HOLY CROSS HAS. SIGHTS SET ON. EASTERN GROWN.
Game With Syracuse Sat- urday Is Real Test; Yale,
 Dartmouth Not Favored
BY TOM NoONAN United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Boston, Oct. 10-(UP)-A trio of New England elevens strive to pro- tect undefeated records against higher-rated teams, and Boston Col lege starts a new bid to return to eastern heights tomorrow in feature football games involving this sec- tion.
 The unbeaten three-Holy Cross, Yale and Dartmouth-will enter their tests as shortenders in the bet ting, but gambling odds based on early-season showings and advance publicity mean little at this stage of the campaign.
 Holy Cross, dark horse in the struggle for the mythical eastern championship, hits the road to en- gage a power-packed Syracuse team seeking to rebound from a one- touchdown loss to Cornell. The Cru saders have flock of capable backs and If their line holds up, they should more than hold their own against Syracuse. In event of a close battle, fullback Johnny Grigas, she nations leading ground gainer to date, may provide the margin of yic- tory for Holy Cross.
 Bulldogs Underdogs
 Yale, in the process of rebuilding under new coach Spike Nelson, definitely will be an tlnderdop against an inexperienced but potent Pennsylvania club that wallooad Harvard by three touchdowns. Yale overcame l9-point deficit against Virginia last week and possesses huge gobs of the sophomore spirit that oftens spells success.
 Dartmouth and Colgate-Tutored by a couple of gridiron magicians, Fuss McLaughry and Andy Kerr collide at Hanover, N. H. Colgate supposedly is an eastern powerhouse, put Dartmouth is an unknown quan- tity because 1t has had only two warmup tests against small college clubs. McLaughry, in his first year at Dartmouth after long campaign ing at Brown, has driven the big Green at top speed all week, and ,he varsity has been unusually success full in Smearing Colgate plays dem- onstrated by freshmen.
 T0SS-Up?
 Boston College seeks revenge for It's 1940 Cotton Bowl loss to Clen- son, and the intersectional clash at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, well may decide the I94l fate of the Eagles who ranked with the nations best year ago.
 The teams rate about even money. Boston College will be bolstered by a weeks rest and the return of backs Frank Maznicki and Mike Holovak who were of little use when the Eagles were shot down by Tu- lane at New Orleans. Pass defense, B. C.'S weakness against Tulane, has been stressed for nearly two weeks oy coach Denny Myers.
 Harvard's senior studded but re- serve-shy team appears in for an- other beating when 1t faces Cornell in the stadium at Cambridge. Coach Dick Harlow has injected three sophomores into the starting line- up to give the Crimson more punch.
 Brown gets breather in meeting Rhode Island State at Providence.

Rendezvous Is Only
Plant With Major
Squad Slated
Two Women at Columbia,
One at BrookIund Roll
Into Poy-off List
By ROD THOMAS,

Scattered fire tonight will bring
to close The Evening Stars 18th
annual Yuletide Handicap, largest
duckpin tournament on record which
opened with field of approximately
$4,000 men and women.
Only at the Rendezvous is a regu-
lar squad scheduled, this for women
at $50 o'clock. The Arcadia, at
$50; the Columbia at 10 and Brook
land Recreation at 7:30 will give
patrons who missed the regular
squads an opportunity to shoot for
slices of the rich tournament melon.
Moving into the payoff list last
night were three women. notably
Mrs. Grace Penn of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation League
who shot 30-391 at the Columbia
to tie for sixth place. Mrs. Penn
topped off her set with a game of
1874.
Fellow Columbian Shines.
Almost keeping pace at the Co.
lumbia with Mrs. Penn was Mrs.
Dorothy Sparks of the Agriculture
League, tied for 21st place with
32-376. Mrs. Vickie Croggon of the
Brookland Ladies League, rolling at
Brookland, tied for 18th with "a
$50. Just out of the money, likely,
was Mrs. Margaret Mattingly Brook
land Ladies League, with 48-372.
j. P. Marceron led the male COM
petltors Of the evening with 90-687
at the Chevy Chase Ice Palace. He
deadlocked for 32d place.
With so few remaining to roll. TOP
honors in the rolloff appear a cinch
for Jack Shafferman, who marked
up 40-739 at Brookland, and Evelyn
Naylor, who fired 26-4I7 at Rosslyn.
In fact, there seems little chance
that any of the first half dozen in
either the mems or womens stand
ings will be topped.
Prize Winners Widely Scattered.
Laurels have been we'll distributed
among the 26 bowling plants in
volved, with only a few failing to
produce potential prize winner.
Among the larger establishments,
Lucky Strike is leading with seven
and among the smaller, Brookland
with five. Alley managers take as
much pride, it seems. in turning up
winner as the winner does in COL
lecting.
1t is tribute to all that honors
have been so widely placed. But for
the generally high standard of
Metropolitan Washingtons maple
lanes such a tournament as The
Stars would not be practical. 1t is
the only one Of its kind in the coun-
try and becoming more successful
every year.
A lot of checking must be done be-
fore the payoff, which likely won't
come before another week.

By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

When Irish joey Gallagher, the
smilin sharpshooter from ST. Johns,
drew a bead on the bucket and sent
two points sliding through the hoop
for George Washington frosh last
winter it was believed generally the
Colonials had stumbled upon an
other Tommy OBrien.
They said he couldn't miss with
that eye, polished poise and canny
court strategy. He seemed to meas
ure up to O'Brien in every way even
down to his Gaelic handle and it
was a comforting thought to en-
vision Gallagher standing in mid
court and ringing the bell with long
pot shots as Tommy used to do
when a couple of points meant the
difference between victory or de-
feat
But here is basket ball turning the
corner from holiday skirmishing into
the play-for-keeps winter campaign
and no Gallagher in the lineup.
What happened? Nothing. ab-
solutely nothing. Joes all right
as good as ever. but c.. W.'s varsity
plans are working out even better
than Coach Bill Reinhsrt dercd
dream.
Gillian and Veltri Block Him.
Under Reinhart's system no more
than two small men-that is. under
6 feet-can crash the lineup to-
gether. He needs the three others
to grab stray shots off the back
board and generally control the ball
while the Colonials are setting up
their plays. 1t so happens that
Reinhart has Bobby Gilham and
Lou Veltri on this years squad and
both have a lot of native ability
and more experience than Gal
lagher. Joe is carrying his part of
the load. doing relief duty for both.
but as long as they're in the lineup
he'll have to sit on the bench and
await his turn.
Few sophs have crashed the
varsity at G.. w. since Reinhart
took over several years ago. OBrien
was one, George CARRIER another.
A third was Matt Zunic. who still iS
carrying on. They were good. but
circumstances also were favorable
The team either lacked players Of
their type or had been riddled by
graduation and they stepped right
into varsity berths and held them.
Gallagher could do the same under
similar conditions, but there are
Veltri and Gilham ahead of him and
they're pretty good, too.
Maryland went back to classes to-
day, and the bell rang for Terp
athletes, too. Mike Lombardo, who
faces a sized task in his first
year at the helm of the ring team,
has been working with some pupils
during the holidays, and there are
reassuring reports from College
Park. A courier from the province
arrived just before press time - re-
port the presence of a strapping g.
foot 1-inch 185-pounder who gives
promise of developing into a top
notch collegiate heavyweight. Sto-
ries of new heavyweights with the
polish of Tunney and punch OF
Dempsey come out of College Park
as regularly as the buses, so this
might be another bear yarn. But
