A—13 - 'Maryland-Carolina Game Is Headliner : Many Big Gridiron Battles at Hand —_— -2 George Washington Leaders Pay Tribute to Great Alabama Eleven. BY ROD THOMAS. FTER an eventful week end, Washington’s college foot ball teams took stock today. ‘They won three games and Jost four. Catholic University, Mary- land and Gallaudet scored victories, and George Washington, Georgetown, American University and Wilson | Teachers took it on the whiskers. It was a stunning blow dealt George 5 Washington by Alabama, but the gloom | among the Colonials today was sur- | prisingly thin. “We took a real beating,” said Jim Pixlee, head coach, “but we got it from one of the finest teams I've ever seen. If Alabama plays the kind of foot ball for the remainder of the sea- son that it showed us, it isn't likely to be beaten. It may have been a team that was great for a day, but there is no reason to believe it won't go on playing like that.” And from Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, G. W. president: “Our boys gave their best and the school is satisfied. There are some things in foot ball more im- portant than victory.” C. U. Prophets Correct. N defeating La Salle decisively, Catholic University more than ful- filled the prophesies of foot ball critics who declared Dutch Bergman would put forth the greatest team in Car- dinal history. Most likely what pleased Bergman most about the 41-7 victory over an eleven that tied C. U. last year was the performance of his reserves. He made many substitutions without weakening the line-up notice- ably. He used virtually every player on the squad and the second-stringers performed quite as well as the men rated as regulars. It was due solely to a lack of reserve strength that Catholic University teams have lost a oumber of major games in recent years. Next Friday night, at Pittsburgh, C. U. will meet its second important | test, with Duquesne, always dangerous, as its opponent. George Washington looks for more or less of a breathing spell against Catawba, but will be fortified against an upset. “Little” colleges, hopped up for a single game, have been playing havoc with major elevens this Fall and Catawba is primed for the Co- lonial battle, which will be fought Fri- day night at Griffith Stadium. Title Contenders Clash. THE most important contest on the list of Capital teams this week is that between Maryland and North Carolina in Baltimore Saturday. The Terps and Tarheels are considered strong contenders for the Southern Conference championship. Neither has been defeated. Carolina pulled one of the big surprises Saturday by slamming Tennessee, long rated as the kingpin of the conference, 38-13. This score gave Maryland a slight shock, but the Old Liners, delving into the statistics of the game, felt relieved. Tennessee outgained the Tarheels by a great margin and but for a remarkable number of intercepted passes might have held the score even or have won. The Maryland-Carolina game will be the top attraction in the Old Line | State, altheugh the Navy is putting on a big party this week. On Thurs- day the middies will meet Virginia at Annapolis in a contest that will head- line the celebration of the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the academy. The Cavaliers aren’t ex- pected to extend the middies. Vir- ginia has lost to Hampden-Sydney and been tied by Davidson. Georgetown, which showed flashes of class in losing by a touchdown to the briliantly coached Aibright eleven, will play Roanoke at Griffith Sta- dium Saturday. Gallaudet, off to a flying start with & victory over Bridgewater, will visit Baltimore University, and American University, beaten by Washington College, will invade Hampden-Sydney. | ‘This is an open week for Wilson Teachers’ College. FROM THE Gehringer, Series’ Makes Cubs Realize He Is Not “Yellow.” BY JOHN ETROIT, October 7—As the boys come back, back, back to Michigan for the sixth game of the world series, there is little doubt In their minds that Charlie Gehringer, the silent and graceful German who performs at second base for the Tigers, is the best ball player on the two clubs. He is pressed for the place by ‘Warneke and by Cochrane and by Bill Herman, but he wins. There is no one like him for steady, sharp, timely hitting, and no one remotely like him for fielding that ball. He has Do batting weakness. He can throw and run and think on his feet. Up till this series, there were ekeptics who held that Charles was & bit short on intestinal fortitude— better known by & more grnpmr,% word. Well, that impression has been pretty well dispelled. Ask Freddie Lindstrom. Holds Gehringer Is Game, "THATzuyLsumeu'hu come,” says Fred. “I went into him with everything I had at second base in the first game, and he took it and slapped me down. He wouldn't move an inch for me. Don’t let 'em kid you that he’s yellow.” With that point cleared up, there {5 nothing you can say against Gehringer. He has another fanatical admirer in Babe Ruth, who doesn't always remember Charlie’s first name, but knows and respects him on sight. “He is the best ball player around,” #aid the Babe the other day, just af- ter Charlie had disturbed Mr. Carle- ton by stealing second as clean as a whistle. “He picks his spots. Did you see him steal that one? There wasn't & soul on the field who was Jooking for it.” Charlie is the leading hitter of the series so far and the leader in runs batted in. §. | WESTE Ghicago Cardinals | a .

PRESS BOX Outstanding Player, LARDNER What's more, he missed a huge home run by inches in the second game, when the hit blew foul, and he has been robbed of a couple of doubles by the classy fielding of Demaree, Klein and Lindstrom. He doesn't do much talking, Geh- ringer, even among his teammates. He is a shrewd and careful business man. He runs a string of gas stations in Detroit. The chances are that he never will starve, for he plays it safe and stows the sugar away. About the current series he has little to say. Says Greenberg Is Missed. MISS Greenberg more than you'd think,” he commented in the cluk house. “He's become a great hitter, and his punch might have won the fifth game today. In fact, it would have. We had men on base three times when his turn came in the batting order—but he wasn't there.” Greenberg'’s absence is tough on the Tigers, of course, but Gehringer's would be far tougher. If not the spark plug, he is the mainspring of the Tiger machine. He scared the opposing pitchers. They know there is nothing they can throw that will bother him. He wasn’t fazed by Dean in the series last year. Warneke is the only pitcher I've ever seen who has the sign on Charle, and the chances are that, if Lon works again this week, he will find that Gehringer has solved him. He stores up his knowledge. And it doesn't take him long to learn. Your correspondent never had the privilege of watching Napoleou Lajole, but they say that Charlie Gehringer 1s the next thing to him. Every move- ment he makes on the field has grace and rhythm in it. If Lajole was a better second baseraan than this boy he must have been the pinkest dream of a second baseman that ever lived.

And that didn't cause Gardner to frown, either. Team Lacks Weight. UT getting back to Garrett Park, there really is not much reason to expect a repetition of last year's record which resulted in the “unoffi- cial” championship of the local prep schools going to the school on the Rockville Pike. To begin with, the team will average only 145 pounds, & 150-pound line alone being responsible for that G. U. Prep’s backs—Capt. Elkin Frzaklin, Jack Detweiller and Bobby O'Shaugnessy—average only 140. Detweiller, a 14-year-old 130-pound | quarterback, is the prize half-pint of local prep school ranks, the promising signal-caller starting his first year on the fullback position yet. The Garrett Parkers’ schedule calls for six games, four against local schools—Friends, St. Joha's, Gonzaga and St. Albans. They will be the last of the city's prepmen to begin active competition, the Friends’ game on October 18 being the first on their schedule. But one contest will be played out of the city, a November 28 engagement with Iona High of New Rochelle, N. Y. VICTORY IS.HANDED TO MT. ST.

Fritz Crisler, Princeton coach, pointed out to every one interested that it was Right Guard Bill Mont- gomery who blocked Penn's try for a point after the Quaker touchdown Saturday and enabled the Tigers to score & 7-6 victory. “We went into the contest a group of individuals and came out a team,” Crisler said. “It was entirely a team victory. Penn has a beautiful team with a powerful set of backs and our line did yeoman service in standing up under the pounding.” MILWAUKEE.—Maybe, this ex- plains why Art Guepe is considered Marquette's first-string quarterback, although his twin brother Al also is a candidate for the position. Art’s birth- day anniversary is January 28 and Al's January 29, giving Art the privileges of an “older” brother. ORGANTOWN, W. Va—After three years of playing host to the Pitt Panthers without much suc- cess, the West Virginia Mountaineers are going to Pittsburgh this week, with hopes of changing their luck. This season’s game is the first they have played in Pitt Stadium since 1931. Incidentally, West Virginia is seeking its ninth victory over Pitt in 32 games. DETROIT—Another reason for the high cost of foot ball: The Detroit Titans will use two sets of jerseys this year—lightweight one with red numbers on a white background for the early season games, red wool numbered in white for the later games, when the extra warmth is needed. STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—So far as the foot ball squad is concerned, Penn State lives up to its name al- most 100 per cent. The only mem- ber whose home fsn’t in Pennsyl- vania is Bill Periman, a d fre New York. SR NEW YORK—As nearly as can be judged this far in advance, the Pur- due Boilermakers will outweigh Ford- ham by 8 pounds to the man when they take the fleld Saturday. The av- erage weights for the prospective line-ups are 190 pounds for Purdue and 182 for Fordham. The Rams, however, have a heavier set of backs.

Fordham's Rams, who showed un- doubted strength in whipping Boston College, 19-0, meet the Purdue Boiler- makers, 7-0 conquerors of Northwest- ern. Colgate's Red Raiders travel to Jowa City to play the Iowa team, which tuned-up with a 47-2 triumph over South Dakota. Illinois takes on Southern California. Manhattan encounters Louisiana State at New York, while the Cente- nary gentlemen meet Texas A. and M Penn Battles Yale. PEN’NSYLVANIA, which came out on the short end of a 7-6 score against Princeton Saturday, tackles Yale this week, with slightly brighter prospects. Other headline games in the East: Harvard-Holy Cross, Syracuse and the twice-beaten Cornell team, Pittse burgh-West Virginia, Villancva-Bucke nell and New York University-Care negie Tech. Minnesota and Nebraska, major powers in the Big Ten and Big Six, respectively, meet in the leading Mid- western clash, while Notre Dame, back on top after walloping Kansas and Carnegie, meets a sub-par Wisconsin team. The only Western Conference game brings together Indiana and Michigan. The Southwestern leader, Rice, has a fairly easy one against Creighton. Arkansas meets Baylor to continue the conference race. The Rice Owls’ 27-7 triumph over Duquesne Saturday again stamped them as one of the Nation's best teams.

The Cubs put away this second win by the score of 3 to 1, so the Tigers went home to the arctic breeze from Lake Erie still one game away from their first world series championship in 48 years. The first 47 years are said to be the toughest. The story of the fifth game goes back to an Arkansas feud. It is quite | possible that Chicago can't stop| Detroit, but Mount Ida, Ark., still has the big jump on Eldorado, one of the county seats of that State. A year ago, as you may remember, | Tigers and Cardinals were the dom- inating actors in the world series. Working as a starting pitcher 10 days ago, Warneke shut out Paul Dean and the Cardinals, 1 to 0, with two hits. A week later he shut out Schoolboy Rowe and the Tigers with four hits. Still working as & starting pitcher in the fifth series game, he had Schoolboy Rowe shut out again, 2 to 0, with three hits in six innings. So lank Lon Warneke of Mount Ida, outside of his hurried relief work, has shut out both :1?':1: -n‘:, tfl“:‘:'lnh for 24 innings, allowing a of e base hits in this stretch—which is about all the pitching any one could ask for. Plug Is Quite s Hazard. “IP YOU happen tc visit Arkansas, and why not,” Warneke sald be- fore the fifth game started, “don’t overlook Mount Ida. It's still a better town than Eldorado and I'm taking nothing away from Schoolboy Rowe. It's closer to the Ozark hunting coun- try and there's still a chance it has a pitcher who can carry the Arkansas | flag to another win.” As Lon Warneke offered these brief remarks he took another divot from & hunk of plug tobacco that would choke an elephant. “How can you get your right arm over that big bunker?” I asked, as ‘Warneke'’s right jaw suddenly expand- ed like a toy balloon. I still think this is the reason he drew that kink in his right shoulder at the end of the sixth inning, when he had the Tigers shut out and throttled with three scattered hits. Something snapped as he re- tired Gehringer for the seventh Tiger in a row at the end of the sixth, but it wasn't Warneke's heart. A tired ligament suddenly cracked and they had to call on big Bill Lee from Louisiana, who got by after a stormy voyage. Lee finally came safe- Iy to port, but he missed the breakers by only half & span. There was another contributor to the Cubs’ success in this fifth game, who belongs among the dramatic FLAWS CAN'T this scientific testing Ethiopia, But in the wild 21-game | rush of the Cubs to a pennant, Chuck | Klein spent most of the time on the | bench. He was the forgotten man of base ball, doubled and re- doubled.

It was now up to Klein to bring Herman home. Klein's response was not a long outfleld fly or & sharp in- fleld hit. It was a smashing home | run into the right-fleld bleachers that traveled on a line, leaving a trail of | fire behind. This was the big blow that broke up the fifth battle. The forgotten man was now in the cabinet, far off the dole. This big smash was all that War- neke needed until something snapped in his right shoulder just as he was | choking the Tigers to death. Up to this point Warneke gave you the impression that Mathewson gave 30 years ago against the Athletics— that he could pitch forever against this club and never allow a run. I can still see Matty breaking up every form of Athletic attack. Who can forget Warneke turning these Tigers into a cage for the 15 innings of starting work he has known against them with no one even threatening the plate? ‘Warneke had the old Apache and Sioux sign on Rowe in both starts. The Cubs nailed the Eldorado entry | for eight hits that totaled 14 bases. | They crowded Rowe from the start, and Rowe is a slow starter.

But even a double chew of plug tobacco can’t help you along when the main shoulder is full of kinks. The Cubs have been so far a one-pitcher team. ‘Where can they find another man?
