitive record. MacMitchell also led N. Y. U. to its first IC4A team championship and won the IC4A cross-country varsity crown for the third and final year. Prominent among world recordbreakers were Grover Klemmer, University: of California freshman, Les Steers, University of Oregon freshman, Archie Harris, Indiana discus thrower, Al Blozis, Georgetown shot putter, and Joe McCluskey, the New York A. C.’s veteran steeplechaser. Klemmer broke the world record for 400-meters with a 46 seconds performance at Philadelphia and equalled the 46.4 seconds mark for 440-yards. Steers soared over the high jump bar at 6 feet 11 inches: while Harris heaved the discus 174 feet 8% inches. Blozis flipped the 16-pound shot 56 feet 4 inches and McClusky, a top figure for a decade, brought the two-mile steeplechase indoor record down to 9:35.4. Other world records were established by the University of California's one-mile relay (3:09.4), a two-mile quartet from the same institution (7:34.5), John Borican of Elberon, N. J., at 600 yards indoors (1:10.2), Rice at three-miles indoors (13:51); Earl Meadows of Tos Angeles in the pole vault indoors (14 feet 7% inches); and N. Y. U.’s medley relay (7:25.3). Fred Wolcott, blond timber-top-per from Snyder, Tex., equalled the world mark of 0:13.7 in the 110meter and 120-yard high hurdles, while Hal Davis of Salinas Junior College, of California, equalled Jesse Owens’ 100-meter ‘mark of 10.2 seconds.
