MtCANN MEETS MURPHY HERE
 NEXT WEEKEND
Weaver Lines Up Good Card for A. B. Rink
 Brown in Semi-FinaI

A week from Saturday, Billy Me Cam will give Eddie Murphy anoth- CT chance to take the Welter belt, headlining the boxing card sched- uled for the A. B. Rink on the 18th.
 McCann knocked Murphy out in the ninth round Of their first bat tie Murphy says it will be a dif- ferent story this time, and McCann counters with the boast he will put Murphy away early in the fight.
 It will be a different fight this time That much is certain Mur- phy knows he must punish McCann early. McCann, by the same token, doesn't care to box full fight. He has to fight his toughest battle of his Alaska career in Sitka against McGraw cn November 20, so it's a good bet Billy will not spar with Murphy this time as he did before, but will g0 in hammer and tongs as he did with Sammy Nelson.
 Austin Brown, classy 155 pound youngster will go with John Belt ram in the semi-final It should be a good battle and the odds are slightly in Browns favor, although Beltram packs a wallop that hurts.
 The rest of the card shows promise of lot of fisticuffs. Promoter Slug ger Weaver says it is a swell" card and it does look that way.

Orioles Blast Newark,
81, in First Game
Of PIayoff Final

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. "a Up.-
When the Baltimore Orioles are
hitting they can put the same kind
Of pressure on opposing pitchers that
the Yankees used to use in their
marches to the world championship.
And their warmup against the
Rochester Red Wings In the first
round of the International League
playoffs seems to have been just
what the Orioles needed for their
raids on Newark pitching in the
Governors Cup finals.
Young Steve Peek, who had won
II consecutive games for the Bears,
couldn't stand up under the pressure
last night in the first game Of the
best-of- seven final series. He was
blasted for nine hits in SIS innings
and the Bears took q So drubbing.
Tonight's second game at Newark
sends Newark's George Washburn
against Orlin Collier on the hill and
this time the pressure may be on the
Orioles.

Navy Has Great Back
In Young Busik, Says

Bill Busik will bear watching in
the Navy back1eld this season.
Authority for that is Keith Moles-
worth, Navy backfeld coach, who
was one of the guest coaches at yes
terday's luncheon meeting of the
Football Writers Association.
"Busik,' said Wordsworth, could
be the best back we've had at Navy
since Buzz Berries in 1885. I think
he'll come through for U.s." The
backf1eld coach also praised Jack
Hagerty's Georgetown team which
scrimmaged Navy last week, al
though his views were not shared
entirely by Hagerty, who also was
present yesterday.
Following Wordsworth as a speaker
was Frank Dobbie) Dobson, former
Maryland coach who now is at the
Navy Appretice School at Newport
News. Dobbie, always one to say
something unusual. ran true to form
when he invited the writer's to visit
his plant at Newport News and see
a place where football gets its true
rating and is very unimportant

Navy as Good as Last
Year, al Least, Says
Coach Larson
Eight Letter Men, Three
sophs Due to stort
Against w. and M.
BY DAVE HOPPER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Sept. "a
Maj. Emery E. (Swede) Larson, the
genial marine who handles Nays
football fortunes, looked over his
wealth Of material today and opined
that the Middies might have a
pretty good team this year.
Our team is shaping up and, bar
ring injuries, we will be at least as
strong as last year." Nays head
Coach said. THE spirit and atti-
tude Of the squad are the best
have seen yet. There is no petty
jealousy among the players and the
squad is determined to play good
ball"
It's Just as well the Middies have
that determination. They're likely
to need 1t for a nine-game schedule,
opening here Saturday with William
and Mary and then putting them
against Cincinnati, Princeton, Drake,
Yale, Pennsylvania, Notre Dame,
Columbia and Army.
Backs Heavy and Fleet.
The team that Larson probably
will start against William and Mary
is composed Of three seniors, five
juniors and three sophomores. There
are eight lettermen on this eleven
averaging 1881 pounds. The backs,
as fast and heavy as any Navy has
had In years, average 1870 pounds.
Here is how the team lines up:
Capt. Dick Foster and Bill Mont
gomery. ends; Ken Steen and Dick
Opp. tackles; Vito Vitucci and Joe
Sliwka, guards; Ed Sims. center;
John Harrell, quarterback; Bill
Busik, left half; Phil Cutting, right
half, and Cliff LEM. fullback.
Larson is counting heavily on the
three sophomores-Busik, Harrell
and Vitucci, they showed plenty of
stun in a scrimmage with George
town last Saturday and If they only
perform as we'll under the pressure
Of an actual game, Larson won't
have much to worry about.
Busik to Call Signals.
Busik, a 185-pounder from Pasa-
dena, Calf, is slated to do the sig
nal calling. punting, passing and
most of the outside running The
6-foot, 202-pound Harrell, who halls
from Ardmore, Okla, will call the
plays only when Busik is on the side
lines. Vitucci, 200 pounds of Drawn
from Brooklyn. beat out a veteran
for right guard.
What Navy needs most Of all is
a good climax runner who can lug
the leather across the line when a
quick score is needed Larson may
find him in HOWE Clark. 148-pound
mite from San Pedro. Calf, who
sparkled in the Georgetown scrim-
mage.

when Gen. D. c. Shanks cracked
the whip, will stage 4 tournament
next week. In at least one way 1t
will be q novel affair, for the seniors
may designate their own handicaps.
The tourney will open at am.
September %, and will end at pm.
October 6. The player with the
lowest net score for So holes will be
the club senior champion and will
have his name on the Morven
Thompson Cup, presented in honor
of the former greens chairman at
Chevy Chase.
Play will be in three classes, from
S. to so, from so to IS. from IS to
10 and 70 and over. A special class
will be set aside for those wishing
to play two rounds of only nine
holes each.
Base Handbags on IS.
The handicap base will be 70, and
players will chose their handicaps
based on their average score against
70. p. S. Ridsdale heads the COM
mittee In charge, with E. o. Wagon
horst as treasurer and William F.
Ham as adviser. All are prominent
senior golfers at Chevy Chase.
Ten years ago the seniors at
Chevy Chase had q strong organi-
cation with q large membership and
. group of good golfers. Some Of
the better players were Gen. R. H
Allen, Admiral C. B. McVay, P. s.
Ridsdale and Gen. Shanks. But
Gen. Shanks, who headed the COM
mittee in charge. dropped out. and
soon after that senior events
stopped. The present committee
hopes to revive the days Of the old
Senior Golf Association. which held
several tournaments each season. If
enough interest is manifested in the
affairs a series Of Journeys will be
played each year.
G. F. Ralston, Jr., Makes Ace.
The reason George F. Ralston, jr.,
is going around the Willard these
days with his chest stuck out is on
account of a hole in one he made
at the Bayside Golf Club. Flushing,
Long Island, a few days ago. George
is assistant manager Of the Willard
and plays at the Washington Golf
and Country Club.
The bank of the ditch at the
eleventh green at the Washington
club must have a dense golf ball
population. Comdr. j. S. Phillips OF
Army Navy hit his tee shot into
the ditch, and the ball buried in the
bank. He played the embedded ball
and uncovered another ball, which
probably had been buried for q
decade or more in the bank.
