WASHINGTON, 4 Foening Star ern SUNDAY MORNING EDITION D. C. RIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1937. Comics and Classified | ]) G. W., Georgetown, Marvland Provide Colorful Football Week End COLONIALS, TULSA OPEN BILL TONIGHT Hoyas Hosts to Manhattan, | Florida Is Terps’ Guest in Frays Tomorrow. ROBABLY the most tempting week-end of local collegiate football this season will be of- fered within the brief span of the next 24 hours, with George Wash- ington facing Tulsa tonight at Grif- fith Stadium in the first of three out- standing attractions. Following the fuss between the Co- lonials and Oilers, District fans will be able tomorrow afternoon to choose between the Georgetown-Manhattan meeting at Griffith Stadium and the homecoming clash of Maryland and Tlorida at College Park. Tonight’s game will get under way at 8:30 o'clock, while both of tomor- row's engagements will start at 2:30. Seeking to redeem itself following a rather unimpressive losing perform- ance against Alabama, George Wash- ington hardly has selected an easy route. The Golden Hurrican ranks on a par with the finest elevens in the Southwest and the Colonials again have been installed in the role of underdogs. White Heads Tulsa Attack. TUISAS famed spread plays this vear are engineered by Morris ‘White, a 160-pound, triple-threat ace, who thus far this season has averaged more than 40 yards on punts and gained an average of 5.6 yards from scrimmage. He is the key man in the Oilers’ varied repertoire, which has succumbed only to Texas Chris- tian in a 20-13 affair. The Golden Hurricane otherwise has registered a scoreless tie with Rice, defeated Oklahoma, 19-7; swamped Oklahoma A. & M., 27-0, and buried Central State Teachers. Its victory over Oklahoma particularly was im- pressive, since Oklahoma recorded a scoreless tie with Nebraska after the Cornhuskers had whipped Minnesota. Coach Jim Pixlee has altered his backfield with a view toward increased power, inserting Bob Nowasky and Jay Turner in regular backfield berths. Nowasky will replace Bruce Mahan at halfback, shifting to the tailback post on offense, while Turner has ousted Lew Carroll at fullback. Frank Merka and Vic Sampson are expected to complete the Colonial backfield. Toil on Same Field. hdARYLAND and Florida were to tune up on the same field at Col- lege Park this afternoon, The 'Gators, who arrived around noon, were to practice at 3 o'clock, and the Terps were to do their chores an hour and a half later. Florida brought 29 players to the game, just exactly as many as the | Terps now have on their squad, and will have a big edge in man power and reserves. Play tomorrow will start at 2:30, but the early arrivals will be entertained by a drill of the Pershing Rifles, Mary- land’s crack military unit, and the ‘Terp 64-piece band. These activities will start at 2:10. An All-Day Program. THERE will be something doing all day at College Park, it being homecoming and also the silver anni- versary of the return of President H. C. Byrd to his alma mater. He'll be honored by the “M" Club, the letter men’s organization. All the fraternity houses are deco- rated, and there will be a competitive —(Sec GW.-TULSA, Fage D7) G.

It even is hinted that Sarron’s demand or a 515 000 guarantee was met because fight people are cer-< tain it will be the last big purse the Syrian will get. Exactly how Mr. Sarron will be knocked from under his claim to the crown, except by honest and forthright efforts by Armstrong, are not divulged. Offhand, we would say it is all very silly for several reasons. To begin with, even Armstrong’s more ardent supporters confess that Homicide Henry has trouble making 126 pounds and that he cannot hope to continue doing s0. As a matter of fact, Arm- strong has been fighting consistently at | 130 and above for the last year, and if | he took a long drink of water he| would be a legitimate lightweight.

The answer necessarily must be that only a bunch of stumble-bums are left to contest Armstrong’s throne. In the process of winning title claims both Sarron and Armstrong hurdled pretty much the same opposi- tion. Sarron has been fighting now for 15 or 16 years, man and boy, and has fought well over 200 fights. His percentage for winning is commend- ably consistent. Jockey Gilbert, Fellow Syrian, Backs Petey Sarron Bets $1,000 on Godfather of His Son—Teny Galento a Glutton Before Kayoing Ettore. By EDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, Oct. 20.—John~ ny Gilbert, the jockey, has bet $1,000 on Petey Sarron against Henry Armstrong tonight at odds of 5 to 2. .. Not only are both Syrians, but Sarron is the godfather of Johnny’s boy « « « Sailing yesterday for three weeks in England and Europe, Ed- die Brannick, secretary of the Giants, was asked if he intended visiting Italy ... “Naw,” retorted Mr. Brannick, emphatically if un- grammatically, “I've seen enough of them Di Maggios already” ‘You said it, Butéh. Usually reliable sources swear that the night before he kayoed Al Ettore in Philly Tony Galento made away with 24 hot dogs, six shots of booze and topped it all off with a dozen beers . .. And yet some people wonder why they call him “wotta man!” Danny London, Brooklyn feather- ¢ weight, who fights Leo Rodak in Chicago November 8, was born deaf and dumb . . . In a fight one night, some guy hit Danny a terrific smack behind the ear ... Now he can hear and is learning to talk .« . It's the truth . .. (Danny is the only fighter to knock out Harry Jeffra, the bantamweight champ). Last Saturday was the 23d birt] day of “Bruiser” Kinard, Missis- sippi’s all-America tackle candi- date . . . So he celebrated by kick- ing off to Ouachita, following the boot down the field and over the goal line and falling on the free ball for a touchdown . . . Then he kicked the extra point . .. Old- timers say only one other guy ever did that. Oddly enough it was Homer Hazel, all-America back at Rutgers in 1923 and later coach at Mis- sissippi. Arturo Toscanini, famous con- ductor, is broadcasting a program of Brahms compositions from Lon- don tomorrow . . . and for the first A time in years one of the big New York stations (which will pick up the broadcast) will have no football games on the air. . . . Brahms must have had plenty on the ball. Talk about versatile fellows, how about Bronko Nagurski? ... Sun- day afternoon Bronko will play with the Chicago Bears against the New York Giants in what virtually amounts to a world series fotball game. . . . Then he'll get outside a few steaks and next Wednesday night will defend his “world heavy- weight wrestling title” against Chief Little Wolf at the Hij €. ¢ v The following Sunday he’ll be hit~ ting the line again. Joe Cashman, baseball writer on the Boston Evening American, showed the handicappers at Rock- ingham a thing or two the other day. . . . Joe bought a win ticket on Bonnie Buzz, a place ticket on De- serter and a show ticket on Sir Rose, all in the same race. . . . Yep, they galloped home one, two, three. « . . Nice going, Joseph. Here's one place where wrestling is serious business: Down at Dur- ban, South Africa, two birds named Ben Sherman and Herb Parks manhandled each other so enthusi- astically that three women and two men fainted. . . . The docs worked on the pair for two and a half hours . . . P. S.: Sherman won, eight stitches to six. Here are tomorrow’s guaranteed (not) football winners: Yale over Dartmouth . . . North Carolina over « . .. Holy Cross over California over U. C. . .. Navy over Penn , . . Georgia Tech over Vanderbilt . . . Southern California over Washing- ton State ...

Southern Methodist over Texas, Armstrong’s career has been briefer but more spectacalar. Homicide Henry knocks them dead. But the fellows Armstrong has kayoed are only the same opponents Sarron has been outpointing for years. Mike Belloise . . . so-so. California Joe Rivers flattened him. Rivers .. . lots of fellows whipped him. Orville Drouillard . . . he won't do. Baby Arizmendi . . . ditto. Freddie Miller . cute fighter, once, but he's washed p. And so on down the line. In the end Sarron and Armstrong stand out and it should be just a ques- tion of whether the puncher can catch up with the hop, skip and jump boxer. They've Always Been Square. ONE thing ought to be a cinch . .. that Sarron and Jimmy Erwin will play no part in extra-curricular tomfoolery. They batted around Washington for half a dozen years, the hairy little Syrian from Birming- ham and the tall man from Texas, and nobody yet has pointed the finger of suspicion at the pair. Petey may be getting to the end of his rope as a fighter but it isn't logical that he would bow out without his spurs on. Sarron and Erwin . . . starting from scratch in old Portner's Arena in Alexandria six years ago, after Petey virtually had retired . . . begging for a top spot and a chance to let results speak for themselves . . . outmaneu- vering fighters and managers and winning bout after bout . . . reaching a goal in the comeback trail one night by facing Benny Bass at Griffith Stadium. That night Sarron climbed all over Bass for a few rounds, muffling the power in Benny's right hand. Then . .. that right fist exploded to Petey’s midsec- tion. It was obviously a low blow but so quickly did it happen- that it could have been called anything. Sarron fell to the canvas, writhing in pain. Bass' corner claimed a knockout and pawed over Benny. And Erwin ., , . Didn't Give a Damn. E Texan jumped into the ring and scooped up Sarron like a football player grabs a loose ball. Somebody in Pete's corner suggested a claim of foul. Erwin turned on him and snarled: “I don’t give a damn whe they give the fight to. Petey’s hurt and that's all that matters.” With Sarron in his arms, Erwin stormed from the ring to the dressing room under the stands. He didn't wait for the bewildered officials to straighten out the mess. Not until a doctor had assured him that Sarron wasn’t hurt would Erwin listen to news of the decision. Sarron on a foul! The Bass contingent ranted and raved and yelled robbery. Erwin wanted to go into the other dressing room and clean it out. Later, in Bass’ home town of Philadelphia, Sarron faced Benny again. There was a stigmi to be erased and that night Petey erased it. He gave Mr, Bass one of the most thorough going-overs that gentleman ever received . . . right for right, left| for left, butt for butt. He knocked him down and when Benny got knocked him down again.
