Our biggest problem this year."
began Jack Hagerty idly lingering a
football magazine. will be winning
games, and with that schedule star
ing us in the face it isn't pleasant
to think about"
The Georgetown mentor nodded
toward an innocent-looking list of
eight names - Temple, Roanoke,
Syracuse. Bucknell, George WASH
lngton. West Virginia, Maryland and
New York University. They aren't
new to District fans but the first to
knock of the Happy Hoyas will get
an extra dab of black ink on the
sports pages because Georgetown
goes into '39 with one of those rare
undefeated, united records.
Hagerty is beginning his sabbath
cal year at the Hilltop, but it isn't
shaping up as one of rest, but the
most narrowing of his coaching ca
reer. He must pay the penalty for
last seasons unblemished record. He
loses some key men, especially in the
front line that has been Georgetown
supporters pride and JOY these last
few years. and of course there's Joe
Mellendeck, the lone triple threat
back of the squad, whose return is
doubtful.
Finding triple -threater to re-
place Joe is going to be our second
hardest task" Jack admitted. He
fitted into our spread-play forma-
ton like key, and it won't be much
good to us unless we find a capable
man to take his place"
Curtain Raiser No Setup.
Temple, with Fred Swan in the
pilots booth, will be anything but
a pushover in the curtain raiser.
Syracuse is picked to be one of the
East's top teams with Ossie Solem
just beginning to get his bearings at
the school. Bucknell is supposed to
be weaker, although Hagerty can't
figure why, inasmuch as it loses only
a few men. George Washington has
been building quietly and Bill Rein
hart isn't saying much-a bad sign
for the opposition. West Virginia
loses only Atty, brilliant guard,
and should be better than last year.
Frank Dobson can be depended on
to steer Maryland back into the fore
front of the Southern Conference.
The Terps hardly can get as many
unfortunate breaks as befell them
last autumn. New York U. always
has been a tough hombre for the
Hoyas, and even little Roanoke is
coming up with its 1888 eleven in
tact. No, Hagerty can't find solace
IN the schedule.
Well, what does Georgetown have,
who did it lose? Casualties in the
line are extremely heavy, for Lefty
Riofski, a crack center; Bill Burke
and Jim Hill, regular guards; Rob-
bic Robinson, reserve tackle; Zinko-
witch and Kowalski, guard and
tackle, respectively, have departed
from the Hilltop. Kowalskie, who
was expected to move into a regu-
lar berth this year, and Zinkovitch
were dropped because of scholastic
deficiencies and more are on the
ragged edge.

League-leading Cincinnati Reds
haven't been setting any houses afire
with less than 500 ball on their
current Eastern swing, the second
place Cards have looked woefully
pathetic.
Drop Eight Of Last Ten Games.
They were handed 2-1 setback by
the Boston Bees yesterday, their
third in four starts against Casey
StengePs stingers and their seventh
IN ten outings in the East. And not
only did they take a cutting around,
but they took it, for the second
straight day, from a hurting young
ster whose only claim to big league
fame is that he wears the uniform.
On Monday it was AL Moran,
making his debut in the big leagues,
who pinned back their ears. Yester-
day, Richard Merriwell Erickson
knocked of the Gas Housers with
eight hits in his first start since
June %.
This humiliating loss not only left
the Cards five and one-half games
back Of the Reds, but pushed them
to where they're only two games in
front Of the third-place Cubs.
The Reds and Cubs, and every
other National League club, were
given day off by Old Man Weather.
Over in the American League the
New York Yankees lost and the Bos.
ton Red Sox won, leaving the Yanks
only IL games in front.
The outstanding feature of the
day was the daf1y ninth inning,
which saw the Detroit Tigers blow a
five-run lead and come right back
to take the game from the world
champions, rs. The defeat, the
Yanks' first in the West, ended their
10-game winning streak
Gehringer, Higgins Do 1t.
Going into the ninth, Buck New
som and the Detroits were riding
along on a 6-1 edge. Then the roof
fell in. Six hits, including Joe Di
Maggio's game-tying three-run hon.
er, wiped out the entire Tiger edge.
But, with Fireman Johnny Murphy
doing the tossing the last of the
ninth. Charley Gehringer and Pinky
Higgins treated themselves to a dou-
BILE apiece to push the winner across.
The Red Sox had to call on Ted
Williams to turn the trick for them
against the Cleveland Indians. IA.

polo-playing stars indulge in their
favorite sport, may sound swanky
swanky-and we're not saying it
isn't-but to the Redskins, who were
spending the first of six consecutive

clared today. And those who miss
them against the Bulldogs are going
to feel it where it hurts most-in
their pocketbooks. Considering the
fact that there hardly is a member
of the squad who isn't in debt for in
cidentals until their first pay check
after the first league game, there
are not liable to be many who neg
lect their memory work during the
next few days.
With the exception of Jay Turner,

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Two foot
ball dream" teams meet in Soldier
Field tonight before $4,000 specta-
tors and the contest is likely to be
nightmare for one or the other.
The lure for the sellout crowd in
the massive lakefront stadium is the
sixth annual charity battle between
the College All-Stars and the New
York Giants, professional cham
pions. 1t will be broadcast by M. B.
S. and N. B. c.
Both teams have everything any
coach could desire in the way of
talent, reserves, color and spirit.
Each has a bevy of powerful run
ners, accurate passers and depend
able kickers ready to operate behind
sturdy forward walls. The COL
legians are slight favorites.
In five previous all-star games,
the college boys, seniors of the pre-
ceding season, have routed the pros
twice. The pros won one game and
the other two ended in ties.
Giants Playing An army"
Coach Steve Owen, husky pilot
OF the Giants, says he has three
full teams ready to go against the
high-spirited amateurs, but en-
phasized the fact his rivals had a
squad of 60 players.
We aren't playing team" he
added, I'VE are playing an army.
But can say the Giants are in fine
condition and we have some new
stuff to toss at the college bows.
There's no telling what will happen
IN a game like this, but I think we
stand a good chance"
The Giants are undefeated in
All-Star competition, but the cham
plons never have competed in this
game before, their three decisions
coming against All-Star squads in
the East.
The starting lineup for the ALL
stars, chosen by the fans in
l0,916. .366-vote contest. will be intro
duced in a colorful pre-game cere-
mony, but some of them will see

Air Sleepers for Alaskans

For the first time in history, Alaskans making combination steamer-plane trips to the United States can board giant air sleep CTS directly at Seattle.
 As the latest innovation in air travel, Mainliner sleeper ships are being operated directly in and out of the Puget Sound city by United Air Lines. Features include 12 berths, 6 feet 5 inches long and wider than twin bed separate dressing rooms for men and women, and sky room where passengers may chat, have a midnight lunch or play cards before retiring. Alaskans arriv- ing in Seattle by steamer and boarding the Mainliner sleeper at 4:45 pm. can retire when they choose and wake up in Chicago at the breakfast hour. New York is reached shortly after luncheon.
 According to United officials, the sky sleeper services are ex- pected further to stimulate stead fly increasing steamer plane tray el to and from Alaska. The fact that residents of the United Stat es can leave points as distant as the Atlantic seaboard and make round trips by plane and steam CT to Alaska within the limits of a tWo-weeks' vacation is being emphasized in United's spring and summer vacation travel pro- motion throughout the East, Mid west and California.
