» 8 —20 . U. Takes Little for Granted : Colonials, Eagles Have Troubles It’s Still Calloused Veterans Find It Pays to Give Attention to Coach’s Warning. BY ROD THOMAS. ONTRARY to report, the Cath- olic University foot ball team, Orange Bowl champion, is not “all .et” for a campaign {n which it hopes to win every game. With a line-up complete with seniors and juniors, Dutch Bergman curtailed Fall practice by a week and gave rise to the impression that the eleven regu- lar places on his team were settled. Today he said: “I don’t know who will be our regular backfield. Both tackles are open and so is right end.” Next Saturday C. U. will open against Shenandoah in the renovated Brook- land Stadium. Shenandoah will be taken in stride, with little chance of an upset. What ennoys Bergman is that his squad may feel the same about all the games on the schedule. They Wouldn't Believe It. TWO years ago he warned his men ' that La Salle was tough. They listened with blank faces. La Salle got a 6-6 tie with the Cardinals, which, comparing records, was unwar- ranted. | Today the Cardinals likely would | have been famous as one of the few | undefeated teams of 1935 had they harkened enough to Bergman before | the De Paul contest. No matter what | the class of an undefeated team, a clean slate brings special recognition. Some of the calloused veterans fig- ured the De Paul game as good as in | the sack and attempted to match me- | chanical stuff against inspired play. The result was a 9-6 defeat, which spoiled an otherwise perfect record for | the Cardinals. This time the Redbirds have the stuff apparently to achieve the unique in C. U. foot ball history—a clean slate. Whether they bring it off may depend greatly upon how much the Brookland gladiators are willing to put out—in the way of upping com- petitive spirit for lightly-regarded op- ponents. Honest With Players. THERE won't be any true set-ups for | theCardinalsafter theShenandoah game. And there won't be any bo-| logna handed the boys concerning the | strength of the C. U. opponents. Berg- | man has instructed his scouts and <coaching aides to “lay the stuff on the table—give 'em a true picture of what they have to contend with.” When Fall training started Specs Foley seemed to be the regular quar- terback. But Specs today finds himself battling with Howard Walker, Don Kincaid and Max Brinkman, the last named a former Tech High player, to | hold his place. Aside from generalship | Foley is valued for his punting; Walker is a kicker and also is proficient in toting back punts; Kincaid, a sopho- more, is adept in returning kicks, and Brinkman, besides punting effectively, s an excellent blocker. No matber} which of the four is in the game, it | appears, C. U. will be well generaled, but the distinction of being a starter 4s a reward calculated to keep the boys striving mightily. Katalinas Has Rival. J EO KATALINAS, big and fast- | charging left tackle, understudied for Capt. Ed Karpowich last year and was thought to be a sure thing for the first string this Fall, but Sam Pagano, one of the most improved players on the squad, refuses to concede Leo the Job. Elwood Clements, who played regu- farly at right tackle last season and 1s considered improved, isn't sure of getting the call over John Chludenski. Fred Rodgers, who changed his name from Rydzewski, subbed for the bril- liant George Muligan at right end in *35 and was due to be a regular this year, but twisted a knee and now we find Zeke Brown, Eddie Dunn and | John Kasunich struggling with almost | equal chances of landing in front. Rodgers is through for at least a fort- night. .Coast Foot Ball ? Of Big Ten Rank | BY JAMES PHELAN, | Head Poot Ball Coach. University of ‘Washington. SEA’ITLE, September 29.—Most foot ball fans looked on the Minnesota-Washington game as a test between Pacific Coast foot ball and the Big Ten, and, if we take the game in that light, T am forced to admit that Pacific Coast foot ball is on a par with, if not superior to, the Big Ten brand, because Minnesota has a three-year unbeaten record and Washington rates about fourth or fifth in this year’s coast prospec- tus. Last year Washington lost three games, and this year has the same personnel, minus three regu- lars who were replaced by sopho- mores. Minnesota is a good defensive team with a line much stronger than the backfield. The Minnesota offense is ordinary, and, without Andy Uram, the team will play some tie games or lose to teams with a versatile attack. Nine of my players were sopho- mores, and if a veteran team like Minnesota cannot make more ground against them, then I will trade my games with U. 8. C,, Cali- fornia and U. C. L.

EW YORK, September 20.— So you stumbled into picking one right, for a change, and now you're all in a dither with the world series on hand? Last April it was easy to pick the pennant win- ner. One of the Washington morn- ing rags and one of the afternoon sheets each picked the Tigers to win in the American League. Another morning paper picked the Red Sox and another evening pub chose the In- dians. So you picked the Yanks, Jjust to be different, and, lo and be- hold, they won by the somewhat de- cisive margin of 19'; games, which “only” set a new record. You even picked Washington, on April 14, to finish fourth. So now you hem and haw on the series. Nobody gives a hoot, anyway. Last April the Yanks were 8-to-1 shots to win and after you picked them to win they still were 8 to 1. Still the series. . . . Why not hem and haw? The Yanks have the power, all right, but how important is extra punch in a short series? Gehrig, remember, has been in a batting slump. Bill Dickey will play with a dislocated thumb. Sup- pose Di Maggio flops like he did in the all-star game? That would be a blow to the Yanks. Whew, what a wash- out he was that day! Maybe it's too much for a rookie. S'pose They Have “Throat Trouble?” 'OME to think of it, there are some other guys on the Yanks who might choke up. It will be some- thing new for Jake Powell, among others. He'd give you enough fits in just an ordinary game. And then Monte Pearson and Bump Hadley might walk everybody in the ball park. And how about Selkirk? Joe McCarthy says he’s going to start against Hubbell. Shucks, he hasn’t hit the American League's southpaws this year, much less a guy like Hub. Still, they say Carlll bother the right-handers more than the left- handed batters. the chips on the table. Dickey can hit for your money, too, and Gomez might all of a sudden snap out of it, bring that fast ball down from be- hind his ear and get it over the plate. If he does the Yanks won't have to spot Hubbell anything. Wonder what happened to Gomez this year? Newspaper men up here say he got fat around his shoulders, but look- ing at him you wonder what they mean by fat and what con- stitutes a skinny man in New York. Goofy will have to show something in this series, too, to avoid taking a h—Il of a pay cut next year. Not even a guy with Jake Ruppert's dough pays 20,000 simoleons per annum for 13 victories. ‘What If Hub Gets Licked? IT CERTAINLY would be high-pow- to pick the Yanks to win the pennant and the Giants to beat them in the series and have both come out right. Got half a mind to do it. After all, the Giants are supposed to have better fielding and better pitching, and that counts a lot in & short series. Still, what if Hubbell gets his ears pinped back tomorrow? The series’ll be over in no time. What a terrible sock that would be at the National League! Well, the National won the all-star game and so they wouldn’t be shut out, like they were last year. ‘They're opening at the Polo Grounds again and maybe that’s a hunch. The last series that opened there was in 1933 and the Washingtons were so flabbergasted by the dizzy joint, plus Hubbell, that they lost the series on Gehrig'll hit with | the first day. Hubbell, Schumacher and Fitz won three in a row. Tough game that Monte Weaver lost, though; but still the Griffs weren't hitting, and, even if they couldn’t have carried the Yankees’ bats, who knows if even the Yanks will hit? Well, Make Up Your Mind. THE Yankee fans up here are say- | ing that Hubbell is overdue to lose, having won 16 in a row. Maybe there’s something in that. In fact, it might be a hunch, but, then, Giant fans have a hunch that's just as good. They point out that the Yanks have won 12 straight world series games, starting back in 1927, when they beat the Pirates four in a row, and that they're overdue to lose. Better throw out the hunch business. ‘Tried to get a line from impartial folks who ought to know, but that | | doesn’t do much good. Griff is pa- | rading around, but his mind is on | the draft meeting tonight and, of course, he’ll say the Yanks in a walk. | He still thinks the National Leaguers | are a lot of bushers. There's Bucky | Harris, too, but he hems and haws, too. You suspect that if Bucky weren't an American Leaguer he'd say the Giants would win. Time's getting short and a lot of nice, clean paper is being wasted. You better make up your mind, get it over with, and go out and grab a beer. As you said before, nobody gives a hoot. They don't even remember you | picked the Yanks on April 14 and Washington to run fourth. They | might remember, though, that you | picked the Cubs last Fall. They would . . Throw a coin. Play tit-tat-toe and use a “G” for Giants and a “Y” for Yanks instead of the “X” and “0.” No, assert your- self. _Pick somebody . . .

Spring Poll—Star’s Py the Associated Press. EW YORK, September 29.— Both of the Philadelphia teams finished last in the major base ball league pen- nant races, but two of the experts from the Quaker City topped the list of nearly 100 sports writers that participated in the pre-season poll conducted by the Associated Press. Jack Fried of the Evening Bulle- tin and William Wolf of the Rec- ord were the only writers that picked both the Giants and the Yankees. Eleven others selected the Giants to take the National League pennant but missed out when it came to naming the American League winner. Fried Editor Names One. and Wolf were joined in selecting the Yankees by Warren Brown, sports editor of the Chicago Herald Examiner and Glen Wallar of the St. Louis Glove Democrat. Others selecting the Giants were John Drebringer, New York Times; Ken Smith, New York Mirror; John Ebinger, New York Daily News; Will Wedge, New York Sun; Herbert L. Jaspan, Philadelphia Ledger; Ray Hill, Philadelphia Bulletin; Ed Bang, Cleveland News; George Caren, Boston Transcript; Denman Thompson, sports editor The Washington Star; Arthur Sampson, Boston Herald and Gerry Moore, Boston Globe. A b-NINE WIN HOLDS - LAURELS FORU. . ernment Loop Third City Title in Row. ting by Pepco Barry and an accurate peg to home plate by Eddie Colliflower to nip the tying run, Bureau of Investigation’s crack | base ball team yesterday upheld the prestige of the United States Govern- ment League by nosing out Miller Pur- | niture, 2-1, to win the local week-day championship. Investigation's victory marked the third time in as many years that the champion of the United States Gov- ernment League has annexed the title, N. R. A. capturing the crown in 1934 and 1935. The Sleuths scored twice in the first inning when Willis Fisher walked, advanced to second on Walter Morris’ sacrifice bunt and sprinted home on Barry's triple to right center. Barry dented the plate when Eddie Cinotti juggled Sugrue's relay from the out- field. The Millers retaliated with one run in the first frame when Tommy Nolan was hit by a pitched ball and brought home on successive singles by Lyman McAboy and Fred Wahler. Davidson, relieving Dick Nichols with two out and the bases fully pop- ulated in the fifth inning, fanned Lefty Stevens to quell the uprising, and then hurled hitless ball during the sixth and seventh sessions to turn back the bid of the Industrial League champions. Stevens was stingy with safties after the first inning, granting but seven hits in the seven-inning game, three of which were collected by Barry. McAboy paced the losing attack with two singles. HORSESHOE CHAMP ~ SHOWS TOMORROW Allen, California Star, to Meet Local Pitching Aces at Brentwood Grounds. ALLEN of Alhambra, Calif, world champion horseshoe flipper, will give an exhibition of his skill to- morrow night at Brentwood, Md. at \8 o'clock, instead of Thursday, as was published in The Star.

HE system of foot ball that Dick Harlow so successfully taught at Western Maryland will be on display Saturday, when the University of Delaware meets George- town at Griffith Stadium in the opening game for both schools. The visitors are coached by Lyal W. Clark, a former star at Western Maryland when Harlow was head mentor of the Terrors, and George- town has won but one game out of seven from Western Maryland. Delaware and Georgetown have met but once before on the gridiron. In 1919 the Hoyas defeated the Dela- ware eleven, 46-17. Has Big Pair of Tackles. ELAWARE will bring to Washing- ton two hefty and clever tackles in Charles Schwartz and Olaf Droz- dov. Schwartz tips the beam at 210 and Drozdov is 10 pounds lighter. Louis Hayman, & 180-pound lineman on the Delaware team, hails from the District. Although in great shape and with every member of the squad raring to go, Georgetown still can vividly remember last year's opening game with Albright,, when they were rudely upset, 7-0. John Fleming, sensational young soph, is continuing his clever boot- ing in the practice sessions. Flem- the other soph slated to start on Saturday, will be closely watched. PLAY DONKEY BASE BALL Anacostia Lions and Masons to Do Battle Tomorrow. Sporting such titles as hoof hoister, tail twister, donkey pacifier and in- ducer, members of the Anacostia Lions Club and Anacostia Lodge, F. A. A. M., will tangle tomorrow night in Stadium at 8:15 o'clock. for both clubs—one of the many in- novations due to be unveiled. Admis- sion for adults will be 55 cents, with children being assessed 25 cents. ‘The Series Star. NE of the most interesting points of a base ball lottery is attempting to name the world series star in advance. In the past, he had been anything or everything from a Mathewson and a Johnson to an almost unknown rookie, depending largely on the way fate felt about it. The most logical picking nomi- nates Carl Hubbell. On the Yankee side, the best nomination is Lou Gehrig, who has helped to blast away more than one world series game. | This will be Lou’s first world series without Babe Ruth at his side, but he should have all -the help needed from Dickey, Di Maggio, Lazzeri, Rolfe and Selkirk. The Giants’ leading pos- Mel Ott and Bill Terry himself. What About Di Maggio? 'HIS has been quite a season for young Joe Di Maggio. In his first big league year, he finds himself with a carload of home runs, more than 200 base hits and a world series party all in one bundle. It might be recalled that such past stars as Larry Lajole, Bill Bradley and others never played a world series game. In the all-star turn at Bos- ton, young Di Maggie had a spotty afternoon, but that has no connection with any world series debut. ‘There has been gossip back and forth that the California kid won't be so hot in his first series, with the Boston episode still hanging in his memory. Di Maggio isn't that type. He is not only a fine ball player, but he has all the confidence in himself any star needs to keep moving up- ward. He will be one of the hardest Yankees to handle on a daily aver- age, if there is anything logical in the elastic dope. Attack and Defense. 'HIS next series will be the old story of attack and defense. The Giants, with Hubbell around, plus the aid that Fitzsimmons and Schumacher should offer, will have the edge in defensive strength. The Yankees have a big jump in offensive power. Their bats are louder and their hits are longer. If it wasn't for the fact that one star pitcher, at his peak, can domi- nate the week’s show, the Yankees would be 2-to-1 favorites. But no ome can afford to crawl too far out on a limb with Hubbell’s left arm still intact. He can throw too many grenades in the vicinity of the right spot. Long Carl is not only a brilliant pitcher, but also a money workman. World Series Facts and Figures By the Associated Press.

W FOR ELON CONTEST Five Ace Gridders, Four of Them Letter Men, May Not Play Friday. HAT some experts may have figured = breather for George Washington in its game with Elon College Friday night now looms as a real test for the Colonial eleven. The injury bugaboo that failed to visit the Buft during its training campaign suddenly has struck a forceful blow to Pixlee's squad, considerably weakening its re- serve and acting as an equalizing factor in the relative strength of the two teams. Five valuable players, four of them monogram men, are out of action and probably won’t return by Friday night. Injuries have sidetracked Capt. Frank Kavalier, center or halfback; Bruce Mahan, halfback; Leon Morris, end, and Jay Turner, big sophomore full- back. The fifth, Pete Yurwitz, an end, has gone to New York because of the death of his father. 'HUS considerable changing around of players will be necessary to bol- ster weakened positions. At best, not much can be done about the situation at ends and halfbacks except to insert inexperienced players. Ray Hanken will be the only experienced end avail- able against the invading Christians, and Herb Reeves, another veteran, must take over the fullback dutles of ‘Turner. Reeves has had some experi- ence at fullback in the past. In Reeves’ left-halfback post Pixlee is trying Joey Kaufman, & triple- threater, and Kingston Burnham, who impressed with his pass slinging against Emory and Henry. Vic Samp- son, slight speedster who got off sev- eral nice kicks and ran well in the Wasp game, also will get a trial. At Mahan's right-halfback post Frank Merka and Nig Tihila are receiving tests. Armando Salturelli, 1935 re- serve center, will again substitute for Capt. Kavalier. Bob Faris, Premont, Nebr., sopho- more who scored with a fine catch of Burnham'’s marathon pass against the ‘Wasps, is getting a lot of attention. blocking and improves his defensive | work he should become a valuable | soph, who received his baptism under | fire last Friday. Elon will bring to Washington 13 letter men covering all 11 positions. He isn’t inclined to start fading under fire. No one man in any series ever | carried a heavier burden than the left-hander from Oklahoma will take into action. He has been picked as the main Giant hope, knowing that, if he can't spike the Yankee guns, there will be little chance left. ‘The Yankees can lose the opener and still have about the same cast left on through to the finish. They have enough good pitching to stand up. The Giant Side. “DON'T forget,” writes a Giant fan “that any ball club able to come | from beind, as Terry's team did this Summer, is a team of destiny. I re- call 22 years ago, back in 1914, when you and almost every other sporting writer picked the Athletics to tear Boston's Braves apart. All of you| overlooked this fact—the Braves came from nowhere to win a pennant and this impetus swept them through in four games. “The same impetus that lifted the Giants from a struggling second-division team around mid-Summer inte an unex- Pected pennant will do the same trick in this series. “They have been on their way in a hurry for 10 weeks. They are not going to be stopped now. The Yan- kees haven’t had a contest that meant anything in weeks. They'll find Giant pitching far different from the much softer type their bats have been haia- mering all this season.” It may be that way, too—but also Giant pitching may find Yankee bats a trifle different from most of the asn they have looked at since April.

HREE of Washington's four major collegiate foot ball teams were hitting on all eight as this week-end's games drew 24 hours closer today, and the fourth was thanking its lucky stars that an- other minor team would be its oppos nent for its second game. While Georgetown and Cathalie University were looking to inaugurals here against Delaware and Shenan- doah, respectively, with high hopes of opening their seasons in big ways on Saturday, and Maryland was fairly optimistic over its chances against Virginia Tech at Roanoke, George Washington was counting its cripples. Maryland, however, came out of its opener in splendid shape and with pleasant surprises. “Jumbo Jim" Meade’s drive against St. John's last week end has gained that young man a crack at Bill Guckeyson's vacated halfback post, with Head Coach Frank Dobson confident that the soph's rough spots will be smoother out with more experience, Nick Budkoff, who was shifted from end to a tackle, threatens to give first- stringer “Turk” Birkland a run for the job. Another youngster, Fred ‘| Hewitt, also gave promise of being one of' Maryland’s backs of the future Charlie Weidinger, still another rookie, passed accurately and ran well with the ball.

NASHVILLE, ‘Tenn., September 29.—There were two highly noticeable factors in the Southern foot ball games of Saturday in | which & majority of the teams opened their 1936 season. In very few of the games were the favored teams able to score in the early periods. In fact, many were saved only by rallies during the second half, being unable to get their attacks to clicking until then. Secondly, the forward pass was the most popular scoring weapon, for seldom before have forward passes decided as many games as they did Saturday in the IG game fishing on sections of the Atlantic Coast, easily reached by Washington an- glers, still is in its infancy, but already is giving promise of rivaling Florida and Bimini for thrills. Catching channel bass at Fox Hill Levels, Wachapreague and Cape Charles was long considered to be the heaviest angling available in a trip of a few days, but we now have two years of marlin fishing off Ocean City tucked under our belt and are headed for even bigger things. To date white marlin are the only members of that sporty family which have fallen to the lot of the Ocean City boats, In Bimini, where the blue marlin rules supreme, a white marlin is considered a bother and the bait is pulled away when one chases it. That stage hasn't been reached here yet. Blues and whites live in'the same waters farther south and have much the same habits, and there is no reason why a big blue one should not be found around here. It is only necessary to locate the grounds. Tuna fishing off the coast of New Jersey is another branch of angling which has been coming into the limelight within the past few years. Commercial tuna fishing has long been a leading business along the coast, but recently boatmen have found that they could make more money with less work and have it come in steadily by making a few changes in their boats, cleaning thent a bit and hiring out to sportsmen. Several have done this, especially in the neighborhood of Sea Bright, where the best grounds are found but a mile and a half offshore. anu:. N. J, a six-hour drive from Washington, is the leading port for these grounds, although it is 20 miles up the coast. Boats cost $45 a day, including tackle, or $30 a day if you bring your own. Supplying your own tackle is much better, as the equipment supplied is rather heavy, being built around a 54-thread line. Boatmen have the same idea everywhere; they don't want their customers to lose fish, even if they have to use a clothesline. A 39- Carl Strohmeyer rocked the pins for 364 in the P. W.

Schools of tuna come into the slick, and on a calm day can be seen when they near the bait. Once a fish is hooked, which doesn’t take long nor is it extremely difficult, it's a long, hard battle before it is boated. Forty-five minutes is good time for the average tuna, and generally it takes much longer, often several hours. To the layman, fighting a fish with every bone, muscle and bit of energy in your body may seem & poor way of passing a few hours. When you are through you ache all over, you can hardly stand, your thumb may be bleeding from reel burns, you are soak- ing wet with perspiration, your throat is parched and your fingers paralyzed. | To the uninitiated it seems foolish, but who has had that experience and would not go back and do it all over again and only hope for twice as much? ‘Tuna caught off Sea Bright this year are averaging about 250 pounds; the Jargest caught weighed about 750. They have been hitting every day when boats were able to go out, and veteran watermen claim that they will continue to be caught until about the end of October. A MEGLEN IS THREAT | TO NEW YORK PROS Former Hoya Proves a Demon as | All-Stars Get Ready for | Thursday Game. i DETERMINED to make good before & Washington audience in his farewell foot ball appearance here Thursday night against the New York Giants, Joe Meglen, co-captain of last year's Georgetown eleven, all but dis- rupted last night's practice of the College All-Stars at Griffith Stadium, where they got in their last heavy licks for the game. Smashing off tackle and boring through the middle with great force, Meglen appeared every inch an all- America. It was the same brand of play that he displayed against New York U. and Manhattan last year, when Gotham critics acclaimed him | one of the finest backs to perform in | the big town. Several times last night Coach Ted ‘Wright had to remind Joe to go easy on his mates. Meglen had everything {in the 45-minute scrimmage that fea- tured a two-hour workout. Meglen now is a member of the Pat- | terson Pros and already has performed | against New York once this season | Patterson lost, 13-7, but defeat only served to boost. rather than lower, the former Hoya star’s stock. Tickets for the game are on sale at Spalding’s and the Grand Central | Valet. Box seats are $1.65 and general admission $1.10. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR letics' sloppy fielding, Wash- ington defeated Philadelphia, 4-1, with Bert Gallia doing the pitch- ing. During the game Sam Rice took occasion to show Manager Griffith why he should be an out- fielder, getting two hits and a walk. He used good judgment every time at bat and should be & hard man to keep on the bench next year.
