His Fordham Rams won a traditional game against weak X. Y. U.

in Saturday storm and close their season against Syracuse this weekend. The roach said he wa? still shaking. "In was afraid for my life," said Danowski. "It was pretty hard to concentrate on good football with parts of the Polo Grounds roof flying around. And then yesterday Steve Owen gave me hell for muddying up his ball field, so it was a bad day all around.

"Syracuse has a fine passer and runner in Bemie Cus-tis and they use a single-wing with an unbalanced line different than anybody else. There are 25 seniors on the Ram squad and I've given up trying to predict what they'll do. This is a funny Fordham team it blows hot and cold. But, naturally, I hope these fellows wind up their college careers in a real burst of glory." Fordham, which has won six out of seven before disappointing crowds, may wind up in one of the bowl games. Danowski said that he and his playere are willing but that he could not speak for the Fordham authorities.

He admitted that he had received "feelers" from the 'Gator Bowl. REPORT ON NAVY Came a report from Johnny "Maiier, basketball coach at West Foint who scouted Xavy in six games for Army. "I don't like to spout the old stuff about the uncertainties of traditional games," he said, "but I was thoroughly indoctrinated two years ago when Navy, which had lost ail of its earlier games, held Army, which had won all of its earlier games, to a 21-to-21 tie. "To my mind, this year's Navy team is in a better position to pull one out of the hat than that Navy team of 10-R Eddie Erdelatz has fine personnel but has had a lot of things to contend with a tough schedule a lot of injuries. "Now Navy has the potential ability to rise on any Saturday at full strength and some of the thing3 that made Navy weak earlier make it strong for us.

For instance, subs gained experience while good regulars were injured. Now the regulars are bark and the experience gained by the subs gives the Middies greater depth. "Navy has a fine running attack. They can move the ball and keep possession. Bob Zastrow is a good passer if given proper protection.

On defense, Navy is big and rugged. It will have good kicking. "Lou Little made the best anaylsia of Navy here. In all of its games. Navy has had bad spots spaces of from five minutes to a full period in which the Middies did things wrong.

OLD PAL IN GREASE Steve Owen's happiness because his Giants brat the Philadelphia Eagles was marred by the fact that defeat seems to have put the job of Steve's old pal, Greasy Neale, in jeopardy. "I've seen the stories that 01' Grease is having a little trouble and it's always tough working for about 200 quarterbacks as he has been. If they'll look back they'll see that he has done a terrific job in Philadelphia over the years. But he could still call the plays for me.

I love him and I'll continue to love him until a week from next Sunday when I'll have to hate him a couple of hours again. That's because I hope to get you fellows out to freeze at the playoff game on Dec. FURTHER PRO REPORT Red Strader of the Yanks said that he felt like an authority on losing after his recent experiences with the Bears, the Rams and the Lions. His tPam is moving out of the animal kingdom for a game with the Giants this Sunday. "Chief reason we lost to Detroit on Thanksgiving Day was that we dropped five or six passes in the open," said Strader.

"We missed Jack Russell at left end. He'll be back for the Giants' game and that may help. But nobody has to warn me that the Giants will be tough. Steve has done an outstanding job at the ToR) Grounds." Greasy Neale told a little story about Biggie Sherman, his former player and a good friend who is now a backfield coach for the Giants. "After the game," said Greasy, "Sherman came over lo shake hands and say, 'I should be glad to win but this is the first time in my life I ever hated LITTLE VIEWS "WITH ALARM And finally, there was Coach Little of Columbia.

"I have nothing to report," he said, "but I find myself worrying about the decline in football attendance. From the standpoint of attendance this is the best game football has ever known and attendance should be high. But the crowds have been far below normal for games that carried no great national significance. "Perhaps the price of tickets is wrong. Maybe money is tighter.

I wonder whether the two-platoon system has something to do with it and has taken some of the personality out of the game by making a contest of squad competition rather than team competition. At one of these meetings, Curly Lambeau, a roach, told how he preferred to stay home on Saturdays and watch several games on television rather than buck the crowds and wrestle with parking problems. It could be that too manv people prefer to get their football by playing with dials and that TV is doing great harm. These are things that should be thought about and discussed by the college authorities before next season." Little said he had no solutions to offer and that he was merely wondering out loud.
