2,000,000. . .
... In golf. . . a hole-in-1 is 27,000-
to-1.
... In bowling, a perfect game——a
S00— is bowled about once In 830,-
000 times. Joe Falcaro, world fam
ous bowler, has rolled 00 perfect
games.
... In baseball. . . the odds of seeing
a no-hlt, no-run, no-player-reach
first—will happen. . . . once in 18,-
500 games.

. . . Writing about odds reminds
nte. . . YOU can't really win! 1 Guess
I'll go shoot a few pin-ball games—
oh, hy the way—the odds are. . . .
800 to 1! !
. . . Not long ago, Frank Bull, con
ducted a poll to find out—what they
don’t like—that is, what gets on
their nerves most. . .
. . . One fan said. . -. regarding foot
ball. . . quarterbacks who take all
day in the huddle on fourth down. . .
when everyone (7) knows it's time
to punt. . And—in contrast to this
was tlie kick—grid coaches who play
it safe after getting a 2 touchodwn
lead. There is where Bull and I part
ed company. A 2 touchdown lead Is
—something to play safe. . . Then,
reversing the field again—one fan
moans about football coaches who
pour it on. Another fan dislikes
wrestlers who pound the mat—and
ask a cute girl for a date. . . at the
same time. The fans hate—golfers—
who wiggle and get set, stop, wind
up. . . get set. . . stop.

. . . But the complaint I got the
biggest kick out of came from a
man—a MAN, mind you—who said
he can't stand girl swimmers In ab
breviated suits. . . that are skin
tight. What Is this porld coming to,
anyway.
. . . Pardon me, while I go see a mov
ie tonight starring Esther Williams
—in n skin-tight suit! !
BASKETBALL BOOM
. . . They say. . . that from the fol
lowing list will emerge the national
champ. . . in bnsketball this year.
So—here It is, take your pick.

Alabapia center, Big Jim Homer,
| was the difference as the Tide scored
10 straight wins—and won over
Georgia, last Saturday, 53-45. Homer
i tallied ^1 points, meantime control!-
I ing the backboards and grinning at
J Bulldog efforts in general. Gene Lo-
| rendo, one of the Bulldogs’ “Twin
| Whirlwinds’! garnered 18 points. The
| other twin. Bob Healey, got 10. Mor
gan Harvlll played a bang-up guard
position as the Bulldogs pulled up to
| 27-32 with 10 minutes left. The Inst
j 10 minutes wore loosely played—but
j the Tldo pulled Btendlly away. The
I half-time score was 20-18 in favor
of Alabama.
The Tide's tenth win didn’t come
easy over a determined and hard-
fighting Bulldog team. It was touch
and go all the way—and for the first
time this season the Bulldogs looked
better, even though losing. Jim Grif
fith gave an impressive performance
at center for Georgia.
