High, Prep School Gridders Busy: Bobby Brownell Rated No. 1 Golfer Yale Had More to Offer Navy Than Kelley’s “Dropkick” Y[]UTHFU[ BHAMP TITLEAGAINLOONS FOR CENTRAL HIGH, Tech, Eastern Chief Foes. Roosevelt Opens Series at [ Western Tomorrow. 5 BY BURTON HAWKINS. EMINISCENT of the powerful pigskin pushing machine that propelled its colors to the in- terhigh school foot ball series hampionship last year, Central this season presents another crack club that must be stamped as a favorite Ro cop the schoolboy crown. On pa- per and on turf, Central stacks up as the smoothest outfit to enter the se- ries, but if they're looking for trou- ble, Tech or Eastern can give them snough. ‘The series will be launched tomor- row when the cellar contenders, Roose- velt and Western, clash at Western Stadium at 3:30 o'clock. Western, with & smattering of experienced players in Morris Snead, Blackie Brewer, Bucky Morse, Biff Oliphant and Charley Gamage, is expected to prove too po- tent for the scrappy but woefully green Rough Riders. M\'ell led Hit. ROOS!VELT will enter the series minus six players who showed promise in tilts against Bullis and Gongaga. Ray Frederick, back, apd Jim Fraber, end, are ineligible, due to the transfer rule, while Bill Hudson and Yankee Ladbush, backs, and Harry Freund, end, are scholastically deficient. Loyal Grimm, veteran guard, will be out for the season with a serious abdominal injury received in the Bullis game. The plucky Grimm fin- Ished that fray, but collapsed later In the dressing room and was rushed 20 the hospital. Several blood trans- fuslons were necessary to save his \ife, but he now is recuperating nicely. Lynn Woodworth, regular coach, has not been able to tutor the Rough Riders, since he still is weakened by & streptococcic infection that placed him in bed in Mount Alto Hospital for several weeks. He has turned his duties over to Herman Littman, basket ball and base ball mentor, who has been aided by Sid Kolker, former George Washington University guard. Actually the series inaugural will mark time for the crucial Central- Eastern fray Friday at Central Sta- dium, with Artie Boyd's team seeking revenge for the 12-6 title-winning tri- umph recorded by the hefty hench- men of Coach Hardy Pearce last year. Backfield Eastern's Bulwark. ENTRAL'S bulky forward wall will | outweigh Eastern's line more | than 15 pounds to the,man, yet East- ern will remain a threat as long as its backfield remains intact. With Roy Michael, Al Kidwell, Paul O'Brien, Russ Kendrick, Kirk Millar, Chick Di Gllulan and Jack Shugrue from | which to choose his starting quartet, Boyd will trot out possibly the best balanced backfield in the series. The likable, curly-haired Boyd was dealt & severe blow with the loss of Abe Cohen, the only lineman of last season who was not graduated. Cohen ‘wag injured in scrimmage and will be lost to the team for the year. The Eastern forward wall will average but 166 pounds, which will be from 15 to 20 pounds lighter than Central’s, de- pending on Pearce’s starting line-up. Eastern probably will rely on decep- tion sandwiched between forward and lateral passes to shake its backs into an open fleld, where they can take care of themselves. It is doubtful if any rival will concentrate power plays at Central, due both to the solid mass of flesh and muscle embodied in the Blue line and the fact that only passes | have been successful against them to date. Central Suffers Lone Loss. CENTRAL has won three of four games, losing only to Fork Union Military Academy, prep school cham- pions of Virginia, when a momentary lapse of all knowledge that has been | pounded into backs concerning cover- ing a pass receiver allowed the Cadets | to score and win, 7-0. Gonzaga and Washington-Lee High were blanked by Central, 14-0 and -0, respectively, while St. John's was trounced, 33-13. St. John's two touchdowns, both through the air, were scored against reserves. Eastern has experienced the same success in its four games, dropping & tilt to Episcopal, 6-13, and winning from Gonzaga, 13-12; 8t. John's, 33-6, and Calvert Hall, 14-0. Tech, also riddled by graduation, heverthelss has been molded into a formidable eleven by the wiry Hap Hardell.- The Maroon machine has gained an even break in four games, but doubtless could have done better had not Hardell elected to play his reserves freely. Tech trimmed George ‘Washington High and Gonzaga and was defeated by Baltimore City Col- lege and Episcopal. Tech a Question Mark. TILL somewhat of a question mark, Tech unleashed a powerful attack to swamp Gonzaga, 31-0, in its last game. Prior to that, however, ‘Tech had been erratic and ragged for the most part, and whether they can continue to click still is puzzling. Tech will not see series action until a week from Tuesday, with Western provid- ing the opposition. ‘Western, which took a 13-8 decision from Roosevelt last year, may sur- prise. Coach Dan Ahearn produced & fighting club last season that held Eastern to a 2-0 score, and although he has not been blessed with an over- abundance of experienced material, Western may contrive to spring an upset. Roosevelt is lacking sadly in vet- eran players and reserves, and al- though Coaches Littman and Kolker have made the best of available ma- terial, the Rough Riders apparently again are doomed to the cellar spot. Roosevelt still is secking its first vic- tory, having lost to Bullis, 0-14, and , 6-14. EAGLES SCQRE AGAIN Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va. October 19.— The Anacostia Eagles’ foot ball record was kept clean and Mike Goldman's Virginia A. C. was handed its second defeat in three starts here yesterday | R. when the Eagles scored an 8-0 vic- tory over the local eleven. Gensmere's kick from behind his own goal line that went straight into the air gave Anacostia a safety in the first quarter 2nd a 50-yard susfained drive accounted for the touchdown in the second. L0 DEVIT ALONE DUE ANOTHER BIG YEAR Gonzaga, St. Albans Both Below Form of 1935 in Prep Grid Circles. BY BILL DISMER, JR. NLY one of the three leading prep school foot ball teams of a year ago looms as & win- ner this Fall, according to early returns based upon the first third of the 1936 campaign. By the same deduction, two teams which did not win a single game in 1935 are due for higher places in local prepdom this season. Devitt alone appears to have an- other powerhouse characteristic of the one which carried Black and Gray colors to three victories in five games last year. Gonzaga and St. Albans, the leader and third-ranking team of the Capital 12 months ago, already have lost as many games since mid- September as they lost all last year. Bullis and Georgetown Prep, on the other hand, beaten in every start last year, have encouraged their sup- porters with victories in their opening games, although the former dropped its second game to Massanutten Mili- tary Academy last Friday. Even that result produced reassurance, however, as the margin of the cadets, perennial grid powers, was cut from the three- touchdown margin of 1935 to one. Landon Entertains Hope. HOPE also exists for s better record at Landon, which won but two out of six last year. The Brown and White, with seven hold-overs, has split even in its first two games, averaging last year's defeat at the hands of St. Andrews of Baltimore and slicing in half the 1935 edge of another Monu- | mental City eleven, St. Paul's, last Friday. Two losing teams of last Fall, how- ever, appear in for dismal seasons again, though the five games that point to this belief are not conclu- sive evidence. Friends, whose tie with Georgetown Prep last year was the only game in five it did not lose, has dropped its first two games, while St. John’s, which defeated only George- town Prep in 1935, has been dealt three straight setbacks. In all jus- tice to the latter, it must be stated that their opponents have been a trio of interhigh elevens — Western, Eastern and Central—ever- rated su- perior to their prep school cousins. For comparative bases, Devitt and Bullis must be considered somewhat | apart from other local prep schools. With both drawing high school grad- | uates for their courses of study, they | present teams of advanced age, weight |and experience in contrast to St. ’Albsns St. John's, Gonzaga, George- | town Prep, Landon and Friends whose students are of normal high school | age. Which is the stronger will be defi- | nitely established on November | when they meet for one of the two “unofficial” prep school championslips {of the city at Bullis' new fleld in Silver Spring. Trio to Settle Supremacy. E other “unofficial” title, which carries with it a trophy put into competition for the tri-rivalry of Gon- zaga, St. John's and Georgetown Prep will be decided by a series involving all three teams. The first of the three games comes on November 6 | when Gonzaga plays at Garrett Park, with the St. John's-Georgetown Prep | game scheduled for November 12 and | the Gonzaga-St. John's fray for No- vember 12. Three other interprep games will | vate school team in the city with 8t. tober 30, Landon playing St. Albans on November 12 and Priends meeting | Landon on November 20. Other com- | parisons may be gained from the play of four—Landon, St. Albans, Bullis |and Friends—against a common foe and newest public high school in the city, Woodrow Wilson. By comparative scores already inm, Gonzaga seems about four touchdowns better than its traditional foe, St. John's. While the Purple came within one point of tying Eastern, St. John's was routed at Lincoln Park, 33—6, and whereas Gonzaga took a 14—0 licking from Central, the inter- high champion slaughtered the ca- dets, 33-13. 13| allow comparison of most every pri-| | Albans playing Georgetown Prep Oc- | The Elis piled up the line and Schmidt of the Sailors piled in to find no opening on the four-yard mark at Baltimore Satur- HAT forthcoming final round in the Minor Club champion- ship, probably to be played next Sunday, looks to be the final of a big invitation tournament instead of a mere club title final. Bobby Brownell, the District champ, just about will make a clean sweep of all there has been to be won around Manor if he licks Harry G. Pitt, the present champion, in the final. Bobby won his way to the ultimate round by licking southpaw Tommy Bones yesterday, 2 and 1. Harry won his semi-final match two weeks ago. The second flight in the tourney went to C. P. Medley, who beat Ralph Gibson 1 up. A’I‘ CHEVY CHASE today a group of some 25 pros were playing with senlor partners in a senior-pro tourney, in which the seniors will get full handicaps.

An invitation tourney at Beaver Dam on October 28 will wind up the season’s affairs. j “It's about time Jackie was winning something around this club. Any guy who plays as well as he does and as | often should win a lot of silverware.” | Bill Wenzel was congratulating Jack McCarron. Jack had just won the Tatum Cup at Congressional, with a card of 78-8-70. Second place went | to Peyton Evans. with 86-14-72. The gross award was won by Roger Pea- cock, with 72, level par.

Earl McAleer won his way into the ‘flnal round for the Indian Spring championship, defeating Dick Kreuz- berg on the twentieth hole. McAleer will play Volney Burnett, the 1935 champion, in & final round this weex. | It isn't new to Bill Pendergast to hold the Bannockburn Club cham- plonship, but Bill has it again. He licked George Keene in the final yesterday by 2 and 1 to win his umpty-steen club title. Bill scored 147 for the 36-hole final round, against 150 for Keene. The second flight went to 8. O.

ASHINGTON'S pigskin pop- ulace apparently can take its professional foot ball or leave it, and the manner in which it is leaving it would seem to indicate that the District is the poorest city in the Dixie League circuit in regard to attendance. While 11,000 fans paid to witness the Richmond Arrows trounce the Portsmouth Cubs, 14-6, at Richmond, and a record throng watched the Baltimore Orioles whip the Norfolk Clancys, 7-6, at Norfolk, less than 1,000 spectators turned out yesterday at G#iffith Stadium to see the Wash- ington Pros, alias the Maryland A. C,, trim the Alexandria Celtics, 7-0. With George Washington, George- town and Catholic University bringing outstanding collegiate attractions here every week, it is doubted if the newly formed league can gain much head- way in this sector, although the type of foot ball the Pros and Celtics dis- played warrants a better break from the public. D. C. Team Wins in Air. A 21-YARD pass from Dick Nelson, former Maryland star, to Hal McGann, formerly of Catholic Uni- versity, gave the Pros their margin of victory early in the first quarter. Nelson, on a fake run around right end, faded back and whipped the pass to McGann in the end zone, while the Celtics’ secondary was caught flat- footed. Willis Benner booted the extra point from placement. The Pros came within & foot of adding another touchdown late in the third quarter, when they advanced to the Celtics’ 1-foot line on runs by Benner and Lee Carlin, & product of George Washington, but the Alex- andrians braced to hold for downs and punted out of danger. The Celtics threatened only in the waning moments of the game, when Don Bomba ripped the Pros’ line open on several occasions to plant the ball on Washington’s 27-yard line. An offside penalty and another Bomba blast advanced it to the 16, but the final whistle squashed the drive. Washington (7). Q o9 3 ‘Touchdown—NMcGann.

GREAT BACKS FACE INMIDWEST GAME Purdue-Minnesota Contest May Blow Pre-Campaign Dope Sky High. BY the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, October 19 —Two of ( the finest groups of backfield stars in the Big Ten collide next Saturday at Minneapolis, and the result may blast all pre-season Western Conference foot ball cham- plonship “dope” sky high. Purdue's Boilermakers, winners by decisive margins of three games in as many starts, oppose Minnesota’s power house in the day's outstanding grid battle in the Midwest. Minnesota, co- champion in 1935 with Ohio State, was the “Winter book” favorite to repeat, while Purdue, hard hit by a tragic shower-room explosion fatally injuring two regulars, was given only slight championship consideration. Have Great Touchdown Pair. 'HE Boilermakers, in trouncing Wis- consin and Chicago, showed a powerful backfield in Cecil Isbell, John Drake, Fred Stalcup and Wayne Gift. Minnesota has power and speed aplenty in Andy Uram, Julius Alphonse, Bud Wilkinson, Vic Spadaccini, Thompson, ! Matheny, Gmitro and Moore. Uram, whose brilllant 79-yard run beat Ne- braska two Saturdays back, and Al- phonse Stack up with the Big Ten's best, but in Isbell and Drake the Boilermakers have a pair of touchdown producers extraordinary. Isbell, 6-foot, 185-pounder, moved from halfback to fullback, scored once against Chicago Saturday and passed for three other touchdowns as the Maroons bowed, 35 to 7. He did everything well—ran, passed and kicked—and if the Gophers stop him their victory streak probably will reach 21 straight by next Saturday night. Coach Bernie Bierman's team had little trouble defeating Michigan Saturday, 26 to 0. Illinois Shows Improvement. ORTHWESTERN, which came from behind to beat Ohio State in a 14-t0-13 thriller, plays the rapid- ly improving Ilinois eleven. The ‘Wildcats will be favored, but Illinois, with several good sophomores, showed increased experience and a stubborn defense Saturday in a scoreless tie with Towa. Indiana, which lost to Nebraska, 13 to 9, after leading through the first half, plays Ohio State in a game which may be a battle of the air lanes. Michigan, loser of two con= ference games, goes outside the Big Ten in hope of victory, meeting Coe lumbia at Ann Arbor. Chicago, Wis= consin and Iowa have open dates. The Badgers lost Saturday to Notre Dame, 27 to 0, making a great scrap of it in the first half before being worn down. Thomas (Contihued From Twelfth Page.) Carolina State, 9-0; Wofford, 32-0, and Clemson, 6-0, and lost only to North Carolina 1 In the North Carolina game Wake Forest held a 7-0 lead until the final quarter. ‘You may remember that Wake For- est defeated George Washington last season 7-6. It comes to the Capital this time with a stronger, more sea- soned team, including 16 letter men, with 9 of them in the starting line-up. And the Colonials, after those ter- rific battles with Mississippi and Are kansas, may be due for a let-down. AMERICAN UNIVERSITYB squad, which, before the season opened lost five men upon whom it was de- pending, is battling on undiscouraged, showing improvement with every game.

CHICAGO, October 19 (#) .—Al- though his teammate, Cecil Isbell, stole the starring honors Saturday | against Chicago, John Drake, hard- | ariving Purdue halfback, clung to the Western Conference scoring leader- | ship today with a total of 24 points. Drake scored once against the Ma- roons to bring his touchdown total| to four. Isbell, who scored once and | Kkicked four extra points against Chi- cago, now has 19 points, while Don Geyer, Northwestern fullback, brought his Big Ten total to 17 points with | one touchdown and two conversions | Saturday against Ohio State. Those three players are far ahead of the other conference backs, many of whom have scored once in Big Ten games. 14; Ports- 7; Norfolk ERE'’S the answer to the question:“What anti-freeze should I buy this winter?”” “Zerone,” becauseinascientifictest, Zerone” kept water from freezing at 215° below zero!

BILLY SHEA, DEVELOPED FAST Yoder Ranked Second, Fol- lowed by Peacock, Rippy, Shea and Burnett. OBBY BROWNELL, youthfyl District junior golf champion, is the No. 1 amateur golfer around Washington this year. Based solely on his record over the past eight months of competition, the slim Manor and Indian Spring ciub- swinger rates the top spot among the amateur golfers hereabout. Hitherto unranked, the Brownell boy has had & season of spectacular success, crowned by decisive victory in the District championship. Levi Yoder, Middle Atlantic cham- pion from the Kenwood Club, who licked Brownell in his conquest of the mid-Atlantic crown, is the No. 2 ranking golfer of the year. Men who | win big sectional championships, top- ping all the others at match play, rate top positions. Brownell and Yoder | did this. Here are the 1936 ratings of the leading amateur golfers of the city: 1—Bobby Brownell, Manor and In- | dian Spring. 2—Levi Yoder, Kenwood Golf and Country Club. 3—Roger S. Peacock, Congressional | Country Club. 4—Claude Rippy, East Potomac| Golf Club. | 5—Billy Shea, Congressional Coun- try Club. 6—Volney G. Burnett, Spring Country Club. 7—Billy Dettweiler, Country Club, Indian | Congressional Peacock’s Year Disappointing. had a disappointing year. Unable to practice the long hours of past years, Roger’s | game never quite attained the peak it reached in 1935, barring a round or | two. Notable examples of the smooth- | stroking Peacock of old were the 67 he shot at Columbia in the sectional | qualifying rounds for the amateur | championship, and a few scores he | had over Congressional. But in the District title tourney, which he won in 1935, Roger hardly reached the crest he held last year, | and he was bumped off in the Mary- land State by a guy he could lick without half trying. Claude Rippy, District mumnpal‘ champlon, could well be rated higher than No. 4. ‘The fine golf of the king of the public links enabled him | to get to the final of the national public links championship, and he | also qualified for and won a match in the national amateur. But Rippy | didn't plsy in many other tourna- | ments in which Yoder, Peacock and | Brownell took part. PEACOCK Billy Shea Proves Consistent. Congressional young- | ster, won the Middle Atlantic junior, lost by a single hole to Brow- nell in the District junior, again lost | by a single hole to Brownwell in the | District amateur, and demonstrated remarkable consistency over the su—‘ son. He is rated No. 5 and probably will be higher next year. Volney Burnett, the golfing fireman | from Indian Spring, had a good sea- | son which fell just short of ranking him up among the top three.

Western is starting the series with its lightest team in years, the squad averaging only 135 pounds. Pepper, Wight, Simpson and Her= ron, who compose the backfleld, ‘weigh less than 140. The Continental rollers set a new record in the District Bowle ing League with & game of 655. ‘Those participating in the game and their scores were: Wright, 153; Chapin, 145; Loveless, 136; Manghum, 115, and Oehler, 106. Sidney Hatch, Chicago veteran amateur marathoner, set a new record when he finished a 95-mile run from Milwaukee to Chicago in 14 hours, 50 minutes and 30 sec- onds. He beat the former record between the two cities by 4 hours and 7 minutes. But he didn't show to any great exe tent in the mid-Atlantic and the Dis- trict championships. Nevertheless he played well enough to rate well up. Bernie Hallock, surprise winner of the Kenwood invitation tournament; Ralph Quinter, winner at Chevy Chase, and Billy Dettweiler, a con- sistently good golfer over the season, all might rate well up had they gone far in the title tournaments. But outside of Hallock’s win at Kenwood, and Quinter'’s victory in the Chevy Chase affair, they didn't do a great deal. The others outperformed them on the record of the season. Brownell Developed Fast. BROWNELL came fast as a develop- ing golfer. Most youngsters do just that. One of the finest chippers ever developed around Washington, | Bobby won many a match with his unerring shots from just off the green. He is long enough from the tee, and straight enough with the irons, but he needs seasoning and experience in the big events to go anywhere nae | tionally. Peacock has had the seasoning, but Roger never quite found his game at Garden City. “I never felt comfort- | able up there,” he said. “And I never felt as if I could hit the ball | the way I wanted to hit it.” Never- theless he licked Dr. William Twed- dell, captain of the British Walker Cup team. Yoder, conqueror of Francis Oui- | met in the 1935 amateur champion- ship, might well have snuffed out Jack McLean, the Scottish runner- up for the championship this year | had he hit an accurate iron shot to the eighteenth green in their third round match. As it was, McLean licked him 1 up, and went on to the final. 8o you see there isn't so much dif- ference between Yoder and the guy who might well have won the na- tional, had a stymie not cropped up on the thirty-fifth hole of the final round. Yoder is a darned good golfer. Nothing disturbs him, and he plays with his head as well as his clubs. Don't be surprised next year if the tall pine from Linville makes a sweep of all the tournaments around Washe ington. POTOMAC TIRE CO. 28th & M N.W.
