!. 5. AUTHORS NOW ON WAY
 OVER OCEAN
But European Celebrities Are Coming to America
 Explanation Made
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, April You can find a dozen reasons why promin- ent American authors are quietly booking passage for Europe,
 But none of them strikes so clos ely to the root of the matter as the influx of foreign celebrities fleeing to these shores as refugees from Germany's nazism, Russia's com munism, and Italy's fascism.
 In other years while on their travels the Americans were roy ally entertained by their fellow workers abroad. Now it is their turn to play host and prepare the guest room for occupancy This would be easy if the number of visitors was on a par with other years, but it isn't and that's the point. So many are arriving on every boat that busy American writ CTS with literary chores to perform just cant find time to turn guide and remain authors at the same time
 For instance, one of BrOadway's ablest playwrites gave dinner the other night for 14 guests. With the exception of the host and my self, all were foreigners with po- litical or artistic axes to grind. h. cluded in the company were three Russians, two Germans, and an Italian
 The Russians were outspoken in their appraisal of Hitler and the Austrian coup, but shut up like clans when Moscow was mentioned. The Germans were willing to discuss anything under the wide sky ex- cept Berlin and the Third Reich. And the Italian grew bored when Mussilini got an airing, but he quite readily explained how he would re- organize the Soviet state if given a chance
 Two days later this playwright embarked for far places Unable to complete his chores at home, he will sit on an Irish hillside, DOT table typewriter in lap, and work for the next two months. As for his friends who entertained him of yore in chateaus and castles in the Alps and along the Rhine, they will just have to get along as best they can

 Stressing further to the Depart ment the seriousness of the situa- ton, the Governor said:

Putting on two late rallies, the Sem

For seven innings. George Caster,
Mack's ace, had the visitors blanked
but they took advantage Of an error
and some timely hits to score three
runs in the eighth to take the lead.
Mackman Helps Criffs.
Pinch-hitter West, working for Gull
iani. walked and Wasdell, batting for
Krakaukas, famed. When Case was
erased the outlook was not so good.
Lewis. however, singled and then the
Senators got some aid from their
opponents.
Wright hit slow teaser down to
short Of the sort that generally results
In hit. This time Newsome made a
de luxe play on a hard chance and
fairly steamed the ball to first. The
throw was fast and accurate but when
Nick Etten, the youthful first baseman,
spilled the ball, Wright was safe and
West was across the plate. Bonura
followed with a double to left to score
two more.

clipped singles to bring in two more

Kelley Gets Credit.
Kelley was so good that he pitched
to only six Macks in the ninth and

victory. The loser was Caster.
Lewis and Myer set the pace for the
winners by collecting three hits each
while Travis contributed two. Case.
Wright, Bonura and Ferrell had one

when Stan Hacks single, triples by

C0L0N|ALS EASE
TROUBLES IN LINE
Shift Of Nowaskey, Jones
BoIsters Forward Wall.
Backs Unsettled.

George Washington University's line
problem. which loomed as a stumbling
block for the Colonials this season,
gradually is being solved by Coach Bill
Reinhart. with Bob Nowaskey and
Sunny Jones serving to tighten his
burden by responding nicely to shifts.
Nowaskey. moved from fullback to
end. is regarded by Reinhart as one Of
the squads most valuable players re-
gardless of position. Originally an end,
Bob devoted his sophomore year to
fullback and halfback and the expert
ence he snatched in those roles likely
will prove valuable to the Colonials
this year.
An excellent pass receiver and fast.
dangerous ball carrier Nowaskey
doubtless will be employed on many
end-around plays. giving him an op-
portunity to unveil his talent and at
the same time diversity George Wash
ington's attack. Reinhart expects the
Scottsdale. Pa. lad to develop into an
outstanding wingman.
Line Play Picks Up.
Jones. 205-pound lineman from
Wiergate, Tex. was sensational at
tackle in G. W's last three games in
1887. but has made the shift to center
with little difficulty and is expected to
be one of the spearheads in the for
ward wall
The effective, confident play of
Nowaskey and Jones has perked up
George Washington's line considerably
and Line Coach Botchy Koch may
surprise with the most formidable
G. w. line in several seasons.
The starting line will average a few
ounces under 1875. with Nowaskey at
100 and Sam Babich at 1870, ends;
John Rebholz. 2l5, and Duce Keahey,
205. tackles; Guy Renzaglia, l89, and
1zzy Weinberg. l80, guards, and Jones,
205, center. The reserve strength still
is Of dubious caliber.
Backfield Still Problem.
In the backfield, however, the Colo
mails face more Of problem. Frank
Merka, burly halfback, reported a
week late for practice due to injury
and doubtless will miss G. W.'s OPEN
ing game with Furman Friday night
at Griffith Stadium.
Vic Sampson, ace of last years club.
and Billy Richardson, all-high product
at Central, will handle the running
and passing assignments. while Ken
Batson also is being relied upon heav-
lily by Reinhart.
Fred Sartore and John Tonkavitch,
in addition to Batson. are being
groomed for the fullback berth. with
Tom Grady, John Kokoski. Ralph
zelaska and Art Nowaskey scrambling
for othre backfield Jobs.
