Aw, Cut it Out You Kids! Quantico Marines in Navy Crown SAN DIEGO, Dec. 20 (U.R) A Jowerful Quantico marine foot-Tall foot-Tall eleven today downed the Alameda, Cal., naval air station, Z6 to 0, to win the 1947 all-navy :hampionship. The game was played before a criwd of 20000 servicemen and civilians. The navj, held .the leathernecks icoreless for the first quarter and then the east coast lads opened up. out some open market battle to entice the Athletes from the AAC. Alexis Thompson, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, wss the Na tional league's chief proponent for a common draft, but failed in his objective because of a league by law which requires that all new proposals be submitted 30 days in advance of a meeting. The common com-mon draft proposal probably will be taken up at the NFL's annual business meeting in New York, Jan. 15. Thus, the New York Giants, who drew Tony Mlnisl, a brilliant bril-liant Pennsylvania .halfback, as their number one choice, will have to vie for that highly-sought player with the Chicago Rockets of the AAC, who also made him their first choice earlier in the week. The Washington Redskins will have to out-bid the New York Yankees for Jack Weisenburger of Michigan; and the Detroit Lions will have to battle it out with the Yankees for Fred Enke, Jr., of Arizona, total offensive yardage leader for 1947. And so it went down the line, producing a situation that will enable 1947's collegions to demand de-mand the highest freshman salary inducements in the history of professional pro-fessional football. Although the Green Bay Packers, Pack-ers, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants, Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers would not disclose dis-close their draft lists, the remaining remain-ing five NFL teams made public, in whole or in part, the names of the players for whose services they will dicker.

The meet Is expected to draw some of the best ski jumpers In the Intermountaln region to compete on the newest and second largest jump fn the state. Only larger Jump is the giant Eck-era Eck-era Hill near Salt Lake City. The constructon of the new jump was completed last summer sum-mer under the direction of Earl Miller, instructor $t Timp Haven, and Miller predicts jumps of ISO feet or over if conditions are right for the meet. The jump was tested last week by local jumpers and .several improvements will be made in the takeoff and landing areas before the big meet on Jan. 4, Miss Stirman stated. The hill and jump will be available for practice runs after this week, however, she stated and all jumpers from other clubs are invited to take advantage of practice opportunities during the holiday season. The Timp Haven area is just 2Vz miles north of Wildwood on the Provo canyon road.' Entry blanks for the jumping meet will be sent out next week to all those holding racing cards from the Intermountain Ski Association, As-sociation, and all entries must be returned to Provo by Jan. 2, Miss Stirman said. General admission will be charged to the affair, and proceeds will go toward ending Junior B ounous, prominent Provo skier and former Intermountain champ back to compete in the national na-tional cross-country race. This event will be held at Duluth, Minnesota, this year, and Bounous, one of the best cross country skiers in the intermoun tain region, will have a fine chance of finishing well up the list. The Jan. 4 tourney will be the first of several events planned plan-ned at the Timp Haven area this year to attract the top skiers in the area and enable Provo fans to watch ski meets in their own county.

By WILLIAM TUCKER OXFORD, Miss.; Dec. 19 (U.R) Way back last sprin the mention of the University of Mississippi football team raised few temperatures, even in the state of mudcats and magnolias, and nobody had ever heard of the Delta Bowl, at all. Misery must have loved company. Mississippi and th Delta Bowl hitched their wagons to each other's stars in a mutual assistance pact without precedent in the annals Long before the Brigham Young university bas-keteers bas-keteers will have their work cut out for them if they get anywhere in the Los Angeles intercollegiate cage tourney which opens Dec. 26 in the coast metropolis, Coach Floyd Millet stated Saturday. The Cougar cagers drew the tough Arkansas Rasor-backs, Rasor-backs, top-seeded team In the tourney, for their first-round opposition, Coach Millet said. If they should happen to tip the Rasorbacks, they would still meet in their own bracket brack-et the same Syracuse outfit which shellacked the Y men 74-52 on their eastern tour. According to Coach Millet, the BYU lineup is beginning to take definite shape, with one guard center, and Thomas Novak, Nebraska Ne-braska center. Boston Yanks: Earl -Cook, Southern Methodist guard.

Plans For Ice Carnival Near Final Stages Plans are virtually completed for the big Ice Carnival under the sponsorship of the Provo Lions, slated for the Provo boat harbor on Jan. 9, weather permitting, per-mitting, it was announced today by club officials. - A full program of speed, figure and exhibition -skating has been arranged f,or competitive groups of all ages, officials say, and the carnival is expected to attract entrants from all over the coun ty. In addition to the strictly competitive events, in which the winners will receive awards for top places, some of the leading skaters in the county will put on exhibitions. These skaters are now being groomed by the city recreation department. Silver skates derbies will be staged in five age groups, ranging from 11 and under to 18 and over. Groupings are midgets (11 and under); juveniles (12 and 13); juniors (14 and 15); intermediates inter-mediates (16 and 17), and sen iors (18 and over). Distances range from 110 yards up to two miles and in every race, especially the shorter sprint races, where heats are necessary, they will be held. The competition is open for both men and women, and prizes will be awarded to winners in each class at each distance. The marathon two-mile event will be open only to senior men. A full program of stunt races. including a balloon fight, "bicycle race, bag race, barrel jumping contests, chariot race and many otner specialties have been ar ranged. spot still open for bidders. The center spot pretty well set with Mel Hutchins showing constant inmprovement, although Clark Greenhalgh is pushing the California Cali-fornia youth hard. Deadeye Joe Nelson has one forward berth sewed up tight while D. Ray Fullmer and Joe Weight are waging a determined battle for the other spot on the front line. - The one guard, spot is pretty well sewed up with speedy Rand Clark getting the nod over all other comers, but the other de fense position is wide open with several good players bidding for the open slot. Big Brady Walker, who, like old man river, "jest keeps roll-in' roll-in' " has been playing the posi tion, but Walker has not yet hit top condition after an illness early in the season. Coach Millet is considering the shift of 6-foot 4-inch Ivan Beem back from a reserve forward berth into the empty spot. Beem is a rugged lad and a good defensive player. Another leading candidate for the berth on the starting five is Jack Whipple, former Provo all-stater who turned In such a great performance In the last BYU-Arlsona State contest. One major trouble with Whip ple is that he and Clark are both among the shorter players on the team, and paired together on the guard line, they would cut down the height of the Cats consider ably. This is one of the strong points in Beem's favor if Walker fails to round into top shape before the tourney time. Coach Millet has indicated that he will try all possible pos-sible combinations at this post until a suitable working five is reached. The squad will leave Provo Christmas morning and work out in Las Vegas en route to Los Angeles. An-geles. The tourney starts on Dec. 26 at the Olympic auditorium with eight teams entered and the finals will be played on Dec. 29. An 11 -man team will make the trip, including Joe Nelson, Joe Weight, D.

Thus the Delta Bowl game, from the standpoint of powerful, pow-erful, closely matched teams, has just as much to offer as the Orange Bowl (Georgia Tech - Kansas) or the Sugar Bowl (Alabama - Texas.)

This Conerly went off to the Marines when big Barney went to West Point but beat him back to Mississippi by a full season. It took Conerly most of last season to get rid of his Iwo Jima legs but Coach Red Drew brought him along fast in November. Then Drew returned to his old love at Alabama, and Mississippi named his assistant. Johnny Vaught, as head coach. Everybody Every-body liked' Johnny but few thought he would do as well as Drew, even with the new Conerly to Barney Pool passing combina tion, a slight variation of last year's Conerly to Ray Pool duo. The Pooles are brothers. Conerly and Poole made foot ball history. Conerly broke the all-time collegiate record for completions and Poole .snapped the mark for receptions to win an end berth on the United Press 1947 ail-American team. Vaught merged them with a slick eleven that, contrary to popular belief, had nine other guys out there.
