B—9 Rough Riders Spirited, but Green : Coaching Mortality Up to Par —By JIM BERRYMAN|(;, W. Squad, Fit and Spirited, Returns Home Today Looking To Opening Clash on Friday GRID HOLES YAWN Roosevelt Apparently Again to Trail in High School Championship Race. BY BURTON HAWKINS. OCKED by the twin evils of green material and the illness of Lynn Woodworth, head coach, Roosevelt's firm but un- willing grasp on the cellar spot in the acholastic foot ball series again spparently is as safe as Johnny Weissmuller in a bath tub. With eight regulars missing from the last-place 1935 club, Herman Littman, acting head coach, and Sid Kolker and Phil Fox, his assistants, are confronted with the perplexing problem of filling those gaps with capable performers from a squad of 80 spirited and ambitious, but never- theless inexperienced lads. Despite their rather hopeless pre- dicament, however, the Rough Riders are imbued with a spirit and determi- nation that eclipses the zeal thus far displayed by Central, Tech, Western and Eastern squads. They're all will- ing to learn and Littman undoubtedly will present a scrappy, heads-up, even though outclassed club. Long Absence for Woodworth. 'OODWORTH will not be able to b take over the reins for at least three weeks. He now is confined to Mount Alto Hospital suffering wth erysipelas and streptococcic infection, which he contracted from a slight cut on the head received in France sev- eral weeks ago. In the meantime Littman, Fox, Woodworth's substitutes, and Kolker, former crack tackle and guard for Tech High and George Washington ‘University, have plucked some promis- ing pigskinners from the conglomera- tion of sweat shirts, hiding fat, lean, lanky and stubby frames that have trotted on the feld for a week. Heading the fight for the flank po- sitions left vacant by Spero Kolius and Francis Beamer, both of whom have entered the University of Mary- land, are Bill Hammett, Charles Bar- tenstein and Oliver Atkinson. It was the play of Beamer and Kolius last season that prevented opposing teams from ‘rolling up prohibitive scores. The graduation of Frank Witt and Lou Hayman has left sizable holes at tackle posts, with Joe Kolker, brother of Sid, Bob Webster and Carl Veiten- thal now looming as the most likely candidates in a battle for starting berths. Guard Berths Provoke Scrap. ED BURCH, Johnny Chaconas, Reds Green, Bill Bateman, Eddie Vasvary and Buddy Rich are waging & merry scrap for the guard assign- ments, while Bernard MacDonald and Arthur Miller are candidates for the center spot left vacant by the loss of Jakie Lewis. Capt. Billy Richards heads a corps of backfleld hopefuls, three of whom have seen some series action. Dutch Kolimyer, who, with Richards, will inherit the bulk of pass-flipping duty; Loyal Grimm and Truman Lancaster are other dependables, although Billy and Charley Smith or Irving Fine may supplant any of the above quartet. Jake Fleischmann, 200-pound full- back, has transferred to Tech and has been shifted to tackle by Coach Hap Hardell, while Dick Grant, half- ‘back, collected his sheepskin last June, as did Joe Bovello. Herbert Mingin is managing the team, with Raymond Katz and Toddy Lagos as his assistants. Roosevelt's eight-game schedule fails to include a trip, all of the fol- Jowing games except one interhigh fray, being slated for Roosevelt Sta- dium: October 9, Bullis; 16, Gon- gaga; 20, Western at Western; 30, Fastern; November 4, St. John's; 10, Central; 16, George Washington High; 20, Tech. BERLINSKI ‘CARRIES’ 'N. C. STATE ELEVEN Gets Both Touchdowns as Elon Is Beaten, 12-0—Punting Big Aid to Losers. Ey the Associated Press. RALEIGH. N. C., September 19.— A plodding N. C. State College foot ball team, paced by flashy Eddie Berlinski, defeated Elon in business- like fashion, 12-0, at Riddick Stadium this afternoon. A coatless crowd of 5000 saw the contest. Berlinski scored both touchdowns, the first in the second quarter on & wide end run from Elon’s 7-yard line, and the second in the next period on ® 51-yard run through center. State played straight foot bell, try- ing only seven forward passes, no laterals and few tricks. Elon used defensive tactics, relying on the line drives and punts of James Abbitt, hard-hitting fullback, to get them out of trouble. Abbitt's seven punts averaged 45 yards each. PARSONS TOPS SHOOT Bcores After Deadlocking With Eight Others at Club. Tied with eight others at the end of the regulation shoot, Dr, A. V. Parsons yesterday won the shoot-off in the added target contest for the silver trophy given ‘weekly at the Washington Gun Club. He nosed out R. D. Morgan by one target on the 25-yard mark. In the second event for the Hunter- Wilson three months' trophies five sontestants were credited with wins when they each broke 23. They were Dr. J. H. Lyons, R. P. Livesey, H. H. . E. J. Britton and H. M. Bingham. Two visitors, Messrs. Walker and Hardin, at the traps for the first time, broke 42 and 39, respectively.

From all indications Coach Dutch Bergman has every reason to feel that his kickers, whether they be punters, point-after-touchdown aces, fleld goal booters, or what, he is well fortified. In the punting department he has such spiralists as Speck Foley and Max Brinkman, the rival quarter- backs from Tech High; Dix Walker, another quarterback; Irish Carroll, Bob Makofske, Joe Glodeck and Burke Vidnovic, sophomore back. Of course, Foley leads the group. He was red hot all last season and has improved greatly this year. He has been averaging 65 yards. Makofske proved thoroughly reli- able last year when it comes to punt- ing a soggy ball. It was his great booting against Duquesne and North Caroling State: which ultimately won those two important games, Fine, Quick Kicker. WALKm is a fine, quick kicker and Vidnovic has proved, too, that he has an educated toe. Carroll has been getting off some fine spirals of late. One of the sophomore leaders is PFrank Cairo, a tackle, whose main forte is his field goal booting, which mhy play a big part in the C. U. scoring this Fall. During his senior year in prep school he won no less than five games for Steelton, Pa, High by his spectacular boots from the feld, including the E. P. L. A. A, championship game from Williams- port, not one of which was inside the 28-yard line. During practice he has been showing up in great style. He is a big boy, scaling 210 pounds and standing 6 feet 1. Cairo is equally adept at making points after touchdown and just the other day kicked 25 straight. Dur- ing his senior year in high school he kicked 48 points after touchdown in 51 tries. Other players who are given a turn at the extra point try and who have been showing up well include Ma- kofske, Bull Gorman, Leo Katalinas, Carroll, and Sully Greco, Schmarr Can Dropkick. IN CAPT. HERMIE SCHMARR, the Cards have an excellent dropkicker. He has been showing up well dring the drills. During the past week the team got by minus serious injury. Heavy work will continue the coming weék. Two- a-day drills will continue all week, after which the team will taper off for the opener with Shenandoah Col- lege in the C. U, Stadium, October 3. V.

EAMMATES at La Salle Mili- tary Academy, Bill Valiquette, blocking back, and John Flem- ing, crack end, are the only sophomores likely to crash George- town's starting line-up when the Hoyas clash with Delaware at Griffith Stadium on October 3. Valiquette, 185-pounder, is a deadly blocker and apparently rather would clear a path for a teammate than lug | the oval. In scrimmages the former all-Long Island prep school selection has captured the approval of Coach Jack Hagerty with his clean, but fero- cious, blocking. Fleming, the Hoyas’ most consistent booter, is & 6-foot 1-inch, 190-pound flankman who has risen from medioc- rity to the role of potential star. While Fleming's kicking was one of the bright spots of the freshman eleven’s repertoire last year, Johnny could do little else. His work at end was ordinary. This season Hagerty contemplated shifting Fleming to tackle, but then decided to give the towering lad another opportunity at the post he played for the prep school. Fleming, incidentally, also was an all-Long Island prep school choice. Johnny has developed into an excellent pass receiver and blocker and has proved highly capable on defense. Elmer Moulin, 165-pound candidate for Tom Keating's quarterback post; Jim Hill, an aggressive 190-pound guard, and Lefty Riofski, striving to edge out Red Hardy for the center berth, are other sophomores who are conceded a chance to grab a starting assignment.

Page, Egnell, J. De Armey, brother of Frank; Males, Weidinger and Meade are the rookies on the second combination. The De Armeys have played side by side in a number of scrimmages. Headley Going Strong. ONLY Guckeyson and Wheeler of those named have failed to get into the scrimmages, both being re- tarded by slight injuries. However, they should be ready to go by tomor- row or next day and be fit for action in the opener against St. John's at College Park Saturday. With Guckeyson on the sidelines, Headley has been the “big boy” of the scrimmages, being outstanding on both attack and defense. The coaches will apply team polish, starting tomorrow, in an effort to have a well-developed machine by the time the game with the powerful Vir- ginia Tech eleven at Roanoke, Va., on October 3 is reached. Right now the squad could not be in better mental trim. Having put on a lively scrimmage of about 25 minutes on Friday, the Terps devoted their practice session yesterday to signal drills. Hardly nu;:‘e than an hour was spent on the fleld. e DUKE BEATS DAVIDSON Takes Opener, 13 to 0, as 12,000 Watch at Greensboro. GREENSBORO, N. C, September 19 (P).—Duke’s Blue Devils, Southern Conference champions, defeated the Davidson Wildcats, 13 to 0, in & foot bell game here tonight, marking the opening of the season. About 12,000 saw the game. Da- vidson put up a scrappy game. A long return of a punt led to Duke’s first score and a Davidson fumble gave the second opportunity. Davidson threatened several times, once being on the 1-yard line mark. Duke gained 258 yards from scrim- mage to 115 for Davidson and 10 first < Buff and Blue upward into the grid- iron firmament six years ago. This fine mental attitude should, offset to some degree the lads’ mzch‘nlul de- ficiencies, but as the season wears on even such as errors of commission are bound to fade before a genuine deter- mination to learn and improve. Probable Starting Team. HARD scrimmages of the last two days have cleared partially the uncertainty of the starting line-up, Unofficially it appears that the fgl- lowing will answer the opening whistle against Emory and Henry: Ray Hanken, left end; Johnny Reb- holz, left tackle; Izzy Weinberg, left guard; Capt. Frank Kavalier, center; ‘Ted Cottingham, right guard; Dale Prather or Harold Schiering, right tackle; Pete Yurwitz or Lloyd Berry, right end; George Jenkins, quarter- back; Herb Reeves or Vic Sampson, left half; Bruce Mahan, right half, and Jay Turner or Elmer Hogg, full- back. Judging from the frequent chang- ing about of players in recent drills, Pixlee hasn't determined his starting line-up. Leon Morris, 1935 Iletter winner, and Allan Holt are a couple of ends who may crash the starting array, while Al Harringer and Guy Renzaglia appear closely pressing Weinberg and Cottingham at the | guards. Armando Salturelli, recently con- verted from center when Capt. Ka- kalier took over that post, and Stan- ley Grbovaz, are strong tackle possi- bilities. In the backfield Nig Tihila, Frank Merka, Joey Kaufman and Jay Kenslow have frequently been in ac- tion, at least enough to warrant their consideration a&s starters against Emory and Henry. In all likelihood the regular George Washington line-up won't be known until after the first major game, sched- uled October 9 with Mississippi. The even distribution of quality among the 1936 material affords the opportunity for a maximum of experimenting. What Pixlee and his aides, Bill Rain- hart and Botchey Koch are seeking most is the hardest blocking, surest tackling aggregation that can be gotten | together. Backfield to Be Good. lT IS evident at this early stage that George Washington is going to have a good backfield, better perhaps than that of 1935 when the incomparable Tuffy Leemans dominated the scene. For one thing, it will be a smoother functioning quartet; also one that in- dividually will possess a lot more con- fidence. Each man Pixlee may send into the ball-toting department feels this year that he bears a full share of the responsibility. Last year there seemed to be a “let Tuffy do it” atti- tude which bespoke the inferiority complex. In the position Leemans occupied Pixlee has excellent prospects in Herb Reeves, Joey Kaufman and Vic Samp- son and “Ching” White. All possess speed and willing spirit. Reeves is the hardest runner of the group and Kauf- man and Sampson are triple-threat men. White is the fastest runner but hasn't yet acquired the ability to streak through a broken field. V. P. 1.

LACKSBURG, Va., September 19. —Virginia Polytechnic Institute's Gobblers flashed the form that made them 1935 State champions for two periods this afternoon in their open- ing game with Roanoke and then lapsed into second-half ineffectiveness, although they staved off all but one Maroon thrust to earn a 16-to-7 deci- sion. It was all V. P. I in the first half and mostly Roanoke in the second, the Salem team springing a surprise by showing a reversal of form on the of- fensive. The Techmen contributed to their opponents’ drive by drawing Some stiff penalties. Employing straight foot ball tactics without attempting anything fancy, the Gobblers twice marched to touch- downs in the first half. Another time, when a penalty had set them back and rushing failed to gain, George Sodaro, stubby halfback, booted a placement from the 34-yard line. Standing out head and shoulders throughout the game was the veteran junior, Mel Henry, who rolled up 102 yards of the 192 V. P. I gained by rushing. Line-ups and Summary, V. P. I (16). Roanoke (7).
