Star-Packed
Bombers Hit
Iowa Squad
Dobbs, All-Star,
Will Lead Battle
Against Hawks
Second Army Air Force's un
defeated Superbombers, packed
with star upon star, will go
against the mighty Seahawks of
Iowa Pre-Flight Saturday after
noon in Memorial stadium in a
game that may well lead the way
to the national service title for
the victor.
Last Sunday Lincoln football
fans saw many great college
players in the Wings-Fort Warren

and Seahawks tangle it will be
not the college greats but many
players who have won All
Amerioan honors also.
Dobbs Leads Bombers.
Leading the Superbombers in
this, the nation's top grid classic
lor the week, will be Tulsa uni
versity's Glenn Dobbs, who has
won almost every honor in the
game. The giant Oklahoman was
a renowned All-Amet ican in 1942
at Tulsa, leading the Golden Hur
ricane to an undefeated season
and the Sugar Bowl game in
1943. For his supreme playing in
this year's college All Star
Chicago Bears game, Dobbs was
voted by sports writers from all
parts of the country as the most
valuable player to the All-Stars
in the charity classic. The kick
ing, passing and running that he
shows against his opponents have
most of the experts in the nation
singling him out as the country's
finest football player.
Against Colorado university
last Saturday Dobbs entered the
game when the score stood at
6-all and after 24 minutes- of
passing hither and yon the store
stood Superbombers 20, U.C. 6
This shows that he apparently
can t miss the target no matter
how he throws them.
Material is Plentiful.
It won't be all Dobbs for the
Superbombers either, for there is
a lot more material that isn't go
ing to waste on the team. Billy
Sewell, slim Tacoma, Wash.,
back, put eight out of nine passes
into his receivers hands Satur
day, gaining 91 yards. Ray Evans,
former Ail-American from Kan
sas university, and Ed Ulsinki,
ex-Marshall back, have provided
excellent blocking for Dobbs and
Sewell as well as showing some
fancy ground gaining themselves.

and Sewell are Nick Susoeff, All
American from Washington State,
and John Harrington, ex-Mar-quette
star, at the end posts, both
grabbing their share of the aerials
last Saturday. Rugged perform
ance of Guard Russ Gilpin was
another Second AAF highlight
against the Rocky Mountain boys.
There is no worry about re
placements for any of the posi
tions on the Superbomber team
with probably five men available
for every position. They will go
going strong against the Sea
hawks for this game really has
a meaning.

Pinch Single
Gives Cards
OvertimeWin
A pinch-hit single in the last
half of the eleventh inning by
Ken O'Dea, second string catcher,
brought First Baseman Ray San
ders .over the plate from second
and gave the St. Louis Cardinals
a 3-2 victory over the Browns
in the second game of the world
series, knotting the series at one
win apiece. The winning run
came after relief pitcher Blix
Donnelly had squelched a Brownie
rally in the first half of the
eleventh. Donnelly sweep-curved
his way to six strikeouts after
entering the game as relief to
Max Lanier, who gave away two
runs to the Browns in the seventh
inning. Donnelly received credit
for winning the game. Ray Mun
crief, also a relief hurler, was the
loser. Muncrief took over the
pitching for Nelson Potter, who
could not outlast the Cards.
The Cards drew first blood by
scoring: two runs in the fourth
inning to go out ahead 2-0. But
the Brownies were not to be out
done and brought across two
tallies in the seventh to even the
count.
George McQuinn, home-run
hero of the first game, almost
started a serious scoring threat
for the Browns when he put him
self on second with a double in
the eleventh. The Brownie stock
went down a few minutes later
when Card Pitcher Donnelly
caught McQuinn at third after
fielding Chrislman's bunt down
the third base line. Donnelly then
set the Browns down and left
the Cardinals to score the win
ning run.
This is the first time since 1939
that a series game has gone into
extra innings. Thirty-five thou
sand fans saw the long game.
Mort Cooper's two-hit pitching
wasn't quite enough to hold off
the Browns, at least not with the
home run off the bat of George
McQuinn, to score teammate Gene
Moore ahead of him and give the
Brownies the sufficient two runs
to win the series opener, 2-1.
McQuinn s long drive over the
right field stands came in the
fourth with two out after Moore
had punched out a single to place!
himself on the first base sack.
These were the only two hits off
Cooper, the Card pitching ace.
The combined pitching of Cooper
and Donnelly, relief, who came
into the game in the eighth in
ning, was definitely better than
that of the Browns' warhorse,
Denny Galehouse, but still Mc-
Quinn's home run had the better
of the argument.
Galehouse started the game
with an unimpressive record, nine
wins and ten defeats, and worked
in and out of holes during the
first three innings. But after Mc
Quinn had put the Browns out in
front he settled down and pitched
hitless ball until the eighth. The
fourth and fifth frames saw him
put the Redlegs down in order.
The sixth and seventh brought
him four men apiece, snuffing out
a threat brought up by Manager
Billy Southworth when he put
Augie Bergamo up to bat for Emil
Verban and Debs Garms for Mort
Cooper.

Iowa Seahawks
Defense to Slow
Coach Jack Meagher of the
Iowa Seahawks has indicated that
his pre-flight team will go all
out in pass defense to stop sen
sational Glenn Dobbs and his Su
perbomber mates when the two
teams meet in Memorial stadium
at Lincoln Saturday afternoon.
When they met the Olathe, Kas.,
naval air station team last Sat
urday the Seahawks had no
trouble in downing the Clippers,
but they did allow the two Olathe
scores to come on passes, thus
showing that the Seahawks will
have to strengthen their pass de
fense if they expect to keep
Dobbs from completing his aerial
attempts for scores Saturday.
One of the main strategical
parts of Meagher's defense will
be the use of Lt. Jim Poole and
Ensign Perry Schwartz, both for
mer professional players at end
posts on the Seahawk line.
Meagher figures that his ace-in--the-hole
ends will be able to
break thru the strong forward
line of the Bombers to rush Dobbs
while making his passes and gum
up the whole passing machine.

Glenn Dobbs
Mertes, former University of
Iowa star, who supplied two long
touchdown runs against the Clip
pers last Saturday. Mertes works
from a fullback post.
Dobbs will also meet an ex
Tulsan in the fray in the person
of Dell Taylor, former quarter
back and captain of the Golden
Hurricanes from Tulsa where
Dobbs starred two years ago.
Taylor is one of the Seahawks
top ground gainers and is slated
to start at the quarterback post
for the cadets.
Two changes of major notice on
the Iowa lineup are Bob Phillips
taking the end post of Fay
Swanke, and Bob Sullivan re
placing Don Waldrom for the Air
Force game.
The record the Seahawks hold
so fa rthis season is two wins and
one loss. The loss came in the
opener against Michigan by a
12-7 score, but the cadets bounced
back to trounce mighty Minnesota
19-13. The other victory was last
week's spanking of the Olathe
navy team.
Saturday's game will be the
toughest on the Superbombers
schedule and a win will put either
team high in grid ranking.
