SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, NOVEMBER 25, 1934—PART ONE. SPORTS. ~ St. Albans Leads With Four Choices in D. C. All-Prep School Grid Line-up DEPRESSION FAILS - TODIPSTANDARD Independent Schools Have. Season on a Par With Prosperous Times. BY E. A. FULLER, JR. ITH the public high school foot ball championship series summarily halted be- cause of a fist-fight that broke out among the players near the end of the Tech-Western game, more than usual interest attached to the battling in the prep school grid whirl hereabout this season, especially in the closing stages of the campaign. And the preppers didn't disappoint. “They put on a flock of encounters that packed thrills. While the depression has hit the prep schools hard in many sections of the country, necessitating curtail- ment of athletic programs, schools of the D. C. area have not been ma- terially affected. Just about as many schools were represented by elevens here this season as usual. And the best thing about it was they were, for the most part, almost on a par as to strength. T. ALBANS, coached by Rob Mid- dleton, had the most impressive record among the prep teams. ‘The Cathedral School squad started the season with good line material, but with virtually no experienced backfield talent. However, the eleven developed rapidly and the team boasts one of the best records a St. Albans eleven has achieved in some time. It was undefeated and untied in prep school competition here, trimming Georgetown Prep, Friends and Lan- don. ‘The Cathedral School combination doubtless could have beaten most of the public high elevens. Georgetown Prep, which has shone in the prep school firmament hereabout for sev- eral seasons, was not so hot this year, having lost virtually all its experi- enced players by graduation. The Garrett Parkers did manage to down their old foes, Gonzaga, but were held| to & tie by St. John's. Gonzaga and St. John’s, ancient rivals, also fought to a deadlock. Devitt and Bullis, the former re- turning to the gridiron game after more or less abandoning t for a while, and the latter a newcomer to schoolboy. foot ball renks here, each ‘won two games and lost one. Gon- zaga, which improved toward the last of the season, won one game, tied one and lost one. Landon, St. John's and Friends all were handicapped by lack of seasoned material Four St. Albans players have been awarded berths on The Star's 1934 all-prép team for the D. C. area. Gonzaga gets two positions, and Devitt, St. Johns, Georgetown Prep, Bullis and Landon each one. Five | of the boys picked live in the Wash- ington area, the others being from | various points in the East. | OR the ends the selections are Doug Phillips of St. Albans, a | Charles Town (W. Va.) boy, and | Fred McCoy of Gonzaga, who lives in this city. Phillips, a big youngster, weighing not far from 200, proved a fine end. He received passes nicely, | was good at end—around end plays, and defensively was a stout performer. McCoy also showed weil generally. He was a hard tackler and capable at snagging aerfals. Martin (Indian) Avignone, St. Johns, and Jim Toomey, | Georgetown Prep, handled themselves creditably at the wings and Arthur | Parquhar, Devitt, was another valu- | able end. Jake Foulois of Washington, Conn., St. . Albans captain, and Howard | (Squire) Pennington, Georgetown Prep leader, who hails from Altoona, | Pa., are the tackle selections. Both | blocked and tackled and did every- | thing else a good tackle is expected to do in thoroughgoing fashion. Foulois, in view of the leadership qualities he displayed, has been named captain of the mythical combination. Henry Arendes, St. John's, and Frank Fenwick, Gonzaga, were other tackles to perform in first-rate style. ‘The guard selections are Bob Snow, St. Albans. and Bill Kirby, St. John'’s, both Washington boys. Snow proved a good running guard and also backed | up the line in fine style. Kirby was a fast-charging guard and capable player generally. Joe (Pop) Sheehan, | St. John's, and Joe Thibadeau, Gon- | zaga, were guards of more than usual;K ability. | For center Tom Dunnington, Devitt, | gets the call over Clark Henderson, | St. Albans. Both are D. C. lads. Each is a high-grade snapper-back, but, Dunnington, a graduate of Gonzaga, | is picked because he is the more ex- | perienced. Berwin Morse, George- town Prep, was a better than average schoolboy center. ' “HARLEY ROSSER of Bellaire, Ohio, ace performer of the | Bullis eleven, has been awarded the quarterback job. His work was outstanding all season in all depart- | ments. Malcolm Luebkert, D. C. boy, a member of the Gonzaga team, has | been put at left halfback. He showed | well at kicking, passing and running. Alexander (Zan) Carver, fine St.| Albans back, who hails from Phila- delphia, wins the right halfback post. | His work was of high order in all| particulars. Bill Stallings, big Annap- olis boy, who gets the fullback as- signment, is a big fellow, who drove hard, blocked well and played strongly in all other departments. Among other first-flight backs were Bill Finley, St. Albans clever quarter; Jim Boyle, Gonzaga; Joe Mills and Johnny Boyle, Devitt: Charley Soule, St. Albans, and Jack Barr, PFriends. Mills, former all-high selection from Eastern, doubtless would have been selected for the first team had he played more with Devitt. All-Prep Eleven FIRST TEAM. Phillips (St. Albans).

Young Foot Ball Players Who Have Been Adjudged Best in Prep School Ranks Here BUCKNELL'S OZONE Puts Over Two Touchdowns in Third Quarter to Trim Penn State. By the Assoclated Press. EWISBURG, Pa., November 24.— In a battle of air forces Buck- nell came back in the third quarter today to score twice and defeat Penn State, 13 to 7, in the twenty-fourth game of a series which started 53 years ago. With Joe Reznichak doing the pass- ing Bucknell completed 8 of 13, State completing 3 of 16. The same Reznichak was Bucknell's standout, passing the way to one touchdown and running 9 yards for the second. He booted the extra point once. State’s score came in the first period when Cooper shoveled a screened pass to Knapp, who went 26 yards to score. It was a sideline sprint past seven Bucknell tacklers. Cooper added the point. From then on it was all Bucknell. Not once after the first quarter did State cross midfield, the famed Nittany aerial attack failing completely before Bucknell's alert secondary. Sitarsky Stars as Punter. N THE third period, after being denied touchdowns twice in the second, Bucknell scored first when Reznichak passed 16 yards to Smith. Seven plays later Reznichak went around the end for 9 yards to score after Boiston recovered Maurer's blocked punt. John Sitarsky probably did more territory. Punting terrific boots into the teeth of a 40-mile gale, he planted the oval four times within the 10.| with the ald of the breeze his sinker | punts wafted from 45 to 55 yards from the line of scrimmage.

WASHINGTON TEAMS PLAY SCORELESS TIE Serap Between Huskies, Cougars Watched by 38,000 Closes State's Season. s the Associated Press EATTLE, November 24—Washing- ton State College and the Uni- versity of Washington kicked each | other out of the limelight in the Pacific Coast Conference foot ball | race today, battling to a scoreless tie | before 38,000 fans. The blistering battle closed the con- ference season for Washington State | p, and gave the Cougars an undefeated league record and a stranglehold on at least second place. It was a sterling struggle from start to finish with long spiral kicks by | Ed Goddard of the Cougars and | Elmer Logg of the Huskies featuring | the play, but it left both teams with- out a chance for a bid to the Pasa- dena Rose Bowl game. Washington had the edge in the battle, gaining eight first downs and 123 yards from scrimmage, compared with six and 69 yards for Washing- ton State. The Huskies completed three of 10 passes for 31 yards, while the Cougars clicked for five out of Goddard had the better of the punting, averaging 42 to Logg's 39. Fame Gains Dopester Only “Hot Air” SMUKLER SHINES AS TEMPLE WINS Warner’s All-America Hope Leads Way as Unbeaten Owls Trim Villanova. By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, November 24.— Another Temple University foot-ball jinx was trampled on and burled with due ceremony today as the mighty undefeated Owls of Glenn (Pop) Warner crushed the Villanova College gridmen under a 22-to-0 score. 2 Far ahead in this yard-gaining, un- stoppable, point-scoring parade, was “Dynamite Dave” Smukler, line-bat- tering fullback, who pounded out 10 of .the Temple points and personally accounted for the Wildcat conquest in as great an individual grid exhibi- tion as ever has been seen in Phila- delphia. Forty thousand fans, jammed in Temple Stadium, saw Smukler and the 10 other Templars, steeped in the wiles of Warner deception and power, pile up the most convincing triumph ever seen in this competition of arch-rivals, bombard the Villanova goal line with three touchdowns and | a field goal, and emerge with the second Temple win over a Villanova team in the seven years of their grid relationship. Harry Stuhldreher's Wildcats— third Notre-Dame-system team to be | overcome by the Temple huskies this season—were unable to unleash any consistent advance, and not until the final period, when most of the Owl varsity had retired, were they even able to scratch out their three first downs. Smukler Steps Lively. MUKLER'S one-man show climax- ed this sophomore’s brilliant campaign with new glory. Nom- inee of Pop Warner for all-America honors, and 1934 renewal of the Warner tradition for great fullbacks, the Gloversville, N. Y. ball carrier ripped off 26 yards for the - first touchdown, scored in the second period; kicked a 24-yard placement k | field goal in the same quarter, and in the next session added a point after touchdown to a teammate’s tally. His performance netted 152 yards in 29 rushes and piled up eight first downs—five more than the entire Villanova team was able to garner. ‘Then, when the Owls were resting on an edge too one-sided for the ‘Wildcats even to hope to overcome, Smukler retired, his face torn in a scrimmage. Steals Foot Ball, T WAS Sophomore Dave, too, who paced Don Watts, sub halfback, across the goal line as inter- ference in the third period for Temple’s second touchdown. This score was helped along when Pete Stevens, Temple center and ceptain, yanked the ball out of Nick Koty's hands on the Villanova 16-yard line, a play called a “legitimate steal” by Referee Wilmer Crowell. Three minutes after Watts scored, Horace Mowrey took a 25-yard pass from him and cantered over the goal line for the final tally. Only Bucknell on Thanksgiving | day still remains in the victorious Temple path before the season’s end. The line-ups and summary. o Vilianova (0). . Korchinski Michaels Bl nchard Nowe Le Co: .

TILLWATER, Okla., November 24. Oklahoma A. and M. for the third time in the last six years today tied the hard charging University of Oklahoma Sooners. The game, ending 0-0, saw the visiting Sooners bite deep into Aggie territory time and time again only to have the Cowboys stiffen or stub- bornly throw back the Sooner offense. The Cowboys played on the de- fensive throughout a great part of the game, and good gains in midfield by Francis, Robertson, or the other Sooner backs, were cut off as the university boys marched down into Sooner attacks through the air re- sulted in the same bogging down as a steady march would bring the visi- tors down into Aggie territory, and within possible scoring distance.

By the Associated Press. OLORADO SPRINGS, No- vember 24—To the suc- cesstul fer, fame some- times grows wearisome and it doesn’t always mean pres- ents on the Christmas trees. Charlie Bishop says that about all his prognostications of sporting events have coined for him is “glory—in other words, hot air,” and he is a bit tired of it all. His experience has been that a prophet can earn plenty of honor in Eis own country—but not much profit. ‘ Bishop, 67-year-old resident of the Union Printers’ Home here, is the forecaster who picked the winning, place and show horses in the Kentucky Derby last Spring and misseq the winner’s time by only a fifth of a second, named the National League winner as the -season started and then won still more renown by predicting the St. Louis Cardinals would take the world series in seven games. The work involved in calling those impressive turns, Bishop says, nearly gave him a nervous break- down. Now he is reaping a not alto- gether welcome harvest from his prognostications—fan mail. So much so, that he is thinking of retiring from the field of fore- casting and seeking obscurity once more. “I keep getting letters from cranks,” he said. “It is getting on my nerves. I may not do any predicting next year, for from March to October this year I was under a constant strain. “There is nothing supernatural about my forecasting. I do not §0 into cataleptic fits or employ any fake soothsayer tricks. With me it was work—the hardest kind of work—research, study, copsult- ing records, statistics and reflling personal contacts with events of a dozen years past. It put me near a nervous breakdown. “T sent out 12 straight winners of races and all I got back from the hot shots who asked my tips was $7. I spent $30. A dollar a tip was all T got, more often nothing at all. I got glory—in other words, hot air. “Maybe next Summer I will go out in the mountains and look for a gold mine, with a better chanee than wasting my time for nothing as I did last year.” Most, persons who have written to Bishop wanted predictions on certain horse races so that, as one correspondent phrased it, he could “clean up” and |et_"pl:nty No. 1—Douglas Phillips, left end.

LONG ROANOKE RUNS DOWN HASKELL, 13-0 Patrone Sprints 42 Yards, Rice 48 for Touchdowns in Team's Final Game. By the Associated Press. OANOKE, Va., November 23— | Roanoke College wound up its 1934 gridiron campaign with a spectacular 13-0 victory over Gus Welch’s Haskell Indians, before 2,500 fans here today. A 42-yard spring off right tackle by Rip Patrone in the first period and one off left tackle for 48 yards by Raymond Rice in the last period ac- counted for the Maroon touchdowns. It was an unusual battle in which | the Redskins rolled up a total of 16 first downs to 3 for Roanoke, but found the Maroon defense unyielding in the shadow of their own goal. NORTH CAROLINA HARRIERS SCORE Ed McRae Individual Victor f in Southern Conference Championship Race. By the Associated Press. HAPEL HILL, N. C., November 24—Ed McRae, University of | North Dakota ace, captured individual honors today as his team won the Southern Conference cross-country championship in the eleventh annual run here. The North Carolina team had low score of 3l. champion, finished second with a score of 52. Other team scores were: North Carolina State, 58, and Washington and Lee, 96. McRae ran the 5-mile course in 26 minutes 41.6 seconds, 15.1 seconds slower than the record set by Galen Elliott of North Carolina in 1929. Easy for McRae. CRAE finished easily with a lead M of 150 yards over Bill Morse of Duke, who was second, and might have broken the record if he had been pressed. The other individual runners in the first 15 finished in the following order: Waldrop (N. C.), Heritage (Duke), Fallons (N. C. State), Davis (N. C. State), Dunaj (W. and L.), Gammon (N.C.),. Curlee, (N.C.), Conte (N.C.), Allen (N. C.), Aderholt (N. C.), Cur- rie (N. C. State), George (Duke) and Dator (Duke). THRILLER TO FLORIDA Comes Back in Last Half to Nick Georgia Teach, 13 to 12. GAINESVILLE, Fla., November 24 (#)—Breathing life into an appar- ently lost cause, Florida engineered a spectacular last-half comeback today to defeat Georgia Tech, 13 to 12, before a wildly cheering home-coming day crowd of 8,000. Columbia Subdues Syracuse In Surprising 12-0 Triumph BY EDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 24— Columbia’s sprightly Lions took advantage of two wide- ly separated scoring opportu- nities to hurl back a mighty Syracuse eleven today and score a surprise 12- 10-0 triumph over one of the best Orange teams in history. ‘The up-State power house, which has run roughshod over all opposi- tion this season except the magicians from Colgate, showed the 32,000 half- frozen spectators plenty of class to- day, but it could not crash the stone- wall line of the Rose Bowlers when scoring opportunity beckoned. The victory enabled the Lions to close their season with only one de- feat—the fourth straight year they have checked in with only one loss. Hudasky, Tomb Score. * Johnny Hudasky, filling in for the injured Al Barabas, and Tommy Tomb, the Lions’ wise-cracking quarterback, scored the touchdowns. Hudasky went over in the second quarter to climax a fine march down the field. Tomb counted in the fourth after an unlucky fumble had paved the way for the score. For a time it appeared like the Lions might come up with 11 iron men to match the sturdy combina- tion Yale sent against Princeton last week. Coach Lou Little used only three substitutes. None of them was called on until the third period. So far as the figures are concerned, the up-Staters had all the better of the argument in rushing, passing and kicking. They outrushed the Lions 136 yards to 116, outpassed them 22 yards to 11, and Jimmy Nolan, one of the best punters seen in New York this season, had the homors over Tommy Tomb. The trouble was, the visitors couldn’t make their gains when they would do the most good. A fine opening threat which car- ried all the way down to Columbia’s’ 5-yard line Nolan fumbled, but the other Syracuse thrusts were stopped cold by the heroic work of the Columbia line. Twice in the third quarter Columbia stopped Syracuse charges, once on the 25-yard line after a 37-yard run by Nolan, the best jaunt of the day, and egain on the 1-yard mark when Ray Reckmack, a fresh Syracuse back, was nailed in his tracks on two con- secutive tries. Display Varied Attack. ‘The drive which resulted in the first Lion touchdown was marked by the line smashing of Tomb and Hudasky and the former's passing and carried from the Syracuse 47-yard line to Hudasky's final 2-yard lunge for the score. Eddie Brominski failed to add the point. Less than five minutes before the final bell a fumble by Bennett Cody, 8 sub Orange back, gave Columbia the ball and set the stage for the other marker. Chase recovered the leather on the Syracuse 20. Tomb charged through for 11 yards and scored on the next play. Tomb, trying to carry the ball over for the score, was smeared just as the whistle blew.

By the Associated Press. OUSTON, Tex., November 24 —A thrice - beaten Texas Christian University team struck quickly here today, then remained unylelding for 52 minutes in the teeth of a terrific pounding to beat the Rice Owls 7 to 2 and remove them from the select list of the Nation's undefeated. The Frogs tore gaping holes in the right side of the Rice line and marched |80 yards for a touchdown the first | time they had possession of the ball. | After that the game belonged to Rice, with the invaders almost helpless on offerse and the Owls surging down the fleld time after time. Lawrence is Star. AWRENCE was the big noise in the Toad's winning drive. He made several gains as the Fort | Worth team advanced from its own 20-yard line to Rice’s 9. Three line plays netted only 3 yards. Lawrence made a short pass toss to Capt. Joe Coleman, standing behind the line of scrimmage, and the Frog quarterback charged 10 yards for a touchdown. Manton kicked goal. Rice perhaps would have been blanked but for the Frog's generosity in the fourth quarter. A punt by McCauley had rolled to the Christian 1-yard line, Coleman was sent back into the game to call for an intentional safety rather than risk the chance of punting out. Until today Rice had gone through nine games without defeat and had been tied only by Coach BIff Jones’ powerful Louisiana State Tiger. Bill Wallace, Rice's backfield candi- date for All-American, looked great even in defeat. He piled up a world of yardage on punt returns and made several long runs around end.
