Bpecial Dispatch to The Star, ANNAPOL!S, Md., September 12.— For the first time this season the Navy varsity scrimmaged this after- noon under near match conditions, working against the powerful plebe team and squad B and giving a hint of the tentative varsity line-up. ‘The backfield was made up of Sneed Schmidt, last year's ace; Bob Antrim, 190-pounder; Charley Rei- mann and Tom Watson, the latter taking the place of Frank Case, who rested today. John Miller was at cen- ter, flanked by Capt. Rivers Morrell and Ray Dubois in guard posts, Duke Ferrara and Dave Sloan at the tackles and Zeke Soucek and Heber at the ends. The line averaged just over 190 pounds, a big figure for a Navy line, but was faced by an almost equally large plebe line, while Al Berner, 125- tackle, was shifted to the backfield, where he backed up center. Schmidt ran strongly and punted well, while nAtrim showed good punt handling. One piece of mid-season play was put over when Antrim in- tercepted a plebe pass and was im- mediately tackled.. However, he fiipped the ball to Schmidt, who ran clear of the plebes for a touchdown. Reimann, an unbreakable lad who came to the fore late last year, held down & backfield post with the first combination, playing in the safety ition. Poick Echaeffer ffom Ohlo and Ul- mont Whitehead of Connecticut ran well in the plebe backfield, .DODGERS RECALL SIX Eisenstadt, Allentown Pitcher, to Report Immediately.

PRO GRID LEAGUE INAUGURAL TODAY Six of Nine National Loop Teams Clash in First Games of Season. By \hie Assoctated Press. EW YORK, September 12— Bolstered by new playing tal- ent recruited from the Na- tion’s colleges, the National Professional Foot Ball League will open its fourteenth season tomorrow with inaugurals in Green Bay, Wis.; Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Furnishing the opposition at Green Bay will be the Chicago Cardinals, who beat the formidable Packers three times last year. Pittsburgh will play Boston Red Skins, while at Philadel- phia the Eagles will play host to the New York Giants, defending Eastern division title-holders. ‘The surprising interest shown in the pre-season contests in which the Giants and the Detroit ®Lions, na- tional and Western sectional title- holders, opposed all-star collegiate arrays, led Joe Carr, league president, to predict an even more prosperous season than last year which was the best in the circuit’s history, League Make-up Unchanged. 'OR the third successive year, the league will get under way with the same set of clubs that finished the previous campaign. New York’s rivals in the Eastern section will be Phila- delphia, Bostcn, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn. Detroit’s Western section rivals will be the Chicago Bears, the Cardinals and Green Bay. Many of 1935's college luminaries have caught on with one or the other of the nine teams in the league. These include Harry “the horse” Mattos of St. Mary’s, Cal Clemens, Southern California tackle, and Bernie Scherer, Minnesota end, with Green Bay; Riley Smith, Alabama quarterback and Wayne Milner, Notre Dame end, with Boston; Dave Smukler, Temple, and Don Jackson, North Carolina, with Philadelphia. Baltimore Shoe Owens’ Method Called Old Stuff By the Associated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mich.—To Track Coach Charles B. Hoyt of the University of Michigan the “hold- your-breath” method that helps Jesse Owens run faster is nothing new. Before Owens departed for the Olympics he confided he won so often because he held his breath before thé finishing sprint. His “secret” became public property after he monopolized the sprints at Berlin. Coach Hoyt, advancing the point that “tremendous physical effort is naturally accompanied by the holding of the breath,” says most crack sprinters “don’t breathe at all during the 100-yard dash.” “They take a deep breath just before the gun is fired,” he ex- plains, “and do not breathe again until the race is over.” Owens, he insists, has “just too much of everything else.” 24-HOUR AUTO MARK SET BY ENGLISHMAN Cobb Speeds His Car at 150.1621 Miles Per Hour Over Salt Flats in Utah. By the Associated Press. ONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah, September 12.—John Cobb, race- loving London fur broker, set a new world 24-hour motor car speed record today—and shattered half a dozen minor marks along the way. His unofficial average speed for the gruelling run, aided by three relief drivers, was 150.1621 miles per hour | N as contrasted with the former record of his countryman, Capt. George E. T.

Y, Septem- ber 12.—Templeton, run- ner-up for the national open polo championship, won the Monty Waterbury Memorial Cup tournament today by defeating Roslyn, 14 to 13, in the final match at the Meadow Brook Club. Green- tree, the open winner, did not par- ticipate. Michael Phipps, No. 1 for Temple- ton, suffered an jnjured wrist when struck by Eric Tyrrell-Martin's mallet in the seventh period. Roberto Cav- anagh of the Argentine international squad replaced him. Roslyn’s Defense Good. TEMPLETON, led by Winston Guest, had to give his brother Raymond’s Roslyn quartet a seven-goal handicap and was barely able to overcome that margin. Roslyn played a fine defen- sive game and it wasn’t until the sev- enth chukker that the well balanced Templeton side was able to tie the score at 12-12. A 60-yard free hit by Stewart Iglehart put Templeton ahead for the first time at the end of the seventh. A goal by Dunbar Bostwick tled the count again as the eighth period started.

PUTS L. S. U. IN FRONT. Auburn, . Ala. (P)—Coach Jack GAVE UP FIGHTING WHEN A STARAT 14 Started as Pro, Returns as Amateur, Now Is Rated as Bane of Ross. . BY BURTON HAWKINS, RUGGED welterweight, ranked fourth best in his division, who, at the request of his parents, quit fighting 10- round feature bouts at the tender ring age of 14, only to run away from home two years later to resume his beak-busting career, will stack up against Phil Furr, District 147-pound champion, in a feature 10-round scrap tomorrow night at Griffith Stadium. Jimmy Leto, who was obtained as an opponent for Furr when Jack Portney, -Baltimore belter, refused to 0 through with a scheduled 20-round argument with the local larruper, vir- tually stepped from the cradle into the punching pit. It was a natural step, however, Jimmy's three brothers and two sis- ters all have been dependent upon the boxing game. Brothers Pete and Tony were outstanding featherweights a decade ago, while Joe is a manager. Tony for years was ranked as the third best 126-pounder in the world, but missed his bid for the title when he faced Bat Battalino for the priv- ilege of meeting Andre Routis, then champion. Tony lost on a technical knockout to Battalino, who captured the title from Routis. Sisters Married Matmen. SIBTERS LENA AND FRANCIS both married fighters. Lena be- came the wife of Tony Lopez, who scored the first knockout here with 8-ounce gloves shortly after the le- galization of boxing in the District, thereby quelling protests that mittens of that weight were nothing more than pillows. Frances also married a featherweight, going to the altar with Baby Joe Guzman. It was natural, therefore, that Jim- my should turn to the ring as a means of livelihood. He started out as a professional and fought feature bouts shortly after he reached his 14th birthday. Jimmy Reed, whom many local fans remember from Twin City days, was knocked out by Leto In six rounds in one of those battles. His father and mother finally per- suaded Jimmy to leave the ring, but it was only temporarily. Two years later he started out all over again, this time as an amateur fist-slinger in Hart- ford, Conn. That he has been successful in his ring ramblings is evidenced by his present ranking position and the fact that Barney Ross, world welterweight champion, repeatedly has refused to meet Leto in either a title or over- the-weight bout. Bridgeport (Conn.) Ppromoters offered Ross $10,000 to face Leto there in a non-title encounter, but the offer was snubbed. Ross fought PFurr here for half that sum, Respected by Champion. ARNEY, during his conditioning campaign here for Furr, admitted that he would not consider Leto as an opponent for his title for less than $50,000. Leto, whose fighting style 1s a duplication of Ross’, is ranked by the champion as the best among the challengers for his crown. It was Al Weil, his present manager, who first recognized Leto's possibilities as title timber. Well had implicit faith in Lou Ambers, recently crowned lightweight champion by his victory over Tony Canzoneri, and when Leto dropped Lou for a nine count two years ago while holding Ambers to a draw, Weil knew that Jimmy was a good fighter. He bought Jimmy’s con- tract immediately after that engage- ment and Ambers and Leto now are stablemates. Preliminary action will see Shorty Ahearn, the dusky fist-flipper who halted the knockout streak of Killer Lamar, trading blows with Al Tinsley, Baltimore colored heavyweight, and Buddy Scott, local light-heavy, mixing mittens with Rusty Baker of Balti- more in the most promising of four six-rounders. Other bouts will find Roddy Davls, local welterweight, stacking up against Johnny Bellaus, & stablemate of Leto, and Victor Vallee, New York light- weight, launching punches at Billy Bullock, shifty local lad. Action will get under way at 8:30 o'clock. ROCKY MOUNT EVENS UP. DURHAM, N.

C. Horseshoe Mark : Lato Has Singular Ring Career A.A.U. Wor’t Lift Owen’s Ban Though Sprint Star Declares He Never Sig BY ALAN GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, September 12— ‘The record-smashing prowess of Jesse Owens, America’s four-time Olympic gold med- alist, was not sufficient today to carry him past the barriers of suspension, with which he is currently sur- rounded, in a sudden attempt to gain reinstatement for amateur foot-rac- ing competition. Sought as headliner for the Cale- donian games, to be held next Thurs- day night in the Yankee Stadium, the famous Negro Olympic star de. cided that all the talk about his turn- ing professional was a mistake or a misunderstanding. He denied flatly that he had signed a commercial contract, produced testimony to back up thi# assertion, and announced his primary purpose now was to regain his simon-pure standing, discard all ideas of “cashing in” on his Olympic fame, and shortly return to finish his college career at Ohio State. All this sudden change of heart and intentions by Owens, combined with pressure brought to bear by track meet promoters and Ohio A. A. U. officials, failed to alter the fact that the “Brown Bullet” remains under suspension on two distinct counts. These comprise (1) auto- matic suspension, for an indefnite period, for “running out” on an agreement to compete with an Amer- ican team of Olympic stars in Swe- den, and (2) equally automatic sus- pension, for a period of one year, for publicly proclaiming his purpose to turn professional. Reinstatement is Checked. ON THE strength of developments indicating Owens actually did not sign a contract to commercialize his Olympic fame, James A. Lee of Cleveland, secretary of the North- eastern Ohio A. A. U, promptly an- nounced the reinstatement of Jesse, to take effect immediately. Treated “Unfairly,” Says Jess. OWENS expressed his willingness to run, in defiance of the A. A. U, and charged he was being treated “unfairly.” The Negro athlete’s claim that’ he had been released from obligations to compete in Sweden, also his denial that he seriously entertained profes- sional propositions, failed to tally with the facts in possession of Ferris. “Jesse came to me personally, in Berlin, and asked to be sent to Sweden,” said Ferris. “In addition, his coach, Larry Snyder, agreed to manage the team. Furthermore, Swedish authorities have wired me| positively they did not release Owens and that, in fact, they rejected a pro- posal that two athletes (Foy Draper and Sam Francis) be substituted for Owens on the trip.” Ferris added: “It seems to me en- tirely too much wire-pulling is being done just to enable Owens to compete in & meet being run by professional promoters. If Owens is really sincere in trying to gain reinstatement and continue in amateur competition, he can apply for a hearing and take the steps calculated to clear himself. So far he has not done so or offered any real evidence to show that his suspen- sion, on either charge, was unjustified.” Only the Foreign Relations Commit- tee of the A. A. U, of which Avery Brundage, A. A. U. president, is chairman, can decide whether to lift Owens’ suspension for not going to Sweden. Brundage is not due back from Europe until late this month. Lee advised Daniel J. Ferris, execu- tive secretary of the National A. A. U., of this action, but forthwith received the following reply: “Neither you nor I nor anybody else has the authority to reinstate Owens until one year has elapsed, under the provisions of rule 6, section 13 of the A. A. U. gen- eral rules.” The wording of this rule specifies that “public announcement by an at! lete of his determination to become a professional * * * automatically dis- qualifies such athlete from further amateur competition. The Registra- tion Committee of the association in which such athlete is or was registered THE RIGHT TIME WITH A SCHICK ned Pro Papers at the time of making the announce« ment, is empowered to reinstate such offender at the expiration of one year, provided he has not actually partici- pated as a professional or otherwise rendered himself ineligible.” ‘This means, Ferris pointed out, that regardless of whether Owens signed a professional contract, the mere state~ ment of his intentions, publicly, disa, qualified him for the period of a year, Pro Ballyhoo Puzzles. JWST what happened to the well- ballyhooed plans for Owens to turn pro or what prompted his sudden change of front on the subject re- mained a bit mysterious. Jésse ine sisted he discarded the whole idea when he learned, definitely, that any commercialization of his reputation, with or without actual foot-racing competition, would end his amateur career, The theatrical man with whom he negotiated, Marty Forkins, insisted no contracts ever were signed, despite announcement on September 1 that they had been, and that Owens would embark on a professional career not later than September 14, “It's all & mistake,” said Owens. “I want to keep my standing as an amateur.” “Owens came to me, prepared to sign a contract, but never actually did s0,” said Forkins. “He told me this week it was all off, because he did not want to lose his amateur status.” Meanwhile sponsors of the Cales donian games challenged the A. A. U, and talked about starting Owens, without sanction. They reconsidered, however, after being told by Ferris that it would mean every amateur athlete participating would automati- cally be disqualified. Among the stars entered are the American 1,500-meter trio, Glenn Cunningham, Archie Sam Romani and Gene Venzke, and other Olympic stars. Marty Glickman, who lost his place on the Olympic 400-meter relay team to Owens, is a sprint entry. “We probably will go through with the meet, whether or not Owens par= ticipates,” said James Hoey, the die rector. Backers of the Caledonian games include the Twentieth Century Sporte ing Club, headed by Mike Jacobs. GERMAN AUTO UNION NOT TORACEIN U. S. Abandons Vanderbilt Cup Plans Because A. A. A.

Bv the Associzted Press. { JRERLIN, September 12.—The Ger- man Auto Union, which originally | had planned to send three cars after | the Vanderbilt Cup in the 400-mile race at the new Roosevelt raceway, New York, October 12, has decided it will not be represented in the intere national speed test.
