Seahawks Will
Meet Missouri
Times Special IOWA CITY, Dec. 4~-The Sea-
hawk football team of the U. 8. navy pre-flight school will wind up
its 1942 season tomorrow in Kansas City, meeting Missouri, the Big Six champions. The Seahawks will be shooting for a season's record of eight wins and two losses after dropping their second’ game last week to Ohio State. The ‘game will mark the Seahawks’ second trip to Big Six territory, having opened their season with a 61-0 win over Kansas at Lawrence. But it will not be the same Seahawk team making this week’s trip. Cadet graduations, transfers, injuries anc illness have made over the traveling squad to the extent that less than half of the 36 men who faced Kansas will be available for the Missouri game. Exactly half of those on the trav-
| were on hand for the Seahaw game last week wit!: Ohio State. At least two of that 18 who went
to us will be =f behind this week injuries.

LIGHTW EIGHT LEE HATS ot cove 39s
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Indiana and Georgia were the oily states in the nation to place two men each on the first team of the United Press all-American football team which was announced today. The U. P. selections, chosen by sports writers from coast to coast,
included Billy Hillenbrand of Indiana university at one halfback post and Bob Dove of Notre Dame at end. Harvey Hardy of Georgia Tech and Frank Sinkwich of Georgia were the others selected from one state.
Hillenbrand received 466 and Dove 507 out of a possible total of
1045 points. As in past years, the*Midwest, with six players, again domingtes the team. The East placed three men and the South two. For the first time in many seasons the Far West failed to place a man on either
first or second teams. Three of the all-Americans are repeaters—Sinkwich, almost a unanimous choice—Dove and Dick Wildung, Minnesota tackle, Unlike last year, wnen the voting reflected the absence of any dominant player or players, the balloting this year brought out three men who ranked far above the others. They were Sinkwich, who received 1004 points out of a possible 1045; Wildung and Dave Schreiner,
Wisconsin's brilliant end. gSinkwich was given a first team berth on all but seven ballots.
He was named on the second team six times and was not mentioned on one ballot. Schreiner received 752 points and Wildung 718, The closest first team contest developed between Paul Governall of Columbia and Glenn Dobbs of Tulsa for the fourth position in the backfield. The Columbia passing ace won out by 12 points,

~ THE PACIFIC COAST league wants to remain in the baseball picture in 1943, or give it a try, at least, . . . It is reported that the Far West circuit will not play on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, confining all games to the latter part of the week, with double-
headers on Sundays. The Coast league always has had open dates Mondays because of the vast traveling distance from the northern to the southern sections—Washington and Oregon to California and southern California. . . . The extra days off will take care of wartime transportation delays. The Coast loop feels the pressure of war far more than the American association in not being permitted to play night ball. . .. Therefore, it is the feeling of the American association- that it's pretty well off, war, player shortage, gas rationing and transporta« tion difficulties notwithstanding. . : The Atlanta club reported it led *the Southern association in attendance the past season although Atlanta was subject to gas rationing almost all summer. . . . Canada has been at war more than three years, yet Toronto and Montreal reported their International league teams played before big crowds in 1942, . The Indianapolis club is more affected by local transportation difficulties than any team in the American association. . . « The Tribe "park was built exclusively for a motoring public, , « . All other teams in the A. A. have fair streetcar connections.
Ownie Bush 1s Willing to Sacrifice LOCAL TRANSPORTATION in 1943 is the Indianapolis Indians’ biggest problem because it is doubtful if the special ball park busses operating from the- Circle as in past seasons will go back in service next year. At the current baseball convention in Chicago, Tribe PresidentManager Owen J. Bush said it in this fashion to the press: “Pere sonally, I'd rather the American association didn’t operate next year, but=I'll go along’ with the rest: Pm willing to lose a little to keep the game alive, but I don’t want to be hurt too badly.” The Indians are not worrying too much about players. They are better off in talent than the average big minor club at this time.

8t. Louis Browns. , . . Babe Dahlgren was obtained to replace Johnny Moarthy-at ff base and the hole at third can be plugged by using Left r °Gil English there. . . . Gil formerly was one of the best third sackers in the league. Pitchers lost are Earl Reid, sold to Brooklyn, and Woodie Rich, drafted by the Browns. . . . Joe Bestudik, 1942 third sacker, is in the navy but still the property of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who bought his contract.
Old Gabby Lands at Jersey City GABBY HARTNETT, the Indianapolis Indians’ 1942 manager, is back in the New York Giants* organization, this time as playing manager of the Jersey City International league club, the Giants’ class AA farm. . . ., Jersey City is in the army dim-out area and the veteran Gabby, at 2, won't be hampered by night ball on the home grounds. Hartnett wasn’t brought up on night ball and it cramped his play in Indianapolis last season. . . . His Jersey City contract calls for two years. . . . He succeeds Frank Snyder, who resigned the post. Gabby served as player-coach with the New York Giants in 1941, prior to coming to Indianapolis, after spending many seasons as the Chicago Cubs’ No. 1 catcher and later as their player-manager for two and a half years,

N. B. A. President Charges
By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 4—Consolidation of minor league territories to form closer-knit organizations was advocated today as a step which may save the game’s structure during the wartime emergency. W. G. Bramham, president of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues and czar of the minors, regarded the proposal favorably although no definite plan for its accomplishment was proposed at the league's annual convention,
“The coalition of the stronger clubs from two or more circuits to form one. financially sound circuit with adequate player material may be necessary to keep the minors going in 1943,” Bramham said. -
Would “Freeze” Franchises
“There are many cases where clubs in two leagues are splitting a territory and conditions do not warrant both of them operating. If the leagues are willing to grant permission we may take the members of one circuit into the other for’ the duration. The franchise of the clubs forced to drop out under such circumstances would be ‘frozen’ and could be reclaimed after the war ends.” : This plan has been suggested for the Southern association and - the Southeastern league. Two clubs in the Southern, a class “A” league, are reported “shaky” and uncertain of operation. Clubs not affiliated with the Southeastern are reported ready to fill those vacancies since their own circuit probably will not operate. :
Loops Could Continue
The same situation exists in the Piedmont and the Virginia State leagues where club swaps may be engineered to keep one of the loops going. One veteran minor league operator favoring the consolidation of territories said: “Such a move would be getting us back to an elemental point for successful operation. In the early days of baseball the circuits were formed of cities within a short radius of each other. But as the game mushroomed the leagues spread out their territories and in many cases they've become unwieldy.”

in Title Plan
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The New
York Boxing commission today an-
nounced another new lightweight championship setup which was denounced immediately as a “double cross” by Abe J. Greene, president of
the National Boxing association.
The New York fistic fathers said that the winner of the 15-round bout between Tippy Larkin of Garfield, N. J.,, and Beau Jack, Georgia
Negro, at Madison Square Garden, Dec. 18, would be recognized as champion, succeeding Sammy Angott, who retired last month from the throne. Under this plan, the new champion must defend the title against the winner of a tournament among 13 eligibles, The defense must be made within 60 days after the tournament ends. Meanwhile the new lightweight ruler would forfeit the title and $1500 if he defended against anyone except the tourney winner. . Co-operated on Plans The New York commission took this action without consulting Presidet Greene of the N. B. A, Greene charged at Paterson, N. J. New York state is not a member of the N. B. A, but last week the New Yorkers and Greene apparently were co-operating in “determining a new 135-pound king. They signed a joint statement on Nov. 24, providing for another type of tourney in which the ultimate winner would be champion. Mr. Greene said, “I thought everything was all set, until I heard of today’s announcement, which is an outright double cross of the N. B. A. and. a punch below the belt at boxing. The New York commission is always talking about hare mony and settling title disputes, put this is the kind of harmony they hand us—a scheme to foist a
“I won't say definitely whether we will or will not recognize the Larkin-Beau Jack winner as cham pion, but you can draw your own De We of the N. B. A. will announce our own lightweight program shortly.”

Tony's Sailors To Face Irish
Times Special CHICAGO, Dec. 4~—Tony Hinkle'’s
Great Lakes Bluejackets, unscored|§
upon in six straight games and winner of eight of 11 contests this season, bumps headon into Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish tomorrow at
Soldier Field. Approximately 50,000 &= ib
are expected to see the battle. It’s the last game of the season for both teams and it will give
| Hinkle's charges an opportunity to
establish themselves as worthy successors t0 the unbeaten navy team in 1918, which the Irish held to a 7-7 tie that year. : The bulky Bluejackets line, averaging 214 pounds per man, faces its most severe defensive test since the opener at Michigan Sept. 26. In addition to Bertelli they'll have to stop sharp thrusts off Notre Dame’s “IT” by such men as Corwin Clatt and Jerry Cowhig. Great Lakes and Notre Dame have played four mutual opponents —Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Northwestern. Each lost convinecingly to Michigan and defeated Illinois by one touchdown. Notre Dame tied Wisconsin, which defeated Great Lakes, 13 fo 7. The Bluejackets whipped a tired Northwestern eleven, 48 to 0, one week after Notre Dame defeated the Wildcats, 27 to 20.
