Coach Robert Armstrong, FL Cen
tro junior college mentor. Monday
started his schedule hunting cam
paign I'm earnest following definite
announcement from Brawley that
the northend school would not or
ganize a football team.
Armstrong. who welcomed Marvin
Walker as another guard candidate
for his 1899 dream team" on Fri
day. planned stiff workouts this
week. weather permitting, for the
Arabs opener against Yuma on Fri
day.
Yuma boasts its strongest team
in five years. but the Arabs will
nevertheless be top-heavy favorites
to win because of their star studded
lineup
Sander. Gray, Earl Walker and
Lamar Gillette apparently have the
edge in the backfield, Armstrong
said. and will probably earn start

Conn
Defends
Title

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25. UP)-
Handsome Billy Conn. king of the
light heavies. risks his title and a
golden future in the heavyweight
division tonight when he tangles
again with Melio Bettina at Forbes
field.
Conn of the K,eig-light profile is
favored at 81 to beat the squat,
swarthy southpaw slugger from Bes-
con, N. Y. just as he did in July
when he won the l75-pound crown
from Melio.
Billy chose his home town for
this first title defense. And home
town admiration is reflected strong
ly in the long betting odds. because
their first encounter at New York's
Madison Square Garden was
mighty close brawl.
If the Irish boxing master wins
tonight's l5-rounder. he will make
one more defense in November or
December against Gus Lesnevich Of
New jersey. After which he plans
to launch a heavyweight campaign
aimed at Joe Louis big-money title.

he became 2 pitcher.
This baseball guinea pig who
survived the experiment is now
pitching for Cincinnati and his
name is Bucky Walters. This amaz-
ing young man is the chief reason
the Reds are 3ls games in front
of the pack and apparently headed
for the pennant and the World
Series with the Yankees. His sinker
ball has won 27 of the 93 games
that the Reds have in the win col
umn, and his record would be even
better than this had he not been
called in SO often for relief. Not
since Dizzy Dean won 30 games for
the Cards in 1884 has any pitcher
had such a mark in the National
league. And Walters victories are
the kind that count-against the
top teams.
It's amazing how little you hear
of this shy ex-third baseman of
the Philadelphia Phillies. Remem-
Der when Dean was winning all his
games? Radio stations had to
change their wave lengths to get
away from Deans static. He was
good, he knew it, and he wanted
everybody else to know it.
Walters doesn't even like to talk
about his pitching. He likes to spin
warns about the Good oil days"
when he was playing poor third
base for the poor Phillies. His
ambition is to stop pitching and
get back on third base.
With Jimmy wilson's experiment
with Walters having proved so
successful, 1 am rather worried
for the future of baseball as we
know it today. can see ambitious
managers at training camps next
year greeting each incoming third
baseman with something like this:
Get any idea Of playing third
base out of your head, Buddy. Get
out there and pitch. If Bucky Wal
ters could do it you can"
This will eventually necessitate
the elimination of third base from
the game because there won't be
anybody to play it. AS I lie here in
my opium den, visualizing the game
of tomorrow, I see that the play
ers are going to have to rcn direct
ly from second base to home plate.
This will necessitate their running
through the pitchers box, where
the pitcher will be allowed to tag
them If he can, because he will al
ways be an ex-third baseman and
still have the powers of that posi-
ton.

ThornhiLPS Worries

'fPsfs W "ftS
Tiny Thornhil, good-natured
Stanford football coach, who may
be serving his last term at the Uni
versity, will place his chances for
success upon the throwing ann of
left-handed frankie Alberts. SEN
sation up from last years fresh
man squad.
Faced with the loss of 10 letter
men. including bsckfield aces Bill
Psulman, Fred Ledeboer. and Pete
Fay, Thornhill is building his new
team around the stocky sopho-
more halfback from southern CAL
ifornia.
Thornhill has a squad of 63 men,
including Is lettermen, who re-
ported only two weeks before Stan
ford's opening game of the season
against Oregon State. Out of Thorn
hills three-score candidates, how
ever. it's Albert who holds the spot
light.
AS Thornhill. starting his seventh
year at Stanford, plans it. Albert
Will be the key man of "tirecrack-
er offelse" built along the lines of
single wing and double wing for
nations devised by Glenn Scobey
Warner, who taught Thornhill at
Pittsburgh, and later at Stanford
when Pop was head man and Tiny
his first assistant
Thornhill will build the backfield
around Albert and Norman Stand
lee, a 210-pound combination full
back-quarterback, and the line
around Hampton Pool. a 207-pound
guard whose eligibility for one more
year was a matter Of a special rul-
ing by the Pacific Coast Conference.
Line Veterans Lost
The principal losses from the
1888 team are in the line. Ends
Jack Clark and Bill McElroy, Tack
les Pete zagar, Jim Sadler and BY |
West, guards Bob Dakan and Pete |
Donshue, and center Tony Calvelli |
are gone. Donahue may return but |
Thornhill isn't counting too strong
ly on the 2o6-pounder.
Remaining are Pool. whose play |
in late games in 1888 was outstand-
ing, and tackle Stan Andersen from |
the first-string forces; Bill Bra
heny, Chuck Orme. and Steve Keus-
self. who won their letters as SUBJ
stitute guards last year; Wally De-
witt. who sqeezed in enough min
utes subbing for Calvelli at center
to win letter, and ends Andy Stoj-
kovich. Bill willard and Stan Graft.
A flock of men from the 1888 re-
serves and freshman team will aug |
ment this lineup but the veterans
are the ones on whom Thornhill
will depend.
The backfield forces lost Paul
man, Ledeboer, Fay. Bill Kirsch
and Glenn Hamilton but there are
plenty left over as Stanford backs
proved brittle last year and Thorn
hill used many. With Albert and
Standlee as the standouts. Tiny
also has available Jim Groves,
Gene Coldiron, Rod Parker, Hugh
Gallarneau, Jack Brenner, Thor
