PAGE SIX Pick 210-1b. Fullback as Back of Week NEW YORK, Nov. 14—#®—Ed Modzelewski, Maryland fullback, is this week's back of the week in the Associated Press poll of sports writ- ers and broadcasters. Known as the “Mighty Mo” the 210-pound fullback earned the nod for his feats against Navy. Mary- land gained only 138 yards rush- ing and Modzelewski gained 127 of them. Two of his plunges went for touchdowns. Modzelewski proved so pesky in the first half that Navy pulled its secondary closer and closer to the line. This opened the way for Mary- land passing that broke the game wide open for a 40-21 Maryland triumph. The Maryland worknurse was not the only back to gain praise. An- other fullback, Bob Mathias, whose 96-yard touchdown run sparked Stanford to its upset win over Southern California was high on the list. So was Dick Panin’s 88-yard TD. run on Michigan State's first| play from scrimmage, a play that sparked M.SIC. to a 35-0 canquest of Notre Dame. Others praised included Hugh McElhenny, Weshington, who scored three touchdowns against Califor~ nia and convertéq four extra points last week.

They did not need owner Tom Yawkey's fabulous bankroll, obtain- ing outfielder-first baseman Don Lenhardt and veteran pitcher Randy Gumpert in exchange for young southpaw Chuck Stobbs and rookie infielder Mel Hoderlein. But they indicate they have their multi-millionaire boss primed to top all rivals for much needed catching strength and a competent second base replacement for the re- tired Bobby Doerr. Boudreau paved the way for the Sox General Manager Frank Lane in Chicago. “It’s fine for a starter,” Boudreau said in a telephone interview. “And there'll be more deals soon if we can strengthen our catching and infield weaknesses without giving up too much.” C FIVE DIVORCE ACTIONS FILED IN DISTRICT COURT Five divorce actions were filed in U.S. District Court in Juneau to- day.

An attitude of watchful waiting generally followed the report that university presidents, alarmed over the future of the sport, were con- templating reforms likely to affect spring practice, bowl games and the two-platoon system. Yale University, one of the ivy- covered institutions that helped give birth to American football, an- nounced yesterday that the EIli would drop spring practice, begin- ning in 1952. Smaller colleges such as Williams, Wesleyan and Ambherst already had taken such action. Yale was the first of the big ones. Others had talked about it, such‘ as the 17-member Southern Con- rence and the nine-member Pa- ic Coast. 'They recommended the move to their conferdnce directors and to the National Collégiate Ath- letic Assoclation, the parent organi- zation, The Southern, by an overwhelm- ing vote of its presidents, also re- commended banning all bow] games. The Pacific coast suggested reexam- ination of post-season football and the two-platoon system. The situation in other conferences included: Big Ten — Committed to a three- year contract with ‘Rose Bowl. on of spring drills to come up at December meeting.
