After that, Welch didn’t think they had much ¢hance of going to the Rose Bowl, but now he thinks they are going to make it. All-America at Purdue Welch, who is married and has two sons, earned his nickname when he was a “tagalong” youngster trying to get into games being played by older boys. He was a Sherman, Tex. high school athlete star and vlayed three seasons at Purdue under Jimmy Phelan in 1927, 1028 and 1920, earning almost unanimous acclaim as an all-Amer-iea back in Purdue's conference title winning year of 1920. Good enough to get several offers as a professional baseball player, Welch turned them down with the statement that “football is my e.” Instead he came to Washington with Phelan as freshman coachgn 1930 and was his aide for 11 years until Phelan was ousted in 1042. That year the Huskies nad a so-so record, but in 1943 went unbeaten until losing to Southern California in the Rose Bowl game. They also were drubbed by the Trojans last season, but certainly squared ac-

Nipper Is Back
At Shortridge After Navy Duty
Back in civilian clothes after naval service during the war, Grid Coach Bob Nipper of Shortridge expected to be on hand this afternoon to watch the Blue Devil practice session. Nipper, however, did not plan to displace Coach Tom Woods in the direction of the team. Woods has had charge during the 40 months Nipper has been in the navy. The former Butler university athlete was a lieutenant commander when discharged yesterday at Great Lakes. He served as a boat group commander on an attack transport in the southwest Pacific last year after first going in as a physical instruction officer, Nipper spent some time yesterday looking for “Tony” Hinkle, Butler coach, at Great Lakes, but said he couldn't locate him. Hinkle also expects an early release and return here.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (U, P).— The New York Yankees decided today to split the 1946 spring train-

Returning servicemen, 1945 regulars and rookies from the Yankee minor league network combined to! send the total to a record high. The Florida housing shortage also contributed to the split camp decision,

In trying to unlock the Navy puzzle you inevitably come to the head coach, Commander Oscar Hagberg. There is no in mincing words about the situation: body knows he has the material and everybody knows, too, the material is not playing up to its capabilitied. In a case of this sort the finger must point to the coach. And I guess that's where it

Hagberg is on the spot,
I hasten to add, however, I think this is unfair. If criticism is in order it should be directed at Navy policy rather than the coach. Up to last season Hagberg had been away from football for three or four years, and, so quickly does the formula of play change these days, that this practically amounts to a generation,
