Startling Facts Bared
By Football Poll
By JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (N.A.N.A.l.
—This week's unassociated football
poll shows that Tennessee has sky
rocketed from 16th place to 14th
by reason of its crushing victory
over the unbeaten forces of no game
scheduled, sometimes known as the
Invisible Tide or the Ectoplasmic
Eagles.
No game scheduled played an
early-season tie with open date,
but, outside of that, her record
was clean as a daisy, up till the time
she met Tennessee.
The Volunteers had too much re
serve strength for the Invisible Tide.
According to my scouts, Neyland's
team pushed the Ectoplasmic Eagles
up and down the field at will, and
might have scored more often than
ii. ii j
• V Uiu.
Thus the Vols fully deserve iheir
sensational elevation from 16th to
14th place. Four hundred and
Beventy-six sports editors can't be
wrong, though I admit they tried
very hard this week.
'Boma Still Mulls Over
Typewriter Poll
One sports editor tells me that
Lardner's unassociated poll has
made a new man of him, and even
mentions the new mans name.
Another has mastered the clarinet.
A third has moved to a different
neighborhood. A fifth was bitten
by a copperhead. With men who
know football best, it’s Lardner's
poll, 8’2 to 5.
Cornell, by failing to score a field
goal against Pennsylvania, falls from
5th place to 12th, just below “I
Built a Dream" on the hit parade.
Alabama casts 24 votes for Under
wood. apparently under the misap
prehension that this is a typewriter
poll.
Stanford, rolling up two touch
downs against California and keep
ing the Golden Bears bottled up in
the Stanford end zone the rest of
the day, can no longer be Ignored.
But the poll ignores her. With 476
sports editors, there is no such word
as "impossible.”
Missouri gets 41 votes, but I don't
know exactly for what, because the
voters failed to say. Using the dis
cretionary powers given me under
the Constitution, I would place her
somewhere west of the Mississippi
River, north of Arkansas.

Favored Southern Team
Three sports editors in Maine tell
me that Boston College is their
favorite Southern team. Boston
College is not a true Southern team,
though I suppose it looks that way
from Maine. However, they do plant
a good deal of cotton around that
part of the country, usually in their
ears, and I am going to let the
result stand.
Southern California, missing one
kick for point against Notre Dame,
takes a humiliating tailspin into
ninth place. Unless Howard Jones
can develop a good point-kicker im
mediately, Southern Cal seems
doomed.
Syracuse, which fooled the experts
by playing Thursday instead of Sat
urday, seems to be on her way. This
trick was borrowed by Ossie Solem
from Pop Warner's Carlisle Indians,
and is sure-fire. The Maryland
team was caught completely off
guard. When notified that Syracuse
had started the game and was
marching down the field, the Mary
landers hastily boarded a special
train and arrived just too late to
block the touchdown which won the
game.
Spearfish One Degree
Below Normal
Without further ado. we give you
the unassociated football poll for
this week:
Rice—321.
United States Steel—186ti.
Kayak II—$11.90, $4.80.
Centenary—99.
Normal—98.6.
Spearfish—97.6 (one degree be
low normal).
Tech—72.
State—53.
Vanderbilt — 3-9100 (informa
tion).
Chicago—0.
As an added feature of our poll
this week, we asked the sports
editors if they would go to the bowl
if invited. The vote was as follows:
Previous engagement—203.
Engaged, but not planning to
be married right away—75.
Married—195.
Yes—2.
Those figures are not exceptional
for this time of year.

Figures Favoring D. C.
Pros Meaningless
In Title Tussle
New Yorks Aim to Match
Foe's Power by Working
Their Stars Overtime
By BILL DISMER, Jr.
Grim realization that statistics
mean nothing in a game with the
greatest opportunists in the league,
the Champion New York Giants,
and reports that Coach Steve Owen
plans to play five of his stars 60
minutes against them Sunday gave
the Redskins additional cause to
worry today.
Despite figures showing them to
be the leading offensive team of
the East and second only to the
Chicago Bears, who have finished
their season with new scoring and
ground-gaining marks, the Red
onuio taw m auuiu tu uuaoi,
For the Giants, who’ll let you
have the statistics if they can wift
the ball game, have been "out
statisticked” in all but 1 of their
10 games this season—8 of which
they’ve won. They've been out
rushed, outpassed and outkicked,
but—save in only one instance—
they haven’t been outscored.
All Figures Favor Bears.
Today they trail the Redskins by
nearly 200 yards in rushing, have
yielded more than 300 yards to the
opposition, have completed 30 per
cent less passes and have scored
76 less points. But they’re still even
with the Indians in the only two
statistical columns that count—the
won and lost.
If the powerful Bears had not
smashed three offensive records
themselves, the Redskins would
have two new all-time marks to
their credit. The Indians' 235
points in 10 games never had been
equaled by any league team in an
11-game schedule before, but the
Bears wound up their campaign
last Sunday with the amazing num
ber of 298—an average of 27 per
game.
Similarly in the ground-gaining
column, in which the Indians are
credited with 3,288 yards—400 yards
more than the old record—but ex
actly 700 yards short of the Bears’
new mark. The Bears’ 3.988 yards
in 11 games excels former league
records of teams playing 12 and 13
games.
Owen Respects Indian's Power.
The Indians’ passing percentage
1 of 59 per cent efficiency still is 11
per cent higher than the all-time
league record, set by the Giants
last year.
With Frankie Filchock averaging
63 per cent. Sammy Baugh, 57,
Jimmy German. 54. and Dick Todd
i (who has thrown only three'. 1.000,
the Redskins can boast of a quartet
of passers of rare ability.
Unconcealed respect for the Red
skin powerhouse may lead Owen to
abandon his famed two-team sys
tem on Sunday if rumors drifting
down from New York are correct.
Owen was quoted today as stating
that his two ends. Jim Lee How'ell
and Jim Poole; All-League Center
Mel Hein, Quarterback Tuffy Lee
mans and Fullback Nello Falaschi
would play the full game against
the Redskins, or as long as tfiey
were able to stand.
"This is no ordinary team we're
playing.” Owen told a newspaper
man. "I want my be*t men in there
every minute.”
Whether any more seats would be
available to them for Sunday's game
was causing Redskin fans more
worry today than their favorites
chances against the champs. After
8.000 seats had been disposed of by
the Redskin office yesterday in less
than three hours after the box office
opened at 9 a.m., it was estimated
12,500 were in the hands of local
fans—4.000 having been sold by rail
roads running excursion trains Sat
urday and Sunday.
It was said that even Owners
George Marshall and John Mara of
the Giants were hard up for tickets
One customer yesterday offered
Marshall $300 for six seats between
the 20-yard lines. Marshall couldn't
have got them for $3,000.
The Redskins will leave Washing
ton late Thursday afternoon, taking
up quarters at the Westchestei
Country Club for the week end
They will not go into New York
until Sunday morning, proceeding

Marshall at Pro Grid Confab
To Set Playoffs in Case
Sectional Ties Result
By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. Nov. 28.—Four
club owners of the National Pro
fessional Football League gathered
here today to arrange for playoffs
in event of deadlocks in the Eastern
and Western divisions of the circuit.
Tire quartet of survivors are the
New York Giants, defending league
titlists. and the Washington Red
skins in the East and Green Bay
Packers and Chicago Bears in the
West,
The Giants and Redskins, both
boasting eight victories against one
loss and one tie, clash Sunday in
New’ York. A tie game would force
a playoff.
Green Bay leads the West with
eight victories and two setbacks,
while thp Bears are close behind
with eight wins and three defeats.
The Packers pfay Detroit Sunday
and a defeat would deadlock the
race.
Playoffs, if necessary, probably
will be held December 10. League
President Carl L. Storck determin
ing today just where they would be
staged. Meeting with him were
Owners George Marshall of Wash
ington, Tim Mara of New York,
George Halas of Chicago and Curley
Lambeau, coach and part owner of
the Packers.
Two developments in connection
wiih the Pittsburgh pro Pirates held
attention as the club owners assem
bled.
Art Rooney, offered $50,000 for a
part ownership by a Boston syndi
cate, was told by Vincent Scully,
representing a local group, that he
was prepared to match the offer
and would be willing to take 49 per
cent of the stock.
Armand Niccolai, veteran of six
straight seasons of play as a star
right tackle, announced he would
quit the grid game. Bert Bell,
owner of the Philadelphia Eagles,
heard of this and offered Rooney
the Eagles' second choice in this
winter's draft in exchange for the
ex-Duquesne star's contract. Bell
thought he could make such an
attractive offer that Niccolai would
keep on playing. Rooney is hopeful
Niccolai will change his mind.
Cubs Look to Meeting
To Land Shortstop
And Outfielder
Failing at Cincinnati,
They May Resort to
Class AA Minors
By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. Nov. 28.—The Chicago
Cubs hope to transform their
fourth-place team of 1939 into a
National League title contender at
the winter baseball meeting at Cin
cinnati next week.
Gabby Hartnett's crew needs most
of all a ranking shortstop and
fence-busting outfielder, but all
efforts to uncover either since the
season closed apparently have come
to naught.
Hope for Proved Player.
Dick Bartell bogged down at
shortstop last season after several
brilliant campaigns with the New
York Giants. The Cubs still have
hopes of acquiring a tried and true
major leaguer for this spot at Cin
cinnati, but, failing this, may make a
deal for an infielder from one of the
AA minor league outfits.
Only a few weeks ago owner Phil
; Wrigley said the Cubs were not in
terested in buying high-priced stars
from other clubs, but would en
deavor to develop theiq own talent
henceforth. But reports persist that
the Cubs are trying to get Enos
Slaughter, outfielder, and Don Pad
gett, catcher-outfielder, from the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Cards See No Major Swaps.
Branch Rickey, general manager
of the Cards, however, said last
night in St. Louis that “We do not
look for any transactions involving
our first-string athletes,” at the win
l ter meeting.
“If any one has any offers to make
■ we’ll give any or all of them due
. consideration,” he added, “but
! there’s nothing doing at this time
to indicate we’ll do any major trad
! Ing or selling.”
The Cubs’ delegation to the Cin
; cinnati convention will be Manager
i Hartnett, Vice President Charles
! Weber, Secretary Bob Lewis and
• Clarence Rowland and Jack Doyle,
scouts.
No Trades Expected
By Cards, Browns
At Cincinnati
Rickey Merely Is Ready
To Listen to Offers;
De Witt Has No Plans
By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 28.—Take it from
those who should know, neither the
Cardinals nor the Browns expect
much to come their way from the
baseball meetings in Cincinnati next
week.
Branch Rickey, vice president and
general manager of the Cardinals,
had this to say today:
"We don't expect to make any
player deals, unless you mean deals
of a minor nature
"We might trade or sell a player
or two of lesser ability, but we do
not look for any transactions in
volving our first-string athletes.
“Of course, we’re always ready to
listen to any offers, and if any one
has any to make we'll give anyr or
all of them due consideration, but
there's nothing doing at this time
to indicate we'll do any major trad
ing or selling."
And this from William O. De Witt
vice president of the Browns:
"If the Browns do anv trading
they'll certainly start from scratch,
for right now we haven't a single
player deal pending with any one.
“There.have been rumors about
this player being traded here and
that player there, but the rumors
are entirely groundless.”

Starless Duquesne's Might Due
To Players' Wonderful Spirit
Of Onnrh Hnlrlc
By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 28— Hear
Coach Aldo i Buff > Donelli tell it, his
Duquesne Dukes haven’t an out
standing star, yet they've won eight
games this year without a loss or tie.
“It's the spirit of sacrifice that
brought us through.” said the squat
one-time soccer star, and "it applies
to the whole team from the seniors
to the sophomores; from the start
ing lineup to the third stringers.”
While the squad raced through
drills for the Detroit game Saturday
—final obstacle to a perfect season
for Donelli in his first year on the
bluff—the coach paid tribute to the
team spirit.
“You take Carl Nery as one ex
ample.” he said. "A senior and a :
star fullback, Nery shifted to an I
end. then when we needed nim at
tackle he moved there, and last Sat
urday against Carnegie Tech he was
shifted to a guard. It isn't often
that a senior is so shifted around.
Naturally, he would rather have
played in the backfield. But he
took the other assignments readily
and gave everything he had.
Mazzoni Accepts Reduction.
"Aldo Mazzoni is another case.
He's a senior and certainly good
enough to be in the starting line
up. But he's been with the second
string all season simply because
they seemed to click better when
Mazzoni was in with them.
"Naturally, all football players
like to be nominated in the first
string starting lineup, yet Mazzoni
didn't mind at all playing with the
second team. It was because «he
sparked the other that I got him
to make the sacrifice.
"Nery and Mazzoni were typical
of the whole team.”
After Duquesne walloped Car
negie Tech, 22 to 7, last Saturday.
Coach Bill Kern said it was the
best team his Tartans had met all
year and Donelli agreed the Dukes
were hot.
“The boys were better against
Tech than they were all season,” he
declared. “I guess we looked our
worst against Manhattan, but Coach
Herb Kopf told me later that Man
hattan's game against us was the
best they had looked all season.
Maybe we had something to do
with that.”
N. C. State Game Toughest.
The toughest spot of the year for
the Dukes was against North Caro
lina State, said Buff, because 'after
beating Pitt it was pretty hard to
convince the boys that North Caro
lina State would give us trouble.
We were glad to get out of there
with a victory under the circum
stances."
Donelli wouldn’t make any predic
tions for next Saturday's engage
ment at Forbes Field, but recalled
Detroit smashed Manhattan, 33 to
13, while the Dukes barely got
by, 7-0.

Flaherty Looks for Wide-Open Game Sunday
Redskins, Giants Are About Even in Manpower, Coach Feels
a
By RAY FLAHERTY,
Coach, Washlntton Redskins.
Unfortunately, we can’t count
on the same factor that carried
us to victory over the Detroit
Lions to help us much against
the Giants on Sunday—superior
manpower.
I didn't doubt for an instant
last Sunday that the Redskins
could win provided they kept
playing the same type of hard,
driving football that they showed
at the outset and that was my
only between-half instructions:
“Keep pouring it in to ’em, and
they’re bound to wilt.”
The Lions had as many players
as we did, to be sure, but they
don’t use the two-team system
that Steve Owen and I have
found so successful, and when we
threw a whole new team in
acainst ’em, they weren't able
to counteract it.
I b
The players, themselves, didn’t
have to be exhorted to put out,
nor will they this week. They
knew just what jobs lay ahead of
them and the only thing Roy
Baker and I had to do was to
point out little mechanical mis
takes that we could see from the
bench.
It’s superfluous to say that we
want that Eastern title back
badly, but we know the Giants
want to keep it just as much and
that they'll be prepared and wait
ing. They can remember how
keyed up they were last year
with the memories of that 49-14
shiner we gave ’em in 37 seared
in their souls and they’ll know
that we haven’t forgotten that
36-0 walloping they gave us last
year.
There isn’t a shadow of doubt
that we face our hardest game
of the season five days hence.
t
\
Put two almost evenly-matched
teams that dislike each other as
much as the Redskins and Giants
do and anything can happen.
Likely as not, the final score
won’t be any indication of the
respective merits of the oppo
nents because as soon as one
team gets behind it’s going to
open up to catch up. When
that begins, there’s the wide
open game that fans go nuts
about.
