(A5 Maureen Orcutt Only Favorite Out of National Title Go TODAY'S ROUNDS LIST HOT BATILES Mrs. Vare and Mrs. Turpie | Clashing—Dorothy Kirby Proves Big Threat. By the Associated Press. EMPHIS, Tenn., October 6.— Thirty-two aspirants to the national women's golf title headed today into two rounds of “sudden death” matches from which only eight can emerge un- beaten. Only Maureen Orcutt, Haworth, N. J, veteran ard 1936 finalist, was missing from the list of favorites who lined up for the morning matches that will be followed by another round of elimination this afternoon. She was the first-round victim of Mrs. George Brantley of Jacksonville, Fla, who met the medalist, Mrs. Es- telle Lawson Page, of Greensboro, N. C., today. Mrs. Page eliminated Marian Leach- man of Berkeley, Calif, 3 and 2, yes- terday. Marion Miley IlI. THERE was a possibility Marion Miley, highly-rated entrant from Cincinnati, would be unable to con- tinue competition. She defeated Vir- ginia Fox of Hershey, Pa., 6 and 4. yesterday, but entered a hospital a few hours later, suffering from a stomach’ ailment. Her physician said she might be able to play if her fever went down. Miss - Miley’s second-round opponent was Mary Kuhn of Aspinwall, Pa., the winner to meet the victor in the tile between Mrs. Opal S. Hill, Kansas City, Mo., and Marion Hollins of Santa Cruz, Calif. Other second-round features brought together Kathryn Hemphill of Columbia, S. C., and Beatrice Bar- rett of Minneapolis; Jean Bauer of East Providence, R. I, and Charlotte Glutting of West Orange, N.

GRID WRITERS ELECT Costello Is Chosen Prexy—Dobson Lauds Terp Linemen.

JOHN'S BELIEVES Return of Three Regulars Gives Annapolis Team Confidence for Game Saturday. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star ANNAPOL!S. Md, October 6.— Buoyed by the probable return of three regulars who have been confined to the sidelines for 10 days, Coach Dutch Lentz today felt St. John's has an even chance for victory in its game with American University at Washington Saturday. Johnny Lambros, crack passer; Stew | Archie, guard, and Bernie Weisheit, end, none of whom saw service against Randolph-Macon last week for more than a few minutes, again are avail- able for heavy duty, but Frank Town- send and George Kopf, tackles, def- initely are out of the game. Lentz has installed Sprigg Sands and George Stallings in the tackle berths, but faces an acute situation, since he now has no reserves for these spots. SOFT-BALL BERTHS OPEN. Two more franchises are available for soft ball teams wishing to com- pete in the Community Center Soft Ball League.

Ala., October 6. * Y —Gret Whiddon, 16 and slen- der, sat near his water bucket and dreamed of glory when Newville High's foot ball team met Coffee County of Enterprise, Ala. Gret weighs only 120, but he had been working out with the team and the coach had allowed him to wear a uniform while he served as water boy. Newville was backed up to its goal line when young Whiddon was sent in. He lined up as a defensive half- back, intercepted a pass exactly on the goal line on the first play and ran the 100 yards for a touch- down. Unfortunately, young Whiddon's mates couldn't hold that margin and lost, 13 to 7. But Newville is looking for a new water boy. EAGLE BEATS BIRD AND DETTWEILER Washington Maid Loses to California Champ, but Thrills Gallery. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, ‘Tenn., October 6.— Helen Dettweiler of Wash- ington, champion of Mary- land and the District of Co- [ lumbia, won't forget for some time that a birdie wasn't good enough to keep her in the running in the women’s national championship. But the attractive blond didn't bow out of the play before giving a large gallery the greatest thrills of the tournament. She lost on the nine- teenth hole to long-hitting Clara Cal- lender, the California State champion. Miss Dettweiler and Miss Callender were two comparatively unknown en- trants, but before the day had ended they had the gallery flocking after them. Miss Callender jumped into the lead with a birdie 4 on the first hole and made it 2 up on the second when Helen's approach was short. The Washington girl fired a birdie on the third and had a par 3 on the fourth to square the match. Both had birdies on the fifth and they halved the sixth. Both Equal Par. ISS DETTWEILER got her third birdie on the par 3 seventh, but lost the one-hole advantage on the next hole and went to the turn all even, both players having shot par 39 for the nine. The lead changed four times on the back nine and they came to the eighteenth all even. It was there Miss Dettweiler lost her chance. She was trapped on her approach, but recovered to within 2 feet of the pin, while Miss Callender was taking three strokes to reach the green. Then Miss Dettweiler's short putt lipped the cup. Both had long drives on the nine- teenth and beautiful approach shots. Miss Dettweiler missed a 12-foot putt for an eagle, but had a birdie. Then Miss Callender dropped a 4-foot putt for an eagle 3 to win the match. 545 354—39 445 545 554 345 455 545 454 554 445 646 Par_out— Miss Callender Miss Dettweiler Par_in— Miss Callender Miss Dettweiler _. 345—41—4 WILL SHOW G.

OMEN'S golf championships were under way today at five local clubs, while on the public links the first round in the city championship for the feminine golfers was scheduled— all provided the weather man fur- nishes weather in which golf can be played. Twice postponed because of bad weather, the medal round in the Washington Golf and Country Club women'’s title affair was to be run off today. If a further postponement is necessary it may be postponed indefi- nitely. But the {eminine golfers at four other clubs and on the public links donned raincoats and rubbers and went through three qualification rounds in as many tournaments and through the first-match round in an- other. Mrs. L. G. Pray, medalist in the Manor title tourney, with a card of 86, clashed in the first round today with Mrs. D. R. Hutchinson. Marion Brown, defending champion, who also is playing in the Indian Spring Club title event, scored 94. Mrs. Dale Breaks 80. At Kenwood Mrs. J. C. Dale broke | 80 for the first time in her golf career, with a card of 89, to win the medal, and met Mrs. Roy C. Miller in the { opening round. \ | Mrs, Charlotte S. Stern won the | medal in the Army Navy Club cham- | pionship with a card of 89 and met Mrs. Margaret Russell in the opening | round. Only one flight qualified in | this tourney. Mrs. J. O. Rhyne, the medalist, whitewashed Mrs. George Bell by 10 and 8 in the opening round of the Congressional tourney and met Mrs. Myron Davy in the second round to- day. Other second-round pairings were: Mrs. C. A. Stewart vs. Mrs. Roland MacKenzie, Mrs. J. F. Dowdall vs. Mrs, C. 8. Teal, Mrs. R. L. Rose vs. Mrs. J. J. McCarthy. At Con- gressional the tourney for the Robert P. Smith Trophy, presented by the president, of the club, has been post- poned from October 11 to October 18. Mrs. Florence J. Godfrey, medalist in the public links championship, with a card of 91, was a favorite today to win the tourney, even though Betty Garber, 1936 champion, finished only a stroke behind, with 92. Betty Keeler, former champion, was unable to play in the tourney at East Potomac Park. DRESSES UP GRID ACE. Regal to Give Sartorial Outfit as “Most Valuable” Prize. Something more practical than a medal or trophy will go to the National City League foot baller adjudged the most valuable to his team at the end of the season. Pat Regal, sponsor of the Regal Clothing 135-pound eleven, announced yesterday that the player earning that distinction will receive from him a set of new duds, everything from head to foot included. With the league season opening Oc- tober 10, Coach John Jankowski has issued a special challenge to the Fred- ericksburg Pros for a game any time. Biff Sticks to Army Tactics Fans Cease Squawks Over Secret Practice After Nebraska Whips Gophers. By the Assocleted Press. Foot ball at Nebraska still is the “old Army game” to Maj. Lawrence M. “Biff” Jones. He left the Army to be able to accept a five-year contract as head coach and athletic director here, but he hasn’t by any means for- gotten his tactics. The Biffer locks up the practice gates every day and stations a uni- formed guard to keep them shut, barring the general public and pos- sible “spies.” He fires pistols, blows horns and keeps every man hump- ing. ‘The pistols and horns are for the purpose of teaching every man (3 to keep on going until the play is ended. Nebraska lost a ball game once because the whole team stop- ped when an official tooted a horn. The other team kept on going and then declined the penalty. Howls of protest went up from some fans when Maj. Jones closed the practice gates—the fans only got two looks at the Cornhuskers be- fore the Minnesota game last Sat- urday. They wanted to see more. Jones, who used to coach at Army, Louisiana State and Oklahoma, didn’t relent & nickel’s worth. Now, of course, since his boys walloped Minnesota’s Gophers down into the class with the rest of the Nation's foot ball tesms by a 14-to-9 score, he even could exclude the players and the fans wouldn't care. 4 BOB WALTON, Center upon whom Maryland banks heavily in the clash with Western Maryland at College Park Saturday. Walton, a 164- pounder, who never indulged in scholastic foot ball, was a letter man last Fall and is the regular snapperback this season. He prepped at Tech High. G.W.,Rated 95,in Tie for 13th Position in National Grid List EORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY'S foot ball team finds itself in fast company in this week’s national ratings compiled by the Williamson Scientific System, being excelled only by a dozen about the country.

Loyal supporters, who follow the Catholic U. Cardinals to Philadelphia this week end when they stack up against La Salle, in all probability will witness a slightly more spectacular offense than the Brooklanders have displayed against their two previous grid victims. Coach Dutch Bergman has con- trived several new plays in gymnasium workouts this week and intends to cut loose against the Philadelphians. Not only will they include some tricky ground maneuvering, but several de- [ceptive pass plays. He also feels that the Card’s sketchy pass defense also has been bolstered.

FAIR STARS CROWD M.A. GOLF TUSSLE Helen Dettweiler Favorite in Women’s Final Major Tourney This Year. BY W. R. McCALLUM. IG GUNS of women's golf will boom next week for the last time this year in a major tournament over the lengthy course of Indian Spring Country Club, when a starting field, that may reach 100 feminine stars, will set forth in quest of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association championship, now held by Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow of Baltimore, Helen Dettweiler, Congressional girl, who holds the District and Maryland women’s championships, will be in- stalled as the favorite to win the title she never has captured and to com- plete a clean sweep of the women’s title tournaments in this territory, a little job that was achieved in 1935 by Mrs, Betty P. Meckley of Indian Spring. Betty Meckley One to Beat. MRS. MECKLEY, the same steady performer who has been an out- standing woman golfer in this sector for 10 years, will be the major stum- bling block in Miss Dettweiler’s path to & third major links title this year. Playing over her own course, which she has negotiated in 75 strokes, Mrs. Meckley will be the one to beat. From Virginia, making her fifth bid for the crown she never has won, will come petite Lily Harper, the slim Portsmouth miss who holds the Old Dominion title and has been queen of the Virginia golfers for three years. Miss Harper also has thrice been run- ner-up for the Middle Atlantic crown. Mrs. Morrow, four times champion, beat her for the title at the Elkridge Back in 1932, the championship was played at Indian Spring, with an entry list of 88 players. Mrs. Elsie Haynes won the title that year, beating Mrs. Morrow on the twenty-second hole. Entries will close Saturday at 2 p.m. at Indian Spring, and each entry should be accompanied by the fee of $3. The course of Indian Spring Club will be open for practice Saturday morning. The tourney will open Mon- day morning with an 18-hole qualify- ing round. Club Matches Sunday. IVE Washington clubs will swing into action in Maryland State Golf Association team matches next Sunday in quarter-final contests. Pairings, announced today by the association, find Beaver Dam traveling | to Baltimore to meet Hillendale, sur- prise conquerors of the champion Chevy Chase team last week. Two other matches find four local teams clashing. Congressional will entertain Indian Spring at Congres- sional, while Columbia will travel to Manor Country Club to meet Harry Pitt and his gang of tree-dodgers. ‘Washington is certain to have one team in the final round of the cham- plonship.

Several years ago Simon, by ingenious use of two sets of tees, made what amounts to an 18- hole course out of the 9-hole layout. But congestion on busy week ends forced the club to scan the possibili- ties of expansion. The land on which the new course will be built was leased by the Wood- mont Club from a syndicate of mem- Uras bers known as the Town and Country Golf Club, Inc. This syndicate also owns the Woodmont property. I!" THERE has been any doubt as to the top professional golfer around Washington since Wiffy Cox gave up educating young Brooklyn in how golf should be played, back in the Summer | ] of 1935, and transferred his immacu- late golf game to the Capital, that doubt exists no longer. Any guy who can play three rounds of the Indian Spring course in 213 strokes in lousy weather and then finish the last round, in a veritable cloudburst in 78 for a 72-hole total of 291 shots, just three above par, rates not only the top golfer of the bunker-bordered Capital but of a lot of nearby precincts as well. That's Jjust what Wilfred did to win his first District open championship yesterday. He wound up five shots in front of the 296 carved out by Leo Walper, the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. champ, and that is far from all. Leo had prac- tically finished his round when the rain, which had fallen desultorily all day, really began to bear down. Wiffy had barely started. The Cox man played 13 holes straight through one of the worst downpours you could im- agine, a rain so heavy that within a few minutes putting greens were con- verted into miniature lakes, and the boys were chipping instead of putting; playing out of lakes in the bunkers and lifting around casual water in fairway and rough. Although the conditions were about as bad as you could want. The only thing lacking was & 40-mile gale on top of the rain. LIAD!NG by nine shots at the 54th hole, with 213 against Walper's 223 Wifty got out in 36 over the last Hunt Club of Baltimore last October. | RESIDENT MORRIS SIMON and Golf Chairman Leopold Freudberg of the Woodmont Country Club today were looking over detailed plans near Bethesda, Md., with a view to starting construction work on the the present nine-hole course, generally conceded to be one of the best tests Members of the club voted overwhelmingly in SPORTS. Baugh Threatens Pro Pass Record SLINGIN' SBAMMY BAUGH practically is certain to set two new passing records of the Na- tional Foot Ball League before he completes his first season with the ‘Washington Redskins. Latest statistics show that in three games Baugh has completed 32 passes in 57 attempts for a total gain of 428 yards and an average of 56 per cent.

He nearly used them all up, too, so execrable were the conditions.

Next time the boys hold a little golf tourney they should grease the palm of the weather man. Maybe it would be worth a few bucks to get decent weather. ‘HE same bad weather almost drowned out the Columbia Coun- try Club championship qualifying round but they got through it with Harvey Johnson, the boy with the mighty feet, grabbing the medal with & good round of 75. Capt. F. L. Parks was second with 79, and Miller B. Stevinson defending champ, scored 80 to tie with Joseph B. Trew. Stevin- son met L. W. Lawfick in the first round today, while Johnson clashed with parks. OVE'R at the Washington Golf and Country Club the boys played through all the slop to get into the second round in the competition for the club title and the Horton and Birney cups. Ralph 8.

MIDDIES POLISH UP FOR VIRGINIA GAME Shutout Win Would Give Sailors Their Best Early-Season Record in Years. ANNAPOLXS, Md., October 6.—The Navy is directing its foot ball practice at the Virginia game Satur- day, with which the first phase of its foot ball season ends. In its opening games, against Wile liam and Mary and The Citadel, the Navy has scored 87 points and has not been scored against. If it holds Virginia scoreless, this season’s team will have done far better in its early games than any Navy team for years. Equal attention is being given by Head Coach Hardwick and his helpers to the attack and the defense. Coach Hardwick intends to start his regular backfield of Case, Ingram, Mec« Farland and Antrim against Virginia, but the second string, which did so well against Citadel, is likely to figure in at least half of the game.
