SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1937. SPOKTS A—13 .Big Quota of Surprises Predicted on National Gridiron Stage Today DOZENTILTS LURE HALF MLLONFANS . ' Major Intersectional Games Held Likely to Provide a Number of Upsets. By the Associated Press EW YORK. October 9.—The boys who like to reach into the hat and pull out a surprise winner of a foot ball game « had their biggest chance of the season to turn the trick today. With big games holding the center of the spotlight from coast to coast and more than a half million cus- tomers expected to watch a dozen or more of the leading contests, it was hard to name even a few favorites which seemed certain to come through. On the list were such major inter- sectional contests as Southern Cali- fornia-Ohio ~ State, Rice-Louisiana State, New York University-North Carolina, Manhattan-Michigan State, Auburn-Villanova, Southern Meth- odist-Washington University (St. Louis), Carnegie Tech-Purdue, Missis- | 8ippi State-Texas A. and M., West Virginia-Washington and Lee and Mississippi-St. Louis. Some Slight Favorites, OST of these could be called toss- ups with Ohio, Louisiana, North Carolina, Michigan State and Purdue rated as slight favorites. Villanova, S. M. U, Texas A. and M., WeSt Vir- ginia and Mississippi were granted slightly wider margins. In the informal Eastern group, Cornell was generally expected to whip an untested Princeton team and Army to wear down Columbia, but Yale was given only the thinnest edge over Pennsylvania. Also in the East were Pittsburgh’s clash with Duquesne, an- | other close one, Holy Cross-George- town, Harvard-Brown and Penn State- Bucknell, To the South, Duke and Tennessee, both about tops in their respective conferences, clashed at Durham be- fore an expected crowd of 35,000. Other major clashes included Ken- tucky-Georgia Tech, Georgia-Clem- ®on, Alabama-South Carolina and Navy-Virginia. The rest of the South- ern leaders had comporatively soft games in sight. Star Bills In Midwest. EADING events on the Midwestern front were Illinois’ attempt to up- &et Notre Dame before 50,000 fans, an effort which seemed not unlikely to succeed, and the start of Minnesota's comeback effort against Indiana with 45000 looking on. Northwestern- Michigan and Chicago-Wisconsin were the other Big Ten pairings while Ne- braska, conqueror of Minnesota, faced Iowa State. The Texas-Oklahoma and Rice- L. S. U. games were the big attrac- tions in the Southwest with crowds of 20,000 gnd 22,000 expected. Arkansas continued the defense of its conference title against Baylor. On the Pacific Coast, where 55,000 were due for the Ohio State-U. S. C. game, another 35,000 fans were ex- pected to see California continue its conference title pursuit against Wash- ington State, Washington, 1936 cham- pion, paired up with Oregon State and Stanford with U. C. L. A. LONG HITTERS VIE INWOMEN' G0LF Estelle Pagé, Patty Berg Seek National Laurels in Match Today. Fy the Assoclatad Press. EMPHIS, Tenn., October 9.— | The national women's golf championship lay today be- tween Patty Berg of Min- neapolis, a fairway veteran at 19, and Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page, Greens- boro, N. C., matron. This pair of long-knocking shot- makers aspire to the title relin- quished by England's Pam Barton. Mrs. Page, who has never before met Miss Berg in competitive golf, was | taught the fine points of the game by her father, Robert Lawson, one-time pitcher with the old Baltimore Orioles and now a physical education instruc- tor at the University of North Caro- lina. Kathryn Hemphill, attractive stylist of Columbia, S. C., was her semi-final victim yesterday, 1-up in 19 holes after Mrs. Page was trailing by two holes through the fifteenth hole. Miss Berg, an easy, 7-8 victor over Mrs. Gregg Lifur of Pacific Palisades, Calif., is playing in her third national. Bhe loet in the finals two years ago and last season was eliminated in the third round. FRANK “GREATEST BACK” Yale Ace Best He's Ever Seen, Says Crisler of Tigers. Fritz Crisler says the best back he ever saw in all his experience is Clint Frank of Yale, Red Grange, he says, was great only #% running the ball; Benny Friedman great only in his passing. Prank, says Fritz, can do everything better than any other player, both on offense and defense. Admitting he never punts, the Princeton coach is convinced he could excel in kicking, too, if it were neces- oary.

It mattered little that Yankee Ladbush's attempted place- ment failed, for Roosevelt com- pletely smothered the panicky aerials launched by Wilson in the final few moments of the game.

Those of you who have been on the water of your favorite bass stream or pond before daybreak need not be! told that inshore fishing right along the banks is best and almost always is sure to produce fish. Just as the first faint tinges of | dawn color the east you hear that plop and slurp that tells you that bass are on the move and feeding close in. On such occasions you use & surface plug, one which is a close imitation of a minnow or water bug. No time to try to bring the bass up | by creating a disturbance or attract- ing their attention by ploppers and spinners, they already are up and feeding on the surface. Leave the more novel meth- ods of raising them for warm Summer days when they lie deep and are full of food and correspondingly uninterested in your baits. These also are the times to use dry flies and floating bass bugs, al- though there will be the slight dis- advantage of having a lot of dead leaves cluttering up the scene and floating around just where you want | to place your cast. Nature balances | this, however, as the weeds which all | isummer long have been mflngi { close to shore have for the most part | | dled and gone down. It still will be | good ides tn spite of this to use a | | weedless hook or flies and bugs with | | the hook turned up. Misses with this | type of hook are not as frequent as | might be expected and they almost | are as certain as the conventional | hook. Bass catches on several Maryland | streams, the Monocacy, Patapsco and Gunpowder Rivers, are fair, the water is normal and clear and the outlook good. | Spriggs Taking Rock. ISTEN to Capt. L. M.

Recently with ' several members of the Maryland Sportsmen’s Luncheon Club, a Balti- more organization, they picked up a large string of trout off the mouth of St. Jerome's Creek plus a nice mess of rock. ‘ What made this trip such a good one, however, was that two channel bass were taken weighing 21 and 22!5 pounds.
