s ABIS ALLROUND END PERFORMER {l’errapms May Bear Down Harder in Next Drill With Cardinals. BY ROD THOMAS. HEY rejoice one day and moan | the next, those George Wash-l ington foot ball coaches duwn} at Camp Letts. Ab Wright, the prize find of the Colonials’ 1931‘ squad, for a time was thought lost | to the present outfit, but elated Jim | Pixlee and his staff by quitting a| Government job and reporting for | grid service. He was to have his first | workout today. \ But there's still a bug in Pixlee's ‘ egoup. Dale Prather, the smashing| tackle, who was operated upon some- | time ago for appendicitis, is not rounding into shape as it was judged he might and probably won't be avail- | able for the Emory and Henry and Alabama games. And the Colonials | are not burdened with tackle mate- Tial | Wright, an end, developed so rapidly under the tutelage of ‘Line Coach Len Walsh last season that he ousted the veteran, Arnold Benefield, from the starting line-up midway the cam- paign Wright a “Mean” Guy. S A defensive and offensive flank- man, Wright has few superiors | in this section. He has speed and aggressiveness, in addition to me- chanical proficiency, being what the boys call “mean” when the battle thickens. He likes foot ball best | when the pressure is on and his ability to stand out at crucial times | last season stamped him as the best | end prospect to come to G. W. in ® long time. | With Wright apparently ready to resume his duties at right end, Coach Walsh will turn his attention to plugging the hole at left end by lhel graduation of Bill Parrish. At pres- | ent the job seems to be in the hands of Hank Vonder Bruegge, a senior who lettered both last year and in| 1933, but Walsh also is considering geveral sophomores, notably Leon Morris, Deverne Liddicoat and Tommy | O'Brie O'Brien never played foot ball until last September. Yesterday's lengthy workout at Yetts was featured by improved exe- cution of the Colonials' new shift. ‘The players like the innovation de- vised by Head Coach Pixlee and his new backfield aide. Bill Reinhart. Leemans Likes Shift. fTUFFY LEEMANS, star ball lugger, | declares the shift will go a long way toward putting over the Colonials | in the strenuous campaign impending. Yesterday morning was given over to religious services, mass for the 50 Catholics in the squad being held in the camp mess hall, while services in Annapolis drew those of other faiths. Frank Kavalier, fullback, is hack‘ in camp after having an injured | shoulder treated in Washington, but | won't be able to toil probably for sev- eral weeks. Catholic University is looking for- ward to more scrimmaging with Mary- land, but in their next encounter with the Terrapins the Cardinals likely won't find the going so easy. It was all in practice, of course. when the Red Birds scored four touchdowns to none for the Old Liners the other day, but it seemed to have aroused the eompetitive spirit of the gang at Col- lege Park. Maybe Coach Faber will permit the Terps to .use another play or two. | | | Terp Packs Hefty. ARYLAND is presenting a hefty backfleld this season. Jack Stone- braker, at 151, is the only light man among the eight who figure to do the ‘Terps’ ball carrying. Five of the others scale between 183 and 188, giving the group an average poundage of 179. Catholic University will play two night games, one with Duquesne at| Pittsburgh October 11, and the other | at Griffith Stadium October 26 with Bt. Mary's of Texas. Late to get started, the George- town squad is out to make up for lnst' time and Coach Hagerty will have| the Hoyas on their toes throughout | the week, with their first scrimmage due along about Friday. Hagerty was | forced by a shortage of material to| go lightly on scrimmage last season. | He couldn’t afford to bung up what | few dependables there were, but this time he's a lot better fixed in man- power and there will be a heap of bat- tling for every job on the Hoya team. | Minor Leagues INTERNATIONAL. 8; Toronto.

Fourth place, too, went to a large| working dog, the Doberman Pinscher, which increased 61 per cent.

Few things are more dangerous to the health of the dog than dampness. It causes rheuma- diarrhea and many other ills. In puppies it is con- ducive to distemper. Heat is not necessary for most breeds of dogs. A dry, draft-free sleeping place is. In wet weather it is advisable to change your dog’s bedding daily, as he uses his bed to dry himself as well as to sleep on. Portable dog kennels should be set up on rocks or cement blocks to allow the free circulation of air under the house. They should, if possible, have a double floor. IN MOST varieties of live stock shows, the blue ribbon is the highest award. This is not so at the dog show. In it, a blue ribbon indicates first place in a class. When all the classes | in a breed have been judged, the blue in the winners' class. Here a purple ribbon is awarded to the best in the class and a purple and white one for second best or reserve. The male and female purple ribbon winners meet to decide which will win the blue and white best of winners’ ribbon, and the victor in this class meets any lurking champions that are the best of breed, which is awarded & purple and gold rosette, |V Holders of best-of-breed ribbons meet in the varjety groups and the winners of the six variety groups meet for best-in-show.

APE HENRY, Va, September 9.—Problems of the line are causing Gus Tebell, Virginia's head coach of foot ball, more worry than are those of the backfield in drills at Camp Hunt. This is just the reverse of what he expected. Lack of a first-rate center is caus- ing the most trouble. Both veteran middle men, Horace Hallett and Colin Montgomery, have ended their careers. George Coen, center understudy last year, and Frank Mead, freshman re- serve, both are good passers and are trying hard to make the grade. ing trouble.
