LOS ANGELES, Aug. l5.-eouth-

successor to the late head football
coach, Howard Jones, and the feel
ing remains general that Justin M.
SAM Barry, for many years Jones
right-hand aide. will get the posi-
ton.
DR.. Rufus B. Won Klein Smid.
president of the university, has re-
turned from q business trip in the
East and is expected to announce
the appointment.
Willis o. Hunter, director Of ath-
letics, said soon after Jones death
from a heart attack July "A that
no appointment would be made
until DR.. Won Klein Smid returned.
Barry, chief assistant of the Jones
coaching staff, is presently at a
coaching school at Monterey, Calf.
His name was the first, and vir-
tually the last, mentioned as a pos
sible successor to Jones to guide
the Trojan football campaign this
fall.
Associated with the headman, as
Jones was known, since 1929 at
U. S. c. and previously from 1922
to 1925 with Jones at the Univer-
sity of Iowa, Barry ranks as one of
the best scouts and tacticians in
the Pacific Coast Conference.
A hail-fellow-well-met type, Barry
long has been extremely popular
with Trojan players, students and
alumni. He will be 40 years of age
next December
He came to U. S. c. at Jones in
stigation to coach basket ball and
baseball as well as help with the
Trojan football varsity. He built an
enviable reputation in all three
branches.
Barry was born at Aberdeen.
S. Oak. He attended Lawrence Col
lege in Wisconsin and Wisconsin.
He coached at Madison (Wis) High

The scheme is the brain child of
Bill Hardy of Chevy Chase and has
received the enthusiastic o. X. of
Al Houghton, tournament chairman
for the Washington section of the
Middle Atlantic p. G. A. As ex-
planned by Houghton, the affair will
find about a dozen pros playing
round robin event among them
selves much along the line of ex-
hibition matches held several years
ago. Each club where the tourney
is held will be asked to put up
small sum, with part of the money
going toward a purse for the Dis

An Impressive Build
by BILL DISNGER, Jr,
Star Staff Corrsspondent.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Ends, those
primary objectives Of Sammy
Baugh's passes, comprised exactly
half Of the even dozen Redskins
who were to pull out Of this Mid
western metropolis shortly before
noon today on the second lap of
this transcontinental trek to San
Diego. So 1t was only natural that
two Of them, a veteran and . rookie.
should be creating the first bit OF
speculation on what looms as An
otherwise uneventful three day
train ride on the Santa Fe's Grand
Canyon Limited.
Transcending all other bits of in
terest was the fact that Bob Mas
terson, about to start his fourth
year with the Tribe, Is nearly IS
pounds heavier than he was q year
ago and now tips the scales in ex-
cess Of $50. Undoubtedly the tough
est, toughest and hardest playing
end on the squad last year, the ex-
University Of Miami star should be
even more terrifying to opponents
this season with that added pound
age
Masterson, who has spent the last
two o6-seasons living IN nearby
Arlington County. across the river
from Warrington, naturally doesn t
expect to carry all that weight into
the opening league game against
the Giants On September 70, but II
he Il In the neighsorhood of 225,
only his opponents will be sorry.
For two years now, Coach Ray Fla-
herty personally has considered
Masterson ~ the best all-around
end In the league. excluding not
even the Packers Don Hutson or
the Dodgers Perry Schwartz, the
Official all-league ends last year.
Aggressive, and liable to be even
more valuable as a place kicker in
the absence Of Bo Russell, now on
active duty as Reserve Onicer,
Masterson might be due for ma
tional, IS well as local, recognition
this year.
The other bit of news was Gre
ated at Washington's Union Station
last evening when the new end from
Tennessee, blond and good looking
Ed Offers, first was introduced to a
handful Of his new mates. Cifers
Is no midget, either. He may weigh
perhaps Is pounds less than Mas
terson, but at 220 he's still above
the average of National League
ends, and his 6-foot-2 stature should
make him an ideal target.
Cifers is one of two ends on whom
the Skins will be counting most, the
other being Southern California s
AL Kruger. They were, incident
ally, selected right after each other
in the National League draft, Cifers
being the Redskins fourth choice
and Kruger their NTH.
