SHORTS Chats
With
Hal Eustace

The Brownsville Junior College
eleven turned out for the first time
Wednesday. They confined their
efforts to nothing more strenuous
than scribbling their lame ON the
well known dotted line" Eighteen
likely prospects greeted Coach CAL
win Surtees. OF course it's a little
early yet, but Cal gave the squad
the once-over and said They LOOK
good to me- The junior college
should have the best team in Its
history. With Morris Pipkin as the
steady performer around whom to
build the team and with q flock
OF Valley stars on hand, the 6corps
should make things interesting for
the opposition.
Whipping every muscle into play.
the high school Eagles looked their
best Wednesday as they ironed
their way up and down the field
Coach Fessenden gave them sew
eral plays and the boys took them
readily. The rough edges are be-
ginning To be knocked off and the
Eagles are beginning to look like
the team that Whitfield down De-
Paul 500 on Tucker field last year.
Harbert Davenport Is again at his
old post Of center. Robert OBryan
has been moved NJ to q guard
position. This one change seems
to have solved FesSenden's problem
Of where to get another guard. AT
the beginning OF the season Fes-
sender found he had lost two
guards and a halfback. Billy Sum
mers was moved into one of the
guard positions. Cabler and Sam
ano and Todd will take care Of the
vacated hackfield post. There then
remained one untitled guard posi-
ton. Davenport was slipped into
center and O'Bryan moved to
guard
The "A" and 'B" squads were
separated Wednesday with some p
huskies on the IA" group and
about 80 or 80 on the "B" aggre-
CATION. They practiced at the op-
posite ends OF the field. Coach
Soc" Plato continues enthusiastic
over his "B" squad. I've got some
scrappers here that ought To he
excellent material next year." he
said.
Another caddies' tournament Il
looking at the Country club. The
boys we're highly enthused over the
tournament held recently which
was won by Robert Champion.
Roberts play In the junior state
tournament also fired the boys
imaginations. Robert went to the
quarter-finals only to be eliminated
by Vernon Dixon OF Edinburg. Yer

event interesting. the former win

eliminated In the semi-finals. Mel

There were any number or de-

Capital Collegians Competing
In Pennsylvania Relay Games

Georgia Tech offered the more-ex-
perienced Maryland team little opposi-
ton in their lacrosse game yesterday.
The Old Liners started scoring early
end at the half were leading, to 0.
After the first Is minutes many reserves
saw duty for the Old Liners.
Heading Maryland's attack was Smi1k,
who scored three goals. Evans, Roberts
and Rooms each counted two.
Catholic University's scheduled base
ball game with University Of Delaware
yesterday at Newark was called of be-
cause of rain. 1t was the first contest
of three-game Northern jaunt.
Leo Sexton, Georgetown's versatile
athlete hasn't nearly reached the apex
of his prowess, ssy the physical experts.
He has grown a trifle too fast. A
marked increase in the big boys en-
durance is expected in another year.
At the age of 20 he weighs 220 pounds.
Little is expected of Clarion Gosh RS
a decathlon performer. He has speed
of hoof and lion heart. but the youth
could stand more beef. He may develop.
Catholic University's sport interest
has turned to track. The students have
given base ball the needle. They
turned out several hundred strong the
other day to see the Cardinals and
Maryland Tarrapins In competitive
training on the cinder path. It wasn't
regular meet, but the undergrads
whooped 1t up for old G. U. anyway.
Chick Meehan, who builds his foot
ball team around one or two outstand-
ing stars, is grooming Toilette to take
the place of Ken Strong, who was New
York Universitys big shot in the back
field last Fall with Toilette helping out
manfully in the interference.
Chick is barely 5I2 feet tall, but he
was almost a dominant figure at the
recent Varsity G dinner Of Georgetown.
A wining personality and gift for
spinning yarns made him so. Keen as
new razor blade" Is phrase that
might have been coined for Meehan.
Tad Jones, whose forbears were Welsh,
frankly envied Chick his Irish wit.
