BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

You'll travel long way before
finding a football man not only
willing but eager to discuss any,
thing but the pigskin pastime.
Usually their conversation begins
with blocking backs and ends with
guards pulling out of the line, but
Ray Swartz wasn't loath to switch
to head-locks and scissors holds.
He seemed to relish it, as a matter
of fact.
Swartz, big enough to throw a
bull elephant and friendly as an
old pair OF shoes, is Navy's wrestling
coach and former national heavy
weight champion at Oklahoma A.
and M. He also helps coach Navy's
grid and trackmen, but muscle
mashing is his favorite pastime.
How the Oklahoma Aggies got
their start on the mat and became
the ranking power is a long story,
but SWartz sketched it briefly for
us within half hour. Hero of the
yarn is Ed Gallagher, Oklahoma
coach and the man who introduced
nan nelson's IN the oil country.
Was Sprinter Himself.
Ed was trackman in his under
graduate days-a sprinter, but after
graduation he returned to school
as an instructor and one of his
first jobs was to map out a sports
program for the boys. He intro
duced intramural sports on a scale
never known before and one of the
pastimes he included was wrestling.
He didn't know a toehold from a
bearhug, mind you, but it seemed
to be good, competitive sport and
he decided to give it try.
We'll, he got all wrapped up in it
and began to study its scientific
side. He not only learned the stand
ard holds, but invented a couple of
new ones-one the collegiate scis-
sors hold. He made a major minor
sport out OF it and pretty soon had
the entire student body interested.
Everybody, or most everybody. at
A. and M. wrestles. Maybe they
don't make the varsity and maybe
they aren't so good, but they all

Fisher, Steiner Make
Central Big Choice
Over Eastern
Their Pitching, Hitting
Expected to Decide
Title Game Today

Backed with confidence that two
brilliant players have given them
the Vikings of Central were to face
a greatly improved Eastern nine for
the 1910 public high baseball cham
pionship at Anacostia Stadium today
at $50.
The teams. bitter rivals and VIM
ners of l6 of the last 10 titles, figured
to stage a warm contest if Eastern S
hurting could hold off a hard hitting
team that has conquered six straight
opponents since April in its second
successive march to the final Of the
scholastic diamond series.
Also Has Mental Edge.
Holding strong mental advantage
gained by an earlier l3-to-3 victory
Centrals bid for main honors was
backed by Billy Fisher, pitcher, and
Benny Steiner, slugger, who have
combined to make the Vikings one
of the most publicized young teams
in history here
Fisher, outstanding moundsman
of the series and winner of all six
starts. and Steiner, whose consistent
long range hitting has helped put
the Gas House Gang into the un-
defeated ranks, threatened to be the
difference between winning and los
ing today's engagement. With Billy
hurting his best ball and Steiner
continuing his attack, there ap-
peared little chance for Eastern to
spring an upset. Take away these
two players and the game would be
a toss-up.
May Use Second Stringer.
With it's best pitcher. Warren
Erhardt, a victim of Fisher and
Steiner a month ago. and therefore
a doubtful starter. Eastern might
rely on one of its two second string
hurlers, Kenny beavers or Kenny
Curles While both have shown
occasional power this year. neither
appeared to hold much chance of
outpitching Fisher or stopping
Steiner.
The game will bring to a close a
series that held little in the way of
first rate competition Except for
startling few individuals none of the
participants in the race to the finale
showed ability usually associated
with the series.

stock company. She was less than
a high school graduate then, but
her eloquence was such that the
manager of the stock company freely
accepted her as an extra.
Even as an extra she demon
strated the need for additional
training, thing which the stock
company manager suggested she
might obtain by going to a school
such as the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts. Dutifully, Miss
Field went Before she finished
the course, however, Producer Gill
bert Miller tossed her into the Lon
don company of his production,
"She Loves Me Not" AS the part
was written, it called for a debu-
tante. No debutante being avail
able, including Miss Field, the
character was changed to that of
a subdebutante. That seldom hap
pens, but Miller was influenced by
the general opinion of those who
saw the play that Miss Field could
act. The acceptance of London's S
critics and audiences coroborated
that opinion Miss Field simply
was a WOW in London.
Back in America later however,
she went through the usual disap-
pointment of working for producers
who did not believe that London
audiences knew what it was all
about. As fast as she applied for
Jobs, she was turned down. 1t never
discouraged her. There still were
fashion photographs to be posed for,
and Miss Field posed for them In
the meantime, she waited, a calm
and patient person who could not
be disturbed even by five under
study roles in none of which she
appeared in even a single perform

career is concerned, it really began

Turning his attention now to the
possibilities for rscketeering with
religion and the dangers the rack
eteer faces when tampering with
faith, Mr.. Courtenay Savage has
written a play called "Safe Cross
ing" presented for the first time
on any stage by the Blackfriars
Guild last night. And it is quite
likely that Mr.. Savage has some
thing here which he can whip into
shape for the professional Stage. His
main theme seems solid enough and
the play is one with its lively mo-
ments and its dramatic ones. It also
had its moments last night when it

OF any young actress with that many
