Vet Is Cinch 10 Gain
q Needed 10 Pass
Cliffs Record
205-Pound Powerhouse
Is Ruted Greatest
Spinner on Grid
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

The Redskins today boast the best
defensive record in the National
Football League-the best by a wide
margin. In two games, enemy backs
have gained only 245 yards against
the Indians, an average of 122A
yards per game Even the undefeat-
ed, united Detroit Lions have yielded
more ground, 800 yards in two games
to be exact.
So 1t seems ironic that, barring a
feat comparable to no-hit game in
baseball, the all-time record of the
most illustrious Redskins ever will
be broken here Sunday by a fullback
who will run through the Redskins
defense to a new ground-gaining
mark.
In six years as a Redskin, Cliff
Battles rushed the ball 1898 yards.
But Ace Gutowsky, 205-pound pow
erhouse fullback playing his first
season with the Brooklyn Dodgers,
is only q yards shy of Battles total
yardage and it's highly probably he'll
get at least that many Sunday.
Averages 80 Yards a Try.
The ACE" as hard a running back
as the Redskins faced last year when
he was with the Detroit Lions, has
averaged 38 yards a try during the
seven years he has been In the
league. There are some who say that
Gutowsky, a product of Oklahoma
City University, is the greatest spin
ner back in football today. He's a
harder running back than Tuf1y
Leemans, and when you consider
that Tuffy gained Al of the Giants
II yards against the Redskins, you
see the danger to Battles record.
Incidentally, it seems that Gutow-
sky has followed his present coach,
Potsy Clark, throughout his pro-
fessional football career. Ace made
his play-for-pay start in 1882 with
the Portsmouth Spartans, coached
by Clark, When Potsy got the
coaching job at Detroit Gutowsky
went with him to start on the
way to becoming one of the leagues
outstanding fullbacks Two, years
ago Clark shifted to Brooklyn and
last winter negotiated trade
whereby Gutowsky Joined him.
Came to United States as Infant.
Gutowsky is of Polish extraction
and was born in Russia. He was
brought to America when weeks
old and grew up In Kingflsher,
Okla, where he learned to play
football on the sandlots.
He is one of the only two "old"
men on the Brooklyn team and yet,
like Beattie Feathers, is only 20.
Feathers, incidentally, still holds
the all-time groundgaining record
for single season, accounting for
1904 yards as a Chicago Bear in
1884, his first year as a pro. Battles
came closest to matching that with
874 yards during the Redskins first
year in Washington.
Even with Gutowsky and Feath-
ers, the Dodgers average only 23A
years Of age and the team, as a
whole. has little more than a years
experience as National Leaguers.
The Redskins ordinarily are con-
sidered a young team themselves,
but their two "old" men, Turk Ed
wards and Erny Pinckert, send their
average age to nearly rs. Edwards
is 80, Pinckert 81.

Winner al Last Over
Eastern, Gonzaga
Sees Jinx Dead
Triumph by 7-6 Follows
Four Years of Defeat
By Lincoln Purkers
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Lifted to eXhlllratlng heights by
his teams 7-to-6 victory over East
ern High School yesterday, Coach
Orrel Mitchell of Gonzaga today was
convinced that a 4-year jinx was in
rout.
The 'hoodoo helped Eastern enter
yesterdays game with a record of
four straight over the Purple, in
cluding two heartbreakers in the
last two years.
In 1887 both schools had out
standing teams, Eastern winning the
inter-high championship and Con-
zaga, with one of the best outfits in
its history, the parochial school
championship from ST. Johns.
Mistake Is Costly.
The statistics of the game showed
Mitchell's men apparently superior,
but slight mistake by Jim Shaw
lost the game. With a touchdown a
cinch, Jim dove over what he
thought was the goal line only to
find that it was the 5-yard line, an
error that prevented a tie and pos
sibly victory.
Last year Gonzaga again won the
statistical part of the game but lost
7 to 6. Mitchell was beginning to
think the same thing was going to
happen yesterday, for he watched his
boys roll up 13 first downs to East
ern's 4, gain 14l yards by rushing to
their opponents 63 and complete
seven passes to the Lincoln Parkers'
one. And this with Mike Kelleys
boys holding a 6-to-0 lead.
ODonnell Blocks Kick.
However, with less than five min
utes left Gonzaga's veteran tackle,
Lane ODonnell blocked an Eastern
kick in the shadow of Eastern's goal
and then the Purple began to click.
Elmer Raba, sensational sophomore
back, whom Mitchell calls one of the
finest high school players he ever
has seen, went through right tackle
to knot the count. Frank Scully
crossed up Eastern by rushing over
the extra point.
Near the end of the third quarter
Eastern took the lead on a neat
lateral, Buddy Yocum to Francis
Hallama. Although he reported for
practice only a short time ago fol-
lowing hospital siege. Hallama
stood out for the Blue and White.
Eastern missed a score in the
second quarter when Paul Collill ran
48 yards around left end only to
have the ball called back on a hold
ing penalty.

five times as good as they appeared
to be with their old coach, Jock
Sutherland, and with 10 veterans
missing. Their running and pass
ing attack against Washington,
good team, was the best of the day.
While Fordham and Carnegie Tech
were rated the two best teams in

have plenty, as number of strong
rivals will discover later on.

These are about the eight hardest
picks, selections, guesses or propn-
ecies. Fordham and Alabama will
be a head-on clash, one of the big
games of the year. Frank Thomas
always has smart, well-coached
teams who never quit This should
be extremely close with Fordham's
backfeld speed given the call, pro-
vided the Ram can put on a first
class passing attack.
Cornell and Syracuse, Yale and
Columbia are the next two most
elusive selections.
Cornell and Syracuse, ably han
died by Ossie Solem and Carl
Snavely, are among the better teams
of the year. Cornell should lead
the Ivy Parade again. I'll take
the home team here-the Big Red
from Cayuga's waters.
Columbia has slim margin over
Yale with a better backfleld. The
two lines are about the same. Both
teams are somewhat green. But I
like the Lion backs over the ball
carriers in darker blue.
