'- Rosie Is Brig. Gen. Emm O'Donnell of uncle Sam s a; forces. And '"home" is the grl; gray plains at West Point whe: -Kosie started the soldiering reer which made him famous. But it will be plain O'Donnell who rides through rigid ranks of gray-clad cadet: war-wearied guy who for moment will be back as a cadet himself playing a bit of half for the Army in I9ZB and Yet overshadowing those manor ies will be the haunting thoughts of -the ''carefree years fronj 1934 through 1938 when he aid the buddies with whom he worked were coaching on the just before the biggest them all. Only Foot Left- There were eleven of them teaching football up on the plains in those days. Now only four are left to carry on the tradition of the corps. -They all thought they'd be back. Col. Moe Daly, the bruising center of the '27-'23 teams, didn't know that he'd be captured on BaUan; live through the hell of Jap prison camps and then die when an American submarine sank the Jap prison ship on which e was chained. Col. Art Meehan, the backfield coach, was a cheerful sort. How could he know that his number was to be called in the Solomons? Eddie Doyle had no inkling that he'd be killed in the first wave at Casablanca, with the sun glinting on his new colonel's eagle. Maj. Bob Stillman, happy-go-lucky as they come, didn't know that his plane would go down in flames over Germany. And none . of them suspected that Maj. Junie JBurllngame would be killed in ball stairs. Blondy is out of the army for good now, lying In Walter Reed hospital with a freshly amputated leg suffered in a B-29 crash in India. So is Col. Red Reeder. with whom Blondy used to argue football strategy. Red's minus- a leg, too, left behind in Normandle. The fortunate ones were Brig. Gen. Gar Davidson, their head coach,, up there at West Point; Col. Bill Wood, who later was to take Gars place; Col. Harry Trap-nell. Trap-nell. who survived the toroedo- ing of the Jap prison ship whifcb cost Daly's life, and ODonneu. They all took their chances. and none took more than Rosie, the handsome general just' back from four years in tne acuic. O'Donnell commanded one of the three B-29's which flew non-stop from Tokyo to Chicago last .month and it was a trip well-earned. Because ever since the war started, start-ed, Rosie has been In the thick of it. Led Tokyo Raid The one-star fellow with the ready blush and the graying hair was in" the big scrimmage right from the outset That DFC with oak leaf cluster came from downing down-ing four Zeros and two transports along with damage to a heavy cruiser and a destroyer in -the early days of the war. Later, his olanes gone, he and his men fought with rifles on Bataan, escaped to Java and came back into the -fray with new planes. It was Rosie who led the first B-29 raid on Tokyo. "I thanked my lucky stars for my football training," Rosie recalled. re-called. "I'm convinced that football foot-ball did a lot for me and that it's the real army game." "Now, I want to get back to West Point to see the kids scrimmaging scrim-maging and to take a look at this Army team." ' bination age and long absencehled; B, beaten or tied once; i ... Navy 1 1 Listed Atop Nation's Purdue in 2nd Place By GENE FRD2DMAN LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23 U.fD Undefeated Navy, with a tough struggle against Perm coming up Saturday, was listed today on top of the narlon'-rf-football teams In the Deke Houlgate rating system; 1 The " Houlgate system rates teams on the basis of the strength of the opposition and classifies them as A, undefeated and un-i from the ring.

I hadn't had a fight in three years, and was way off form. ' I was better when X fought Gene the second time, with the Sharkey bout under, my belt, but I was still a long ways from the fighter I had been at mv neak. I was 31 when I fought Tunny the first time. You just can't get back your stuff, after a long lay-off, when you've pas sed 29." 'Dempsey declined to pick a winner at this early date; but his conversation indicated that he leaned toward Conn. He emphasized empha-sized however, that Conn, too, had been out of the ring almost as long as Louis, although more than two years younger. Kearns, who guided Dempsey to the championship and to his first two million-dollar gates, with Georges Car pen tier and Luis Angel Firpo, agreed that Louis never could regain his former prowess. However, the dapper Chicago promoter picked Louis to score another knockout over Conn. Dempsey was interviewed at his Great Northern hotel; Kearns at the Hotel Edison.
