THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1931 COMEBACK IN GAME WITH IRISH CALLED GREATEST OF FEATS Southern California Aggrega- tion Gets 72 Out of 131 Possible Votes CARDINALS SECOND CHOICE Army, Tulane, and St. Mary's Elevens Cited in Poll of Sports Experts Editor's Note: This is the sec- ond of four stories featuring the views of the nation’s sports edi- tors and writers on the athletic highspots of 1931. The accom- panying story is in response to the Associated Press query: “What was the outstanding team achievement in sports for 1931?” ‘Wednesday, the poll on the big- gest upset will be discussed. By ALAN GOULD New York, Dec. 22.—()—By a mar- gin equally as convincing as that gained by Pepper Martin in the indi- vidual field, Southern California's sensational foootball team is credited by the nation’s sports experts with the outstanding individual team achievement for 1931 in any branch of sport. That's how highly they regard the ‘Trojan victory that ended the three- year Winning streak of Notre Dame. “There has been nothing in years to compare with that fourth-quarter comeback and triumph of Southern California against the Irish,” wrote one sports editor who voiced wide- spread feeling: “It was a magnificent team achievement in every respect.” Southern California, in the national poll of svorts editors and writers con- ducted by the Associated “Press, re- ceived 72 votes out of a possible 131. | | | By Ahern Z WE ALL HAVE FoR BEAUTIFUL CUP b ACCEPTABLE IN Ng PAWAS Adem ~ HAR-RR-RUMF-- EGAD,DASON ~-THIS IS’ YOUR WEDDING GIFT FRAM He House oF Hoople!

The glamor of college football, still fresh in mind, perhaps swayed the opinions of some observers. On the other hand, many pointed out that the chief factors in the Cardinal base- ball victory were three exceptional in- dividual performers—Martin, Grimes and Hallahan — whereas Southern California came through on the strength of its superb team-work in the crisis agdinst Notre Dame. More- over, while the vote for the Trojans largely was based on what they did azainst the Irish, the fact also point- ed out that U. S. C. routed almost every football foe after dropping the first game of the season to St. Mary's. The results of the Associated Press poll: Southern California football team, 72; St. Louis Cardinals, world baseball champions, 26; Philadelphia Athletics, American League cham- pions, 6; Army football team, 5; Navy crew Poughkeepsie champions, 3; St. Mary’s football team, victory over U. 8.

The amount involved was not announced. Hornsby Is Grooming Cubs for Future. Hopes to Build Up Organization That Will Stay ori Top For Years Chicago, Dec, 22.—()}—Manager Rogers Hornsby harbors no baseball hallucinations as he busily assembles his Cubs for the next National League | pennant dash. “We should be much stronger with Burleigh Grimes pitching for us and with some fine recruits coming up,” Hornsby said as the Cubs completed the big deal by whieh they acquired the Cardinal mound ace for Hack Wilson and Pitcher Bud Teachout, but championship teams aren't built in a year. The Cubs are building steadily. We may not win the 1932 pennant because of the strong Card- inal opposition but we ultimately will climb to the top and may stay there for six or seven years.” With William Wrigley’s bankroll attracting a large group of Minor league stars, the fortunes of the Cub forces for 1932 appear excellent. Grimes should give them one of the finest balanced pitching staffe of the league coupled with Pat Malone, Charlie Root, Guy Bush and Bob Smith. Hornsby’s idea of a great baseball club is one of the great speed on the bases and afield and he is construct- ing the club along those lines, His most perplexing problems are third and second bases and one posi- tion in the outfield. Lester Bell ap- parently is through defending the third sack because’ of his sore arm. The Cubs have acquired Stanley Hack, Sacramento star of the Pacific Coast league but Hornsby is worried lest Hack prove too inexperienced. The second base post depends largely upon his own condition but even he realizes that he cannot play regularly any more because of his legs. He probably will start but sur- render the role for the post of pinch hitter later in the season. Riggs Stephenson, like Hornsby, cannot be counted to play regularly so a re- placement is necessary in field. “Gabby” Hartnett is regarded as a fixture behind the plate but Charles /Grimm may have a struggle on his | hands to stay at first with Harry Tay- lor, young Seattle star, coming up. Kiki Cuyler will be back in the out- field, >~——_____________¢ SPORT SLANTS By ALAN GOULD Hunk Anderson of Notre Dame, asked to pick the best linemen his team faced all season, named Quatse of Pittsburgh, Riley of Northwestern and Baker of Southern California. But Hunk hastened to add that MODERN ARCHER BAGS A BUCK to bring down a deer since the bow and arrow was ing deer two years ago in Massachusetts.

Price and Summerfelt were particularly troublesome for Notre Dame. The Cadet announcer in the press| box of the Yankee Stadium pretty well epitomized the situation, in the fourth quarter, when he barked “Schwartz, tackled by the Army lint The soldier players showed no re- spect whatever for the famous All- America halfback from Bay St. Louis, down in Mississippi. DOPE DOES TAILSPIN Anyway you figure it out, it has been a dizzy gridiron season. Columbia walloped Dartmouth and Cornell whipped Columbia, but Dart- mouth evened it up by a two-touch- down victory over Cornell. Notre Dame smeared Pittsburgh, which gave the Army a lacing, but the result was that Army climbed all over Notre Dame's running ma- chinery in the Yankee Stadium. “You will all be gloomy in another five years at that rate,” remarked Gil Dobie to a gathering of fellow coaches, after things like this had been under discussion, LATE BLOOMING ROSES On the same day that a lot of All- America selections were being hawked around the newspaper premises, a number of young gents in football uniform decided to run wild, includ- ing Ray Stecker of the Army, Bob; Lassiter of Yale and the Sarena casa and Ernie Caddell of Stan-/ ford. ‘We searched the All-Americas care- fully without finding anything more than an honorable mention for any of these boys. Perhaps the best solution of this) national problem would be to pick an All-America, up to and including a certain date and then select another on the basis of post-season returns, up to and including New Year's day. BUCKNELL’S BROADSIDE Bucknell isn't ready to concede Pittsburgh or any other outfit a ma- jor share of the assorted eastern foot- ball honors without an argument. The Bisons, although tied three| times, wound up their campaign as the only undefeated outfit in these parts and they are ready to defend the distinction, right: down to the last yard. For example, writes Arthur L. Brandon from Lewisburg, the home of the Bisons: “Bucknell played five ¢ major eastern foes, Pittsburgh four. Pitt’s eastern opponents were the Army, Carnegie Tech, West Virginia and Penn State. Among them they won but three games against east- ern teams ond one of these victories was by the weak West Virginia team over a still weaker Penn State eleven. “In a ‘Mythical League,’ Pitt's eastern opponents are grouped in the last sixth in the sandings.. In the same ‘Mythical League,’ Bucknell’s opponents are grouped as follows: Fordham and Temple, in the first two-fifths, Georgetown, Villanova and W. & J. in the next two-fifths. Thus, | all Bucknell opponents, so far as their 1931 ratings are concerned, rank higher than the four opponents Pitt found little trouble in beating.” Fi cast TS (By The Associated Presn) tiere, Italy, ki New York, (1)3 Fr knocked Cr out- York Ys ‘Rico Cincinnati, New w ‘Stoux city, Ta Wichita, Kans., outpotnted.

The team that will line up against the Sigs tonight, is expected to have Schwartz at center, Thornberg and Schaumberg at forward, and Geston and Heidt at guard. In addition the Phantoms will hold McCrea and Ed- die and Johnny Spriggs in reserve. ‘The game will be played at 8 p. m. (Mandan time) and will be open to the public free of charge.
