Letup at Roce's End Seen
As Series Aid TO Reds.

A year ago Cincinnati's Reds we're
crowded to the wire. Both Der
ringer and Walters had little rest
before stepping out against the Yam
KEGS. A brace Of pitchers can't get
much rest in the rugged process of
winning So ball games. I know Red
supporters feel that neither Der
ringer nor Walters was at peak form
This time they look for a differ
ent turn. The two big Red winners
have had much better pitching sup
port from Thompson, Moore and a
few others.
Unless some one touches off a
package of INT or ignites box of
nitroglycerine, the Reds will have
fair breathing spell before the
next series starts.
The Reds look to be on safe soil
today. They should be on velvet at
least 10 days before the season ends.
This means Bill McKechnie can use
Derringer and Walters only when
they need workout to iron out
a few kinks.
This can make a large difference.
Junior Thompson also will be a
more valuable aid, with a years
added experience.

Mr.. Connolly, the Byron Of Nor

up with the rhyme he did come up

rounded his difficulties very neatly.
His poetry is devoid of beauty and
soul, and it shows no deep insight
into human nature. but you can't
have everything. The poet Whittier
was the same way. The winner:
"Army's men have bigger ileums

Naturally, we rejected Mr.. Con-
nolly's vulgar invitation to a wager,
but we figure that on thought, meter
and soundness of rhyme, he has it
on the field. The ileum, sometimes
spelled ilium, is "the lower three
f1fths Of the small intestine, exclud-
ing the duodenum." We do not
vouch for the poets information
that Army's players possess the
ileum in larger measure than VIII

BY GRANTLAND RICE,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 80 (N.A.
N-A0-The miracle game of foot
ball is on in Philadelphia today
charging lines, broken field runners,
terrific hlockers, passers and kickers.
Army hasn't won a major football
game in two years. Navy hasn't
been much better. Neither has had
the material to compete on even
terms with most college opponents.
But these two service teams IN
the last four years have PLAYED
to more than 100000 spectators
who have contributed something
more than $1,500,000 to the annual
Arny-Navy games. This is more
money than many good college
teams have harvested in the last
20 years.
Army and Navy, as far as crowds
60. don't need winning teams, what
with Notre Dame on each schedule
and their own brawl Army and
Notre Dame drew $1,000, at a S44C
clip, with two second-rate teams.
Navy and Notre Dame drew $4,000
at Baltimore, at the same rate.
Army and Navy, after two bad sea-
sons, still are looking for another
100000 crowd at a $500 900 charge
So this game is, in one way at
least, a miracle game. 1t is a
battle, after all, between our two
big service academies with all the
spirit, action. color and racket that

dable boxing team this winter, al
though Coach Eddie La Fond. with
just the proper amount of pessimism
views the approaching campaign
with alarm.
Back for another fling with the
padded pillows are Ted Mandris, 12l
pounds; Lenny Baritone, 127 pounds;
Huck Hughes, las pounds; Gerry
Strang, los pounds and captain
elect, and julius STANCES, heavy
weight.
Missing will be Fred Slant, former
intercollegiate 165-pound titleholder;
Joe Bunsa, capable 155-pounder;
Jay Turner, 175-pounder and heavy
weight; Bob Viner, 155 pounds;
Johnny Tedder and John Del la
Rosa, 135-pounderS
Mandris Much Improved.
Mandris, a rank novice when he
laced on his first glove, won four
fights last year and was undefeated
With some luck he should add to the
streak this year, for La Fond reports
he is vastly improved.
Baritone, stiff puncher who lost
to Maryland and Columbus boxers,
hopes for better things. and Hughes,
who won only one match, tied one
and lost three, is determined to re-
verse the score.
Strang, who lost one match in five
and went to the intercollegiate finals
at Sacramento, and STANCES, unde-
feated in four bouts, will give the
Cards ample protection in the
heavier brackets, but Slant, Bunsa
and Turner will be sorely missed.
Slant dropped only one decision dur
ing his collegiate career, chalking
up Is victories. Bunsa lost twice
and Turner won a majority of his
engagements.
Good Prospects at Hand.
Most promising prospects coming
up are Leo Gaffney, hard-hitting
lightweight from Fall River, Mass. +:
Leon Wowack, a green 145-pounder
who needs a lot of coaching and
experience; Leo Houck, jr.. and Ken
ny Blackbird, Neutrality-suspicious.;
Kasimir (Sneeze) Ksycewski and
Bernie Cody. heavyweights.
Houck, son of the Penn State box
ing coach, may drop down into the
165-pound slot if any emergency
arises and figures to give a good
account of himself in either class.
This will be La Fond's tenth year
at the helm since he took over in
1880 and with another tough SEIZED =
ule ahead it shapes up as one of the
stormiest winters of his coaching
career.

Former Varsity Mittmen
Lombordo, Nedomotsky
Top Lot Considered

Mike Lombardo and Ivan Nedo-
matsky, crack 155 and 145-pounders
respectively, of Maryland ring teams
several years ago, will be named
co-coaches of the Terp varsity mitt-
men this winter, it was reported
today.
Official conhrmatio of their ap-
pointment was not forthcoming
from College Park, but Geary Epp-
ley, director of athletics, admitted
both were on the list of those under
consideration for the berth vacated
by 1t. Col. Harvey L. Miller, who
is on active duty with the marine
corps.
Nedomatsky Tutored Frosh.
Lombardo is teaching physical
education and coaching at Frederick,
Md, and will be able to accept the
Maryland position only if trans
ferred to a school closer to College
Park. AS the boxing assignment
is only part time and temporary
he can i'll afford to give up his
teaching position.
Nedomatsky worked with the fresh
men last winter, sharing the duties
with Benny Alperstein, another for
mer Terp star who also was con-
sidered for the varsity role.
Both Lombardo and Nedomatsky
were consistent winners while under
Capt. Jack Harmony and later un-
der Col. Miller. Nedomatsky held
both 135-pound and 145-pound
Southern Conference championships
in consecutive years and was un-
defeated in dual competition al
though held to a draw in one match
by Greco of Catholic U.
Lombardo Popular at School.
Lombardo was a victim of hard
luck in tournament competition, US
ually being eliminated because of
cut eyes in the semi-fnal. He was
extremely popular both in and out
of the ring at College Park and his
return would be welcomed by alumni
and students alike.
Although Maryland has no set
policy in the matter. the appoint
ment of this pair would give it an
all-alumni coaching group as Miller
was the last non-alumni coach to
hold office. 1t also will be the Terps'
third experiment in group coaching,
having tried it this year in foot
ball with coaching board of three
and several years ago in the same
field prior to Frank Dobson's ap-
pointment as head coach.
