‘Tech. is Counting SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, P L. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1930.° SPORTS. i (o331 WEIGHT IS ADDED BY PASSER, KICKER Now Tips Scales at Close to 170—Central Strives to Bolster Line. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, Jr. ATCH Dick Nelson, Tech's big| quarterback. | “He's the most improved player on the Tech squad,” Coach Hap Hardell said today. “He can pass that ball now better than many college players and he can boot it, too. He has considerable to learn yet, of course, but his progress has been fine. He'll probably play quarterback.” They called him “baby face,” this] @oft-spoken, slender Nelson youngster | when he first came out for the Tech| eleven a season ago. His actions, though, | belied his looks. He proved & rugged‘ ttler who asked no quarter and gave -on: Since last s2ason he has put on | -elght and now scales not far from 170. | appeared this extra heft was all he eeded to make an outstanding player. We shall see, we shall see. | Tech's squad was to get its last hard | @rill today in preparation for its open-| ing game with Baltimore Poly Friday night at Homewood Field, Baltimore, at 8:30 oclock. The McKinley boys will go through only & polishing drill tomor- Fow afternoon. White s first-rate backfield assured, Coach Ty Rauber is making a desperate effort to reconstruct a line wrecked by graduations. Jerry Carroll, former Georgetown guard, and Apache coach, has been giving the Blue's line aspirants some pointers. He has found them a hard-working, earnest bunch of young men. Don't be too sure that Central 1s going to have such a weak line. Emerson pigskinners are winding up preparation for their season's opener egainst Woodberry Forest Saturday at Orange, Va. In the squad coached by Harley Page Sanborn and Bill Keller are several who formerly sparkled on public high school elevens Lere. Emerson probably will bave to step to trim Woodberry Forest, as the Orange scholastics generally have an eleven capable of giving just sbout any prep school outfit a lively fight. Ray Roberts, jr, who wield>d a big bat as an outfielder with the Tech High bese ball team three seasons £go, has enrolled at Central.

ATLANTA, Ga., September 24 (#).— ‘The same jinx that has camped on the trail of the Tennessee Volunteers for the past three years already has made its_appearance this season. With a veteran team back, boasting probably the best backfield in the South, Coach Bob Neyland, together with a majority of other Southern mentors, had reason to believe 1930 would be ‘Tennessee's year. But a second in- jury to & knee hurt in a base ball game during the Summer has deprived the Volunteers of Gene McEver, their great- est scoring threat.

T looks like all of 'm will fall this season,” grinned Howard Camp- bell, the city's No. 1 ranking bowler and captain of the cham- pion King Pin outfit, speaking of the wobbling records. “Yep, the Temples did some nice shooting to get that 1,891, but I don't look for it to stand long as a record.” ‘Thus far, the crack sharpshooters in the District League are setting & pace that’s fairly blistering the alleys. Fol- |lowing on the heels of the record- breaking performance by the Temples, | came two more last night when the | Hecht pinmen knocked the District of | Columbia all-time team game record | for a row of pins by spilling 683 maples. | _ Then to top it off, Joe Priccl, rolling | for Hecht against Carnell Lunch, set | & new District League high game mark with & 188, which is shooting in any- body's league. “I wouldn't be surprised if one of the teams comes along with a 1,900 set be- fore long,” declared Campbell last night just before he set about rolling 375 set imself to lead the champs in downing the Petworths, who'll bear watching this season, | €€ | APT. MAXIE ROSENBERG must be getting a big laugh now after that record the Temple aggregation hung up Monday night. Last year, it may be remembered, he didn’t make any bones over the decla- ration that his team would clean up in the District League. His crack pin- spillers, however, were cleaned them- selves, losing four out of the first five games, and though they made a strong comeback, they were nosed out by the | Chase King Pins. This year, they're off with the right foot forward and are making good some of Maxie's boasts. 'ONIGHT maple fans will get their first glimpse at the Convention Hall team, which has been en- tirely rejuvenated. The Convention Hallers will roll_on their own alleys against the new Rendezvous outfit at 8 o’clock. Charlie Phillips, who holds the all- time record for a league set, with 458, will captain the Hall team and make his first appearance in the District League for some five or six years. Harold Hodges, Carl Stoner and Larry Morgan are some of the new Conven- tion Hall mafstays, who last year ca- vorted mostly in the Masonic League. This Rendezvous team is the same which the colors of Convention Hall last year, with the exception of Phil Goodall. Mag Wood, Al Work, Red Morgan and Carroll Daly are the other Rendezvous sharpshooters. OWLING followers should get an eyeful of flying maples tonight when the newly organized Foun- tain Hams and the Rinaldi Tailors debut in the National Capital League at the Lucky Strike drives at 8 bells. The Fountain Hams line-up impres- | the sively and ave one of the favorites in the loop. Maxie Rosenberg, Paulie Harrison, Bradley Mandley, Henry New- man, Kenny Thorpe and Capt, Norman Schroth are the Ham aces. Leo Rinaldi will flash practically the same gang again this year, which in- cludes Ollie Pacini, Tony Santini, Joe Pricci, the boy who shot that 188 game last night; Sam Simon, Al Popkins and Leo himself. 'UBURBAN pin followers will not be without an attraction tonight, for the new Maryland-Virginia Duckpin e will swing into its second week of the campaign with three first-class matches on the book. ‘The crack Bethesda five, the national champ, faces the College Park Silver Spring meets Mount Rainier, and Rosslyn rolls the Dixie Pigs.

Anyway, that's the way the Bene- dicts, who are employes of the Sun Life Insurance Co., are going to go about it in an attempt to get square with the Bachelors, who yesterday defeated them ina ball game, 15 to 7.
