STAR, WASHINGTO! {ONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1930 George Washington Looks for Greatest Season in Its Foot Ball History PIYLEE RELUGTANT 10 GIVE LOWDOWN Team’s Prospects Tipped Off by Athletic Office—Open Camp Today. BY H. C. BYRD. HOSE connected with foot ball at George Washington University believe they have the best prospects in the history of the university for a really successful season. Good training quarters for pre-season workouts and a squad of such proportions and caliber as to give very evident cause for satisfac- tion are the main reasons for this optimistic attitude. The caliber of the squad is sufficient reason, in all probability, if the other were eliminated. Not that the coaches are giving out this opinion publicly, but they feel that way, just the same. In an effort to £, o expression from the George ashington _athletic office as to the prospects, that office was called this morning and asked the pointblank question: “What does Coach Pixlee think of his prospects?” | “Oh, they're fine,” came the answer. “We've got & good squad and will have a good team. We could hardly want hing better.” “Could I quote Pixlee to the effect?” ‘was the second question. “Oh, my no,” was the quick response. “Just quote him saying that he is well satisfied with the training camp and the conditions under which the squad will get its early workouts.” Most Coaches the Same. PFrom which it may be understood that the George Washington coaches are optimistic about their outlook, but do not care to be quoted to that effect. In fact. few coaches do like to say pub- licly that their prospects are overly bright, as they may have too much explaining to do later, and George ‘Washington’s staff is not different from others in that respect. However, the feeling that the Colonials have a good year ahead of them is too well rooted not to show, and it takes only a casual conversation with somebody familiar with the situation to get that thought. The George Washington squad left this morning for its training quarters near Annapolis. It is to use the Y. M. C. A. Summer camp, where conditions are said to be excellent. The return trip to Washington is to take place around September 23. George Washington plays some of the hardest games it has ever had, and its whole schedule may be accepted as difficult indeed. The season is to be ‘The list follows: ‘(icmber 4—Rutgers at New Bruns- wick. October 11—Delaware at Newark. October 17—8outh Dakota at Wash- ington (night).

Play was halted for a moment in the eighth, when fans and players stood with bared heads and paid respect to the memory of “Mickey” Kelliher, the Celtic coach and first baseman, who was killed in an automobile wreck here earlier in the day. Buddy Goodwin and Art Ludlow led the Green and Gold batters, the former col- lecting three hits in four times at bat, while Ludlow got two in three. Doc Dreifus, Goodwin and Ludlow hit a homer apiece. Lefty Mclntire, Celtic hurler, played an important pdrt in avenging the de- feat at the hands of the Elks earlier in the season and sending the champion- ship serles into a third game. Mc- Intire held the losers to five scattered hits and fanned six.

A good aeal of spirit exists among George Washington peopl> over the prospects for foot ball. The students and faculty and all those connected with the university, alumni especially, feel that good things are in store for their institution. 'RED GUARNIERI, halfback, and Collins, a guard, the two regulars from last year's Catholic U. eleven who have been missing, turned in yes- terday and will be out for practice to- day. Two other players who will be out for the first time are Conroy and Callahan, and the addition of these men to the backfield gives Coach Berg- man enough men to make his perma- nent plans for the season. 'EORGETOWN is finding during its practice sessions that the diffi- culty it anticipated, that of re- building its line, is staring it in the face more and more every day. The Blue and Gray expects to have a strong forward -wall, but apparently does not have as good material as that which carried the brunt of attack and de- fense last season. Coach Tom Mills, however, seems fairly well satisfied with the way his men are coming along. Mills is the kind of coach who does not say much but puts in his time saw- ing wood. The players like him and Wl:l': try their best to make good for NIVERSITY OF MARYLAND wound up its first week of work with two temporary casualties, May and Krajcovic, e former, a. back, twisted his ankle severely, and the lat- ter received a leg twist that has kept him doing easy work. Both are pretty sure to be ready for hard practice again the middle of this week. Maryland has back all the men it expected from last year’s varsity and freshman squads, ex- cept George Norris and Frank Hines. Norris is on a trip to China and Hines was operated on the other day for acute appendicitis. Hines is 6 feet and weighs 175 pounds, and it was thought he ought to come near making good this Fall as an end. 'OACH YOUNG out at American University is saying little, but has his squad working out in good y to_be one of the toughest any George Washington eleven has ever md. ‘The two Ms.l.oul contests are which has shape.

He breaks a few steps to the right, while the right end, No. 5. charges around the defensive left tackle. It's the fast work at the cross- roads, for no one protects Dills. Dills ‘gets rid of the ball—a for- ward pass to end No. 5 on the line, a pass that brings up the defensive left half, who is bowled over by back No. 2 as he rushes forward.

On Wednesday night the champions and runner-ups of Montgomery, Prince Georges and Charle: Counties will meet at Seat Pleasant at 7:30 p.m, for the Southern Maryland crown that now iadorns the brow of Millard E. Peake of Bethesda. On Thursday the winners of di- visional meets in Washington will play for the east and west sectional titles and the Washington final will be held Friday. On Saturday will come the grand finale for the Metropolitan title, also held by Peake.

N winning the Prince Georges title Saturday Raymond Panholzer of Seat Pleasant didn't throw many ringers, but he showed lots of competitive spirit. He got away to a bad start, due probably to having the duties of chairman on his mind, but he soon gained control of himself and looked the part of a real champion. He chucked ringers when they were most needed and never once in a pinch did he falter in the slightest. Panholzer was a dark horse.

MARTINSBURG PLANNING TO HONOR HACK WILSON Fans Want Cubs to Play There 8o Home Town Can Pay Tribute to the Slugger. g Special Dispatch to The Star. MARTINSBURG, W. Va., September 8.—A request that the Chicago Cubs make an opening on their Eastern tour for an exhibition game here so that Hack Wilson's home town fans—where he had his start in professional base ball and started his upward climb to fame in the game—might see him in action, has been forwarded to the Chi- cago club management by Scott Sions, this city, a fan. Manager McCarthy, replying from Pittsburgh, sald the matter was in the hands of President Veeck and sug- gested the desire be referred to him. Manager McCarthy added that he knew Wilson would appreciate the tribute from the home folk “not only as the home-run king of the National League and one of the best ball players in the country, but personally one of the finest boys that I have ever had the pleasure of managing.” He expressed the hgge that President Veeck would view the request favorably. ‘Wilson went from here to Petersburg, in the Virginia League. and then to the New York Giants, whence he went to the Cubs.

COUNTY SHOE FINAL WON BY MARSHALL Fort Berry Pitcher Defeats Bullock for Arlington Crown in Colored Tourney. | | _The Arlington County horseshoe crown of the colored section of the metropolitan district tournament was won by Alfred Marshall of Fort Berry, Va., on the Fort Berry courts. The con- test was played before a large gallery. Marshall defeated Archie Bullock, champion of Halls Hill, 50 to 38, 54 to 27. Marshall, the Fort Berry runner-up, was in top form. In the first game of the semi-finals he defeated Walter Smith with ease, 50 to 22, but the sec- ond game was a thriller. Markhall threw ringers in 16 straight innings. Five were topped by the fighting Smitn. ‘The Halls Hill twirler started the game with a rush, making three ringers be- fore Marshall could get going. The Arlington County champion covered the peg 21 times in this game. In winning the deciding match from Bullock, Marshall tossed 19 ringers in the first game and 18 in the second. Bullock pitched an open shoe and aver- aged 15 ringers per game in the county play-offs. He will compete in the State finals as the Arlington County runner- up.
