OrercOnfident in Attitude
Toward Tilt With AU-Stars

Baugh, Barber. Irwin. Karcher and
Millner-spparently are the only ones
who are taking the game seriously.
The rest, 50 far. seem to be coolly un-
aware that they are to play one Of
the hardest games Of their lives in
just . little more than 48 hours.
Baugh expressed it aptly this morn
ing, when he said:
Il pity those poor kids who haven't
played in one Of these before They
don't know what they're in for"
Flaherty's told them ever since he
started training. August 10. that the
All-Stars would be at their peak and
that for them to be at anything less
would prove fatal. Apparently they've
thought 1t just another line"
Skin Notes.
In anticipation Of close game Fla
herty had Riley Smith, George Kara
matte and Bob Masterson practicing
placements up to . distance Of 10
yards yesterday and from all an
giles Smith was booting them
most accurately from the longest dis
tances and was the last to leave the
field Just to show how green
some Of the Skin rockies are, Jim
(Jack Rabbit) Abbitt never had ridden
more than 20 miles on a train before
the overnight trip here Said that
Elon (his alma mater used to travel
to -of-town games ON buses.
Quite few of the rockies seem to
be in . daze, not realizing what it is
all about . That may account for
the indifference The rooms" to
which the Skins are assigned in their
headquarters at the Hotel Windermere
more closely resemble housekeeping
apartments Many have living
rooms, kitchens, dinettes, boudoirs, five
and six closets and baths One
regular followed his bellhop around
as he opened the apartment and then
asked, timidly: Its very nice, but
where's the bed?" The B. H. opened

WHITE MAIN FOE,
FLAHERTY LEARNS
Coach, Discounting Stars
Walls, Says Skins Wit
See Much of Whizzer.
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
CHICAGO. Aug 29.-Several per-
sons who have been watching the COL
lege All-Stars in their daily prepara-
tions for us told me on my arrival
here that the collegians' coaches had
been totally dissatisfled-until Fri
days scrimmage They didn't think
their ends were as good as in previous
years, although they admitted that
they had the best guards and centers
that any All-Star squad evers had.
They also were bemoaning the fact
that l9 Of their "a backs were safety
men, which left them only" IS as
halfbacks and backers-up. Once again,
however, they admitted that the back
ers-up were the best secondary de-
fense men the collegians ever had.
White Provides Spark.
But the one outstanding lack which
was noted was the absence of any
spark plug, any single player who
might inject fire into the team and
make it click. Now understand that
they've found him and it's none other
than the one the Pittsburgh Pirates
signed to $4,000 contract for one
seasons play-Byron (Whizzer) White
They tell me that the All-Star coaches
say White is one of the greatest foot
ball players they ever have seen, and
his fire and leadership apparently is
just what the doctor ordered. Because
he was not one Of the two halfbacks re-
ceiving the highest number Of votes,
White won't be in the game at the
opening kickoff, but you can bet they
won't be long in rushing him into ac-
ton.
Fast Safety Backs.
I also hear that the halfbacks who
have been playing in the safety po-
sitions are the fastest group of backs
ever gathered on an All-Star squad
Such fellows as Pupils OF Notre Dame,
Isbell of Purdue, Uram and Gmitro
of Minnesota. Heap of Northwestern,
Hackney Of Duke, Farkas of Detroit
and the Whizzer are all speedboys
From what hear, they are planning
to break these fast backs into the
open and throw them passes. They
also are banking on these backs to in
tercept our passes as we'll as to return
punts and kick-offs for long gains.
Furthermore, these backs won't have
to depend solely on their own resources
for plenty of blocking is due to come
from Corby Davis of Indiana, Vanzo
Of Northwestern, Meek of California,
Patrick Of Pittsburgh and Mcdonald
Of Ohio State. Meek weighs 225,
Vanzo, 220; Davis. 215; Patrick, 200
and Mcdonald, 200. We have only one
back who weighs as much as 2O5, Ed
Justice. Riley Smith, the heaviest
Of the regular backfield, weighs only
200.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9-Indifference,
that No handicap which has kept
the professional football champion
from victory in the All-Star game for
the past two years. but which they
said couldn't get a foothold in the
ranks of the Washington Redskins,
has struck the 1887 pro champs and
led Coach Flaherty to drastic measures
Up until the Skins boarded the Chi
cago Limited in Washington last Sat-
urday, Faherty hadn't been worried
much about the lack Of pre-game talk
among his players, confident that once
they were headed for the battle scene
they would begin to get worked up"
over the big game. But. so far. there's
been just a lot Of loose talk and horse
play. with little mention Of what
they're here for. And Flaherty's noted
the contrast between this and last year
when the Skins started talking about
what they were going to do to the op-
position as soon as they boarded the
train and hotel lobby talk was pune
tuated with fighting words and curses
for the Giants, Eagles, Dodgers, ct al.
More Work Seen Remedy.
Ray thinks he's got the remedy, which
Is to start the Skins talking football,
more football and still more football.
II he hasn't, then nobody can do any,
thing about the situation For Fla
herty announced this morning that
three skull drills would be held daily
up until game time-one after break
fast, one after lunch and one after
dinner. Previously, only one skull drill
has been held daily. In other words,
there's going to be precious little time
which the boys are going to be able to
call their own.
One reason Faherty's planning
their spare time to be SO little Is so
that the boys won't have time to read
the Chicago newspapers. which. the
red-headed coach contends, are up to
their old tricks of making the pros
overconfldent. The FIRST headline
which greeted the Redskins as they
disembarked from the train yesterday
was, Redskins Choice to Beat ALL
Stars Wednesday," and today's sto-
ries, purportingto show that the Skins
are 25 favorites over the collegians
all are along the same vein. One even
went SO far as to say that the COL
legians' line doesn't begin to match
those of former years and that there
is a general lack Of polish among the
tackles and ends.

All-Star squads in the past-Smith,

Hershey Is First Of Three
Big Tournaments 9n Tap
During September.
By WALTER McCALLJyM.

Colts professional sharpshooters
who do their shotmaking for cash and
disdain the pretty little baubles which
the amateurs pick up, will have tidy
little pot at which to shoot during
September. A total OF $22, 500 in
folding money will be put up for the
fairway prospectors next month in
three big tournaments, topped by the
Westchester open, near New York, late
in the month.
Late this week selected field OF l6
top-notchers Of the pro game will
gather at Hershey, Pa, to play for
five grand in the Pennsylvania hills.
Henry Picard, the tall Yankee who
holds down the pro berth at Hershey,
probably will grab the major slice Of
the dough.

DAVIS CUP!V|CTOR
Rout Of Quist, BromWich by
Bulge, Mako in National
Doubles Tip-off.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug 29-Much Of the
pressure is off as the American and
Australian Davis Cup squads move into
Philadelphia today to prepare for the
five-match challenge round at Ger
mantown Cricket Club on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday
Even the most obstinate viewers
Withdrawn are feeling considerably
better since Don Bulge and Gen Mako,
this Nations fancy doubles combina-
ton. made soft pickings Of the Aus
tralian duo Of Adrian Quist and John
Bromwich in the finals Of the national
championships at Brookline Saturday,
6-3, 60, 6-1.
The nature of the victory indicated
very strongly that Bulge and Mako
will be able to repeat the dose in their
cup match next Sunday, and that, of
course. means that the United States is
top-lofty favorite to keep the trophy
won at Wimbledon year ago.
1t means that, with Bulge a virtual
cinch to win his two singles matches,
| the American team very probably can
scrape through even if Bobby Riggs, its
second singles star should lose to both
| Quist and Bromwich. This observer
still thinks the final count will be 4
to l, with Riggs trimming Bromwich.
Criticism Prods Bulge, Mako.
Bulge and Mako again have proved
they can rise to noble heights when
they are prodded. The way they moved
down the previously unbeaten Aussies
with the loss Of bu: six games in three
sets indicates they still are smarting
from the attempt of one tennis group
to break up their partnership.
The week Of practice at PHILADELPHIA
not only is designed to put the four
members OF the American team
Bulge, Mako, Riggs and Joe Hunt
IN top shape for the big match, but
will provide the Cup Committee with
an accurate line on future prospects.
This is particularly important In view
OF the knowledge that the incom-
parable Bulge will turn professional
before snow flies.
At the cup camp for weeks
training and observation are a dozen
OF the country's most promising kids,
chosen from 81 junior Davis Cup
groups. All have been given special
free coaching in past months, and
the two or three who prove them
selves outstanding this week will get
some really intensive drill during the
coming year.
U. S. Plans for Future.
The group includes only one first
ten player-Don McNeill of Oklahoma
City, who Is ranked ninth nationally
Frank Guernsey. jr.. of Rice Insti-
tute, national intercollegiate cham
pion; John Kramer, sensational
schoolboy prospect from California
and Frank Kovacs of Oakland are the
other standouts.
Others in the cup kindergarten are
Bob Kamrath of the University OF
Texas, Russell Bobbitt Of Georgia
Tech. Welby Van Horn of Los An
geles, Isadore Bells of Philadelphia,
Chester and Bill Murphy Of the Uni
versity of Chicago, Archie Henderson
University of North Carolina. anc
Bill Talbert, University of Cincin-
natl.
This is the only country now laying
such serious Davis Cup foundation

Ouist and Bromwich Don't
Ask Critics to Believe 1t.

The visitors certainly looked bad
against Bulge and Mako the other
day. What's more, any team in the
world, playing at its best, is apt to
lose to a combination which features
j. Donald Bulge, but even Bulge and
his trap-drum- beating partner, Gene
Mako, could not whip Quist and Brom-
wich by 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 without a
good deal of cooperation from the
parties of the second part.
Quist and Bromwich have been
billed as the finest doubles team in
the world, and on many occasions
they have lived up to their notices.
They have beaten Bulge and Mako,
among others. Both of them, by their
own confessions, are in good shape
physically. I do not see any reason to
believe that their game has collapsed
completely overnight, or that Bulge
and Mako suddenly have become six
times as good as they used to be.
To do them justice, Mr.. Quist and
Mr.. Bromwich are not asking us to be-
lieve it. They offered no adibis for
their showing last week. Their slogan
Is wait and see"
I expect that Quist and Bromwich
agreed beforehand to experiment with
this notion and that notion, to draw
out the policies of their opponents, to
cook up Davis Cup campaign from
actual, last-minute experience. I
think they were taking it easy.
But if they weren't-if that was the
best they can dol wish they would
for the love of Mike let me know by
-he first mail, because they will make
terrible sucker out of me otherwise,
as well as themselves.

Joker Is Seen in Easy
Defect of Australians.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

Special Correspondent of The Star
NEW YORK, Aug. 29-Either they
haven't got any tennis players in
Australia, or they haven't got any
ethics. That final match in the ma
tional doubles tournament on Satur-
day, when Bulge and Mako defeated
Adrian Quist and John Bromwich by
6-3, 60, 6-1, gives off weird,
herring-like perfume.
I do not wish to come right out and
say that I think Quist and Bromwich
are a couple of possums, but 1 think
Quist and Bromwich are a couple of
possums. In the vulgar language of
the race course, they were under
wraps when they played the match.
The two teams will meet again at
the end of this week, and it's possible
that the fate of Mr.. Davis cup will
hang upon the result of the doubles.
That being the case. would like to
bet f1orin that, if the Australians do
not actually win the match, they will
carry it to five sets.
And if they are capable of carrying
1t to five sets, there must have been
a colony of Senegambians in the royal
suite of the woodpile on Saturday
last. These are very dark and sinister
doings, indeed-unless you look at the
thing from the Australian point of
view
From the Australian point of view,
the Davis Cup is everything. The boys
do not actually plan to take their
Saturday baths in the Cup, If they
win it. or to carry their shirts in it.
but there will be high old time down
under if they can come marching
home with the silverware somewhere
