(Photo by Hugh Morton) Gilmer, Tide Sock LSU 41-12 Then Accept Sugar Bowl Bid TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Nov. 22 — (U.R) —Alabama, a rampaging outfit blessed by the presence of Harry Gilmer who rocketed 92 yards for a score the first time he got the ball, smacked and smeared Louisiana State 41 to 12 today before 25,000 over joyed homecoming fans, and then accepted a bid to play in the Sugar Bowl New Year’s Day. The tides rival will be an nounced next week. Gilmer was celebrating the birth of a baby daughter and no papa ever went on a bigger spree. If he is not made all America after today’s perfor mance Alabama is ready to se cede from the union. But it was a beautifully gear ed Alabama team, timed to the split-second throughout the game, that ran up its biggest score of the season and humili sted an LSU eleven regarded as one of the south’s best. After Gilmer ignited the powder keg, Alabama exploded with 21 points in the first 11 minutes and 15 seconds of play and after that there wasn’t much Louisi ana could do but concentrate on building character. Alabama backs made a cin dertrack out of LSU’s beefy but baffled defenders and the visi tor,; didn't ring the scoring reg ister until after the Crimson Tide bad piled up 35 points. Norman fThe Monk) Mosley, Gilmer’s understudy, was al most as good as Harry while the star was out of the game. Davidson Romps Over The Citadel, 28-7 CHARLESTON, S.

Fullback Lowell Tew ripped the Tiger line to shreds and a young brute named Red Noonan set up the last touchdown with a kick off return that was one of the day’s shining plays. But as in every one of Ala bama’s six straight victories after two early losses Gilmer was the lad with the golden touch. LSU rambled downfield with the opening kickoff but stalled on entering Alabama territory. Rip Collins put the toe into one and Gilmer took it on his eight-yard line. Three LSU men converged—on each other —because Gilmer was at mid field by that time. He streaked down to the 10 yard line where Rebel Steiner took out a pesky LSU chaser and Gilmer scored. The Tide was right. LSU fumbled the first play after the kickoff and Tex O’Sul livan recovered for Alabama on the LSU 25. Gilmer rammed for five and LSU was penalized to its five for roughing little Har ry. Gilmer sliced to the one and Tew thundered across. LSU came to life and scored after Rusty Heroman broke loose for 44 yards on a reverse to the Alabama one where he was snared by Red White. Rip Collins bucked across. Ironically, LSU led in first downs 10 to 7 but Alabama was more interested in touchdowns. Score by periods: Alabama—21 7 7 6—41. LSU—0 0 6 6—12.

Sales And Service —Authorized Dealer— ANDERSON'S SPORTING GOODS 221 Princess St. Dial 2-2442 Mustangs Win, 10-0 Clinch Bowl WfifO, Tex., Nov. 22. — (/P) — The great Doak Walker pulled another one out of the fire today as he led Southern Methodist in I a last quarter assault that brought the Methodists a 10-0 vi ctory over Baylor to clinch a tie for the Southwest Conference championship and the host spot in the Cotton Bowl. The Mustangs battered at the burly, fighting Bears for 54 min utes of the game without coming close to scoring before Walker raced in as the Methodists made their deepest penetration— the Baylor nine yard line. Calmly the chunky little'man place-kicked the ball between the goal posts from the 16. Wal ker then sparked a 57-yard drive that cashed in with a touchdown with only 35 seconds to go. It was Walker’s 24-yard dash down the sidelines that put the ball on the Bear seven. Paul Page sped around left end for the touch down. Walker kicked the extra point — his seventeenth out of nineteen tries this season. Walker was in the game all except three plays. It was short ly after his reentry that the scor ing came. A crowd of 12,000 sat in biting cold and watched the struggle on a gridiron ankle deep in mud. For three days it had rained and a high school game on the field last night had reduced it to a virtual quagmire. Duke Knocked From SC Title; Lose 12 Yards Rushing; Va. Passes Fail .. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 22—(IP)—Furiously fighting North Carolina State jumped on a fourth-quarter fumble today and drove over a touchdown to upset favored Virginia 7-2 be fore 16,000 fans. y Virginia, stopped short of the goal line, pulled ahead in the third quarter when end Bob Weir nailed State fullback Les lie Palmer in the end zone as Palmer tried to pass.

Mack Selects Red Sox As1948PennantT earn PHILADELPHIA, Nov 22. — —Connice Mack today picked his old friend Joe McCarthy Red Sox as the club to beat in the American League next year. “If they don’t win the pennant they’ll give whoever does an aw ful chase,’ said the Philadelphia Athletics manager - owner, who will be 85 next month. New York will be a strong contender to repeat, he con tinued, and Cleveland, another buyer at the Brown’s bragain counter, “will be lots stronger too.” “But,’ said Mack spreading his hands in a gesture of I-dont know - what - I’ll - do - about it. “The Red Sox will be awfully good. My, my, how we could have used that Stephens (short stop Vernon Stephens, bought from the Browns by the Red Sox) in our infield. “And McCarthy is a wonderful manager. He just seems to get a little more out of the players than anyone else. “That’s no reflection on Joe Cronin,” Mack hastened to add. “Joe did a very fine job last year. If his pitchers had only come through as he had a rigln to expect, he would have won.” Mack, who has been unable to make a major trade or purchase since the season needed, said the Athletics had been bidding for pitcher Bob Muncrief, one of the players sold to Cleveland by the Browns. He didn’t mention any purchase price but added that “We would have had him, too, from what general manager'Eill DeWitt of the Browns t~lls us, if DeWtit could have reached me by telephone. “My goodness, I don’t know what happened for I was home both nights he said he called.” by JACK VOORHEES Star-News Staff Writer DUKE STADIUM, Durham, Nov. 22 — Breaking a 10-year jinx of not having defeated Duke University on its home field since 1937, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels smeared the Duke Blue Devils 21-0 in the mud here today be fore 56,000 rabid football fans, the largest crowd ever to wit ness a sports event in Dixieland between Baltimore and New Or leans. In winning decisively, Caro lina greatly strengthened its chances of winning an Orange Bowl bid if it defeats Virginia next Saturday at Chapel Hill. It was Charlie Justice all the way today. The Carolina Choo Choo, aided and abetted by Wal ter Pupa and Bob Cox, took all that Duke had, shook it off, and gained consistently. Duke’s loss knocked it out of the conference title. Justice scored two of the three touchdowns and passed to Cox for another. He scored the initial points for Carolina early in the second quarter with a v/ide run around end and flipped a pass to Cox for another 45 seconds before the end of the half. Steady and sure of them selves, the boys from the Hill under Coach Carl Snavely took the air at the outset and gained consistently throughout the aft ernoon via the overland route. They piled up first down after first down against the Dukes both on aerials and in rushing, but lost a tremendous amount of yardage for penalty after penalty. STATISTICS Duke N. C.

Duke was bottled up and smothered from the start and showed little class. And Dukes Coach Wallace Wade, had no tricks up his sleeve to help to day. The Blue Devils star. Fred Folger, Jr., vainly attempted a number of passes, but was thwarted in virtually every at tempt. Carolina had him bottled up on running plays and threw him for losses several times. Soon after the start of the sec ond half, Justice went over on a pass from Pupa for the third and last touchdown of the game. Cox missed every point try after touchdown, but made up the three points with a beauti ful field goal from an angle on the 22 yard line just before the The Tar Heels, who donned their togs in their own dressing room over at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill and then rode over to Tobacco town in full regalia wore white gloves for the sec ond week in succession to cut down fumbles from slippery balls. Twice Duke recovered fum bles once on the Carolina 25 yard line and once on the 35, but they could do nothing with the opportunity, being forced to kick each time when they failed to gain. That was as close as they ever came to scoring ex cept for along pass deep in Carolina territory just as the half ended.

J. B, Proctor, a passer De Luxe, and Hal Littleford, a run ner of note, teamed up with some excellent support from all their mates to ruin what would have been Kentucky’s best re cord since 1909. Littleford maneuvered in the muddy going for a 20-yard scor ing masterpiece late in the final period to break a second-half stalemate and give the Vols their 12th straight win of the series. Proctor had engineered both scoring drives with bull’s eye passes, the first having come in the second quarter to lock the score at 6-6. The Vols marched 76 yards for the touchdown, but Hubert Becker, Proctor’s re placement, tossd the payoff heave to Alan Fielden from the Wildcat 1C Kentucky drew first fire in the opening stanza, uncorking a passing attack of its own with quarterback George Blanda on the heaving end. The touchdown came on a screen toss to Jack Farris who scored from the Ten nessee ten.

Coach Jim Tatum’s Terrapins, rated in pre-game predictions to lose by at least two touchdowns, took command from the start and were never headed. They rompletely outplayed the Com modores until the last 15 seronds of the final quarter when Coach Red Sanders’ men put over their lone score. Terrapin halfback Lu Gambi no—who figured in every Mary land scoring play—started the scoring midway of the first quarter by galloping over stand ing up from the Vanderbilt 21. In the second quarter, a pass from Gambino to freshman end Elmer Wingate in the end zone added another score.
