Navy Primes 10 Stop
Aerial Offensive

Green's Running Attoek
Is Declared Not Up
To Usuul STANDARD

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 11.-As the
Navy prepares to move en- masse on
the Baltimore Stadium for the foot
ball game with Dartmouth next
Saturday, the word has gone out
that it must meet a dazzling pass
attack, upon which the Indians are
basing their offensive.
Not since 1925 has Dartmouth used
the passing attack to the same ex-
tent.
Jack Hutchinson, a senior, is the
ace of the passers, with Bob Krieger
and Jack Orr, the latter a baseball
star, as able seconds, and there are
plenty of capable receivers. With
a running attack not up to the
usual standard, Dartmouth must
rely greatly upon aerials.
Navy, hoping to polish the power

strated in both of it's previous games
is likely to be stronger in manpower
and in generally improved physical

The team should regain the serv-
ices of Cliff Benz, fast 200-pound
back; probably Lou Mayo, another
good back. and the gigantic Harold
Hanson. end. Lenz not only has
drive, but he has height, which
should help in forward-pass de-

Good things do not come in small
packages-at least not at American
University, where George Menke is
making noble effort to muster an
eleven for Saturdays opening game
with Randolph Macon. The Eagles
are small physically and scarce nu-
merically, and for the life of him
Menke can find no good in the sit
uation.
How the former Catholic Univer-
sity star will place a starting team
on the field Saturday is a genuine
brain-twister, and how it will per-
form is purely conjectural. Menke
frankly expects the worst, and one
good look at his squad confirms
his black suspicious. Hope of win
ming the game has all but been
abandoned, and the Eagle staff is
directing its efforts to protecting
the players. If there are too many
injuries it may be necessary to halt
the game prematurely or continue
with Y men.
Good Six-Man Squad.
Munching a blade of grass and
gazing forlornly at his skeleton
squad in practice yesterday Menke
suggested the possibility of asking
the visitors to withdraw men as his
are injured to help keep the scale
balanced.
1T might end up in a six-man
football game" he grinned, but
that's the only solution I see to
the problem" His fears are found
ed on the fact that full strength
of the squad is 20 men. Yesterday 16
reported for practice. Tomorrow
there may be only 12-that's the
way it goes.
Education interferes too much
with football at this school," Menke
smiled. Our boys 60 out for the
glee club, the band, and some at
tend classes at the graduate school
downtown three afternoons week.
That means, of course, they can't
practice. And If they can't prac-
tice-well, heaven knows they need
all they can get"
Mr.. Menke's assistant, Joey Kauf-
man, lately of George Washington,
wanted to know If it would be all
right to practice kickoffs. There is
a rumor around that kaufman will
pop up In an Eagle uniform Sat-
urday if too many Eagles are wound

Intracity series sometimes will
show an edge for the National
League, as in the recent Chicago
civil war. But over the years, in
all-star games. city series and world
series, the bulge is with the league
they used to call Ban Johnsons

you how big bulge it is.
In the fourth game of the world
series in 1899, Harry Craft. Gin
cinnati center fielder, after tying
the record for strikeouts in a four
game affair, withdrew from the
lineup. The announcer said, Graft
has an upset stomach"
Can you imagine an announce
ment like that?" demanded frankie
Frisch. Holy smoke, why don't
they say he's got a broken toe, or
something's"
It was an unhappy phrase, for it
seemed to sum up the feelings of all
the Reds. Actually, Craft did not
quit. He had real trouble, and it
hurt his play and made him use
less in the batting order, so he was
wise to report it and yank himself
from the game. But the whole Red
team was hit in that same spot, in

sight of those casual Yankee wal
lops to hellangone.
That's not the exception in the

National League Hits
Harsh Minor Chord
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, Oct. II (N.A.N.A).-
This is no time to bring up the an
cient argument of National League
VS.. American League. The National
Leaguers are stunned and brow
beaten, but they still have breath
in their lungs to yell, 1T amt the
American League. It's those blank
blank blank blank Yankees!"
Until a new style of schedule is
arranged which will pit American
League clubs against National
League clubs over something ap-
preaching a full season of play,
there will be no way of convincing
these last-ditch Desmonds that
they're with and in the wrong
league. And maybe, by the time they
do arrange joint schedule, the Ma
tional League will have caught up.
That's planting my alibi for 1945.
But right now-well, the Cincin-
natl Reds are a good National
League team, the best that Ford
Christopher Frick, president of
what some of the boys call the Sc
nile circuit, has been able to put
on the field since 1884. A lot of
National Leaguers who have seen
the Yankees were disposed to pick
the Reds.

Unsoundness Of Reds
Beots Derrinqer

They're h'ble to win" said Mr..
Lippy Leo Durocher, never at a
loss for a statement on any sub
ject
watch 'em co. said Mr.. Laugh
ing Larry McPhail. This is no
one-league country"
Frank Frisch gave the Reds a
chance, and so did Ray Blades and
many of the National League play
erS.
Well, they should have won one
game. They had a great pitcher,
the best in the series, working the
first and fourth games, Paul Der
ringer, and hard luck beat him. Or
did it? What beat him, actually,
was the fundamental soundness of
the Yankees and the fundamental
unsoundness of the Reds.
There are three Red players who
might make the Yankee team-Der-
ringer, Mccormack and Walters.
And Walters might not. There's
some question as to whether his
particular equipment, tough for
those National League ground ball
hitters, would win in the American
League.
So Cincinnati, best National
League team in five years, was hope
lessly outclassed. Once again the
Frick chorus shouts, 1T amt the
league. It's those Yankees"
Evening star., 1939-10-11
Those Long Home Runs
Got on Reds Nerves

I doubt if that's true. What hit
the Reds hardest, what destroyed
their hope and their confidence,
were those long fy-ball home runs
which kept dropping into the stands
and the nearby streets with the
regularity of time bombs. They'd
seen nothing like that before. They
thought they had a good-sized park,
a tough park for hitters. None of
their own men was able to reach the
walls in this series.
That's Yankee power? Friends,
there are five clubs in the American
League which can molest those
bleacher-sitter and those pedes-
trians, and do it all day long. If
that's what it took to demoralize the
Reds this fall, to shake the nerves
Of Myers and Frey and reduce Lom-
bardi to lethargic despair, there are
several of Mr.. Will Harridge's out
fits which could have done the job.
The American League buys and
develops long hitters, while the
National Leaguers comb the woods
for fancy third basemen. And the
funny thing is, the American Leag-
uers get the fancy third basemen.
And the fast runners and outfield-
ers. And the pitchers. A pitcher
who faces those long hitters all
year must have stuff, though the
National League pitchers show gau-
dier records for the season, in some
cases, because they work in an or
ganization where long hitters are
rare,
