PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER B8, 1935. SPORTS. » A—13 C. U. Headed for Places in Foot Ball : League Held Need for Prep Schools His Team Up and Coming EARDS ARE EAGER Rating of Grid Teams ¢ Strong Reserve Is Unique at Brookland—Carroll Justi- fies Prophets. BY ROD THOMAS. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, after years sitting in a back seat in spite of its many good teams, now is in position to take & leading part in District foot ball. It was significant that the largest crowd ever to attend a C. U. opening game saw the Cards beat the stuffing out of La Salle. With a G. W.-Alabama game in town on the same day, the hottest foot ball attraction in the history of the city, many chose to examine the Redbirds. Storles of a really crack team at Brookland drew them. ‘The performance of that team, against an outfit which held C. U. to a 6-6 tle last year and supposedly ‘was stronger than in 1934, has turned & spotlight directly on the Ilatest creation of Arthur (Dutch) Bergman. Ever since he came to Catholic University, six years ago, Bergman has been cursed with a shortage of reserves. His first teams have been excellent, attracting attention by the precision of their play. But in major contests the Cards have weakened and lost in final periods. The La Salle game was a notable exception. Has Strong Reserve. TK!S Fall Bergman can replace reg- ular after regular without lessen- ing perceptibly the efficiency of his line-up—which is something new in C. U. foot ball. And there is a strong likelihood that the Cards will present something unique in the gridiron annals of the city—an undefeated team. Their next opponent will be Du- quesne, which beat the Cards last season, 14-0. Then, in order, will come Detroit, San Antonio, De Paul, West Virginia Wesleyan, Western Maryland and North Carolina State. There is nothing in the 1934 or 1935 records of these teams to indi- cate that the Cardinals won't be an even money or better bet in every game. San Antonio, West Virginia Wes- leyan, Western Maryland and North Carolina State will be met here. The Cardinals played 80 uniformly well against La Salle that the team as a whole, and no individual, evoked the critics’ jabber. But if any were singled out, they say, it would have been Maurice “Irish” Carroll, half- back. It was predicted that Carroll would become the outstanding sophomore back in these parts and the young man has made a promising start toward justifying the prophets. He is an all-round performer on the grid- iron and a star in the classroom, hav- ing been elected to the Phi Eta Sigma, & national honorary academic fra- ternity. He prepped at La Salle Mili- tary Academy. IP C. U. comes through undefeated | one of its players may be men- tioned for all-America honors. Its captain, Ed “Popeye” Karpowich, is quite a foot ball player. He was a unanimous selection as tackle on all- opponent elevens last season and fig- ures to have his best year. Catholic University has its guns aimed principally on Duquesne, De- trolt, West Virginia Wesleyan and Western Maryland. In five games with Duquesne it has won only once. In its only encounter with Detroit, last year, it took a decisive beating. Twice it has fallen before West Vir- ginia Wesleyan without scoring, and in the last two of its three games with Western Maryland has suffered defeat. ‘The Cardinals’ final game will bring together teams coached by old friends, Bergman of C. U. and Hunk Anderson of North Carolina State. Both are Notre Dame alumni. If the Brookland school decides to branch out in foot ball, Bergman easlly may obtain a game with Als- bama. At least he would have the support of Frank Thomas, the Alsbama coach, who roomed with Dutch. at Notre Dame when both ‘Were members of a Rockne team. Practically assured of a successful 1935 season, C. U. is to pos- sibly bigger things in 1936. Few of the players it counted upon for the eurrent campaign will be graduated and there are some promising per- formers in Ed La Fond's freshman squad.

THE SPORTLIGHT Cubs Learn “Old Gray Goose Ain’t Dead” When Goslin Wallops Single in Ninth. BY GRANTLAND RI ETROIT, October 8—The]|third, only a few steps from a run leaning tower now can crum- ble and find its level with the Pisan plain. The hang- D | ing gardens can grow up in weeds. After waiting 48 years, Detroit's Tigers | at last are base ball champions of the world. Nothing else matters in this mad, delirious city. Let time's ancient bough shed de- caying worlds as the rattle of ma- chine guns echoes along Ethiopian trails. This makes no difference at all in the city that waited and won | at last—from the dynasty of Hughey Jennings, Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford and Wild Bill Donovan to the title-winning punch that Goose Goslin fired in the ninth inning of the sixth game of the 1935 series, delivered the big run in person. As the series count stood at four victories for the Tigers and two for the Chicago Cubs, over 48,000 Detroit | fans opened up a vocalistic cataclysm that still is sweeping Michigan. And above all the racket and the roar there came one remembered chant—“Go tell the cock-eyed world, the old gray goose ain’t dead.” It was the old gray goose— Goslin—working in partnership with Mickey Cochrane, that finally beat back the last wild charge of Charlie Grimm’s game young Cubs, And you can write it down in your book that these same Cubs were claw- ing and scratching and snarling and biting up to the final play, as Tommy Bridges, the Tennessee rifleman, and Larry French, the Chicago southpaw, fought it out on even terms, blow for blow, until Cochrane's third hit put him in position to ride home on the line smash to center from the old Jersey marsh hunter, who was help- ing to win pennants and world series over 10 years ago. A Chaplet for Bridges. BE‘POHE going any 1arther it might be just as well to pause at this spot and hang a chaplet of wild apple blossoms around the slender neck of Tommy Bridges, the Tiger pitcher. The Cubs had been raking him fore and aft, here and there, up and down most of the afternoon. But Bridges reserved his main repertory for the big climax in the ninth. Get this pic- ture: The score was tied at 3 and 3. The Cubs had spiked him for 11 hits. It was quite apparent that one run meant the ball game, and possibly the championship. At this ticklish mo- ment Stan Hack kicked in with a low liner that cleared Gerald Walker’s head for a triple.

And there was nobody out. It was 10 to 1 on a seventh game, with the series tied up. In the face of this emergency, Tennessee Tommy struck out Jurges, threw out Larry French and collared Augie Galan on a fly to left.

It was not the greatest series ever played, but it was one of the most | interesting, if you take in all the de- | tails that bring base ball closer to the multitudes who must have some- thing more than meat and bread or the dole. The young Chicago Cubs, with their run of 21 straight, with their victories over the Deans and the Cardinals, just missed the punch and the ex- perience that might have car- ried them through. ‘They had to fall back on the buggy- whip arm of Lon Warneke, the world's champion tobacco chewer from Mount Ida, Ark, who held the Tigers run- less in his two starting games. Root, Lee and French lacked the stuff need- ed to put the silencer on Tiger bas. The Tigers’ Big Four. OFFBNSIVELY, the lower end of the Tiger batting list couldn’t hit the size of your hat. Clifton, a keen kid on defense, never got a hit in the series and Owen got only one. the old gun-cotton big four—Cochrane, Gehringer, Goslin and Fox—still were hanging around, and these were the four that turned on the juice. They got 8 of the Tigers’ 11 hits in the game that meant the cham- plonship—and these were the hits that offset Bill Herman's home run in the fifth, which scored two runs and sent the Cubs sprawling into the lead. But, after all, it was Mickey Cochrane planting the championship run at home plate in the ninth with two out that painted the main pic- ture—hooked up with Goose Goslin's veteran legs tearing along toward first as Frank Demaree made one last des- pi:t“e effort to nail Cochrane at the plate. More than one or two things have happened in the last 48 years, But, as far as Detroit is con- cerned, the big story of this period was written Monday afternoon when the Tiger man- ager stepped on home plate and said to the base ball world, © “Here it is.” ‘That was something to look at.

OLLEGE foot ball teams of the Capital area should make a brave showing in their con- tests this week if the Willlam- son rating system fairly approximates the strength of them and their op- ponents. The rating table based on games played to date shows Catholic Uni- versity greatly superior to Duquesne and Gallaudet far ahead of Baltimore University. Maryland, American Uni- versity and George Washington are not rated so far back of their foes. George- figures, Roanoke College having a town is the lone team outclassed in the much better rating. C. U, Maryland Rate High. 'ATHOLIC U. and Maryland stand high in the national list of 407 teams rated according to the William- son system. The Cardinals, with 87.3, stand .eleventh of the lot led by Princeton, rated at 98.1. Maryland is thirty-sixth, with a rating of 75.2. George Washington is next of the Capital group, placed in the 200 spot with 42.2, Princeton went to the top of the | ‘Williamson table by virtue of defeating & strong Pennsylvania team last Satur- | day. It passed Rice, leader the week | before, by 2 points. Rice smothered | Duquesne, a team not quite in Penn's | class.

Newcomers to crowd into the picture are Auburn, | Alabama, North Carolina and Wash- | ington. The last-named, a Pacific Coast power, shoved Santa Clara out of the select circle. . System Still Strong. IN ITS winning selections published last Priday in The Star, the Wil- liamson system fell short of the pre- vious week’s percentage of 90.2. How- ever, the efficiency result was 87.3, | everything considered. There were 250 games picked. Returns were made on 228.

TEAMS NOW LACK A REAL INCENTIVE Meet Often, but Circuit Is Essential to Interest, Mitchell Avers. BY BILL DISMER, Jr. HAT the prep schools need most is a well- organized and offictal league, sanctioning games similar to those of the interhigh series, in order to maintain the interest of pupils not enrolled in the public high schools.” Thus spoke Orrel Mitchel, athletic director of Gonzaga High, yesterday when he decried the lack of genuine enthusiasm and interest in athletics by students of local high and prep schocls not included in interhigh affliations.. “Some time ago I tried to organize such a league, myself,” continued Mitchell, “but the best we could ar- range was a three-team series betwesn 8t. John’s, Georgetown Prep and Gon= zaga, There's no reason why St. Al bens and Landon shouldn't join with us and eventually, perhaps, we might be able to include all of Washington's prep and private high schools.” Plenty of Games Now. THIS Fall eight games are scheduled between local prep schools, but they are utterly wanting in signifie cance, due to the absence of any offi- cial organization. Georgetown Prep plays in four of them, meeting Gon- zaga, St. Albans, St. Johns and Friends; Gohzaga meets St. John's, Landon is scheduled with St. Albans and Friends and Devitt meets Bullis, “We could set aside one day in the week, say Wednesday, for leagus games of an inter-prep series,” cone tinued Mitchell. That would not cone flict with the interhigh days of Tues- days and Fridays, and mid-week dates are not usually crowded. “The drive for a championship al- ways acts as a greater incentive to the kids than anything else, but at present there is no scholastic championship in the city, save the public high title, Such a league would prove a tremen= dous stimulant to private Ligh and prep school youngsters. « Gonzaga Team Green. PEAKING of his own team, Mitchell declared that Gonzaga would send | a line-up predominantly sophomoric into its five remaining games this year and that he thought they needed only experience to develop into a first-class eleven. Mistakes due entirely to ine xperience resulted in the 19-0 loss to Eastern last Friday, the curly-haired mentor pointing out that any veteran team might have expected an Eastern pass on fourth down when it found itself on the enemy's 10-yard line. Passes near the Gonzaga goal line were not covered up by the Purple | defenders, but otherwise Mitchell was | most pleased with the work of his | charges. He expects a great improve- ment when his team meets Roosevelt on Friday. Tentative Line-Up. TENTATIVE first-string line-up of the Eye Streeters finds Pete Brew and Bob Merkle at the ends, Bill McCray and Frank Fenwick at the tackles, Carl Hechmer and Law- rence Widmayer as guards, Dick Murphy at center, Jim Boyle calling the signals, John Costello and Jim Shaw as halfbacks and Ray Gormley at full. That right-end post also may be handled by Dick Wade, who has locked impressive in recent scrim- mages. Of the line. only Hechmer and Murphy were on the first team last The biggest man on the squad is Mike Clairvaux, 190-pound reserve tackle. Training has reduced his weight from 208. The regular tackle, PFenwick, tips the scales at 180, the heaviest man in the starting line-up. In reserve, Mitchell has Jim Walsh and Charley Ramsdell as ends, Clair- vaux and Donald Bloom as tackles, George Herbeck and Lewis Di Filipo, guards, and Joe McDonald. Herbeck and Di Filipo are young and sturdy, while McDonald is one of the most willing, though inexperienced, meme bers of the squad.
