A—13 Surgent of Terps Seen as Great Gridder, But in What Position Is Puzzle Recruits to Make Debut for Griffs in Twin Bill Tomorrow Leemans Proves Fastest| Man on G. W. Squad in Camp Letts Races. BY ROD THOMAS. . ACK FABER, Frank Dodson nnd‘» Leroy Mackert, coachés of the University of Maryland grid-| ders, are in the singular spot of not knowing what to do with a po- tentially great foot ball player. His name is Mike Surgent. Like a lot of other boys who turn out for foot ball at College Park, Mike had next to no experience in the game until he came to Maryland. He's 19 years old, weighs 190 and stands 5 feet 11. He's built for any position on the team, but it's not his size nor his mechanical ability that have caused the coaches to appraise him as l superfine prospect. It's his “heart. "Surnm ” said Dodson, an old- | timer who has brought many a grid- iron star to the front, “has everything it takes (o make a great foot ball | player.” They want him on the team, but | Just where to put him has the coaches puzzled. They are trying him now in | various forward positions. Blair Smith Gets Going. NOTHER greenie who is getting along rapidly at College Park is Blair Smith, an end, the son of| Prank Smith, publisher of the Prirce | Georgian. Blair couldn’t gain a reg- | ular berth while playing foot ball at Tech High, but somebody will have to hustle to keep him off Maryland’s. | He's & 175-pounder and fast, partic- ularly skilled in catching passes and like Surgent, is an up-and-at-am Both Surgent and Smith had ex- | tremely active parts in yesterday's | scrimmage, but the standouts were | Vie Willis, end, and Bill Guckeyson, | Coleman Headley and Stoney Stone- | breaker, backs. The “A” team scored | two touchdowns on thr “B" eleven, | the former containing more recog- | nized regulars. Maryland seems sure to have =2 erack first team, but it can lose a| couple of key men and become mediocre. Today the Terrapins were to scrim- mage for a third time with Catholic University and after yesterday's four{ 10-minute periods of hard-fought foot | ball it wouldn't be surprising if the Cards gave 'em another shellacking. In each of the two other practice games C. U. crossed the goal four times. Maryland, however, used much fewer plays. Due perhaps to a lengthy | Bpring practice period, the Cardinals | are ready now to go into real action ‘They figure to get lots of it in their opening game, with La Salle, two | weeks hence. La Salle held the Cards last year to a 6-6 tie. | Leemans Refutes Critics. EXPDODING a belief common among George Washington observers that ‘Tuffy Leemans is not particularly fast | afoot, the Colonial back yesterday | proved himself the fastest runner on | the squad. Leemans outsprinted 50 | teammates in a series of dashes over the somewhat lumpy turf at Cnmp\ Letts. He finished 3 yards in front of the second man, Lee Fenlon, a brother of | another G. W. grid hero, Johnny Fen- | lon. A step behind Lee came Lnu! Carroll, prospective varsity fullback. Joey Kaufman, who has been hailed as | & speed specialist, was fourth and Floyd Newberry, sophomore back, was | arth. Leemans first outran a large group | of backfield candidates and finally | took honors in competition with lead- | ers of the various other position groups. Tufty represented the quarterbacks. | Fastest of the husky linemen was Deverne Liddicoat, 6-foot-4 end, who was second to Leon Morris, also an| end, in the preliminaries. Dick PaIm~ atary, Hollywood, Calif., sophomore, | sped home ahead in the tackle group and Morris Carlson, sophomore, led the guards. The fastest center was Frank Lee, a junior and brother of John Lee, assistant varsity coach. Ever since his start at George Wash- ington, Leemans has matched or ex- celled the performances of other Colonials. Facing his third and final season with prospects of All-America honors, Tuffy has shown in camp, to | the satisfaction of Head Coach Jim | Pixlee, that he is improved over last | year, during which he impressed all | critics. Hoyas Stage Battle. ‘'OACH JACK HAGERTY at) Georgetown planned to let up on | the Hoyas today but will lay it on tomorrow when the squad will be| divided into “A” and “B” teams and ordered to go to it to find out who among a flock of ambitious sopho- | mores really can play foot ball. Here's how the Hoyas will pair off: Team “A”—Al Snyder and Dave | Noonan, ends; Al Vaccaro and Cy Cummings, tackles; Lew Shuker and Pred Tehaan, guards; Lew Hardy, center; Bob Nolan, quarterback; Bob | Ferrera and Don Gibeau, halfbacks; Bill Duff, fullback, Team “B"—Joe Williams and John Cavadine, ends; Clem Stralka and Mike Petroskey, tackles; John Franks and Mike Fuardo, guards; Henry Leslie, center; Tom Keating, quarter- back; Alex Urbanski and Paul Sheer- an, halfbacks, and Jimmy Dooley, tullback. st SOFT BALLERS CLASH.

Even in this period, however, Hitchcock spurred his mount into ac- tion, poked the ball ito the clear and whaled one through for Greentree's only score of the session. The first semi-final of the tourna- | ment will be played late today on | International Field between Aurora | and the Hurricanes. On Sunday the | Templeton team, open champions, will make the first defense of its title against Greentree. ROSS KNOWS GARCIA CAN HIT WITH RIGHT| | Welter Champion Twice Floored by Filipino, but Comes Back to Take Fight. By the Associated Press. AN FRANCISCO, September N—i Champion Barney Ross of the wel- terweights reflected over a close call| today at the hands of Ceferino Garcia, | the “Dempsey of the Philippines.” Garcia, one of the stiffest punchers | ever sent here from the island, came | within an ace of knocking out the Chicago scrapper last night in a 10- round non-title match. He uncorked a lethal right late in the first session which caught Barney flush on the chin and sent him down. Glassy-eyed, Ross came up without a count. No sooner had he lifted his gloves than Garcia whipped over another chopping right hook which put Ross down a second time, reeling and wide open. Barney didn't go| clear to the canvas after the second! blow, but he was helpless and still | | coming up when the bell sounded. | The intermission freshened Ross, | and he came back madly in the sec- | ond heat, lashing lefts and rights | | a shade in the third, mainly be- cause he put home another right to Ross’ jaw. After that Ross' infighting piled up & substantial lead in the eyes "of Referee Joe Gorman, who unhesi- tatingly raised the champion’s hand | at the end. The crowd of 8,000 received the de- cision with mingled cheers and boos. Ross weighed 142, Garcia, 14814, Sports Mirror By the Associated Press.

PECULATOR, N. Y., September 14—It's Max Baer sounding off a bit: “F never cared much for that championship. I was happy when I won it and a little sad when I lost it, but it didn't make much difference either way.” He was sitting in front of a log fire in his cabin. With him sat a group of sports writers, also driven to the warmth of the fire by the rain that beat down outside. They had brought ominous reports from the lair of the Brown Bomber. “I was plenty surprised by the numbef of people who once greeted me ax though I was a long-lost brother who suddenly became ‘Hello Max' guys after Braddock won the title. “Whoever gets Max Baer after he's become champion again is going to| pay for the privilege. That's why I'm| going to knock out Joe Louis. That's why I'm going to knock out Jim Braddock and that's why I'm going to flatten anybody else who thinks he’s world champion for many years to come. I'm going to make a lot of money. I need it.

EW YORK, September 14— ‘Women's track records seemed fragile today as Helen Ste- phens, tall Fulton, Mo., farm prepared to see what could be done about breaking them. The 17-year-old girl, who has been making a habit of shattering world and American marks, was the heavy | favorite to carry off the 100 and 200 meter dashes of the women's national | championships at Ohio Field. She is limited under the rules to three events, only two of which may be track events. Otherwise she would be fa- vored to carry off almost any other event she would choose to enter. For her field- event she has chosen the discus throw. In the indoor championships last March, the girl who once disclaimed she had ever heard of Stella Walsh, the Polish girl who holds the 100 and 200 meters record, won the 50-yard | dash, shotput and broad jump.

Four of the loop’s strongest—Mary- land, North Carolina, Washington and Lee and N. C.

The Apprentices had it all their own way most of the game. HAT trial “work-out” by Bob Considine & week ago must have proved satisfactory to the former District . tennis champion, for he is entered in the first annual District playground tour- nament, which starts this afternoon on the Potomac Park courts and was to inaugurate proceedings by playing the first match at 1 pm. Jack Latimer, who himself by going to the finals of the Embassy doubles tournament with Don Bent, was to be Considine’s first- round foe. One new injection into the cus- tomary rankings was revealed with the seedings, which show Edward “Red” Mather as the No. 8 player. The fiery red-head, who created such & disturbance by upsetting Ralph Mc- Elvenny in the Federal Employes’ tournament, will play as a seeded per- former in & local tournament for the first time. You know the rest of them in order —Welsh, Mitchell, Latorfa, McElvenny, Markey, Lynch and Willis. The entry list of 72 is an unusually high en- roliment for & Fall net tournament here.

March of Burroughs were to meet Willie L} O'Steen and Billy Contreras of Vir- ginia avenue for the mixed doubles championship of the playgrounds this morning on the Chevy Chase courts.
