Mony Fons Overlook Fact
'Thot Conn Is Only ~

"Too many overlook the fact that
Bill Conn is only % years old. They
have been looking at a kid, just
starting to grow up and be de-
veloped properly. From 81 or %
years on a good athlete, especially
a boxer, just begins to find himself.
1--WE seen a good deal of Conn's
workouts lately and I've watched
him getting better every week. I
believe he will outlook Pastor and
show an even better punch than
Pastor carries"
The race still is under way in
locating the next Joe Louis chal-
lenger.
Both Conn and Pastor will need
an enlarged display of wares to
reach this goal.
Either Pat Comiskey or Max Baer
may crowd into the now completely
vacant spot later on this month.
Comiskey still is raw but the best
puncher in his division, next to
Louis. Like Conn, big Comiskey
needs more schooling before he is
ready for any Louis collision, but
If he can manhandle Max Baer we
may have part of the answer.
Why not match the winner of the
Conn-Pastor party with the winner
of the Baer-Comiskey roundup?
This seems to be the only sane
method of finding a drawing card,
which is about SO per cent of the
answer. Maybe 1o2 per cent of the
answer.
But sane methods rarely have any
place In this battling game.

Never a Grid Power,
Riders Now Show
Winning Spirit
Coach Boyd Must Build
Entire Forward Wall;
Veterans All Books
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Roosevelt High School, formerly
old Business High, never has been
much of a scholastic football power.
Recently, though, there have been
undercurrents of gridiron excite
ment, perhaps an awakening that
will raise Roosevelt's team to d par
with the stronger schoolboy outfits
in Washington.
Roosevelt's football star plainly Is
in the ascendant. The change has
been gradual ever since students
left the old school down on Rhode
Island avenue in 1888 and moved to
the new and larger plant at Thir-
tenth and Upshur streets.
Attracts Better Material.
After seven years in the new To-
cation, with training facilities and
playing games in its own stadium,
Roosevelt is beginning to attract
boys able to play football and other
sports as well. 1t still doesn't have
the big squads that turn out at
oOlllC VI Vic OIllCl oSliOOloy Wv tAANhS
has been a definite increase In
numbers and class.
In the first six years at the new
school Roosevelt won only one foot
ball game. That was in 1887 when
it defeated Wilson. Last year, how
ever, under Coach Artie Boyd the
Rough Riders perked up, winning
from Anacostia and Wilson. Those
victories gave them just the needed
incentive and this week squad Of S.
candidates turned out when prac-
tice opened.
Even though he must start from
scratch, with only four of last years
lettermen returning, Boyd definitely
is optimistic over prospects. VIM
ming spirit is in evidence and work.
outs are spirited.
Rider Schedule Sitter.
The schedule is tougher this sea-
son than last. With five games on
the card in 1899 it was possible to
win two, but with only four inter-
high games to play this season it
will be a task to match the 1889
record. Yet Coach Boyd believes
it can be done and even has hopes
of winning three. In preseason
ratings, though, Roosevelt will be
favored to take only one game, that
with Wilson. Otherwise, it must
meet Western, champion last year:
Central, runnerup in the Western
division, and Eastern, the Eastern
section winner. 1t probably is the
stiffest program faced by any of
the public school teams.
Of Roosevelt's four returning let
termen, three are in the backfield,
which means that Boyd must find
practically a whole new line. Mar
vim Kogod, tackle, is the only really
experienced boy in the forward
wall. If Boyd can knit a good line
he might have a team with scoring
punch built around Capt Bernie
Kolker, Les Wicklein and Irwin
Breier, his backfield lettermen. He
is confident 1t can be done.

Pastor Equipped Better
Thon Foe. Soys Gene

pastor is no package of pure
O., dynamite" Gene said, but he is
more experienced in the heavyweight
game. Twenty-one rounds with Joe
Louis Is a much rougher school than
Conn has known. Pastor is equipped
better physically to take a punch.
He proved that in Detroit when he
kept getting up from the floor
against Joe Louis to extend the
fight eight or nine rounds longer
than I thought he would last after
the first round was over.
Conn may be too fast and too
clever for Pastor, but I doubt it
Judging Conn only from those fights
in which I saw him work"
Ten minutes later ran into Ed
die Hart, the former Princeton Tiger
star, who specializes in the leather
trade as an interested observer.
Eddie, one of the great tackles OF all
time and certainly one of the strong
est, slips his vote to Conn.
Conn is on the way up" Hart
says, land Pastor isn't. Conn is
faster and a better boxer. You
might also add that Conn has i'm
proved tremendously in the last six
months. He is stronger than he was
and a better puncher.

New Green Makes Columbia 21-Hole Course
Two Have Pair Of Carpets Each ond One to Have Three

at Columbia.
They don't make many changes
on that golf course which hap
pens to be the only one around
Washington over which major
U. S. G. A. championship has
been staged in recent years. BUT
when they do make them they are
made to stay. Most recent Of the
changes is in the second hole,
where a new tee stretches that
heretofore easy hole into a
tough par 4 affair. Now they
are talking about a new green
for the sixth hole, to be built on
the location of the present green.
The sixth happens to be the
toughest of the course, and If they
build q new elevated green 1t
will be even tougher.

Smiths Win Over Lynch
CompIicotes Rating
Of Several Players

They may yet have to fall back
on ouija board to figure out the
District mems net rankings for the
season if the boys continue to bump
of one another without due regard
to position.
Yesterday whatever illusions the
Rankings Committee had that the
current Recreational tournament
would help restore order were COM
pleteN shattered by Alphonso
Smith, who eliminated Hugh Lynch
in straight sets, ga, 60. Not ex-
actly startling, because AL has done
it before, but that doesn't help the
committee.
Big Job for Committee.
Lynch is the gent who threw a
b0mbshell into the little tennis COL
ony by rubbing out Davey johnson
in the District mems tourname Mt.
This was after Johnsen's triumph
over Barney Welsh in the Middle
Atlantic. TO make the knot harder
to unite, Smith proceeded to get
himself beaten by lii Davey.
Smith, defending champion in the
Recreational party, qualified for the
final next Wednesday in which he'll
tangle with Welsh.
Smith and Dick Murphy won two
doubles matches to reach the final
in that division and will battle
Welsh and Lynch, who ousted
Threadgill and Willis in their semi
final match.

Have you ever heard of q 90
hole golf course?
1t isn't in any of the books
about golf, but the Columbia
Country Club has it. And it may
be that next spring Columbia
will be the only course in this
area with 81 green's, all of which
more or less regularly are used.
1t comes about because Column
bia at present has two greens for
two separate holes. Several years
ago a new green for the first hole
was built on a hill top about so
yards away from the old first
green. 1t is in occasional use
when the greenskeeper wants to
give the regular green a rest.
And it takes two good shots to
get on that alternate green.

Roosevelt High Looking Up Football Though Few Victories Are Expected
Zuppke Still Firm
For Grid HuddIe

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Sept. 6 up.
Bob zuppke, who first intro
duced the huddle into modern
football in 1919, differs sharply
with those who think that the
quarterback can do better job
by barking signals from behind
the scrimmage line.
Signal calling at the line of
scrimmage does not make for
better quarterbacking because
the defense can shadow its posi-
tons while the quarterback is
looking over their alignment"
zuppke said.
THE huddle simplifies signals"
zuppke continued, because the
quarterback can call plays by
simple numbers instead of s. COM
plicated set"
