SPORTS. —_— . W. Kickers Due for Big Inning : Other D. C. Squads Tune for ! MERKA, KAUFMAN SLATED 10 PUNT Will Have Dangerous Rival in Elon’s Abbitt Here Tomorrow Night. HE art of kicking in its finer phases as demonstrated by George Washington's punters last week again may play a featured part when the Colonials tackle tough little Elon College to- morrow night in Griffith Stadium. Pre-game dope reveals the Chris- tians from North Carolipa pack con- siderable defensive strength and them= selves are fortified with potent kick- ing. Anticipating the necessity for more of the smart punting that several times held Emory and Henry in the hole last Friday night, Coach Jim Pixlee has available a backfield boast- ing two excellent booters who figure to hold their own in any kind of com- pany. Elon Has Strong Kicker. THIS combination includes Frank J Merka, right halfback, who drilled a beautiful kick out of bounds on Emory and Henry's two-yard line in his only attempt, and Joey Kauf- man, left half, who, though untried in competition thus far, has shown ability to average between 45 and 50 yards since practice started a month ago. Elon possesses a fine kicker in big Jim Abbitt, 190-pound fullback, and may use him as an offensive weapon if hte Maroon and Gold attack fails to dent George Washington's scrappy line. Abbitt's long kicks might push the Colonials back toward the goal- line with the prevailing chance that fumbled kicks will be recovered deep in George Washington territory. The Christians will show a team nearly matching George Washington in height and weight. A mere three or four-pound average per man will be the Colonials’ advantage. The Elon team as a whole will average about 180 pounds and the backfield will average about 175. Junior Colonials Get Going. UDGING from the way they lined up against Maryland University in scrimmage yesterday at College Park, the Colonials will present Allan Holt ‘and Ray Hanken at the ends; Dale Prather and Johnny Rebholz at the tackles; Izzy Weinberg and Ted Cottingham at the guards, and Ar- mando Salturelli at center. George Jenkins will start at quarterback and Herb Reeves, who opened at left half last week, probably will handle the fullback assignment. The opening of the Junior Colonial League season, postponed last week because the fleld wasn't in shape for play on time, is scheduled for tomor- row night at 7 o'clock as the prelim- inary attraction. The Northeast Boys Club will meet the No. 4 Police Boys' Club. Members of the Junior Colo- nials’ organization wearing their skull caps will be admitted at the Fifth Street gate for 25 cents. The caps, {dentifying them as members, are on sale in the boys’ department of the Palais Royal. DOUBLES IN TRAPSHOOT Washington Gun Club to Start Fall Card Saturday. Competition for the doubles cham- pionship, which will be contested Sat- urday, will open the Fall activities of the Washington Gun Club over its traps at Benning. Only club mem- bers are eligible for the different events. Saturday’s race will be at 50 tar- gets (25 pairs), with three prizes al- lotted on the Lewis class system. The regular 25-target handicap event for legs on the Hunter-Wilson Trophies will complete this week end’s card. e HUFF NEARS CRISIS Veteran Illinois Athletic Head Has Grave Stomach Ailment.

Y., October 1.—Bos- ton's Shamrocks handed the New York Yankees a 7-0 defeat in an American Professional League foot ball game here last night. TERRORS LOSE RIETH. WESTMINSTER, Md., October 1.— Bill Rieth, varsity center on the 1935 foot ball team, has been lost to the Western Maryland Terrors for 1936, due to scholastic difficulties. It has beén found that Rieth has not made up deficiencies from last year. “Y” SWIMMERS PRIME. Rigid training for members of the ¥. M. C.

ETURNING to the scene of his greatest triumphs for a® one- night stand with last year's second best team in profes- sionai foot ball, Tuffy Leemans, the three-year synonym for George Wash- ington University grid. success, plays under the arc lights of Griffith Sta- dium tonight. o'clock. In an exhibition game of the New York Giants, who contracted to meet a speclally-formed local all-star ag- gregation for Tuffy's benefit, G.

Although warned to remain out of the game by the New York Giants’ physician, Tuffy, confident of Pixlee's handiwork, will play just as he has played countless of times before— whole-heartedly, though not whole physically. FOUR PUBLIC HIGH TEAMS IN AGTION Games Tomorrow Will Offer Direct Comparisons of Title Aspirants. OUR of the five inter-high foot ball rivals will see action to- morrow when a quartet of games send Central, Tech, | Eastern and Western into action—the last-named playing its first game of the season. Eastern’s opponent, St. John's, also will be opening its season, however, and the game at Western Stadium be- tween the Red and White and the Little Cadets should offer hitherto un- revealed facts about the two aggres gations. Offer Direct Comparison. Dm!xrr comparison of Tech and Eastern and Eastern and Central will be offered through the former’s game with Episcopal High at Alexan- dria, and Eastern’s contest against Gonzaga. In Episcopal, Tech is meet- ing the team which nosed out Easte ern, 13-6, while Gonzaga lost to Cen~ tral, 0-14. Central’s game with Washington- Lee High of Ballston at Central Sta- dium again offers the interesting com- parison of two teams coached by for- mer college teammates. Central, in- ter-high champion, was handled last year for the first time by Hardy Pearce, former George Washington University guard, while the Ballston team is coached by Johnny Baker, who called signals on the same team on which Pearce played. Baker drew first blood between the two last year when Washington-Lee defeated Cen- tral. HORSE IS ROADSTER KING SEVENTH YEAR Senator Crawford Adds to His Laurels in National Show at St. Louis.

EW YORK, October 1.—Interna- tional road-racing signals have been changed and the American code adopted as the result of the return to international automobile competi- tion in the 400-mile race at the new Roosevelt Raceway October 12. The international signals used in European races heretofore have been “blue” for caution and “yellow” for stop. The colors were adopted years 2go in order to avoid confusion with railway signals, according to'W. F. Bradley, European representative of the American Automobile Association. The change, in accordance with the American code, uses “‘green” as mean- ing full speed ahead, “yellow” for cau- tion and “red” for stop.
