By GAYLE TALBOT (A. P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Dec. 27 Bastern fans alrcady see a S ng duel between the individual stars of Columbia and Stanford in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. They've heard all about Bobbj Grayson, Stanford's great sopho- more fullback, and Bill Corbus, the coast team's All-America guard, | but they are Inclined to believe the Lions have a couple of young men capable of matching their indi-| vidual feats, trick for trick. | Many who have observed Cliff Montgomery, Columbia’s mercur little quarterback, run rings around a half-dozen opponents this season contend he is the equal of any broken field runner in the country. | Scored 10 Touchdowns If Stanford nails the Lions’ lead- | er for four full quarters it will ac- complish something only one other choice for the All-Eastern backfield the last two years. Coach Little has called Mont- gomery the most resourceful field genzral in his experience; claims he cannot recall his having made a single error in judgment in ears on the job. He is a sure- shot passer, a deft recciver and one of the most accurate punters in the east. He's durable, too, for all his lack of poundage, and an in- | curable enthusiast. Field Goal Threat To match the great Corbus, whose field goals enabled Stanford | to hand Southern California its first defeat in a long, long time, the Lions will offer Newt Wilder, their 200-pound center. In addition to being an accurate passer and a bulwark of defense, Wilder is a deadly placement kicker from any- | where inside the 30-yard line. He's | booted a half-dozen this season| YOUR"LITTLE BOY BLUE" O G\'T \N UNTIL FOUR THIS MORNIN' - HES STILL IN THE HAY- wt Wilder, 200-pound team’s running and passing attack is halted in the scoring -zone, itj is altogether possible the Lions will give their heavier opponents| a merry afternoon. They're Hard to Rout As for the possibility of the Stanford powerhouse smasling down Columbia’s defense and run- football men say it can't be done. No team has come even close to routing the Lions in the last three years. Princeton pounded across three touchdowns in this year’s game, but they did it early in thz con- test after a series of bad breaks had temporarily demoralized the Lions. After they had collected themselves at the half, Coach Lit- tle’s warriors nof only stopped the Tigers stone cold but kept them on the defense the rest of hte way.

Although fhis Maryland farmer is one of the most powerful slug- gers in all the history of baseball his average for this year is the | Jowest of any American league leader since 1908 when Cobb fin- ished first with .324. Also it is the fourth lowest in the history of the league. Elmer Flick, Cleveland out- fielder, finished first in 1905 with the low mark of all time .306 while famous Napoleon Lajoie was the 1903 champion with .355, on= poin‘ below Foxx’s record of thls sea- | son. Henry E. Manush of Washington ranked second to Foxx with .336, six points lower than his figure for 1932 when he was fourth Gehrig at .334, 15 points below 1932, was third, three points above Al Simmons who, contrary to the usual rule, batted nine points high- er this season fhat he did last year. Charles Gehringer followed Simmons with .325 while two of | the youngsters, Appling and Kuhel tied with veteran Gordon Coch- rane for sixth place all with .322. Catcher Willlam Dickey batfed .318 to take ninth place while younz Pinkey Higgins gets by a shgle point over Roy John- fson who had a mark of 313. Unusual Feats Nearly all of the unusual batting | feats of the year were contributed by Champion Foxx. Foxx twice tied the Leagus rec- ord for four long hits in one game: second game of July 2 he account- {ed for a double, a triple and two home runs. June 8 Foxx Tued the league rec- jord for three home runs in one |eame and as these were all mad: |in consecutive fimes at bat and | as he had driven out another cir- cuit blow on his last time at bat he really tied the record made by Bobby Towe May 30, 1894, who made four home runs in consecu- tive times at bat off Pitcher Elton Chamberlain of Cincinnafi. On Augusf T4 Foxx set a new league record when he drove in nine runs off the piftching of Hud- lin and Bean of Cleveland. He drove in seven runs in the game of April 24 and during the season ac- counted for five runs driven in, five times. Over 400 Bases This is the second consecutive year in which the Mack giant has made more than 400 total bases in 1932 he had 438. Also it is the fifth consecufive year in which he has driven in 100 or more rums, leading in 1932 with 169 and this wear with 163. As final comment it may be remarked that in the| double header of July 2 he made finite patience in teaching his line- men exactly what to do on every play, and their work reflects it. The team’s movements look smooth and polished, even when its plays King Features Syndicate, Inc. Grear Britain nghts reserved tenth place On April 24 he crashed three dou- ning up a big score. some smart bles and a home run and in the LATER - | six hits, all for extra bases, in | eight times at bat.

One other | league record was tied when Rob- | ert Johnson of the A's scored five | runs in the St. Louis game of Au-| | gust 25th. | Manush had the longest con- | secutive batting streak of the year | batting safely in 3 games from July 122 to August 25 i Four Long Hits | West tied Foxx's record of four| | long hits in a game by making onc | double, two triples and a home run| lagdinst Chicago on August 5th | Genrig ran his consecutive games | played total to 1350 He started !this streak on Jun 1 1925.

This compares with the 1932 records, Philadelphia, .290, New York, 286, Cleveland, .285 and ‘Washington .284. Senators Show Up Washington was most times at bat, 5524, and made fhe most hi 1586, 67 more than Philadelphia, but was third in runs scored, 850, 556 per game but held opponents to the fewest runs, 665, 4.35 per game. New York scored the most ‘runs 927, 6.0 per game but al- lowed opponents 768 or 5.05 runs per game while Philadelphia, sec- ond in the bafting, counted 875 +uns, 576 per game and yielded 853 runs, 5.61 per game. Philadelphia hit the most two baggers, 207 with Boston, 294 sec- ond; Washington led in triples, 86, with Detroit, 78. second, New York was first in home runs, 144, with Philadelphia, 140, second, St. Louis with 64 was third. Wash- ington was first in sacrifice hits, 128, New York in stolen bases, T4, and in runs driven in, 848. Wash- ington tied the major league rec- ord for most left on bases in a game when on June 22 against Chi~ cago, 18 players were left stranded. Manager Cronin of Washington led in two base hits with 45, his colleague Manush in triples, 17, one more than either Averill and Combs while Foxx with 48 had no competition in home runs. Haas was first in sacrifice hits with 30, Cramer 21, was second while Ben Chapman with 27 stolen bases led Gerald Walker who had 26. Chap- man was thrown out 18 times in attempts to steal and Walker nine times. ——-———— Twenty-five per cent more stu- dents are enrolled in the four schools of agriculture maintained by the University of Minnesota this year than last.

Harper from the latter job. It has been known ever since last spring that Hunk Ander- son's term as head coach would be terminated with the close of the 1933 season; not that Hunk has not given everything he had to the job, but that circumstances dictated a shakeup. Evidently they also dictated a clean sweep, which is just what me, Fighting Irish will have for 1934.| In somé Ways it means starting all over again where the late K. K. Rockne left off. Harper, however, loocked to be the man for the chief diplomatic job. He has, in fact, done a great deal to develop and strengthen Notre Dame's football connections since he came back. at the beshest of the wuniversity's president, to put together the scattered pieces left by Rock. Jesse seemed to fit well into the picture, even though he had been out of touch with things for years. He is well liked by all in the game. If he had any shortcomings as director of ath- letics at South Bend, they may have concerned the business of get- ting all hands and factions work- ing together harmoniously. HAPPY CHOICE Layden's elevation, less than a decads after he ran for his last touchdown with the most tamous team Rockne ever produced, puts young blood in the saddle at South Bend. The choice, so far as T know, of no particular alumni fac- tion, Layden’s selection should help consolidate and ' harmonize them all., There was little or no ballyhoo famous team-mates, but he is @& cool, able and resourceful workman. His coaching results at Duquesna have been little short of amazing. With limited material in a distries dominated by Pitt and Carnegie | Layden had them all worried. His 11933 team lost only to Pitt by a | touchdown. FINE SET-UP Layden still speaks the players Tanguage, which is another reason why he should find no dimculg» getting to the hearts of his squal at Notre Dame. He will find & younger brother, “Mike” Laydemy among the varsity backfield csmk’ | dates. and jn a cousin of Fra k.

He made his lash game one of the greatest when he played a brilliant role in routing Stanford in the 1925 Rose Bowl game, 4 DEMONS ON DEFENSE NEW YORK, Dzc. 27.—Only on¢ basket was tossed from the floof! during a basketball game between two small New York high schools, Shortsville and Victor.
