He finished the season with .356, well ahead of Williams’ .342. Mickey hits anything within reach, but not very far. Williams, of course, is a mighty shigger. Vernon hails from Marcus Hook. Pa. He went to Washington from Villanova. Frank Sinkwich, Mickey Vernon now a back on the New York Yankees pro football squad, holds the all-time record for yardage gained as a college player. He picked up 4,730 yards in the three years he played with the U. of Georgia, 1940-41-42. This is 650 yards more than Red Grange’s three season total. Bob Fenimore of Okla homa A. and M. is nearest present- day rival, with 3,399 yards gained in 1944-45, compared with Frank's two year (1941-42) figure of 4,003. In 1942 Sinkwich really travelled, set ting an all-time mark of 2,187 yards. His gains were made both by passing and rushing . . . almost equally di vided. Many of the injuries in base ball are bruises and fractures suffered when a fielder runs into a wall. Corp. Harold Friedman of Fort Custer wants something done about H. He believes that canvass mats should be placed over walls, railings and so forth, at least where the danger is greatest. He points out that basketball players get this pro tection when the backboards are close to a wall. - Interest In girls’ professional base ball nearly doubled last season, ir paid admissions to the All-America*.
