C. U. Takes No Chance With ' THE SPORTLIGHT The Foening Stad Sporls WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1935. St. Mary’s : Week’s Infersectional Grid Card Glows L3 | Unbeaten Teams Have Hard Rows to Hoe in Grid Season Studded With Upsets. BY GRANTLAND RI WITH A QUICK KICK TO A. TENNYSON. Then I peered into the future, far as human eye could see, And I saw the upsets coming like the stormy surf at sea, And I saw the strong ones beaten, and I saw the weak arise, With a chip upon each shoulder and with murder in their eyes— And I heard above the babel and the echo of their scoff— “Here is woe to the unbeaten as we start to knock ‘em off!” HAT teams, in the upper grades of foot ball, will finish untied and unbeaten this Fall? If you are looking for additional puzzles to solve in this bizarre exist- ence, we recommend the above. Suppose we take a few of the lead- ers and the main hurdles they face: Ohio State—Notre Dame the main barrier, with Illinois always waiting for a gadfly turn. Notre Dame—Navy, Ohio State and Army—possibly Northwestern. Minnesota — Northwestern, Purdue, Towa. Army — Yale, Mississippi Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Navy. California—U. 8. C, U. C. L. A, ‘Washington, Stanford. North Carolina — Georgia Duke. 8. M. U—Texas, U. C. L. A, Texas Christian. T. C. U.—Texas, Rice, 8. M. U, State, Tech, | Santa Clara. Purdue—Minnesota, Towa. Yale—Army, Princeton. ‘Washington—Stanford, Oregon. U. C. L. A—Oregon, California, S M. U, St. Mary's. Towa—Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue, Northwestern. Georgia—Alabama, Louisiana State, Auburn, Georgia Tech. ‘Temple—West Virginia, Michigan State, Marquette, Villanova. From this brief list, North Carolina has the easiest job left, comparatively speaking. Ohio State should make it if Notre Dame is stopped. Minnesota and Purdue will settle a Blown Extra Point After Touchdown Proves Boon to Cardinals. BY ROD THOMAS. T'S no pushover Catholic Univer- sity’s undefeated Cardinals will battle Friday night at Griffith Stadium in the St. Mary’s Uni- versity eleven from San Antonio, Tex. “Those Texas boys,” reports Eddie Lafond, who scouted St. Mary's in its 7-6 victory over St. Thomas Saturday at Scranton, Pa, “arc big, fast and | well coached.” Lafond presented the C .U. coaches with diagrams of some fancy passing | plays used effectively by the Rattlers, many of them started from spread | formations bound to be puzzling to any opponent for a while, at least. “They were all over the lot,” says Lafond, “and St. Thomas’ players got dizzy trying to cover them.” St. Mary's came East with 24 play- ers, conveyed in an old-time motor bus painted in Rattler colors, royal blue and gold. In this the Texans have averaged 400 miles a day. If you see any human mountains at Washington show places in the next several days don't look for a Wild West | circus. The Rattlers are traveling in “native” garb. C. U. Gets Singular Break. §OME foot ball coaches will tell you that attitude is the most vital factor in scoring big gridiron victories. ‘The C. U.-Detroit game offered an in- teresting example. “It was a bit of luck that we missed the point after touchdown that would have tied the score,” says Fod Cotton, the Cards’ crack line coach, who ex- plains: “It looked as though the game would be a tie and when our boys lost that point, with only a few minutes to go, they went after the Detroit gang like wildcats, and they did things bet- ter than they knew how. They got a touchdown so quickly with that extra | effort it made us all gasp. If Mulligan | had kicked the extra point after our first touchdown, I believe the gnme} would have ended all even. Both teams would have settled down and | concentrated simply on not being ! licked.” One of the pleasing features of Catholic University’s performance against Detroit was. the play of Leo Katalinas, who replaced Capt. Ed Karpowitz, hurt on the first play. The | team was not weakened by the substi- tution, although Karpowitz, who re- turned to action later, is considered one of the finest tackles to play on a | Washington eleven in many a season. ‘The glant captain was dragging a stiff | leg today, but hoped to play against St. Mary’s. C. U. is blessed with tackle talent. Besides Karpowitz and Katalinas, a brother of the Katalinases of George- town fame, it has Eddy White and Sammy Pagano, both high grade. Texans Making Come-back. ST. MARY'S is resuming foot ball after a depression lay-off. It is coached by Frank Bridges, who used to win conference championships at | ‘Texas' famous Baylor. After losing to Rice Institute it has won three games in a row and shown steady im- provement. The Cardinal coaches are | not sure the Rattlers used all their stuff in defeating St. Thomas and C. U. will be prepared for a tough eve- ning Friday. “St. Mary’s,” to quote Lafond, “has the kind of a team that might spring one of those sensational upsets you're reading about these days.” With Catholic University apparently to become the first school to present ‘Washington with an undefeated team, prices for the intersectional game Pri- day night are a bargain. Reserve seats are $1.65 and general admission, $1.10. The agencies include Hen- derson’s Cigar Store, at Fourteenth | street and New York avenue north- west; Gude Bros., 1212 F street north- | west; Spalding's, 717 Fourteenth street northwest, and Epworth Pharmacy, ! Georgia avenue and Upshur streec| northwest. C. U. season athletic tick- ets, for all home foot ball, basket ball games and boxing matches, also are available at $5.50 & crack. . Rambling Texans Carry Own Profs. SCRANTON, Pa.,, October 22.— The Rambling Rattlers of St. Mary’s University, who will invade Washington Friday night to play undefeated Catholic University, may be missing time from their actual class rooms, but their edu- cation is not being neglected. Having defeated St. Thomas’ College here last week, 7 to 6, the San Antonio, Tex., gridders are di- viding their time now between pointing for the Cards and attend- ing classes in their hotel rooms under tw. college professors. The Rattlers, incidentally, will be minus two regulars in Billy Clark, guard, and Moody Roy, back, when Catholic is encoun- tered. They were injured against 8t. Thomas', big part of their argument at Minne- apolis on November 2, and Minnesota will miss Seidel, one of the smartest of the quarterbacks. The Army has the roughest road, wih five hard ones still left—including Notre Dame and Pittsburgh. You can check this list over and make your own guesses. In the meanwhile, the Rose Bowl pickers are already absorbing a touch of the jitters with so many possibilities already bumped off. There probably will be another extended effort to get the Western Conference to change its rule against post-season games. A New Back Enters. OBBY WILSON of Southern Meth- odist is not a new back. He has done his share of good foot ball play- ing before this. But 1935, so far, has been his top year. Wilson, weighing around 155 pounds, did more damage to Rice on Saturday than Wallace and McCauley did to S. M. U. Wilson had been S. M. U.’s spark plug most of the year. He was at his California, | - | Columbia for the target—after scoring best in one of the feature games of the week and he now is gettiag first rating in his sector from most of the experts. This has been an erratic season for most of the better backfield people. | At one stage, Johnson and Davis of | Kentucky looked to be wedged into | the front row. But Aubum bottled |up both and slipped Hitchcock and others into the big frame. When it comes to all-around backfield quality, you won't find many of them on a level with Purdue. Isbell, McGannon, Drake, Wright, | Decker—big, fast and versatile—make up cne of the best combinations that 1935 has to offer. Notre Dame is another citadel with its full share of backfield talent—in- cluding at least six above the normal span. Washington has a full set of fast- moving backs who handle the situation effectively and who will be hard to hold back. It was only a matter of time before those big, fast Pennsylvania backs got under way, and they finally picked 20 points against Yale. Alabama has a high-class quarter in Riley Smith, one of the best in a stout sector. Main Jobs, NEW head coach who can now take a 1935 bow is Stub Allison of Cali- fornja. So far, his Golden Bears have cleaned up St. Mary's, Oregon and Santa Clara, which happens to be one of the season's leading jobs. But Stub still has U. C. L. A, Washington and Stanford left, and the matter of taking this triple hurdle is no light, frothy affair, California so far has been playing with an amazing amount of speed and spirit. Allison has worked on | fundamentals until his Bears are as well grounded in this respect as any team you will find. And fundamentals | usually pay off along the line. It would be difficult at this spot to name the one main job of the year so far, but it wouldn't be far away from Georgia Tech’s victory over Duke, Tech had just picked up a heavy beat- ing from Kentucky. Duke was begin- ning to catch whispers about a Rose Bowl trip. And then the crash came. But Wallace Wade can at least have the slight consolation that the same crash will come sooner or later to most of the others. Many are called in October, but most of them have their ears pinned back before Decem- ber reports. Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) (Copyright. 1935. by the North American PIMLICO EXPECTING A BANNER MEETING! Red Rain Disappointing Whitney Stable, but Psychic Bid Repays Mrs. Sloane. By the Associated Press. PIMLICO is expecting a banner meeting this Fall. Stables from all over the country are shipping to Maryland. The Maryland Futurity will be run November 2, the Riggs November 9, the Walden November 11 and the Druis November 14. C. V. Whitney's Red Rain does not appear to be the racing colt that his stable and the racing public believed | him to be. The Hopeful winner has had three opportunities to duplicate his Saratoga victory, but has failed. Red Rain’s defeat in the mile of the Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs Saturday left no doubt in the minds of horsemen that the horse was somewhat overrated. It is a com- mon report that the horse is unsound and that a Winter's rest may bring him back into the form expected of him. The Southern Maryland Agricul- tural Association, which operates the Bowie track, has arranged six valu- able fixtures for its 14-day meeting, beginning November 15. There will be $17,000 in stakes, with $5000 of- fered for the Thanksgiving Day HanAicap. Add the name of Psychic Bid to the list of bargain yearling purchases by Mrs. Dodge Sloane. Like Cavalcade, High Strung and Time Clock, the 3-year-old whirlwind has won his cost many times over. The colt, conqueror of Sation, the American sprint cham- pion, at Empire City Saturday, earned $37,380 as a juvenile, which included his Hopeful Stakes score. This season he has won $14,390. His total earn- ings are $51,770. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.

OAKLAND, Calif.—Tuffy Pierpont, Cubs’ Catcher Heads Dizzy Dean in Writers’ Poll on National League. By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, October 22.— Charles (Gabby) Hartnett, veteran catcher of the pen- nant-winning Chicago Cubs, was voted the most valuable player in the National League for 1935 today by the Base Ball Writers' Association of America. The announcement was made by James C. Isaminger of the Philadel- phia Inquirer, chairman of the Award Committee. Hartnett, who went to the Cubs in 1922 from Worcester, Mass., has played his entire major league career with the Bruins. He was voted 75 points against 66 for Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals, who ran second. Dean won the 1934 award. Members of the committee each voted for 10 players, their first choice receiving 10 ballots; second, nine, down to one point for the tenth choice. Hartnett was first choice of five members of the committee, Dean of two. The only other player who was a first choice was Wally Berger, out- fielder of the Boston Braves, who tied | for sixth honors with 20 points. Vaughan, Bucs, Third Choice. RKY VAUGHAN, Pittsburgh short- stop, was third choice with 45 points. Billy Herman, another Cub, ran fourth with 38. - Gabby’s heavy hitting and brilliant catching was an important factor in the down-the-stretch flag drive of the Cubs, during which they rolled up 21 straight victories. In all, the Award Committee voted on 27 players. The others and their point scores follow: Joe Medwick, St. Louis, 37; Carl Hubbell, New York, 20; Wally Berger, Boston, 20; Bill Terry, New York, 20; Augie Galan, Chicago, 18; Pepper Martin, St. Louis, 16; Hank Leiber, New York, 11; Lon Warneke, Chi- | cago, 9; Ernie Lombardi, Cincinnati, 8; Frank Frisch, St. Louis, 7; Cy Blanton, Pittsburgh, 5; J.

But not the pupils of big Irving Holbrook. St. John’s Sees Wlngllnl Chance. OR the first time St. John's goes into a game in which it has more than an even chance.

They're for- getting the past three weeks and thinking only of Thursday. Devitt Gets Game. ONE of the three additional games being sought by Devitt was sched- uled yesterday when Jim McNamara agreed to take his charges up to Lan- caster, Pa., on November 16 for a tus- sle with the Franklin and Marshall Academy.

N of the Miami Hurricane, but when the Hoyas travel to play | New York University Saturday in per- haps their biggest game of the year they will be strengthened by the return of two linemen. They are Johnny Frank and Fred Tehaan, guards, who have been out of the game due to injuries. Tehaan suffered a slight concussion of the brain in the Albright game and did not play in the Roanoke or Miami tilts. Frank, most improved lineman on the squad, sustained a gash over his eye in practice last Friday and could not play in the Miami game. The cut required seven stitches, but Coach Jack Hagerty hopes that he will be available for action against the Violets. Although Georgetown's aerial de- fense has been wellnigh perfect so far, Hagerty is concentrating on this | phase, remembering the difficulty the | Hoyas encountered last year against |New York U. The Violets are said to have a crack air attack. Against Roanoke the Hilltoppers did not allow 8 pass to be completed and inter- cepted five of the enemy aerials. Miami tried 10 heaves and completed only one.

In the meantime, the quarter- back position and the chief passing, running and kicking assignment is re- tained by Ben Plotnicki, whose 93-yard run with an intercepted pass started the Colonials off to victory over West Virginia last Friday night. Both Pete Yurwitz and Leon Morris, sophomores who flashed promise last Friday as substitutes for the injured Hank Vonder Bruegge at left end, are likely to see action against Wake For- est. This game may determine the ultimate disposition of the left-end job for the balance of the campaign.

NOTRE DAME-NAVY TUSSLE TOPS LIST Close Detroit-Villanova Fray Foreseen—Purdue Picked Over Plaid. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 22.—The Navy-Notre Dame game seems to be the standout in intere sectional foot ball conflict this week, The South Bend Ramblers, again rolling along the victory road once paved by Knute Rockne, are favored in most quarters to take the measure of the Midshipmen, but regardless of the result it shapes up as a stire ring contest The Trish are undefeated, but the Navy has dropped one game, by a 7-6 margin o Yale last Saturday. Columbia, having tasted humilating defeat from the nettled Powermen of Pennsylvania, tackles Michigan, a team that has shown indication of returning to the eminence she once enjoyed in the Big Ten. Detroit Again in Battle, DETROIT. shaded by a strong Cathe olic University team in its last start, faces unbeaten Villanova in another intersectional game that should prove to be close, In five games Villanova has scored 137 points against none for her op- ponents. Detroit, however, has more to offer in the way of power, speed and deception than the other rivals. Hunk Anderson’s Wolfpack of North Carolina State, stalled by Georgia, 13-0, last week, hies to New York to take on Chick Meehan's Manhattan team, which turned on a last-quarter surge that brought it even with the big Purple team of Holy Cross last week. Purdue Is Favorite. URDUE was expected to prove too good for Carnegie Tech, the late ter having dropped three straight to Notre Dame, New York University and Temple. Purdue is undefeated and unscored on. Wake Forest of North Carolina mixes with George Washington. Other ine tersectional games bring together Buffalo and Wayne, Cincinnati and Baltimore, Hobart and Kenyon, Riche mond and Franklin and Marshall and Westminster and Muskingum. Punts and Passes By the Associated Press. ETHLEHEM, Pa.—It will be a case of the Staggs at bay when Susque- hanna and Moravian clash on the foot ball field next Saturday. Paul, younger son of the famous Amos Alonzo Stagg who began his coaching duties 44 years ‘ago, is coaching at Moravian Collega. Amos Alonzo, jr, is the mentor at Susquehanna. MANHATTA, Kans.—They say that ‘Jim Lander looks better without his | whiskers. Jim is the Kansas State | quarterback who looked like a member of the House of David ball team until after the game with the Fort Hays Tigers. Hays won a 3-0 victory, and Jim decided the whiskers weren't | very lucky after all, so he shaved. ‘WASHINGTON.—Leo Curley, son of the fighting Governor of Massachu- setts, is a member of the Georgetown | University foot ball squad, and they say he has many of the attributes of his father. He is a blocky lad who likes the going rough. He is slated to see action against the powerful New York University team Saturday. WEST POINT, N. Y.—That's a slick trick, literally and figuratively, that Gar Davidson uses to guard against fumbling on a rainy day. As the team prepared for Harvard he made the | boys smear their hands with slippery mud, then soaked the pigskin in water | and sent them through a snappy sige nal drill. | HANOVER, N.
