That Rickey was kidding some the Cubs or the Giants were not con- sidered in a trade involving Dean. and Philadelphia. How Rickey ex- pects even the great Diz to win that Phils or the hustling Reds under Chuck Dressen, he does not state. More Than Diz Needed. EAN is a one-man pitching staff for any club, but expecting him to carry the entire load for such clubs as the Reds or Phils does not Jibe with past performances. It will be recalled that Dean could not pitch the Cards into a pennant in the 1935 and 1936 campaigns. The Cards are fully 80 per cent stronger than the clubs mentioned in the likely trade. Great pitchers have come out of the Phillies’ and Reds’ ranks, yet none of them was able to pitch the clubs out of the second division. Taking over Lon Warneke is not taken to mean that the Cards are all set for the 1937 pennant scramble. Paul Dean is a problem and will re- main one until he gets over the idea there is something wrong with him. | If Paul Winters well at his Dallas home and reports for Spring train- ing in a better frame of mind than last Spring, “me, Paul and Lonnie,” as Dizzy will express himself, will | cause plenty of trouble for the Giants | and the Cubs.

There is no doubt he would like to have Paul Derringer back again. would sure look swell in a Cardinal | uniform. But Wilson and Dressen are not passing up these hurlers with- | out something of a substantial sort being given in exchange. Must Be Rickey’s Joke.

The latter is on the look- out for a good right-hander and Dizzy Dean comes under that category. Pie might be induced to give up Cy Blanton, Mace Brown and Steamboat Struss. With Johnny Dickshot com- ing back from Montreal, the Pirates with Dizzy Dean would figure to make it too all-fired hot for the Giants, Cubs and Cards. Getting down to brass tacks, it looks as though Rickey is just hav- ing his little joke and, when the opening game comes around, Dean will be on the mound for his old team. FEARS TERPS’ SWEEPS Richmond Gives Most of Drill to Defensive Measures. RICHMOND, Va., November 3 (#).— Defensive measures occupied the en- tire attention of the University of Richmond Spiders terday as they prepared for Saturday’s meeting with Maryland's Old Liners. Most of the time was spent by Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite in drilling his ends against sweeps, but at the close of the workout the veteran mentor said he was far from satisfied. Alternating at one end was the injured A. B. Marchant and Buddy Lawless, while Arthur Gore and Bill Morrison were taking turns at the other flank. All &re sophomores. SR AR AR LT, G. W. GETS COURT STARS Hollidge, Shaner Were Mainstays of Eastern High Quint. Hopes for continued success in basket ball, which has marked its varsity teams for the past two seasons were aroused today at George Washington University, where it became known that Chick Hollidge and Buddy Shaner, former members of Eastern’s interhigh champions, had enrolled. Hollidge was an all-high forward for three years and, with Shaner, formed one of the most brilliant pass- ing combinations seen here in high school circles in recent years. The for- mer also was high-point scorer of the series last year, scoring 81 points in eight games, or a little better than an And Claude Passeau | Warm Welcome for Cplonials 3 .33 Back from their gritty battle against Rice Institute’s Owls at Houston, and wearing 10-gallon hats typical of Teras’ wide open spaces, the G.

George Washington, that lost to Rice; Maryland, conquered by Florida, and Catholic University, victim of Loyola at New Orleans, all fell back in the | table. Still figured the best of the Capital area, the Colonials lost nearly a | point in dropping to a rating of 80.8 and backed from 47th to 53d in the National list. Maryland, 56th with a rating of 78 last week, now is 62d with a rating of 76.5. The Cardinals fell from 81st to 88th and in rating from 71.3 to 69.1. Even Georgetown that romped to a fat victory over little Shenandoah dropped in standing and rating. It went from 63d to 66th place and from 76.2 to 75.8. These ratings represent respectively each team’s efficiency of consistent performance. They do not always indicate a direct guage of the possible strength of each team. * Each rating in the table below is the current average of the game ratings for each respective team. The figures in the right-hand column are the more important. The listing figures in the left-hand column are merely for con- venience in giving the fractional differences in order. Despite the numerous upsets last week the Williamson predictions 87.2 per cent correct. Their season efficiency is 87.3 per cent.

HE question “Which is the best night at the Garden?” invari- ably arises about this time of the year when all horse lovers begin to cock an eye at the National Horse Show arena in New York. The enthusiasts who cannot get away for the full seven days of brilliant com= petition like to take time off only for the best, and it is supposedly the job of the newspapers to help them ar- range the most profitable visit pos- sible. ‘This year that task is not an easy one, the stakes for harness horses, saddlers, hunters and jumpers being strung out in more or less even spac- ing and balance. Inasmuch as the spectator from Washington, Virginia or Maryland is apt to be most inter- ested in the hunter and jumper classes, however, it may be some help to list the more important items in these divisions according to chronol= ogy: ‘Tomorrow (opening day)—First round of the international military team three-day jumping cofhpetition, for challenge trophy presented by President Arturo Allesandri of Chile. At night session. Trophies at Stake. 'HURSDAY—At night session, sec- ond round of the above, and the Irish Army Challenge Trophy, for open jumpers, military and civilian. Friday—Afternoon, Corinthian class and the Frank Melville, jr. Trophy, for hunters. Also Brooks-Bright Foundation Challenge Cup for jump- ers. Night session, third round, mili- tary teams. Saturday—Afternoon, A. S. P. C. A, competitions for the Good-hands Cup and Alfred Maclay Trophy, for chil- dren under 17. Night session, Wharton Memorial Trophy for ladies’ hunters, Bowman Trophy for military jumpers. Sunday—Night session, $1,000 inter- national military stake. Police and National Guard teams. Scurry stake. Monday—Afternoon, Charles L. Scott Trophy for military jumpers. Henry Dickinson Memorial Trophy for hunters. Night session, international individual military championship. Tuesday—Morning, $1,000 open jumper stake. Afternoon, $1,000 hunt- er stake. Night, International Military Perpetual Trophy for military teams. Plenty of Jumping. EVERY night except Sunday there will be a round of the touch-and- out jumping sweepstake. This, of course, adds up to only a specialized portion of the complete show, with stakes for other types of horses scattered throughout every day and night. While the primary in- terest of this section lies in the horses that go over fences, the other competi- tions may also be welcomed as a nov- elty relieving the monotony of exhibi- tions that are all more or less alike hereabouts.

VWildcats Settle Big Ten Debate BY GUS DORAIS, Detroit Coach. Dl.'flwa. Mich., November 3.— unanimously VOLNEY BURNETT drops down & step or two in sheer class, and he will be a favorite to win when Ed Burns pulls off his turkey tournament at Rock Creek Park starting next week. But that doesn’t mean that Volney cannot be licked. The Indian Spring titleholder and one of the ranking golfers of the city won a big, fat turkey last Fall in the Thanksgiving tourney, and he's going back for more this year. Those toothsome birds mu$t be good medicine for Volney. OVER that short and tricky little Rock Creek Park course anything can happen. A thing like Volney Burnett getting bumped off may hap- pen, although the fire laddie from In- dian Spring will be a favorite to win, and rightly so. The guy is plenty good and there isn't an amateur around Washington hitting the ball straighter than Volney Burnett, BUT he’ll have plenty of opposition, 38 of 'em so far, and among them such rugged shotmakers as Pat Ax- tell, one of the qualifiers for:the na- tional public links tourney; Andy Oliveri, municipal junior champ; Bob Lempley, “Kaiser” Wilhelm, Herman Allen, a gent who hits 'em on a string; Ed Burns and Ernie Garlen. And there’s a woman in the tourney, t00. Betty Garber is looking for a turkey in the women’s flight, if there are enough femmes entered to make one up. The medal round wjll be played next Monday or Tuesday, with the first round to be finished November 13, the second round slated to.end November 16, the third round to wind | up by November 19 and the final to be played by November 22. An- other tourney will be run off at East Potomac Park concurrently. FRED MCcLEOD,” Columbia pro, doesn’t think this golf thing is so tough.

But the P. G. A. magazine classes it as a rumor. Wiffy has nothing to say. Wifty looked at a sample of fairly good amateur golf yesterday as he played at Indian Spring with Roger Peacock and some of his fellow pros, and saw Roger clock the ball around his home layout in 69 strokes, which happens to be twa shots better than par. Roger picked up an eagle 3 on the par 5 sixteenth, where he reached the green with two big wooden club shots and holed a good put for the 3. That isn't often being done these days of slow fairways. Bab Burnett led the pro parade with a round of 72, followed by Cox with 73; Leo Walper with 74 and Fitzgerald holed a pitch shot from a trap at the first hole, but wound up with an 80, Weaver and McGill have reached the final round in the October tour- ney of the “Oily Boids,” those en- terprising gents who greet the sun at Rock Creek Park almost any morn- ing.

AKING & leaf from the book of chunky little George Diffen- baugh, District’ open chame pion, tow-headed Bobby Brow- nell, the District amateur and Dis- trict junior king, has raised his game from ordinary levels this year by chip- ping and putting like a wizard. Putting seems to come easy to all kid golfers. They take a look at the hole, at the line and just bang 'em in without any fear of missing. But without an accurate and dependable | chip shot no one can get close enough | to hole the next putt, and the golfer | yet hasn’t been developed who can hit | all the greens in a round of 18 holes. Bobby plays the shot in a different | maner from Diffenbaugh, his tutor. | Where George rolls 'em up with a No.3 | iron or even a No. 5, Bobby grabs from | his capacious golf bag a battle-scarred No. 8 iron, a round-backed implement | with which he is Old Man Accuracy himself. & Plays Modified Pitch, Run. | HERE George plays the ball to run all the way, Bobby plays a | modified pitch and run, for his shot pitches a good part of the way and pulls up with a decided cut. And where George is scared of the 4-foot putts Bobby never gives 'em a second thought. | 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR MRS.
