. SOPHOMORE BACK | 15 TRIPLE THREAT G. W. Warned Against Wasps—Stalfort Irrepres- sible Maryland Tackle. BY ROD THOMAS. ATCH for the name of \ N ’ Irish Carroll to pop out often in accounts of Catho- lic University's foot ball battles this Fall, the first to be fought next week with La Salle. Unless grid reporters who saw the four C. U.-Maryland scrimmages are guessing wrong, Carroll will be the sophomore backfield sensation of the season in District college ranks. There was nothing any back on either team could do, it appeared, that Carroll couldn't duplicate or come close to it. He might have been shaded in some respects by Maryland's versatile Bill Guckeyson. Jimmy Lyons, former Cardinal star, after viewing one of the scrimmages, declared Carroll was the best C. U. ball carrier or would become the best since Tommy Whelan, and that's sump'n. Munhall Steps Out, Too. NOTHER sophomore who likely will see lots of action in the Card backfield is Charlev Munhall. Foot ball scouts wonder how Pitts- | burgh come to permit Munhall to slip from bailiwick. He appeared to be a sure-fire prospect for college stardom while playing at a Smoky City high school. C, U, by the way, is selling season | tickets for foot ball, boxing and basket | ball. For $5.50 one may see all the | Cards' home attractions in these sports. The tickets are on sale at 8palding's, Gude's Flower Shop and | Henderson's Cigar Store, as well as the | C. U. athletic office. Georgetown may have difficulties | when it comes to line replacements, | but it isn't likely to want for capable | flankmen. Last year it was weakest on the ends. This time it has nine | men out for the position. They are| Tony Barabas, Ed Bodine, Johnny | Cavadine, Dick Healy, Johnny Frank, ob Martin, Dave Noonan, Al Sayder | and Bill Williams, Walsh Warns Colonials. FEORGE WASHINGTON'S gridders were to gather today in the Co- | lonial gym to receive a warning| against the Emory and Henry team they will meet Friday night in the| season's opener, at Griffith Stadium. PORT Sportlight (Continued From Fifteenth to see just how good Joe Louis really is in the first showdown of impor- tance he has yet faced. It will have the chance to see how good Max Baer can be when he is steamed up to shoot the entire works in a battle that will make or break the colorful entry from Livermore. | Max has asked everyone to “throw !out the Braddock fight.” But you can't throw out a heavyweight cham- pionship, not even if you had the two ‘nght arms belonging to the well- known Deans.

The Summing Up. | I\/IAX BAER'S supporters, and these include more than a few ring- wise experts, are picking the Califor- | nian for these definite reasons: 1. That he is another big Bat Nelson — just as durable as the cast-iron Dane—just as hard to hurt—that when Louis lands his famous left and his jolting right and nothing happens, the Bomber will get discouraged. | 2. That Baer, aroused, can be & | desperate, dangerous fighting man with a right smack that can bring down any one¢ he nails. 4 3. That for the first time in his ring career Baer has put in six weeks of hard training, without breaking a rule that might lead away from top condition. 4. That with his entire ring career at stake, he will hold back nothing he might need for a winning fight. Louis carries the bigger following— who condense their oratory along these logical lines: 1. That Louis is much the better boxer. 2. That he is a more dangerous puncher—shooting with either hand from a shorter range. That his Punching has a big margin in both Choice Battle Is Expected A day, as they learned of the schedul- ing for Friday of a game between the Central years climaxed the season for both schools, will be the first for each and but the late return of Coach Lynn speed and accuracy. 3. That he never has been a day away from condition—the econdi- tion an athlete needs for winning competition. 4. That Baer is fairly wide open —that he is easy to hit—and that he never has been tagged in his career as Louis will tag him. 5. That Baer has only a raw, outside chance of parking that eir- cling right hand on a vulnerable spot. 6. That Louis can “take it” just about as well as Baer. The one foggy spot on the Louis side is this: How well can a 21- year-old fighter, with only 15 months Assistant Coach Len Walsh, who | of professional experience, react to a scouted the Wasps when they knocked | crisis?

A ROUNDABOUT shift in tackles, and the uncertainty that the two men picked for the guard positions ‘will be able to start against St. John's in the opener Saturday at College Park, marked the beginning of the fourth week of practice at the Uni- versity of Maryland. Charlie Callahan, who through the 1934 season as a reserve, chased Carl Stalfort, regular last year, from his job as right tackle as the result of the scrimmages with Cath- olic U, but Stalfort, spurred by the demotion, turned right around and took the job on the left side of the line from John Birkland, who per. formed steadily during the last cam- paign. Now Birkiand is battling to regain his old berth. Ed Minion, veteran ace guard, and Bill Wolfe, soph, tentatively picked as his running mate, neither may be abie to play against the Johnnies. Minion has a bruised shoulder and Wolfe is nursing a bad ankle. In the mean- time, Ed Fletcher, 1934 reserve, and Mike Surgent, another soph, are hold- ing down the assignments. No chauces will be taken with Minion and Sur- gent Saturday, as they will be needed against Virginia Tech in the Terps’ first big game, in the Baltimore Sta- dium on October 5. Buddy Yaeger, a valuable back end 1034 letter man, has been lost for two or three weeks at least with torn ligaments in his shoulder. He is a good all-around performer, being the main understudy to Bill Guckeyson in punting and the best kicker-off on the Maryland squad. He will be greatly missed, especially in view of the shortage of backs being one of the Terps’ main worries. MEMPHIS TIGERS REPEAT.

HE Louls camp, it seems, was not likely to be in any mood for char- acteristic wisecracks from Baer. In advance the Negro's managers said they would seek official action to pre- vent the use of “artificial stimulants” in Baer’s corner. So much talk has been circulated that Baer would resort to “rough- house” tactics from the outset that the commissioners were primed to deliver some solemn warnings. Gray-haired Bill Brown, most out- spoken of the fistic fathers, said yes- terday that the referee would be in- structed to take summary action in the event of foul tactics. It'’s a commission rule, however, that low blows, although automatically grounds for the loss of a round, do not constitute a basis for stopping a fight. So pronounced was the agitation along Tin-Ear Alley last night re- specting Baer’s possible plan of battle that Jack Dempsey said he might reconsider acting as one of the Cali- fornian’s seconds. The general belief was that Dempsey, a stockholder in the Baer combination, would go through with his original plan, but the old “Manassa Mauler” was.described as highly perturbed by the suggestion he would influence Max to employ unfair tactics. Baer’s board of strategy had a ses- sion with Dempsey last night, shortly after the Californian’s arrival by train from his camp at Speculator, N. Y. Louis remained at his quarters in Pompton Lakes, N. J., until this morning. Gates to the Yankee Stadium were to open at 3 p.m. The preliminary bouts, including a semi-final between Max’s brother, Buddy Baer, and Ford Smith, Montana heavyweight, start at 7pm. ‘The main bout, which will be broad- cast over a National Broadcasting Co. hook-up, was set for 9 p.m., Eastern standard time. : | 10 CLASH FRIDAY as Latter Takes Place of Roosevelt Team.

NOWN for years as one of the longer hitters of a golf ball around the Capital. CIiff Spen- K cer, raven-haired Beaver Dam | pro, is reaching toward new heights | this year and rapidly is coming to be regarded as the leading pro golfer of the city. Leader of the Maryland pros in the Maryland State open a few days ago, Spencer today holds the official pro- fessional record for the Washington Golf and Country Club course, carved out yesterday in the heat of a battle fessionals. The tall Beaver Dam pro played the course in 35—32—67, but the best he could do was a tie at that figure with Roger Peacock, In- dian Spring amateur. Roger scored 34 and 33 to immediately be installed as the outstanding favorite to win the District amateur champlonship, scheduled to start at Washington to- morrow. The pros licked the amateurs by 4 points to 3, but the match was in- conclusive. Several of our leading pros were absent, among them Fred McLeod, who couldn't play because of a heavy cold; Wiffy Cox of Ken- wood and Roland MacKenzie of Con- gressional. Among the amateurs, Billv Dettweiler, Parker Nolan and several other top-notchers didn't show up. | But the simon pures made a good battle of it, despite the fast pace set by the pros, for in addition to the | 678 by Spencer and Peacock still an- other subpar score was returned. This the 69 scored by Mal Shorey of East Potomac Park to take second money in the pro sweepstakes. Washington has twice been played in 66 by Dave Thomson, the club pro, and Maurice J. McCarthy, amateur star. But not until yesterday had 67 been made in competition.

Peacock will be strictly the man to beat in that forthcoming title tour~ ney over a course which rewards straight hitting far more than long smiting. For Washington is that kind of a course.
