SPORTS. THE EVENIXG STAR., WASHINGTON. D. C. THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1929.° SPORTS. ~ Catholic University Expects to Have a Formidable Foot Ball Team Next Fall DOWN THE LINE Ui WITH W. 0. McGEZHAN. In the OId Days. MAULIFFE ELATED OVER THE OUTLOOK Loses but Two of 1928 Squad and Gains Much Power From Frosh Eleven. C Heeding not at all the wide- spread yelp against Spring practice, the Cardinals are putting in hard licks daily under the direction of Head Coach Jack McAuliffe. upon a foot ball splurge. making That worthy is optimistic, which is | an attitude rarely met with in grid coaches. ‘'We lose only two of last year's men,” said Jack, “and the material from the freshman team looks good. ‘There are some promising mostly big fellows, and among the new backs are shifty ball carriers, a punter or two and some passers.” It is agreed generally that Me- Auliffe, given the material, can do a | workmanlike fob. Frosh Show Strength. The 1928 freshmen, under the tute- | lage of the enterprising Eddie Lafond, won all their games without being scored against and rolled up 172 points. There were 26 players in the squad and Lafond saw to it that every man | was given as much experience as prac- ticable. In every game every player not on the injured list was given oppor- tunity. One youth who wasn't regarded in the beginning even as a prospect won a first string_ position. This was Nick Monaco, a 175-pound guard. Among the promising new comers to the varsity squad are Frank Fullam, the boxer, and Johnny Lyons, the fast- est_Cardinal sprinter. Both are ends. Three giants are among the upcom- ing, tackles, They are Ed Campbell, Tor} Dundin and Bob O'Connor. An- other big lineman is Ferd Vezzosi, who weighs 240 pounds and is no sloth. The guards _include Monaco and Dinty Collins. Dinty is said to be one tough hombre. Only 5 feet 7 inches tall he weighs 185 pounds. Another powerful youth is Whitey Ambrosi, a center. Oliver Is Good Passer. Johnny Oliver showed class at quarterback for the freshmen and par- ticularly as a passer. Garl de Mello was the first string punter and did 55 and 60 yards consistently. Ed Kane was an elusive broken field runner, as was Fred Guerneiri, who also was_clever 28 a ball toter. Fullback Lou Bertoni was a darb backing up the line. Back from last year's varsity are Oscar Gert, Ross Geno and Tom Hen- nessey, ends; Ed O’'Brien and George Smith’ and Armand Raiche, tackles: Moon Mullen, George Menke and Joe Laign, guards; Tom McCay and Dan D'Esppo. centers; Gene Murphy and Bill Reilly. quarterbacks: Joe Champa, Jerry Healey and Charley Chenworth, half backs, and Capt.-elect Jack Male- vich, fullback. “We've got a tough schedule,” Lafond said, “but you can bank on Jack to come through with the kind of a team to make a real showing.” The players share Lafond's confi- dence in-the head coach.

It is estimated that 75 per cent of those who reside at the Hilltop play the game. About 40 members of the senior class | were to play the qualifying round of a tournament today at Rock Creek. There will be two 16s. It is somewhat of a duffers’ affair. Anyway, the recognized stars of the class have been told politely not to enter. OLF has far outstripped all other sports in _popularity among students of Georgetown Georgetown used strategy to win an 8-to-8 base ball victory over West Vire ginia yesterday. A couple of unexpected bunts upset Charley Bruns, the Moun- taineer pitcher, and helped the Hill- | toppers to score four runs in the fifth inning. Bob Wholey and Johnny Dunn bunted in succession and reached first base easily. These dinky hits were linked with singles by Bozek, Scalzi and Duplin. |~ Jack’ Edmonston, the Georgetown flinger, weakened in the seventh and was relieved by Coppinger.

Hess, Phipps and De Marco pitched for Maryland and were raked for a total of 16 hits. Jack McGann, who has been pounding the ball of late for the Terrapins, again was a star. He made two of his team's six safeties. Wll}l}ams and Hewlett hit homers for V.M. 1L Catholic University's improved ball team put ufll spirited scrap with Navy at Annapolis, but lost by 5 to 2. Lou Hurley let the Middies down with five hits and one earned run. Errors de- cided the issue. The Cardinals were to play Gettysburg at Brookland today. Georgetown's nis team defeated Lafayette, 8 to 1, at Easton, Pa. Deg- nan and Mullvahill sustained the only Blue and Gray loss. . Maryland's racketers were humiliated. 9 to 0. by the Middies, It was Navy's seventh consecutive victory. The Terrapin lacrosse yearlings lost their second game in three when beaten, 4 to 0, by the more experienced junior varsity team of St. John's College of Annapolis.

The Unknown Heroes. colleges are beginning to recognize the fact that they also serve who only T stand and take it on the chin. At Princeton they are erecting a tablet or something to the members of the scrub foot ball teams, past, present and future. At some other university they awarded the block letter to a student who had served for four ypars on the scrub without ever getting one chance in a real ! game or even hoping to get a chance in a real game. That sort of service is real devotion to the alma mater. The man who make the team gets his reward in ego satisfaction and always stands a chance of being & campus hero. bumps from the front line heroes. But the member of the scrub gets nothing but Of course, you cannot develop a varsity team unless you have a supply of scrubs, any more than a champion can get into condition for a contest in the manly art of modified murder, unless he can get a supply of human punching bags upon whom he can test his punches. The scrub then is an essential factor in foot ball and a devoted son of the alma mater—but who wants to be a scrub? STEPS TO FORCE LARGER GOLF BALL NOT TAKEN NEW YORK, May 9 (#.—H. H. Ramsay, vice president of the United States Golf Association, has entered a denial to reports from Chicago quot- ing him as saying the U. 5. G. A. would seek to compel use of a lighter but larger golf ball next year. “I have made no such statement as that nor any statement with regard to the golf ball,” Ramsay said. British golf authorities recently turned down suggestions, originating | in the United States, that a lighter and larger ball be used.

'THE NEW COLLAR KOF CANZONERI-ROUTIS GO NOT FOR TITLE CHICAGO, May 9 (#).—Tony Can- | zoneri, former featherweight champion, will n6t have an opportunity to win back the title from Andre Routis of France, who took the crown from him last Fall, when they meet in a 10-round bout at Chicago Stadium tomorrow night. The engagement will be at 130 pounds, 4 pounds over the featherweight limit. Canzoneri, however, is satisfled, for he believes he is better at the heavier poundage and says he doesn't care for titles, anyway. The bout will top a card including two other 10-round battles. Dick “Honey Boy” Finnegan, Boston junior lightweight, will tackle Armando San- tiago, Cuban puncher, d Otto von Poraf, Norwegian heavyweight, will meet Jack De Mave, blond Dutchman.

To oblige him, the Amateur Athletic Union probably will effect his rein- statement shortly. \ No official action has been taken since Barbuti was suspended, fol- lowing his broadcast of charges that the A. A. U. was cognizant of pay- ments to amateur competitors at in- door meets. The suspension was made with the purpose of forcing Barbuti’s hand, but the Olympic 400- meter champion declined to make specific charges or mention any names. As a consequence the A. A. U. now feels nothing further can be accomplished by maintaining the ban on America’'s only individual winner on the Olympic track at Am- sterdam. Barbuti’s own record is clear, 50 far as the A. A. U. is concerned. LABARBA'S ILLNESS MAY DELAY FIGHT By the Associated Pre: former flyweight champion and now a contender for the bantamweight crown, remained indisposed today as a result of a cold which forced him to let up in his training for his forthcoming bout sensation. the gymnasium by Saturday, he doubt- less will be forced to ask for a postpone- ment of his engagement with Chocolate, now scheduled for May 22.
