CHANGING at the soggy field
Patsy Donovan and Buck Grier,
managers of the Mohawks and
the Celtics respectively, before
game time, agreed to play an ex-
hibition game. Nobody was
aware of the agreement, not
even the capable president of the
league, Speaker" Mackey. This
executive made a splendid speech
in the office after the game and
overruled the managers agreement
and declared the game league
contest.
The football game itself was
hard fought. "Plunger" Snitz
Snyder was the whole show for
the winners. His line-plungeS
aided the Hawks no little.
A 6O-Yard Drive
The touchdown was made on a
6O-yard march down the gridiron.
Snyder's pass to O'Brien which
was knocked down by Don Nc
Cam, was declared completed
by Referee Barbra, who ruled
Mccain had interferred.
This heave gained exactly 70
wards. Immediately after this,
Snyder broke through center for
a 1O-yard gain. With the aid OF
Snail Delabre, Snyder pushed the
oval up to the three-yard strip.
Here the Celtics. held for two
downs, hut on the third down.

CUP
GRID GAME
ATTRACTIVE

The President Cup football
game will be played in Washing
ton for the eighth consecutive
time Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock in Griffith Stadium. This
contest between the cream OF the
service teams is the Oldest grid
rivalry existing here and annually
affords local grid fans with a
thrilling battle.
The contestants for the Chief
Executives trophy Saturday are
the Quantico Marines ana the
Coast Guard. For the past two
years these two teams have bat
lied it out for the trophy with sue
cess each time GROWING the ef'
forts of the LeatherneckS. Satur'
day, however, it may be . differ:
emit story, for the Coast Guard
boasts one Of the few unbeaten
and united elevenS in the country
On the other hand, the Ma
rines have gone through q longer
schedule than the Bears, having
won nine Of II games, whereas
the latter have played only eight
times. The American Legion
team of Philadelphia, with a
number Of professional and ex-
college stars, won over the Ma
rineS, IA to o, and DaviS-Elkins
marked up the other triumph
to 0.
Teams Are Good
Both teams count their seasors
successful or not upon the out
come of the cup game, so if the
Coast GuardSmen fail in their
objective Saturday, they VIII
hold their otherwise impressive
record as flat. The Marines feel
the same way about it. Thus,
both elevenS will be pointed to
shoot with everything they have
at their command to gain the
trophy.
The Marines have had unusual
success in past cup games, win
ming in every one which they com
peted but once. This was in 1928
when Navy scored over them, 10
to 0. Previous to that the Leather
necks had walloped the Army
three straight years, while in the
past two games they have trimmed
the Coast Guard. 10 to 0 and z
to 0.
Tickets for the game are now
on sale with general admission 81,
sideline and reserved seats $3.50,
and box seats 90. They may be
obtained downtown at SpaldingS
or the Sport Mart. They also are
ON sale at the ball park, at Guam
tico and at Major D. L. Brewster
office in the Navy Department.

Shows Class
That had not been the first
time Ollie had shown the boys
the stuff he was made OF. In
January, 1929. he finished fifth,
a few pins out of the money, in
the Campbell Sweepstakes, and
he had rolled into sixth place in
the first Evening Star tourna-
ment.
However, his performance at
Richmond was the most outstand-
ing up to that time. In 1880 ne
hoisted himself into a permanent
niche among the bambinoS BY
holding a 119 average in the Rec
reation League and a 118 in the
National Capital.
Rivals Nose Him Out
But it was during the 1930-31
season that he really came into
his own. Four times he smashed
his way into a commanding posi-
ton, only to see rivals shoot Pine
nomenal scores to nose him out.
He begun his climb by a whiri-
wind finish in the Campbell
Sweepstakes which netted MN
third money. He ended third In
the Potomac Sweepstakes, ana
finished fifth in the Eastern
Sweepstakes for the champion
ship of New England. ,

But Saturday night at the
Columbia Pacini pulled the pro-
verbal stunt of killing two birds
with one stone. He gained his
long-sought goal. a major cham
pionship, and he got revenge on
the man who beat him, Ray
Barnes, and he did it all in a
sensational manner, counting a
strike on a tenth box spare to
win by four pins.

PREDICTED

Jimmy Londos, recognized in
most States as world heavyweight
wrestling champion, will have his
hands full with Matros Kirilenko,
formidable Russian, in their
match Thursday night at the
Washington Auditorium. This is
the belief of Promoter Joe Turner,
the man who arranged the match.
Says Turner:
'KirilenkO proved to me
when he easily threw Davis
court that he is . suitable Op-
pOnent for LOndOs. really
expect the Russian to make
Jimmy keep on his toes
throughout the match and
am sure local fans will be fur
niShed with many thrills"
The Russian must plan to off
set Londos' advantage in speed,
a vital factor in deciding wreSt-
ling matches of today. Kirilenko
is not as swift in the ring as
Londos but carries the more STAN
ina. Londos will probably wreStle
along the same style as his pre-
viouS matches here.
This means he will be on the
defense for the first part of the
match, hoping that Kirilenko viii
rush after him. However, the
Russian may battle LondoS at the
larter's OVID game, which will be
something for Londos to worry
over and not KiriIenko.
