AP Poll Shows
Football Stars
Not So Dumb j
NEW YORK. Dec. 21—,/B—An
Associated Press survey of All-Am
erica football players and leading
teams showed tocjpy many gridiron
stars are better than average stu
dents—contrary to the general idea.
Notable among the headliners who
also shine in the classroom are Dick
Kazmaier of Princeton. Hank Lau
ricella of Tennessee, Bill McColl of
Stanford, Jim Weathcrall of Okla
homa, Joe Palumbo of Virginia, De
wey McConnell of Wyoming, and
Bob Ward of Maryland—all first
team All-America.
The fact is that the modern
collegiate game has become so fast
that the slow, dumb type of athlete
can’t make the grade.
Tennessee’s team, top ranked na
tionally, averaged 2.52 against a
perfect academic score of 4.00, which
would be all A. The university av
erage for all male students was
2.10. Lauricella averaged 2.6 and
made the honor roll in two out of
three quarters. Fullback Andy Ko
znr made 2.8.
Bill McColl, Stanford's towering j
end, has a B-plus average and is
a pre-medical student.
Dick Kazmaier, the Princeton |
glamor back of the year, is a major
psychology with a 3-plus average1
which is just below' Phi Beta Kappa j
rating.
Weatherall, the Oklahoma two- j
time All-America tackle, majors in
business administration and has a
B average.

[f Your Luck Is In,
It's Still Doubtful
If You Will Win
What are your chances of win
ning, losing, getting killed in an
auto accident, or of giving birth
to a left-handed son who is six
feet tall?
Folks with a mathematical mind
and plenty of time on their hands |
figure these things to a high degree !
of accuracy. To settle a thousand ;
arguments which pop up during a
year (most of them referred to a i
harrassed sports editor) we are |
printing some of the odds on sports .
events anu other subjects:
Chances that a pitcher will ach- !
ieve a no-hit game are 1 in 2,577. j
When you stack up against a j
one-armed bandit, the odds are
3,000 to 1 against hittjng the jack- j
pot in the slot machine.
An auto racer faces odds of 2,- I
700 to 1 that he will be killed on
the track.
The gamblers quote you odds of
100 to 1 that you can’t pick 10
winners out of 10 football games— i
but the actual chances against the j
feat are 1,023 to 1.
Baseball fans who pull for the
home team have a 5 to 4 chance of
going home happy; the home team
wins five out of every nine games.
When you are driving at the
speed of 42 miles an hour, the
chances are 7 to 1 greater that
you will be involved in an accident
than if you were traveling at 25.
In writing a book, chances are
that you will use the letter "e”
(the most frequently utilized let
ter i 120 times while using the "z"
twice.
If you want your unborn son to
be a left-handed baseball pitcher,
chances are 12 to 1 you will be dis
appointed, that being the ratio of
right-handers to southpaws.
Chances are 13 to 1 against your
boy being a 6-footer so that he can
make the basketball team.
P. S.—Chances that you and I
will be broke the day after Christ
mas, one million to one.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 21—iJPl—Joey
Maxim says that if he defends his
light heavyweight title against Hn

in New York than in San Francisco.
He explained he didn’t "like the
thick ring mat called for by Calif
ornia law. I depend a lot on fast

of mat slows me up.”
He offered yesterday to meet the
Seattle boxer Feb. 28. Both New

A1 Weill, International Boxing
Club matchmaker, wired the offer
to Jack Hurley .Matthew’s manager.!
Hurley has not been seeing eye to1

on television.
Matthews beat Bob Murphy in j

title by knocking out Freddie Mills'
in London in 1950, has defended it!
once by beating Murphy last August. |

— EMPIRE WANT ADS PAY —
The Alaska Legislature, early
in its most recent session, mem
orialized the President and the
Department of State concerning
the protection of Alaska's fisher
ies from encroachment by foreign
nationals.
Specifically, t h e memorials
prayed' “that the Department of
State take immediate steps to se
cure an effective agreement with
Japan that will assure the United
States that no Japanese fishing
vessels will be permittted to en
gage in the fisheries oi the Pacific
Coast of North America and that
no peace treaty be concluded with
Japan that does not contain such a
provision."
Those memorials seems to have
been worth less than the paper
they were mimeographed on. At
any rate, the peace treaty with
Japan was signed at San Francis
co in September and it did not
contain a provision to protect
the Alaska coastal fisheries.
The State Department is now
in the process of negotiating a
fisheries treaty with Japan and,
as has happened all too frequently
in recent negotiations with foreign
governments, we do not appear to
be getting the best of the bargain.
The Japanese have demanded,
for one thing, that they be al
lowed to fish in “the Aleutian
Sea.” The exact location and
boundaries of this “sea” have not
been reported, but it begins to
sound very much as though Jap
anese fishing vessels may again
be operating in Bering Sea one
of these days, as they did before
World War II.
The fisheries of Japan have al
ready damaged American, and Al
askan, fishermen to an extent
that is difficult to assay precisely.
The damage has been done by
imports of Japanese-caught fish,
particularly tuna.
Imports of foreign fishery pro
ducts to the United States have in
creased to a startling extent in
the past few years. For example,
foreign fish made up about eight
percent of the total fish sold on
the United tSates market in 1948.
In 1949, foreign fish had climbed
to 13 percent of total sales in the
United States and in 1950 it was
up to 29 percent, according to Dr.
Wilbert Chapman, research dir
ector of the American Tunaboat
Association.
It is only occasionally, of course,
that tuna are caught in quantities
in or even near Alaskan waters.
But many Alaska fishing vessels
and fishermen have journeyed to
Washington, Oregon and Califor
nia waters to engage in tuna
fishing.
This season there were very
heavy imports of Japanese tuna
and the price offered the Ameri
can fishermen for their domestic
catches were so low that many of
them tied up their boats.
In addition to the direct effect
on the tuna price, all fishery pro
ducts sold in this country, whether
they are produced here or shipped
in from abroad, are in competi
tion with Alaska's fishery pro
ducts.
Imports of substantial quanti
ties of low-priced foreign fish is
bound, in the long run, to depress
the market for Alaska's salmon
and halibut.
Some 900 fishermen met in Se
attle not long ago to discuss the

they can do something about it.
What they are aiming at is a 45
percent tariff on ail tuna imports
to the- United States.
One of the main speakers at
the Seattle meeting was Fred Wol
leson, who for many years trolled
fer salmon in Southeast Alaska,
where he was widely known as
"The Yakima Kid.”
Last summer, during the meet
ing for the signing of the Japan
ese peace treaty, Wollcscn organ
ized a .sizeable demonstration off
* he Qclden Gate by vessels of the
j tun.f fleet. The demonstration was
to call attention to the need for
I protecting American fishermen,
i but like the memorials of the Al
aska Legislature, it went unheed
ed.
Several western Senators and
Representatives have promised to
take up the cause lor the fisher
men and to put over a tariff. It
can be assumed that this program
will have little support from our
State Department, which in late
years has been consistent in cut
ting, rather than increasing, the
tariffs on foreign imports.
