SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMBER 8, 1935—PART ONE. SPORTS. B9 WEWM Ring Up Four Touchdowns While Terrapins Fail to Cross Goal. BY ROD THOMAS. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY rang up four touchdowns and aryland failed to score in a “practice game” at College Park yesterday, but don’t use it as dope. The boys weren't playing leap frog, but neither were the head coaches, Bergman of C. U., and Faber of the Terrapins, bent upon a victory. The significant point brought out was that Catholic University will be primed for a stiff opening game with La Salle, which tied the Cardinals in their first battle of last season, 6-6. They will meet at Brookland on Oc- tober 5. The workout, for such it really was, also proved the efficacy of Spring training. Looking well ahead. Berg- | man anticipated a tough early test and bore down in the drills of robin time. His squad showed yesterday that it was far advanced. Maryland's was not, but the Terps will have a breezer before moving into serious action. On September 28 they will meet St. John's of Annapolis, which isn't up to par, and will use this game to whet for a formidable foe, V. P. L, the following Saturday. Cards Toss Oval. CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY gave some indication, perhaps, of its plans for the coming campaign by using a lateral attack. One of its touchdowns was achieved by this method, Bergman watched with sat- isfaction the offensive performances of Shaughnessy, Adamaitis, Schmarr and Carroll. All are backs except Schmarr, a flankman. Only a few plays were used by either team and Maryland withheld Guckeyson, ace back, and Andorka, center, from the scrimmage. Both have slight injuries. The Cardinals appeared particu- farly well drilled in fundamentals, even as every other team fashioned at Catholic University by Dutch | Bergman. They were not under genuine pressure but there was strong evidence of poise, versatility and bal- ance in the Cardinals’ 1935 outfit which some critics have predicted will be the finest ever put forth at Brook- land. Headley Okay as General. MORE than 70 players took turns on the feld and both Bergman | and Faber appeared well satisfied with their men. Coleman Headley, who has a dan- | gerous rival for the Maryland quar- terback post in Charley Ellinger, called the plays yesterday in commendable style. Johnny Gormley, formerly of Tech High, showed to advantage in the Terrapin backfleld, particularly on defense, and other Old Liners who | shone were Al Farrell, big guard; Lou | Ennis, end, and Ed Minion, gua.nt LINE BIG PROBLEM FOR HOWARD TEAM Only Three Regular Forwards on Hand—Plenty of Material for Backfield. BLFSSED with a wealth of backfield material, Coach Charles West will find his greatest problem in digging up a sturdy front line as Howard University foot ball candidates report | for their initial practice tomorrow at Howard Stadium. ‘With only three regular linesmen returning, namely, Lee Bridges, Bishop Hart and Edgar Patterson, West, nevertheless, is optimistic about the | chances of the Bison eleven this Fall. Assisting the head mentor will be Ewart McGruder and Joseph Cole, last year’s co-captains. Berry Williams, a local boy, colored intercollegiate sprint champion, heads an imposing array of ball-toting pros- pects. Two former all-Stdte "hlghl school players are included in the‘ roster in James Williams of Superior, Nebr., and Odel Pryor, Fort City, Pa. Pryor averaged nearly two touchdowns & game during 35 scholastic contests. Others who will be fighting for back- field posts include Paul Perkins, Bernard Johnson, Bob Anderson, William Grifin, “Giggles” Stallings, Le Vart Armstrong and Justine Plum- mer. Bishop Hart will captain the 1935 Bison griddérs. PARSONS REGAINS TRAPSHOOT TITLE Cracks Last 50 Targets to Edge Out Shelton for Honors He ‘Won Five Years Ago. BREAKING the last 50 targets to nose out H. H. Shelton by one, Dr. A. V. Parsons came back after a lapse of five years to win the distance handicap championship of the Wash- Gun Club yesterday with a score of 92 out of 100. In 1927 Dr. Parsons won the same event with a score of 89. Shelton’s 91 won second place and Walter S. Wilson won third with 89. After the club championship race, five visitors were led by Mr. Dietz in & 30-target match, the winner scoring 38 out of 50. The club’s 16-yard championship, originally scheduled for next Saturday, has been post- poned until September 21, due to the conflict with the Westy Hogan tour- nament at Atlantic City, which a number of Washington shooters plan to attend. Yesterday’s scores: Y. 86 21 Bingham Visitors' Match (50 Targets) Deadmon - PITTS GRID INCLINED OSSINING, N. Y., September 7 (#)—Alabama Pitts probably will accept & professional foot ball job this Fall. After & conference with the former Sing Sing Prison athlete, Warden Lewis E. Lawes indicated Pitts would turn down vaudeville and industrial offers in favor of foot ball. Irish Carroll, fleet Catholic U. pracnce scrimmage at Callege Park back, does a bit of gaining in the yesterday. A couple of Old Liners finally got him. There was a lot of action in the two-hour session in which the Brooklanders showed to gr eat advantage. —Star Staff Photo. FIRST TEAM HARD FOR TERP SOPHS Wolfe, a Guard, Rates Best| Chance to Crash, Tough Line-up of Vets. It is going to be mighty tough for a sophomcre to break into the Univer- sity of Maryland foot ball line-up this Fall. This was forecast before the squad gatnered at College Park and it was confirmed after a week of practice, mainly indoors in Ritchie Coliseum. | Starting at 34, the squad grew to | 40-0dd during the opening week. | Bill Wolfe, sophomore guard, ap- pears to be the newcomer to the | varsity who has the best chance of | | breaking into the first eleven, and he must beat out Al Farrell, a senior who won his letter in 1933 and just missed repeating last season. Mike Surgent, an end: Frank De Armey, & full back converted into .1 center; Bob Walton, another pivot | man. and Fred Thomas, Waverly | Wheeler and Bill Bryant, wingbacks, | | are other sophs who may deliver to | the extent of being high-class reserves | | in thetr first varsity season. Lacking in Experience. | FHOWEVER, Thomas, Wheeler and Walton never played high school foot ball, ¢ad Surgent had only one | season in the game as a scholastic performer. | But it is the seniors and juniors who | will carry the burden for the Old| Liners, with a tentative first team shaping up something like this: Louis Ennis, Vic Willis and Bernie Buscher, ends; John Birkland, Brooks Bradley, Carl Stalfort and Charlie | Callahan, tackles; Ed Minion, Farrell and Wolfe, guards; Bill Andorka, cen- ter; Charlie Ellnger and Coleman Headley, quarter: Bill Guckeyson and Buddy Yaeger, left halfbacks; George | sachs and Jack Stonebraker, right | halfbacks, and Joraa Gormley and Ed Daly, fullbacks. All were letter men last Fall, except | | Farrell and Wolfe. Buscher, Stalfort, | Callahan, Minion, Farrell, Yaeger and | Ennis are seniors, and all the others .nre juniors, excepting Wolfe. | Ed Fletcher and Charlie Zulick, junior guards, also should _see much action. 1t is highly essential that a couple of the soph wingbacks come through for Maryland to be in a position to combat its tough 10-game card. GENERALS PICK BACKS Bailey, Sample, Arnold | Due to Be Regular Quartet. NIMROD HALL, Va., September 7 (#).—Washington and Lee’s Generals, winners of the Virginia and Southern Conference championships last year, are busy training here. Foot ball dopesters who watched the Generals’ stretch their muscles in the first workout expressed the belief | ‘Washington and Lee’s backfield would | line up something like this: Jack Bailey, captain, fullback; Pres- ton Moore and Wilton Sample, half- backs, and Joe Arnold, quarter. . TICKETS FOR CAVALIERS. UNIVERSITY, Va. September 7.— Three thousand tickets to the Vir- ginia-William and Mary foot ball game, which will dedicate the new stadium in Williamsburg on Septem- ber 21, have been set aside for Cava- | lier supporters, students, alumni and friends. C. U. Coaches to Moore, DVANCED as far as any foot ball team could possibly be in regard to signal drills at this stage of the training, Coach Dutch Bergman will give strenuous work to his Catholic University punt- ing brigade this week. Heretofore the punting practice has been begun with the start of grid practice. But not so this year. Rain has put a stop to the booting, the first turn at kicking the pigskin being brought into yesterday’s scrimmage with Maryland. Feel Oliver's Loss. Loss of Tommy Oliver, who devel- | last season into the greatest | kicking star the Brookland outfit ever has had, is a blow to the chances of the Cards. Throughout the season the Florida fullback punted consist- ently and his average was approxi- mately 55 yards. In the Western Maryland game last season he got off a beauty that traveled 84 yards to set a new intercollegiate record. Joe Glodeck and Bob Makofske are veteran members of the team who took a hand at punting last season.

V.P. . PLANNING FLASHY OFFENGE Dickerson Ace of Backfield. Husky and Capable Line Is Prospect. By the Assoclated Press. LACKSBURG, Va. September 7—Virginia Tech will dress its foot ball squad this Fall in the traditional maroon of 40 years ago, but there’ll be noth- ing old-fashioned about the attack. Apparently they meant it when Tech’s alumni coaches, Henry Redd, Monk Younger and Tex Tilson, prom- ised a more versatile, trickier attack. The Tech lads are doing things that Gobbler gridmen never did before. The running attack still is the chief stock in trade. But there’ll be lots of trappings to trip the unwary. Dckerson Great Kicker. BIG Herman (Foots) Dickerson, full- back, looms as the prde of an untried backfield that should be fast and smart enough for good ball toting and capable defense. George Sodaro, stocky 175-pounder, is working well at quarterback, and Mel Henry, 180-pound ace up from an undefeated freshman outfit, is showing well at halfback. Big things are expected of Wilson Brown, who will replace Tech's great blocking back, George Smith. The backs will have a stout line in front of them. Line Coach Tex Til- |son can show a pair of 200-pound tackle combinations and another quartet of 200 pounders at guard. Mac Banks and Ben Dodge are re- turning at tackle and Leo Vecellio and Davis Rcbison are big boys stepping up. Graduation took three veteran guards, but Bud Ingles, Joe Barnett and Bill Bradshaw are big, promising candidates. Pair of Good Centers. VmAN DAVE JONES and Ruf- ner Murray, big sophomore, will Capt.

NEW ORLEANS, September 7.—Tu- lane foot ball fans, who are wont to recall deeds of Jerry Dalrymple and Lofty Haynes, may have a new hero this year to replace those great ends of the past. There’s every indication that Fred- erick Preisser will be a great wing- man. He has the speed, daring, co- ordination and determination to reach the heights. Spend Much Time This Week With Kickers fullback last Spring he also entered the kicking “lepartment. Fresh from the frosh of last year have come Speck Foley, the former Tech High lad, who won the plaudits of the scholastic fans by his excellent kicking several seasons ago; Carroll, who may turn out to be & fair punter, and Dixle Walker, with quick kicking his specialty. Makofske Now Leader. PERHAPS the best of the crew is Makofske. Or at least he should be, when he gets into playing condi- tion. Right now the big fullback is 12 pounds underweight. Joe' Glodeck showed up well in Spring drills, kicking more consist- ently than any of his mates. How- ever, he still has to improve to be on & par with Makofske. Shaughnessy may develop by the start of the campaign. Erratic at times, he should be able to get his 200 pounds of heft behind the oval to give it a ride for many a yard. Berg- man believes the Shag has the mak- ings. Foley was absent the greater part of the Spring drills, due to a fes- and has lost a great deal his booting the luster that marked SEMF-SCRIMMAGE ON NAVY GRIDIRON Five Groups Given Trying Drill, With Hamilton Directing First. Special Dispatch to The Star. —Naval Academy foot ball, on the third day of its practice this season, took another big forward step when Head Coach Tom Hamilton gave the orders for a stiff semi-scrimmage during the afternoon session, the second of the day. The squad was divided into five groups, each under its coaches, Ham- ilton, directing the practice of the de- tachment which contained most of the first-string prospects, such as Capt. Robert Shaw at center, and Dick Pratt and Tommy King, the veterans of the backfield. The whole gamut of foot ball was carried through, including carrying formations, passing and defense against passes and getting down under punts, and considerable advance was indicated considering the early period of the practice season. The first casualty of the season was | that of Bill Bringle, an end prospect, | who wrenched the old knee that gave | him trouble last year. It is thought | that he will not be kept out of the game long. Practice was attended by several happenings not on the program, and Medical Corps. First, Corpsman Beverly Boyd was hit in the back of the neck by a place-kicked ball and Snyder, veteran trainer. was hit on ‘the side of the head and somewhat dazed.

T Wants Men to Clear Path for Ball Carriers—Has None Experienced. 1 Dispateh to The St AMP LETTS, Md, September 7.—~With prospects of a speed- ier backfield, something lack- ing in 1934, Washing- ton University’s foot oaches now hope to uncover a pair of fleet guards who can pull out of the line to run interference without slowing up the ball carriers. Line Coach Len Walsh today stated the guard material at hand offers promise of filling the bill, although as yet it hasn't been tested thorough- ly. So far there have been two scrim- mages since the Colonials opened training a week ago, and at least five or six more body-contact workouts will be required to afford a definite line on who's who. At present there isn't a single ex- perienced guard in the squad, what with Sid Kolker and Hollis Harrison, both letter men, having been switched to tackle positions, in which G. W., numerically at least, is the weakest. Kolker earned his letter playing guard the last two years, while Harrison, who was out of school last season, made the grade in 1933, Sophomores Show Stuff, HOWEVER Walsh has been im- pressed with the ability of Tim Stapleton, Ted Cottingham and Her- man Fine, all sophomores, who seem to possess the necessary speed, and he belleves two or three others finally will produce. There is a possibility, too, that some of the large group of backs on hand will be tried at guard, for they are known to be able to run interference from backfield positions acceptably. One of these prospects is Andy Horne, chunky Clinton, Mass., sophomere, who displayed in yester- day’s scrimmage not only speed, but a vicious blocking proficiency. Speaking of speed, Walsh corrected a misconception of the word as it ap- plies to guards. The speed of e guard, he said, does not mean necessarily speed afoot or fast straightaway run- | ning. In reality it is quick starting and quick cutting either for the hole One whose chief asset is sheer speed |in straightaway running (the 10- | second man) still has to start and cut | llke a flash before qualifying. Lefty Johnson Crippled. duty this season—Lefty Johnson, 175- pound sophomore from Perth Amboy, N. J—may noi see any action at all because of a broken ankle which he \suflered while playing base ball about | six weeks ago. Thus fer Johnson, whose amazingly fast start enabled | him to steal 13 bases in 12 games last Spring, hasn't been able to walk without the aid of & cane. Training camp casualties increased to three today when Frank Kavalier | and Ben Plotnicki, both experienced | backs, joined Hollis Harrison on the sidelines. Kavalier sustained a se- vere shoulder injury that required hospital treatment in Washington and Plotnicki developed boils. Harrison is nursing an injured leg and hand. - The injuries did not dampen the enthusiasm of the squad. Varsity and freshmen again went at each other with all the abandon of wild bulls. LIST MARYLAND FROSH Cavalier Yearlings to Play Five Foot Ball Teams. UNIVERSITY, Va. September 7.— Five games have been listed for the Virginia first-year eleven.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., September 7.— John Dorohue, St. John's best all- sround athlete of recent years, who graduated last June, has been added to the coaching staff with a year- around job, being head coach of la- crosse in place of Dinty Moore, who will coach the Navy team, and assist- ant in foot ball and basket ball. Donchue played all these games at St. John's. He was picked for the all- college team of lacrosse, which toured Canada during the Summer, was cen- ter on the eleven and a guard on the five. He is also one of the best amateur pitchers in Maryland, but did not play this game at 8t. John's, on account of lacrosse. 4 | From recent performance, John Hyson, | Conference Honors. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS HICAGO, September 7.—Out on the Pacific Coast it ap- pears that Stanford Uni- versity may find some diffi- culty in winning a third consecutive foot ball championship. The Indians have nine regulars from the 193¢ team back in harness and a good number of promising sophomores and reserves. But in its conference cam- paign, Stanford will face more rugged opposition than in either 1933 or 1934. ‘Washington, with a complete line- up of veterans and a host of capable newcomers, will be one of the tough- est teams on the Coast to beat. Particularly for Stanford, since the Indians play the Huskies in Seattle and never are at their best on the waterlogged flelds of the Northwest. Reports from Los Angeles are that Bill Spaulding has a great crew com- ing up at U. C. L. A. and may make it tough for every opponent. Cali- fornia had one of the best fresh- man teams in its history last year, and Stub Allison, the Bears’ new coach, may turn out a winner. Wash- ington State promises td be very good | and Southern California will be great- ly improved over last year. Stan- ford may win, but it will face a harder campaign than last year, when California was the only conference foe even to press the Cardinals. Paulman Kicks and Passes. STANPORD comes up with a good kicker and passer this vear, some- thing it lacked against Alabama in the Rose Bowl game last Winter. The K. & P. man is Bill Paulman, a big sophomore who shone in both specialties as a yearling. If Paul- man satisfies Tiny Thornhill with his generalship and running, “Bones” Hamilton will be moved from right to left half back and Frank Alustiza will be shifted from quarter to right half. With Bobby Grayson at full- back, this combination should give Stanford its best backfield in many years, for Hamilton is a grand run- ner, whose abilities were partially re- D. | stricted when he was at right half. On the line Stanford must replace Claude Calloway, the giant tackle, who will not be in school this season. That is the only line replacement ‘Thornhill will be obliged to make. Moscrip and Topping will again guard the ends and, as a pair, they should be just about the best of the season. | n“Bob Reynolds will be at left tackle, | with Rouble, Adams and Black to fill the guard slots. Wes Muller and Alf Brandin will take care of center and there is a chance that Brandin may work his way to a regular. Right tackle probably will be occupied by | Dale Beedle, captain of the 1933 fresh- men team, who was missing last year. There are nine other lettermen on the squad, and when the reserves and sophomores are counted, Thornhill will have a team which should be strong in every position. Huskies Also Strong. REAT as Stanford's backfield will be, Washington nearly can match it in speed and power. The Huskies will have Elmer Logg, the best punter on the coast, at quarterback; Cain and Haines at the halves and Nowog- roski at fullback. Backing up that quartet will be four sophomores—Bond, Waskowitz, Rulis and Austin—so Jim- my Phelan will have few, if any, wor- Ties concerning backs. Haines is rat- ed as the best Washington back since “Wildeat” Wilson and is a southpaw passer and kicker. The Huskies will have a great first line, but may be a bit short on replacements, although some of the sophomore forwards showed great promise in Spring prac- |;iece This may be Jimmy Phelan's ar. California’s main loss by graduation was Arleigh Williams, but, out of the sophomore brigade, a capable succes- sor may be recruited. Hampton Pool, 8 200-pound sophomore fullback, has moved on to West Point, and, since the youngster also was a sprinter, his departure takes quite a punch from the Bears' backfield. Bob Herwig will be the only sophomore starter in the California line, and at Berkeley he is rated as one of the greatest cen- ter prospects ever seen on the Pacific slope, Sophomores Get Chances. HOWARD JONES will give several sophomores first call on starting positions, and, if they deliver, the Trojan will regain some of his former power. Much is expected of Glenn Thompson, a quarterback; Williams, Gaisford and Bottinger, ends, and Brosseau, Roberts and Moore, guards. Material is better than usual at U, C. L. A. and much is being said for Fred Funk, a 215-pound halfback, who also passes and kicks; Ted Key, a fullback, and Mike Murphy, a 185- pound quarterback. Chuck Cheshire, the veteran left half, is one of the best on the Coast. With three 200-pound backs in reserve, the Uclans will pack plenty of power. The line will be veteran, and, with & more divers; attack, on which Spaulding worked in Spring practice, the Little Bears should be well up in the conference race. Little is expected from the other conference teams, but there will be plenty of scrapping among the first five. Outside the Pacific Conference, St. Mary's will be stronger than last year and “Slip” Madigan will again have a team averaging more than 200 pounds. Santa Clara also is on the upgrade and San Francisco has grown in foot ball power to the point where it is & good match for any rival. ARMSTRONG SQUAD BIG More Than 50 Report—Chances of Keeping Title Bright. Over 50 candidates are expected to report for the first practice of the Armstrong High foot ball team, de- fending champions of the South At- lantic Conference, when Coach Edgar Westmoreland blows the whistle at Walker Stadium tomorrow. Although four backs and three linemen were lost by graduation, Westmoreland is optimistic of his team’s chances of re- peating their success in the conference. Joseph Hall, all-city tackle, is the captain of the team, which will play its first conference game against Bates High at Annapolis on September 28.
