BATON RUGE, La, Dec. 1 —

sity squeezed past Tulane 14-13
here today in a rip-smorting foot
ball game.
At the outset, LSU was as hot
as Louisiana pepper sauce, but
Tulane’s Green Wave after a rip

Tiger fury.
Fumbles and penalties spelled
much of the difference for the

the torrid Southwest pace. |
Dodd Pleased
Tech Coach Bobby Dodd favor
ed the choice. He said when Tech
was invited that ‘“I hope they
match us against Baylor, Texas or l
acax :
“We are confident that in Bay
lor and Georgia Tech we have
two teams that will give Orange
Bowl fans the type of game they
like to see,” Patton said. “Both
teams play daring football and
stress offense over defense.”
It will be the second bowl con=-
test between Dodd and George
Sauer, the Baylor coach. Sauer
coached the Kansas team that lost
to Tech in the 1948 Orange Bowl
game, 20-14.
The lopsided victory over Geor=

ning from Missouri in 1940 and
over Kansas in 1948 and losing to
Tulsa in 1945.
Baylor Trips
Rice, 34 To 7
By WILBUR MARTIN
HOUSTON, Tex., Dec. I—(AP}
~—(AP)—Larry Isbell faked, frus
trated and fooled Rice into a hu
miliating 34-13 licking today.
He ran for one touchdown, pass=
ed for another, and figured in two
more as his mates sewed up sec=
ond place in the Seouthwest Con=
ference’s wacky race.
It was a disinteresting, one-sid
ed football game despite the seven
touchdowns and another that.a
penalty rubbed out. From the out
set there was never much doubt
as to the outcome.
Isbell guided the Bears to 237
yards on the ground and 191 in
the air, accounting for 69 yards
running and all of the yardage
gained in the air.
Don Carpenter broke the scor
ing ice in the first period for Bay
lor, plowing over from the one.
He made the final Bear tally, too,
this one from the three. In be
tween, Tsbell scored from the two,
passed to Stan Williams from the
17 for another touchdown, and
Bob Red grabbed Billy Ed Dan
jels fumble. in the air and romped
63 yards for still another.
Rice never got the ball enough
to do much damage in the game’s
early moments, but Dan Drake
hit Bill Howton and Sonny Mec-
Curry with touchdown tosses in
the third and fourth periods. An
other payoff pitch to Howton was
rubbed out by an illegal use of
the hand penalty against the owls.
Drake’s first scoring heave went
11 yards and his last six.
C. 0. Brocato kicked four extra
points for Baylor and Bill Wright
one for Rice.
The win, coupled with Texas
Christian’s 13-2 victory over
Southern Methodist gave Baylor
undisputed second place.
The first Baylor drive came the
#irst time it got the ball, and was
good for 91 yards. The second
covered 60 yards, the third 45, and
the final one 66,

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
BY STERLING SLAPPEY
ATLANTA, Dec. I.— (AP) —The Tennessee Vols who
lived up to their reputation as the nation’s finest football
team, and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, a bunch of
sassy upstarts who astonished their friends and foes with
a magnificent season, eombined today to win 10 All-South
eastern Conference positions, =~ i
Before the season the Volun
teers were picked as the best team
in football in the annual Associat
ed Press pre-campaign poll, After
10 games the Vols are right on top
where they’re supposed to be.
They meet Maryland in the Sugar
Bowl New Year's day.
The six men General Bob Ney
land’s Vols placed on the first All«
SEC tfeam are the six main rea
sons for Tennessee’s success. First
string All-SEC Vols are: Offensive
Back Hank Lauricella; Offensive
Guard John Michels; Defensive
End Doug Atkins; Defensive Guard
Ted Daffer; Defensive Tackle Pug
Pearrian, and Defensive Back Bert
Rechichar.
Georgia Tech, sixth ranked team
in the nation, started the season
with the ranking of a so-so team
playing a rugged schedule. Instead
of losing three or four games Bob=
by Dodd’s Jackets whipped seven
of the better teams in football.
They suffered badly in a 14-14 tie
with Duke. Tech will play in the
Orange Bowl.
Four Jackets who placed on first
offensive and defensive teams are:
Ray Beck, defensive guard; Lamar
Wheat, defensive tackle; Darrell
Crawford, quarterback, and Lum
Snyder, offensive tackle.
Firs¢ Selected
~ The 1951 teams are the first
two-platoon teams picked by the
Asmociated Yress. AP selections
annually are the only ones which
become a part of official South
eastern records. .
Kentucky tied Georgia Tech in
the number of men on the first
seam but, with the exception of
Quarterback Vito Parilli, the Wild
cats did not carry as much sugport
per man as the Yellow Jackets.
Along with Parilli, Kentuckians
making the first team were all of
fensive men, They were Center
Doug Moseley, Guard Gene Don
aldson and End Steve Meilinger.
Vanderbilt and Georgia each
placed two men on the first two
platoons and L. S. U, Alabama,
Mississippi and Mississippi State
placed one each.
Florida failed to place a man on
the first team but scored with four
on the second squad.
The six players from Tech and
Georgia are the first men from
either Georgia college to make the
first team in three years.
l‘z Hank Lauricella won 293 votes,
most for any player, and therby
im captain of the team. Pa
rilli was second with 242 and
| Georgia’s great offensive end,
Harry Babeock, was third with
210. The closest contest for any
position was at defensive tackle
kbetween Tennessee’s Pearman,
Tech’s Wheat and Florida’s Charles |
LaPradd. LaPradd was passed in
votes late in the count by the bet
ter known Tennessee and Tech
stars. {
‘ Double Threats ;
In these days of two platoon
football the Southeastern’s best
backfield examples of double bar
rell threats are Marlow and Rech
ichar. Both made the first string
defensive team and both made the
second string offensive team. They
are the only examples of players
‘ :coring well in votes for each pla
oon. |
Two freshmen made the three—i
team squad—Fullback-Linebacker
Larry Morris of Georgia Tech on
! the third team, and Guard Sid
Fournet of L. S. U. on the second
team. Meilinger is the only soph-~
omore on the first team.
Sports writers, editors, sports
announcers, head coaches and
scouts throughout the Southeastern
Conference assisted in the selec
tion of the team.

Boudreau Says
‘No Trade For
Ted Williams’
BOSTON, Dec, 1 —-’ngP) oo
The chances of trading Ted Wil
liams’ “become fainter and fainter
every hour,” new manager Lou
Boudreau said today as he set a
most exhorbitant price on the Bos~
ton Red Sox super star.
“We want at least three and,
more likely four outstanding play=-
ers, for Williams,” Boudreau ex
plained, .
“We'd demand the ‘guts’ of a
now well-balanced elub and only
the New York Yankees, Cleveland
Indians and Detroit 'figers have
what we want for Ted,”
Alter stressing that Willlams
could not be obtained for any
amount of cash, Boudreau agreed
that his terms were almost impos
sible ones. “It would almost wreck
a strong club to get him,” he
pointed out.
Boudreau said the Red Sox have
yet to receive a single bid for the
services of their temperamental
$125,000-salaried slugger.
“Did you ever consider giving
up Williams te Cleveland for Bob
Lel:ngn and Jim Hegan?” he was
asked.
Much More
~ “No,” Lou replied. “I'd want
much more than that for him.”
~ The new manager exfiessed
interest in obtaining Joe DiMaggio
from the Yankees but for cash.
‘He did concede that he would con
sider the Yankee slugger in a
player swap if the Yankees also
tossed in several of their other
stars he covets.
“At this moment, we do not
have a single deal in progress,”
Boudreau continued. “But I have
high hopes that we will be able
to make some big ones at the base
ball meeting during tae next two
weeks.”
Boudreau appeared only slightly
enthused over the two deals his
club has turned since he succeed
ed Steve O’Neill last month.
Not Pennant Winner
“We're not a pennant winner
with what we have now,” he ex
plained. “We need at feast one
more 15-game pitcher and the in
field now is our major problem.
Getting Gus Niarhos figures fto
improve our catching and Ken
Wood adds defensive strength so
our outfield.
“The acquisition of Don Len
hardt gives us a valuable utility
player and Randy Gumpert should
add strength to the pitching staff.
I rate him as much better than
his past season’s 10-8 record in
dicates.”
At this most early stage, Bou=-
At this most early stage, Boud
reau lists his outfield as Williams,
Dom DiMaggio and Clyde Vollmer.
And his current infield picture in

Tennessee Stops
Vandy, 35-27
KNOXVILLE Tenn., Dec. 1 —
(AP) — A fighting Vanderbiit
football team, fired to great
heights by the sensational passing
of quarterback Bill Wade, gave
mighty Tennessee a real scare to
day before bowing, 35 to 27,
Wade riddled unbeaten Ten
nessee’s secondary with passes and
almost pulled the biggest upset of
the season.
The hard-won victory was the
10th straight of the season for the
Sugar-Bowl bound Volunteers and
marked their first unbeaten and
united season since 1940. It also
was their 20th consecutive win
over a two-year period.
Marlow Leads Ala.
Te 25-7 Vietory -
BY LERQY SIMMS Pl st 45
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 1-—(AP)—A terrific per
formance by Bobby Marlow paced Alabama to a 25-T win =
over the outmanned Auburn Tigers today as 42,000 looked
on. . h
Marlow smashed his way for 233 yards and three touchs
gpwns in 25 carries, The Tigers never were able to»stonhg
m. s e ey e
The 195-pound Trog, Ala., half
back brought his season’s scoring
to 12 touchdowns with today’s
brilliant game, - '
Bobby drove seven yards on the
last play of the first quarter to
open the scoring. In the third per
iod he went for 39 for another and
ended the touchdown parade with
a 22-yard run on the final play of
the third. 4
Bimbo Melton Scores .
In between, liftle Bimbo Mel
ton raced three yards for the sec
ond ’'Bama marker in the second
period, and Auburn’s Fullback
Homer Williams drove seven for
the lone Tiger score in the third.
The Tigers threatened several
times, principally on Willians"
fine running, but were halted by
the 'Bama line. 5
The win was Alabama’s seventh
in the 16-game series, and its
third in four games since the se
ries was resumed in 1948 after a
lapse of more than 40 years. Au
burn has won eight and one game
was a tie,
Two sparkling runs by Williams,
one for 26 and another for 49, kepi
the Auburn hopes flaming in the
opening period, but 'Bama with
Marlow in the van, drove 80 yards
in the last three minutes to gain
a firm upper hand.
Alabama 5-6 Record
The win was Alabama’s fifth
against six losses, and the defeat
gave Auburn a final standing of
five wins and as many defeats,
Auburn lost all 10 a year ago.
Aside from his three touch
downs, Marlow contributed 30
yards in two runs to set the stage
for Melton’s score. Marlow was
used only on offense today. In pre
vious games, he has phyeq on
both platoons, serving as a line
bgfier when the opponent had the
ball.
Melton was next to Marlow in
rushing, netting 109 in 18 carries.
Williams netted 1080 in 15. Parks
and Dooley completed 11 of 21
passes for the Tigers for 121.
'Bama’s rushing yardage was
453, tops for the team this year
against major opposition. Auburn
netted 134 rushing.

i Ameriea’s most popular white shirt!
There are a lot of reasons why he'd like to get
an Arrow Dart! Its medium-point, non-wilt
collar happens to be his favorite. It's comfort
able, good-looking, and stays fresh all day
long. Then all those Arrow de-tailoring extras;
Mitoga cut for trimmer fit; durable buttons
anchored on; superb long wearing “Sanforized”
broadcloth (less than 17, shrinkage). See why
he wants an Arrow Dart? It’s a “can’t miss”
Christmas gift!

Sinks Army To
Tune Of 42-7
By WILL GRIMSLEY A
PHILODELPHIA, Dec. 1 —(AP)
— A quick opening break and a
101-yard (CQ) touchdown run by
Plebe John Raster lit a fuse under
the slumbering Naviv' football
giant today and sent it stamped
ing over Army’s rag-tag forces for
a 42 to 7 victory, It was the most
humiliating Army defeat in the
isfy-year-old service football riva-
A crowd of 99,000, enough to
populate a good sized city, sat in .
awe in municipal statdium’s huge .
horseshoe as the battered Middies,
a big bungling team that had won
only one of its eight previous
games this year, poured it on their
crib - shattered enemy without
mercy. : : o
The worst previous Army shals"
lacking at the hands of the Mid=
shipmen was 24-0 in 1890, when
téréis colorful spectacle was laundx‘-i.fl;
Raster a lean 19-year-old fled
geling from Toledo, Ohio, provided -
the most semsational play eof his
balmy afternoon when he inter
cepted a Fred Meyers pass in his
own end-zone ang burst up the
sidelines like a rifle shot.
Army’s warriors, who had’ been
knocking at touchdown door when
this swift turn took place, just
stood and watched in surprise as
the 170-pound defensive back
streaked the length of the field for
‘the second of Navy’s three first
period scores.
-~ The other chief executioners .
- were Mike Sorrentino, a ball
;handling Houdini from Sharon
Hills, Pa., and Vie Vine, a slash
f ing runner from Garrettsville,
Ohio. .
They engineered the other three
Navy touchdowns in the first half
which followed successively a
flubbed opening kickoff, a fumble
and a short kick by the cadets.
Sorrentino threw for twe of the
scores—a 13-yard pass to Frank
Brady in the opening period anc
an 11-yarder to Dean Smith in the
fourth.
' Jack Perkins and Vine plungec
| over from the one for two others
while the final came in the fading
minutes—as if adding insult to
injury — when Don Fischer re
covered a fumble by Meyers in the
Army end Zone.
