SCHOOL TEAMS 8
SEE ACTION

Playing host to the Emerson
institute eleven, the National
Training Schools gridmen today
open their 1893 football season.
Central High which opened
Tuesday with a 17-7 victory over
Alexandria High School meets the
Charlottesville Elves tonight under
the arc lights in a game which
should test the Blue and Whites
defense.
Dick Turner, former Tech player
and University of Virginia star,
who is directing athletics at
Dewitt Prep has transfers from
local scholastic elevens to add to
his squad. They are Hogan,
formerly of Gonzaga; Bombard,
of Tech: Aronoff and Mimi, East
ern stars who played at Wash
ington and Lee in 1882.
The Charlottesville Fives who
were to have played Emerson In
stitute october "a. will be played
November 8, instead Of the date
originally slated for Harrisburg
Academy.
A short schedule against strong
teams has been arranged for the
Dewitt team which opens play
against Fork Union Military Acad'
emy at home, October 7. Then
comes National Training School
Charlottesville School, Georgetown
Frosh, Randolph-Macon Academy

speed if the modified punt system
is to work at all well.
For the sake of the reader I
shall hereafter call this particu-
lar position the left halfback, a
term with which most football
fans are we'll acquainted. The
name "tail-back" signifies that
he is the offensive back further
most in rear of the line of scrim-
mage.
Never Before
Until this year George Wash
ington hasn't had a left halfback
who has been able consistently
to run at high speed throughout
a game. I might add, too, that
few teams using the modified
punt formation do have left half
backs who can perform their
duties without slowing up before
the end Of game.
But, fortunately, G. w. this year
is blessed with goodly number
of proficient left halfbacks who,
The Washington times., 1933-09-21

early, and this one is no ex-
ception.
The chief weakness Of the
afternoons workout was the
judgment Of the quarterbacks in
their selection of plays inside
the 15-yard line. Although sew
eral spinners and fake spinners
as well as other deceptive plays
made some nice gains, the ele-
ment of luck enters too much in
their execution, and therefore
should not be used so extensively
in such a spot.
Navy teams have long been
weak on this angle and even
though there is an improvement
over past years much still re-
mains to be done before these
formations register consistently
against major opposition.
Chung -HOOn Deceptive
Gordon Chung -Hoon is one of
the most deceptive ball handlers
on the squad, but his work can
easily be nullified unless the other
three backs work with him.
However, there were bright
spots, too. Red" Baumberger
showed improvement, the backs
ran hard at all times, there was
speed to the interference, and
Bolt Rankin did some flashy run
ming from left halfback.
The way which the boys
snapped into things makes me
believe that they remember the
power with which the West
Pointers plowed into them in the
game last year. and have come
to the conclusion that hard run
ming might get them somewhere
Harder to Stop
Whatever the reason, they GER
tainly are going to be a lot
harder to stop this year than
they have been for some time.
For the first time in severa
seasons, the ball carrier had a
difficult time keeping close
enough to his interference. 1r
the past he generally was climb
ing up the backs of his cleanup
men, but many times last week
he was from three to four yards
behind. OF course, the muddy
field may have had something to
do with that. but. nevertheless
we now find that the ball totel
may be able to move as fast as
he wishes without the probability
of his sprawling over his own
teammates.

SARRON VICTOR
OVER GENARO

Youth stood in Petey Sarron's
corner as the Birmingham battler
waged a winning fight against
the ageing Mickey Genaro in the
ten-round feature Of the Twin
City A. A. program at Laurel, Md.
Sarron weighed 1875 pounds while
Genaro was four pounds heavier
but the time of hand fell heavily
upon the Italian.
Despite the handicap OF years,
C. cnaro fought a slashing battle
and willingly mixed it with his
foreman, only to tire in the clos
ing rounds wherein Sarron got in
his most effective work. Sarron
also was much the better at long
range.
Tony Lopez kayoed Harry
Groves of Baltimore in the second
round of the secondary feature.
Roy Manley outpointed Hughey
Gray in Six-rounder; Joe Gauz-
l, of Florida, got the six-round
decision over Sammy Romano,
Walter Reed Hospital feather
weight, and Jack Quigley defeated
Sailor Leonard in the opening
bout of four rounds.

team?" While Dutch bergmaA
the Bears defeated the Notre
Dame All Stars, 40, this was not
at all indicative of the respective
strength between such teams. In
fact, the question probably will
never be settled 70 the satisfaction
of all concerned. It is practically
impossible to advance any COM
parative or relative values on this
subject because there is such a
great exhibition of difference.
Still another midsummer foot
ball game was played at Soldier
Field in Chicago between the East
and the West. This game settled
another much discussed question.
These two teams were recruited
from the various sections Of the
country. Howard Jones, Of South.
ern California, selected his squad
from a list of the best intercolle-
giate players of the West Coast.
Dick Hanley, of Northwestern,
recruited his list Of players from
tLe universities and colleges in
the Middle West and East. The
Eastern team won IA to z,

paid admissions and three weeks
later the all professional football
game. PLAYED at the same field in
Chicago and made up almost en-
tirely of All-American men, drew
less then 5000 paid admissions.
Considering the situation on a
1888 basis, football is going to re-
main a distinctly college game.
Most professional teams, we will
admit, are we'll drilled and play
an excellent brand of football.
The teams include many OF the
collegiate stars from all sections
of the country. But on the sur
face it seems that the day will
never come when college back
ground, time-honored traditions
and the spirit Of the game in the
true sense of the word will ever
Oe Supplanted by prO1eSSloIla1 az
mospheric conditions.
Along with professional football,
the general economic condition is
having its effect on the game. For
example, we hear of very few pes
simiStic bear stories emanating
from the university and college
coaches this fall.
Many schools are curtailing
their programs because of the de-
preston. Along with it they are
abolishing certain sentimental
opinions and customs regarding
schedules. They are reducing ad'
missions to the gate. They are
patching up old differences with
traditional rivals which, in most
cases, were caused by trivialities.
All in all, it seems this bit of
revolution in football is going to
bring a few of the tin gods back
to earth.
Present conditions bespeak we'll
for the game, and unquestion-
ably the 1888 football season will
be the beginning of new era Of
understanding and development.

QUARTERBACK
At EASTERN
By SID KATZNELL

Don't be surprised if you see
Filipino calling signals for East
ern High School in the interhigh
football series.
Although Charlie ("Big Chief'D
Guyon head coach of Eastern,
won't talk, we heard from an
authoritative source that he is
grooming Billy Cadell, a Filipino,
for the quarterback post.
Cadell attended Tech last year.
He went out for the eleven but
he didn't make much Of hit
with Elmer C'Hap') Hardell,
coach.
Very Fast and Alert
When your reporter asked the
learned "Chief" Guyon if he
thinks Cadell will grab the regu-
lar field general position, the
Indian retorted:
eff "Hap" couldn't use him,
how can I use him."
But as we mentioned, Guyon
believes the Filipino is a real
prospect.
Billy is alert, intelligent, fast
and fair ball carrier. He weighs
approximately 145 pounds and
stands about S feet 6 inches.
Another newcomer who should
aid Eastern materially is Big"
Johnny Mccarthy, former St.
Johns High School standout back.
Mac" is a great defensive player
and better than average punter.
Keegin at It Again
Joe Keegin, an au-high selection
last season, is up to his old tricks.
During practice sessions this lad
has been gaining acres OF ground
and tackling his mates SO vlgor-
ously that some of them had to
be removed from the drills.
Bean Soup" Campbell, the re-
vamped tackler, also has been dis
playing excellent form in the back
field. His defensive work stands
out above all.

expect to face on the opening
day.
There will be no mystery about
Cronin's pitching plans. He will
throw his cards right on the
table at the start, working nis

Crowder, in the opening game at
the Polo Grounds on Tuesday.
october 3, and Earl Whitehill in
the second game.
For the first battle at Washing
ton Crowder also will report for
duty. Unless Whitehill is unable
to stop the Giants in the second
game it is hardly likely that Lefty
Stewart will start in the series.
Monte Weaver will go to the
mound if the series is a long one,
but on the dope Cronin is said to
figure that Crowder will win three
games, reaching the heights great
pitchers of other years have as
cended.
May Meet Surprise
However, smart fans think that
the washington manager NAV
meet the surprise of his life when
his men face Hubbell, Schu-
macher and FitzsimmonS. That
group is the best combination that
has represented the National
League on the mound in many
years, and it will carry consider
able national money when the
Giants go against the Griffs.
Walter johnson was talking
about the world series the other
day, when he referred to Crowder
as one Of the best pitchers he
ever had seen, a willing, tireleSs
worker and pitcher with a rub
ber arm who can start and finish
his game and at the same time
conserve his strength for action
in two days.
"There is no pitcher in the
American League who can touch
CrOwder," johnson said in en-
phasizing his point. 81 have
in mind the great right-handers
and such smart and capable
sOuthpawS as Lefty Grove and
Lefty Gomez, but they are not
superior to the Washington
right-hander.
TOLD GRIFFITH
II told that to President Grit
fifth when he was handing me
my discharge papers. I told him
to be fair with CrOwder in the
matter of salary, for he was o
big asset in a pennant fight.
"Once in a lifetime come
pitchers like Crowder. never
saw a mound man with more
equipment. He has speed,
curves, control, and best of all,
a pitchers head. When / was
hard up for pitchers last season,
I would look around the bench
for some one to work, but be-
fore l had a chance to put in a
call CrOwder would step up and
say, Give me that BALI
81 would bank on CrOwder
facing any team in the country,
and that includes an all-star
team. In the world series he
will be at his best. If a pitcher
can win three games in short
series that pitcher is CrOwder,
who seems to thrive on hard
work. Recall last season, he
won fifteen games in a row for
u.s."
