C—2 SPORTS. Griffith !?eady to CLINGS T0 MYER, POWELL, TRAVIS Will Rebuild Club Around| Them—Goes to Diamond BY FRANCIS E. STAN. LARK GRIFFITH, long famed ( but never on a Wwholesale scale, will lend receptive ears Nationals when the big-wigs of both mpjor leagues convene in Chicago This was indicated by the Wash- ington club president today as, in pre- ments for possible use in base ball's big annual verbal battle, Griffith de- team. “It may be a very gradual process,” certain to be so, but if any club owners are interested in my ball play- sonable I will be ready to do business. I am not saying every other player say that three are sure to wear Wash- ington uniforms next year—Buddy Positively this trio is not for dis- posal, averred Griffith, unless an offer which caused him to part with Joe Cronin a year ago is made, ‘will form the nucleus of my teams for the next several years I hope,” con- Mart Next Week. for his trading propensities to overtures for all except three of his December 10. paring arguments and counter argu- clared he was ready to rebuil‘d his ball Griff cautioned. “In fact, it is almost ers and their trade talk sounds rea- will be put on the block, but I will Myer, Cecil Travis and Jake Powell.” comparable to the magnitude of that “They—Myer, Travis and Powell— tinued Griff, ‘Three-Man Nucleus Lucky. (GRIFFITH apparently likes to toy with the idea of rebuilding his team around three or four men. “It's sort of like an omen, saying this,” he recalled. “As I remember it, this is the third time I've planned re- building & Washington team around three men. “In 1913, my first year here, I built e team around Clyde Milan, Walter Johnson and George McBride, We finished second that year and the| next and stayed in the first division two season after that. “In 1920, I think it was, I built a club around Joe Judge, Bucky Harris and Sam Rice. They were the nucleus of the 1924 and 1925 clubs.” So far in what Winter trade talk Pas taken place the Nationals have played a very minor part. Grifith admits that shortly after the season ended he was involved in some pre- Mminary negotiations with one or two clubs, the overtures having to do with ‘Washington outfielders in exchange for pitchers. Negotiations suddenly were dropped, however, and Griff had twiddled his thumbs since. Next week, though, when the three- day session opens in the Palmer House et Chicago, Griffith frankly doesn't expect to be doing any thumb-twid- dling. The undercurrent in the Amer- ican League front offices is that the Red Sox and Athletics have com- pleted the widely rumored Foxx- Cramer - Higgins - McNair movement and that when this formally is an- nounced, possibly next week, some- thing of a free-for-all is due among other clubs in attempts to add strength. Boston Needs Gardeners. JRECGARDLESS of whether the Bos- ton-Philadelphia transaction real- ly is to come about, the Nationals ar expected to be affected. It is felt in many base ball quarters that if Tom Yawkey fails to land Cramer from the Athletics he will dicker for the services of Heinie Manush, who is one of the Griffmen definitely on the block. The Red Sox outfield must be strengthened if the Beantown band is to be & serious contender for the pennant. If the Athletic-Red Sox deal is an- ounced during the Chicago conven- tion then it is belleved highly possible that other clubs, chiefly the Yanks, Indians and White Sox, will be inter- ested in one or two Washington play- ers. New York, needing another out- fielder, long has been interested in Roy wohnson of Boston and Manush and WJohnny Stone of the Griffmen. Cleveland, facing the necessity of | Feplacing Bruce Camppell, and, with | only untried rookies now at hand to| battle for the vacant outfield assign- ment, may be interested in a Wash- ington gardener. If the Chisox let Al Simmons go to Detroit, as popularly rumored, and, in return failed to grab an outfielder, then Jimmy Dykes also may be anx- dous to talk to Griff and Bucky Har- ris. Dykes needs pitchers. If Sim- mons is sold for cash and, perhaps, Gerald Walker, the White Sox may re- new interest in Earl Whitehill. If a pitcher or two is transferred from De- troit to Chicago in the event of a Sim- -mons deal then Dykes might well be interested in Manush, Stone or Fred Bchulte. At any rate, barring another mag- inanimous offer such as Yawkey's of last Fall you can expect Buddy Myer to play second base for Washington next season, weak pitching or no weak pitching. And you also can look for Travis and Powell in the line-up. BRADDOCK I.IOT INJURED EL PASO, December 4 () —Heavy- weight boxing champion James J.

Our athletes and patriotic sportsmen are showing the world that they will not be made martyrs to a cause not their own and cannot be handicapped by subversive influences.” Because of inadequate funds, Brun- dage said, the men's ski team had to be divided into three sections, accord- ing to ability. There was enough money for the first group's expenses. For the second group there was enough to pay part of the expense. There was | no money for the third section. “As a result,” Brundage said, “all ex- | cept one athlete selected have com- | pleted, by personal activity, the fund | needed for their expenses.

FAUROTS DO WELL INNEW GRID J0BS Don Succors Missouri, Fred | Keeps Up Brother’s Title Work at Kirksville. By the Associated Press. ANSAS CITY, December 4.— The Faurot brothers looked back with satisfaction today upon the foot ball season they started on two different kinds of | coaching “spots.” Brother Don was placed on the spot when he succeeded Frank Carideo at the University of Missouri. The Tigers had won only two games in three years, and they hadn't administered a big six conference defeat since 1932. Brother Fred found himself on an even tougher spot when he took his brother’s place ai the Kirksville, Mo., Teachers’ College. There Don’s teams had rolled up an impressive record of 26 straight victories and won three successive Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships. Play Three Tie Games. THE Missouri Tigers finished in a tie for last place this season, but they had an armful of glory in three tles with conference teams and three victories over non-circuit opponents. Over at Kirksville, Fred Faurot’s Teachers lost only one game, but it stopped the winnig streak at 27 and blasted chances of surpassing the 29- straight record set by Michigan. Kirksville fans, however, weren't downhearted. They had expected an- other championship and got it. Looking over the Missouri record, Don admitted: "g’n haven’t set the world on fire— “I said when I took this job last Spring that we'd be lucky to break even the first year. Well, we broke even, but not quite as I expected.” Every One Is Pleased. AND there was every evidence that Faurot was not alone in his grati- fication at the first year of his regime. Letter files at both university ath- letic and publications’ offices bulge with congratulatory messages received since the end of the season.

ROBABLY the best prep school teams of the District of Co- lumbia and Virginia will be meeting at the Municipal Sta- dium in Richmond on Saturday, de- spite the fact that both have been de- feated twice during the 1035 cam- paign. . | Devitt and Fork Union, rivals in the American Legion-sponsored game, are | such standout elevens that both have been recognized as the leaders in scho- lastic circles of their respective terri- tories, with many hailing the Virginia gridmen as one of the best prep school teams in the East. Neither has been beaten by & prep school eleven this year. Devitt's only two losses came at the hands of Cen- tral, interhigh champion, and the Franklin and Marshall Academy. Fork. Union's setbacks came from a college freshman eleven and the Naval Train- ing Station team of Norfolk. Devitt in Good Trim. ONLY a slight cold of Bill Cleveland, halfback from Rockville, stands between the Devitt squad and perfect condition. Cleveland will be ready for action on Saturday, however, possibly getting in a few practice licks before boarding the bus for Richmond. This week, by the way, marks the first time the Jim McNamara-coached squad has been on the fleld in two weeks, 'The small squad took a bad physical beating in its game with Franklin and Marshall and McNamara prescribed nothing but a long rest for all of his men. Fit again and eager for combat, the dozen and a half play- ers are working with all the zest that only an important sectional contest can arouse. How prolific & scorer is Adam Zin- kievich, Devitt’s all-prep fullback, is shown by the record, which reveals that, even though he was out of two games, “Zink” himself averaged as many touchdowns per contest as the whole team averaged all season. His contribution of 48 points to Devitt's total of 75 mot only gives him the credit for over half of his team's points, but also a ratio of more than | two touchdowns per game.

Saturday’s game between Maryland and Western Mary- land in the Baltimore Stadium will bring in a large sum of money, which will be used to build a modern fleld house. The money realized from the game— the total receipts less Federal tax— will go into a field-house fund. What- | ever amount is lacking to make the | total needed will be raised swiftly, col- lege leaders declare. The fleld house is to be built at once. And when the fleld house is built it is proposed to inaugurate it with a big athletic meet between Maryland and Western Maryland teams. Then, later, it is planned t» invite the Eastern col- legiate boxing champlonships to West- ern Maryland. The grid teams appear to be on a 50-50 basis for Saturday’s engagement, which is expected to attract 25,000 or more fans. Campbell Great Passer. TT IS generally agreed that offensive- < ly Maryiand, with Bill Guckeyson, has & more versatile team. Western Maryland's greatest weapon is Sun- urally, the Terps are working on a defense for that all this week. Defensively the Terrors need to give | ground to no opponent, They have faced good teams and have yielded ground grudgingly. Line buckers have failed to make much dent in the Ter- ror forward wall. But on sweeps and off-tackle runs some yardage has been gained. The Terrors also have been adept in pass defense. Opponents have tossed many balls, but few of them were com- pleted for any amount of gain. Maryland has the edge in menpower and its running game is superior. ‘Western Maryland has s slight edge in defense and a better passing attack.
