Cards Will Toll
Before Nagurski

THE presence of Bronko Nagurski,
reigning wrestling champion
and former all-America foot ball
player at Minnesota, was expected
to spice today's workout of the
Catholic University grid squad at
Brookland.
Nagurski will be conducted to
Brookland by Coach Arthur j.
(Dutch) Bergman, who coached
Nagurski during the days he was
making college history, and calls
him one of the greatest natural
players he ever saw.
Inasmuch as the admiration is
mutual, Nagurski was going to see
the Cardinals, believing that any
team coached by Bergman is the
better for it. Most of the c. U.
squad is in good condition, par
ticularly Leo Katalinas, hard
working tackle, who has lost much
of his 245 pounds since reporting
10 days ago.

AIR ATTACK FRILLS
DESIGNED BY CARDS
Coach Bergman Hopes to Ease
Pressure on Limited Supply
of Backs at G.. u.

A TWO-FOLD purpose motivated
= Dutch Bergman as he began
work on passing offensive which is
expected to add frills to his Catholic
University eleven this Fall
Composed of forward, lateral and
shovel passes, the hurting attack is
not only calculated to please spec
tators, but also TO take some Of the
pressure off Bergman's somewhat
limited supply of backs.
Not since the days of Ray Foley and
Gene Murphy have prospects been
brighter for brilliant passing play by
c. U. team. Burke Vidnovic, clever
triple-threat halfback, looms as the
spearhead. with Joe Guyon, Frank
Krawczel and John Fiorellino ready to
give able assistance.
AS receivers Bergman is happy to
have ends like Victor Miller, Lou
Shine, Al Cababrese, John Kasunich
and Joe Bunsa.

Today's top match promised to be

Won Cramm is about at the top of his
game and if all goes according to
Hoyle, he and Bulge should give the
fans memorable match tomorrow

NAGURSK| BRINGS
NEW MAT COLOR
Latest Champ Who Takes
on Cox, Is Rated Best
Card Since LondoS.

IN RONKO NAGURSKI, Mime
X sofas erstwhile bone-crush-
] ing all-American fullback,
will be unveiled tonight at
Griffith Stadium, where he defends
his world wrestling championship
against Joe Cox of Kansas.
This will be Nagurski's third defense
Of his "title" since he unhorsed Dean
Detton, the Salt Lake City knight of
the mat, in an upset at Minneapolis
last June.
Nagurski will attempt to employ
against Cox the aggressive tactics that
during 1927, 1928 and 1929 made him
the most talked-of foot ball player in
the land.
Nagurskis only loss was suffered,
oddly enough, at the hands of the
man he meets tonight. That was last
year in Minneapolis, and Cox turned
back the former Gopher grid ace in
35 minutes.
One Fall to Finish.
TONIGHT'S bout, perhaps the most
outstanding Promoter Joe Turner
has staged recently, will be one fall
to finish A referee has been i'm
ported to handle the match.
Nagurski, according to those who
have seen him perform, has put some
thing new into the wrestling game,
and his color and showmanship are
expected to bring the sport back to
the financial heights it enjoyed when
Jim Londos was on the throne.
Today at 1915 at the Harrington
Hotel Nagurski was to be honored at
luncheon given by members of the
Touchdown Club and Minnesota State
Society and Minnesota Alumni As
sociation.
A special section has been reserved
for tonight at the ball park for
Minnesotans.
In a semi-windup bout Ray Steele,
the colorful Californian, meets Bill
Sledge, and in Commute preliminaries
AL Mercier of Canada debuts against
Rudy Dusek. Willie Davis faces Able
Coleman and Billy Hanson takes on
Eddie Cook.
The first bout starts at $40.

~ NE look at him and you'd

first to clinch starting assignment

tons professional foot ball team plays
its first National League game, oppos-
ing the New York Giants
Michaels is the only all-American
lineman on the Redskins pay roll
And he still is honored at Villanova
as the only all-America that school
ever produced
Michaels played with the Chicago
Bears last year, his first In pro ranks,
and was grabbed in a trade by Owner
George Marshall. This year, he rates
as one of the toughest little men in
the league, veritable Army tank on

at the earliest might be something
short of disastrous. Alabama's former
all-America halfback, who will be play
ing his first year of pro foot ball, still
is outfielding for Memphis in the
Southern Base Ball League, and at this
writing it appears Memphis might be-
come involved in the league play-off
series.
One more back was added to the
squad. yesterday when Max Krause,
obtained from the New York Giants in
trade for Nello Falaschi, reported.
Krause crashed into Tackle Jim Bar
ber so viciously that that worthy went
down and out for the day with a
sprained ankle.
Flaherty's and Washington's first
look at Sammy Baugh was nothing
short of all they might have expected.
The Singer was putting the ball right
In the hands of receivers wherever they
might be running, and his timing was
perfect The way the ends were snag-
ging the ball at their finger tips while
going at full speed looked as if Baugh
had been teaming with his new mates

LID POINT COMFORT, Va,
I September 10.-Coach Jack
\ Hagerty lost one of the likeli-
~ est prospects for his 1887
Georgetown foot ball team today when
he learned that Frank Meglen, Junior
and brother of a former Hoya star,
had decided not to return to school.
The loss of Meglen, who had been ex-
pected to follow in the footsteps of
his brother Joe, will be keenly felt.
Hagerty's woe was assuaged some
what, however, by the memory of the
work OF a sophomore in yesterdays
workout. 1t was Schmidt, who until
last year never had played a game of
foot ball in his life, who attracted the
coach's attention. Playing against the
varsity, Schmidt provided the feature

About even with Bill Johnston and

He has about every stroke a star tennis
player needs and also he is cool and

Outside of Bill Tilden at his best, I
wouldn't be sure any of the others
could beat him, including Cochet and
Lacoste at their tops.

HERES no mystery ABOUT 1t,
Parker's mentor declared. frankie
keeps himself in shape, he has as
good backhand as there is in the
game, not excepting Budge's, and he
outthinks the other kids. Know why
he looks so colorless out there?"
That, the Doc was told, was pre-
cisely the kernel Of his conversation.
TITS because he's concentrating
every second on his opponents weak
ness, even between games" said Beas-
ley. He knows the weakness of every
player In the game except Bulge, and
that guy amt got any that We can
discover.
Show you how sharp Frankies mind
works. Early in a match, when it
doesn't matter, he'll purposely miss a
certain shot a half-dozen times, and
shake his head sadly, like he can't
understand it. Later on when things
get tight his opponent starts feeding
that kind to frankie. Then frankie
knocks them down his throat, and by
the time the guy gets wise Frankie is
the winner, see?"
Beasley says Frankie's service is
lots meaner than it looks and he can
knock dust all over a dime with that
puny forehand of his, even if it is
sliced.

The Poles nearly always are de-

league managers have told me that
they rather would have Poles in their
lineup than members Of most other
nationalities. because they we're not
easily discouraged by adverse circum-
stances or bad breaks. They come from

can be taken, but there is no cherry

Line Mentor Koch.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

- AMP LET'S, Md, September

(Botchey) Koch, an all
~ America guard in his play
ing days at Baylor, looked over his
crop of guards today on the George
Washington squad and pronounced it
as fine a. group as he's ever seen on
a college squad.
I'VE might have had better indi-
vidual players than these at G. w.
in recent years" he asserted, "but as
a group I'll match Izzy Weinberg,
Guy Renzaglia, Tim Stapleton and
Ted Cottingham against any IN the
country"
Converted from a fullback last year,
Weinberg probably is the fastest man
on the squad, an invaluable asset on
pulling out of the line to lead plays.
He starts quickly and is a fine tackler.
Makes Honor Lists.
T Asst season he merited all-District
honors and made the alI-America
check list. He's starting his Junior
year.
Renzaglia also is Junior, known
to the squad as Spaghetti" Last
year he weighed less than 1870. But
he reported for practice this Fall
scaling nearly 1875. Guy started slow
ly last season and came along fast
near the end of the campaign. In
Spring practice he showed even
greater improvement.
Cottlngham is the only senior in
the bunch, and he's won letters the
last two years. He came East with
Bill Reinhart. backfield coach, from
Oregon. Ted plays with false teeth
in front Che lost the natural ones in
the Rice game last season..
Stapleton. lightest of the group,
scales less than 165, but the opposi-
ton finds him tough to get over.
He also pulls out nicely to lead in
reference.
