SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1935. SPORTS. Kavm ¢ Marshall, Carroll, Tihila, All Hefties, Struggle for Vacant Post. Special Dispatch to The Star. AMP LETTS, Md., September 12—The first severe blow dealt the George Washington University gridiron forces came today with a medical report that Fullback Frank Kavalier is unfit physically for the forthcoming cam- paign. Examination of an injury to his shoulder disclosed a bad cartilage in- Jury which will require a long time to heal, and, advised that any attempt to resume foot ball this season might permanently injure him, Kavalier de- cided to drop from the rolls and re- turn to his home, in East St. Louis, Ill. The most colorful player on the squal from a personal standpoint, Kavalier will be greatly missed by his team mates, but equally hard to take will be his loss with respect to real | foot ball ability. Made Good Quickly. 'OMING up from the freshmen & | year ago, this peppery Bohemian | youth immediately crashed the varsity | line-up. His hustle, nerve and stam- ina combined with an excellent brand | of blocking and line smashing quickly | earned him a post in the young back- | field G. W. produced in 1934. Tried first at quarterback, Frank | later was switched to his normal full- back position, where he starred from the Louisiana State game in mid- season until the wind-up with Okla~ | homa. In the L. S. U. contest he led | a second period drive that proved the Colonials’ most effective performance | of the afternoon, and in the subsequent | ‘West Virginia, North Dakota and Oklahoma games the sturdy Illinois boy more than held his own on both offense and defense. Veterans Given Rest. LEARNING the sad news about Kav- alier, Backfield Coach Bill Rein- hart immediately set about the task of finding his successor. Available candidates for the fullback berth are Ross Marshall of the 1934 frosh and | Lou Carroll and Howard “Nig"” Tihila, both junior college transfers. Mar- shall and Tihila both tip the Fair- banks at 200 pounds, while Carroll re- sembles Kavalier in build, weighing in the neighborhood of 180. The varsity veterans were held out of scrimmage yesterday, what with Capt. Harry Deming and Red Rath- Jen nursing injuries in addition to Kavalier. This gave the 1934 reserves and new sophomores more time to show what they can do, Head Coach Jim Pixlee keeping things moving until after the sun started dipping beyond the horizon. — e | | | Borries’ ‘Successor’ Shows Prowess in Scrimmage.

By the Associated Press. APE HENRY, Va, Septem- ber 12.—Paradoxically, Gus Tebell, who started the train- ing season asking all and sundry how in the world he'd ever find any backs for his Virginia foot ball team, now is worried principally about line replacements. While the ball carriers developed | surprisingly, glaring gaps appeared in the line which Tebell had expected to | be a pretty good forewall. He can't| find a center and furthermore there is a paucity of capable tackles. Leonard Trell, a first-class tackle last season, has just reported, while Billy Weeks, sophomore star, has been taken down by a severe case of poison oak. Ed Andrews, veteran of two cam- paigns, who always has had a yen for the stage, has received a Broadway offer which he has accepted. Haskell Ineligible. TO ADD further grief, Sanford Haskell failed to make up aca- demic deficiencies. And so he's grooming Fred Cramer, Southern Conference heavyweight boxing champion; Billy Banks and a few other lads for the tackle posi- tions. Tebell has a batch of youngsters working hard for the job at center, but none of them suits his fancy. ‘There should be no worries at the ends with Capt. John Leys, one of the best in the conference; Cullen ‘Wilkin, conference high-jump cham- pion, and Wier Tucker eligible. Guare talent also includes three capable “V” men, George Siebels, Al Seccombe and Peyton Hoge. In the backfield Harry Martin, 19338 star who was cut down last year by an automobile accident, looks better than ever. He has gained in weight, but apparently has lost none of his' speed. He can pass and he can kick. Probable Backfield. ITH Martin at fullback Tebell probably will fashion his back- fleld from “Bus” Male at quarterback and A. B. Connor and Conrad Ring at the halfbacks. Male, out of the line-up a season ago with a bad shoulder, is running well in practice, while Connor, a star of last year's ‘Thanksgiving game with North Caro- lina, apparently is hitting his stride. Ring, a freshman guard last yu: probably will be used as In addition Tebell has a fair n'wp of reserve ball carriers.

A 10° QUALITY (16AR IMPORTED | LONG FILLER ISTFF SCHEDULE WORRIES YOUNG [Looks for Better Line, End Play and Punting—Cards Again Outdo Terps. BY ROD THOMAS. MERICAN UNIVERSITY is putting & stronger foot ball team in the field this season than its last, but the Eagles are up against a stiffer schedule, so ‘Walter Young, their popular young coach, is not all smiles. “We aren't expecting too much, although the line,” said Young today, “will be improved greatly. The team weight probably will be about 15 pounds heavier per man. Last year's average of 156 will he hiked up to about 167, I'd say.” The biggest Eagle is Harold Yackel, e newcomer, who weighs 210 pounds. Yackel played a lot of tackle at Petty Prep School in New Jersey. “We are well off for ends and tackles,” said Young, who expects Kimber Shoop of Shamokin, Pa., and Peter Sitnik of Hicksville, Long receivers., footers. They are rugged six- Has Passers, Too.

He and ‘Walter Dick, who gained some experi- ence last year, probably will be our | best ground gainers.” Joseph Carlo, from Jersey Shore, Pa. a 175-pounder, is assured of re- | taining his regular post at tackle, and | in the other tackle will be the 210- pound Yackel. Samuel Maize, from Jersey Shore, a newcomer, is the leading center, with | Tom Parks, senior, in reserve. Parks injured & knee in scrimmage yester- day and will be out probably for a fortnight.

(CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY again had the better of Maryland in a lengthy -scrimmage at College Park, particularly on offense, but the Old Liners showed great improvement on defense over their last meeting with the Cardinals. C. U. used a more varied attack than the Old Liners, who are not 5o well advanced in this respect. In fact, the Terps used only a few single wing-back plays, causing newspaper men from Washington, Baltimore and New York to ask what had become of Maryland’s familiar and effective double wing -back flashes, spinners and reverses. The Cards’ first team showed lots of power and the second bunch proved that C. U. won't want for re- serve strength. Maryland really has not picked its men for the tentative first-string as- signments and probably won't until | after another setto with the Cardinals. Starting next Monday things will take | on a more definite shape at College | Park. Bill Guckeyson of Maryland gave | a great exhibition of kicking yester- day and Bob Makofske of C. U. showed he is one of the hardest backs | in these parts to pull down. D. C. Boys Doing Well 'OR the first time in many years Georgetown may present a couple of starting players from Washington. Fred Tehaan, who attended West- ern High, and Bob Hogan, who shone at Gonzaga, are making strong bids ror regular places, Tehaan at guard | and Hogan at tackle. Tehaan seems to have the better opportunity, what with Al Vaccaro and Cy Cummings, regulars last season, battling to stave off Hogan's rush. In yesterday's practice Sophomore Bob Nolan surprised with a brilliant | all-around performance in the back- | fleld. He came to Georgetown heralded as a kicker, but yesterday | he showed he could do about any- | thing to be asked of a back. The first meeting of the season of the District Foot Ball Officials’ Asso- | ciation will be held Monday at 8 p.m. at 1106 Vermont avenue northwest. The association will meet every Mon- day night through the season. PITTS TO BE PRO GRIDDER. PHILADELPHIA, September 12 ().
