But the conservatives in the gal

withholding their final decision.
As for McNeill, seeded No. l here

a steady brand of 7-hit pitching it
wasn't much of a contest.
Washington had constructed an
81 lead after batting in the fifth
inning, which saw the Mats nail
Milnar and Clint Brown for five
runs chiefly through the delivery
of timely triple by Mickey Vernon
and home run by Jimmy Blood
worth.
Bloodworth's blow. which sailed
far over the head of center fielder
Larry Rosenthal and rolled almost
to the wall of Cleveland's expansive
municipal stadium. scored Vernon
ahead of him after Mickey had
scored Doc Cramer and Buddy
Lewis.
Sundra faltered to allow three
runs, including a homer by Ken
Keltner in the fifth, but in the last
four innings relief pitcher Harry
Eisenstat, who singled with two out
in the seventh, was the only Indian
to reach base against Steve.
Tribe Takes Nightcap in 18th.
Washington wasn't so wonderful
in that second game. The Mats threw
themselves right out of a IL tie in
the seventh, much to the chagrin
of Pitcher Kennedy, making his
most noble bid for victory since the
Mats obtained him from the Browns
in swap for Catcher Rick Ferrell
some weeks ago.
The Mats produced a run in the
second inning. but when Third
Baseman George Archie's low throw
pulled Vernon off first it led to Kelt-
ner scoring the tying run in the
third. That situation existed until
the seventh, when the Mats prompt
ly blew the decision.

Topnotch Players
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

More surprises of the sort which
resulted in the elimination of three
seeded men players yesterday seem
in store for the public parks tennis
tournament, which was to reduce its
huge starting field still further to-
day at the Rock Creek courts.
Feature match of the afternoon
was to be that between second
seeded Eddie Miller of the University
of Maryland and unranked Charley
Freer, now of Sewanee University
and former member of two of RooSe-
velt's interhigh championship teams.
Many gave Freer, apparently at the
top of his game, a good chance to
stop his higher-rated foe, believing
that the unseeded entrant is steadier
than Miller.
Only one of yesterdays three up
settlers, little Bryce Harlow, lieu
tenant now attached to the War
Department, was scheduled to play
today. Harlow, about the size of
Bitsy Grant and former No. player
for the University of Oklahoma, was
to meet Russ Barnes in fourth
round match, the winner to find
himself in the same bracket with
the survivor of the aforementioned
Miller-Free encounter.
Harlow crashed to the fore by up
setting seventh-seeded Jim Heiskell
in three long sets, 81, Ga, 81,
after routing Eli Gottlieb, another
who helped Roosevelt High to two
championships, in straight sets,
6-1, 60.

Use Football Tactics,
Declares Dawson
BY MORTIMER KREEGER,


NEW ORLEANS. July 21.-Amer-
ica's football coaches, says one of
them, would know how to stop
blitzkrieg- they invented it!
Those fellows in Europe are just
doing what we've been doing for
years" declared Tulane's Coach Red
Dawson, sitting before an electric
fan in his office.
He diagrammed tactics used in the
RuSSo-German war. and compared
them with plays he was outlining for
his own fall campaign.
Football Preceded Blitz.
Football used to be a war Of
position, he said, but changed to
war of movement before you ever
heard of a blitzkrieg. Teams used
TO lock horns and push until one of
them would get small lead, then
would dig in to protect itself until
the game wore out.
Now it's all attack-get the ball,
keep it, keep scoring.
Instead of just pushing ahead
you concentrate for a quick break
through, and follow that up. You
use tricks and cross-blocks to flow
around points of strong resistance.
Your downfeld blockers operate just
as the advance units of panzer
divisions.
PASSES were used before the Luft-
waite to surprise an enemy and
soften up his ground resistance.
Armies. which used to mass forces
for weeks at one point and then push
ahead through sheer might. now
strike suddenly anywhere like a
deceptive football team"
Like Five-M Man Grid Line.
Dawson compared the new de
fense in depth" military theories to
the five-man football line. with most
of the strength in the secondary, but
ready to come in and sock any
where"
The Russians have destroyed a
lot of tanks by letting them get
through and then hitting them from
the side or rear" he continued.
That's just football mousetrap.
Even their plans of campaign re-
semble some teams football sched-
ules. The Germans took on lot of
small countries first before tackling
the big ones.

to have learned things about supply
