UPSET LOOMS
IN SCALzO BOUT

An upset may result in the
featherweight feature bout tomor-
row night between Pete Scalzo,
new scourge of the division, and
Lew Transparent of Baltimore in
Turner's Arena.
The general run Of feature
bouts for the last several months
may prove no exception.
Scalzo is the odds-on favorite,
but local ring followers remember
not so long ago that Pete dealt
out one of the biggest upsets of
the season when he flattened the
hitherto invincible Joey Archibald
in two rounds. Scalzo in that fight
had about as much chance as
Transparent has tomorrow night.
Just two weeks ago, the little
known AL Mancini came here to
post a terrific upset by winning
nine of 10 rounds to trounce Sixto
Escobar, the worlds champion.
The week before that, Lou Gev-
inSon was on the short end Of the
odds. And what happened? He
blasted Pete Galiano into submiS-
sion. The same sort of thing hap
pened in the Fernando -Yucatan
Kid fight, which the former won
handily.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the preliminary attrac-
tionS with Bob Wilson, former D..
C. welterweight, meeting frankie
Wills over the six-round route.
Sammy La Porte, of Baltimore,
battles Pete Powell, of Newport
News. and Billy Savage, of Balti-
more, takes on John L. Sullivan,

The Washington times., 1939-01-02

which will stand out in the
notoriously long memories of
race-track devotees. Highlight
number one is the phenomenal
money-winning record of Mr..
Maxwell Howard'S stable. Lead
ing all other track establish
mentS for 1898, the Howard
stable took down a total of
$226,495, although his entries
actually won only Is races dur
ing the year. Mr.. Howard'S
Stagehand, which conquered
Seabiscuit in the Santa Anita
Handicap last year, was also
leading money-winner of the
year.
In second place for top money
winning stable was Woolford
Farm, which owns Lawrin, win
ner of the 1888 Kentucky Derby.
Woolford Farms earnings were
$213,550. Considered by all
track dopesters the best horse
of the year by virtue of his win
over War Admiral, Charles S.
Howard's Seabiscuit helped his
owner come in for third place
among money winners with
$195,925.
Yet another highlight of the
year, from the point of view of
the nations bettors, was the
daily double payoff at Bowie
of $6.754.5O on November 16.
Charles F and James Boy was
the lucky combination which
brought in 1885 largest daily
double.
Such are the cold facts and
figures for "PenSioner 1888"
What "Foal 1899" will produce
in the way of prices and per-
formances lies behind the veil
of future track doings. Two
things bear improvement, how
ever. This writer would like to
see hazardous holes, rocks and
treacherous places eliminated on
tracks so that fewer injuries to
riders and mounts will occur.
And if some method of assign
ing jockeys, other than booking
them through agents, could be
worked out, the high incidence
of conspiracy and connivance
at some tracks might be wiped
out.

BLUE, CRAY FACE
AGAIN ON GRID

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan. 2
Q.N.SD.-Blue faced Gray again
today as a team of northern all
stars clashed on the football grid
iron with an all-Star southern
squad in the first intersectional
game of it's kind.
A crowd OF 10000 was predicted
for the inaugural contest, which
is to be turned into an annual
affair.
The teams looked about even in
practice, and the coaches Of the
opposing squads pronounced their
players fit.
The Washington times., 1939-01-02

The eight teams figure closer
than telescOped freight cars in
. rear end collision.
Today makes a great finish for
the last football season and a
greater start for the next. The
rest of the colleges might get
smart and tab their season down
to one game a year and play
that today. With the football
season out of the way the dean
could concentrate on botany,
split infinitiveS and cable chess
matches.
Any game today will grab the
certified bOffOs and help pay the
mortgage on the rOOfleSS labOra-
tory. California attracts plenty
Of customers. The team has
been flattened twice this season.
But beat those eggs a couple of
times and they bake you a cake.
There is talk about snow in
Pasadena to help Duke win.
You might think that when
things get tough the Dukes eat
their sledge dogs. We still
claim Duke would have won
that game with Pittsburgh if
1t had been raining rose petals.
And it may be doing that today.

D. C. QUINTETS
OPEN new YEAR
WITH ROAD TRIP
BY CHICK KENNY

Starting Wednesday night on
foreign basketball floors, the Dis
trict collegiate sports whirl moves
into a new year.
Georgetown and Maryland In
augurate the new season, playing
in New York and Philadelphia,
respectively. Then on Saturday
George Washington, Catholic UNI
versity and Gallaudet, along with
Maryland, climax the weeks
activity with stirring action.
Georgetown, undefeated in It's
three pre-holiday games, moves
into Madison Square Garden for
it's annual battle with New York
U. The game Is part of the
double header attraction arranged
by Ned Irish, and featuring m
the nightcap, Kentucky and Long
Island University. Il
Maryland inaugurates the UfA-
versity of Pennsylvania cage sear
son in the Quakers' famed Pa
lestra. The Terrapins likewise con-
tinue their play on the road,
stacking up against Army at West
Point Saturday afternoon.
C. u. PLAYS HERE
Catholic University alone holds
the local court spotlight this week,
entertaining st. Francis College
in the Brookland gym, while Geo
washington plays Roanoke in Vir"
ginia and Gallaudet travels to
meet the Elizabethtown Teachers
in Pennsylvania.
Considerable interest is attached
to the Georgetown quintet, which
is believed to be one of the
strongest units in the East. and
perfectly capable of holding its
own against the Violets or any
other team for that matter. Vic
tory for the HoyaS in Gotham
would be the first in q number
of seasons, and pending a triumph
over Fordham later on in the
campaign, and winning the East
ern Conference, would virtually
tag the local quintet for an in
vitation to the big basketball
tournament conducted by the
Basketball Writers Association in
the Garden in March.
Coach Elmer Ripley probably
will start Capt. Joe Murphy, Ed
Kurtyka, John Schmidt and his
two sophomores, Johnny MCGOWAN
and Irving RiZZi, against N. Y. U.
TERPs HAVE POWER
Should Maryland show the same
kind of fight that it did against
Clemson and The Citadel In pre-
holiday tiffs, don't be surprised to
see it overtake Penn. Since last
Thursday, the Terp dribblers have
been practicing faithfully. and
Coach Bert Shipley believes now
that he has unearthed the right
combination for Wednesdays en-
counter. In all probability he will
start Adam Bengoechea and
George De Witt at forwards; Eddie
johnson at center, and Capt.
George Knepley and Pershing
Mondorff at the guard posts. Penn
finished in tie for second place in
the Eastern intercollegiate Basket
ball League with Harvard last
year. 1t will be up to the Terps
to hold back Tony Mischo, sharp
shooter Of the team, and Norman
Retchin, who played a spell at Wis
consin before transferring to the
Quaker institution.
Maryland will get some idea as
to what it can expect at West
Point Saturday, from the score
of the Brown-Army game to be
played Wednesday afternoon.
Brown is undefeated to date, while
the Cadets have yet to play a
game.
Navy gets going Saturday after.

against Gettysburg.

Weather Ideal
In Sun BOWl

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 2 G.N.S0.
Ideal conditions held good today
for the fourth annual Sun Bowl
game, featuring the Utah Utes,
champions of the big seven, and
the New Mexico Lobos, co-titlists
of the border conference.
The Lobos will be fighting to
redeem their conferences honor,
badly tarnished by two losses and
a tie. Nevertheless, the Salt Lake
City club was conceded a slight
edge by impartial sideline observ-
ers.
1t will be a typical North-vs.-
South football contest, since Utah
clings to the powerhouse attack
system popularized in the games
infancy, while New Mexico is an
exponent of the streamlined South
western style of open play, featur-
ing plenty Of passes.

NOTRE DAME
ONCE PLAYED
IN ROSE BOWL
This is the last of series of
articles on the birth and de-
Uelopnlent of Rose BotUl gGn1eSJ.
BY LEWIS BURTON

Notre Dame played in the Rose
Bowl only once, battling its way to
a victory that will remain memor-
able for a variety Of reasons. It
was a match of the Four Horse
men Of Notre Dame against Ernie
Nevers of Stanford-the greatest
backfield against possibly the
greatest back. 1t was Knute Rock
ne'S only Rose Bowl venture. And,
above all, it was a whale of game.
Appropriately enough, Elmer
Layden, the man who now coaches
the Fighting Irish, was the hero
that New Year Day in 1925. J y.
tden scored three touchdownS. He
intercepted two of Nevers' passes
and raced 70 and 40 yards to score,
and anoth er time he climaxed
75-yard march by crashing the last
two yards over the line.
LAYDEN AT FULLBACK
Layden was fullback. Jimmy
Crowley, the Fordham coach, was
right halfback and kicked three
points after touchdown as his con-
tribution to the 27-to-1O score
Harry Stuhldreher, the Wisconsin
coach, was quarterback. Don Mil
Ter, an attorney now, was left half.
Rockne had a pretty good sec
ond team that has been lost in the
shuttle of time. He used the shock
troop system and sent out his re-
serve backfield to start the game.
That was the break Stanford want
ed, and it blaZed, away after the
first exchange of kicks on a S.
yard advance from it's own 20 to
the Irish 25. There tumble and
a 15-yard penalty raised havoc
, with it's touchdown chances, and
Cuddeback kicked a field goal for
the Indians.
ENTER -FOUR HORSEMEN"
No longer having reason to save
his regulars, Rockne sent the -Four
Horsemen galloping off the bench
cSAAA bAACJ 0O OAANC 0A11CooCN q ACVao-
tating attack. It took them rs
yards from the first period to the
second and wound up over the goal
line with Layden's plunge doing
the trick.
Battling against the watch
late in the second quarter,
Nevers tried a forward pass to
Ted Shipkey, StandfOrd's great
end, but Layden saw it coming.
His long arms upStretched, he
leaped high into the air, hauled
down the ball, and with his
Sprinter'S speed dashed off on
his 7O-yard touchdown canter.
The bleak outlook for Stanford
became even worse in the third
quarter. Moe Solomon, Stanford
quarterback, fumbled a snap from
center on his own 20. Instead of
pouncing on the ball and curling
Mp with it, he tried bending over
and picking it up. To Ed Hun
} singer, Notre Dame end, this was
like q waving red flag in front
, of bull. He charged into Solo
mon, bowled him down, picked up
the ball and raced the intervening
40 yards to the goal.
