SP ORTS. s THE EVENING ?‘—lorida ‘ LIKELY T0 REPEAT GREAT 190 TEAM Eleven to Cope With Its” Schedule. BY. H. C. BYRD. ROBABLY no school in the South 1ast year was more talked of or wriffen about than the Univer- sity of Florida. After a more or less indifferent series of foot ball teams, the 'Gators just before last sea- son acquired a new coach, Charley Bachman, who came from Kansas. ‘That acquisition . must have meant a good deal, because with it the caliber of Florida foot ball went way up, and, according to almost everybody's opin- jon, is likely to stay up. One of the strongest elevens in the South graced the Florida gridiron in 1928. * Bachman did an exceptionally good job at Florida last season and there is general respect for him throughout the South. Those who have come in con- tact with him not only have high re- gard for his ability as a coach, but also look upon him as the type of man with whom it is a pleasure and profit to be associated. Coach Bachman Modest. Notwithstanding the really wonderful record he made in 19: is first year with Florida, Bachman is about as mod- est a fellow as could be found in a month of Sundays. When asked re- cently what he thought of the prospects of his own school and of other schools in the Southern Conference, his reply was that being a newcomer in the con- ference he did not feel that he was competent to judge either the prospects of his own eleven or the prospects of others. Some of the schools Florida met in 1928 probably think that Bachman ls more than an average judge of foot ball and that he knows a little something about the other conference elevens. Anw way, he knew enough about sev- eral of them to give them good lacings. It is doubtful if a Washington and Lee eleven has in many years taken such a beating as that 60-to-6 whipping Bach- man’s team handed it last Thanksgiving day. “It is impossible for me to give any {dea of what we expect to accomplish during the coming season,” says Bach- man. - “You know I have not been in the Southern Conference long enough to be much of a judge of either my own prospects or the prospects of other schools. However, I do know that we Jose several good men, among them one of the best ends I have ever coached | and three exceptionally capable backs. Karl Brumbaugh, who played left haif- back and did our passing, and was one | of our smartest players, graduated, as did Owens, another halfback. Also we Jost Bowyer, who captained and played quarter on the 1928 eleven. “Our freshman team of last year was not very strong and we hive very few men from that squad who will be of any help in filling vacancies. Incidentally, another difficulty we are up against is | the many bank failures throughout the State. a factor which may operate to| prevent a good many of our students returning. “Florida Has Tough Schedule. Florida has the hardest schedule this Fall any Florida team has ever. played. Tt has a fairly easy game on September 28, but after that gets no rest until the season closes December, 7. A glance | over the list of games that follows is sufficient to indicate that Bachman really has some pdoblems before him: September 28—Southern at Gaines- llle. “Oc(flbfl' 5—Virginia Military In- stitute at Tampa. October 12—Auburn at Monigom- .rf)‘ctober 19—Georgia Tech at At- nta. October 26—Georgia at Jackson- ville. l;ovember 2—Harvard at Cam- bridge. Ng:ember 16—Clemson at Gaines- le. November 23—South Carolina at Columbia. November 28—Washington and Lee at Jacksonville. December 7—Oregon at Miama, Fla. Any foot ball team that can stand up under this array of opposition has got to be a real one. It is difficult to see how any Southern eleven could play a ‘much more difficult schedule. Not only does it meet some of the strongest schools in the Seuth, but it also goes North to face one of the big three and ‘then entertains at the end of the season # Far Western university. Florida during the past Summer has drawn plans for a new stadium to be constructed at Gainesville. It intends to erect the first unit this Winter and have it ready for the 1930 season. The stadium, as planned, when completsd will seat 69,000. - Coach Bachman takes a somewhat different view of the change in the fumble rule from what most of the Ccoaches take. It is his opinion that the change may give the teams with the best and most experienced material something of an advantage, but it also allows the weaker team greater latitude 1in double and triple passes without dan- ger of haying a fumble picked up for a long run by the opposition. : .

Foot Ball Due to BY O. B. KEELER. RAND SLAM GAM is a big, handsome chap with & physique reminiscent of somebody who was an All- America tackle not very long ago. . He lacks one inch of being two yards tall; his chest measures 44 inches around; and his waist ex- actly a foot less. He weighs 190 . pounds, dray. And he is called Grand Slam Gam because the belief now is becoming general that he can wallop a golf ball farther than any- body else in the world. His name is Clarerice Gamber. h is 27 years old, and he is profes. slonal at the Forest Lake Club, Pon- tiac—a Detroit product. I first heard of Grand Slam Gam from Bobby Jones, as I recall it; Bobby had seen him play a few shots at Oakmont and described him as “the black-haired boy who gets a_two-mile carry off the tee.” ‘Then I heard and read more and more about him and his huge driv- ing; how he had reached the 612- ard twelfth hole at Oakmont with rfln second shot; and how at Winged Foot there wasn't a hole on the great course he couldn’t reach in iwo. That sort of thing. Clarence, Z SLAM JUST WHANGS AWAY FROM THENCE TO ELSEWHERE/ STAR, i WASHINGTON, £ {T2-YEAR-OLD GIRL |TEN RACES CLOSE you see, is by way of becoming legendary. For one thing, Mr. Gamber has & record of one drive of 365 yards in championship competition, 300 of it carry. But if you ask him how he reached the twelfth green at Oak- mont with his second shot, he' will explain merely that he hit iwo good- ones in a row. At Winged Foot I asked the big boy how he did it. He said he hit the ball as hard as he could “with a swing.” “I take a long, rather loose back- swing, as much relaxed as I can manage, and pull the trigger. Re- laxation permits and encourages speed in the stroke, and it is speed and not horsepower that sends the little white ball away from there.” Also, he keeps his left arm straight—as straight as a ruled line —throughout the stroke until the ball has departed. This is another one for the ad- vocates or apologists of the bent or “eased” left arm to ponder. It is my observation that the bent left arm, or the “eased” left arm, usual- ly is bent or eased at the top of a swing where some photographer has asked the player to stop a couple of seconds. PITT LOOMS LARGE Promises to Have Positive Menace to Title Hopes to Its Rivals. BY EDWARD J. NEIL. Associated Press Sports Writer. ITTSBURGH, September 14 (P). Year in and year out the Pan- thers of Pittsburgh, mighty youths drawn to higher educa- tion from the coal mining regions and steel mills of Pennsylvania, bulk large on the Eastern foot ball horizon. This year they promise to be a positive menace. A mere matter of three graduated linemen is all that Silent Jock Suther- land, the taciturn Scot, has in the way of colcmn¥ worries, It just hap- pens that developing great linemen is right down Jock’s alley. The Panther forward wall usually is as close with first downs as Sutherland is with words. Only seven were gained aganist Pitts- burgh all last season. Star Linesmen Lost. With a crack backfield intact, the Panthers need only replace Alex Fox at guard, Mike Getto at tackle and “Honey” Guarino, an end. They were outstanding stars last Fall on a team that lost only to West Virginia and Carnegie. Tech and held the Corn Huskers from Nebraska to a scoreless tie. It was a team entirely rebuilt after losing 17 of the letter men who conquered the East but lost to Stan- ford in the Tournament of Roses game in 1927, So with but three men to replace this year, Sutherland is almost opti- mistic. He has crusading veteran backfield that is a delight to foot ball eyes, led by “Pug” Parkinson, a 196- pound fullback, filled with the primeval urge to n? apart everything that gets in front of him. Toby Uansa, fast and shifty, is one running mate, and Josh Willfams, another spectacular fellow, the other. Pirst-string quarterback job lies between Charley Edwards, last year's pilot, and Ed Baker. The better punter will ,get the assignment. Good Forwards Remain. Back in the line are: Joe Donchess, a great end; Charlie Tullie, tackle; Ray Montgomery, center, and Capt. Al Dimeolo, one of the finest running guards in the East. Montgomery may shift a guard with Daughterty, « freshman sensation last Fall, at center. Jim MacMurdo, a rough youngster, will take Getto's place, with Paul Col- lins and Ed Herschberger fighting it out for the end assignment. They are all big fellows, ranging between 180 and 200 pounds, and there are more like them. Pitt has & sturdy schedule. Duke will furnish the opposition at Durham, N. C., October 5; Nebraska at Lincoln October 19 and Ohio State here No- vember 2. Old rivals, Waynesburg, West_Virginia, Allegheny, Washington and Jefferson, Carnegie Tech and Penn State fill out the card. e PACIFIC COAST GRID SQUADS TAKE FIELDS SAN FRANCISCO, - September 14 (#).—After eight months of gridiron in- activity, Pacific Coast Conference elevens were called out today for the first organized practice of the 1929 season. : For several weeks foot ball players have been gradually working themselves Though candidates for Catholic Uni- wersity's varsity eleven have been scrimmaging for the past four days, it .was not until yesterday that any have bhad to go on the incapacis dist.

The four tournaments are those for the President’s Cup, the Liberty Cup, the Siamese Cup and the Japanese Cup, and the events run without a break from Midseptember through early No- vember. The golfers of the club were to start qualifying today for the Presi- dent's Cup event, with the 16 low net scores to qualify between September 14 and 28 and be drawn for the match- play competition, The first round of match play is to be played October 1 or 2, the second round is scheduled for October 3, 4 or 5, the third round for October 7. 8 or 9 and the final round on October 10, 11 or 12. Qualifying play for the Liberty Cup will be held September 28 to October 12, inclusive, with the 16 low net scores to qualify for this event. The first round of match play will end October 16, the second round will conclude Oc- tober 19, the third round on October 23 and the final round on October 26. ‘The Siamese Cup will be played along similar lines, with the 16 low net scores between October 12 and 26 to qualify for the match-play rounds. In this event the first round is to end October 30, the second round on November 2, the third round on November 6 and the final round on November 9. While €he Siamese Cup event is being run off, many of the club golfers are expected to play in the 18-hole tourney for the Japanese cup for men, which was presented to the club last year by Aml lor Matsudaira. This is played for in a one-round medal play handicap event, and the cup will remain the permanent possession of the club, although the winner will re- celve & prize and will have his name inscribed on a plate to be placed in the clubhouse. In cases where competitors are un- able to agree on a date to play in the first three named events, the golf com- mittee will set the date, and all matches are to start not later than 2 pm. The committee again issues a ainst defaults in the following words: “Players turning in qualifying cards, who, before the drawings are made for match play, find they will be unable to compete, will kindly notify the golf committee, thereby eliminas unneces- sary defaults, and also permi other players to participate.” i Already in condition and in complete reldm the tournament, the Bannockburn golf course is improving every day and will be in the best shape it ever has been in for the invitation tournament of the club, which be held next week.

Today and tomorrow were to be devoted to the playing of preliminary matches left on the cards. Following this afternoon's singles play, other doubles matches will be run off if time permits. ‘The crowning thrill of every tourna- ment is the discovery of “unknown™ talent. The girls’ junlor play of 1929 has had that thrili in' the initial ap- pearance of young Peggy Keyser, 12- year-old lass who hails from Mount Pleasant. She has a net sense and mechanical skill far beyond her years. This youngster, untutored except for the interested coaching of friends who have seen her perform on the Central Presbyterian Church courts, where she has learned the game, has breezed through to the quarter-finals at the expense of players older and far more experienced, Yesterduy she achieved her most notable victory when she downed Dorothy. Jarman, one of the Madeira School racketers, in 12 straight games. Peggy's forte is that she not only puts the ball back, but she puts it “where"—if you know what I mean. She has instinet, apparently, for finding the vulnerable spot, and adds to this the courage to drive for that weakness. Her judgment in drawing an opponent out of position for & smashing place- ment is another thing remarkable in one so young, which marks this win- some black-eyed young lady for future prominence in net circles if she con- tinues to devote her energies to the development of the most promising em- bryonic game looming upon the local | V7’4 horizon today.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn., September 14 (#)—The outboard motor champion- ship of the Middle Atlantic States will be run off on the Connecticut River | wuig September 20 and 21. The races are looked upon as qualifying events for the Eastern divisional championships to be held at Boston on October 4 and 5. completed preparation of the course for the event. Areas on the first and twelfth fairways, which have washed out from the rain, have been marked off with white chalk and been declared ground under repair, tees have been re- paired and softened and the fairways are being clipped closely for the event. Bannockburn’s putting greens have sur- vived the hot weather in good condi- tion, although some brown patches still appear occasionally. There are no changes in the course as it was played in last year's tournament, although the playing conditions this year will be far different from those of last year. TFor in June the club golf and greens com- mittee decided that Bannockburn's practice of permitting members to ‘tee up anywhere on the golf course was out of date, and issued an order that the ball must be played where it lay, with exceptions noted on the score card. Last year the ball could be moved practically anywhere on the course, on the fairway, in the rough and in haz- ards, but this year it must be played where it lies, except in washouts and in the spots which are marked “ground under repair.” The upshot of the mat- ter inevitably will be that the scoring will not be so low as last year and that the visttors will find Bannockburn a harder golf course to play. As might have been expected, Ha @. Pitt of the Manor Club, former holder of the mid-Atlantic title, won the low gross prize in the Kiwanis Club tournament &t the Congressional Country Club- yesterday, registering & fine score of 72, which is one under par for the lengthy lay-out over which the District championship event will be played 10 days hence. R. Lester Rose, & member of Congressional, finished in second place, with & 77. C. H. Pardoe was next with & gross card of 90. B. P.

The Cabin John special tournament, scheduled to be played at Bannockburn today and tomorrow, has been post- ned because of the forthcoming club invitation tournament, Chairman W. F.

Fort, Government chemist, will be the only horseshoe pitcher of several thousand entrants to remain unde- feated when The Star’s metropoli- tan championship tournament is ended. Of the four to reach the Washington finals only Fort came through the tnree grades of competition, preliminary, divisional and sectional, with a clean slate, He got by what loomed as a tough spot yesterday when he defeated N, A. Pixton, the Brightwood champion, in the semi-finals at the Plaza, and on Monday, at the same place at 5 o'clock, he will clash with Andrew Tallmadge for the Capital crown. In the event a player who qualified &8 & county runnes-up wins the North- ern Virginia title at Culpeper today, and Fort triumphs Monday, the chemist will be the only unbeaten pitcher in the grand finale that will bring together the ©Old Dominion, Southern Maryland and Washington champions. Fort caught Pixton off stride and won decisively. The Brightwood . star was shutout in the first three innings of the first game, and bad thrown neadly a dozen shoes before he rung the peg. He caught up midway the- game, however, and it became nip and tuck, with Fort finally winning, 50 to 43. The second skirmish found Pixton's game slipping and Fort's improving. Fort’s 18 ringers against Pixton’s 13 tells the story of the final, which Fort won by 50 to 31. To- ward the finish it appeared that Fort was passing up opportunities to score. Pixton throughout was nowhete near his best form. He had a grand total of 28 ringers against 31 for Fort. Culpeper is the mecca of Virginia horseshoe pitchers today. The battle for the Northern Virginia title was to start at 1 o'clock, with Capt. J. C. Albright in charge of a play-off that was to in- clude the champions and runners-up of 10 counties. Several pet rivalries, and two in par- ticular, will add zest to the play-off. Ed Henry hopes to get even with H. E. Darnes, who beat him in the Fairfax County final, and A. A. Kirchner has an eye-on the scalp of Glenn Talbott, his conqueror in the Arlington County final. These were two hot battles, and neither of the vanquished felt he was decisively beaten. The Fairfax and Arlington pitchers will be among those traveling farthest to get to the State finals, but they prob- ably won't have the fewest rooters pres- ent. Half a dozen auto loads of fans accompanied them. Nearly all the visitors to Culpeper were expected to attend a banquet to be given in honor of the pitchers tonight by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce. . Battle for Montgomery Colored Crown. ILLIAM JOHNSON defeated | Frank Israel in the final match of the Colored Mont- | gomery County horseshoe playoff at Rockville. John- son represented Emory Grove and Israel, | Lincoln Park. the final encounter. Johnson won the first-game, 52 to 40. Israel took the second, 50 to 38, then came the deciding game. Ringer after ringer was topped. Most of the time the score was tied. Neither was able to draw more than 2 points ahead. The measure was neces- sary frequently to decide the closer shoe. ‘With the score 49 to 49 Johnson was the first one to pitch. Both slippers were hugging the peg. Israel stepped up to throw the ringer.that .the crowd was yelling for, but the task was too much. Neither of his shoes registered. Henry - (Cat Bones) Duffin and Rev.

C. are again, i, as usual, publicized into being favorites to win the conference title. Coach Howard Jones has a great squad, none of whom is really great or outstanding, but all of whom are good enough to play first-class foot ball in any league. Jones is having trouble finding a quarterback. ‘There ‘i also much on the Cou‘: off¢ mummy last season.

Things are going to be tighter in the Pacific Coast Con- ference than they have been in years, thanks to a general rise in the quality of foot ball played by all Coast teams. Four teams—Stanford, U. S. C., Washington State and Oregon— have a good chance to win the_title and it is not without the bounds of reason to figure Washington and California well up in the race. Stanford will, as usual, have a very strong team. What the Car- dinals accomplish rests with Warner and his ability to find a signal caller worthy of the name of quarterback. Last season Warner used Heinecke, a center, to call his plays. This season he is counting on Capt. Muller, an end, to bark his numbers. fers to have linemen call his plays is a mystery, Every.one knows that a lineman is just a fullback with his brains knocked out. Hacker, Muller, Frentrup, Preston and Heiser are names which will Why the “old fox’” pre- Fleish this season. tender by some, will be fortunate not to lose at least three games this sea- son. Ceach Nibs Price is still fool- ing around trying to get an offense. He this season is going to employ two wing backs and'a formation greatly resembling Warner's “A,” which is more or less of a standard one. Any time you want any dope on Coast stuff just drop me a line, as I haven't anything else to do-all year around ex- cept figure out foot ball stuff. Also nobody knows mehere, which is a good thing, as some of the things I've satd above will not be to the liking of some of the boys, including the coaches, and some of the latter are pretty big, and I'm all*fat and out.of condition.
