SPORTS - D. C. Gridders Take Field This Week : Southern Maryland Shoe Pairings Made MARYLAND BLAZES TRAIL BY STARTING TOMORROW Georgetown to Begin in New Jersey Tuesday, While Catholic U. Players Will Gather Wednesday. 11 Have Siz able Squads. BY H. C. BYRD. Maryland, Georgetown and Cath- r named, on the gridiron in their first efforts to develop teams to meet their schedules success- fully. Maryland goes out today at College Park, Georgetown's squad gathers in Philadelphia tomorrow morning and practices in the HE next three days will find l olic University, in the orde: afternoon at Ocean City, N. J., W hile Catholic University takes the field Wednesday morning in the Brookland Stadium. All three schools some time ago sent notifications to members of their squads to be on hand, and all have completed their local preliminary arrange- ments to take care of the opening of practice. Maryland begins with the biggest squad it has had in years. For geveral seasons the Old Line squads have been held to 40 or under, but this Fall the number is being raised to nearly 50, and it is likely that a varsity squad of around that number will be carried throughout the season. Last Fall Maryland was caught with virtually no reserve material, and during part of the season had less than two teams on the field. It intends from now on to develo) that a heavy graduation list will only a handful of men and fewer s Maryland had a fine record last year, but was very lucky to get by as well it did. Any team that is successful with very little reserve strength has got to be favored by fortune. Starting its season with only four men gone out of the eleven regulars of last year, Maryland stil is not so op- timistic over its prospects. From the backfield Snyder and Kessler have de- parted, and everybody that read a news- paper last Fall knows how vyaluable Snyder was and what he meant to the team. He was just about the cog that measured the difference between success and lack of success. forward passing, and he was exception- ally good. Crothers and Wondrack, guards, are the other men who will be missing when the squad lines up today. Crothers was one of the best guards in the section, and it simply remains to be seen_whether or not the forward wall can hold together without him. Wond- rack also was a good man. Most of Line Left. Both ends, Dodson and Heagy, will be back on the job, ‘and if Dodson is not bothered by an injury he received last Spring in lacrosse and neither is injured tifs year, they should make an exceptionally good pair. McDonald and Tombard will be back for the tackle positions, but it is possible that McDon- ald may be shifted to guard to fill the hole left by Crothers, and Ribnitzski used in the tackle position. been second-stringing at right tackle for two years, and toward the end of last season gave indications that he was arriving at the status of a regular. Madigan is back at center, and Heintz ought to fill the guard position left | Actually, Heintz | vacant by Wondrack. layed about as much in the position ast year as did Wondrack. In the backfield Radice and Roberts are the regulars left. Both are good men, the former being exceptional on defense and the latter a good all-around players. Roberts is a clever punter and is dangerous at any time that he is carrying the ball. He was bothered some by a bad leg last year, both in foot ball and lacrosse, but it iS hoped that he will stand up better. Evans plaved considerably in the backfield as under- | study to Kessler, and probably will get first choice for quarterback’s job. However, the varsity must depend very considerably on the material from the freshman squad for its backfield strength. G. U. Has Big Squad. Georgetown will start in training with approximately 55 men in its squad. Head Coach Lou Little plans to meet hi: men in Philadelphia tomorrow morning and go with them to Ocean City, N. J. No time will be lost, and as soon as the players reach the Jersey coast they will get on their togs for a session of fundamentals. Little will have the same coaching staff that he used a year ago, with the exception' that Mike Palm, former Penn State quarterback, will return to tutor the backs. Herb Kopf 1s to have charge of the ends and John | DeGrossa the linemen. Georgetown also lost four men from | its 1928 varsity squad—two backs, an| end and a guard. Tomaini is gone| from fle of the ends, Carroll from | guard dnd Duplin and Dwyer from the backfleld. Little expects to fill their positions by shifting second-string men of last season to their places. It is his intention to give Driscoll, substitute ard, a chance at the end job and let im battle’ for it with Gehringer, who &l,uyed second-string _end. Charley alsh, subguard in 1928, probably will take Carroll's job, while Bozek and Scalzi, substitute backs a year ago, seem the most likely candidates to take up the reins where Duplin and Dwyer dropped them. The seven regulars due back are Provincial, end; Mooney and Liston, tackles; Wynkoop, center; Cor- g:z::\o, guard; Hudak and Barabas, Georgetown’s prospects do not seem 80 blue, because Coach Little himself frankly states that he feels he will have a little stronger team than last sea- son, but goes on and says that may not mean the team will finish with a better record. Georgetown may be stronger itself, and yet by facing harder compe- tition may not be able to win as many games. Little is very anxious to go to New York with a clean record to play New York University. About the only real hurdle the Blue and Gray has to face is Western Maryland, and Western Maryland is not likely to bring here a ‘weak eleven, not by any means. ‘When the Catholic University phyee!‘ gather Wednesday they will find that three gridders have stolen a march on them. Jack Malevich, fullback; George Menke, guard, and Capt. Joe Champa already have been working out for sev- eral days, especially devoting a lot of time to punting and handling i:u“ McA&.\.lme will have about 50 his squac el JUDD DOUBLE VICTOR IN SUBURBAN TENNIS! Dean Judd retains his title as’ cham- plon of the Suburban Tennis League by virtue of his successful defense the 1929 tourney, which was completed Yesterday. Judd scored over Colin Stam in straight sets in the singles, 7—5, 6—3, and then, paired with James Thomas, ulso annexed the doubles crown. Lou Doyle and Lee Thurteel were their victims in the doubles, bowing at 6—2, 6—4. Spirited competition marked both title matches, the doubles especially, being much closer than the scores would indicate. The finals were staged on the Wes- ley Heights courts.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., September 2. —Comdr. Jonas H. Ingram, director of athletics at the Naval Academy, declined last night to hold out to Washington fans any hope that the Navy-Georgetown foot ball game this* year will be played in the Capital City. “Lou Little was over to see me,” said Comdr. Ingram, “but nothing came out of our conference. There’s nothing to it, and there isn't any- thing further to say on the subject.” According to a Washington report, Little, head coach and director of athletics at Georgetown Univer: went to Annapolis for the express purpose of persuading Navy officials 1o shift the game to Griffith Sta- dium, the plant of the Washington American League base ball team. [, His argument was that while the 35,000 seating capacity of the base ball fleld might be inadequate for such an attraction, it would be far superior to Farragut Field, at the Academy, where only about 20,000 persons can be accommodated. Little pointed out that when Navy and Georgetown last met on the gridiron, in the season of 1927, the Navy's home plant was too small to take cafe of those who wanted to see the contest. Comdr. Ingram admitted last night that the 1931 Navy-Southern Methodist game will be played either in Balimore or Washington. He | has not yet decided between the | two cities, preferring to wait and see what the response here will be tc the Navy-Notre Dame game at Baltimore Stadium on October 12. The Southern Methodist game in 1930 will be played at Annapolis, he said. near Washington this month. The first of these is to start about two weeks from today and will involve a hundred and more golf- ers of the public links.. It will be the municipal golf championship, to staged at Rock Creek and East Potomac Parks, with the finals slated to be held | at both courses, under the guidance of James D. Preston, national public links committeeman for the United States Golf Association. The second of these events will be one of the two big club invitation golf events scheduled for this Fall. The Bannockburn Golf Club has every ex- pectation that its annual invitation event, scheduled for September 18-21, inclusive, will be up to the high stan- dard set by previous events at Bannock- burn, Entries for the Bannockburn tourney close on Septemher 15, and five flights will qualify in the event. ‘The Congressional Country Club will be host to the star amateur golfers of ‘Washington late in the month, on Sep- tember 25 and 26, as all the leading simon pures of the Capital strive to lift the District amateur crown from Miller B. Stevinson's head. That will not be such an easy task, as Stevinson sounded a warning earlier in the year that he is able to cope with the Con- gressional layout by winning the invi- tation tournament of the club in June. For this event only members of mem- ber clubs having handicaps of 14 or less are eligible. The championship is a 72-hole medal play affair. Indian Spring is to hold its club champlonship during the month, but most of the other clubs have scheduled their club title events for October, al- though Bannockburn plans to start its championship tournament after the in- vitation tourney. The championship event will run over into October. Any one of a half-dozen fine playing youngsters may be victorious in the quest for the District junior champion- ship on Wednesday at the Town and Country Club. Although the entry list, made public today, lacks the names of John C. Shorey, K. F. Kellerman, jr., and Thomas P. Bones, such brilliant golfing youths as Roger Peacock and Byrn Curtiss of Indian Spring, Thomas D. Webb and Charles Evans of Wash- ington and E. K, Lelf. 3d, of Chevy Chase are included in the list of starters who will play 36 holes for the title won last year by Shorey.

HINGS are shaping up auspi- clously for our annual invi- tation tournament late in September and we are look- ing forward to a successful event,” says W. Fred Byrne, chairman of the Bannockburg golf committee, who has just returned to the Capital from a vacation. “Our two-man team championship probably will be concluded the Sunday before our tournament and imme- diately after the tournament we expect to stage the club championship event. ‘This should be hotly contested this year and in my opinion is wide open. There are any number of a group who should figure in it. “Players such as Bill Pendergast, John Shorey, A. E. Alexander, Leo Pass, John Thacker, Luther ~Florine, Harry Krauss, Norman Hall and others know what the game is all about. Our junior player—A. E. Alexander—Ilooks good. Quiet and unassuming, with an ideal golf temperament, he is coming along rapidly, and will make any of | the best about Washington hustle to beat him. His work this Summer does not leave him much time for practice, but you bear him in mind for a lad who will land in a year or two.” Byrne adds that a winsome woman called “The Merry Wido is visiting Bannockburn today, and “we have turned over our weekly event to her. She has been introduced to Old Man | Par—looked him over and decided he should run the women's event. “The Merry Widow is an odd lady. It is her thought that the entrants in this event play their regular 18-hole rounds. She will award three prizes on the odd-numbered holes. Results will be figured on the gross score of the nine odd-numbered holes, minus one-half the regular handicap, half strokes to count as one.” Old Man Par will have’ complete charge of the women's event at Ban- nockburn today. In a nine-hole tour- ney each entrant will be allowed a stroke or strokes on the holes to which she is entitled to strokes under her handicap. SWIMM—ERS COMPETING FOR DISTRICT HONORS Swimmers of five District clubs and several unattached entries were com- peting in the Washington swimming championships, which got under way early today in the McKinley-Tech High School pool. The events were under the auspices of the Welfare and Recreational Asso- ciation of the Office of Public Build- ings and Public Parks. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE and R. C. Dunbar, with 43—12—31, tied s competition, Miss F. M. Harvey finished 1 up on par, while Mrs. R. C. Dunbar was second, 4 down to par. It may be a holiday to many golfers, but it is just plain “labor day” to most of the field at Pebble Beach today, as they strive to avoid the pitfalls of the course on the Monterey Peninsula and qualify for the national amateur cham- pionship. Only 32 in a fleld of 147 can make it. SEXTON AMONG YANKS TO SCORE IN NORWAY OSLO, Norway, September 2 (#).— The touring American track and field stars scored several victories in an inter- national meet here yesterday. Dick Rockaway of Ohio won the 110- meter high hurdles in 14 9-10 second: Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan Negro sprinter, captured the 100-meter dash in 105-10 seconds; Fred Sturdy of Yale won the pole vault with a leap of 13 feet 115-32 inches, and Leo Sex- ton of Georgetown won the 12-pound shotput with a heave of 55 feet 15 39-64 inches. Sexton also placed fourth in the high jump when he cleared the bar at 5 feet 11 inches. Basic Formations Originated by Pop Here are the pairings, as announced |- BY SOL METZGER. “Almost without exception, mod- ern féot ball teams are using one of three basic formations today. Warner is credited with having originated two of them,” wrote Coach Arthur G. Sampson of Tufts, last season following Stanford’s overwhelming victory over West Point. The latest wrinkle of Pop Warner, is his arner’s pet plays of this nature from his new tgmmnn. It will play a leading role during the 1929 season, Against West Point the No. 4 back, Capt.

OW long are we in Washington going to meglect our own municipal household? Can public links golf in Wash- ington hope to progress with- out a well organized and maintained municipal golf association? Are the public golf facilities of the Capital keeping pace with the growth of the city, particularly those in the densely populated Northwest section? These questions are asked 'today by James D. Preston, national public links committeeman for the United States Golf Association, representing Washing- ton on the national committee. Preston has just returned from a trip through the Middle West, during which he at- tended the national public links cham- pionship, with its disappointing show- ing by the Washington public links team, and visited many courses in the section of the country. Here is what Jim has to say of public links condi- tions in Washington. “My Dear Walter: “I was very much interested in your story of August 11 with reference to our local municipal players, for the reason I want to see just what can be done to place ouf courses and players on the sage footing that I find is now prevailing in many of the cities that contribute players to_the annual public licks tournament. In our indifferent mode of running along in the same old fashion, we fail to recognize that our | players’ are brought into competition with tournament seasoned players fos- tered by well organized golf clubs and assoclations. Regarded Seriously. “At no_better place can one get an accurate idea as to just how seriously the public links. snnual event is re- garded than at the svene of the tourna- ment. It is a clearing house of ideas, and this year, Chairman Ganson Depew of the Public Links Section, after seeing the splendid types of boys contributed by the various cities, said over and over again, that the public links tournament had ceased to be an to the players making the best net score | experiment and had taken its rightful place as one of the four great annual ¢hampionships fostered by the United States Golf Assoclation. It is no longer a gathering of players such as one Will find daily on the local courses, but for the most part players who have me- thodically and persistently worked to better their game in order to meet the unusual conditions incident to a na- tional championship. ¢ “Carl Kautfman, who has three times won the public links championship, will rarely play two full rounds of golf dur- ing the week. But he does put in hour after hour of prattice, al times de- voting a whole period to one club. This routine is followed three or four times each week, month in and out. Those | who watched him use his irons at St.| s Louis, with approach shots so close to | the pin that it simply unnerved his op- ponents, only witnessed the natural | results of his hours of constant appli- cation, Another example of prepara- tion for this annual event was the Louisville team Washington Marking Time. “I often wonder just what we can do in this city to meet the competition on the part of city officials of other towns, who are whole heartedly concerned with the welfare of their local players by im- proving present layouts and construct- ng additional courses of championship caliber. This Is just as true of citles much smaller than Washington, as it is of the larger ones. They are rapidly go- ing forward, and we merely marking| time. The public links annual rarely | loses the representation of a city, once the initial appearance has been made. This year there were five additions. “Our local golf courses are certainly bearing a burden. The East Potomac course will always be a good public fee course, but, away from the residen- tial sections of the city, it will never have that following that takes a person- al interest in a course located in a resi- dential section. “The Rock Creek course is now carry- ing a load that is far more than should be saddled on to any golf course. Imag- ine 1,200 pairs of feet treading a green in a single day. It is truly amazing that the course is as good as it is. Twelve hundred rounds on & Sunday is some- thing that has happened more than once, and that was the limitation simply because there was a limitation to the amount of light in which to play. Any one familiar with the section contiguous to the Rock Creek course cannot fail to note the steady building of residences that is going on and unquestionably it will mean additional patronage for this golf_course. “The new Business High School is to be located at Thirteenth and Upshur streets, and it is not unreasonable to believe that this will prove another fac- tor contributing to the patronage of this golf course. The present concession- naire at the Rock Creek course, several year ago in a way sensed this eventual crowding, by securing the services of a competent golf architect, to make a survey of the available land adjacent to the present course to see if nine addi- tional holes could be constructed. Un- fortunately his was an adverse report, for there wasn't enough usable land to rmit of further construction. “Qutside of the possible lengthenin; Fenders tors es in Stock North 7177 1 Block Below Ave. Radiators, TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats ° EISEMAN'S, 7th & F Low prices cut still lower to wind u chil‘l:‘ls sale o{ new used lrnded::l tires Most arsizes still z:nfllble — but to be sure not to miss the best tire bargains ever.

The same system of double greens now in use at East Potomac Park will eventually have to be built at Rock Creek, for even with the herolc work of an army of grecns- keepers, they cannot successfully battle against the present overwhelming wear and tear that this single set of greens is subjected to. “I do not mind working for the success of municipal golf. I belleve I can truthfully say that I have had many very happy hours in promoting tournaments that brought together a large number of players. But what I see others in this town are totally in- different to, and that is the Municipal golf cause has now reached such pro- portions that it has ceased to be the plaything or hobby of one man to make it a success. Nothing but a well organized and maintained municipal golf association in this city can bring the results we should show. Other citles are doing this very thing better and beter each year. How long are w going to neglect our own household?” | D. .
