SPORTS Many Chances Blown by All-Stars : Howell Schools as Grid Coach As Grid Pros Downed College All-Stars PASS UP OPENINGS FOR4 OR 5 SCORES Pro-Collegian Issue for 1936 Settled by 12-2 Win of Paid Team. BY PAUL MICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, September 9.—Dale Burnett, former pride of the Kansas prairies, and big Ed Danowski, who used to carry the mail for Fordham have taken care of the=vollege-pro- Zessional foot ball argument for 1936. ‘With their New York Giant mates opening the door for them, the two flashy backfleld hands applied the clincher to the pro side of the argu- ment before 30,555 fans at the Polo ‘Grounds last night by defeating the College All-Stars, 12 to 2, the largest margin of triumph since the college- pro series started two years ago. As their all-star rivals fumbled away precious chances and out- smarted themselves with costly ma- neuvers Danowski twice threw un- erring passes to Burnett for the win- ning touchdowns. Crosses Up All-Stars, IN ‘THE second period he crossed up the All-Stars by dropping back to the 10-yard stripe in enemy territory and throwing a bullet-like peg to Burnett for the first touchdown of the game. Midway in the fourth period he tossed another perfect pass to his star receiver that was good for 82 yards and the clinching touch- down. In addition Burnett, product of Emporia State Teachers' College, broke up several plays while Danow- ski directed the Giants in superb fashion and booted long, accurate kieks that upset the strategy of the stars. The All-Stars, favored because of their 7-all tie against the Detroit Lions, 1935 National League cham- pions, at Chicago last week, spent most of their time in Giant territory. ‘They easily outplayed the profes- sionals, but fumbles, mental lapses and a superior Giant line spelled defeat. Instead of the four or five touch- dowas they might have scored, they had to be content with a second pe- Tiod safety, tallied when Wayne Mill- mer, former Notre Dame end, blocked ‘Tony Sarausky’s punt, the ball carom- ing through the end zone. Leeman’s Drive Fruitless. SO FURIOUS and yet fruitless was the All-Star attack that on separ- ate sallies they reached the Giants’ 35, 25, 23, 18, 15, 8 and even 3 yard lines without pushing the ball over. The big chance, offered when Mill- ner blocked and recovered Danowski’s punt on the Giant 20 in the third period gave the Stars their biggest chance of the night. With Alphonse (Tuffy) Leemans of George Washington doing most of the ground gaining, they ploughed through to the enemy 3-yard stripe. But, with a touchdown in sight, they sud- denly changed their tactics for a hfinl passing game and were stopped cold. ‘The Collegians were on the 8-yard Yine, changing from ground-gaining line charges again, when the game ended. Last night's victory gave the. pro- fessionals a clear edge over the All- stars in flve games played, two of which have been won by the pros, as #gainst one loss and two ties. N. Smith, Min: Karcher.

He has made at least one trip to the bay each week, but the closest he has come to seeing a blue was in a restau- rant. Trout and rock we have with us still, and the trout are being taken in fair quantities fishing the bottom and using crab for bait. There is one excellent bait which isn't used much around here because it is diffi- cult to get fresh, and that is cut squid. Rock don't mind a little fresh water | mixed with their salt diet, and that T | may be the reason they are schooling in the Patuxent and Potomac. When the rock season opened every angler went after them with the Junebug spinner and bloodworm, but more and more varieties of baits have been put in use and some of them are getting good results. Among the good lures are the silver minnow, small feather and spinner, Heddon ace and several varieties of spoons and pork rind baits. Few Blues Found in Potomac. IN FORMER years blues could be found for some distance up the Potomac, but have not showed up in any number this season. There are one or two good spots, though, and if the lucky angler could find them he would make a nice haul. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Crawford and Edgar Baum spent two days going over the area between Solomons Island and Reeds- ville, but had no luck until late the second day. They had gone into Lewesette, Va., on the Potomac across from St. Georges Island, for bait, and were told that blues could be caught near there. They were almost too late to get any, but contrived to boat seven weighing 2 to 4 pounds. Boatmen there claim that large schools have been breaking wa- ter every morning and evening for the past week. Lewesette is not a sport-fishing port because it is almost unknown to anglers, but commercial men are catching plenty of the 3 to 8 pounders in their nets. There is a plentiful supply of bait and chum to be had at reasonable prices, according to Gor- don. Outlook at Nearby Resorts. Hm is the fishing round-up and ower H J. P.

BY JOHN LARDNER. EW YORK, September 9.— Foot ball players, like booze, improve with age. The very mature and very professional New York Giants, who have been mellowing in the keg for years and years since they left the campus, succeeded in outwaiting and outwit- ting a great team of college all-stars on this arc-lighted pasture last night, and won their ball game, 12 to 2. The running, passing, hustling hero of the game, from almost every point of view, was a young man named Alphonse Leemans, justly referred to speare’s place in the threat spot, left halfback, Tuffy was dynamite. He conducted the All-Stars’ lone scoring charge almost single-handed and no- body could say it was Tuffy’s fault when that charge stopped dead on the Giant’s 3-yard line. By a quirk of chance, Leemans went straight from the ball game to the Giant club house and became an official member of the team he tried to lick. He will play with the Gisnts all this Autumn and, if he goes on sparkling as he did last night, he ‘will as “Tuffy” by his schoolmates at George Washington University.

Special Dispatch to The Star. | AMP LETTS, Md., Septeniber | 9.—Nine of the 11 positions on George Washington's 1936 foot ball team will be left open until the first game of the season | against Emory and Henry on Septem- ber 25, according to Head Coach Jim Pixlee who has uncovered but one | apparently “sure” bet in the first three days of practice here. While Dale Prather, 210-pound regular tackle last year, had a stranglehold on that berth before camp opened, a new figure has cap- | tured the imagination of the Colonial coaches at the other tackle post. He is Stan Grvavaz, a sophomore from Los Angeles, who appears destined to be at the other tackle when G. W. opens its campaign. . None of the other positions will be closed to the large-army of candidates until just before the curtain-raiser, Pixlee said. Two developments have brightened the Colonial camp considerably. One is the fact that Herb Reeves, the half- | back who was bitten by a “mad dog” recently, appears none the worse from | the wound, and the other is the im- | pressive punting of Nig Tihila, 200- pound reserve back last year. Tihila's | spirals were getting distance as well as direction from the junior’s toe this morning. Moving pictures of the squad in ac- tion will be shown in Washington theaters at an early date. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. OBERT GRAHAM, who man- ages the destinies of the Fair- fax Horse Show each Fall, has announced that Col. Thomas J. Johnson and Dr. Robert Humphries will judge the hunter and jumper classes at that meeting on Saturday, while Horace Moffet and Albert Ash- ton will be the pony judges. Of the 18 events listed seven are devoted to the younger riders, while the remainder include the customary line-up=ladies’ hunters, middle and heavyweight, lightweight, hunter hacks, etc. In the conformation divi- sion 40 per cent will be scored for that quality, 60 per cent for perform- ance. 5 Mr. Graham also wishes it known that the Fairfax hunt class, in which conditions state “for members of the hunt and residents of Fairfax County,” means strictly for horses owned and ridden by those persons, although the limitation is not specifically stated. In other words s hunt member or Fairfax County resident may not ride horses belonging to owners from other countles or hunts. Fm FADELEY continues to be the Sir Galahad of local horse shows, having gallantly waived his second championship within & month at the Laurel meeting on Labor day. A gracious gesture is all too rare when horses meet to do battle in the ring, and those who witnessed ’s knight errantry at the final Riding and Hunt Club exhibition (when he decided that the grand hunter cham- pionship was enough and conceded the open jumping tricolor to another owner with whom he was tied) spec- ulation on the probability that the squire of Moorland Lane eventually would become infected with the eye- AUTO | HEATERS SALES AND SERVICE LS UMIEN e TANBARK~~TURE 13y for-an-eye spirit that too often dominates his favorite sport. If this virus is some day to spread to the Fadeley stable, at least it has not done so to date. When his Lacquer Lady and Mrs, A. J. Carabelli’s Sun Gleam tied for championship honors in Maryland this week, he was im- mediately forthcoming with the sug- gestion that Miss Haberman should receive the trophy and ribbons. And you may be sure that news of these events reaches reporters only after they go prying around to check up on point scores and whatnot. A whole carload of laurel wreaths to Fadeley. * %k x IT MAY interest some of our steeple- chase fans already casting an eye toward the renewal of that sport hereabouts to hear that John M. Schiff’s indomitable Indigo turned out to be domitable as heck at the West- chester County races this week. One- to-two favorite in a fleld of four horses Indigo ran dead last, beaten even by the erratic Corn Dodger. Randy Duffey of Middleburg won the race with Mrs. George Bostwick’s Fugitive, which he seems to have brought back to form once again, simply waltsing aWway from the re- mainder of the fleld. After the long lay-off necessitated by a tendon in- jury last Spring the experts seemed to think Indigo was not the fit horse his handlérs had believed him to be. BOWLING TEAMS SOUGHT.

ALEXANDER HAPPY AT GEORGIA TECH Coach Is Looking for Best Team Since Rose Bowl Eleven of 1928. (This is one of a series of stories on prospects of Southeastern Con- Jerence foot ball teams.) By the Associated Press. TLANTA, September 9.—There was a touch of optimism in the words William A. Alexan- der used to describe the foot ball situation at Georgia Tech. ‘The discussion of prospects by the veteran cqach of Golden Tornado teams hinted of the most cheerful outlook since the Rose Bowl cham- plonship eleven of 1928. “There is no doubt,” said Alexander, “but that we should be better than last year. Most of our regulars are re- serves and are back with a year of ex- perience. Our sophomores were good last season and should be better equipped for this year's campaign.” Sticks to “Rarzle-dazzle.” TECH'S going to continue the “raz- | zle-dazzle” style of play inaugu- Tated at the flats last Fall, meaning there’ll be plenty of passing of all de- scriptions, forward laterals and the like. The squad is well equipped at all positions. Nine veterans returned from the backfield, all of whom played regularly last season. The line, rein- forced by newcomers from the fresh- man eleven, apparently has no weak spots. ‘Tech schedule: September 25, Presbyterian at Atlanta (ng;uh 3.

A NNAPOLIS, September 9.—Tom Hamilton and his helpers have | considerably broadened the work of their Navy foot ball charges and groups of the squad now are en- gaging in dummy scrimmage and for- mation drills on attack and defense. Sneed Schmidt and Prank Case, the two regular backs of last sea- son, who remain on the squad, should keep their places in the first-string quartet, barring accident, but com- petition for the places vacated by Dick Pratt and Tommy King, who were graduated, is keen. A good bet for one of the vacancies is Bob Antrim, powerful and active 190-pounder, now in his second sea- | son on the varsity squad. Besides carrying the ball, Antrim passes and receives well, blocks and is a power- | ful defense player. Other promising backs are Tom Edwards, Bill Ingram, Charley Reiman, | Newell Thomas, Rabbitt Rankin and !

SIDE from blocking, which Howell was seldom called upon to do, it is doubtful if a better backfield man than Dixie ever trod turf. Stanford, as’ well as those who saw the Rose Bowl game of 1933 between 'Bama and the Indians, never will forget his superfine heaving, mainly to Hutson, the great end, in which eight out of | eight passes were completed, includ- ing one which resulted in a touch- down over 60 yards of gridiron.
