Monch|ovich
Draft Gets Regular
Center; Picco Also
Out of Action
BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON.

George Washington's wobbly grid
iron forces staggered under the i'm
pact of still another blow this aft
ernoon as Mike Monchlovich, reg
ular center and one of the few vets
on the squad, was called TO active
service in the Army.
While Monchlovich's departure
was not wholly unexpected. Coach
Bill Reinhart had hoped he would
be deferred until the completion
of the current school semester,
which would give him a full season
of football. But this was not to be,
and Mixes call to the colors vindi-
Gates Reinhart'S judgment in keep
ing him out of both the Mount ST.
Mary's and Manhattan games and
thereby having him a full years
eligibility.
Reinhart, despite one bad break
after another, still hopes to make a
successful Southern Conference
debut against Washington and Les
tomorrow night at Griffith Sta
dium. Washington and Lee has not
shown much. extensively. in two
games, and the Colonial chief of
staff feels that if the G. w. attack
can manufacture a touchdown or
two the defense can check the
Generals. That may not be wishful
thinking.
Foes Plays Checked in Drill.
The varsity stopped every Wash
ington and Lee play thrust at it in
scrimmage yesterday. its last hard
workout before the game. The var
sity ofense also clicked against
freshmen using w and LIS five-man
line, giving rise 10 the hope that
George Washington's backs will hit
their true stride.
Paul Nugent, heretofore a block
ing back, may get chance to lug
the leather tomorrow night. He
alternated with Walt Fedora at tall
back last season and has had eX-
perience in the role. but this year
was returned to his old chores Of a
blocking back for the first two
games. Nugent is a hard driver, a
4
around defensive man TO boot and
might be the spark needed to touch
of G. W.'s dynamite.
Johnny Picco, probably the best
end on the squad, will not be avail
able because of twisted knee that
has failed to respond to treatment
as we'll as expected. Pat Del Vecchio,
a promising rookie, will be inserted
in his place. Del Vecchio has the
makings of fine wingman, but lacks
the experience that made Picco a
crack Wingman.
Others on Casualty List.
The Colonials also have a num-
Der of other men on the casualty
list. but most of them should be
ready for the kickoff In this cate
CORY are Johnny Konizewski, cork
ing good tackle; Hank Agusiewicz, a
guard of first water, and Fedora.
Washington and Lees tentative
starting lineup includes Nelson and
Brown at ends, Furman and Ailor at
tackles, Fabian and Gray at guards,
Littlepage, center; Capt. Dick Pinck.
Cavaliere, McKenna and Joe
Baugher in the backfeld. Gray. one
of the squads best guards, has been
out with injuries. but is expected
to be ready for the fray.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Here are
some guys who ought to SYM
pathize with Mickey Owen and
the Dodgers: Forrest Main, a
pitcher for Idaho Falls in the
Pioneer League, had a no-hitter
against Boise with two out in the
ninth when Jack Radtke bounced
an easy one and Shelly McCon-
nell, the second Sacker, fell down
trying to make the throw. The
scorer finally had to call it hit.
Up in Minnesota the Delano
and Nowthen teams were rained
out in an amateur league playoff
game. They heard there was
dry field 10 miles away, so players,
crowd and all drove over. The
field was almost flooded, but the
fans pitched in and helped drain
it. Then just after the game
started a cloudburst came along.
West coast reporters here for
the series spent a lot of time
quizzing the Southerners about
Duke after the Blue Devils
knocked off Tennessee. They'd
like to see Wallace Wade's boys
in the Rose Bowl again If all goes

were put out quickly by the thots- ands of civil defense workers who now keep watch day and night on rooftops and in the streets.
 The bomb which struck in the Manege Square was heavy high explosive one. It left 8 deep crater.
 The air raid alarm signal, sixth of the war but the first to be fol- lowed by German planes, sounded at 10 D. m. @ D. m. Monday, E. D. ID and the~'a clear" did not come until 1-2 hours later at 3:30 &. m. today (8:30 p. m. Monday, D. D. T).
 It was asserted officially that at least 17 of the German planes were shot down either by gun fire or Russian night fighter planes.
 A communique announced that German planes had tried persist ently Sunday and Monday to raid Leningrad, Russia's second city, and that at least 19 of them had been shot down. Russian fighter planes intercepted the raiders on each attempt, 1t was said, and turned them back outside the city. The loss of four Russian planes was admitted.
 Aided by the darkness, the Ger man planes swept low over Moscow last night.
 They started by dropping flares to light the city. Next they dropped several high explosive bombs and finally they let loose a spray of incendiary bombs.
 Communique Report
 "The raid is considered to have failed. Defense units of Soviet aviation halted the main forces of the German planes before they reached Moscow.
 Isolated planes broke through. Several fires broke out. A small number of persons were killed 0r wounded. No military targets were hit. Soviet aircraft and a11ti.air- craft guns, in accordance with in- complete data, shot down 17 Ger man planes. The alarm lasted 5 l-2 hours"
 (Moscow's radios had gone off the air suddenly yesterday after noon and service was iI1termit- tent until early today)
 The early communique reported stubborn fighting on the Moscow and Kiev fronts.
 Apparently the Leningrad and Odessa fronts were quiet for the moment.
 It was said that the principal fighting was in the Polotsk-Nevel and smolensk areas of the Moscow front and the Novograd Volynsk area of the Kiev front.
 Russian planes continued their attacks on German tank units and on German planes, in the air and aground on flying fields, the cona- munique said.
 Last nights raid brought the sixth air raid alarm of the war here. There had been no sign of German planes during the first i've alarms.
 The German planes found the capital well prepared. Almost every able-bodied man and woman had joined in watch duty on roof tops, in the streets and at entrances to

buildings. They worked under a carefully detailed schedule drafted by permanent house committees.
 Street order is preserved during alarm period by the city police, who now carry rifles as well as revolvers. They are assisted by fully armed units of the peoples army.
 Night Life Went On
 Last nights alarm interrupted a night life continuing normally. Theatres and restaurants would have remained open another hour, until II, had the alarm not been sounded. Dances continue behind screened windows and under dim lights. Traffic has been reduced considerably during the last moorl- less nights. Street cars and buses glide through black darkness until service stops at midnight.
 Policemen effectively take charge of the street patrols. All autonlo- piles and pedestrians who circulate after the curfew hour are halted and the polio eask courteously for credentials. During 10 minute drive from the foreign commissariat to the post office Sunday night this correspondent was stopped eight times. The armed units of the peoples army, civilian clothes, tramp all night alongside the police.
 On Russian Front
 Moscow, July 22 --(UP)-- Soviet forces were reported holding of furious German offensives today and private reports said that Rus sian troops still are in control of the key cities of Smolensk, gateway to Moscow, and Novograd Volynsk on the vital Kiev front.
 The heaviest fighting was In progress, communiQues reported, in the Smolensk, Novograd Volynsk and Polotsk- -Nevel sectors.
 Improved weather was said to have brought an intensification of air action on both sides with Soviet planes concentrating on supporting land troops by bombing enemy communications and troops concen- trations behind the front lines.
 There were said to be no major military operations in progress in other sectors of the front.
 Fighting centered in the Pskov sector of the Leningrad front, the Polotsk- -Nevel sectors of the Mos- COW front and the Novograd Vol- ynsk sector of the Kiev front, the communique said, and there was no heavy fighting at other points.
 It was indicated that the Russian lines were holding firmly as the Germans continued to pour men and machines into the lines in an attempt to get started toward their long overdue objectives.
 Russian airplanes heavily at- tackled German tanks throughout yesterday and destroyed 32 German planes in air fights, it was said. Loss of eight Russian planes was admitted.
 The early comnunique had re- ported stubborn fighting in the Pol otsk- -Nevel, Smolensk and Novograd Volynsk sectors and said that Rus- sian planes continued to attack German tank units and German planes, in the air and aground.

 Authorities were inclined to dis count theory that the girl might have been slain by thieves who were said to frequent the wooded region on the city,s outskirts. They. said, however, that 'petters" had been molested in autos in that section.
 An investigation was made of the story told by John A. Staples, . farmer living near the murder carrying q woman Friday while herding his COWS.
 Investigators were inclined to the theory that the gruesorne Slaying was done by one man, probably a previous acquaintance of the pretty girl.
