WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1945 Team of Year Vote Goes fo Army Gridmen Cadets Fariout in Front in Balloting-Detroit Tig- ers Rate Next By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK, Dec. 19—It will come as no surprise to the nine teams that got in the way of the Army steamroller that the mighty West Point football combination has been named the outstanding sports team of the year. The big, speedy, invincible Cadets from the banks the Hudson won the annual Associated Press poll in about the same manner in which they flattened their op- ponents. Of the 76 votes cast by the na- tion’s sports experts, 71 of 76 first place nominations were awarded to Army, most of them with comments like “in a class by itself,” “out of this world,” and other superlatives used time and again during the late grid campaign. In the other five cases the Naticnal Collegiate football kingpins' drew second place ballots. All told, the Cadets piled up a total of 223 points on a basis of three for first, two for nd and one for third. The Detroit Tigers took second place in the voting, receiving one top nomination but plenty of sec- onds and thirds to accumulate 66 points. The world series winners finished 27 points ahead of other championship gaticn—the Cleveland the National Football League. T Rams scored 39 points but tracted two first place votes The outsanding tean place votes in parentheses Army, Football (71) Detroit, Baseball (1) Cleveland, pro Baseball (2) Oklahoma A&M, Basketball Indiana, Football Ft.

Braddock probably should be listened to when he picks Billy Conn to outpoint Joe Louis easily in their second meeting next June. He thinks that Joe, at 32, will have gone over the hill. He warns, how- ever, that “if Billy tries to out- punch Joe he will run into trouble.” . .. Col. Edward R. Bradley, who observed his 86th birthday last week, is reported ready to quit the racing game because of ill health and to have placed his famous Idle Hour Farm in Kentucky on the block. (first Arch Ward, who promoted the new All-American Football con- ference from a faint idea in his own noggin to its present opulent state, declares that the mere formation of the circuit already has cost the rival National League more than $100,000 in additional salaries to its players as insurance against | their jumping the traces. Arch con- cedes it's going to be a tough war, but he is cool and confident. “Any | one of several of our teams has more money behind it than the entire National League,” he says serenely, brushing a couple of million out of his trouser cuff. So long as Blanchard and Davis are snowed in up at West Point it is a little difficult to get excited about any of the bowl games. How- ever, we will say that somebody did a smart bit of promoting for | the Sugar Bowl in bringing to- gether Bob Fenimore, the Okla- homa Aggie Antelope, and Herman Wedemeyer of St. Mary’s, both all- American backs. Hank Iba, coach of the Aggie basketball team, was in town last week telling everyone who would listen that Fenimore not only was the greatest back in the country, but the fastest, and that he could trim Davis in a 100-yard dash by five yards, at| least. That we would have to see. | S e ] | | HOSPITAL NOTES Two medical patients, Peggy Lan- daas and Nels Smith, were dismiss- ed from St. Ann's Hospital yesber-; day. f Alice Sheakley and Barbara Ann Hansen were admitted to Govern- ment Hospital for medical care.
