Fullback as
Back of Week
NEW YORK. Nov. 14— fr—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 worxnurse 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
T.D. run on Michigan State’s first
play from scrimmage, a play that
sparked M.S.C. to a 35-0 conquest
Of Notre Dame.
Others praised Included Hugh
McElhcnny, Washington, who scored
three touchdowns against Califor
nia and converts four extra points
last week.

Red Sox
Starling
Trading
BOSTON, Nov. 14—W—Now that
the Boston Red Sox have made
their first 1952 move — a four player
straight swap with the Chicago
White Sox—General Manager Joe
Cronin and Lou Boudreau, the new
pilot, indicate they will do much
more player dickering during next
month's baseball meetings.
They did not need owner Tom
Yawkey’s fabulous bankroll, obtain
ing outfielder-first baseman Don
Lenhnrdt and veteran pitcher Randy
Gumpert in exchange for young
southpaw Chuck Stobbs and rookie
infielder Mel Hoderlcin.
But they indicate they have their
multi-millionaire boss printed 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
deal in a conference with White
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
JOQ much."

Major Colleges
May Quit Spring
Football Training
NEW YORK, Nov. 14—UPI—Many
of the nation’s major colleges were
ready today to follow Yale’s exam
ple of dropping spring football, but
they were playing It cagey — they
wanted assurances it would be done

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 Ell
would drop spring practice, begin
ning In 1952.
Smaller colleges such as Williams,
Wesleyan and Amherst 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
ference and the nine-member Pa
cific Coast. They recommended the
move to their conference directors
and to the National Collegiate Ath
letic Association, the parent organi
zation.
The Southern, by an overwhelm
ing vote of Its presidents, also re
commended banning all bowl games.
The Pacific coast suggested reexam
ination of post-season football and
the two-platoon system.
The situation in - '.her conferences
included:
Big Ten — Committed to a three
year contract with Rose Bowl.
Question of spring drills to come
up at December meeting. Secre
tary Kenneth (Pug) Wilson say3
he doesn’t know members' attitude.
