Georgetowns gridmen this morning

Hagerty indicated he would make no

Bill Mclaughlin, hard-running
dual threat halfback, had a chance
to get into the lineup at Barrett's

to see service in a relief capacity

Crop TO Again Make
Bid for Honors
SeweII, Third in 1910,
Passes for Touchdown
In First Encounter
BY GAIL FOWLER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

SEATTLE, Oct. 3.-With Tommy
Harmon of Michigan eating up
movie footage instead of gridiron
yardage, who's going to be the 194l
back of the year?
The yardstick of the American
Football Statistical Bureau has
pointed to that gentleman in three
of the last four years. Whizzer
White of Colorado in 1887, Davie
O'Brien of Texas Christian in 1888
and Harmon last year were indicated
by the unflinching figures for the
honorS they subsequently received.
Last year Harmon finished second
to Johnny Knolla of Creighton, but
Harmon did his work in eight tough
games. He barely was nosed out by
Knolla who performed in 10 contests.
So what have we now?
Well, here are the holdovers from
1910 total offenSe leaders-backS who
hit the first 20 of the Nation by both
their passing and ball carrying pro-
clivities. You may hear more of
them.
Bill Sewell of Washington State
was third in total offense and first
in passing last year. He's at it
again, throwing a touchdown pass
against U. c. L. A. last week, al
though his team lost by point.
Dudley Off to Big Start.
Others you'll be hearing from are
Bill Dudley of Virginia, who made
the Associated Press third team all
America last year and who scored
six touchdowns and rolled up 260
yards in two games this year; Jimmy
Richardson of Marquette, Jimmy
Renolds of Oklahoma A. 81 M, Merle
Hapes and Junie Hovious of Missis-
sippi, Steve Filipowicz of Fordham,
Jack Jacobs of Oklahoma, Pete Lay
den of Texas and Owen Price of
Texas Mines.
Rushing specialists include Bob
Westfall of Michigan, Harmon s
running mate last year; John
Polanski of Wake Forest, Walt
XII illShy Vi Ldld CIbC dllu S1ul ldll
Dodson of Louisiana State.
Some of those after Sewells pass
ing mark are Dudley of Virginia
who was fourth in the national last
year; Jack Jacobs of Oklahoma
Joe Frank of N. Y. U, Dick Good of
Illinois and Glenn Dobbs of Tulsa.
Price of Texas Mines was the
Nations leading punter last year
with 48-yard average He booted
II for 39-yard average last week.
Ed Bryant of Virginia, who teams
with Dudley, was last years top pass
snatcher with 80 and he's back.
frankie Albert Unique.
Only frankie Albert of Stanford S
T formation returns among the
backs who made the 1910 Associated
Press All-America first team. Albert
was just shy of the statistical
leaders last year, but he completed
13 out of 20 passes for 124 yards
against Oregon last week
Another man strong in his region,
but statistically shy nationally last
year was Minnesota's Bruce Smith.
Two Associated Press little ALL
America backs again are making
bids. Marv Tommy Gun" Tom
mervik of Pacific Lutheran, near
Tacoma, exploded l3 completed
passes for 232 yards and also ran
effectively to help his team defeat
favored Gonzaga, 26-13. last week.
Jackie Hunt, who scored 162 points
last year, is back at Marshall in the
West Virginia hills.

Ace Parker again will be the main
guy for the Redskins to watch Sun
day when the Dodgers pay their
annual visit to Griffith Stadium. but
judging from reports drifting down
from Brooklyn the National Foot
ball Leagues most valuable player
is getting quite a bit of help this
year.
And that, friends, is news, for
previous lack of support had made
the Portsmouth (Va.) boy as much
of a "one-man football team" as
any player we ever saw.
It's different now, according to
those who have seen the Dodgers
win their first two league games.

tically has developed other running

Indian Joe PeroIto Wins
Six Out Of Ten Rounds

BY the Associated Press.
KES-BARRE, Pa, Oct. s.
Awaiting an opening that meyer
came, the worlds featherweight
champion, Chalky Wright of New
York. dropped lO-round decision
last night to Joe Peralto. unknown
Indian fighter out of Tamaqua, Pa.
All three officials called six rounds
in favor of Peralto, giving three TO

There were no knockdowns in the
non-title clash before 1000 fans.
The Indian, weighing 1873 to
Wright's l26, kept on the move con-
tinually and piled up a comfortable
margin by taking the first five
rounds.
The champion started work in the
sixth but his attack lost momentum
after the next stanZa and Peralto
had no trouble in the closing rounds
despite cut on the left eye.

full and possibly futile swing at this

past this one the Wade men well
may wind up the season unbeaten.
Duke uncorked plenty Of scoring
punch against Wake Forest. Ten
nessee's strength still is problemat-
ical, but the Vols have at least one
extremely dangerous back in Johnny
Butler. Reserving the right to sec
ond-guess this selection, Duke.
Southern California Ohio State:
The TrojanS may not be major
factor in the Coast Conference race
this season. but that seems to go
doubled in spades for Ohio State in
the Western Conference. Taking the
home club, Southern California.
Fordham Southern Methodist:
The Mustangs and Rams. and the
only sure thing is that this should
be one of the days best ball games.
Well take Fordham. but that pre-
season ballyhoo for the Rams had
better have some foundation In
fact.
Irish Have General Edge.
Indiana-Notre Dame: Bo McMillin
has a great running back in Billy
Hillenbrand, but this corner can't
see Indiana upsetting the Notre
Dame applicant. The Irish seem to
greater all-around strength. Notre
Dame.
Louisiana State Texas: Until
events prove it is mistake, the sec
retary is empowered to cast one
steady ballot for Texas
West Virginia Navy: Spot for a
surprise, for West Virginia is load
ed. A wavering vote for Navy.
Purdue-Pitt: Tough choice. Fig

Iowa Michigan: Off last weeks

Mississippi State-Alabama: Like

Watson, the coin. Arkansas.
U. C. L. A-Stanford: A fat vote

whom he persuaded Owner Dan
Topping to purchase from the Phil
adelphia Eagles after seeing Condit
lead the league in ground-g gaining
last year until he was hurt, and Bill
Leckonby, Parker's understudy, who
is in his third year with the Dodgers.
Parker, of course, remains Brook
lyn's No. l offensive threat as there
isn't anything this 168-pound all
America from Duke can't do. Ace
broke his left ankle year ago last
May in baseball and played the first
few games of the football season
with heavy brace, which hindered
him not at all. This year he broke
his other ankle, also in May, but it
has recovered so quickly that he
hasn't worn a brace since starting
football training.
Ace a Natural Leader.
Reputedly, Parker's the most pop
ular back on the Brooklyn squad
and his leadership is natural as well
as inspirational. Those who follow
the Dodgers regularly say that more
blocking seems to be done for him
than for any other ball carrier on
the team-not consciously, but be-
cause his spirit is contagious. Big
Bruiser Kinard, the Dodgers all
league tackle from Mississippi, whose
brother, George, is with the team
as a guard, is quoted as saying: "I
just get a kick out of blocking for
Ace"
Sutherland unhesitatingly pro-
nounces Parker "the greatest COM
petitor I've ever seen" To which
many Washingtonians who already
have seen him in two pro games say
Amen"

A Junk the junker" drive inaugu-

cording to G. S. Fletcher, Studeba-

paigning to raise 100000 tons of
scrap iron and steel through the medi-

A survey conducted among GOA
Studebaker distributors and dealers,
selected at random from all parts of
the country, establishes the fact that,
in recent 60-day period, they sent a
total of 26O7 cars to the wreckers.
On the basis of figures released by
OPM, these junkers were equivalent
to about 1866 tons of scrap iron and
steel. Or, in the terms of finished
products, they equalled approximately
$500 light cannons or 100 light
