LAST NIGHTS RESULTS
The Washington times., 1934-12-05

Prof. David Mcintyre of the Farm
Credit Bureau, travelled down to
Messick, Va, at the mouth of the
Chesapeake and really hit them.
Fishing with Capt. Floyd Rollins
on the rock piles of which he alone
seems to know about, they caught
$50 tautogs or black fish for a
total of over 1900 pounds. The
largest weighed about eight pounds.
In over 80 years fishing this is
the largest catch of these fish that
have ever heard about. During
the day Howley broke fine He'd
don steel rod and Colonel Chant
land broke two. You can imagine
the sport these anglers were hav-
ing.
After docking the catch this trio
of royal sports dug down in their
jeans and put up eight bucks to
ship the fish to Washington just
so that Kirk Miller'S plan, for free
fish for the poor, wouldn't be for
gotten altogether, now that sum-
mes and fall fishing is over.

Former Captains
To Play For Mats

Washington's Nationals will not
be at a loss for capable leadership
when they oppose the formidable
Mohawk A. C. at Griffith Stadium
Sunday in a game involving the
Districts professional champion
ship.
No fewer than six players per-
forming with the Nationals have
captained the college teams they
represented in the past.
Johnny JankowSki. Catholic
University; Lee Carlin and "Zu.
zu" Stewart, George Washington
Eddie RyScavage. Mt. st. Mary's:
Jimmy Dunn, Western Maryland,
and Tommy Dixie, Texas Military
Institute. all were honored with
the captaincy of their respective
elevenS, more than making good
in these roles, and playing smash
ing football in the bargain.

SCORES
ALUMNI

DETROIT, Dec. 4.-The man
bit the dog here today, the worm
turned, and instead of the alumni
tearing into the football coach a
coach tore into his schools
alumni.
Gus Dorais, genial mentor of
Detroit University, roundly be-
rated the university's alumni for
failure to support the football
team. Some the things Coach
Darais said were:
"The game with Washington
State last Saturday was the last
straw. 1t was a disgraceful
showing. We brought one of
the leading coast teams here
and 1000 people turned out.
"The student body supports
the team but the alumni does
not. A high school game In
Hamtramck drew twice as
many spectators. The apa-
thetic attitude Of Detroit
alumni sounds the death knell
of footballs future here"

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Dec. s..
If winter comes baseball can't be
far behind, and the baseball
people, more alert than they were
once, have found that out. Off
cial baseball figures for 1884 show
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees led
the pack. This was no surprise.
The surprise will come when the
name of Yankees Iron Man
ceases to top the list.
Louis Gehrig has been the mum.
ber one man of professional base.
ball so long now that will not
even attempt to fix the date when
he superseded his hero, Babe
Ruth, as the most technically
valuable player of the game. The
word technically is used for want
of a better word at the moment,
meaning valuable from playing
standpoint only.
So long as he can muster the
energy and enthusiasm to appear
on the field in uniform, Ruth will
be, in my opinion, the diamonds
greatest magnet at the turnstileS.
Perhaps I eXaggerate his grip on
the imagination of fans. But what
has been taking place in Japan of
late would seem to argue other
wise. That would indicate that it
is impossible to overestimate
Ruth's drawing power. though OBJ
viously Japan is not West Forty
second Street, and never the
twain will meet in the lobby OF
the Astor.
The strangest thing about
Gehrig is that while he has been
the games brightest star for at
least five years, nobody pays
much attention to it, or him, ex.
cept at such times as these, when
the hard facts and cold figures ap-
pear. Lou is likely the most "un-
derwritten" man of all the IA
nous figures of sport. True, one
or two rather haphazard magazine
pieces have appeared about him.
But they did not light up their
subject, or give anybody a new
slant on his life.
Visits Old Field
Of late I have been working
over some material on Louis life
with Frnk Brodil who intends
to use is in a magazine piece.
Brodil went to school with Gehrig
at Columbia, played football with
him, and likely knows him as
we'll as anybody outside his i'm
mediate family. Among Brodil'S
notes I find the following:
It is customary for Lou to visit
Baker Field whenever his duties
with the Yankees permit, which
is not often. Football practice
is the magnet for frequent visits
and at the end of each season
he invariably makes call on
Lou Little. Harken to what
Brodil says:
"The Little house buried un-
der the east stand and almost
under the press box is the home
of one Mcnamara, superintend-
ent of Baker field, confidante
and protector of many genera
tionS of Columbia athletes.
''McNamara was there when
the manor was named Baker
Field and the Columbia team
had its first practice on the
ground it will one day make IA
nous as the home of some of the

mirers of Lou, particularly
Henry.
Not for a Million
"Before the 1892 Worlds Sc
ries with the Cubs, Lou and
Henry, who couldn't have been
more than five at the time, had
a long confidential chat. l do
not know what was said be-
tween them. But l do know that
when the series was over, Henry
received from Lou the bat
which had hit the last home
run against the Cubs.
81 also know that for a year
after that, Henry slept with the
bat. AS late as this past foot
ball season / asked Henry if he
would take $1OO in cash for the
bat and his answer was: No,
and not for a Million
Fourteen football seasons
have passed since Lou played
on that first team at Baker
Field, but so far as LOUIS out
ward appearance goes they
might have been IA days. His
kidding and his horse play with
nkee teammates is not
greatly different from his
clowning with his school mates
at the manor house.
"There is one of the largest
bedrooms, he lived with Wallie
Koppisch, Ben Roderick, Bill
Miller, Jack Billingsley and
Monster" Modarelli, and am
sure that Doc Barrett, the Co
lumbia trainer, will gladly teS-
tify that he has never since
known such trouble as that
gang gave him. In fact, 1
think Doc learned so much in
clashes with this group that all
the athletes since have been
no match for him.
"At 1890 when the lights
should have been out, Guhreg'S
gang would be in the midst of
some hellish game such as a
free-fOr all with books, electric
lights, beds, chairs, fire buckets,
and after all the ammunition
was expended, just an ordinary
fist fight.
Polite Request
"This would call for a visit
from Jimmy Judge, Docs man
Friday, who is now the trainer
of Andy COakley'S baseball
team. Jimmy would edge his
head inside the door very eau
tiousIy and politely ask for some
slight compliance with training
regulations.
"The answer would be a well
aimed chair, resulting in a
hasty retreat by James and a
report to Doc. Then as Bar
rett's famous puppies were
heard on the stairs, the lights
would suddenly go out, and
everybody would jump into
bed"

EAGLES To GET
GRID LETTERS

American University footballers
will be awarded letters tomorrow
night at the annual football din
ner at the school. The program
will begin at Gas.
The grid team experienced a
better than average campaign
during the season, winning three
games while losing four. Coach
Young has put it down as a sue
cess, considering the material
which was on hand.
The mentor plans starting
basketball in earnest within the
next week. In this connection
he'll be faced with almost as
tough task as was his fortune in
football.
Young believes a representative
basketball team will be developed,
however, and is pointing in this
direction. The team opens its
season December IA against
Hampden-Sidney.
Here's the entire schedule:
December a. Hampden Sidney (home) !;
19, Maryland State Normal (home).
January 8, Lynchburg (home); II.

MAINTAIN LEAD

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The
Rodak-Schaller team early today
maintained a slim one-lap lead
in a field of 13 remaining teams
as the international six-day bi'
cycle race around the wooden
saucer at Madison Square Garden
neared the halfway mark.
The Washington times., 1934-12-05

the best way to get their teams
into condition is the playing OF
many games.
Not so with Ray. He thinks a
team should not play so often,
And more important, he has it
mapped out to keep his Central
High Five under this control this
season.
Says Ray:
Basketball is a tough strain
on the player from the time
he begins practice until the
hour the season is ended. An
abundance of games, to my
way of thinking, will easily
wear team Out-make it go
stale. I've noticed it with our
five high school teams.
"This year, it is my plan to
have the Central five play in
only FL games during the sea-
son. In this way, the team will
not be played out by the time
the second half of the inter-
high series rolls around. Also
it will be set to make bid for
the championship, providing the
material on hand is Of that
sort of caliber."
Coach Ray has a mountainous
task before him to develop a real
basketball machine at Central.
Five of the best players in the
city are gone, leaving the mentor
with only green and untried
youngsters.
Team Wrecked
Those who graduated following
the 1933-34 campaign include Bits
Keyser, one of the best centers
ever at Central; Buddy Nau, rated
the greatest floor man in scholas-
tic ranks in years; Bill Bryant, tall
forward; Leonard DeLislo, guard,
and Mario Gregorio, high-scorlng
forward.
Among the candidates now
working Out with the team are
Will Thompson, 6-feet, 5-inch cen
ter, and Charlie Nau, brother OF
Buddy Nau. Others include Billy
Vermillion, former star guard at
the Washington Boys Club; John
Munhall, 6-feet, 3-inch forward,
who jumped center for Conzaga
last year; Bernie Marcellino, for
ward; Felix Silverstein, guard;
Bill Hegyster, forward, and Sam
Fox, brother of Phil Fox, OF Will
son Teacher College fame.
It is Coach Rays aim to put a
man-mountain basketball five on
the floor. He will get his wish II
the tall boys like Thompson, Nun
hall, and Fox develop. The latter
stands feet, 2 inches. Also it is
the mentors aim to show fast
collection of youngsters. Bernie
Marcellino will lead in this, as he
is one of the fastest players Coach
Ray has seen in a long while. He
was selected as the topnotch
player in a basketball tourney at
the school last year.
