Carroll Most Versatile.
Vic Carroll. who has proved prob

having played every position on the
line in the last three years, but
who has confined his duties to CEN

ball-snapper this year, will be ready
for duty as guard.
Erickson comes to the Redskins
from their farm at Hazleton, Pa.

ApostoIi-Corbett
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press 9nnrts Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The local
boxing mob is in mourning over the
Tony Harry Thomas af-
fair in Philadelphia on Monday
night, fearing the game in general
will be dampened by the splash.
Specifically, the Mike Jacobs group
is afraid the blasting given Tony's
3d-round knockout victory will keep
many customer away from Friday
nights middleweight scrap between
Fred Apostoli and Young Corbett
III at the Garden.
Gotham Fans Wary.
The fight fan is a scary bird at
best, and wasn't too excited about
Apostoli and Corbett to begin with,
so the locals naturally think it was
a dirty trick for Galento and Thom-
as to flush the flock right at this
time, with winter coming on.
1T was nothin' but greed" de-
clared the manager of several big
name fighters. Here we had what
looked to be a big season comm up,
and these mugs have to come along
and ruin it. Galento coulda waited
a few months until he had clear re-
covered from that pneumonia and
then fought real fighter. Now
he's ruined
Agrees Tony's Ruined.
The consensus is that Tony's
ruined, all right. They've yanked
in the welcome mat on him in
Philadelphia. and any chances he
previously had of getting big fght
under Jacobs auspices are gone.
The colorful Tony will have to go
back to his East Orange saloon. even
though he generally is considered
an innocent party.
There will be. however. no more
loud talk about the Globular Ga
lento challenging Joe Louis or any
one else for the heavyweight title.
There never was much sense to it,
for the good-natured Tony on his
best day was not more than sec
ond-rate fighter with striking
capacity for beer.

Referee Hos Too Many
Wisconsin Relatives

1t was a new record up until the
time it was disallowed by the ref
cree, whose father and grandfather
had been Wisconsin men.
A comical incident occurred a cou-
pie of years later when I doubled as
captain and coach of the undefeated
Notre Dame team in my freshman
season. We were playing Army.
Boys said in the huddle. this
is the referee who robbed me in the
Wisconsin game. Do you know what
I am going to do now? I am going
to invent the forward pass"
The play went 103 yards for a
touchdown, as the crowd roared.
They had never seen anything like
it before.
Are you going to allow that one?"
I asked the referee, with a cold
sneer.
Nope" he replied, and sure
enough he didn't. He was the nephew
Of the Army coach.
Rockne and Dorais got credit for
the same play le years later. Fur
thermore Hefelfinger claims I was
offSide. How does he know? He was
out of the play
I guess I will have to write my
memoirs and clear these matters UP.

Unbeoten Cleveland A. C.. Boys
Buy Own Grid Unies, Pay Dues
To Defruy Other Expenses

Cleveland Athletic Club eleven, q
90-pound OUTFIT now in its NTH
year under Coach Larry Conant, has
gone through its season thus far un-
defeated. winning 10 games and
piling up a total of 2ll points while
allowing only 20.
1t Is an unusual team in several
ways, especially in It's organization
and coaching methods. 1t is a CO.
operative club, not sponsored by
any one. and each player buys his
own uniform and equipment and
contributes SO to the club funds to
pay for footballs transportation and
other necessary expenses.
The boys. who are from 8 to l3
years old. first are taught the funda-
mentals Of notwithstanding. tack
ling, falling on the ball-before
learning how to run plays. Then,
and not until then, does Conant give
each Of them diagrom Of the plays.
This year the team is using eight
fundamental plays. several of which
have variations. 8hey all start from
an unbalanced line, which Conant
has found most effective after several
years of experimenting with both
types The diagram given each
player are photostated onto a tag
which is pinned onto the players
uniform where they easily can be
learned and are ready for hasty ref
erence during a game.
Each player has a different dia-
gram on which his part in the game
is in solid white while the parts
of the other players merely are out
lined. In this way, Conant believes,
the boys are less likely to become
confused.
Evening star., 1938-11-16

The coach insists on a perfect
attendance record at both practices
and games, and also makes sure
that all players are in good physi-
cal condition. Results Of this are
shown, he said, when not a single
serious injury ever has happened
on his squad. and casualties so far
this year total up to one bloody
nose.
Conant played football at Philips

studied all the modern methods of

He's the little fellow with the big

Queen weighs 1855 pounds sopping

Coach Leonard B. "Stub" Allison
ranks Queen as one of the greatest
inspirational players he has tutored.
Queens college football career
topped at the start. AS a member
of the 1887 freshman team he played
two games. He quit the sport under
doctors orders. They feared a
throat infection would develop into
something far more serious.
Last spring he appeared for prac-
tice with physical okeh. The first
thing he did was break his hand.
So he had no practice.
Jumps Into Regular Job.
In the last period of the St. Mary's
game, opening the season in Sep
tember, he went into the lineup.
California was behind in the score.
Queens entry helped turn the tide
of battle California won. The No.
substitute on the list of centers
became the first-string man in
few minutes of play.
He is majorlng in criminology, of
all things, with the idea of taking up
police work after graduation.
In his spare time he works for an
optometrist.

Should Eastern, last years cham

Eastern's chances of helping Tech

Western Out of 1t.
Western is out of the running even
for second place, having finished its
6-game schedule with two defeats.
The first was handed it by Central
IN its opening game, and Tech fin
ished it of yesterday by winning
60. in a game with second place at
stake. A short pass on the 3O-yard
line In the second quarter from
Johnny Gilmore to Paul Dean, who
raced across the line untouched, was
the deciding play.
The game was hard fought
throughout. with both sides threat

In the second half Western was
unable to move through the Tech

sorted to trapping the ends and
sweeping around. An advance was
made to the Techs 25 by GEORGE

me in my tracks. Those were not my
