Golfers.in St. John’s, Weak in Mate- rial, Hopes Merely to Keep Down Terp Score. BY ROD THOMAS. ARLY breaks are comjng to Georgetown and Maryland in the 1935 foot ball campaign, if tough ones for their first opponents may be counted as such. Albright College, which will be Georgetown’s opening foe October 5, is plumb out of luck. It has lost eight men upon whom Coach Clar-1| ence Munn, Minnesota All-America in 1931, had counted. | Four of Munn's men are not ex-| pected to be ready because of injuries, three are lost through scholastic de- ficiencies and one has quit school. Albright is expected to be fairly | well fixed for backs, but the line ap- parently will be weak. St. John’s, which Maryland will meet at College Park on September 28, has its smallest squad in years, made up mostly of green material. Coach Tody Riggs is hoping merely | to hold a powerful Maryland team to | a reasonable score. The Terrapins | believe they have an opportunity to| go places this Fall and may be in no mood to pull punches when they take on the Johnnies. Tarheels Are Strong. | NOT 50 good for the Terrapins, how- | ever, is the news from North | Carolina, which will be Maryland's | opponent October 12, in the Baltimore | Stadium. The Tarheels have 14 let- | ter men with every position except one | guard filled with tested material, | They have 13 reserves and 25 sopho- | mores. | North Carolina’s principal loss from | last year's team was George Barclay, | all-America guard, who will play this| season with the Boston Redskins in | the National Professional League. Coach Faber of Maryland rates North Carolina as one of the Terra- | pins’ strongest foes, on paper, and the tidings from Chapel Hill are that all 15 going well with the squad. | But Faber may be less perturbed over North Carolina than is Jim Pix- | lee, the George Washington conch.k over North Dakota, which the Co- lonials will meet on Thanksgiving day | st Griffith Stadium. The Nodaks, vou'll remember, hung a 7-0 shiner on the Colonials last year and the team from the plains is reported to be stronger than in 1934. On the Sat- urday previous to showing here North Dakota will meet Western Maryland in Baltimore, a game calculated to| take the kinks out of the travelers after the long trip from Grand Forks. | JIM PIXLEE all Summer has nursed ideas on further capitalizing on | ‘Tuffy Leemans, the Colonials’ ace | back of last season. and believes he | has found a productive one in a new shift plus the teaming of Tuffy with Joe Kaufman. With Kaufman coming up to expectations (which he is in scrimmages at Camp Letts), Leemans won't be squarely on the spot as he | was in every game George Washing- ton played last season. Kaufman may be as much of a threat as Leemans and concentration on one may permit | the other to get away. = Pixlee’'s hope is to shake Leemans loose on end runs and on the receiv- | ing end of forward passes, and now | that Kaufman, a sophomore, has evi- | denced ability to play first-string foot ball, Possum Jim is nothing/short of elated. Bill Reinhart, backfield coach, | has been impressed particularly with Kaufman's passing. Novel scenes of the Colonials in practice are being shown at the Met- ropolitan, Fox, Palace and Columbia Theaters. Later they will be seen | in neighborhood houses and then re- leased nationally. Get Weather Break. COACHES and players, cooped up for the most part indoors during | the last week, rejoice over the break | in weather, George Washington, | Georgetown, Catholic University and | Maryland all got away with a lot of | has been studying at Columbia Uni- | work yesterday. | Thirty-nine Hoyas had their frst | outdoor practice. Coach Haggerty has | little time to prepare his squad and | will hold two workouts a day start- | Ing today. He expects to scrimmage the squad late next week. | Haggerty, planning a varied aerial | offensive, was pleased yesterday with | the throwing of Nolan and Keating | and the receiving of Barabas, Sny- | der and Cavadine, players who are expected to bear the brunt of the overhead attack. Promising ability as a passer also ‘was shown by Len Scalza, a cousin of Johnny Scalzi, colorful backfield star in the Lou Little regime on the Hilltop. Rely on Guckeyson. ILL GUCKEYSON, who came to Maryland from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School without ever hav- ing handled a foot ball, likely will be a bright star this season in his junior year. Guckeyson has gained 10 pounds over the Summer, shooting his weight to 185, and the new pound- age is all muscle and bone. Coach Faber may build his running | sttack around Guckeyson, who not only can carry the mail but pass and kick above average. In the backfieid with Guckeyson in yesterday’s scrim- mage, the first for the Terrapins, were Tuffy Sachs, Coleman Headley, who ealled signals and Johnny Gormley. ‘With Jack Stonebreaker also on hand, the Terrapins won't want for back- Beld power and versatility.

Only one of them has drawn a bye, and the other | seven are drawn against tough op- ponents, according to the pairings re- leased today by the United States Golf Association for the initial 18- hole match play round. The quirk of the draw, which is an out-of-the- hat proposition barring a few seeded players, throws Roger S. Peacock, In- dian Spring ace and chief hope of the Capital, against young Hickman Greene of Manor in the opening round. Another match finds Volney G. Burnett, the golfing fireman from Indian Spring, paired against Morton J. McCarthy, chubby-cheeked Middle Atlantic champion frcm Princess Anne at Virginia Beach. Harry G. Pitt, Manor Club's cham- pion and former king of the local amateurs, draws the only bye of the local contingent in the opening round. Last year three of Washington's five qualifiers drew - first-round byes. Pairings of the other Washingtonians are as follows: Craig McKee, Indian Spring, vs. Hal Chase, Des Moines, Iowa; Maurice L. Nee, ‘Columbia, vs. Julius Hughes, Atlanta, Ga.. Page Hufty, Chevy Chase, vs. Charles Kocsis, Birmingham, Mich.; S. Levi Yoder, Indian Spring, vs. Francis Ouimet, Boston, Mass. Yoder draws the toughest assign- ment in Ouimet, twice a winner. of the amateur championship and once the national open king. The local lads are scattered through the four quarters of the draw, with McKee and Nee in the third quarter, where they may clask if both win their first few matches. ‘W. Lawson Little, jr., the larruping Californian, who is seeking his second straight national championship, was seeded, and drew Rufus King of Den- ver down in the fourth quarter, where Bobby Riegel, the Southern champion from Richmond, plays Bayard Storm of Charlotte, N. C. The fourth quar- ter also includes Dave' (Spec) Gold- man of Dallas, Tex., whom Little beat in last year’s final. George Voigt of New York, former Capital star, and Joe Lynch, 1935 Georgetown golf cap- tain, were among those drawing first~ round ‘byes. Maurice J. McCarthy of Cleveland, another former Hoya cap- tain, is paired against Bernard Deer- ing of Ithaca, N. Y, Maurice got into the championship over his home course when two of the Cleveland dis- trict qualifiers withdrew from the tourney. ? Frankie Strafaci, the national pub- lic links champ, who was to arrive at Cleveland today, meets Zell Eaton, the 1934 Western amateur title- holder, while Chick Evans of Chicago, one of the several ex-champions in the list, is paired against young Rey- nolds Smith of ‘Dallas, & semi-finalist last year. Charlie Kocsis, whom Hufty meets, is one of the college stars who played at Congressional in the intercollegiate tourney last June. Ed White, the college champion, playing in his first national amateur, drew a bye. W, D, (Dub) Fondren of Asheville, N. C., who makes his home in Washington but qualified here as a floater, is paired against Douglas Hill of Cin- cinnati. | The first six matches in the cham- pionship will be at 18 holes, with | semi-finals and finals all at 36 holes. COGGINS PASSES REINS TO PEARCE Appointment of Former G. W. Player as Central Grid Coach Is Assured. BY BURTON S. HAWKINS., ITH his appointment now considered a mere formal- ity, Hardy Pearce, former George Washington Uni- versity tackle, will replace Bert Cog- gins as foot ball coach at Central High School, it was learned yesterday when the capable Colonial took charge at the first out- door workout of the Central squad. Coggins, who has received his appointment as mechanical drawing teacher at the new Wood- row Wilson High School. asked for the shift, but in all probability will assist Pearce until the new mentor gets his bearings. Stephen E. Kramer, assistant su- perintendent of schools, has been un- able to pass on the matter due to illness, but Pearce is expected to get the nod over E. L. Littman of New York and Willlam Dove Thompson, Jjunior high school athletic instructor. Both Littman and Thompson are to be appointed to the coaching staff at Woodrow Wilson. Carl F. Heintell, Tech basket ball coach, also is on the eligible list, but his selection over Pearce is con- sidered doubtful. Hardy Pearce. Coggins’ Career Successful. | JPEARCE, 6 feet 2 inches, well oger | 200 pounds and recently married. is not new to the coaching angle of the grid game, having assisted Char- ley Guyon at Eastern last year. Dur- ing the absence of Bruce Kessler, who versity, Pearce has been acting phys- ical education director at Eliot Junior High School. . Although one of the most consist- ent tackles to come under the wing of Jim Pixlee, the towering Texan failed to make the big headlines until he. along with Johnny Baker and “Nig” McCarver, was banished from the Tennessee-G. W. game in 1933 a few minutes before the contest was to get under way. The Volunteers then crippled the Colonial crew by eliminating the trio for previous pig- | skin participatjon with a junior col- lege in Texas. One of the foremost linemen to emerge from the downtown institu- tion since George Washington's as- cendancy into the grid limelight, Pearce played a' prominent part i many Buff and Blue wins. “Zuzu” Stewart, colorful Colonial guard, owed much of his fame to the burly giant who cleared the way for his downfield tackles. Coggins thus ends a most successful athletic career. A five-letter man at Maryland University, starring in foot ball, track, lacrosse, tennis and base ball, Bert came to Centrel in 1923 as basket ball coach and immediately proceeded to make the Blue basketers dangerous in scholastic competition. Fought Off Criticism. REACHING the heights with his 1924-5 quint, winners of the Eastern interscholastic championship at the University of Pennsylvania tournament, Coggins branched out into gridiron tutoring in 1931 when Ty Rauber resigned his post to go with the Department of Justice. Sacrificing & possible fair showing in 1932, Bert built his team for the future. Finishing in the cellar that year, Coggins faced a bitter attack from Central's “C” Club unflinch- ingly. In 1933, under Coggins, the Central eleven went through 11 games without & defeat, breaking a five-year ‘Tech stranglehold on the scholastic title. That Coggins has handed his reins over to a capable coach became fully ‘evident when Pearce put the squad through a brisk training session yes- terday. Candidates for the Central team, from Capt. Ross Chaimson down .o little Johnny Smith, realize they have a fight on their hands if they want to play ball for Pearce. He comes from a land where men are men and he looks the part of a square - shooter. You can bet that nickel you wére going to place Baer that Central’s foot ball not be 11 softies—not if Pear anything to do with it—and he 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR | LAUDE R.

It all comes about because of a couple of shots that came off on the ninth hole at Congressional the other day.

McCALLUM. | WITH something like 23 suc- cessful rcunds of match play behind him against the best amateur golfers in the world, there isn't any room for doubt that William Lawson Little, jr., | the raven-haired guy from San Fran- | cisco s next week going to be the hot- | test shot who has entered any cham- pionship since Bob Jones gave up amateur championship play five years ago. But the funny part of the joust which starts over the Cleveland Coun- try Club course next Monday is that there are half a hundred guys in there capable of a round of golf hot enough to wipe Lawson Little clean out of the tournament. May Be Super-Golfer. NDER the present system of cham- pionship play, with the title- holder required to work like a steve- dore right through the affair like any other journeyman golfer, it would seem possible for one man not to run up against a hot round and be licked. | Yet Lawson Little has done it in three | straight championships—two in Brit- | ain and one in this country—and he | has yet to take the count. Can it be | that the super-golfer finally has ar- | rived or is Little vulnerable like any | other human hitting a golf ball? If he goes through this one (and he will be about a 1 to 4 shot to do it) he will haVe done something no man ever be- fore has accomplished, by winning the two major amateur championships two | years in a row. Bob Jones couldn't | do it, and Bob was good enough to do | almost anything in golf. And there | hasn't been any other shotmaker fast enough to come close. Psychology Plays Part. { (QUT there in Cleveland will gather the links, cream of the Nation, | men and boys, who shoot their 66s and 67s around home; men and boys who can uncork a hot round any time. | But will they do it against Lawson Little? ‘There's something about the glamor of a champion, particularly a champion like Little, which forbids the boys getting hot against him. But that isn’t all, for when Lawson turns on the heat he can go as far as any of them. Suppose, however, that Law- | son had run into Willie Turnesa last year at Brookline when the little boy | from New York flung a 32 on the first | nine at Charlie Yates? Suppose he had met one of the other lads who were doing their 68s? But he didn't, They don't seem to do that sort of e thing against him, as they weren’t able | to do it against Bob Jones in the old | days. Lawson is so darned good, so keen, such a long hitter and such a fine putter, that he seems to have the other lads buffaloed. But let a boy like Roger Peacock have one of his hot rounds against | him and he will have to be strictly on | his stick. Roger is like one of half a | hundred others—golfers who are apt to go wild any time. The marvel is not that Lawson has won so much, but that he hasn‘'t had one of those wild rounds shot against him. He would fall, like any one else, were the boys to go crazy and hole everything | In sight. It may happen next week. PRESS BOX “Louis Can Fight,” Langford Declares, But Won’t Say Mu BY JOHN EW YORK, September 7.— “You like Louis, don't you, Sam?” Sam Langford moved sleepily in his private chair in his private corner of Harlem. He laid one hand on a paunch that grows rounder and heavier year by year. “How you mean?” asked Sam. “He's a\pretty nice boy, ain't he?” “Well,” said Sam, “he’s a nice boy, maybe. I don’t know, He can fight.” “I still don't like him,” said the white fan. I like & colored fighter to have some- thing more than that. wild, happy-go-lucky, easy-come-easy- go kind of fighters.” “Like who?2” Likes Fiery Fighters. "W!:LL. like Johnson. Like Joe Wal- cott. Or like Sam here. Yeah, like Sam. He was my kind of a col- ored fighter. He had some juice to him. This Louis, he’s just a dumb, cold guy. Outside of the way he can fight, he might just as well be a white man. He don't give you no kick. You can't pull for him.” The white fan stopped & moment to set his ideas straight, to find the right words. Sam Langford put in a drowsy remark. “Walcott could fight,” “Wills, he never could. amounted to nothin’, Wills, I'm sayin'” ‘The white fan lifted a finger. “Pll tell you the kind of guy T mean,” he said. “That Sikl Maybe he was a tramp and = bum and a no-good jungle jig, but you could get excited about him.” “He lived wild and he died wild. Can you imagine Louis living or dying like him?" “Nossuh,” said Sam Langford with & deep sigh. His eyelids dropped over his eyes. “Nossuh.” No, you can’t imagine that. Not Joe Louis, the comfortable, sleek, sulky, sleep-ridden home boy from Detroit, the boy who saves his money and treats his mother right and cuts down his victims as neatly and coldly as a guillotine and then goes home tor more sleep. Maybe some day Joe will break out of his coccoon, but he’ll never be like Siki. If you remember he said.

LARDNER. | Carpentier Scared Siki. | BUT he outgrew that. In the war, Siki was a hero, winning half a | dozen medals for courage that was | reckless and crazy. He was scared | only once in his life. That was in the early rounds of his fight with Georges | Carpentier, and his fear was the sort |of idolatrous fear which a savage might feel for a new god that is wor- shipped by the white men around him. When he found that Car- pentier was human he beat him brutally. He was never scared of a white man again. In Paris he swashbuckled through the white man's drink-and-girl | quarter with a monkey on his shoulder and a lion cub dragging | behind him. He wrecked the office of a white chiropodist who refused to treat his black feet. In New York | he laughed at cab drivers, cops and bartenders. When they told him to | pay his tabs in Hell's Kitchen, he | grinned and slapped his way to the sidewalk. It was on the sidewalk that he ended—half on the sidewalk and half in the street, with a couple of bullets in his back. He had 3 cents in his pocket and his total cash assets amounted to $600. They gave him a | Mohammedan funeral. “Well,” said the white fan, listen- | ing to this, “that’s one way to die.” “And while he lived he gave you something to think about. “Or take Jack Johnson. There was a wild, easy fella that gave you ex- citement inside the ring and out of it. And Walcott and Sam, here, was the same.” “But not doing =0 good right now.” “Well, you can't have it both ways,” admitted the white fan. “I'm just | saying that Sam is my kind of a col- ored fighter. Not this Louis. Huh, Sam?” Sam Langford opened his eyes and shifted his paunch. | “Yessuh,” he said. “Tha's what you | say.” « (Copyright. 1935. by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.)
