THE couch-of-the-year idea was devised by the New York World-Telegram’s Joe Williams in 1935. . . . There is intense national ‘interest in this annual sports feature as it is strictly the McCoy. . . . The nation’s grid coaches name their cwn No, 1 man. : Under the World-Telegram rules, the voting coach is asked foi pick a first, second and third choice, but only first place votes count. . . . The alternate selections offer an interesting commentary ‘on the regard with which various coaches are held by their fellows. » + » Second place votes count only in case of a deadlock in first place votes. . All ballots are confidential. This Tens 363 head coaches were polled, plus six members of the designating board, composed of the chieftains of the six leading college conferences. In their ballots the coaches were asked by the World-Telegram to consider more than the winning record of the coach's team. . . . The coach’s handling of his players and his infiuence on them, plus his shrewdness as a tactician are other factors by which the coach should be judged. According to the World-Telegram, it is interesting to study the ‘ballots and note how many coaches cast their vote for rivals who may have beaten their club roundly. . . . Although they may be the ‘bitterest of rivals at game time, the coaches can perceive with practiced eye wher, a rival has done a good job of piloting his team and given them the plays that fit the squad's personnel.
Lafayette Coach Honored in 1937
~ THIS YEAR'S coach-of-the-year—the veteran Biil- Alexander . of Georgia Tech—is the eighth of the World-Telegram’s regal line. + . . Past winners: Lynn Waldorf, Northwestern; Dick Harlow, Harvard; E. E. (Hooks) Mylin, Lafayette; Bill Kern, Carnegie Tech; Dr. Eddie Anderson, Iowa; Clark Shaughnessy, Stanford; Frank Leahy, Notre Dame. It is interesting to note that in 1937 the coaches stepped out of the major circles and pinned the coach-of-the-year honor cn Hooks “Mylin of Lafayette . . . proving that the grid chiefs are not selfish in recognizing agility "and achievement.
Evansville and South Bend Score
PLEASE NOTE that the Hoosier state landed two players on Grantland Rice's all-America grid team. . . . Billy Hillenbrand, Indiana university, backfield, of Evansville, and Joseph Domanonvich, : University of Alabama, center, of South Bend. This department believes Bob Dove, Notre Dame end, like Hillenbrand, belongs on anybody's all-America. . . . But Bob didn’t make Rice’s 1942 selection. . . . Wonder if Rice picked his team before -Eoly Cross slaughtered Boston college? . . . He named twoEagles in his lineup. : ® ” » ” KJ ” GEORGE MCAFEE of Duke university and the Chicago Bears who played with the Jacksonville naval air station’s eleven this fall, has five brothers in the service. . . ., John is with the.coast guard, Clellan is a navy flier, Wes is in the army, Jack is in the navy and Captain Paul is an army doctor. . . . The McAfee boys are doing right well by their Uncle Sam.
: Our Indians Booted Ball Around
IN 139 games the last season Clyde McDowell, Indianapolis second sacker, made 32 errors. . . . The Indians’ infield turned in miscues in wholesale lots. . . . Joe Bestudik had 41 at third base in 154 games and Bill Skelley had 51 at shortstop in 144 games. . . . Johnny McCarthy got by with only 11 errors in 154 games at first base. 2 ‘McDowell, Bestudik and Skelley “led” the league at their position in booting the ball and throwing it away. . .. As a matter of fact, the Indians as a team, finished last in fielding by piling up miscues. .. . They also “led” the league in “left on bases.” . . . The combination of 8 weak defense and runners stranded kept them in the second division. . . . Bill Skelley also grounded into 18 double plays.

In fact, if it wasn’t {for Casselman’s three charity tosses in the final quarter, Shortridge would have gone scoreless and probably to deféat because of that period. Chris Fischer, the Golden Bears’ guard, topped the Shelbyville scoring with 13 points while Casselman got 12 for the Blue Devils, Shortridge led at the half, 18-10.
After the score had been tied, 42-42 at the end of the regulation playing time, McMillin sank a pivot shot and then Shafer banged in another to give. the New Castle quintet a four-point advantage in the extra period.

competition, which is being threat-
{ened by wartime travel restrictions.
The conference's 20-odd coaches,
| meeting here for their 26th annual]
confab, today were armed with a unified resolution favoring the continuance of athletic schedules “so The coaches were
faculties or college presidents to eliminate any part of the intercollegiate program in the major sports. In a roundtable discussion yesterday, coaches absorbed unity and volunteered supporting points for their resolution. The chief factor, on which all coaches agreed, was that: “Intramural sports can assist and be part of a physicial fitness program but cannot take the place of intercollegiate competition.” Other points introduced included:
Points Introduced
1 — Intercollegiate competition equips men for combat activity. 2—Athletic contests combat juvenile delinquency. 3—Unless athletic contests are sponsored by school authorities, the students will rebel and sponsor their own contests. Arthur L. Strum, Indiana State Teachers college coach, and Bill Slyker, Evansville college coach, originators of the blanket resolution, drew up the proposal to put the coaches in favor of continuing both basketball and football. I ‘However, Strum said that such minor sports as golf, which uses rubber and requires extensive travel, could be dropped.
To Restrict Travel
Coaches agreed to restrict travel to barest essentials by scheduling games with nearby opponents. “We can get all the competition we want close to home,” said Roy Tilletson, Franklin coach. Strum asserted that students will demand sports competition, that athletics were first sponsored by colleges to meet a student demand, and that abandonment of sports would be putting progress in reverse. “If we've got the boys, we should play, and if not, we won't play anyway. We can’t use Yhe girls,” Tillotson volunteered. Emphasizing the need for defeating the intramural plan as a possible substitute for intercollegiate competition, coaches asserted it was bad psychology to ask the boys to “beat each other when they want to combine to defeat someone else.” Local rationing boards are issuing “B” cards for team travel, and in some cases granting supplemental emergency gasoline, a consensus of coaching opinion showed.
TRIKE \
By FRED FITZSIMMONS A Big League Bowler, Too
HAVING your own ball is ideal, but not absolutely essential to becoming a finished bowler, ; Choose a ball that conforms with your physique—one you can handle. Don’t punish yourself by using a heavy ball purely for the sake ‘of vanity and “what the boys will think.” Many a kegler makes the mistake of choosing the heaviest or 16-pound ball only for the sake of personal satisfaction. The weight of the ball is not essential. You don’t have to roll it through the back wall to knock down all the pins. I use the heaviest ball because of my height and weight. I feel I can handle it. If you are of average size, select a ball ranging from 10% to 16 pounds. . NEXT: The grip.

Redskins Meet Chicago Bears
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (U. P). —The Washington Redskins get the chance they have been waiting for for two years tomorrow but unless all the dope is wrong—as it often is —it may prove embarrassing. For instead of getting revenge for the 73-0 beating they took in the 1940 playoff the odds are 5-1 that the Redskins aren’t going to crack the aura of invincibility that has been built up around the Chicago Bears when they meet at Griffith stadium for the professional football championship. The Redskins won the right—if you can call it that—to meet the Bears for the title by going through their 10-game schedule with nine victories. They didn’t have to meet the Bears along the way and so far as the other National league clubs are concerned they are welcome to their shot at the team that hasn't lost a game since early in the 1941 season when the Green Bay Packers turned the trick. But it may not be as bad as the dope indicates for so long as a team has Sammy Baugh throwing, it has a chance. Besides, this time the Redskins are going to go all out and, as Coach Ray Flaherty said, “This is one ball club they are going to have to beat on the field— we aren’t afraid of them.” Despite the prohibitive odds, a lot of pro people give Washington a good chance. They hold that so far as first teams are concerned there is little to choose between them. As a matter of fact, most pro coaches concede that the starting Washington lineup is the closest thing there is to the Bear varsity, unless it’s the Chicago second team. The Washington second line will do, too, but otherwise the Redskins don’t compare to the Bears in depth. There also is the law of |r averages, which is due to catch up with the Bears. one of these days.

Tami Knocks Out Nova in
Goofy Finish
NEW .YORK, Dec. 12 (U. P).— Promoter Mike Jacobs was considering today a match between young Tami Mauriello, the Bronx slugger,
and Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland or Harry Bobo of Pittsburgh, while unlucky Lou Nova was having additional X-rays taken of his battered ribs at St. Clare’s hospital. Nova spent the night at the hospital, after being knocked out in the sixth round by Mauriello in their scheduled 10-round encounter before 15,369 fans at Madison Square Garden. Nova, the bronzed California veteran, apparently was forsaken by yogi, the cosmic and the dynamic, last night because he had floored Mauriello in the first round and was winning the bout when the unexpected knockout came in the sixth. | /
Second Knockout
neutral corner—slugging away as they had done in every round of this primitive brawl-——when suddenly little Tami drove a left into Nova’'s body. Nova started to jackknife, his arms coming down, and Tami clipped him “with a right smash to the chin. Nova wilted to the canvas, face down, and lay there writhing with his head half under the ropes as Referee Billy Cavanagh counted him out at 2:43 of the sixth. It was the second time in. his career that 27-year-old Lou had taken the count. Champion Joe Louis turned the trick in September, 1941.
Goofy Finish
Although 22-year-old Mauriello had gone into the ring a 9-5 favorite, the knockout was completely unexpected, because the taller and heavier Californian had been winning the fight. At St. Clare’s hospital later, Dr. Vincent Nardiello, a boxing commission physician, said that Nova had suffered serious rib injuries in the fourth round and that the body blow in the sixth had finished him. It was such a goofy finish for the screwball Californian that everyone at the ringside wondered what had happened. The final right to the chin that wash-ragged Nova to the canvas didn’t seem to pack enough explosives to send into never-never-land the rugged yogi man, who, in one of his two victorious bouts with Maxie Baer, had taken seven consecutive looping rights to the button without batting an eye. The gross gate was $39,138-—and the fight was worth it.
