SPORTS. BIG GUNS TOBLAST | ALONG ALL FRONTS Yale Inaugurates Suicide Schedule in Scrap With Dashing Cornell. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. .yEW YORK, September 28.—Off to a fast start, the 1936 foot ball season moves quickly into full tride this week, promis- ing an unprecedented series of thrills before the campaign is over. Given a preliminary taste of “major league” competition last Saturday as Minnesota’s gophers galloped over ‘Washington, 14 to 7, to carry on an undefeated streak that has continued through 25 successive games in more than three years, and Duke and Loui- siana State hung up intersectional victories for the South against Col- gate and Rice, respectively, your foot ball fan will be able to find all-star gare all along the line this week end. Briefly, here is the line-up as virtu- ally every major team in the country swings into action: East—New Haven's the “hot spot.” ‘Yale opens its suicide schedule against Cornell's sensational sophomores who sent Carl Snavely's coaching regime off to a flying start with a 74-0 rout of Alfred, scoring 15 more points in one game than the big red could amass all last season. Yale, well sup- plied with veteran material and a fast, tricky offense, should uncover what- ever weakness there is in the Ithaca ensemble. Night Games Attractive. (QTHERWISE, intersectional games will furnish most of the fun, start- ing off with a pair of Friday night games, in which Rice and Mississippl will tackle Duquesne and Temple. The intersectional angle will carry over into Saturda; Navy, hard- pressed to turn k William and Mary, 18-6, meets another Southern Conference foe, Davidson, which handed North Carolina State an un- pleasant surprise, 6-2. Army, hoping for & banner season, opens against Washington and Lee. Villanova's Wildeats, who celebrated Maurice (Clipper) Smith’s coaching debut with & 32-7 triumph over Penn Military, will meet Detroit. Pitt, looking just as powerful as ex- pected in a 53-0 triumph over Ohio Wesleyan, will face West Virginia's Mountaineers, who surprised most critics by their 40-6 victory over the University of Cincinnati. Fordham and Princeton, linked with Pitt as most likely contenders for Eastern sectional honors, open against strong small-college foes. The Tigers will | be tested by Williams and Fordham by Franklin and Marshall. last year's biggest Eastern disappoint- ment, will open against Ernie Nevers' Lafayette array, surprisingly bowled over by Muhlenberg.

Stanford, beaten by Santa Clara, 13-0, begins conference competition against Washington State, while Southern California’s Trojans, whose 38-7 rout of Oregon State indicated the men of Troy were on their way back toward the top, plays Oregon. ‘Washington, whose huskies gave Min- nesots & brilliant fight, eases off against Idaho.

Central With Heavy Material Rebuilding Eleven That Loo ms As Another School Champion BY BURTON HAWKINS. 1S 1935 championship machine H wrecked by graduation, Coach Hardy Pearce, blessed with the sturdiest specimens of scholastic foot ball timber in this sec- tor, again has molded a capable Cen- tral High School eleven that definitely must be stamped as the team to beat in the schoolboy series that gets under way on October 20. Although Central's forward wall, which possesses an average weight frome180 to 188 pounds, depending on whom Pearce chooses to start, has not clicked offensively, already it has shown promise of developing into one of the finest defensive lines in local scholastic history. Against a scrappy and formidable Gonzaga aggregation, for instance, that spirited line braced to hold for downs on its own 4-yard line and dup- licated that feat later in the fray on the 9-yard line. The line still is not functioning as a unit, however, buv Pearce is an able mechanic. Pearce, whose last year's team in- jected & shot of strychnine into the series with polished line play, almost is & certainty to have his present line- men clicking with the precision of West Pointers on parade after the next two or three weeks. The former George Washington tackle has drilled his squad well in fundamentals and his work should pay dividends shortly. Some Hefty Tackles. Tm tackles who probably will be alternated throughout the season, each weighing more than 200 pounds, give some idea of the strength that |is embodied in that line. Johnny | Swank, 208; Hugh Cramer, 204, and | Bill Mandes, 206, are well-propor- tioned, powerful and willing. Al three saw series service last year. Sam Fox and Johnny Hancock now hold a slight edge over John Pis- tolas, brother of Nick, former Central crack guard, and Robert Kurtz, al- though the battle is so close they may be shifted momentarily. Fox, a | gluey-fingered, angular lad, special- | izes in snagging passes, although his 183 pounds also is used to advantage in spilling interference and dumping ball carriers. Pistolas balances the beam at 198 pounds, while Hancock and Kurtz weigh 170 and 164 pounds, respectively.

SARRON, world feather- weight boxing champion, who is considered one of the greatest ex- ponents of the art of balance in ring warfare, today joined the training camp of his stablemate, Buck Everett, District heavyweight titieholder, who faces Marty Gallagher in & 15-round bout for the local crown at Griffith Stadium on October 5. The swarthy 126-pounder will tutor Everett, a rough, tough mitten ma- nipulator who often is thrown off bal- ance, in maintaining his equilibrium, since Gallagher, who probably will outweigh the champion by 20 pounds, is expected to attempt to keep Buck off balance if possible. In an sttempt to pick up weight for the scrap, Everett is adhering to a build-up diet arranged by s -local doctor. - He is expected to enter the ring weighing about 187 pounds. Marty is working out dally under the direction of Jim McNamara at the Jewish Community Center, while east eleven is booking trict 3673. Charley Jones, a 185-pound all- high holdover from last season, and Johnny Chamberlain, the lightest man in the line at 154 pounds, ap- parently have clinched guard berths, although Joe Feuz, & stocky 173- pounder, and Morton Walker, chunky 191-pound candidate, doubtless will see much’ action. It was Chamberlain who broke through to block Jimmy Boyle's at- tempted punt in the Gonzaga game to account for a safety, while Jones, an aggressive plugger, was considered one of the smoothest players in the series last year. Sturdy at Center. 'RANK HODGE, 182-pound cen- ter, has pleased Pearce most, however. A quiet, likable fighter, Hodge has advanced rapidly under the Central coach, winning the snap- per-back post from Gene Wood, 188- pounder, who is capable of filling that gap capably should Frank falter. Bill Wooten, Billy Vermillion, Bernie Askin and Bill Ickes will compose Cen- tral's backfleld, with the 185-pound Wooten handling the passing and kicking assignments from a halfback position and Vermillion, & clever ball carrier, calling signals. Ickes and Askin will perform at fullback and right halfback, respectively. Vermil- lion weighs 152 pounds, while Askin scales 173 and Ickes tips the beam at 160 pounds. Felix Silverstein, reserve halfback, is improving and may gain & regular assignment. Although Central lost such veterans as Billy Richardson and Johnny Jones, backs; Paul Whedon and Charley Kline, ends; Capt. Ross Chaimson, tackle, and Vincent Meenehan, center, students there are expecting another championship club from Pearce. If the team continues to improve at its present pace, it probably will come through. Central, 14-0 victor over Gonzaga in its debut last week, will stack up against Washington-Lee High's outfit Friday at Central Stadium at 3:30 o'clock.

PEEDBOATS and salling craft were being packed off to, all points of the compass today as ‘Washington reviewed with pride and satisfaction one of the most suc- cessful aquatic events ever held, the eleventh annual President’s Cup Re- gatta. Jack Rutherford, Long Island sports- man, yesterday climaxed an eight-year struggle for major honors in the speed- boat world when he drove his Ma Ja II to & brilliant triumph in the third and dectsive lap.of the President’s Cup. Hooking up with the 1935 cham- pion Notre Dame, owned by Herbert Mendelsohn of Detroit, at the very outset of the Jast 15-mile heat of the 45-mile race, Rutherford, maneuver- ing brilliantly on the turns and driv- ing like a madman on the straight- away, only once took the wash of his rival piloted by Clel Perry, which went into the final heat with a 75- point advantage over the New Yorker. ‘Third to finish was Miss Cincinnati, owned by J. C. Fischer and driven by Dr. Robert H. Herman of Cincinnati, and fourth was Hotsy Totsy III, driven by her owner, Victor W. Klies- rath of South Bend, but both were far in the ruck. Horace Dodge's Impshi also ac- cepted the issue yesterday, but that Detroit boat, driven by Bennett Hill, broke down on the second 18p. Miss Canada II, which took & whirl at the two laps Saturday, did not come on the course yesterday, pre- sumably because Canadian boats cus- tomarily did not race on Sundays, and George Reis’ E1 Lagarto, which developed engine trouble on the open- ing day, also remained out. Fitting Climax Presenied. THE fight for the President’s Cup was a fitting climax to the tenth renewal of the President’s Cup Re- witnessed by an assemblage of thou- sands along the Hains Point course. When the boats faced the starter, Notre Dame had 700 points and Ma Ja 626, and it was virtually a cer- tainty that the race lay between these two, although Hotsy Totsy had the winning picture should both of the top ones by any chance fail to finish. But nothing like that was to happen. As the gun went, Ma Ja was out and winging, and held an advantage for one lap. Entering the second lap, Perry drove Notre Dame up on the inside and took the lead, but held it only until the far turn was reached, when Rutherford cut the outside marker by & whisker and once more was out in front. From there om, it was a repetition of the second heat of Saturday, with the Notre Dame giving everything she had, but not having enough. After the race, Perry said that wagon” on the turns, and it appeared as though it was there that the race was decided. The Notre Dame had about 1 minute and 12 seconds ad- ;;g:nlnehpoed time for the three Win Popular With Fans.

Lieut. Comdr. Joseph B. Lynch, U. 8. N, retired, rode with Rutherford. The races produced no new records, but there were three set in the mile inboard trials. Harry S. Fkloff of Baltimore, in Restless II, put the class K mark at 58.337 m. p. h.; David Gerli of New York, in Lady Gen II, and James E. Monigle of Wilmington, in the Joe Don, set a C class record of 43.249. Melvin Crook of Montclair, N. J, who has been running wild with the Betty V for three years, had no trouble in retaining the American speedboat championship, and the Miss Manteo I of Manteo, N. C, continued her triumphs in the 225 hydroplane fleld by sweeping the three heats for an easy victory in the first runing of the 30-mile national championship for the John Charles Thomas Trophy.

J. . SPORTS. Mac Smith, at 46, Is Leading Nation’s Pros BY W. R. McCALLUM. T GOES to show that form in golf stays with & sound swinger after the passage of a decade and a half. MacDonald Smith, the 46-year-old Bcot from Glendale, Calif., and Nash- ville, Tenn., today leads the Nation's professional golfers in the chase for the Radix Cup, which is awarded to the pro with the lowest scoring aver- age for the year. “Mac” Smith, the fellow who has been within kicking distance of a score of national cham- plonships and never has won one, has | §01f. & grand average of 71.12 for 33 rounds of competitive golf. A Testimonial to Form. Wm you consider that average, played over good golf courses, and the fact that Smith is at the top of a heap of many golfers 20 years his junior, you can understand what & grand golfer is the old man from Carnoustie. At the age of 46, when most competitive professionals in any sport long have passed out Smith still sticks around, and not only sticks around but is at the top. Long noted for the smoothness of his swing, Bmith today is the most comsistent scoring pro in the land. It's an elo- quent testimonial to form in golf. Close on his heels is Harry Cooper of Chicago, another gent whose brow yet has to be adorned with the wreath of a national championship. Light Horse Harry is only s mashie shot behind, with an average of 71.65 for for Radix Cup 72 rounds, which in a way, is an even more remarkable performance than that of Smith, for the Chicagoan has played more than twice as many about besides playing competitive . Tony Manero, the national champ, is no puff-ball as a scorer himself, for the swarthy senor from Greensboro, N. C., has rolled up a grand average of 72.33 for 48 rounds of campaigning, and stands in ninth place. Lawson Little, winner of the Canadian open, and reformed ama- teur king, has an average of 72.14. Lawson won't be able to get in enough rounds this year to qualify for the Radix Cup affair. In for Golf Picnic. Tlfl three qualifiers for the P. G.

There will be 64 qualifiers in the tourney for the crown won by John Revolta last year and they will be playing over one of the longest golf courses in the world, a layout that will stretch out to 7,200 yards.

TUFFYAGAIN STAR, Proves Best Ball Carrier for Defeated Team as Pirates Triumph. UFFY LEEMANS, upon whom an assortment of honors will be showered when he appears Thursday night with the New York Giants against the Washington All- Stars, today was being acclaimed an outstanding performer in a contest | his team lost yesterday in Pittsburgh to the Pittsburgh Pirates. By a score of 10-7 the surprising Pirates, erst- while doormats of the National | League, won their third consecutive | league victory. “Leemans,” says Stanley Woodward, writing in the New York Herald Tri- bune, “was the outstanding runner for New York. Moreover, the former George Washington University sensa- tion showed a notable durability. He played two-thirds of the game and was still driving hard at the finish. Tuffy’s Fumble Hurts. “HB fumble, however, in the first period put the Giants in a hole from which they were unable to, emerge until after the Pirates had scored in the second.” Armand Niccolai’s 12-yard place- ment goal settled the issue in the final period. In the second quarter the Pirates scored a touchdown on & pass, Matesic to Sortet, from the 9-yard line after a Pittsburgh sustained offensive that began on the Giants’ 47. The Giants counted in the third on | a flat pass, Danowski to Goodwin and | Goodwin's lateral to Richards as he | was tackled, the play being good for 62 yards.

FFICIAL competition for the year over, local tennis fans today awaited one more im=- portant even before they res gard the 1936 season at an end. ‘With yesterday's final rounds of the playground tournament at the Edge- moor Club accentuating the fact that Barney Welsh is the champion singles player in this vicinity and he and Ralph McElvenny the best doubles team, the closing day of the last tour- nament of the year failed to establish anything new to local netdom. But before the current year passes into the discard tennis is destined to see the launching of the District of Columbia Tennis Association, an or= ganization which will have complete charge of the sport before the 1937 season begins.

ALTHOUGH beaten yesterday, Hugh Lynch once more proved his courage to Capital net fans when he rallied in the first two sets to tie Welsh after it appeared the champion was going to rout him decisively in each set. Down, 1—5 and 0—4, Lynch took four straight games in each instance to deadlock the sets, only to fall before Welsh's pressure. The final scores were 7—5, 6—4, 6—0. As a result of his victory, Welsh today possesses two trophies awarded by The Evening Star, having captured The Star's perpetual trophy for one year in the City of Washington tour- nament last June, and getting a sec- ond leg on its three-leg award in the playground tournament yesterday.
