SPORT Se Central Hot Favorite in Series Debut : Upset Chances Dot Gridiron Program RATED T00 TOUGH | FOR RED RAIDERS Bigger Blue Team, Pointing for Tech, May Withhold Its Pet Plays. BY BURT HAWKINS. ENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL'S hefty gridmen will get their first taste of scholastic series competition tomorrow when | they promise to take a large bite out of the plucky but tender Western out- | fit in the second game of the inter- | high series at Western Stadium at 8:30 o'clock. | The “green” Red Raiders, riddled by graduation and injury to its cap- tain, Bill Shelton, who will be out for | the season, are too young and inex-| perienced to cope with the veteran | aggregation molded by Hardy Pearce. | A country vokel viewing the Chrys- | fer Building for the first time would | be no more impressed than the Cen- | tral team which saw a supposedly green Tech outfit wallop Roosevelt, 26-0, in the initial game of the series ‘Tuesday. Central must face the Maroon next Friday, so it is likely they will not re- veal any more of their pet plays than did Tech. Coach Pearce probably will insert his substitutes after the regu- lars have gained a commanding lead on power plays. Only in grit, determination and fight will Western measure up to the Blue battlers. The edge in passing, punting, power, experience and weight will be with Central. Central Eleven Is Husky. ENTRAL can throw four tackles into action with an average weight of 196 pounds. Ends scale an average of 177 pounds: guards, 159, and center, 195. Its backfield, comparatively light, will average about 160 Billy Richardson, tiny but tough quarterback, probably will be the chief individual contributor to Central's offensive power, although Norman Sabatini, who will miss the Western game due to an injured arm. Bill ‘Wooton, Joe Moran, Billy Vermillion, Johnny Jones and Bernie Askins have | shone promise of stealing the spot- light. BILLY RICHARDSON, VINCENT MEENEHAN. Central will lean heavily on these two stalwarts in what will be the initial championship tussle for each in the Red Raiders' stadium to- morrow. Center Meenehan is a 195-pounder, who has been showing well in his first season as a regular despite a shoulder injury. Quarterback Richardson, serving his fourth season, is a good passer and shines in backing up the line, despite weighing only 150 pounds.—Star Staff Photos. PREP TEAMS TRY FOR FIRST WINS, G. U.

As an example of the “brother- ly” spirit in collegiate competition, the University of Maryland will turn over its entire share of the receipts, minus bare expenses, to Western Maryland. The reason is that Maryland wants to help its sister institution build a new gymnasium. All the proceeds of the game will be added to a fund for the new build- ing on the Western Maryland campus at Westminster. i BY BILL DISMER, JR. TEPPING outside the rale of interprep school foot ball ecir- cles to seek their first victory of the season. Georgetown Prep and Friends, who fought to a 6-6 » last Friday. today were preparing to repel a pair of strong invaders com ing to their respective grid felds to morrow. At Garrett Park, Georgetown Prep will meel Loyola High of Baltimore, while Friends tackles the junior var- sity of Alexandria’s Episcopal High School on the Wisconsin avenue field. | They are the only two prep games scheduled for tomorrow, and only one other prep eleven will see action this week end. St. Albans goes to Phila- delphia on Saturday to meet the Church Farm School. | Garrett Parkers Weakened. | (CRIPPLED by the loss of fis two regular tackles, Dan Daly and Ed Cummings, G. U. Prep faces one of the leading high school teams of | Baltimore in a severely-weakened con- dition. Daly, a 180-pound bulwark on the left side of the line, cut his finger in the Friends’' game last week, and a slight infection has developed. Cum- mings is troubled by a crop of boils. ‘Their places will be taken by a pair of quiet-playing Cuban boys, Por- tuondo and Cuellar, both of whom will be seeing varsity competition for ' the first time. Coach Joe Gardner will have his ace back and captain, Elkin Franklin, in trim, however. Although weighing only 145 pounds, Gardner considers Frank- | lin one of the hardest line-smashers he ever has coached, and again will turn the bulk of the attack over to nis leader. Berwin Morse, center, and Reds Cullen, 140-pound guard. both of whom plaved heads-up foot ball last Friday, also are ready to go. WI’I‘H most of the Friends team in good shape, Bob Lyle will send his eleven onto the field with fairly bright | hopes of stopping Episcopal’s junior varsity. The power of the Eye Street- ers was revealed last week when they marched over 50 yards in a sustained drive to their first touchdown, with | Capt. Jim Smith leading the way from his quarterback position Lyle expects to send the same line- up into action tomorrow that started the opening game, with one exception. Charley Wannan, the triple-threat son of the school's director, may start at | & halfback post instead of John | Gwynn, who is due to return to his old | position of guard. St. John's was to seek its second victory in seven years over Gonzaga today when the old rivals clashed at Benning Field.

VI TAMI BEACH, Fla., October 24. —Twelve-year-old Mary Hoer- ger, national diving champion, has her right leg in a cast because a small bone in the knee pulled away from the surrounding muscle. Her mother, Mrs. Fred Hoerger, said physicians believed the trouble, “not serious.” would be relieved by leaving the leg and knee in the cast for several weeks. “It will not affect her diving” . Hoerger said. == Anti-Games Propagandists Flayed by Brundage, Head | | of Committee. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, Octcber 24.—The ( United States positively will be represented in the 1936 Olympic games, Avery Brun- dage of Chicago, president of the American Olympic Association and | chairman of the American Olympic Committee, said today in a bristling statement in reply to opponents of this country’s participation in the games. “The Olympic games bzlong to the| athletes and not to the politictans.” his statement said. “Knowing the temper of the true sport leaders and of the amateur athletes of this country who are unanimous on this subject, I say positively that there will be teams representing the United States in the 1936 games. The sportsmen of this country will not tolerate the use of | clean American sport as a vehicle to| transplant Old World hatreds to the United States. “In accepting the invitation to com- pete in the 1936 Olympic games, the American Olympic Committee, like the | Olympic Committees of 48 other na- | tions which have accepted, does not indorse the policies of any government. ‘The committee considered nothing but sport and its requirements. Purely Sports Affair. “GERMANY'S political policy within or without its borders has no bearing on the subject. The commit- | tee only followed the universal and unbroken Olympic precedent of 40 years and ignored irrelevant political, racial and religious affairs. Attempts to twist and distort the unanimous decision of the committee into an in- | dorsement of the Nazi policies are | nothing but barefaced effrontery. “The American Olympic Commit- tee, composed of representatives of more than 70 leading amateur sport organizations, after fully investigating all charges and after due deliberation, accepted unanimously the invitation to participate in these games. “These men, most of whom for many years, without remuneration, Most 5c cigars are nation of tobaccos. and money to this cause, know the best interests of amateur sport and have in mind the prestige of the United States. They will never allow our athletes to be made ‘martyrs to a cause not their own,’ or amateur sport to be sacrificed to a political is- sue. The American Olympic Com- mittee is the only organization which has authority to deal with the repre- sentation of the United States in the Olympic games. “As a result of hundreds of re- quests, the American committee is publishing a 16-page pamphlet cov- ering the entire Olympic situation,” Brundage's statement continued.

One Army player and two Hilltoppers were ruled off the field for unnecessary roughness. Had the battle lasted another min- ute, Wall of Georgetown would have been banished for slugging, for he sailed into the Army center in full view of the spectators. Gormley, Georgetown's right tackle, bit a hole ¢ McEwan's arm during the last quarter. Catholic U. defeated Villanova, 10-6, in a game of clever and ex- citing plays.
