Sinkwich Tops T. C. U. Gains; Georgia Wins

MIAMT, Jan. 2 (U. P).—Frankie Sinkwich, his accurate passing am and speedy feet, gave the University of Georgia its smashing 40-26 victory over Texas Christian Uni-

versity in the most colorful, thrillpacked football game in Orange Bow! history. Sinkwich took command on the opening play, before 35.505 gridiron fans. The 180-pound All-American halfback’s running and passing set up the first Georgia touchdown, scored by Ken Keuper after six plays. . Texas Christian took a short-lived fead a few minutes later, capitalizing on a Georgia error. Recovering Lamar Davis’ fumble on the Bulldogs’ 22, the Texans passed and battered their way to the 4, where Kyle Gillespie, T. C. U.’s star quarterback, rammed it over. Frank Medanich’s kick was good and Texas was ahead, 7-6. But from there on, the Georgians had things almost their own way. Sinkwich threw two touchdown passes—one to end Mel Conger and the other to back Clif Kimsey, before the period ended and the Bulldogs were in front, 19-7

Georgia didn't lose its scoring momentum in the second period, and in short order Sinkwich domihated the scene. He passed to Keuper, who bucked his way to the _ five and in a single play went over.

DALLAS, Tex. Jan. 2 (U. P).— Alabama's Crimson Tide rolled homeward today with its fifth vietory in seven bowl appearances, a

scored again, this time on a pass| from Jim Todd to Davis Revived by the rest between the halves the Texans came back on the sun-drenched field and took to the air with a success that was definite ly lacking in the early stages of the game. They scored on a pass from Emery Nix to Bruce Alford. The redoubtable Sinkwich, however, immediately offset this by sprinting 43 yards to the goal line on a faked pass. The Texans, warming to the task, completed two more aerials for scores in the final period, but the 12 points only tempered the sting of defeat. Statistics showed that Sinkwich single-handedly outgained the entire T. C. U. team, totaling 139 yards rushing to 101 for the Horned Frogs. The Georgians piled 12 first downs to T. C. Us 8, and excelled! in virtually every other department. Sinkwich attempted 13 passes and completed nine of them for a total of 241 yards. Four of his throws were intercepted.

Pitcher With Poke

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2 Harry Gumbert’s 202 is the best batting average turned in by a National League pitcher who figured in 100 innings or more in 1941. The right-hander, traded to the Cardinals by the Giants, had a pair of home runs among his blows.

The Royal Crown Colas lost a hard game yesterday. to the Lvons Independents, 35 to 34, in the last five seconds of play after the Colas had tied the score.

{Texas A. and M, who had never lost a bowl game before. The Aggies had the statistics all their way, but still they were sucked under by the Tide, whose big pull was Jimmy Nelson. This is what the fleet halfback did: He ran back a punt 72 yards to a touchdown through the whole A. and M. team, weaving and twisting, tacklers slipping off him like county fair contestants trying to hold a greased pig. He bruised his way with little interference, through a clot of Aggie tacklers 21 yards to a touchdown. He swished around end in a quick-maneuvered reverse to another touchdown without a hand being put on him, He also did the Alabama punting, tossed the one pass that accounted for the Tides 16 aerial yards and did his part of intercepting seven of the 42 passes the Aggies attempted.

Not All Nelson

Frank Thomas, coach of the Crimson, said “Jimmy played the greatest game of his career,” but Alabama was not all Nelson, nor was the game all Alabama. The Aggies, possibly the most successful passing team in the nation this last fall, threw more passes than a Bowl team did ever before. But although their three touchdowns were either directly or indirectly the result of those passes —~13 completed out of 42—the A. and M. overhead attack was not enough. Martin Ruby, the Giant Aggie tackle who played a whaie of a game and enlisted in the Naval Air Corps during the half, summed it up: “Three things beat us—Jim Nelson, our fumbles and passes that fell in their hands. But mostly it was Nelson. I guess you could say

id put the Full-Nelson on us.”

Linemen Win

For Fordham

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stalf Correspondent NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2.-—Re-member those hard-hitting, faststepping backs who were going to turn the Sugar Bowl game into a touchdown carnival? Well, they are still mired in the mud today while two lowly linemen carry around the major share of glory for leading Fordham to a 2-0 victory over Missouri. The winning play of yesterday’s game came with svartling suddenness after 5 minutes and 29 seconds of the first period, and most of the throng of 73,000 peering through a thick curtain of rain, didn’t see what happened. Even those who did see the play didn’t quite understand it. From its own 10-yard line Missouri was trying to punt out. Don Greenwood, Tigers’ substitute end and best kicker, was back to kick from the end zone. Rain was falling in torrents. Somehow Alex Santilli, 195-pound tackle from Everett, Mass,, smashed through Missouri’s left side and huried his chest in front of the ball as it came bounding off Greenwood’s toe. Then there was a mad scramble of Fordham players after it with Stanley Ritinski, 185-pound end from Luzerne, Pa. finally reaching the muddy oval. Skidding along on his belly, Ritinski clutched at the ball as he went out of the field of play. Steve Hudacek, Ram left tackle, and Stantilli were right on top of him. The nearest Missouri player was four or five yards away. The question was whether Ritinski had possession of the ball before he went over the end zone line, If he did it was a Fordham touchdown. If he didn’t it was a safety. Referee W. T. Holloran of Providence, R. I, ruled that Ritinski didnt have complete possession of the ball despite the fact that the Ram end got up with the ball in his arms.

Burris, Berries, Hatchets Win

By UNITED PRESS Three holiday tournaments last night bred a raft of eye-catching surprises and a few complete upsets, as Muncie Burris unmercifully trounced Ft. Wayne Central, Logansport snatched honors from host Anderson—and, of course, the Washington Hatchets yawned through to another triumph. At the risk of getting into a rut, Marion Crawley’s Hatchets confidently glided to victory in its fourteam playoff, sinking Huntingburg, 34-27, in the final tilt last night. In rounds, the Hatchets defeated Vincennes, 3426, and Huntingburg took the nod over Jasper, 29-24, Vincennes, falling off sharply in recent season play, downed Jasper, 32-27, in the consolation playoff. Jasper whipped Vincennes’ Alices, 35-26, in their scheduled game on Dec, 19.

11-0 For Hatchets

The tournament victories stretched Washington’s record this season to 11 victories and no defeats. The Hatchets ended their 1041 fall slate with unblemished record and started the new year off with the same zest that carried them to the state crown last spring. The Hatchets meet Bedford in their next contest on Jan. 9, However, the tourney of the night «for interest, thrills, upsets, color and possibly future significance— was the eight-game Muncie marathon which began Wednesday and wound up last night with Muncie Burris’ Owls facing Ft. Wayne Central in the title match. Central was touted and favored,

and easy tourney victories in its

But the Owls, electrified and red hot, left no doubt about the game as they soared the margin to a 6339 victory. Logansport’s Berries partly atoned for their recent loss to Monticello by sweeping over three of the North Central loops favorite sons to capture the Anderson invitational. The Berries walked over Anderson, 38-20, in the final game.

35 to 29, protecting a slim 21-18 halftime advan tage. It may be a different story tomorrownight against the service five, but if yesterday's performance is any criterion, the stars from the shores of Lake Michigan should have an interesting evening. The Middies, incidentally, were to arrive in Indianapolis today on their second invasion of Middle West basketball teams and will play Central Normal at Danville tonight. Butler found trouble at the beginning with Oregon State’s height. The Beavers started a five: that averaged about 6 feet 2 inches, even though their fine guard, Lew Back stands only 5 feet 11 inches. Offensive star for the Oregon State squad was John Mandic, a gangling, raw-boned, swarthy center 6 feet 4 inches tall whose only fault was a tendency to be a little awkward in handling the ball— awkward enough to lead the scoring for both sides with 12 points, Even First Half Woody Norris and Wib Schumacher, both hitting impossible shots from the side corner, led the Bulldogs with 10 and 8 points respectively. After an even first half in which the lead changed hands a dozen times, Butler scored seven points in the first minute of the second half and from that point was never headed. With Butler leading, 35 to 28 and two minutes yet to go, Mandic was fouled by Baumgartner, who had replaced Glenn Miller when the regular Butler center went out on fouls. Mandic made the free throw and then, with Coach Tony Hinkle pacing in front of the bench, the Bulldogs went on the defensive. Twice they took the ball out of bounds, refusing free throws when Norris was fouled and later when Schumacher was fouled. Oregon State ranged down the floor trying to force the Bulldogs to lose the ball, but the game ended just after Mandic went out on his fourth personal foul. The numbers man said that the Bulldogs made 13 field goals on 48 tries and nine charity tosses out of 14 attempts. Oregon State shot 44 times at the goal and made 10, seven of them in the first half. They got 16 tries from the free throw line and made nine of them also.

Keep Ball 15 Minutes

The official score is Oregon State 20, Duke 16, but that doesn't tell how the orphaned champions of the Pacific Coast turned back the Duke eleven which won the Southern

Conference title with nine straight triumphs to earn acclaim as the finest team the Durham campus ever has produced. You could just say that a record crowd turned out for a Rose Bowl game brought into its own backyard expecting to watch a cat play with a mouse and ending up watching grandma gobble the wolf. Oregon took the ball 20 seconds after the kickoff and held it for almost 15 minutes while marching 52 yards for a 7-0 first period lead gained by Bob Durdan’s 15-yard climax romp. A dozen minutes later Duke reeled off 70 yards for a score|gq and a conversion of its own to tie matters up at 7-7, but the State collapse expected never occurred.

Dethman Again

This time Gene Gray skirted end for 24 and Bob Dethman passed 30 more to George Zellick for the

booted the extra point. A second time Duke came back and, aided by a 24-yard penalty to the O. S. C. one, drew even again at 14-14. But here is where the lowly Beavers showed their mettle. It was Dethman pitching again, this time on a 62-yard pass play to Gray, and the safety scored by Duke in the last 10 minutes didn’t matter. All the story can’t be told in that scoring summary, but you can get the idea from the facts that the ball changed hands 12 times on fumbles or interceptions; that Durdan and Steve Lach of Duke averaged 464 and 478 yards on punts despite a steady rain; and that O. 8S. C. rolled up 302 yards and Duke 295. Oregon State roared homeward today, their first Rose Bowl appearance—odd though it was—a successful one. There were heroes aplenty—Quentin Greenough, Martin Chaves, Bill Halverson, Joe Day, Lach, Durdan, Dethman, Gray, Mike Karmagzin, ‘Bob Gantt, Tom Davis and many another—but the coaches themselves summed up the game, “They didn’t believe we were serious,” said Lon Stiner of Oregon. *“I guess my Rose Bowl luck has Just run out,” said Wallace Wade of Duke,
