CRUSHES COX
TO HOLD CLAIM
ON MAT CROWN

Bronko Nagurski today is on his
way to Chicago where he will join
the Chicago Bears, one Of the
Windy City's two entries in the
National Professional Football
League.
The Bronko carries with him,
as he did when he arrived in
Washington a few days ago, the
worlds heavyweight wrestling
championship.
Last night, in Griffith Stadium,
before 1000 cash Gust ON r S,
Bronko defended his rassling
laurels against the attacks Of Joe
Cox, the Kansas KraSher. The
former Minnesota grid great
pinned the challenger after a
series of flying tackles and air
plane spins had all but sent the
KraSher into dreamland. It took
the Bronko 40 minutes to pin Joe.
USES GRID TRICKS
In winning last nights match,
Nagurski used his football talents
to great advantage. His flying
tackles were vicious and quickly
wore down the usually robust Cox.
The body block, most difficult of
all football assignments, also aided
Bronko to victory, and it was after
three terrific body blocks had
softened up the KraSher that
Nagurski closed hostilities for the
night by pinning Joe'S shoulders.
RAY STEELE WINS
Ray Steele won over Bill Sledge
in the semifinal in 1872 minutes
with a series of body slams. The
crowd appeared to enjoy this
match more than the champion
ship battle.
Abe Coleman and Wee Willie
Davis went 80 minutes to a draw.
Al MERCER and Rudy DuSek also
rassled 30 minutes to a draw. Billy
Hansen tossed Eddie Cook in 1012
minutes with a body press.

REDSKINS DRILL
TO POLISH PLAYS

Washington Redskins, this city's
entry in the National Professional
Football League, today began a
final polishing up Of their attack
prior to Monday nights contest
against the Wilmington team, OF
wilmington, Del.
The Redskins, with their out
standing star, Cliff Battles, IN
Georgetown University Hospital,
suffering with a boil back Of his
knee, have found the going rather
tough these past few days, due
principally to the fact that each
newcomer to the squad Is battling
furiously to be retained in the big
league Of professional football.
The battle for berths will con-
tinue undated today, when the
Redskins have another workout at
Anacostia.
Monday nights game in VIII
mington looms as important-lm-
portant especially to the newcom'
ers who probably will stand or
fall by their performances in that
game. The Wilmington outfit is
known as one capable Of recognl-
ton in the big league Of football
and a close hard-fought game Is
in prospect.
Yesterdays practice session was
devoted mostly to bringing
"slingin' Sammy" Baugh up TO
date in the matter of Redskins
signals and plays.

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-THE Pa

Freddie Steele's title clash here

STEP Up DRILLS
BY FRANK BUCK O'NEILL

Full speed ahead on all fronts
is the order Of the day for all Of
Washington's football elevens.
Down at Old Point Comfort Jack
Hagerty is lashing the Hoyas.
They've got to drive from here in.
At Camp Let's, Jim PiXlee anu
his associates are counting the
hours between now and the first
game, crying for more time. Dutch
Bergman tells the world that he
has to hurry. Time truly is at .
premium.
Hagerty is singing the blues
over his attack. The varsity
wasn't able to bulge the second
teams defense yesterday in a
sizzling scrimmage. OF course, the
Hoya director alternated his
backs, and this, perhaps, initiated
against expert and perfect tim
ing. Moulin, BarabaS, Wychunas
and Dolly were the final choices.
BURKE sTANDOUT
Burke, one of the Hoyas guards,
looms as a standout. He refused
to be knocked down or moved
over.
Jim Pixlee and his associates
are pleased with the showing of
Bruce Mahan as the Colonials
plunge forward in their work.
This kid has been on the borders
of success for a long time; two
years in fact, and now he may go
to town.
Joey kaufman may match
Mahan'S efforts between now and
opening game day, but he Will have
to move along. The rest of the
squad is stepping right out and
the coaching staff is more than
encouraged.
CARROLL STARS
Dutch Bergman finds much In
Irish CAROLS work to commend
the youth to local football enthusi-
astS as the Catholic University
eleven whirls through its practice.
The boy this year has reported
without any of the agonies, woes
and injuries that beSet him last
year.
Carroll will take his place
with the great backs of Catholic
University this year" Bergman
said as practice closed this
morning. Maybe a big order,
but he has the stuff and the
fight. He ranks with Tommy
Whalen. He can run broken
field and do about anything
else that good backs should do"

uuucf HIS IuICldScs
The boys who whirled and
plunged through the intrica-
cies Of the double wing and Ger.
tain variations cunningly planned
by this master tactician of the
field, have scarcely noticed the
change that was being wrought.
But the driving scrimmageS OF
the past two days have revealed
the new order.
The double wing back forma'
ton has been dropped. Maryland
this year will develop its attack
from the single wing and the
short punt formation. These were
the formations which DobSon de.
veloped to a high degree Of eff
cheney at Clemson, Richmond and
elsewhere. Maryland hopes to
ride to glory upon their power
this fall.
Delaying a change in system I'M
til the last man of an earlier
regime had completed his athletic
career at Maryland, Dobson re-
veals another side Of his interest
ing and high character as a coach.
He came to Maryland with a full
appreciation of the great ability
Of H. C. "Curley") Byrd as a
coach, strategist and tactician. He
had a full appreciation Of the
sterling worth of Jack Faber as a
coach.
DISCARD OLD
He knew, too, that to ask the
boys to discard all that had been
taught to them by these men who
are his friends and associates to-
day would be placing a sore bur.
den upon all concerned. So he
worked along on the Warner syS-
tenn then in use, but with an eye
to the future, set the foundation
for the single wing and the short
punt formation which one day
would be used exclusively.
That day arrived last spring
when the Terps were called out to
practice. The youngsters who
were to report this year were
equipped with a few simple plays,
and DobSon watched keenly their
reaction to the new system. He
is still watching keenly, for with a
team comprised mostly Of young
SterS, he has a long pull ahead
Of him.
The short punt formation Is
one Of the most powerful in use
today. It admits Of powerful at

1,1OO SCHOOLS HELD
MENACE TO SAFETY
List of Buildings Reported tt
P. W. A. Is Sent to Senate
Committee.

A list of 1,10O school buildings de-
clared by Col. Horatio B. Hackett, as
sistant P. w A. administrator, to be
"a menace to life, safety and health
was forwarded yesterday to the Sen
ate Committee on Education and
Labor.
1T is a crime that such conditions
are permitted to exist" Hackett said.
''Of these buildings, sol are nothing
but fire traps, and IS have been actu-
ally condemned by municipal authori-
ties"
The list was sent in response to a
resolution introduced by Senator
Schvellenbach, Democrat, of Wash
ington, who asked the P W. A. for
a complete record of all school build
ings it had been asked to rebuild.
The resolution had been offered as
a result of the recent explosion in a
public school in New London, Tex,
which caused several hundred deaths.
Col Hackett said conditions report
ed to P. w. A. in applications for new
school buildings showed that hun
dreds of them lacked fire escapes and
had holes in the floor and sides.
The Public Works Administration
now limited in its future building
program, has only a depleted fund
from which to allocate money fol-
new school buildings. Included ir
approximately 800 offers made by P
W. A. to various States and cities
Hackett said were some projects fol

interests can finance them.
