Princeton will be meeting its third con-
secutive major opponent, Navy. Last
year the Sailors won from the Tigers
and they had a notion that they would
take the game again this season until
their own setback at the hands of Ohio
University and Princeton's tie with
Cornell Now the Navy is working with
might and main in anticipation of an
exceptionally strenuous afternoon.
Out on the West Coast one Of the
big games of the year is to take place
between Southern California and STAN
ford. The former does not seem to be
as good as last season, while the latter
apparently Is much stronger. Southern
California's close shave Saturday with
a minor opponent did not boost its
stock any. as far as its game with STAN
ford is concerned.

This pass, reminiscent of one

Since the Panthers' sensational VIC

The Rams, with two distinct teams of

Their easy victories over Baltimore and

will have to wait until Saturday for the
answer after v. P. I. and Kentucky
foot ball teams have squared of and
fought their battle of the undefeated
in Miles Stadium at Blacksburg.
If ever V. P. I. has wanted to win
foot ball game-and she has wanted
to win every one of 321 games played
since October 81. 1892-sae wants to
win from Kentucky this week. V: P. l.
has met Kentucky only twice in 40
years of foot ball. but no V. P. /. team
ever has faced any Of Techs traditional
rivals with greater desire for victory.
EOR the Gobblers are making the
L turn in the 1892 race this week
with their banner still high and as
yet floating among those Of the coun-
try's undefeated and united teams.
They have met Roanoke, Georgia,
Maryland, and William and Mary, and
all four have felt the Gcpalers' spurs.
Having gone places, too, in the South
ern Conference race, the Wildcats from
the Bluegrass have clawed v. M. L..
Sewanee, Georgia Tech, and Washing
ton and Lee in turn.
1t is in the realm of possibility for
either v. P. I. or Kentucky to win
Southern title this Fall, and victory
Saturday would be real boost to the
championship hopes OF the winner.
Thus, the stage is set FOR the making
of real foot ball history IN Miles Sta

he would turn the table on

"IN take him this time"
was GeOrgie'S terSe prediction.
The veteran Chicagoan is not
the only favorite who finds him
self in a tough spot in the
third round. With the exception
of Vines, who plays Gabriel La
vine, of Philadelphia, every one
of the favorites will have to
play heads-up tennis to come
through.
Henri Cochet, whose 8-6, 60
6-3 victory over Jake Hess was
an auspicious tournament debut
meets a tough 'un in Manuel
Alfonso, the Spanish Davis cup
veteran, who, ten years ago
split four sets with the French
ace, only to have an ankle in
jury deprive him Of the oppor
tunity of battling Cochet for the
decisive fifth chapter. Time has
laid its hand more heavily upon
Alfonso than upon Cochet, but
the expatriated Spaniard is still
a formidable opponent.
England'S two stars, Fred Perry
and Bunny Austin, are up against
difficult opposition, too. Perry
has to dispose of Dick Williams
the former champion whose bril-
liant volleying makes him an ever
dangerous foeman, and Austin
tackles Jack Tidball, the Holly
wood boy with the lightning

Tidball has had an in-and-out sea

would atone for some of his past
disappointments, and insure him

The Griffs are holding hopes
these days that they'll be able
to get this laugh chuckle by the
time the 1882 season is a thing
of the past.
But before this laughing mat
ter gets any further, the Griffs
want all reasons explained,
cleared, or what have you.
Briefly, it's about the battle
they're now waging with the
Philadelphia AS for second place.
There are several reasons why
the gaining of this position would
be of great satisfaction to the
Griffs.
Most important is that more
money will come to them out of
the worlds series because of the
second-place teams share. Next,
Manager JohnSon's men always
have held the AS as their most
deSpised foe. This is brought out
by the glory that reigns after
every triumph is scored over the
mighty men of Mack.
Double Kick Ahead
Therefore, the Griffs will get
a double kick over beating the
AS for the much-coveted position,
particularly if they wrap up the
honors for themselves by the
"come-from-behind" method, which
case prevails and which will have
to be done If the breaks are
favorable.
Today, Manager Johnson's men
are only three games behind their
Quaker City rivals as a result Of
happenings over the holiday
weekend. Sunday, the AS held
a six-game margin. The GriffS
reduced this to five by whipping
Connie Mack'S men, 8 to 6. Yes
terday, "OuH Boys" Clipped two
more games off this lead by sock,
ing the Boston Red Sox twice,
to 2 and 8 to 3, while the AS
were being defeated twice by the
league leading New York
Yankees.
Such turn of affairs makes
that last laugh quite near for the
Griffs. To be sure they still face
the necessity of cutting down
this three-game lead the AS now
hold, but the Griffs believe that
they will accomplish this feat be.
cause they're in such high gear
at the current moment.
Trip West To Tell
A great deal of "our teams
chances, in fact, most of the pos
sibilities, lie in their showing on
the final Western trip of the
year. which begins with Thurs
days game with the st. Louis
Browns at st. Louis. If the
Griffs can only hold their own
against the Western clubs the
possibilities Of beating out the
AS are great. If not-well, the
answer can be told right now.
Although they've played only
400 ball out West in two previous
trips this season, the Griffs have
the idea that they can and will
turn in a little stronger brand
The Washington times., 1932-09-06

We wonder what the experts
who did all that praising will be
saying tonight, after young Par
ker has finished his fifth match
with Lott, this time in the third
round of the national champion
ship at Forest Hills.
Parker is ION the spot" today.
Those other victories over the
second ranking player of the
country were scored on clay:
moreover, they were in minor
tournaments.
Now it is the national cham
pionShip in which the bitter
rivals clash, and a Lott playing
at Forest Hills can be counted
on for vastly superior tennis to
Lott playing in the tri-state
or Canadian Journeys. Mercer
BeaSley's star pupil will have to
improve on his previous Showings
against the Chicagoan to chalk
up his fourth victory in their
1882 feud.
The consensus is that Parker
hasn't got it in him to take"
George with a championship
gallery looking on. The Davis Cup
veteran is the favorite; he showed
in conquering Humberto Costa in
straight sets yesterday that he
was back in the form which en-
abled him to go all the way to
the final round with Ellsworth
Vines last year. That kind of
tennis is a bit too good as yet
for the Milwaukee boy.

youthful link" CHANGING to

Excellent Show
Given by Griffs
Over Holiday
By GARRETT WATERS

The Griffs only play one more
game at home" before the season
is over, but after all is said and
done they really don't have to
play any more in view of the sat
isfaction given followers over the
holiday weekend which ended yes
terday.
Manager Johnson's men GER
tainly performed to perfection for
the mass Of baseball-minded fans
who wended their way out to
Griffith Stadium during the past
two days.
Sunday, as an excellent starting
example, the AS were decidedly
defeated, 8 to 6, even though it
took about three-and-one-half
hours. Yesterday the showing
was made complete by two grand
successes over the Boston Red
Sox, 6 to 2 and 8 to 3, while the
AS were being defeated twice by
the New York Yankees at New
York.
Battle, Maybe
The Griffs will be in foreign
lands from now until September
IS when they make their final
appearance of the season at Crit
fifth Stadium. At that time the
Philadelphia AS will be the op-
position and what opposition,
maybe. if that second place bat
tie is still a thing to be decided.
But getting back to the present,
or yesterdays games, the GriffS
won them because once again
they got good pitching from two
of their most improved hurlerS,
while back of this the hitting was
there in the pinches. "a. --...
In the first game Gen. Alvin
Crowder hooked up with Bull"
Durham in small pitching duel
that was close until the Griffs
sewed things up in the eighth by
scoring 2 runs. The Sox gave
plenty of battle in the early in
nings, particularly as they scored
runs at the outset to take an
early lead.
20 for CrOwder
But it was all over but the
shouting after Crowder settled
down and the Griffs began the
earnest business of getting next
to Durham for much-needed runs.
Larry Boerner hurled the eighth
for the Sox, and it was against
this pitchers shoots that the
game was actually put in the
bag" The triumph marked
Crowder's. twentieth of the season.
In the second game Big Fred
Marberry only had one bad
inning, the fourth, when the Sox
scored their only runs. But for
this frame the veteran hurler had
his opponents eating out Of his
hand, and, therefore, turned in
his, sixth triumph of the cam
paign.
The Griffs socked out 16 hits in
this second contest. They plaS-
tered three Sox hurlers, namely,
Weiland, Kline and Michaels.
The decision was put far beyond
reach Of the Sox when rallies in
the third, fourth and fifth netted
seven runS-enough to win the
average ball game.
