Substitutes 10 Fire
With Regulars in
Common Cause
Alley Men Drop Feuds,
Work as Team to
Swell Entry List
By ROD THOMAS.

Bucky Burns and Tommy Nolan,
among the thousands at the Wash
ington Navy Yard carving tools and
producing things to parlay into
defense jackpot for Uncle Sam,
struck keynote last night for the
final weeks drive for entries in The
Stars Defense bond bowling tour
nament, to open Decembe- 8, with
the announcement that the Navy
Yard League would put out 100
per cent in simoleonS as well as
sweat in the general cause.
Burns and Nolan, remembered by
Washington graybeardS as baseball
and bowling stars. respectively. CO.
leaders of the Yards principal duck
pin league. said:
In our league are 90 teams. That
adds up TO 100 regular boWlerS. But
there are 40 or more substitutes. Is
there such thing as 40 per cent?"
Alley Men Agree.
Tomorrow a full meeting of the
Metropolitan Washington Duckpin
Operators Association will be held
and, for the first time in the history
of that organization of criss-crossing
interests, 1t will be in agreement on
one proposition: That every bowler
in the Washington metropolitan
area, regular or substitute on a team.
or with no league affiliation, lay out
greenback for national defense
with square shot at the most al
Turing prizes in the history of the
sport.
In number and sizes, awards in
the tournament, all in defense saw
ings, probably will constitute the
greatest prize list the duckpin
world has known If last years field
of l6903 men and women is equalled
the fund will be Sl6903 in defense
savings. Tops in the mems division
would be a $1,000 bond. 1t might
seem incredible TO some bowlerS,
used to tenspot prizes, that the
lowest award in the tournament will
be s25 bond and in that, the mems
rolloff, will be no less than IS of
these. provided the 1910 entry OF
l6908 is matched.
Bowling Army Has Grown.
There are many more bowlers
now than year ago. The prize
fund will be based on number of
contestants with IS cents of every
entry fee going into the kitty. The
other two bits will fall into a fund
to pay for the games of those who
qualify for the roll-off.
Last year the field included rough
" two men for every woman, and
calculations for the 1941 tournament
give the skirted bowlers prize list
half as large as the males. with
$500 bond as the capital award.
Square Shot for All.
Girls and guys, if you care to
spend a buck to buck up defense,
with an even-up chance TO Sweeten
the baby's shoe fund. examine the
code of this tournament.

Georgetown
Continued From Page C-1)

But the Musketeers stood their
ground at that juncture. repulsed
three running plays and forced a
kick.
GEORGETOWN was bottled up in its
own back yard throughout most OF
the afternoon as Xavier, unfolding
a bewildering assortment OF forma-
tions and plays that included every
thing but a bicycle act, outgained
It by almost to l on the ground.
The Hoyas were superior in the air,
but only between the 30-yard lines
with the exception of the pass to
Pavich.
Surprising. too. was the effective
manner in which Xavier's line stood
I'D under the terrific pounding OF
the Hova forwards. The MuSketeer
forwards came in low and subma-
rined the foe while the ends usually
were able to ward off Would-be
Georgetown blockers and turn in
the running plays.
Georgetown repeatedly resorted
to its spread formation in an effort
to crack the defense. but Xavier
beat that, too, by shooting Hnemen
in fast before the blockers could
mow 'em down.
Blozis Has Tough Time.
Big Al BloZis had a tough day.
In the first half, Xavier seemed to
take particular delight in running
plavs at him and making them go
for stable gains But Al spent a
large part of his time in the Cincin-
natl backfeld in the second half,
although he didn't make many
tackles.
Mutrvn and his mates were so
small. so fast and so elusive that
Blozis simply couldn't cope with
them. They ran under him and
around him and although he slowed
them up considerably, they still got
eUav from the secondary.
Xavier took advantage OF fum-
hle 10 launch its first touchdown
drive. The Hoyas had the ball as a
result of Pavich's recovery of Hmm
ler's niscue on the Musketeer 40
and they tried to land a knockout
nunch. but it backfired when Dorm
field, supposed to dart around left
end from a reverse, fumoled the
pass from Erickson and Helmer re-
covered for the enemy on the 80.
From there Mutryn and Himmler
went through the line on Splnners
for a first down before Mutryn broke
away and ran TO Georgetowns 80
He faxed a pass and galloped to
the II before tossing a short one to
Stan Ense for yards.
Mutryn Goes 65 to Score.
Mutryn then broke through CEN
ter for a first down on the 3 and
while everybody was watching for
his next move Xavier slipped the
ball to Himmler, who ran wide
around left end from a reverse and
virtually strolled over the goal line
Dornfeld had driven Xavier back
to the 17-yard line with another
of his long, well-placed punts be-
fore the Musketeers got their scor-
ing machinery in operation again. A
pass was good for first down on the
80 and Mutryn tried the line once
more for 2 yards. Then he sliced
off tackle, cut toward the sidelines
faltered momentarily as Jack Doo-
Ian. fastest man in the Hoya back
field, dove and hit him at the ankles
then continued on for 65 yards and
q touchdown.
BY its victory, Xavier kept alive
It's hopes of winning a bid to the
Sun Bowl game in Ell Paso on New

BY TIE Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. %. - Johnny
Grodzichi if called on to prove he
was the American Associations lead
ing pitcher in l941. could point to
two significant items in the official
pitching records released today: He
had the highest victory percentage
and the lowest earned run average.
The big Columbus riehthander
cannot claim the most wins His
total of 10 was exceeded by Team
mate Murry Dickson's 81 and by the
20 turned in by Ray Starr Of In
dianapolis. But Dickson lost II
games. six more than Grodzicki
and had an earned run average of
$50.
Starr. loser Of IS decisions, allowed
3.43 earned runs a game.
Dickson led the league in strike
outs with l53 but also was high in
the issuance of bases on balls
with l24.
Starr, workhorse of the Indianap-
oils hurting staff pitched the most
innings, 273, and faced the most
batters, 1,025.

Fish do not have eyelids, and for
q simple reason-they live In the
water and the water keeps their eyes
moist.
Most kinds of land animals have
eyelids. The main purpose OF the
lids is to guard the eyes from dust,
or anything else which may come
into them. One way the eyes are
guarded is by blinking the lids;
this spreads a bit of moisture over
the surface. You and I blink our

-Four eyed fish? Yes. that's what
they are called. They live down
around South America, and are

Four-eyed fish are from 6 to 8
inches long. They live chiefly in
salt water, but sometimes go into
rivers. One place where they are
found is Surinam. or Dutch Guiana,

other strange forms of life.
