SPORTS. G. W.and Maryland Have Veteran Eleve INITIAL WORKOUTS SCHEDULED TODAY Sixteen Letter Men Return to Colonials—Terrapins Lose Two Regulars. BY H. C. BYRD. HE George Washington and Maryland squads that get off for their first foot ball workouts today will be made up largely of veteran material. The Buff and Blue has back 16 letter men, while Maryland, in actual numbers, loses only two of its 1930 regulars. This would seem to indicate that both uni- versities ought to have elevens at least as strong as those turned out last season. And, &s a matter of fact, it would not be a surprise to see both have stronger ones. George Washington plans to take its squad to Camp Letts today, but may not begin actual practice until tomor- row. Maryland is to issue uniforms and begin practice at 10:30 in the morning, and will have a second prac- tice in the afternoon. Both squads are likely to get two workouts a day dur- ing the two weeks of pre-season prace- tice, HERE is a strong probability that George Washington's backfield will be exactly what it was at times last season, Fenlon, Carlin, Carter and Krimmelmeyer. This combination will @verage more than 170 pounds, is ex- perienced and fast. All four are ex- pected to be better than they were during 1930. The Colonials have five letter men for the end positions, Mulvey, Galloway, Chambers, Helvestine and Lannan. Of these, Chambers probably is the best. Four letter men will be out for the tackle jobs in the rsons of Hale, Slaird, Chestnut and Wilson. Bagranoft is the only letter guard who will be with the squad, while Brown is the one letter man for center. However, it is more than likely that the center job will be filled by Frank Blackistone, who used to.play at Central High and later at_Princeton. It is said 12 foot ball men have en- tered George Washington from junior colleges, and that of these 12, five or six are good enough gridironers to war- rant a belief that they may give some of the varsity players from last year real battles for their jobs. One of the best men who have a chance to break into the line-up as a regular is Buck Jones, 195-pound fullback, who is said to be some pumpkins at toting a pig- skin, as well as in blocking and tackling and all the other more or less inci- dental features that make up a really fine foot ball player. NE thing in which the University of Maryland will be much improved is in end material. Last season ‘whenever one of the regular ends went out of the game it was a case of just hope that the other team's quarterback would not take too much notice of it. ner and Buscher from the freshman team and Hines, an end of the 1929 freshman eleven, who did not play last year because of an attack of appendi- citis. Rooney, of whom considerable 'u‘;u Iexp;i:ed thlsryesr. will not be able play because of an operation he hi dast Spring. P - The two men lost by Maryland are Evans and Fisher. Pisher held down the right tackle’s job in company with Eeenan, who will be back, while Evans vied with Poppelman in the quarte back’s position. Faber at center, Hay- den and Krajcovic at guards, Carliss at tackle are the other regular linemen due to report. Duley, tackle, and Koelle, 1so played considerable foot ball , as did Mitchell as center. Faber and Hayden, however, sustained injuries in lacrosse last Spring which may prevent them being as effective as ‘they should. N the backfield the Old Liners start with four men who played together & considerable part of the time last year—Berger, Poppelman, Woods and Chalmers. May, Settino, Cronin and Kiernan got in many of the games. Buck Miller, regular in 1929, who was kept out a large part of last year be- cause of a bad knee, if he is in shape . Of these, it seems that Knott mnd Sothoron, backs, and Vincent and Shinn, tackle and guard, and Benner l@and Buscher, ends, are the most prom- ising. Maryland is beginning something of & new policy for it this year, as it plans to organize a “B” team. It will carry 8 squad large enough to divide into a varsity and a “B” squad. The “B” games arranged with the (Georgetown freshmen, Western Mary- and freshmen and Catholic University eshmen. COACH SAVES APPENDIX Wittmer, Princeton, Spurns Knife, Eager to Start Practice. HANOVER, N. H., September 7 (#).— Al Wittmer, head coach of the Princeton University foot ball squad, was resting *fairly comfortably” at the Dartmouth College Hospital today after an attack of acute appendicitis. He was taken to the hospital last night, but refused to practice. Dr. John Glles of the hospital staff {will be made public some time this | week by Charles Corbett, pilot of the Resume Pitching Finals Tomorrow 'OMPETITION will be resumed tomorrow in both the junior and senior sections the Washington divisional finals of the metropolitan district horseshoe championships, sponsored by The Star.

INVADERS' TENNIS FORGE IS REDUCED Top Rankers Come Through in First Day’s Play of National Singles. By the Associated Press. OREST HILLS, N. Y., September 7.—The first 20 matches in the national singles teninis champion- | ship served a double purpose— | they reduced the field to an even 64 players and at the same time removed some part of the formidable foreign threat. Although the outstanding foreign | competitors still were in the fold for the second day of play today, two Canadian contenders, Dr. Jack Wright and Marcel Rainville, both had been eliminated. Richard N. Williams of Philadelphia, national champion in 1914 and 1916, accounted for Wright in a five-set struggle Saturday, 3—6, 6—2, 6—3,7—9, 8—6. Rainville defaulted to Martin Duxby of Miami, Fla., after he had lost two sets and was trailing in the third. A “stiff neck” caused the default, Rain- ville nld,r 'erry Hard All other top-ranking stars came through in the first round, although Fred Perry, the British ace, was forced to four sets by chunky Julius Seligson of New York, intercollegiate champion when he was a student at Lehigh. Pairings today listed a few outstand- ing matches. Williams was to meet Keigh Gledhill of Santa Barbara, Calif.; ClUiff Sutter, New Orleans, was matched with Wilbur F. Coen, jr, of Kansas City and George Lott expected all kinds of trouble from young Dick Murphy of Utica, N. Y. Bryan Grant, jr., of Atlanta faces the French veteran, Jacques Brugnon; John Hope Doeg of Newark, N. J., defend- ing champion, meets Eddie Jacobs of Baltimore; Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena, Calif., an outstanding contender for the title, confronts Dr. Herbert Fischer of Cynwyd, Pa., and Marcel Bernard of France meets J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange, All of the other front-rank aces such as Frank Shields, Sidney B. Wood, Jr.; John Van Ryn, George Patrick Hughes, Christian Boussus and Andre Merlin were slated to play although against opposition not quite so sturdy. THE EVENTR®, STAR, WASHINGTO ARMY COACH DIES FOR PAIR OF ERDS Sasse Rich in Ball Toters. Thinks Game Will Stay Put Few Seasons. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Amociated Press Sports Writer. EST POINT, N. Y., September 7 (#).—They do things with speed and precision at Uncle BSam's military academy on the plains at West Point. It remains to be seen whether Maj. Ralph I. Sasse, the big pleasant fellow who makes foot ball players out of soldiers, can pull & couple of ends out of one of his military formations before another month is up. “It's all a puzzle right now.” the brawny major sighed as he watched athletes in track suits roll around on the ground in a corner of the drill field where cadet companies were marching to the stirring brasses of an Army band. “How it will work out is a mystery. But it's a cinch you can't have a foot ball team without ends.” Army has backs in_profusion—such tested ball carriers as Ray Stecker, Ken Fields, Tom Kilday, Ed Herb, Rosy | Carver, Bill Frentael, Henry Sebastian, | Joe MacWilliam—tackles, guards and & couple of all right centers. In fact. Sasse has the makings, in his second year as head coach, of a team as stron as the eleven Notre Dame could beat | only by a point last season. But there's only one veteran end on the squad, Dick King, who blocked the punt that led to the touchdown against Notre Dame, and the available material is only fair. Maj. Sasse believes that foot ball to- day has reached a plane where it can be allowed to rest for a few seasons without tampering. _Lateral alone provides the one possibility for radical change in style of play. “But we've got to wait for some genius to come along and find the secret of the successful lateral pass’™ he said. “Every one has had & shot at it. We've labored with it here for hours, but it's still & gamble.” Army faces another heavy schedule with Harvard, Yale, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame the high spots. The schedule: September 26, Ohio Northern; October 3, Knox College: October 10, Michigan State: October 17, Harvard; October 24, at New Haven; October 31, Colorado College; 14, Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh; November 21, Ursinus: November 28, Notre Dame | at New York.

John Whitlow Wyatt, Beaumont hurler, | who vanquished “Dizzy” Dean and the Houston Buffs in one of the games of the play-off series for the first half of the Texas League race, is attracting much notice from the experts. Some observers credit Wyatt, sent South by the Detroit Tigers, with more speed than Dean as well as & better curve and superior control. LEXANDRIA, Va., September 7. —Plans for organization of the strongest foot ball team in the history of the St. Mary’s Celtics Green and Gold gridders, it was an- nounced here today. Corbett has selected from the ranks of unlimited players performing in this section the names of more than a score he hopes to sign for the im- pending campaign and is now busily engaged in lining them up to work with the Green and Gold machine. ‘The use of Baggett’s Park for home games has been obtained by Corbett and many of the speediest elevens in the South Atlantic States will be brought here. The annual games with the Mohawks and Apaches will be staged, as usual, at American League Park in Washington.

NEW YORK, September 7 (#).—Bel. ns : Ouimet to Captain Walker Cup Team HONOR IS CLINCHED BY TITLE TRIUMPH Howell One of Youngsters to Earn Consideration for International Play. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Bports Editor. HICAGO, September 7.— Francils Ouimet, as a re- sult of his great come- back to recapture the na- tional amateur golf championship, has clinched the honor of being captain of the United States Walker Cup team for the matches with Great Britain in 1932 in this country, Probably he would have been asked to undertake the assign- ment, anyway, but his brilliant triumph at Beverly over a field of youngsters makes it doubly fitting ;mr the popular Bostonian to oc- | cupy another role relinquished by ;Bobby Jones. Ouimet has been a member of every American Walker Cup team since the international matches first were begun in 1922. He is the only player enjoy- ing this distinction. Jones did not compete at 8t. Andrews in 1923 At the age of 38 Ouimet has accom- | plished one of the greatest come-backs |in American sport.

Travers | for the title at Manchester, Vt., in | 1914. Triumph Stands Out. Ouimet’'s triumph stands out like a | beacon on the rock-bound coast for two | big reasons. He was the only survivor | of the “Old Guard” to carry on the | fight for age and experience. He topped a qualifying field of 32 players | jammed with a new and rapidly rising | generation of golf stars. Like a coliege professor, Ouimet took on five young- | sters in succession, averaging about 22 | years in age, and gave them lessons. | " Ouimet and George Voigt of New | York were the only members of the 1930 Walker Cup team to qualify and George passed out of the picture in | the first round at the hands of a col- lege star, Dick Martin. Two others, Bobby Jones and George | Von Elm, were not contenders, anyway, but Don Moe failed to get past the sectional qualifying barrier; while Ro- land Mackenzie, Dr. Oscar F.
