Absence Of backfie|d
Aces Brings Grief
To Eagles Coach
Menke Has to Rebuild
Offense as Loss of
Hall Proves Blow

Dark, foreboding clouds hovered
over American University's campus
yesterday afternoon as the Eagles
concluded their first week of foot
ball practice, as Coach George
Menke found himself confronted
with total absence of experienced
ball carriers in addition to his usual
quota of worries.
Hardest blow was the loss of Bob
Hall. 200-pound guard, who suffered
recurrence of an old jaw injury
and will be out for the season. Add
ed to this was information that
Benjamin, Werksman and Murray,
veteran backs around whom Menke
intended to build backfield, are
not returning to school, Bartlett
and Toner, only other dependable
backs on last years squad, grad
uated, so Menke actually is building
from the ground up in this depart-
ment.
Heartening to the coach has been
the work of Jim Flaherty, 17O-pound
fullback; Otto Streitberger, Archie
Norford, backs, and McClane and
Cohen in the line.
The Eagles do not open until
October IA when they entertain
Randolph Macon. and Menke can
well use the time in his search for
material.

Walker to Defend Title.
In place Of match play the title
will be decided over the 72-hole
medal play route. Leo j. Walper,
the Bethesda driving range proprie-
tor, has won the championship for
the last two years, and on his rec
ord, will be the man to lick again.
But Witty Cox, the District open
champ, and Fred Mcleod himself,
won't be any soft spots. Nor will
Lewish Worsham, the young Burn
ing Tree pro, be far from the top
at the finish.
Meanwhile the pros have some
thing to think about in the offer of
the District of Columbia Golf As
sociation to sponsor and secure a
course for the District open champ
ionship, a forlorn little orphan
which has been held by the pros for
the last two years.
Closed to Outside Pros.
"But If we sponsor the tourna-
ment it will be open only to pro-
fessionals in and around Washing
ton," said DR.. w. c. Barr, secretary
of the District association. mo out
siders and no touring pros. 1t will
be strictly a District of Columbia
open championship" Now it's up to
the pros to go ahead and raise some
money for the affair. It's the first
time any amateur organization in
Washington has sponsored the Dis
trict open tourney.

Melio Bettina went through un.
usually lengthy sparring sessions
today to wind up the training grind N

AT the end of the sessions in the

installed Conn a 1-to-2 favorite to
retain the crown he won from this

hot night last July. The chances
were these odds would lengthen

Workouts Uncommonly Long.
Neither looked too impressive to-
day. Conn going through a nine
round drill with four mates and
Bettina tossing punches for seven
heats. Although the handlers OF
neither battler thought such lengthy
workouts odd. veteran ring OBJ
servers commented on the rarity of
such goings-on so short q time
before the fight.
The fight has caught on" in the
last few days so we'll that it now
stands out as the biggest fistic tea
party ever held in this city of steel

confident some $4,000 fans will turn
out in the home of the Pittsburgh

contribute to gross gate of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. This
would exceed by far the previous

Dempsey Visits Principals.
Activities at both camps were
stepped up today by a visit from
Jack Dempsey, who was in town
to referee an amateur fight show.
Jack blew into Conn's camp, some
IL miles out of town, behind wall
ing police sirens, ''chinned" for
a few minutes, then proceeded to
Bettina'S mountainside quarters.
Afterward, he wasn't sure which
fighter would wind up on top.
However, Conn looks great" he
commented. He's a very clever
