Hailed for # Tie With Army

George Sauer, J. C. Football Speaker, Named UP Coach of the Week By CARL LTJKDQTJIST

United Press Sports Writer New York—His football team

didn't win a game all season—in fact there were only three other major squads in the nation with records as bad.

Eight straight times this sea-ton, 12 times in a row over the past two seasons, his team had its colors dipped into the dirt

He's the United Press coach of the week. George' Sauer, whose Navy Midshipmen never quit fighting, never gained a victory, yet engineered one of the big upsets of the year—that astounding 21-21 tie with Army's

all-conquering Cadets. Sauer will be guest speaker at

the annual Johnson City High School football award dinner next Tuesday. The' dinner, scheduled at 6:30 p. m. at the C. F. J. Diner, is sponsored by the -Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs of Johnson City.

Everybody, it seemed, gave up on Sauer's oft-mauled Midship­men, and the legions who made the pilgrimage to Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium told them­selves the football game didn't much matter but that it was worth the trip to see the color, the pageantry, and the celebri­

ties. What they forgot, but what

Sauer, the first civilian coach at Navy since 1933 remembered, was that in spite of the team's poor record, it never once quit on the field—never gave up in disgust.

What folks also seemed to forget was that in compiling that un-victorious record Navy played the toughest schedule of any team in the nation.

Six of its nine opponents were unbeaten at the time they faced Navy—California, Cornell, Duke, Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, and Army.

Three of them, California,

6Y9 Paragons to Unveil Streamlined Cage Team

Notre Dame and Army, still are unbeaten. Cornell wound up with only one defeat and as champion of the Ivy League.

Sauer, a tall, congenial Ne­braska All-America of 1933 vin­tage, was totally unfamiliar with the atmosphere of defeat in which he found himself.

For two years he had led the Kansas Jayhawkers to the co-championship of the Big Seven and as a smashing fullback and tremendous left-footed punter at Nebraska, he was key man as the Cornhuskers rang up three straight conference champion­ships.

A man who literally breathed

the lore of great gridiron feats, he had hoped his first-born youngster would be a son so he could train him to be a grid star and so he could name him for his old .Nebraska coach, Dana X. Bible.

He has two children, a daugh­ter, Dana, 6, and the son, George, Jr., 4, who has a great football name to live up to even if he wasn't named for Bible.

Nothing that ever happened to him in football stirred him so much as Navy's performance against Army. In the dressing room after the game, tears streamed from his eyes and he

wasn't the least bit ashamed of them.

As his players hoisted him to their shoulders, he came to rest atop a uniform trunk and lifted his arms as if in a toast—"to the fightingest gang of men I ever coached."

But what was most significant of all—something that bodes no good for Navy opponents next year — was his conviction that the Middies now are on the long road back.

Long weeks of hard work in which he patiently installed his new system began to pay off. Players began to handle both

offensive and ^defensive assign­ments with precision and finesse.

Given last-week changes in formation in which they mixed their "T" with a single wing to confuse the Cadets, they came through so nicely they had con­trol of the ball three-fourths of the time.

Sauer admitted, though, that what he had overlooked as a civilian coach was how tremen­dously important the Army game was to the boys.

"I never before saw a team rise so magnificently to the oc­casion," he said. "That was the greatest part of it all for me."

Hamilton's Five Opposes E J Stars On Y. M. C. A. Court

The Y. M. C. A. Paragons will unveil their streamlined 1948-49 basketball team tonight on the "Y" court with a new coach, Leon Hamilton, handling the reins.

They will take to the floor at 8:15 p. m. against the £ J A. A. All-Stars, following a 7 p. m. pre­liminary between Ansco and Mess-ner's Jewelers.

Hamilton, the Triplets' baseball manager and former House of David great, has cut the Paragon squad to nine men—far fewer than-the team had last season. STARTING LINEUP

Starting for the Paragons to­night will be be Carl Kolosna and Dick Ferguson at forwards, Jim Heavener at center, and Jim Hercinger and Don Stanford at the guards.

Hercinger and Ferguson are the only members of the starting five rom outside the Triple Cities

area. Former Ithaca College play­ers, they now are jtaking post graduate work at their alma mater.

Hercinger, an outfielder with Hamilton, Ont., in the Pony League, has had offers from the Syracuse professional Nats, but turned them down to finish his education. STABBED FOB YONDA'S

Kolosna, Ferguson's running mate at forward, was one of the brightest stars for Yonda's Grill last season. *

Heavener was the center of the Endicott Legion five, Southern Tier tournament champion of 1947-48. Stanford is the only hold­over.

Substitutes expected to see ac-jtion are Gary Davison, Chuck Be-Gell, Dick-Baldwin and Red Smith.

COGS IN BASKETBALL MACHINE-These five natives of the Triple Cities area play important roles in the Syracuse University basketball machine this season. Left to right, they are Marc Guley, chief assistant to head coach Lew Andreas; Earl Ackley, wfio gained a starting berth late last season; Bob Savage, votejd most improved player on last year's squad; Chuck/Steveskey, a star on last year's fresh­man team; and Andy Mogish, starting <his second season as freshman coach for the Orange. Al l except Ackley are formei/Central High players. Ackley is from

Johnson City.
