WENTZ STUDIES
CARDS MANY
i OBLIGATIONS
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEnL
Times Staff Writer

Louis Wentz, the Ponca City
oil baron, is still trying, they
say, to come to some sort of an
agreement with Sam Breadon
over the purchase of the st.
Louis Cardinals. Breadon is talk
ing telephone numbers, which is
the way of that canny North of
Ireland gentleman when he is
selling. When he's buying-Well,
then that's a different tale.
What probably is interesting
Louis Wentz, who knows that
money doesn't grow on trees
even if it does flow out of Okla
homa soil, is what goes with the
Cardinals. There are plenty Of
things he wants to know.
He is interested, for instance,
in knowing if he would acquire
stock in the Cardinal chain, for
without the present source of
supply, he might feel that the
figures generally reputed to have
been asked for the Cards are out
OF line.
He is interested, too, in whether
or not Branch Hickey would res
main as vice president of the
club. Hickey would be the active
head of the Cardinals in the
organization field. Hickey stands
supreme in team building. He
was largely responsible for the
Cards winning five National
League pennants in nine seasons.
Guest of Cards
Wentz was the guest of the
Cardinals at the world series.
He was a prominent figure in the
social gatherings in the press

Protect Mcdowell
South Dakota's two guards,
Meyhaus and Dyson, come back
to protect Mcdowell as the latter
throws. Everett, Tobin and
Schwartzkopf execute body checks
in the line.
Mcdowell, as he backs up, keeps
backing to his left hand, and,
SINCE he throws left-handed, this
gives him an advantage which
would not accrue to a player who
throws forward passes right
handed.
This play, in one game this
year, accounted for a touchdown.
The pass, Mcdowell to Buck, was

TOW GETS NOD
IN EVERETT
FIGHT
BY GINO SINH

The famous episode Of Don
Quixote battling the Windmill
was reenacted at the Washing
ton Auditorium last night with
variations.
It was the Windmill that did
the charging, instead Of the i'm
mortal Don.
Buck Everett, Gary, Ind, iron
puddler, was cast in the role of
the Windmill and Bob Tow,

more often than he landed as Tow
ducked under and rolled away
from many of his shots. AS he
came rushing in, Tow would drive
home a short, hard right to the
ribs or clip him on the chin with
a jolting left.
Occasionally the pride of Alex
andria would get off his pedestal
to carry the fight to his 12-pound
lighter and several inches shorter
opponent.

To this observer it seemed that

Jumping Northward a few hun

years since the Orange defeated a
Colgate team, and Vic Hanson,
present coach of Syracuse, played
on the winning outfit along with
Roy Simmons, Jimmy Foley, Jack

Syracuse has a. great line this

Carolina, sub, is just that het
up over the game, and the Vani-
ties, and it would take more of
. student Of human nature than
your sports observer, to say over
which attraction the old town
has gone most gOOfy.
The Old Town Pump
Leastwise I was speaking with
one of the oldest inhabitants out
on the sidewalk a whilst ago,
and between cutting figure eights
on his roller skates as some Of
the astOnished younger blades
looked on in utter amazement,
he gave me a bit of a lOw-dOWn
on the history of this impend-
ing Duke-C Carolina game at
Chapel Hill.
It started away long back
there in 1883 when he was a
young squirt just learning to
smoke cubebs out back of the
old barn his grandpap owned
over in Durham, when Durham
was just a wide place in the
road.
It seems the venerable old
gentleman finally lost the farm
by dint of eternally betting on
the Duke Blue Devils who
rarely ever won a game from
Nawth Carolina, sub, until Wal
lace Wade came along and
transplanted monkey glands in
the Devils and made them
power in the grid world.
Carolina Is Ahead
The game scores in this an
cient rivalry now stands II in
favor Of Nawth Carolina to S in
favor of Duke. with two score
less ties intermingled during
the seasons of 1880 and 1881.
So it is easy for even a stran.
ger in town, like your humble
scrivner, to see that the Blue
Devils from Duke and Durham
have quite a bit of lost ground
to make up, and the wagerin'
around here today is that
them thar Tar Heels is in fer
quite a white-washin' before to-
morrow evenin's sun sinks over
yon tobacco fields.
The fact that Wallace Wade
and his Blue Mephistopholes
have won the last two games of
the series is supposed to give
them a head start on tomorrow's
game through sheer momen-
tum of having been returned
the victor on such successive
occasions.
It seems that no games were
played between these teams
twixt the years of 1894 and
1922 and when a rank outsider
asks, the cause, why! people
don't seem to want to speak of
the matter. One can only con-
clude that some of the players
