Grid Dodgers So Hot,
Skins Must Speed
Work for Start
ssFsp 49, -ek1,<-,
Fluherty Hopes AlI-Eost
Tilt Viii Prep Charges Z,
For Sunday Frey
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.,
Star Staff Correspondent.

BOSTON, Sept. 9.-Visibly i'm
pressed by the improvement which
he noted in two of the Redskins
Eastern rivals whom he secuted
Saturday night and yesterday, Coach
Ray Flaherty prepared to crack the
whip in earnest today with only
five practice sessions remaining
before the Indians open their Ma
tional League season in Washington.
Not knowing quite what to ex-
pect from the Eastern College ALL
Stars in tomorrow nights exhibition
here, Flaherty hopes to take the
last preseason game in stride with
out losing perspective on the
difficult and more important tasks
ahead The only bits of informa ton
the Redskins can CLEAN about their
immediate opposition is that it will
not be quite the same group which
surprised the Giants in New York
last Thursday.
Saw Dodgers Play.
But about the Brooklyn Dodgers,
who help the Skins pry off the
official lid in the Capital next Sum
day, Flaherty knows plenty, for
he was among those who saw Jock
Sutherland's first pro team pile up
five touchdowns in an exhibition
game at Hershey, Pa, Saturday eve
ming. According to Ray, the
Brooklyns no longer are to be taken
lightly.
Banks McFadden and George
Dad News Cafego, all-Americans
from Clemson and Tennessee, re-
spectively, have provided the
Dodgers with a punch they didn't
have last year when the Redskins
walloped them twice, Alb and
42-0. And, with the canny Suther-
land at the helm, they can be ex-
pected to be better all-around
team.
The Steelers, to be sure, were held
to TT tie by Jimmy Conzlemans
Chicago Cardinals in the league
opener yesterday, but they hold a
1919 decision over the powerful
Chicago Bears and must be rated
at least so per cent better than
last year. AS a matter of fact, it
appears that the Eastern teams are
so much more evenly matched that
1t Is hardly likely that this sections
eventual winner will have lost less
than three games. Last year the
Giants won with only one defeat
against them and in '38 were de-
feated but twice.
Will Get New Plays.
So 1t was with a determination
to have his players as prepared and
advanced as possible that Flaherty
opened the last week of preseason
practice here this afternoon. In
addition to perfecting plays now in
their repertoire, the Skins will be
given several new plays before Sun
day rolls around and they will be
expected to be proficient in all
Although Flaherty feels an i'm
provement in their timing was
made during last weeks practice
in Washington, he won't know def
initely until he sees his players in
actual combat Thus, he welcomes
tomorrow nights contest. He also
believes that his pass defense is
better, but this, too, awaits confrma-
ton here. Last year, the Eastern
AlI-Stars did little except throw
passes, so perhaps Rays curiosity
will be more than satisfied.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. Coach
Jimmy Councilman, making the
plunge from college to professional
football after eight seasons at WASH
ington University of st. Louis, at
least can claim a moral victory il
his first time out.
His Chicago Cardinals had to come
from behind to deadlock the Pitts

but Conzelman's crew swept most OF
the statistical advantages.

The Cards counted up nine first
downs to only three for the Steelers,
gained lie yards rushing to IS, added
1913 from passes to 81 and from all

And they did it for the most part
without the services of the Wanted

Shows for Battle
National City League
Prexy q Solomon, but
Appears Illegal

No sooner are National City
League affairs going smoothly again
than Prexy Vic Gauzza pops up
with a new-fangled system of tabu-
lating team standings to create a
little excitement for the boys. Judge
Lands hasn't heard of Signor
Gauzza's idea, but when news of it
reaches Chicago it's 100-to-1 he de-
clares it illegal
Gauzza has discarded the ancient
and honorable system of employing
round figures and has gone in for
fractions. Thus far he has managed
to confine himself to halves, but op-
ponents of the scheme are fearful
lest it spread to the use of quarters
and even eighths. Vic says halves
are the limit and adds that he has
good reason for using them.
"You see," he points out, when a
team fails to place nine men on the
field its opponent automatically gets
a forfeit which counts as a game
won in standings. But this par
ticular day neither team had nine
men-only eight, so I had to do
something. I couldn't give either a
forfeit, that is a full game, so I
though why not give them each a
half game? There's nothing in the
rules against it and it keeps every
body happy. Besides, it makes my
standings add up correctly"
The clubs benefiting by Gauza S
aStute judgment are Uline Ice and
Police Boys Club 4-both In the
Junior division. Thus, today the
standings read:
