Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-11-16
Stevens Coils Hoyos InvincibIe;
B. G. Unbeatable, Says Kopf

Here's one pre-game angle. MAI
Stevens, whose N. Y. U. team has
gone against Georgetown, told me {:
II don't see how any one can beat
them" Herb Kopf's Manhattan
team has played Boston College.
II don't believe anybody can beat
this team" Herb says.
No wonder, under these circum-
stances, that Boston, which isn't
tilted easily out of balance, is what
you might call agog over her big
party.
There is a general feeling around
the pro football map that neither
the Redskins nor the Bears are
strong enough to whip the other
team twice in row.
Whoever wins in Washington on
Sunday is likely to lose the cham
pionship game later on, if the same
pair meet. It's hard game to pick,
as Sammy Baugh always is factor.
The Bears have the better running
attack, the best in football so far as
speed and power is concerned. But
stopping Baugh is another matter
when he begins to get holland he
has been on fire all this year.
Speed and Drive Will Beet
Skins, Says Dell lsolo
Johnny Dell Isola of the Giants
likes the Bears over the Redskins.
THE combination of their running
speed and driving power is ter
rife" he said. "It's like trying to
stop q mixture of army tanks and
motorcycles.
Roger Peckinpaugh, the new
Cleveland leader, is too smart and
too experienced to start any new
season with the spirit Of revolt
churning the hearts Of his stars.
Last spring, we'll before the revolt
against Witt, we wrote piece say
ing their were too many bad actors
on the Cleveland club for any pen
nant success. We knew Of four at
that time who were about as easy
to handle as four tigers, outside the
cage.
Peck may have to pull a Joe Nc
Carthy and chase out some of the
disgruntled ones. Joe never has
seen a ball player good enough to
be a disturber. The Yankee mana
ger promptly shows the way to the
exit.
Looking at the Tiger infield and
the condition of the Yankee pitch
ing staff, Cleveland should be in
q neat spot next spring under Peck's
direction.
Sees Georeetown-B. c. Winner
As Rose Bowl Moteriol
whats the matter with picking
the winner of the Boston College
Georgetown game for a Rose Bowl
choice?" asks r. L. H. "How many
would bet even money that Ten
nessee or Texas A. and M. could
beat either? The first two also are
from the East, not from the South
and Southwest, which have been
taking over most of the Rose Bowl
programs lately"
The answer is that it will be STAN
3ord-or other West Coast winner
which will look after the selecting
and the inviting. AS long as the
Rose Bowl can offer 10000 seats at
$40 each it will have the Jump
along strictly financial lines, If not
on football talent and skill
AS things now stand. Texas A.
and M, Tennessee, Boston College
and Georgetown-not overlooking
Fordham-all are placed nicely in
bowl settings. No one can question
the fact that Boston College and
Georgetown are both as good as
they come.
But the tip I get from the West
Coast. Is that either Texas A. and M.
or Tennessee will get the Far West
ern call, if both get safely by. That
still leaves just as many good teams
for the other bowls.
Certainly the loser in the Boston
College-Georgetown game shouldn't
be eliminated, any more than Ford
ham should-provided any of these
teams care to take a sun bath In
their vacation time.
