The 'Gators have & strong line, as evidenced from the fact that only 14 points have been scored against them in four games. | }SA[ARY CUTS DUE They have beaten the Citadel and | Stetson, and lost, by counts of 7-0, to South Carolina and Kentucky. On the strength of stiff battles with St. John's of Annapolis and the Coast Guard Academy, the Eagles figured to have a slightly better than even chance against Bridgewater, which has won only one game. The Virginians defeated Gallaudet, 18 to 0; tied Wil- son Teachers, 0-0, and lost to Juniata, 25-0. The Gallaudet-Wilson game loomed as a toss-up. Neither is strong, but they are almost evenly matched and interest in this tilt between the “little fellows” of local foot ball promised to rival that shown in the Georgetown- Bhenandoah game. Hoyas Have It Easy. F ALL the local elevens, of course. Georgetown faced the easiest time. Coach Jack Hagerty planned to use his substitutes most of the game, giving the regulars only enough ac- tion to keep them sharp for the West Virginia and Maryland tussles to come. It is not likely, however, that Georgetown will run over the Virginia eleven as did Catholic University last month, when it whipped Shenandoah, 81 to 0. Hagerty was to take few chances of injuring players and Shen- andoah, according to reports, has im- proved consideratly since the Cardinal debacle. After dropping that lop-sided de- | cision, as well as one earlier to West- | ern Maryland, Shenandoah, rallied to whip Shepherd, 26-6, and last week it defeated William and Mary, 6-0.

OW can a golfing guy get a H birdie 3 on a rugged par 4 hole without ever touching the fairway or the green? Ask Bob Barnett, the dandy little shot- | maker who holds down the professional berth at the Chevy Chase Club. He knows how it can be done, for he's just gone and done it. JT HAPPENS about once a year around Washington and usually it occurs when the perpetrator of the miracle has been wandering around from bunker to bunker, chewing sand out of his teeth and shaking it out of his hair. But Bob didn't shake any sand out of his hair as he knocked a niblick shot gmack into the cup on the second hole at Columbia yester- day for the bird 3, which culminated his play to this hole in a big wind | which pushed tee shots and second shots far from the spot to which they were directed. ‘PLAY!NG with Roland MacKenzie | and Luther C.

No pro around Washington plays the wind any better than does Bob Bér- nett, and he freely admits he owes it all to the practice he has had down in the roistering winds off the Gulf Stream, 3 or 4 miles from Indian Creek. ‘WO years ago we played a round of golf with him over that par 70 layout and saw him fade ’em and hook 'em to take advantage of a near gale.

EW YORK, October 31.—There was no obvious activity in the 16 major league base ball offices today, but the club owners were calmly stirring up a hurricane of trouble just the same. | They were working on the 1937 | base ball salaries, an innocent-looking mathematical procedure calculated this year to involve some of the game’s famous players in a few first- | class wrangles. | Generally based on the uncom- | promising arithmetic of the batting | and pitching averages, salary cuts vere expected for Paul Dean, Car- dinals’ pitcher; Buddy Myer, Wash- | ington’s 1935 American League bat- ting champion, and Hank Greenberg, | the Tigers’ long-hitting first base- man, among others. These three appeared to be in the toughest spots. Myer won the bat- | ting crown with an average of .349. | This year he cut that figure down 80 points and played only about a month. before last, held out for more money last Spring and then broke his wrist after playing 12 games. Paul Dean also came up with a bad arm and finished the season with five games won and as many lost. He was paid off for this on the basis of winning 19 and losing 12 the year before., Gold Sox Due Shakedown. AD news also appeared to be on the way for Arky Vaughan, the| 1935 National League batting star, whose record .385 dwindled 51 points this season; Hank Leiber, Giants’ outflelder, who fell off at bat and lost his regular position; Augie Galan, star of the Cubs’ 1935 pennant dash, whose average shrank 50 points to .264; Virgil Davis, Cards’ catcher, Wwho finished with a mark of .268; | Hal Lee of the Bees, who dropped from .303 to .249, and Gabby Hart- nett of the Cubs, who is falling into legend. Nor does the National League have| a corner on the bad news. In addi- tion to Myer and Greenberg, a gen-| eral shakedown was expected for the | gold-plated Boston Red Sox, with an extra shake for Roger Cramer, whose 1935 average of .332 fell away to 291; Al Cooke, who slumped from .306 to .273, and Mel Almada, who pulled up this year with a mark of 253, Even some of the pitchers will be cooled off. In the National League the general pay raise anticipated for most of the winning Giants is not likely to spread to Hal Schumacher’s envelope. He won 19 and iost 9 in 1935, but won only 11 and lost 13 last season. Charlie Root of the Cubs is also in a bad way. He won only BEN WEBSTER’S CAREER.

Ted Lyons, White Sox; Mel Harder and Willis Hudlin, Indians, and Fred Ostermuel- ler and Wes Ferrell, Red Sox, also are in poor dickering positions. Ferrell’s record of 20 won and 15 lost, while not as good as the 1935 record of 25 and 14, is good enough, but his record of this year includes one serious charge of insubordination. Crowder, who won 16 and lost 10 in 1935, won only four this year; Lyons fell well below his former standard with 10 won and 13 lost; Harder, who won 22 and lost 11 in '35, broke even with 15 and 15, Hudlin won only one game this year after winning 15 the year before.

Weaver | M: " SPORTS PREP CROWN BID | Contenders for Welter Title Stage Hot Draw MADE BY LANDON Highly Rated After Defeat of Wilson—Little Hoyas, St. Albans Tie. HREE prep school foot ball teams were claiming a share in the spotlight today, but al- though St. Albans and George- town Prep both had reasons to be satisfled with their 6-6 tie, it was Landon whose bid to dominate the situation was strongest. Woodward revealed little power in its 7-0 victory over Friends. Succeeding where two of its rivals had falled, Landon not only handed Woodrow Wilson High the first de- feat in its history at Bethesda, but did it by the impressive score of 18-0. Previously, the newest of the local high schools had scored over St. Albans and Friends. For Lan- don, it was the third victory in four starts this season. Hughes Is Landon’s Star. LTHOUGH all of the Colonels collaborated in presenting one of the smoothest combinations Landon has ever had, it was Huck Hughes who was the outstanding star in each of the winner's three touchdowns. | On the second play of the game, Hughes threw a 30-yard pass to mid- field and after a 20-yard run through a broken field, went over center for | the first score. Another well-timed toss by Hughes in the third quarter accounted for the second touchdown when Berkley snagged a 30-yard pass and eluded a mass of enemy tacklers to run 25 | yards for a touchdown. Hughes and i Berkley again collaborated for the last | 6-pointer with a series of laterals and reverse plays, the former romping over from the 18-yard line when his mates opened a big hole at tackle. Landon’s sturdy line refused to yield at any time and Wilson made its gains chiefly on wide end runs and passes. Pos. Wilson (). Landon (18) hy NWEOIITA wnTwm-S0 O _Po e | 00— 0 6 6—18 2). Berkley.

OWLING'S first big treat of the | 1936-7 season is presented at Convention Hall this after- | noon and tonight, when Astor | Clarke, Washington’s nationally-rank- | ing No. 1 pin-spiller, meets Meyer Jacobson, Baltimore's current best, in the first 10 games of a 20-game match. The head-to-head clash, instituted | by the challenge of tomight's visitor, will be concluded at Baltimore tomor- row. This afternoon’s block starts at 2:30 o'clock and tonight's at 8. Ever since the two finished only 12 sticks apart to end the Southern Inter- City League campaign last season with mutual averages of 127, dis- | cussion as to the better roller has waxed loud and strong. Many insist- ed Astor’s 127-1 medium for 75 games deserved higher rating than Jacobson's 1127-1, compiled over a stretch 15 games shorter than the Occidental ace. Clarke's claim to the national cham- pionship was undisputed by Jake, however, when the latter failed to go to the national sweepstakes at Hart- ford, where Astor gained the United States No. 1 title for the Capital. | It is likely that a capacity crowd will view the match between the man who is acknowledged as the | country’s foremost star today and one who seriously threatens his re- tention of supremacy.

ENRY EDWARDS, Cleveland newspaper man, insists that the two major leagues will get together this Fall to abolish the spit ball. Although he has worked out no details of the plan, Ed- wards suggests that the new crop of pitchers coming up next Spring be prevented from throwing the spitter, although permitting vet- erans now using the freak delivery to continue it for the remainder of their careers. The Washington Base Ball Club made a profit of between $25,000 and $30,000 during the 1916 sea- son, all of which will go toward reducing the club’s outstanding in- debtedness. Records show that more persons attended Washing- ton’s Lome games the last season than in 1915. Business was to meet its first opponent in the inter-high foot ball series when it faced Central at American League Park. These two teams are among the three picked as the strongest in the series, Tech being the third. F ighis Last Night By the Assoctated Press.

Referee Billy Cavanaugh scored seven for Janazzo and six for Garcia; Eddie Forbes, one of the judges, cred- ited Garcia with eight rounds and the other judge, Patsy Haley, called it all square, with seven rounds to each and one even. Garcia, the Filipino from Los An- geles, scored the only knockdown, catching Janazzo on the side of the head with a right early in the eighth round and dropping him for a count of one. The $500 bonus which John- ston had offered for a knockout led to a rather tame start, as both boys sparred for openings for a finishing clout.

Each Win- pete. Eynon Plan Not Followed. OME years back Eddie Eynon, sec- retary of the Washington Base Ball Club, tried out a new method of getting the National batters to adopt a modified golf swing, the main idea being to strive for placement of base hits. Maybe it worked, but nothing much has been done along that line in recent years, at least by the local entry in the American League pennant chase. Ed knows what it's all about, for in his heyday as a golfer he was one of the most accurate of the longer hitters. But Uncle Clark frowns on golf dur- ing the ball-playing season. Of course, a lot of ball games have been played since Sam Rice left the Nats, but we still recall how Sam on a day off used to hike out to Indian Spring during the season and mooch a round f he could get away from the keen eye of bushy-browed Clark. Griff himself used to play at Indian Spring (still does), and it was funny to see Sam trying to concentrate on hitting a golf ball and at the same time keep a weather eye out for his boss. Good for Batter, Says Rice. MANY a time (it may be told now) Sam had to hike across fairways to keep away from Griffl. And Sam, in those days and despite Grif’s edict against ball-playing-season golf, mane aged to keep his batting average up. Sam thought then—and thinks to= day—that golf is a definite aid to ball players. “The swing is essentially the same,” he says, “and any ball player would be better off if he learned to place his hits, as golfers must place their shots.” Sam probably was the best of the linksmen among the Nationals. Twice Sam won the southpaw golf champion= ship of the city, and many a time he has mauled the ball around that tough Indian Spring layout in par or better. His batting, too, managed to stay up around and above the .300 mark over the years. e LOOKING FAR AHEAD Greensboro Lad, 16, Training for Olympic Tumbling Team. GREENSBORO, N. C.
