Instead, prophecies of sportswriters have been constantly refuted by supposedly underdog teams that go on to the gridiron each Saturday during the autumn season. Coaches early September dreams have become November nightmares and preambled have flopped through the rugged pigskin grind. Sure "bowl bets" have turned into "bowl busts". The result has left few teams remaining with an unblemished record and the '"great! majority of that irrepressible few don't boast a win to mar their sadness! ' The '49 season has put football back into the once golden era of the great Knute Rockne and Frank Cavanaugh, two of the moat remarkable men of football. It is certain that these two immortals will never return to the scene, but the game that was engendered by their love for it has once more come of age. From here on it will be hard to convince a team that it is beaten before the game has even begun- It will even be harder for a writer to envisage the favorite of a contest that involves a great team and a squad that really wants to win. Football survived the war years in a precarious position but today the golden days of Grange, Thorpe, and Gipp. Severe has tests and ordeals have frequently faced the game. Deaths resulting directly from participation in the game have not been encouraging to those who influence the sport and. who, of necessity are required to report annually on the game's shortcomings. True, it takes lives and makes cripples; it inflicts pain and causes misery, but the benefits these misfortunes. of the game can be measured above "If you want to win, you can win", said a greying old coach, who had been a great example of the militant and pacific ways of life, which both were, in a sense, compatible to him. All the men heard what the great Cavanaugh said in the dressing room before a game He had thoroughly they were supposed to lose by four touchdowns. convinced his men that eleven Fordham men were just as good as any eleven men anywhere on any football field. And two hours later when the clatter of cleats could again be heard in the dressing room, the grey, nearly blind old veteran was happy. ,He could remember several things as he walked out into the empty, still, stadium that evening. The foxholes, the whistle of bombs, the muck that adds to the filthy war. Cav could remember it all. Every win; every loss. The old "Iron Major" hesitated momentarily at the fifty yard line, quietly looked around, and then rambled off into the dusk toward the goal posts. Cav never returned to. the fieldYeah, sometimes the dice come seven. ,v Friday, Novembf 25, TOP TIMES Team Standings: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. - Basketball Amid the laughter, shouts, the jeers and tears, AACS fell through the floor in their first test of the base league last week- Ronald Coburn's in the inagural test for both 3081st ABG five turned the trick - 28-2- 7, teams.

G: reenhaw With the completion of this column this writer bids farewell to his distinguished, pleasant associates in the PIO, and to the many persons, both military and civilian, at Hill Field who have helped to make the composition of Sports Slides for the past six months. Working bunch of coaches, fans, and athletes has been a pleasure. fine the with Before leaving, yours truly will take this opportunity to congratulate those outstanding people who contributed , much to develop sports. Congratulations are not only in order for the many athletes but also to those who thrill to the exciting sports events, and who, in the home stretch, make the games what they really are- So for all those who had a hand in sports, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Easter Egg, and a Bromo for the first morning of the new year. First of all, to the football coaches, Ray Freston, Lts. Paul Herold and Clarence Kirk for they probably need someone to say a kind word for them. To Eugene Colquitt and Don Jackson, two friends who will always be a credit to their race and football. To Paul Rardin and all his injuries. How are things back in Lamoni, . - Iowa? To George Taylor and Allen Frost, two nice fellows that play football as it should be played. To Major Henry Steinbock, Captain James Bassett, Lt. Henry Van DePol, and the nurses, all of whom rendered valuable service to the football squad. To the next person that writes this column. Pity. To James Tex (PAPA) Stanley, who likes hillbilly music and plays a whale of a football game. Thanks for many favors throughout the year. To Helen Rice, who thinks that home plate is something to eat from and that bags are beautiful women. Hope for the future; a smile for the past. To Ralph Johnson and Harold Carter with no special reason for putting them so close together. To Ray and Wilma, to Becky and Jody. It's a wonderful life. To Jimmy Hice and Hal Cockrum. Burley is slightly farther than Pokey. To D. J., the waterboy who never spilled a drop all season. To Bernard Nunley and Howard Charette... Punching bags, handballs, basketballs, badminton, and Tom Brawner. To John B. and Ronald E. "Mule Train". To Lynn Tyner, Gene Ryan, Jay Beckstead, Keith andLloyd Norseth. Football in Utah is comparable to southern dialect in northern terrain. To my bosses, Lt Kenneth Smith, and Mr. E. R Stoker. Where there is a will tbereis a way, and most people have a will. - . For Merck O. (Polo) Hancock, Sweet Lorraine Dorothy, and A. Wayne. It is a known fact that the state of Utah is 80 per cent desert. I say that the other 20 per cent is the Great (mind you) Salt Lake. "Tough rice", said the man from Hong Kong. Here's to "Stub" Wallace who will be around as long as the Air Force repairs It's a long way back to Fairmont, Minnesota via Tokyo. Drop by Dallas sometime. Progress for Albert Fellin, the world's eighth wonder. He is just .6 behind Nebuchadnezzar's Tanging Gardens of Babylon. To Richard Hebner, Robert Weideman, Ben Curry, Gerald Wycoff, Dave Buckles, John Priest, and Art Wier, seven characters, the like you'll never see together in one place again. To Benamino and Mrs. Nardini, who both perform admirably in the medics. Blackeyes, thermometers, softballs, and Georgia. To Bob Salerno from "Greenie" with respect. Broken bones don't interfere with football but they sure do complicate baseball. How about it Tom? To Neal Moss who appears to be running on a treadmill during the football games. Moss was the teams leading ground yet gainerNeal! he failed to score a TD all year long. Better luck next year, To hurlin Harry Camper, the handsome lad from Logan, who plays all three top sports and is a credit to each. To Coach Jim Williams of Snow college, Ephriam, Utah, for un- aeservea praise. To Thomas "foul ball" Brawner, who can hit any pitcher, anywhere, at anytime. To Cal Agricola for being such a good official in baseball, basketball, and especially football. Best wishes for this fine, competent associates, Roulen Stanf ield and Mr. Andrews.

Whether it is cold or whether it is hot, we shall have weather whether or not. To Glen (Sid Champ) Jensen who really enjoys the great bands that play almost every week at the NCO club. To Raymond Smith of Harold's club. It was "Reno or Bust" for the football team and most of them burst. . . . Someone tell the beautiful in Harold's club that it's a nice place. girl dealing black-jac- k And finally to AULD LANG SYNE, who has lived longer than any of us. He doesn't deserve anything.
