Victors of Bond Bowl
Game Finish Schedule
With Perfect Record'
By WHITNEY MARTIN
Associated Press Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 16-(RP)-The
Randolph Field Ramblers, playing
heir football in installments and
lirting with trouble too often for
heir own good, squeezed through
with a 13-6 victory over the Second
Air Force Superbombers in a Treas-
ury Bond Bowl game at the Polo
Grounds yesterday to end their sea-
son undefeated and untied.
A sparse crowd of 8,356 saw the
two Air Force rivals in a bitter
battle on a slick field, with the
first half of the game being played
under a salting of snowflakes. De-
spite the disappointing attendance,
however, the game realized approx-
imately $79,000,000 in war bonds,
due to the sale of blocks of bonds
to large investors.
The underdog Superbombers prac-
ically stole the show and had the
>rofitless satisfaction of winning the
tatistics by a wide margin and the
olace that the clock at the end of
he first half was all that stopped
hem from what seemed a certain
core.
The publicized duel between the
Ramblers' Bill Dudley and the
Second Air Force's Glenn Dobbs
failed to materialize. Although
both stars scintillated on occasion,
the scoring marches were linked to-
gether with little help from these
two men in a ball carrying and
passing way. In fact, Dobbs was
not in the game when the Super-
bombers drove 66 yards for their
lone touchdown.
Late in the first period, the Ram-
lers came to life to score with an
ase and abruptness that was in
harp contrast to their offensive ef-
orts up to that time. From his 49-
ard line Pete Layden dropped back
nd floated a pass far, far down the
ield. Harry Burrus, who had out-
aced the secondary, turned, gath-
red in the ball and ambled the re-
.aining 15 yards over the goal.
Dobbs ran the opening kickoff
of the second half back to his 42,
and John Strzykalski followed with
a 27-yard gallop, but that was the
best the Bombers could do and
when the Ramblers took a punt on
their 17, it was their turn. They
clicked off six straight first downs,
three times plunging for their
yardage on fourth down. Dudley
finally tossed the ball to Johnny
Goodyear for three yards and the
score. Stout Elmer Madarik was
the work horse of the march, bull-
ing through time and again.
The Bombers staged their 66 yard
rive at the start of the final quart-
r without throwing a pass. Sucic,
xho had toted the ball on nearly
very play. driving over for the touch-
own.
The first team also included: Harold Fisher of Texas, JOE PON-
SETTO OF MICHIGAN and Duane Whitehead of Southern California,
backs; Tex Warrington of Auburn, center; Joe Stanowicz of Army and
Bill Hackett of Ohio State, guards; Al Nemetz of Army and Don
Whitmire of Navy, tackles, and Dave Harris of Wake Forest and Don
Wells of Georgia, ends.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-t P)-Green a
Bay's Packers, the National League f
football team that lived up to expec- r
tations, and the New York Giants, e
relegated to the cellar by Septembert
seers, play for the loop's title today
in the Polo Grounds.
The Packers captured the Western
Division flag, dropping two of their
10 games. One of the setbacks was
a 24 to 0 shellacking by the Giants,
cinderella winners of the Eastern
bunting, on the site of tomorrow's
contest four Sundays ago.
Brock, Paschal Injured
As was the case then, e'ach of the
teams has one of its star backs hob-
bled. Lou Brock, brains of the GreenI
Bay backfield, never got into the1
November tussles because of a leg in- d
jury and will see little action in the e
title fray for the same reason. W
Bill Paschal, Giant fullback and e
the first man ever to win the loop d
ground gaining crown in two suc-
cessive years, sat out much of first
meeting with a sore knee. This time
he owns a throbbing ankle that
hasn't been fully tested this week
because of the frozen turf.
Joe Laws, veteran quarterback,
takes over Brock's right halfback du-
ties in the Packer lineup. Howie Liv-
ingston, a rookie from Fullerton,
Calif., Junior College, will be Pas-
chal's replacement.
Rookie Bests Champ
The newcomer, in his first glimpse
of the pass-snatching Don Hutson a
month ago, earned the decision. He
intercepted an early Packer pass by.
circling in front of Hutson and ran
it back 24 yards for the touchdown
that started the Green Bay down-
fall. Later, another theft meant a
second touchdown.
Despite that bad day, Hutson is
the League's scoring leader for the
fifth straight year with 85 points and
rules as the loop's best receiver with
58 catches for 966 yards. Most of I
the passes were thrown by Irv Comp,
sophomore halfback from St. Bene-
dict's.
It is the twenty-fourth meeting of
the two clubs since they opened their,
series in 1928. Each has won 11
games and one resulted in a tie. They
have tangled twice before in title
play-offs, the Giants triumphing in
1938 by a 23 to 17 score and the
Packers winning a year later, 27 to 0,
in Milwaukee.
Tomorrow's contest, however, car-
ries an added spark of rivalry. Arnie
Herber, for many years Hutson's fav-
orite passer, and Red Smith, veteran
Packer line tutor, now are with the
Giants after having left the Wiscon-
sin outfit.
