baseball, but Tuesdays incident
in Navin Field was the first one
that ever, to my limited knowl-
edge, saw a crowd which per-
sisted to the point where a
player was removed from the
game-even though the highest
authority in the game had to
do the thumbing.
owen Made Good
This guy Owen, whom I
picked early in the season to be
the Au-America, three-horned
goat of this series, lived up to
my expectations of him by play
ing not only the most mediocre
game of the series, but by stand
ing on third base with one
spiked foot raised and pointed
at Medwick as the latter Was
sliding into the bag-when there
wasn't a play within IS seconds
Of the bag, and when his team
mate, Rogell, was actually TAX
ing the throw. several feet
away.
When Medwick had negoti-
ated his station feet first, and
found a baseman not even TAX
ing a throw, standing there with
a threatening foot in the air
and projecting in his direction,
what was he supposed to do
jump up and kiss Owen, or
dance a May pole minuette
around him?
I don't know what those radio
fellers said about the incident,
or what my brothers in arms
wrote about this horrible dis
play of savagery on the part Of
Owen and his followers there in
the bleacherS-
But I do know that more peo-
pie in Washington with whom
I have spoken in the last "a
hours, are blaming Medwick,
than are blaming Owen.
That is just the opposite from
what it should be!

PULLS UPSET

The Southeast Boys Club pulled
one of the biggest surprises and
upsets of the young sandlot foot
ball season last night by blanking
the powerful ApacheS Prep eleven.
IA to 0, in a preliminary game to
the Cleveland Panther-Washing-
ton Federal football contest at
Griffith Stadium.
Donald Hunt, husky field gen.
eral, played a prominent part for
the Southeast Boys inasmuch as
he broke through tackle and gal
loped SIS yards for the Southeast
Clubs first touchdown. His kick
ing too was something to write
Aunt Lucy about.
The Southeast Club registered
its second marker, when Paul
Denet hurled a neat lateral to
Phil Cassidy who crossed the line
standing up.

wolves both line and backfield.
Dale Prather, heavyweight box
ing champion of the District, goes
to fullback for G. w. in the prin-
cipal change for the Colonials.
Prather is a big, powerful fellow,
with natural playing ability.
Big Dale replaces Bill Brewer
in the Colonial backfield. Brewer
has the bad habit of depending
upon secondary division while be-
ing fed the ball from center. This
popularity of Brewers causes him
to tumble.

replaces Lajousky, Babe Gearty re-
places his brother Tom at half,

I should like to correct two
impressions under which I find
Washingtonians laboring.
Two Misunderstanding
First, that the conduct of the
several thousand spectators who
revealed a total lack of draw
ing room manners. is not the
general conduct Of Detroit peo-
pie nor Detroit fans as a whole.
The display of poor sports
manship over the Medwick-
owen scene was that Of few
thousand $1.1O Hooligans, who,
knowing their cause was a lost
one, decided they would kick the
bucket over, so to speak, just for
good luck. no matter how much
it hurt their feet or reflected
on their primitive protoplasmic
instincts.

FENL0N, BAKER,
RYSCAvAGE
LEAD FEDS

Johnny Fenlon and Johnny
Baker, two former George Wash
ington University stars, and
Johnny Ryscavage, former Mt. st.
Mary's star, are now starring for
the Washington Federals, this
city's contribution to professional
football.
In last nights 27-to-0 Federal
victory over the Cleveland Pan
theirs, Fenlon, Baker and Ryscav-
age furnished the high lights.
Baker scored the first touch
down Of the game for the Feds.
He grabbed q lateral pass from
Fenlon and went over from the
Cleveland 5-yard line.
Second Tally
Fenlon registered the second
Federal touchdown, when he scam
pered 10 yards around his own left
end.
4 forward pass, Fenlon to
Ryscavage, accounted for the
third Federal touchdown. It was
a 25-yard toss.
The final Federal touchdown
came when Fenlon, at his own 20
yard line, faded back as if to pass,
only to run, instead. He zig.
Jagged his way 80 yards to the
touchdown.
Thus the three Johnnies did
their stuff, but only for the edifi-
cation of some TOO cash customers.
Perhaps last nights game will
cause more customers to attend
the next Federal game.

Boy, Killed on Grid,
To Be Buried Today

WAVERLY, Ala, Oct. 11.-Fu-
neral services for drow
Mooney, 18, who died of injuries
received in a football game, will
be held today.
MONEYS neck was broken when
he was tackled by three opponents
while making an end run In the
game between Waverly High
School and MilltoWn High.
The Washington times., 1934-10-11

from what we gather, on and off
the record, he has the tackle post
just about accounted for.
And then there's Maurice Pres.
ton, 100 pounds and an end. Just
a great big guy to follow in the
steps Of Pete Kopsack and Paul
Burlingame, who were very fair
ends last year. In fact, Burlin-
game was the best Army end in
the scuffle with Navy last fall,
and that's saying quite a lot.
Promising Guard
Conrad F. Necrason, of Coopers-
town, N. Y, is a guard who is
going places. He is able to pull
out of the line and haad inter.
ference, which under modern foot
ball is one Of the guards most
important assignments. Necrason
can do that, and weighing close
to 100 pounds, when he smacks a
secondary, said secondary stays
very much Smacked.
True-hiS given name is Clin-
ton, and he comes from New
Orleans-iS blocking back of the
real type. He is a mighty good
defensive man; one of the sort
who loves to tackle hard.
Passers and Punters
OF course, there are others at
west Point who will do a lot Of
football playing. There are 38
boys on the A squad, and some
of those listed on the scrub out
fit are about ready to move up.
The letter men, not necessarily
starting men Of the '33 team,
include Beall and Miller, tackles
Zone of these is losing his job
to ErickSen); Stillman at guard,
and Edwards at end. The backs
include Capt. Joe Stancook,
Johnny Buckler, an All-Eastern
player; Martz, SimonS and Naz-
zaro.
PasSers and PunterS
Buckler, Simons and Groh are
pasSers and punters. Naturally
they're running backs, thus carry
ing out the triple threat. Cap
tain Stancock Is a place kicker
of more than average ability.
Grove and MatZ are goal shoot
ers also. Underwood, who moved
up from the plebe squad last
year, is a likely looking back.
He weighs lit pounds and is
very fast.
Despite the fact that the start
ing line of the '33 West Point
team is lost by graduation, there
is really little cause for worry.
In fact, one old.time Army man
said this morning: '"The boys
are crying so hard I'm afraid
they may have something"
