FAIR ELEVEN SEEN
At WESTERN HIGH
Eight Returning Lettermen
Bolster Hopes-Barnes
Scoring Threat.

The difference between first or sec
ond and fourth places in the inter-
high school football standings Is not
always so much. Three touchdowns
at the proper times last year would
have pulled the red-jacketed Western
warriors from their also-ran position
and made them serious contenders for
high f1rst-division honors.
That is one OF the thoughts Coach
Dan Ahearn has in the back of his
mind this week as he begins serious
work with a squad Of so candidates.
Another touchdown each against Gen.
tral and Wilson would have won games
that ended in ties and another
touchdown against the championship
Eastern outfit would have tied that
game.
through graduation Ahearn lost
three regular backs and most of his
line. However, he does have eight
Iettermen returning-more than any
rival coach-and while most of his
squad members are young he is not
touched by that bugaboo that injured
prospects and some OF the other
schools, the l9-year-age limit.
Barnes Is Scoring Hope.
Westerns scoring hopes can be built
around Halfback George Barnes,
potential triple-threat player. In the
series last year Barnes proved to be
something Of kicker, passer and
runner, and he figures to be improved
THIS season. Another hopeful left over
from last year Is Tom O'Hanlon, a
last rangy end, good at snagging
passes. Roddy Snow, a substitute back
on the 1887 squad. figures to be eligible
Tor a starting role this year.
Ahearn is without good potential
center, and it still is too early to see
what can be developed. A few ex-
perienced letermen have come back
for the line positions, however, and
with the aid OF newcomers Western
should present fairly capable front.
Jack Neam and George Papas are the
guards and George Thomas, Parren
Reed and Joe Viehman the tackles
back from last year.

TULANE RESTORES NO. 18
Buddy Banker to Wear Number
Made Famous by Brother

For the first time since 1882 No. 18
Will be worn by a Tulane football
player when Burton Buddy Bank
er reports for practice in the fall
Ihe number was made famous bv
Bill Banker, brother of Buddy, ana
when Don Zimmerman completed his
career after using the same number
IL was decided that "18" should be
retired to the trophy room along with
the 33' made famous by Jerry Dali
rymple.
Now, six years later, it has been
declded to restore it, as Buddy Banker
had brilliant sophomore season and
bids fair to emulate the deeds of his
famous brother. The latter was known
as the Iron Horse because he never
had time taken out for him during his
three years and was a Commute
player in every game
Buddy broke into the lineup in the
middle of last year.

He's more than likely to be

But over and above his scintillating

rounds of championship golf in his
last two tests over Indian Spring and
Congressional Bobby is exactly par
In the Middle Atlantic junior he
scored l45. which is one over per
feet figures. In the sectional quail
lying rounds for the amateur he
scored l43. which is one under. A
divot litter who can do that over
two different courses has more on the

And above all that Bobby has
heightened his golf game until he

Oakmont is Americas greatest gol1
course, warned the lads that they
can't fling those pitch shots up along
side the pin up there at Hutton and
make them stick 'They can pitch to
those greens all right says Freddie
But they can't pitch EN- right at the
pin and have EN- stay there. They'll
wear their sand wedges right down to
mashie niblicks if they do that"
Nor will those 3-inch burrows in the
sand traps. the same burrows that had
the pros dizzy back in 1885 when the
open championship was played at OAK
mont, annoy the simon-pures in the
coming title tourney.
They've practically pulled the
teeth of Bill FOwnes' favorite
bunkers. says Freddie, by sub
stituting mere 1-inch burrows
for the deep 3-inch depressions
that caused the pros to vail that
all you needed at Oakmont was
a strong back and a weak mind
If any.
But those molars of Oakmont still
can cause plenty of headaches, even
though they've taken away some of
the terrors of that course where 10
never has been broken in a national
tournament.
Greens Not Too Fast
Fred thinks, too, that they've spoiled
the 10th hole by removing the bunkers
at the right of the green at this one
shotter. And they won't have the
greens so fast for the tournament, u
says the Columbia mentor. They'll
be perfect for putting, but they won't
be skating rinks as they were in '35.
Oakmont hasn't had touch of brown
patch. I've never seen better putting
surfaces. Yet that course remains the
finest test of golf in my book, even if
they have taken out lot of bunkers
The boys who are in the habit
of banging full brassie shots and
having them check up on wa
tered greens will be in plenty of
trouble up there.
Those greens aren't faced up against
the shot, nor are, they kept soft. You
have to play the shot and not have
the green play it for YOU
Fred's advice comes as most of the
Washington qualifiers are on their
way to Oakmont Miller B. Stevin-
son and Ralph Bogart, the Oldest and
youngest qualiflers from the Capital
left town for the scene of the cham
pionship. Tomorrow Bobby Brownell
the toW-headed 19year-old from
Manor, who topped the field in the
sectional rounds at Congressional last
week, will leave with his dad. Sc
will Martin F. Mccarthy and Levi
Yoder, the other two qualifiers from
the Capital All of them will have at
least two full days of practice over
that man-killing course. They'll need
it.
Brownell Due to Star.

around that well-knoWn corner that
Bobby Brownell is due to be more
than a mild sensation up there at
Hutton next week. The tow-head has
