Victory Over Providence Today
Would Give Cardinals Better
Mark Than Coach Expected

Catholic University's appraisal of
its football season was to hinge on
its. collision with Providence Col
lege at 2 pm. today at Brookland
Stadium, with Coach Dutch Berg
man feeling the Cardinals will have
done more nobly than expected If
they bumped the Friars.
Some of Catholics more noted
achievements were accomplished in
defeat, the Cards losing interesting
engagements to strong Detroit, Tulsa
and Hardin Simmons, while whip
ping Miami, st. Anselm and West
Virginia Wesleyan. A scoreless tie
with, st. Vincent left C.. u. with a
500 record entering the Providence
contest.
Favored over Providence, which
boosted victories only over Rhode
Island State, Canisius and Spring
field, the Cardinals nevertheless were
anticipating a battle. G. us crack
quarterback, Pete Sachon, was not
expected to see action and the Cards
undoubtedly were to miss his pitch
ing, punting and general effective
ness.
Then, too, G. u. was expressing
considerable concern over the Friars'
sturdy line, which included a pair
of burly tackles in Walter Scanlon,
a 225-pounder, and Horace Marone,
a 200-pounder.

Alma Mater Showers
Tribute on Lyons,
.Chisox Pitcher
Receives Plaque at Grid :
Come, Banquet Tonight
Presented by BoyIor
BY the Associate Press.

BY the Associate Press.
WACO, Tex. Nov. 23.-Ted Lyons
finds out today just what his alma
mater thinks of him.
It's going to all be very favorable,
thank you.
Baylor University not only knew
Lyons as one of its most popular
athletes, but also as the one bring
ing it most athletic fame.
Ted, the durable White Sox pitch
er, who went from campus to ma
jors without a stop-of in the minors
as customary, was to receive a gold
plaque between halves of the Baylor
Southern Methodist football game
today.
President Pat M. Nef was to make
the presentation, being introduced
by Earl B. Smith of Dallas, member
of the Baylor Board of Trustees.
Lyons was to make a response.
Tonight the baseball star will be
honored at a banquet at which Prof.
Henry Trantham of Baylor, presi-
dent of the Southwest Conference,
will be the principal speaker.
Lyons, who was al-conference
in baseball and basket ball-he never
played football because the coaches
feared he would injure his valuable
baseball arm-left the university in
1928 and has been a mainstay of
the White Sox pitching staff since.

By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Suspecting that the Giants, aware
of the luck Brooklyn had, might
pull the same last-minute strategy
of their interborough neighbors and
force them to change their uniforms,
the Redskins were to leave for New
York this afternoon well-prepared
for that eventuality.
Although the New Workers have
worn Blue and White at home and
abroad for several seasons, their
official colors are Red, White and
Blue and the Redskins have an idea
their rivals might decide to concen-
trate on that first color tomorrow.
Thus 1t was that the Redskins
received an entire set of new gold
jerseys yesterdays bilious shade
of gold, to be sure, but one which
will meet the contrasting color
specifications Of any club in the
league if the Redskins are not
allowed to wear their regular Bur-
gundy for any road game.
The new shirts give the Redskins
a nearly all-gold appearance, for
their pants remain the same and
only their helmets and stockings
contribute the other half of their
official color combinations. Numbers
of all players remain the same on
the new uniforms, but they're not
as legible as the present white on
burgundy.
Pressure Kept on Indians.
For the first time since they have
been In Washington, the Redskins
waited this year until the eve Of
the Giant game to proceed to New
York and, for the first time In three
years, Frankie Filchock will not be
making the trip to the Polo Grounds.
Even had the Giants still been In
the running and the Eastern cham
pionship depended on the game, the
Redskins would not have made their
former pre-game trips to West
chester Country Club or Garden
City where they spent the last two
days before the Giant games of 1887,
SO and 80. Coach Ray Flaherty
finally concluded that isolating the
squad that way did more harm than
good, tending to make them concen-
trate too much on the task at hand
and producing the filters.
This year, he wants the Redskins
to take tomorrow's game in stride as
they have eight Of their other nine
games and he is keeping last-minute
conditions as nearly normal rs any
attitude before . Giant game can be.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 23.-
Yale and Harvard battle on the

a game which, If lost by the Els,
would establish a new low in their
pigskin history-a one-victory sea-
SON.
If the Blues go down to defeat,
and Harvard has been quoted an
8-to-5 favorite, it would mean seven
defeats for Yale. Other Yale eievens
have fallen as low as two wins in a
season. but to date that's the
leanest.
Harvard came to the Yale bowl
with a current seasonal record OF
two wins, two losses and three ties.
For the second successive season
in a game with Harvard, her old
rival, Yale, was deprived of the serv-
ices of her captain, Hal Whiteman, a
back of Memphis, Tenn, being out
with an arm injury.

Revision of Redskin BockfieId
For Tiff With Giants Looms
With FiIchock Still AiIinq

Filchock's inflamed side and

yesterday and the Redskins No. 2
passing star will be left In Emer-
gency Hospital until Monday at
least. It's tough on frankie, who
greatly enjoys playing against the
Giants, but it's a real opportunity
for Rookie Roy Zimmerman who will
be called upon to direct the second
and four period backfields.
Filchock's loss has upset Flaherty
no little and several changes in the
Redskin backfield combinations may
result. Yesterday, for example.
Flaherty had both Dick Todd and
Andy Farkas running with Sammy
Baugh's team and which will be
paired with Zimmerman remain to
be seen.
Although the number of WASH
ingtonians planning to attend the
game is expected to be one-third
smaller than the number that went
up last year and the year before. it
is estimated that between eight and
nine thousand Redskin supporters
will be there. The Redskins claim
to have sold $500 tickets and the
Junior Board of Commerce 500 more,
while individuals like John Lyon
and John McGurn are taking their
employees on private parties.
Figures Indicate Even Match.
The Pennsylvania Railroad ex-
poets to transport at least 5000 to
and from the game and will dis
patch six special trains tomorrow
morning, starting at $50 o'clock.
The last train will leave Union Sta
ton approximately an hour later.
Statistics today showed the Red
skins and Giants practically even
in their defensive record with WASH
ington having a better average in
scoring, passing, total yards gained,
first downs, pass interruptions, punt
ing and yards runback of punts and
kick-offs. New York has the edge
in yards gained rushing, least yards
penalized, least fumbles, most OPP
ponents' fumbles recovered, field
goals, least opponents yards and

Quakers Gamble
With Extra Ace
Against Ithaca
WexIer; Understudy,
Sturts as Aide to
Reagan, Star Back
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-1t was
an all-or nothing gamble for Penn
today as the Red and Blue squared
OF against favored Cornell in foot
ball game that found the Ivy League
title at stake, Cornell grimly intent
on erasing the tarnish Dartmouth
slapped on its prestige q week ago,
and the Eastern seasons top crowd,
some $4,000. in the stands.
Coach George Munger, usually
conservative, chose this hectic spot
to take q chance on q long shot. To
team up with triple-threat Frank
Reagan in the backfield, he named
Paul Wexler, who has understudied
Reagan for three years without
starting q game.
Wexler Has His Days.
Wexler has had his days-against
Yale year ago, when his pass in
the final seconds of the first half
beat the Ellis, 60, and against Army
last week, when he led the way to q
record 48-0 win with two touch
down passes. But day-in, day-out
Wexler, like so many other UNDER
studies, has found that the star al
most rever got sick and hardly ever
blew up in his lines.
Like Reagan, this 186-pound senior
from Boston can pass, kick and run.
Like Reagan, he is fast. So Munger
gambled with him today, hoping
thereby to achieve the multiple OBJ
jective of keeping Cornell from con-
centrating on Reagan, who can be
as fine a back as any we've seen;
of doubling PENIS offensive punch
for a battle that may be as open
as the 1920 thriller Cornell won In
1887, and of giving his team two
men who will be definite touchdown
threats if they can intercept any
Of those Cornell fiat passes.
Game "Sold Out" for 10 Days.
All of the tickets for this game,
which will set an attendance record
for series begun in 1893. were sold
three days before the Cornell-Dart-
mouth fifth down. episode. So that
incident gets no credit for the full
house.
1t does, however, explain the grim
ness evident among the Cornell
players when they checked in last
night. The seniors who have held
down 20 of the % first and second
team assignments had hoped to come
up to this game needing only to beat
Penn to complete two seasons with
out loss.
Because the Dartmouth ruina-
ton of that is likely to find them
cunning In all earnest this after
noon-which. plus the fact that
Cornell in high gear Is the best
football team this corner has seen
this fall, is the reason why the Itha-
cans are our choice.
