Riders Get Second Place In Military Jumping Contests HOYAS' DOWNFALL 1S SEEN BY CRITI Maryland Held Superior to Richmond—Penn Choice Over Michigan. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associatea Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 6.—Ven- turing life and limb in the performance of duty and ex- pecting no quarter, this corner goes into its weekly spin, bounces meatly off the side cushion, and, still whirling dizzily, comes up with the following non-political remarks on this week's foot ball program: Fordham-Purdue—This is the one the Rams have got to win if their auditory organs are to be tuned in on the same wave-length as the annual Rose Bowl bid. Successive blistering games with St, Mary’s and Pitt, how- ever, may have chipped off some of the granite of that Fordham line. This corner likes Purdue in a game the “breaks” may decide. Alabama-Tulane—Barring a tie, this is where one or the other of these unbeaten arrays runs off the rails. Tulane’s defense looks the more vulnerable, but the Green Wave's fleet backs add up to potent scoring power. Tulane, narrowly. Navy-Notre Dame—Sooner or later this Navy outfit is going to cash in on its undoubted strength on the ground and through the air. On a hunch that tomorrow’s the day for the Tars’ awakening, Navy. Penn-Michigan—The worst of Mich- fgan's teams whip intersectional rivals, but Penn, after more than two years of frustration, finally seems to have Bocated the victory trail. Penn. Northwestern Is Safe. NORTHWFSTERN - WISCONSIN— ¢ Northwestern can afford a big | letdown after the Minnesota victory | and still hold this one safe. Minnesota-Iowa—Iowa a sacrifice to the Gophers' wrath over the fractur- ing of their long winning streak. Stanford-Washington — Stanford's ©n the way back, but this department sticks with Washington to the bitter end. Southern Methodist-Texas A. and M —The Mustangs of S. M. U. to hurdle another Southwest Conference 'mival. Boston College-North Carolina Btate—Boston College by a nose. Dartmouth-Columbia—Columbia, it @ppears, takes the sleeper jump to Hanover just for its third defeat. Harvard-Virginia—Harvard. Holy Cross-Colgate—One of the toughest of them all to figure. It's doubtful if Colgate can rise to the heights it reached in toppling Army and this faint nod goes to Holy Cross. New York University-Carnegie— Carnegie’s defense looks too rugged for the Violets. Pitt-Penn State—Pitt. e Defeat Seen for Hoyas. PRINCE'I’ON-CORNELL—T}'AE Cor- nells make too many mistakes, but they're tough. Princeton, after a Bstruggle. ‘West Virginia-Georgetown—The air- iminded Mountaineers to ruin George- town’s undefeated record. Yale-Brown—No hope for Brown | here. Detroit-Bucknell—Detroit to beat the team that beat the team that beat Detroit. (Elucidatory note: Villanova beat Detroit, but lost to Bucknell.) Indiana-Syracuse—Indiana, easily. Michigan State-Temple—The Spar- dans are due to win one but they'll have to return to early season form to beat Temple. Michigan State, nar- rowly. Ohio State-Chicago—Disappointing Bs the Buckeyes are, they must be picked for this one. Oklshoma-Kansas State—Not much %o choose. Oklahoma. Kansas-Nebraska—Nebraska. Arkansas Over Rice. RKANSAS-RICE—Ditto Arkansas. Baylor-Oklahoma City—Baylor.\ Louisiana State-Mississippi State— probably close, but Louisiana is the ghoice, Georgia Tech-Auburn—Tech seems 8o have fallen apart. Auburn, in spite ©of the fact the Plainsmen have just fnished a transcontinental round- Lrip. Florida-Georgia—Neither has shown guch. Florida. Wake Forest-Duke—Deacon vs. Blue Devil, with the odds all in the latter’s favor. Duke. Davidson-North Carolina—The spot For an upset, perhaps, but we'll take North Carolina. South- Carolina-Villanova—The in- baders from the North look too btrong. C. U.-W. Va. Wes. C. U. Stadium Tomorrow at 2. Catholic U. Pos. W. Va. Wesl'an. 69 Schmarr(c.). L.E. Broadwater.. 16 L.T.

Asserting his disfavor of Puerto Rico as a training spot for the fifth- placers of last season’s National League race, Giles said it remainded to be seen whether the Reds would “get out of” a contract for a return trip, entered into months ago by Larry S. MacPhail, his predecessor., Likes Tampa for Training. "I DO NOT favor the Reds training in San Juan,” he said. “I be- lieve they can get all the training they need in Florida, and I consider Tampa rln ideal place.” “I'd be silly to say I didn't want him,” said Giles, when asked about reports that he might acquire Dizzy Dean, - the St. Louis Cardinals’ ace hurler. “As I said before, Mr. Crosley (Pow- el Crosley, jr., club president) is will- ing to pay any reasonable sum for him, but I do not believe he would be willing to sacrifice any of the Reds’ playing ‘strength to make such a | deal” Manhattan-Kentucky—Resorting to the coin, Kentucky.

Y, November 6—The French Army team con- tinued to hold a safe lead over the military aggregations of six other nations here last night as the second round of international military jumping competition was run off as the high light of the National Horse Show. Under the conditions set down for rivalry between nations competing for the Challenge Cup offered by Pres- ident Arturo Allesandri of Chile, the scoring in the second round is based on the performance of teams of two horses. The gentlemen from Paris and en- virons held an advantage of four points over their nearest competitors at the close of the first heat and last night they ylelded only a fraction to the United States Army horse show team, which now stands in second place. The Chileans, the British and the Americans were on equal footing until last evening. Only the United States, however, was able to edge up a notch. The team of Renzo and Wampum, handled by Lieut. R. W. Curtis and Capt. M. H, Matteson, went absolutely clean and in perfect pair formation to leave the American score untouched. The Swedish officers, dawdling away in last place on opening night, also put up a perfect showing, but it avail- ed them little. Close behind the North Americans came the clever riders from South America, the Chileans, who added only one and one-half points to their total of 23. As the board now reads the French have 191, faults against them, the United States 23, Chile 243; and the Ca- nadian Army is in fourth place with 34%. 8ince one good solid rap of a fence can offset all the skill and brilliance of previous performances, the closing round of the team event tonight prom- ises to be a minor riot for the par- tisans of the Irish, the natives and other nations which invariably find a following in the cosmopolitan audi- ence of 10,000 or so gathered in this arena of erstwhile less fashionable sports. Randle’s Pride Wins. TH:! second major tally hung up to the credit of the Southern in- vasion went to U. §. Randle's for- midable Randle’s Pride at the start of the night session. Pride outjumped - | the best horses of four nations to take the blue in the skyscraper, over a course topped by two 5-foot, 6-inch fences. Somewhat later in the game, nevertheless, the joy of the Randle + stables skidded behind the eight ball by making a perfectly foul jump in the touch-and-out sweepstake and pitching Robby Robey on his face. Robey collected nothing more than a mouthful of dirt and a bad disposi- tion in the accident, but his somer- sault gave the crowd a turn. Irish Trophy to United States. FOR the second successive year, the United States Army horse show nation-wide sensation. And it's BLACK svede, an important new development that is headed for style headlines.

This year the trick was turned by Don, Ugly and Frolax, with Lieut. Curtis, Capt. Matteson and Maj. Cole riding. Second place went to a civillan American team owned by Mrs, Julius Bliss, and the French army team placed third. Since this trial was judged under National Horse Show Association rules, as op- posed to those of the International Equestrian Federation, it could not be regarded as a fair indicator of the future possibilities of the horses con- cerned. Under the former rulings, ticks are counted, while under the lat- ter a horse loses nothing so long as he does not actually knock down or refuse a fence. ‘The second stanza of the touch-and- out sweepstakes last night ended with Freddie Wettach in first place on his big chestnut jumper By Request, while Miss Bettina Hall's Tit Bits was sec- ond.

LOUIS, November 6.—Bur- leigh Grimes, newly appointed manager of the Brooklyn Dodg- ers, made it plain today that he does not care much about the idea of swapping Van Lingle Mungo, Brooklyn's pitching ace, for the Car- dinal gate attraction, Dizzy Dean. Grimes, a former member of both the Brooklyn and Cardinal clubs, was visiting at the St. Louis home of Andy High, a former teammate, when no- tified yesterday of his appointment. “I know there's been much said about Mungo and Dizzy Dean,” Grimes stated. “I'd like to have Dizzy, sure. Any manager would. But 1 want to say this about Mungo: I like his type. He's big, strong, fase and young. He should last a long time; longer than Dizzy, I'd say, as|. . he's a little younger. “With Mungo on the team, I have only him to contend with, but when you have Dizzy Dean you have more than just a star pitcher to think of. He's a great pitcher, no doubt about it, but if you ask me as between Mungo and Dizzy, I'll be honest with you. I like 'em to be like Mungo. And in saying that I do not wish to reflect any on Dizzy, a fine fellow.” Grimes said, “I'll not even think of trades” until after talking with Brook- 1yn officials.

EW YORK, November 6.—Dis- trict of Columbia horses, mak- ing their first serious invasion of the national horse show in almost & decade, tasted victory for the first time last night when U. 8. Randle’s consistent black gelding, Randle’s Pride, out-jumped the pride of four nations in the skyscraper, a test requiring competitors to go twice around a course of three jumps graded from 4 feet 6 inches up to 5 feet 6. Ridden by Bobby Robey of Washington, Randle’s Pride beat out s game and able fleld of 30 horses to take the blue, the second badge of victory annexed by horses from the South. The first was earned on open- 28 ing night by Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Grey Knight, the famous old cam- paigner of Llangollen, which is mak- ing a come-back in the big league this season after almost two years' rest.
