BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 29.— That paen of thanksgiving rising today comes from the Nation’s foot ball prognostica- tors, celebrating the virtual wind-up of as topsy-turvy a season as ever troubled a selector's waking hours. From this corner, prospects for to- day's battles seemed about as follows: Alabama-Vand This is the last obstacle in the path of Alabama’s march to an undefeated and untied season as well as a possible bid to the Rose Bowl Vanderbilt's Com- modores may furnish rugged opposi- tion, but the Crimson Tide looks much too strong.

Colgate-Brown: Another Rose Bowl candidate, should wind-up ular season with a comfortable Pitt-Carnegie: And still another team which would like to play at Pasadena—Pitt.

Coach Jim Pixlee of the Colonials will begin planning in earnest the development of the District of Columbia team that will be thrown against the Alabama All-Stars at Griffith Stadium Decem- ber 8 in the Almas Temple benefit | game. Pixlee has called first practice for the local bunch for Monday afternoon. Leo Roskowski, former all-America tackle with Ohio State, is the latest addition to the District of Columbia squad. Since his graduation two years ago, Roskowski has played pro ball. He lives in Washington between sea- sons. He will likely start at left tackle, and if he does he may oppose Stone- wall Hupke, as it is figured the 'Bama star will be used on the right side. Along with the former Buckeye luminary & squad of 22 players, 14 re- cruited from George Washington U., have been signed for the game. Johnny Fenlon, who was a shining light for the Colonials only last year, is among the bunch. Tickets for the game were on sale today at Griffith Stadium.

The battle of Bears and Lions in Detroit today will be one of the best any field has seen. Pittsburgh, Colgate, Temple, Army and Navy all have more work to look after.

So careful has the “Imp” been prepared for a timely bid for championship recognition that Ray has participated in only 11 fights, only three of which could be classed & major scrap. Now he finally seems to have reached the make-or-break stage. He made his first big bid almost a year ago against Tommy Loughran, and lost. Then he tried again, facing an- other top-flight foe in Walter Neusel. Again he lost. He was temporarily retired by Lenny, with a bad side given as the reason. Tomorrow he es- the mammoth Italian - American youngster in a scheduled 10-round bout at the Washington Auditorium. Marty, now 27 years of age, and with most of his fistic career behind him, is a veteran of a couple of hundred fights. Impellettiere will be fighting his twelfth scrap, Similarity in Careers. OMEHOW there seems to be a similarity in the careers to date ot the two heavyweight gladiators who battle for the benefit of a Christ- mas basket fund, and, of course, them- selves. It seems only a short time back—actually, it was eight years— that Gallagher, then an overgrown boy with a perfect physique and a great fighting heart, was looked upon as a possible world champion in the making. He appeared to have every- thing. His contract was fought over by astute ring managers. Great gobs of dough was spent in an attempt to “sell” Gallagher. But Marty never made good. That he retained his popularity in Wash- ington after heaping failure upon failure was due to a great personality. As 2 fighter he never fulfilled prom- ises. Now, at 27, he can do nothing but look back. Like the Gallagher of a few years back, Impellettiere is touted as a potential hunk of title timber. Owner of a mag- nificent build which towers 6 feet 7!; inches in the air, and over which is draped 265 pounds, the “Imp” seems to have everything. Spend Fortune on “Imp.” ORE than $100,000 has been re- ported spent on Impellettiere by his manager, Harry Lenny, who gave up one of the largest ring “stables” in the coum.*w pilot this says a “comeback” that is as different from Gallagher’s fre- quent “comebacks” as day is different from night. The “Imp” is fighting seriously; Marty is treating boxing as a sideline. Just Suppose. HETHER Lenny and Impellet- tiere will admit it or.not, it is - evident they do not regard Gallagher highly. To them he repre- sents the first step—and a not-too- steep step—in another march upward. ‘That his man hasn’t laced on a regu- lation glove since last December doesn’t seem to make much differ- ence to Lenny. He predicts a kayo for his oversized battler, and both fairly ooze with confidence. But somehow the specter of Marty Gallagher, the prospect, rises. His legion of well-wishers have been hoping for a belated fulfillment of promise from this good-natured giant for years. They've wanted to see him suddenly come to life and belt out the Browns, Barrys, Tows and a score of other battlers as he should. What if he should suddenly come to life to- morrow for 30 brief minutes, for 10 rounds show what has been’ lack- ing for eight years and miraculously reveal at the mellowing fistic age of 27 the promise displayed in 1926, 1927 and 1928, when he fought 23 fights and had yet to lose? What if he should crank up a punch with all those years of pent-up power packed in it and catch Lenny's reputed $100,- 000 investment on the lug? We'll admit the prospects aren’t bright, but more astound- ing things have happened. If we were Mr. Lenny we'd cele- brate Thanksgiving tonight with reservations.

Championship Grace. 7AY NONCOMBATANT writes in to get a list of the most graceful stars in sport. When it comes to pitching, I'd name Walter Johnson and Dizzy Dean, each with the same loose, smooth, free motion. When it comes to batting and field- ing, the award goes to Larry Lajoie, the old Cleveland second baseman, who had no equal. The most graceful golfer I ever saw with the largest amount of rhythm was Bobby Jones. Vardon was just about his equal until Harry reached the putting green. The most graceful fighter T ever looked at was Jack Delaney, the light heavyweight champion. Probably the most graceful foot ball player was Red Grange. If there was any greater grace on a gridiron I don't recall it now. The most graceful runner was Billy Carr of Pennsylvania, the quarter- miler who beat Ben Eastman. If there was nother batter with the grace of Lajoie, it was Joe Jackson— shoeless Joe, the Carolina crashmith. There was an artist with the ash. In long distance running there was no one to compare with the grace of Paavo Nurmi. What is grace? It is largely a mixture of form and ease and rhythm. Its chief quality is lack of extra effort—a certain form of smoothness, which paints its own picture. ‘There is plenty in the way of grace that belongs to Virginia Van Wie, the women's golf champion, who is one of the best swingers the old game can show. There is no sign of extra ef- fort or hard hitting in her game. If you want grace in high diving take a look at Pete Des Jardins, former Olympic champion, now a pro. You'll get both eyes full, Stanford vs. ——. ‘The nomination of Stanford for the Rose Bowl assignment was a certainty after the California game. Stanford had to play real foot ball to win this one with two of its stars missing—Grayson, injured, and Mos- crip, out. For California had a stronger team than its season’s record showed, with a star back in Willlams. Today’s results should give a good line on the Rose Bowl challenger from East or South. Pitt is the strongest team in the East, and Ala- bama, so far, is the best in the South, barring an unlooked-for ex- plosion today in Birmingham.

RBANA, IlIl.—The moot ques- tion of Minnesota's foot ball supremacy—certain to be a lively topic for hot stove leagues from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific this Winter—soon will be left to he “numbers” to decide. And by “numbers” is meant the Dickinson rating system as worked | out by Prof. Frank Dickinson of the | University of Illinois, where he is— yes, a professor of economics. It began 10 years ago in a class room when the professor, attempting to add zest to a dull course in eco- nomics, substituted foot ball teams for prices in explaining the portance of index numbers in deter- mining the value of money. No sooner had he mentioned the words foot ball than a particularly uninterested student who had “slept” through most of his lectures perked up in his seat and displayed a new interest in economics, im- | That means, Minnesota fans insist, | yards in 100 tries for an average of | Wisconsin in his final | No Tricks, Professor.

Metropolitan newspapers picked up | the story and it was not many days before the Dickinson system had a national following. Since then it has been used annually to determine the winner of the Jack Rissman Trophy, won permanently by Notre Dame for first place rating three times within a decade, and the Rockne Memorial Trophy, on which Michigan already has two legs on the same basis. In picking his teams Dr. Dickinson proceeds in a systematic manner and i1s emphatic in declaring the team h2 names is not necessarily a national champion. “Honor to Whom . . .!"” | Y RATING merely means that M the team I select has over- come stronger opposition than any other team in the Nation—the strength of the opposition being meas- ured by my method of rating, which gives more credit for beating strong teams.” he says Throughout the foot ball season, with the aid of Mrs. Dickinson, he | keeps the record of 110 collegiate teams, placing them into first and second divisions after their final games.
