F FOOTBALLERS
VIE ON MAT

Former footballers will collide
in Auditorium wrestling competi-
ton tomorrow night when Sammy
Stein steps into 30-minute bat
tie with Mayes McLain, a new
conner here.
A pupil of Joe Mondt-Paul
Bowser extraction and hailed as
a great prospect, McLain will
bring 238 splendidly muscled
pounds and a great gridiron rep
utation into play.
Should Sammy decide to launch
his celebrated flying tackles he
will do well to bear in mind that
McLain contributed much of the
scoring punch boasted by Iowa
and Haskell elevens of several
years ago, his backfield work with
the Indians being of the highest
order.
Himself a pro footballer with
the New York Giants, Stein has
scored a majority of his victories
through the medium of tricks
learned on the gridiron.
Other than McLain and Stein
the Paul Boesch-Rudy Dusek
main event will be supported by
bouts matching Emil Dusek VS..
Little Beaver, Hans Steinke VS..
Buck Weaver and Orville Brown

Well, he's in camp again, but
what a different looking ball
player.
You'd hardly know him, really,
as the kid has taken pound upon
pound off of his huge frame
since the close of last season.
And, what's more, Eddie is up
to stay in the big league this
time, as he says he's going to
make an impression or know the
reason why.
The youngster made quite a
hit with President Clark Griffith
and Manager Joe Cronin during
the lengthy grind last spring.
He was brought to Washington
after the training season, but
shortly after was shifted to
Chattanooga, of the Southern
League.
Playing in that company, Eddie
pitched his head off in addition
to appearing in countless games
as a pinch hitter. He finished
the campaign in great style and
otherwise impressed enough to
warrant his second trial for a
Griff job this spring.
In Excellent Fettle
But what a different ball
player. Last year Linke reported
with an unbelievable poundage
besides his name. But this spring
he is here in excellent fettle right
off the bat because Of having
worked hard all winter to show
up without that extra weight
which handicapped him so ter
ribly in 1888.
Gymnasium classes and course
in the proper methods of eating
seems to have worked the young
ster into shape. At least he says
this has turned the trick and why
not believe him when they come
as serious as he?
Said Linke today:
"They worked the very old
devil out of me here last year,
and it convinced me that 1
should do something about it
before the start of another sea-
The Washington times., 1934-03-07

son. So attended a gym class
every day this winter in Chicago.
my home town, and took a spe-
cial course in the proper way to
eat-y'knOw how to eat as much
as you want, but still not 'Outa-
way the things that might make
one fat. My appearance today
tells the results of my efforts.
And am 1 happy? Wow"
A reminder of just what Linke
had to go through last year should
make interesting comment here.
Five Laps Around
The first thing Trainer Mike
Martin ordered was five laps
around the outfield before he
could even touch a ball. His next
chore was fielding bunts, his next
was pitching a few to one of the
catchers, a third "bit'' was to roll
on the ground and push the big
medicine ball to some teammate,
while the finishing touch was an
other trek around the outfield,
two laps if he had enough left to
make the grade.
Martin took about 20 pounds off
his protege by this program. But
it was not long after his ultimate
arrival in Chattanooga that he
took it all back again. But then
the bright idea that came to the
mind. And today the
new results.
Yes, Linke is in excellent shape
this year and ready at the outset
to win himself a big league job.
He will if his pitching powers
walk hand in hand with him a la
fate.

Despite all obstacles Central
High Schools unofficial lacrosse
team is determined to succeed.
Nothing but handicaps con-
front the aggregation. First Of
all the team is not given any
financial support by the school
or any other source. The players
are compelled to pay their own
expenses for what little para
phernalia they possess, and also
for transportation to and from
games.
They are not even permitted
to use the Central Stadium for
practice, although for the first
time, permission has been grant
ed by Doctor Harvey Smith,
principal of Central, to play two
home games this year. Heretofore
the team was not permitted to
play home games.
Few and Far
The candidates are few and
far between because the coveted
"C's" are not awarded for gain
ing a regular berth. However,
Coach Elmer "Reds" Woods,
former Navy ace lacrosse player,
has turned out formidable
team for the past three seasons
despite all setbacks. Woods is
not connected with Central's fac
ulty, but is an enthusiastic Ia
crosse advocate, and is giving
his valuable service gratis 50 that
lacrosse may some day blossom
into a major sport among the
high schools. At present Central
is the only school having a Ia
crosse team.
The CentraliteS have begun an
intensive practice on the Six
teenth Street Reservoir field.
Every clear day throughout the
season these huskies will drill
strenuously on their field.
