SPORTS Georgetown Morale Is High as Squad Reports—G. W. Soon Scrimmages. BY ROD THOMAS. BORN general will call the signals for Maryland’s foot ball team when the Terrapins open what promises to be a tough, but successful campaign, Sep- tember 28, against St. Joha's of Annapolis at College Park. Charlie Ellinger is the name. Head Coach Jack Faber played Ellinger at end last season, his sopho- | more year, but now believes he has a find in the 6-foot, 168-pound Balti- morean as a quarterback. Ellinger's capacity for geaeralship was spotted by Faber when Charlie last year called the plays for the | Maryland lacrosse team. As a flank- man in foot ball he was particularly efficient in defensive play and catching passes but was not a regular, what with the presence of such accom- plished ends as Vic Willis and Lou Ennis, both back. He's Like Bill Evans. XCEPT that he’s a larger lad, Ellinger is remindful of probably the coolest-thinking athlete ever to sport the colors of Maryland—Bill | Evans, who seemed always to know exactly what to do and how to do it with the least possible effort. He, too, was a quarterback. Faber is giving particular attention | to several other new backfield candi- dates, notably Knocky Thomas, Bill| Bryant and Waverly Wheeler, all from | ‘Washington. | There were 37 men in the Old Line squad when it began its third day of practice. Bernie Buscher, letter man end: Bob Campiglio, another wing- man who was on the squad last sea- son and Bill Aitcheson, a green line- man, were the latest to join the Terp forces. Vic Willis, end, and John Birkland, tackle, both 1934 regulars, are the only notable absentees, excepting Jack Stonebreaker, fleet back, who is ex- cused until the end of the week. Without the coaching staff yester- day having outlined all the early sea- son stuff, the Old Liners now are toil- ing along objective lines, in addition to the sessions in fundamentals. Hoyas Hopped Up. 'OOT BALL morale at Georgetown | was the highest it has been in years today when the Hoyas' green but | promising squad held its first get- | together of the season on the Hilltop. The pledge of faith in Head Coach Jack Hagerty, as exemplified by a new three-year contract, was not needed in the case of the players. At no time in the modern gridiron history of the Blue and Gray has its foot ball coach been so solidly popular with the war- riors and never has there been less | criticism from the alumni. | Hagerty achieved all and more than was expected of him last season and the Hilltop authorities and the alumni | feel that he will get the most out of his present material, which includes 31 sophomores in a squad of 44 men. | The Hoyas are expected to special- {ze in aerials. Bergman At It Again. DUTCH BERGMAN, head foot ball man at Catholic University, is prolific with ideas these days. Dutch is drilling the Cardinals in a new | military shift which promises not only | to delight the spectators but to make life extremely interesting to Brookland | foemen. The players like the shift and are catching on quickly. | Another Bergman idea, the jacketed | foot ball, which can be handled on | e muddy fleld as efficiently as the! ordinary oval in dry weather, is ex- pected to save & number of gridiron | shows from being flops this Fall | Some of the best games scheduled | here last season were spoiled by mud | on the leather. A number of leading coaches plan | to use Bergman’s ball on rainy days although it has not yet been sanc- tioned officially by the Rules Com- mittee. Tommy Whelan and Vinnie Fraatz, newly appointed Bergman assistants, have reported: Break for Pixlee. THOSE statistics which declared | what every one had expected for s long time, that Washington would not win & pennant this year, may have been potent with grief for Clark Griffith, but to Jim Pixlee, George Washington grid boss, they were & source of relief. ‘When Pixice last year scheduled the | G. W.-Alabama game for October 5 at Griffith Stadium, neither he mnor Griffith realized that it was on that Saturday that the American League elub would be the home team in the | i 1935 world series. Consequently, with | o) Y I IEE o0 KOG o ent Griff fans talking “pennant” early in the season, Pixlee was advised that should such a possibilty eventuate the stadium would be unavailable for foot ball. It pleases Possum Jim mightily that he is certain not to have to play the Rose Bowl champions in the Central High School Stadium. The Colonials spent the better part of two hours yesterday putting on tricks for newsreels at Camp Letts, with the snappy ideas of Publicity Man Jack Espey prevailing Jack’s plece de resistance had the Colonials representing Alabama players, leap- ing over the rim of a semi-circular contraption topped with roses and inscribed “Alabama Champions, From Rose Bowl to Washington, D. C.” Jenkins Is Missing. A COUPLE of Colonials put on & scrimmage in a large mud pud- dle, also a creation of Espey, and took turns falling on the ball—or at it— for the thing under the conditions was as elusive as a greased pig. Every member of the squad is on hand now except George Jenkins, junior halfback from Miami, Okla. and nobody seems to kmow his where- fThe first scrimmage will be held next Saturday and from there on there will be no let-up in hard work /Camp Letts. The Colonials will against Emory and Henry, not e to be soft pickings, three from Saturday, and the follow- ing week will come the Crimson Tide. The first foot ball squad in the his- tory of Wilson Normal College, num- Dbering more than 20 players, reported yesterday to Coach Doc White at Cen- Stadium and will hold daily | Robert B. Young of Upperville, two trgl w&kouu from 1 to 3 pm. L3 Local leaders who are arranging for the annual Fall classic to be held this year on the Potomac, Septem= ber 26 to 29, are shown here at a luncheon, where detalls were goné over. Left to right: R.

LIVELY chase for the silver | championship bowl undoubt- | edly will materialize in the Chevy Chase Horsé Show to | be held on Saturday afternoon at the Meadowbrook Saddle Club as the in- | augural feature of one of the most active Fall schedules of equine sports ever presented in the Capital area. Officials of the meet said today that | nearly a dozen horses that have won | either championship honors or reser\e" rosettes at various nearby shows will compete for the title at the Chevy Chase, Md., vlant. The veteran Rocksie, fine bay geld- | ing of Miss Margaret Cotter, one of Washington's most accomplished equestriennes, won the championship at the two most recent shows held in | Montgomery Ccunty, the Rock Creek | and the third show of the Riding and | Hunt Club, and he will be out after his third consecutive tri-color and the bowl. Some Capable Entries. AMES N. ANDREWS' Kippema, ace | of the young Keswick (Va.) ex- hibitor's stable, who won the title at the second Riding and Hunt Club meet, and Sun Gleam, owned by Miss A. J. Carabelli of Washington, title winner in the first Riding and Hunt Club event, also will be in the run- | ning. Hi Jinks, the hunter of Mrs. D. N. Lee of Middleburg, Va., who won the champlonship at the American Legion show; U. 8. Randle's Governor, Knights of Columbus show champion; George P. Plummer’s King Dominant, F. L. Oyster’s Catalan Blue and Fen- ton M. Fadeley’s Hunger Marcher, all recenf winners of reserve titles, are expected to be among the leaders. Another strong contender is Mrs. Gladys Haberman's Sun Di. Drill May Compete. IT IS expected that Drill, the 4-year- old colt of W. Carleton Eacho, which won the championship of the Camden, N. C., show; two blues in as many classes at Charleston, N. C.; & championship at one of the Riding and Hunt Club’s indoor meets last Winter; a Reserve rosette at the | American Legion meet and a host of other awards at numerous shows, also may enter. Drill, dark brown son of Dress Parade-Frock, is a grandson of the great Man o' War. Fort Myer’s horse show team, which will send Clipped Wings, Sandy and Turn On, likewise will make a bid with the horses being handled by Capt. Marion Carson, Lieut. F. 8. Henry and Lieut. Henri Luebberman, three of the most accomplished riders in the service. Maj. Herbert Ernest of Fort Myer is to show Silver Moon.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISONBURG. Va., September | 4—Culpeper and Front Royal, | |/ winner and runner-up in both halves of the Valley Base Ball ‘League this season, were to begin a five-game post- season series this afternoon at Front Royal, according to plans of George Holtzman, president of the Valley League. ‘Tomorrow’s game Wwill be played at Culpeper. A third game also will be played at Culpeper, but not until Sunday. The teams will return to Front Royal on Monday and if a fifth game is necessary, a site will be chosen at that time. Harrisonburg finished the seccnd half of the season in a tie with Front Royal for second piace, but the run- ner-up position was awarded to the latter on the basis of its play all sea- son. In 42 games, Front Royal won 30, while Harriscuburg won 28. The second half standings and the season’s final standings, follow: Second-Half Standins. Culpeper. ¥ % R Ft.

Lee's Broken | Glass in the charmed circle was the most exciting event at Col- vin Run's annual meeting, | Many times proclaimed the finest| hunter type ever bred in Virginia,| that mighty bay has been in retire- ment recently. | Emerging from the cloistered life on Saturday, Broken Glass soon hit his form, skipped off with two individual blues and shared others in the pair | and team classes, and was withal a delight to behold. He showed some marks of doctoring | for the troubles that cut short his major show career, but moved quite soundly that afternoon and occasion- ally turned in one of those “piano- piano-jump” performances that used to stir the railbirds to ecstacy all over Virginia and the Eastern circuits. | Broken Glass—and if you want to have a look at the model of all per-| fect shoulders regard his—wound up| with a reserve champlonship, finish- | ing behind Edwin Vaughan's Sir Greystone, ‘The principal jumping events—touch and out and time class —were snared by Fenton Fadeley's reliable Hunger Marcher and Dash- | wood Darling'’s Ben Brady, respec- tively, the latter winning the time | trial by half-a-second margin over De Long Bowman's Dan and Blue Zip, which finished the outside course in exactly 35 seconds. Remaining honors were scattersd about to Bob Ritticor's Spring Miss, | & worthy mare if one breathes in Vir- ginia; Jimmy Andrews' Tranquility, which his sister Ann rode to win the road hacks and pick up some minor awards here and there, and W. E. Bogert's Gay Cockade, rated high both as a non-thoroughbred-type hunter and as an open horse. As USUAL, when committees re- gard such factors, the outside | course aroused and held spectator in- | terest in the hunter events, offering an opportunity for utility hunters to display their cross-country qualities. It also was interesting to note that working hunters usually ‘stepped up into the ribbons when classes were sent over the outside route. Vet how they are hated by most of the dealers and people who show horses only as sales promotion. Above all other things, the onlook- ers down at Colvin Run seemed to be having fun. A pleasant air of informality prevailed and, if small shows do nothing else, they can give people an afternoon of relaxation. | The big ones sometimes become strained, what with so many owners and riders battling tooth and nail to win. Since the Saturday meet was a success, it has been decided to use the same grounds for a donkey base ball game this Friday night between the members of the Fairfax Hunt and the farmers of Fairfax County. That ought to be gay enough for the spectators. What it will be to the mule jockeys is another matter. OTS of news about the horse show judges today. To begin with, we might mention the able job performed Saturday by Emily North King and Maj. Arthur Thayer at Colvin Run. Then Jack Allen announces that the arbiters for the Chevy Chase horse show he is directing this Saturday at the Meadowbrook Club will be Arthur White of Middleburg and Rob- ert B. Young of Upperville. The National Horse Show sends out a long and imposing list for its fracas November 6 to 12. Maj. Gen. Leon B. Kromer, chief of Cavalry; Maj. Gen. J. H. McBrien of Ottawa, Canada, head of the Royal Mounties, and Brig. Gen. Guy V. Henry, commandant of the Cavalry School, will take care of the international military jumping events. The hunters and civillan jumpers bring into action two Virginians, Wil- Ham Bell Watkins, M. F. H. of the —Star Staff Photo. Blue Ridge Hunt, and J. North Fletcher of Warrenton. Rating hunt- ers with Mr. Watkins will be Roy Jackson, M. F. H. at Bryn Mawr, and W. Brook Fuller of Milwaukee. Fletch- er's colleague will be Maj. John B.| Thompson of West Point. Horsemanship trophy classes will perform before Mrs. G. R. D. Schlef—i felin of Convent, N. J., and equitation matters will be settled by Walter Von | Lambeck of Rochester, N. Y. The saddle horse and saddle pony trio are to be Robert G. Jones of Paris, Ky.; Revel Lindsay English of Chino, Calif., and Frank Adair of Atlanta, Ga. Capt. Bertram W. Mills of London, England, has been assigned the har- ness horse, harness pony and hackney breeding classes and the roadster divi- sions go to Mr. Jones. "THE first three week ends in Octo- ber now are reserved for Virginia horse shows, with Warrenton, Fairfax and Manassas all holding forth with two-day meetings. September dates were relinquished by these three at the request of health authorities seek- ing to curb the spread of infantile paralysls, and their respective com- mittees entertain the sanguine hope that the delay will result in larger en- tries, as many show strings will have returned from Northern campaigns by that time. Shows or no shows, good shows, bad shows, very, very indifferent shows— the best news we know is that the cool and damp weather has made cub hunting excellent around here. Those sleek and fat show sirens can go play WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Think Slow Giants Retarded 1934 Team—Outlook for This Fall Bright. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. 08 ANGELES, September 4.— L Grid giants are out at the Uni- versity of Southern California this year. This was the emphatic announce- ment of Coach Howard Jones today as he pondered over the task of sal- vaging from the 1934 season's wreck- age material for the coming season. “We had too many men on the team last year,” said Troy’s head man sadly, “who couldn’t handle their weight. If I wasn't convinced before, I am now, that size doesn’t determine strength of a foot ball player. Speed Comes First. N COURSE, a big man who can handle himself is all right, but they are scarce, while we saw plenty of players weighing 175 to 180 pounds last year who could put a 200-pounder out of the play.” So the order has gone out from the Trojan grid battlements to reduce and the incoming reports are favorable to Coach Jones. Troy's mentor plans no drastic changes in his foot ball set-up to bring his team back into its winning stride. He is going to give the line, which was so weak a year ago, con- centrated personal attention, con- vinced that if the forwards function properly the offense and defense will pretty well sake care of themselves. “Open up the offense and throw laterals? Sure,” he said, “if we can find players capable of handling them. But my team is not going to throw the ball around a lot because it is the popular thing to do and have the passes fail. Count on Ambition. MBITION on the part of the play- ers is our element of hope. “We are in a better position to have a good team than we were last year. We have no all-Americans. Nobody 15 sitting on a pedestal. “There is none on the squad who can say he is a great grid player after what happened to us last year. Every- body is going to werk harder this year and that includes the coaches.” | The schedule: September 28. Monta na. October ollege of the Pacific: their own jumping games. We're off to see a fellow about a fox. Pirst cubbing note of the season: Fairfax hounds ran a game red fox two hours on Monday morning, part of the time in a downpour. The staff and three guests were in the field. HUSTLE SOFT BALL CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY Aggies, Sport Center May Clash in Morning Game to Beat Na- tional Deadline. BECAUBE the city’s championship soft ball team must be in Chi- cago by midnight Priday in order to be eligible for the national soft ball series which starts Saturday morning, the United States Agricul- ture and Sport Center tens will play their title game tomorrow morning or afternoon if rain again forces a cancellation of today's scheduled con- test. Otherwise they will meet at § o'clock this afternoon. Two games within 24 hours—that is the program now faced by the Aggies, who are billed for a game at Grifith Stadium tonight. At 8:30 o'clock they will begin combat with the Young Democrats from Topeka, | Kans., undefeated but four times this year in 54 games. Whether or not Abe Rosenfield, outstanding pitcher of the Aggies, will attempt the “iron man” stunt and hurl both games, could not be determined. A prel ry game at the ball park brings ther the P. W. A. team and the Grosner All-Stars at 7:30 o’clock. NINES SET FOR SERIES Heurichs and Acacia Are Slated for Opening Encounter. Heurich Brewers and Acacia In- surance were to begin their fight for the base ball championship of the city today at 4:30 o'clock on the South Ellipse. Left-handers were slated to pitch for both teams—Joe Sullivan for Acacia and Reggle Brown for Heurichs. The series, being conducted on the double knock-out plan, will be con- tinued on Friday when Mount Vernon, Church League champion, plays the Government Printing Office, winners of the Federal League. Tomorrow’s scheduled game between Kanns and N. R. A. has been postponed until next week. GUN REPAIRING 5-Shot Repeaters con- verted to comply with New York Duck Law.

On two previous occasions this year the M-M girls have been forced to play quarter, semi-final and final matches on the same afternoon, and they had split even on their en- deavors—up to yesterday, But today they hold a 2-1 margin in their mara- thon attempts, the result of their vic- tories over three pairs of opponents. First, they resumed & match with Florence Black and Mary Ryan which was tied at a set apiece. Sara.and Dorette won the only set they were forced to play, 6—3, to enter the semis. Next, they took Frances Bassett and Mary Robinson over the nets, 6—3, 6—3. And then, proving they were as NATS LET HENSIEK GO Relief Pitcher Is Sent Back to Albany Internationals. Phil Hensiek, Washington relief pitcher, today was returned to the | Albany club of the International League. A part-time twirler with Albany, Hensiek came to the Griffs on that basis but failed to exhibit enough tal- ent to warrant retaining him. He broke into the Washington line-up for the first time on August 15, losing to Detroit by granting four hits and a base on balls in one and two-thirds innings after relieving Ed Linke. In his initial starting appearance, Cleveland, being shelled from the mound after giving up 13 hits in four frames. During six games, in three of which he was charged with defeat, Hensiek granted 22 hits and nine walks while fanning five in 13 innings. ——e WANTS DOUBLE-HEADER. Kensington A.

By the Associated Press. AINESVILLE, Fla., September 4—Florida’s Gators, with s back - breaking foot ball schedule, probably will de- pend on an apparently first-clasg backfield behind a questionable line. The Gators again will be hampered by a lack of capable reserves, unless several sophomores strike their stride. Among the 23 backs summoned to the first practice, Dutch Stanley and his all-alumni coaching staff will have the makings of a proficient ball-toting quartet. Picks Chase to Star. STANLEY believes Billy Chase, eap= tain and halfback, s headed for his best year, Chase is a good runner and usually does most of the punting and passing. Barring injuries, which kept him out most of last season, Harold Rowe, junior halfback, may turn into a dependable ground-gainer. Kenneth Eppert and Walter Middlekauff, both light but shifty, probably will direct the team mos} of the time. Tackles Her Problems. END and center positions appear to be slated for able hands, but the guards are doubtful, and Starbuck and Stark, last year's first-string tackles, will be missed. The schedule follows: September—28.
