NEW YORK. Dec. 2—<ue>—Hie
football team didn’t win a game
all season—In fact there were
only three other major squads In
the natoin with records as bad.
Eight straight times this sea-
son, 12 times In a row over the
past two seasons, his team had
its colors dipped Into the dirt.
He’* the United Press coach of the
week. George Bauer, whose Navy
Midshipmen never quit fighting, never
gained a victory, yet engineered one
of the big upsets of the year—that as-
tounding 21-21 ties with Army’s all-
conquering Cadets.
Everybody, it seemed, gave up on
those oft-mauled Midshipmen, and the
legions who made the pilgrimage to
Philadelphia’s Municipal stadium told
themselves the football game didn’t
matter but that It was worth the trip
to see the color, the pageantry, and
the celebrltiea.
t I It Wie a Bugged Schedule
What they forgot, but what Sauer,
the first civilian coach at Navy singe
1933. remembered, was that in spite
of the team’s poor record, it never
once quit on the field—never gave up
in disgust v
What folks also seemed to forget
was that in compiling that un-vic-
torious record Navy p.ayed the tough-
est schedule of any team in the na-
---------—
unbeaten at the time they faced Navy
California, Cornell, Duke. Pennsyl-
vania, Notre Dame and Army. Three
of them. California, Notre Dame and
Army still are unbeaten—Cornell
wound up with only one defeat and
as champion of the Ivy league.
Sauer, a tall, congenial Nebraska
all-American of 1933 vintage, was to-
tally unfamiliar with the atmosphere
of defeat in which he found himself.
For two years he had led the Kansas
Jayhawkers to co-championship of the
Big Seven and as a smashing fullback
and tremendous left-footed punter at
Nebraska, he was key man as the
Cornhuskers rang up three straight
conference championships.
He Ha* Twa Children
k A man who literally breathed the
’ lore of great gridiron feats, he had
hoped his first bom youngster would
be a son so he could train him to be a [
grid star and so he could name hlmi
for his old Nebraska coach, Dana X
Bible. He has two children, a daugh-
ter, Dana. 6. and the son, George jr.J
4. who has a great football name to
live up to even if he wasn’t named for
Bible.
Nothing that ever happened to him
in football stirred him so much as
Navy’s performance against Army. In
the dressing room after the game,
tear* streamed from his eyes and he
wasn’t the least bit ashamed of them.
As his players hoisted him to their
shoulders, he came to rest atop a uni*
form trunk and lifted his arms as if
in a toast—“To the fightingest gang
of men I ever coached.’-
Navy Ob the Way Back
But what was most significant of
all—something that bodes ill for Navy

tion that the Middle* now are on the
long road back.

Slugging Cardinal Has Wide
Margin in National League
NEW YORK, Dec. 2—/P'—Stan Musial, the lean St, Louis Card-
inal slugger who just missed a clean sweep of every National
league batting honor Thursday was named the circuit’s most val-
uable player by a wide margin. ! 1
Batting champ at .376, leader with 135 runs. 230 hits. 131 runs-
batted-ln, 46 doubles and 18 triples, Musial fell short of a perfect
score by one homerun in' a most remarkable season. He hit 39
Jout ‘ .
of New York each smashed 40.
As was the case in the Amer-1
lean league where Cleveland’s
Lou Boudreau was an easy win-
ner, there was little question
about Musial’s election in the
vote conducted by the Baseball
Writers association.
The flrtt-place vote of s 24-man
committee, as announced by Ed
Bums of the Chicago Tribune, the
retiring president, was 18 for Musial,
five for Boston’s Johnny Sain and
one for Boston's fine rookie, Al Dark.
It’* «n a Point Basis
Actually the award, which also car-
ried with it baseball's official annual
Kenesaw Mountain Landis plaque, is
decided on a point basis. Each first-
place ballot counts 14, each second
I counts nine and so on down to one
point for a tenth-place vote.
On a point basis Musial had 303
for an 80-point margin over Sain,
who had 223. Dark scored 174. They
I were the only three with 100 or more
U points.
i I Sain drew strong support for his
24-game winning sestson that boosted
the Braves into their first World se-
I ries since the miracle men of 1914.
The voting, as usual, was recorded
during the final week of the regular
season and did not take into account
World series performances.
Dark, enjoying a brilliant freshman
year as shortstop for a pennant win-
ner, hit J22.
Fourth place went to New York’s
' | Sid Gordon, who played a fine third-
base all season and drove in 109 runs
with his .299 average. Next came St.
Louis’ prize southpaw pitcher, Harry
Brecheen, a 20-game winner.
Reese Finishes Sixth
Pre Wee Reese, shortstop sparkplug
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who hit
.274, was sixth, followed by Kiner,
who hit 40 homers, and Eno* Slaugh-
ter, a .321 hitter for St. Louia, tied
for seventh.
Two players from the surprising
Pittsburgh team* placed ninth and
tenth. They were Danny Murtaugh,
making a great comeback at second-
base and hitting .290 and Stan Rojek.
who batted .289 after he was pur-
chased from Brooklyn. In all. 32
players drew , at least one point; y
It was the third time Musial w»
named most valuable In six full years
(of major league ball. The personable
cardinal ace, who celebrated his
twenty-eighth birthday November 21,

A T a time when most coaches are heaving king-size
2k sighs of relief and preparing to hit the good will
banquet circuit, the Sooners’ coach Bud Wilkinson is
busier than a man stuck in a revolving door while mak-
ing preparations for his biggest moment of all—Okla-
homa’s appearance in the Sugar bowl. . . .
Just back from New Orleans, where he huddled for sev-
eral days with the top kicks of the Midwinter Sports asso-
ciation there, the Big Seven s coach of the year hardly has
time to hang up his hat before pushing off for Kansas City
and a conference meeting. ...
Like the hordes of others who have transacted bowl busi-
ness down south in the friendly Crescent City, Wilkinson
came, saw and was conquered by the Sugar daddies. . . .
"It has been a long time,” he observed Thursday morning,
•since I have been so thoroughly impressed by any group of
men, anywhere.’’ . . .
The main problems tackled by Wilkinson consisted of
the ticket and the training situation*. ...
Sooner followers can purchase some 13.000 of the New
Year day pasteboards, and the OU team, probably about 44
strong, will pitch camp in Biloxi. Miss., about 90 miles from
New Orleans, to launch two-a-day drills on Monday, De-
cember 27. . . . , , ,
Wilkinson is pleased with the Biloxi site, which is where
the Aggies trained for their St. Mary’s engagement of 1946.
. . The municipal stadium there is also where the St. Paul
team of the American association got in its practice licks last
spring. . . . Headquarters is at the Buena Vista hotel. . . .
wtATL'RALLY. they’re goins down there to liek North Csrolln*. . . .
IN However it will not be all work, or all play. . . . The players’ wives
are going along, as usual, possibly via train. ... The Sooner* are due to
leave for Biloxi either by train or by plane—probably the latter—on the
day after Christmas. . . . They will not all fly from here, some coming
in from their homes, where they will spend Christmas day? . •
They will buckle down at Biloxi. Mis*., for four day* of the hardest
kind of work in the practice pit, and then spend New Year eye in New
Orleans, passing the battle eve either at-Tulane university, or at the
naval air station. ... . . « j
Not until the game is history will the Sooners relax for a few days
of fun, OU being due to return to Norman on January 4. . . .
A squad ineetinc will make it official but Wilkinson
expects to take abort 44 men with the players’ traveling
squad. . . . Of course there are 51 Sooners of ’48 and the
others will appear on the scene in spectators’ roles. . . .
The school intends to send down the seven others several days ahead
of the game, so no man who had a helping hand in OU’s surge to the Big
Seven title and the New Orleans bid will be left behind
Wilkinson admits the ticket situation is not perfect from a Sooner-
land standpoint. . . .. The end zone block is not the best in the big 80,-
000-seat bowl. but. given careful handling at Norman, there should be
enough ticket* to accommodate all the persons who plan to follow the
team south. ...
There will be howls for better seats but that condition Is static. . . .
The Sugar bowl moguls have insisted ever since the classic’s start In
1935 that the piek of the stadium fall to the original backers, the bond-
holders who first went out On a limb to make the thing possible. . . .
A CTL'ALLY therware no “bad” *eais in the yast saucer; it is so con- x
A structed that every seat in the place offer* a good view of the pro-
ceedings. ... *
Oddly the two Sugar rivals will be almost within shouting distance
of each other, during the four days of drills. . . . Carl Snavely has
elected to return his charges to nearby Gulfport, Miss., where the Tar
Heels trained for their 1947 collision with Georgia. ...
The two camps will be but 15 miles apart so maybe,the two teams
can “scout” one another by the sound of thudding blocks and tackles....
Wilkinson found his first New Orleans dealings the
same revelation which his many predecessors discovered.
"They give you a big league treatment down there," he commented.
. . . “Everything is businesslike, perfectly organized, conducted with
clockllke precision. ... 1 x .
• When I arrived the group had a check list all ready, pertaining to
training, seating, rooms, travel—all the necessary details. ... It doesn t
take long to get things done with that kind of operators. ... I just
hope we can give North Carolina as businesslike a treatment a* I re-
ceived. ...” ’ ’ ’ .
That Is the Impression which always is gleaned from the New Or-
leans gang, which knows how to get the Job done—and love* what It is
doing. ... ’ J 'I ! I 1
