Touchdown Club
Honors Yost

To be a nationally famous col.
lege football coach one Of the
prerequisites is a good memory.
Last night in the Press Club,
Fielding H. Yost, former Uni
versity of Michigan grid mentor,
was the guest and main speaker
of the evening at the informal
dinner staged by the Touchdown
Club of Washington.
Starting with Johnny McGov-
ern, former All-America quarter
back, POSTMASTER of the affair
and retiring president of the club
Yost renewed stirring accounts
of the famous. game Of 1910 be-
tween Michigan and Minnesota,
which featured the playing Nc.
Govern. The Wolverines won the
game by the score of 60.
Yost amazed his audience, and
McGovern in particular by rat
Ting off the lineups of the two
teams that day. Then he turned
to Congressman Usher Burdick
Of North Dakota who also played
at Minnesota. Yost went back
to 1903 and the famous &c
deadlock between Michigan and
Minnesota when Burdick was the
star of the team. Once again
he reeled off the lineupS of the
two teams and gave the detailed
scoring plays of that memorial
tilt which featured the touch.

The Washington times., 1937-04-23

The teams will go into the game
on as near a $3.50 basis as it is
possible to figure. st. Johns
probably has a more experienced
team and in Smith and Hammann
has two as clever attack men as
are playing the game. Its de-
Tense probably also is better bal
anced than the Terps. However,
Ellinger, Lindsay, Nelson, Hewitt
and Watson probably give Mary
land a little more collective power
on attack than st. Johns can
master.
The game, in which Maryland
really begins the defense Of its
national title, is the only i'm
portant stick tilt in the section
tomorrow and should draw a big
crowd. Play starts at o'clock
and the admission charge will be
40 cents. d.

The list is small now where son
is carbon copy of his dad in a
particular branch of sport, but
just wait until another few years.
Recently the University of Mich
igan baseball team stopped off at
College Park for a game with
Maryland. In the lineup of the
invading Wolverine nine was
Roger Peckinpaugh, jr., an in
fielder, whose dad is remembered
well for his diamond exploits with
the Griffmen and the Yankees.
Peck. ST., was part Of the infield
combination that aided the Griffs
in a dash to the flag.
Buried in League
Up at Cornell, is George Sisler,
jr. You'll never forget his dad.
One of the greatest first basemen
the American loop ever had, who
was buried in the league dungeon
with the St. Louis Browns, but
whose power with the willow

average for two seasons and whose
.420 mark is the standing batting
mark sluggers of the junior loop
will shoot for.
Up at Yale, Eddie Collins, jr.,
son of the AS great keystone
sacker, is doing okay on the dia-
mond. Just the other day he
broke two intercollegiate records
playing his first game in the Ivy
League. He made four singles and
double out of five trips to the
pan and scored six runs. Young
Eddie is lefthander and they say
he is streak on the paths.
Other sons of former and cur
rent big league ball players include
Eddie johnson, star ShortStop of
the University of Maryland and
son of Washington's big Train"
the great Walter johnson; Jess
Tesreau, jr., son of the great Giant
hurler, who plays first base for
Dartmouth, and Bill Terry, jr.,
who is the son of the Giant man.

ager and an outfielder on the
freshman team at the University
of Virginia.
Then there is Ty Cobb, jr., son
of the Georgia Peach, who holds
more records than you can shake
stick at. The younger Cobb is
a graduate of Yale and is now
studying medicine at the Univer-
sity of Georgia and coaches the
tennis and swimming teams Of the
school on the side. Ty, Jr., failed
to do much as a ball player but
they say he is some shucks with
a swimming pool or a racket. just
a "chip" that flew in another di-
rection.
Has Smart Lead
Last but not least in the base
ball armament we have Earl, the
son of that grand old man, Connie
Mack, manager Of the Philadel-
phia Athletics. Earl has been as
ISOLATED with his dad ever since
he graduated from Duke Univer.
sity. While with the Blue Devils,
he was a crack pitcher and
also a basketball star of note.
Earl did not fit up quite to big
league standards but possessing a
smart head for baseball talent
and the game itself. works with
his dad as coach of the team
and scout.
In the world of football, per.
haps the greatest PATTERSON COM
bine is that of the Stages. Amos
Alonzo Stagg, hitting close to 80
and former Tycoon Of the Mid
way, the University o. Chicago,
is now active coach at Pacific
University. His son, Paul, after a
noteworthy career with Chicago
under the guidance of his dad
is now coach at Moravian College,
Pennsylvania.

I erp Stickmen
After ST. John S
SCaIps

Maryland's lacrosse team not
only needs a victory over st.
Johns in their important game at
College Park tomorrow to stay in
the running for the 1887 national
collegiate crown, but it also needs
a triumph to even the modern Sc
ries with the Annapolis aggrega-
ton.
The TerpS and Johnnies have
been meeting annually since 1928.
and the Annapolis stickmen have
won five of the nine games that
have gone on the books. They
did not meet from 1924 to 1927, in

Maryland had won all five con-
tests between the longtime rivals.

Girl Wrestler,
Dusek Win

They did a fair job Of packing
'em in last night at Turner's
Arena for the double barrel windup
featuring Joe Dusek against, Ed
Meske and Miss Clara Mortensen
against Rita Baker. The girliSh
mix was to settle the undisputed
CD women's lightweight cham
pionship of the world. Joe butted
himself to a win over MeSke and
Clara pinned the Baker gal. And
1000 looked on through the eye
singing cigar smoke throughout
the evening.
AS usual, Referee Benny Bort
nick, of the Watermelon Bortnicks,
took one of the best beatings in
both bouts during the winter sea-
son. Bortnick lost his shirt not
once, but twice. You see, he had
two shirts, and after Clara dragged
off the first one, the combined
duo of Meske and Dusek accounted
for the second.
william Joe Dusek of the Four
Flying Duseks came from under to
pin the heroic Meske in easy
fashion. Meske, who first learned
the gentler arts of humping as a
gridSter at the University of Mime
sofa, was having all the best of it
much to the crowds delight when
Dusek pulled his famous "Jumpin'
Eel" manuever in a nick of time
and the exhausted Meske was
thrown for keeps.

AS for the lightweight champion

leased from Mrs. Koed by Carl G.
Paulsen who will take charge Monday
morning, July 10. Mr.. Paulsen is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Paul
sen of Luck, Wis, but needs little
introduction to the people of the

a half years. He was first employed
on the farm of N. B. Miller but dur
ing the past several months has been
on the staff of the Pine Coop Oil
station in the village. Before coming
to Askov Mr.. Paulsen received six
months experience in a filling sta
ton in Wisconsin, which should aid
in fitting him for his new RESPONSE
bilities here.
Mr.. Paulsen announces that he will
handle a full line of Standard Oil
products and he will be equipped to
do general service station work such
as repairing tires, greasing, chang
ing oil, etc. His announcement ad-

Former RutIedge Folks
Find Southland Is Hot

MIR. and Mrs Kenneth Ellison, for
mer residents of the Rutledge COM

Paducah, KY, that the weather is
hot all of the time like it was during
the hottest of Minnesota's weather
last summer. Mrs. Ellison states that
the farmers are harvesting wheat and
other grain and that the strawberry,
blackberry and mulberry season is
over.
The apple and peach orchards are
beautiful and the grass is so green
that it appears blue, which goes well
with Kentucky being called the blue
grass state. The Ellsons are living
20 blocks from the river and dur
ing the flood the water was five and
one-half feet deep at their home
There is considerable building activ-
ity there but there are likewise plenty
of men looking for work.
