LXNCOLN Nebr., Oct. 28.—Elmer Dohrmann, who will captain Nebraska's Cornhuskers in the football fray against Indiana here Saturday, is a man of letters, efght to be exact, with more on the way. The big end, 6 feet 5 inches tall, is one of the most lettered men in Nebraska athletic history. He was the only sophomore in the school's history to win four major “N" awards—in football, baseball, basket ball and track. He won the same awards again as a junior and if all goes well he'll have four more this year. WRIGLEY, LAZZER CONFER OVER J0B Mystery of How Ex-Yankee Fits Into Plans of Cub -Owner to Be Solved.

FARMVXLLE Va., Oct. 28.—Hamp- | den-Sydney’s 1938 football sched- | ule calls for three games with South- ern Conference teams, in addition to contests with Georgetown at Washing- ton, D.

RID fans are expected to turn out in goodly numbers Sun- day to see the champion Presidents of the Dixie League make their first local appear~ ance of the season, opposing the Nor- folk Clancys at Griffith Stadium at 38 o'clock. Expected to appear at full strength Sunday for the first time since their opening game, the Presidents figure to whip the Virginians. They were de- feated by Richmond, 14-7, whereas the Presidents last week nosed out Rich- mond, 3-0, by virtue of Willis Benner’s 25-yard fleld goal in the last quarter. ‘The Presidents’ starting line-up will be as follows: Hal McGann (C.

EW YORK, Oct. 28—It would not surprise me at all if & qualm, a twing, and & middling teaspoonful of uneasiness were beginning to take possession of the members of the firm of Jolson & Armstrong, Inc., Dixie lullabies a specialty. Jolson & Armstrong is a large and active firm, including as it does Mr. Al Jolson, Miss Ruby Keeler, Mr. Henry Armstrong, Mrs. Henry Armstrong, Mr. Eddie Meade, and the usual quota of stooges. Mr. Jolson, the senior partner, is a baritone who wants to go back, back, back to Alabam’, Georgia, Carolina, Louisiana and Mississip’ (vote for one only). Mr. Henry Armstrong, the junior partner, is a pale brown prize fighter who wants to be lightweight champion of the world. Mr. Jolson manages Mr. Arm- strong, with the practical assistance of Mr. Eddie Meade. Among the three of them, they believe that Mr. Armstrong is a mortal cinch to become lightweight champion sooner or later, probably sooner, Meanwhile, for sentimental reasons, tney would like to pick up the featherweight championship of the world, which is a sort of collector's item and would meke a nice cham- pion piece for the lightweight sitle when both of them are stuffed and mounted on Mr. Amrstrong's mantel, Mr. Armstrong already is the world's featherweight champion of California, Illinois and St. Louis. Being world's champion these days is like doing a jigsaw puzzle. Mr Jolson thought it wouid be fun if they could find all the other pieces, put them together and make Mr Armstrong world's featherweight champion of the whole world “How do we go about it?” asked Mr. Eddie Meade. “Well,” said Mr. Meade thought- fully, “there is.a fcllow wandering he around loose somewhere by the name of Petey Sarron, who seems to be the world’s champion of most of the rest of the world. All we have to do is lay our hands on this party, and, after our Hennery has thwacked him, we will be the feath- erweight champion of the entire shooting-match.” This sounded good to Mr. Jolson. One thing led to another, and Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Sarron were matched to fight. Mr. Sarron was very agreeable about the whole thing. “I have fought them all, all over,” he said. “and I have no objection to fizhting your candidate, if it will make him any happier. But I doubt very much if it will,” said Mr. Sarron in a sinister undertone. This is where the qualm comes in—the twinge, the uneasiness. With the battle scheduled for to- morrow night at Madison Square Garden, the firm of Jolson & Arm- strong is beginning to realize that Week’s Grid Victors Are Picked by Williamson System EPRESENTATIVE football games according to the current Williamson Scientific System.

I have detected no tremor or show of nerves in the Arm- strong camp, but I think the boys must understand by now that, in the person' of Mr. Sarron, they have bitten off & very tough plece of Syrian rawhide. This Petey, the Syrian, is widely traveled and profoundly experi- enced. He has been in Birming- ham, Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Texas and South America. He can build a fire with- out matches and construct a Malay death trap. He once was attacked by a herd of baboons, whom he hypnotized. Tight corners are Mr. Sarron’s dish. The last time I came upon him, he was down in Dallas, Tex., pre- paring to defend his title against a native son. The feeling toward prize fighters in Texas at that time was far from comradely, owing to & recent visit on the part of Max Baer, who had introduced the hot- foot and other symbols of a dying Eastern culture. The hotfoot did not make Maxie very popular down there, nor did his fighting, or what he laughingly called his fighting. That was terrible. But Mr. 8arron, who once held a tiger at bay with a spray gun in the suburbs of Rangoon, met the emergency calmly, and when he left Texas he left friends behind him. He is a nice little guy, with a world of resource and sagacity. Most important of all, he is a natural featherweight. This is the problem that has the firm of Jolson & Armstrong worried, whether the partners admit it or not. Arm- strong’s fighting weight in the last few months has been upward of 130 pounds. He's been taking on light- weights, and belting them over, He's a fine little fighter, no doubt about that. But the point is, can he shave his none too corpulent body down to 126 pounds and still slip the business to a Petey Sar- ron who will be strong and fresh and eager at that welght? On past performance, Hennery is the favorite. As the boys in Caulifiower Alley say, “You have to like Armstrong.” But they all ad- mit there is no harm in putting down a short-end bet on the crafty Mr. Sarron.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—A minimum speed requirement of 65 miles per hour will be placed on all entries in the Gold Cup Race, annual motor boat classic, this year. Meeting in advance of the American Power Boat Association, the Gold Cup Committee of the association voted for the minimum requirement last night. All boats entered in the classis must do 65 miles per hour or better over a measured mile prior to the event. Bill Horn, Detroit cup racer, made the initial proposal for the require- ment. He set the speed at 70 miles per hour, but the committee cut it to 65 and then passed the proposal. The committee also voted to con- tinue “indefinitely” the rule adopted for this year's race permitting one driver, instead of two, in Gold Cup boats, providing that such boats carry, in addition, 154 pounds of dead weight. A rule eliminating buikheads fore and aft of the engines on Gold Cup racers also was adopted. G. W. HIGH IN STATE TILT.

He lacks only a tomahawk. "THE hetty copper-colored Thunder= bird has registered four successive victories here, disposing of Leo Hyatt, Walter Podolak, Casey Berger and Jack Hader. Promoter Joe Turner feels the fellow deserves a feature match, particularly since Joe Cox is about to collapse from too much toil | in this sector.

JEW YORK, Oct. 28 —Scratch the average millionaire, they say, and always yearned to be a fireman and wear red sus- penders. Sammy Baugh of the Washington de<km< who turned his passing ability into big business, is no differ- ent. He always wanted to carry the ball, but they wouldn't let him until now. Sammy made the shy admission at | the coming-out party thrown for him here by Dan Topping, wealthy young president of the Brooklyn Football | Dodgers. “I like runnin’ with the ball better than passin’ it,” the former T. C. U. terror told them. “I guess it's be- cause you can see ’'em hittin' you. You don't get up wonderin' who it was knocked your head off that time.” “There wasn't much said about my runnin’ in college,” he said, “but I handled the ball a lot just the same, especially on spinners.” MIDDIES AND PENN VICTORY-STARVED Each Team Yet to Play Up to Its True Strength—Navy Stands Pat on Forwards. NNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 28.—Two powerful teams, which so far have not shown their true strength and both eager to win, clash when Navy visits Pennsylvania in Philadelphia Saturday. There will be no change in the Navy line as it has been made up since early in the season, but Coach Hank Hardwick stated that Art Franks and Emmett Wood, who had their try- out in the Notre Dame tilt, definitely have assumed places in the first-choice backfield. Bob Antrim, the blocking and de- fensive back, is the third man, but no choice has yet been made be- tween Bill Ingram, the backfield ace of last year, and Lem Cooke, who has been taking his place so effectively in recent games. Ingram now appears to be {n shaps and has been running and passing in his last year's form. KNIFE FOR DIETRICH.
