ALABAMA VICTORY SEEN BY M'GUGIN Thinks George Washington Will Suffer as Result of Tie With Howard. BY DAN McGUGIN, Director of Athletics. Vanderbilt ASHVILLE. Tenn., October 4 —We step right into several hard games in this section on the first Sat- urday in October. Alabama and George Washington should have an interesting game. In- asmuch as Alabama was tied by How- ard most peopls would pick Georgs Washington, always a hard nut to crack, but I believe Alabama has a great team. While no credit should be taken from Howard, Alabama suffered from injuries to Quarterback Smith and others, and perhaps she needed just this kind of shock to make her men realize that nothing can be taken for granted in foot ball. Although Tulane lost many veterans she appears to have another great team in the making and should have a little too much for Auburn. | I pick Tennessee against North Carolina, partly because Tennessee has been winning from North Carolina quite consistently. However, North Carolina, under Coach Snavely, made remarkable progress last year. Ten- nessee gets off with the ball as fast &s any team in the country and always has some highly perfected special plays which carry touchdown possi- bilities at l-ny slage of the game.

Henshaw gave up three to the Tigers with two out in the fourth before he was re- placed by Kowalikk, who was better, but not good enough. Pete Fox batted in the last run in the seventh after Kowalik indulged himself in a walk and another nicked batsman. ‘ 2] nvil Ml reasant Kent _ Alesburg L] Lawrence (85.5) Marquette Teachers (49 Milwaukee Teachers (48 Missouri Mines._ | Tliinois Normal _ Ripon (83.8) St. Cloud Tea St John.

The lofty press box at times covered with :‘swnyed in the face of the semi-hurri- . | cane, laden with ice. | on one occasion, Owen, the Tiger & - | third baseman, started chasing a high foul along the left field line and Rogell, the shortstop, finally snagged /it within a few steps of second base. It had all the elements of a duffer's _ | slice, one of those drives that starts | | for the left side of the fairway and winds up in the rough on the right side of the course. There were numerous occa- sions when both infielders and outfielders had to surround a high fly, as ne one could tell where the wind-blown ball might drop. ‘Weather conditions made good base ball impossible for any one but a flock of Eskimos, who haven't yet taken up our national game. After his clinching home run, Hank Greenberg made a pair of errors at first, which may leave him another world series record if he blows another chance. But Hank had turned in the main job of the day when he rapped his home run into the left field stands shortly after the ball game opened. After that blow, nothing much mat- | tered for those who had heavy over- coats and warming furs. The show | was over, (Copyrisnt Newspaper Alliance, G.W. and C.U.

The series is tied, one game to one, and Mr. Cochrane is sat- isfled that the issue will be decided in favor of his mob within four days. Mr. Cochrane feels that way: 1. He has produced two fine pitch- ers to date—Rowe and Bridges—while the Cubs have shown only one who u\ | sure of winning—Warneke. | 2. The first four hitters in Mr. Coch ! rane’s line-up, together with Pete Fox, have demonstrated that they can and will pulverize any sort of right-handed pitching except Warneke's. Fox, as a | matter of fact, plays no favorites. He | can hit even Warneke. 3. Rowe can work more often than the aforesaid Warneke can. 4. Two of the batsmen who spurred the Cubs on in their pennant-winning drive—Lindstrom and Cavarretta— seem to be cooling off in the Autumn wind. | 5. The Tigers have a better bal- | anced ball club. Contends Team Plays as Unit. 'HIS last contention needs to be enlarged upon a little, and Mr. | Cochrane is the man to do the en- larging. But Mr. Cochrane is busy. | After sitting in with two licensed phy- siclans yesterday in a conference on the subject of Hank Greenberg's wrist, he dashed off to Chicago. He had time for only a few words about bal- ance. “You've seen the Cubs” he said. “They have a lot of good ball players. Man for man, I wouldn't rate them much below us. At the end of the National League season the Cubs all | worked together and were unbeatable. But theyre not a unit like our club. ‘They have to be hot to click. That's what will make the difference between winning and losing in this series.” 1 assume that Micke: con- siders the Cardinals of 1934 to have been a balanced club, or a unit. They were. He’s prob- ably right in feeling that the Cubs are not. The Cubs have a dozen regular players, some young, some old, whom Charlie Grimm succeeded in fusing 1035 bx the North American | at the end of the season. But Lind- |strom was not a regular all year.

PRESS BOX Balance Is Seen Big Asset of Tigers, Again Established Series Favorites. LARDNE] Neither was Hack and neither was | Demaree. For balance, unison and experience as a group, the Cubs do no. compare with the Tigers. Their success, | score one, will have to be -chleved by individual feats. Cubs Produce Individual Feats. O FAR there have been individual feats of importance on the part |of several Cubs, chiefly Warneke, | Hartnett, Hack, Galan, and Kowalik. | You know about Warneke’s. Hartnett made three hits in two ames and has been brilliant defens- | ively, especially when he shut Green- berg off from the plate in the second game. Hack is fielding splendidly at third. Galan is doing the same in the outfield, and Kowalik pitched ex- | tremely well in limiting the Tigers to | | three hits in four and one-third in- | nings. If Grimm manages to fuse these fellows once more in the next three games in Chicago, he | has a chance to win. He can look for another victory from Warneke. But the rest of his pitchers are unknown quantities in | series competition, and his hitters are not likely to produce an assault like | the one launched on Root by White, | | Cochrane, Gehringer. and Greenberg | in the first inning of the second game. The betting commissioners, as the classic moves to Chicago, have re- established Detroit in her position as | @ 10-7 favorite. And those odds are | just about correct.

En- 9ARNOFF - IRVING 933 WASHINGTON PENNSYLVANIA AVE STORES @ 438 9th ST, N.wW ‘Tennessee-North Carolina—This ob- l HREE of Washington's “Big Four” in collegiate foot ball will have their mettle tested tomorrow in games that should give a true line on what may be ex- pected for the rest of the campaign. George Washington, in meeting the Alabama Rose Bowl champions at Griffith Stadium, heads the list of the trio of attractive battles, but the Catholic U.-La Salle clash at Brook« land and the Maryland-Virginia Tech struggle in the Baltimore Stadium doubtless will be just as hard fought. All of the game start at 2:30, and the followers of each team, plus oodles of just plain fans, will be on | hand with a “critical eye.” Colonials Are Confident. GEORGE WASHINGTON is optimise tic over its outlook in the Ala- bamn battle. The Colonials, from | Jim Pixlee down to the East Indian water boy, Kadiak Sampath, have confidence of the sort that implies | & team is keyed to its greatest fighte ing pitch. “We'll carry the fight to them all the way if possible.” said Pixlee. “Yes, Alabama is plenty big, fast and strong, but not so much that they can't be | beaten,” he said following a glimpse |of the Red Elephants who arrived | this morning. | Alabama, impressive and eager, | too. was given a rousing welcome at |noon shortly after arrival at Union | Station. The District Commissioners | presented the Tidesmen a key to the City in a public ceremony on the E street steps of the Disirict Building. | The invaders appeared in excellent physical condition with the lone ex- ception of big Riley Smith, 195 pound quarterback and blocking star, who limped somewhat as a result of a knee injury sustained three weeks ago. After establishing headquarters at the Willard, the visitors hopped out to the stadium for a lxm’:wrmg -Up §ese sion before the Colonials took the | field. Tonight they will attend Loew's Fox Theater, along with the Colonials, as guests of the management. G. W. Eleven Heavier, THE ‘Tidesmen tomorrow will average about 191 pounds as a team, 198 in the line and 178 in the backfield. George Washington, though, will hold & slight weight advantage, as the Coe lonials average 193 pounds as a team, 198 on the line and 184 in the back- field. G. W.s prospects were brightened with the announcement that Frank | Kavalier, regular 1934 fullback, is fit for action. He injured his shoulder early in September and rejoined the squad only a week ago. He will not start. The fullback hole will be filled either by Herb Reev 188-pound Junior, or Lou Carroll, 170-pound | sophomore. Fears for Tuffy Leemans. G. W.'s all-around star and the most color figure on either team, are groundless, it seems, for Trainer Roland Logan pronounced the quarterback's arm sufficiently healed to permit his starte ing. Appearing for the first | season in the line-up, Sid Kolker and Hollis Harrison, veteran guards, will add strength to George Washington's defense, which has undergone some changes since the Emory and Henry victory. Both Kolker and Harrison are rugged defensive performers. Andy Horne and Ted Cottingham, a pair of sophs who held down the jobs last | week, will be held in reserve. La Salle Has Many Stars. ] A SALLE'S team, undefeated since 1933, arrived in town this after- noon and went to a hotel to rest until the tilt, Thirty-five players hwludlrg Fritz Brennan, the injured” captain of the team, made the journey from Phila- delphia in charge of Coach Marty Brill and Athletic Director Jim Henry, Aside from the highly publicized La Salle freshman duo, George Reichard and Joe Cutcavage, who punched over touchdowns to rout Davis-Elkins last Saturday, the C. U. team is faced with the problem of holding in check, Quarterback Joe Sciaretta. According to Fod Cotton who scouted La Salle, the Explorer quarterback is one of the best signal callers he has seen in years. Besides barking the plays, Sciaretta also handles the booting and the passing. It was his heave to Kad- lubosky that tied the score against C. U. last season A large delegation of La Salle fans | is expected to descend upan the city tomorrow morning. A telegram re- (See G. W. COCKY, Page 3) time this Albright Recalls 1916 Rout by G. U. N ITEM from Albright, which Georgetown meets in foot ball here tonight, cites the fact that the Hoyas played the Pennsyl- vanians back in 1916 and handed them an 80-to-0 pasting. Albright evidently will be spur- red by the memory of that de- bacle in an effort to ge* revenge. That year Georgetown compiled 412 points to be the second high scoring team of the country. LOOK!
