FLESHMAN'S 400 SET ESTABLISHES SEASON RECORL

Over CeItiCs

Back in the running for the
championship by virtue Of their
well-deserved victory over Rich
mond last week, Alexandria's Gel
tics take on the Washington Pros
Sunday at Griffith Stadium in a
game that well may be the turn
ing point of the race for both
clubs. Alexandria, incidentally, Is
the first team to score a touch
down on the Arrows this season.
Portsmouth and Richmond are
tied for the league lead, with
Alexandria in third place, Balti-
more and Washington tied for
fourth and Norfolk last. But all
are so closely punched that it is
possible for any one of the six
contenders to take the flag.
Hopes to Repeat
Washington scored a TO vic
tory over the Celtics in their first
engagement last month and hopes
to repeat this week. But Alex
andria, showing steady improve
ment with each game, will enter
the fray an oddS-on favorite to
even matters. The Celtics have
been bolstered by the addition of
Joe Meglen, who was obtained
from Patterson, while the Pros
have added "Pepco" Barry, flashy
halfback, since their first meet
ing with the boys from over the
river.
Added Importance is attached
to the championship since the be-
ginning of negotiations between
Dixie League and American AS
sociation officials concerning
postseaSon game between the two
champions.
Committee To Meet
A committee comprised of Edwin
Simandel, Arthur Cohen, William
Coty and Joe Rosenterici, of the
American Association (not to be
confused with the merican
League) will meet with Charles
Hamilton, president, and Paul Nc
Whorter, secretary, of the Dixie
circuit this week to make definite
plans for such a game.

Buck O'Neiu Says:

Cont. from First Sports Page)
center. His play this year has
been sensational.
With Moulin at quarterback,
Georgetown is prepared to put the
heaviest possible pressure on the
known weakness Of Manhattan.
Manhattan's defensive formation,
although technically styled as a
6-2-2-1, against Kentucky de-
veloped into what was actually a
6-3-1-1. This, of course, is
very nifty against a team that is
sluggish physically and mentally.
It gives terrific resistance to a
running attack.
Passes Should Click
Quite obviously such a torma-
ton would render Manhattan
vulnerable against a forward pass
ing attack. In the game against
Detroit, Manhattan was weak in
defending against passes. Time
and again the Jasper backs per"
mitted potential receivers to get
between them and the goal line. II
you know football, you know that
this is a cardinal violation of de-
fense against aerial attack. To let
q receiver get between the defend
ing back and the goal lines is like
asking the enemy to accept six
points.
Hagerty is hoping that Manhat-
tan will fall in to its defensive for
nation as described above tomor-
row. He has revamped the Hoya
attack to cope with this defense.
Moulin has a stronger arm than
Tommy Keating and if there is
any of this 6-3-1 and l defense
by Manhattan, the air will be full
of passes that will search the deep
zones. When Keating is in the
game Georgetown's aerial attack
will be of shorter range and faster
in development. It will be just as
deadly if not deadlier than the
Moulin technique.
Hagerty realizes that his team
is at the crossroads of the season.
If it can win against Manhattan's
power 1t may hope to cope with
Maryland's deception and the
strong, fundamentally sound game
that a Dobson coached team al
ways plays.
