E—-2 Experien Clubmen Use Tricks To Beat Speedier Tar Heels, 9-4 Williams Is Spearhead Of Hosts’ Attack; Remy Stars for Visitors By LEWIS F. ATCHISON. Delving into their bag of tricks to offset the handicap of rain, skiddy underfooting and North Carolina University’s superior speed, Wash- ington Athletic Association lacrosse- men chalked up their first victory of the campaign yesterday, winning by @& 9-4 margin at Central Stadium. The triumph gave Washington a 500 average in four games. Green as a blade of spring grass, but in excellent condition and as rough as sandpaper, the Carolinians made Washington work for the laurels, but in the end it was the local team’s vaster experience that turned the trick. The Tar Heels never seriously threatened after their hosts rolled up a 4-0 lead in the first period, but Coach Joe Deck- man had enough respect for its abil- ity to withhold Washington's re- serves until the last five minutes. “He preferred to play it safe against ‘Coach Al Cornsweet’s crew. Williams Star-of Game. Bob Williams, Deckman and Ed Fletcher presented Washington with its early lead, Willlams scoring at 2:53 of the first period and again less than a minute later. He launched second half scoring activi- ties with another brace of quick points to garner individual scoring honors for the afternoon. Williams was all over the field and displayed his best form of the season. Temple Jarrell sent another shot spinning into the net 15 seconds from the end of the half and Charley Clark broke the ice for North Carolina with a long, straight shot with only five seconds of the period remaining. Clark rifled another point past Joe Ferrarini near the end of the third quarter to spear the scoring lead for his mates. Both Ferrarini and Muncks, who shred goal-keep- ing duties, showed marked improve- ment, turning in several brilliant saves; although charged with two goals each. Carolina Gets Gift Goal. Carolina had a gift goal kicked into Washington’s net by a group of District players during a wild melee just outside the crease and it was credited to Coleman Finkel, Tar Heel captain. Tony Remy, & Cherokee ' Indian with plenty of hustle, Clark and June Gugert dis- tinguished themselves for the losing cause ‘with expert stick handling and bruising blocking. The entire team handled the ball well, but simply couldn’t fathom the screen plays Washington used on its scor- ing thrusts. Summary: Washington A. A, - Mi k. lark Broadfoot Harris 3 § ¢ § £ A A H.

G. Salsinger in the Detroit News. He answered: “Be- cause they have baseball brains.” Collins tried to explain: “Some players have more power than oth- ers, more weight, muscle and stam- ina. Others run faster or hit harder, but they wear out because they lack something. what it is and I would say it has its source in ability to concentrate, nat- urally and swiftly, as the baseball pattern changes.” Jones at Peak in 1930, Armour Declares Tommy Armour got to talking about Bobby Jones. “In 1926, the Yyear he played Hagen in that %2- hole match, he was the most per- fect thing ever set on a course,” said Armour. “I've never seen his equal on second shots. Remember, I said 1926. I don't think he was 80 per cent of the golfer, in 1830, when he made that grand slam, that he was four years previous. Not 80 per cent. I'm not telling tales out of school, either. He knows it.” Young Twelfth Redskin To Sign for Next Fall Bill Young, versatile 240-pound Hneman who has been with the Red- skins for three years, became the 12th veteran to sign his contract. for the 1940 season when he came to terms yesterday. Young, a University of Alabama product, now lives here with his wife and is engaged in selling advertising. Formerly a tackle, he played both guard and center last year and was one of the bulwarks of the Indian Hne; which established the best de- tensive record in the league. * Mdt Squad Champion . A. U.

Maryland Stickmen Beat Rutgers, buf - Trackmen Lose Score in Mud and Rain, 6-2, After 60-66 Loss By Cinderpathers By the Associated Press. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J, April 20.—University of Maryland teams broke even hers today in the rain, cold and wind, the Terp stickmen trimming Rutgers, 6 to 2, after the invading trackmen were beaten, 66 to 60. Flooded out of Neilson Field, where the lacrosse game was sched- uled, the stickmen met on nearby College Field. A steady drizzle per- sisted throughout the entire tilt as the players wallowed around in two or three inches of mud and water, Maryland stepped to a two-goal lead in the first period when Bill Bond slipped a pair of shots past the Rutgers goalie. After that the Old Liners never lost their advan- tage and a goal apiece by Al Ross and Burt Hasbrouck for Rutgers served only tc keep the Scarlet from being shut out. Xnable to Hold Feet. The game turned out to be & con- test to see which team could stay on its feet the better, as most of the long runs and passes were cut short when the players slipped to the ground. Bond and Al 8lesinger of Mary- land led the scoring for the day with two goals each. Jack Mueller and Oscar Navares tallied the other points for the Southerners.

Both teams were slowed up con- siderably by the cold and rain and times were slow. Rutgers made a clean sweep of both the discus throw and high Jump, while the Terrapins took all three places in the 440-yard run and had their men in a three-way tie for first in the 880-yard run. Maryland scored 38 points in the six running events to Rutgers 18, but trailed badly in one of the two hurdles and in all of the field events except the broad jump. Maryland Misses Murphy. The Terps greatly missed Joe Murphy, their ace sprinter and broad jumper, and doubtless would have won with his help. He has been ill and did not compete.

TH' PITCHERS ARE | pITCHERS WITH EVRY P AHEAD OF TH' ALL KNOW THAT { U5 KT < a1 i Showmanship as Boy in Sale Of Rabbit Marks Marshall ' Methods With Redskins By EDDY GILMORE, Associated Press Sports Writer. Now is as good a time as any to write about a man who rells pro-| fessional football to an apathetic city chiefly because he talks about | it all the time. “Baseball’s not the national pas- time,” sneered George Preston Mar- shall, president of the Washington Redskins, as he' raised “his voice against the annual ballyhoo *over the opening of the diamond season, “football’s the national pastime.” Somebodv once said of Marshall— “He's a.man of few words—a few thousand.” The description fits superbly. Marshall is crammed with opinions and ideas and hell voice them at the first sigiit of an uncovered ear. He talks fest, colorfully and with great conviction. Maybe that's why he alwaye has an audience. “Here it is the beginning of the baseball season,” he said, “and look at our books—$25,000 worth of tickets already sold for our football season.” Marshall’s football season doesn't start for six months and yet the citi- zens of Washington have sent in $25,000 for tickets to the games. The reason is George Preston Marshall. When he moved his Redskins to the Capital from Boston three sea- sons ago, the experts shook their heads. He'd lose his shirt. Flow of Gold Increases. He didn't los». He made money and he won the championship of the National Professional Football League, The following year he made more money, and last year he made even more. Marshall learned a secret of sales- manship when he was 9. He owned He advertised it for sale in his father’s little newspaper in Grafton, W. Va., but there were no buyers. His juvenile brain turned over the problem and hit upon an idea. He hadn’t made his rabbit seem allir- ing enough. He put in another advertisement. d “Fine Jacksonville hare for sale,” said his second attempt. He had three offers and sold the rabbit. Marshall believes ‘that every one in the United States is virtually interested in football. He had only one experience when this didn’t seem true—in Boston. Lowell Didn’t Know Harvard Coach. “We wanted to hire the great Eddie Casey for a coach,” Marshall relates, “and we finally got in to see the president of Harvard, where he was coaching the football team.” Marshall said that President Lowell listened patiently to his plea for the services of Casey and when he finished Lowell said: “Casey? Casey? Doesn't he have something to do with one of our minor sports?” E As far as Marshall’s Boston team was concerned thousands of other Bostonians took the same view of football that the president of Harvard did. So the team came to the Caplital. Marshall’s office is an odd one—in & way, it’s his own personal stage. It has a huge glass window which faces onto a busy sidewalk and through which pedestrians and mo- torists may see the Washington won- der at work. . Most persons would be self-con- sclous. Marshall loves it.

His love of the stage led him to hi wife, the former Corinne Grifith o the movies, who shares adoration of | the Washington Redskins. | She misses no home game and but | few on the road. .In connection with watching football games, however, it once looked as if Mrs. Marshall was going to break George's spirit. Corinne Takes George in Hand. * ‘When he first moved the team to the Capital he suffered visibly in the stands with every play on the field. He pounded s hat, tore at his hair, shouted at the officials and even ran out on the field. Mrs. Marshall stopped that. Now he suffers silently in the stands. His reward is—a kiss every time the team makes a touchdown and professional football is an open game with lots of scoring. The .former movie actress’ inter- est in the Redskins led her (or drove her) to write & theme song for the paid athletes and it's become so pop- ular thousands of Washingtonians know it. ’ To his great credit, Marshall—who gets his name into the Washington papers as much as any man in town, excepting President Rooseveli—never has soft-pedaled his laundry connec- tions in his climb up tie ladder of success. Speaking at a luncheon recently, he was saying that nothing will go over in the Capital if you don’t get |} the women into it. “Does that go for the laundry busi- ness, t00?” a heckler piped up. “Yes,” said George, “there’s a lot more money in ladies’ underw: " \S8PORTS, ce Tells as Washington Lacrossemen Top N.

Altogether 10 men—six Tigers and four Tars—were sent to the penalty box for roughing it up. Once, more than a dozen stickmen went sprawling when they at- tempted to retrieve the ball in midfield. The visitors, led by Larry Naylor and Junie Weisheit, completely dominated the play in the first three periods. Their defense, despite the slippery field, had little trouble in clear- ing the ball and the hard-riding attack functioned smoothly. Navy, which just couldn't click in the earlier periods, rallied in the final period for three goals. Naylor gave the visitors their first goal. He repeated a little later and Princeton went on to a 4-to-1 lead at intermission. Pos.
