Hardness Of Shields

Grid Practice
Line Coach Due Any Day.
Droft Fear Brings
Many Shiftines

Bill Reinhart hopefully continues
his experiments with George Wash
ington's gridmen, all the while
awaiting Gene Shields arrival from
the Northwest Pacific so the Colo
mails can move into high gear.
Shields, who proved his ability as
a line coach during his first two
terms at the downtown school, was
due here last Monday and his pro-
longed absence is retarding the
squad seriously. Reinhart, however,
Is confident the missing staff men,
Der will be here within a day or two
to get the ball rolling at top speed.
The daily shifting of players con-
dnues and for q meaningful pur-
pose. The Colonial coach still fears
the draft will get one or two of his
men and doesn't want to get caught
short with no reserves. That's why
Bill BesS has moved from center to
end to fullback, Mark Frederick
from center to end, Ted Hapanowicz
from center to blocking back and
Edsel Gustafson from center to end.
He also has had Mike Monchlovich,
a center, at end and Stan Ziobro, a
guard, at the other flank.
Reinhart quite possibly will allow
the players to settle into their new
positions beginning next week when
the deck thoroughly and finally will
be Shuff1ed. He's been unusually
successful with similar experiments
in the past. Sam Babich, captain
last year, ended his career as a
quarterback after starting out as an
end. Then there is the case of Tim
SWEET, who started as a fullback,
went successfully to tackle and end
and could play any position.

whether the boys were overawed by

II is no secret that Georgetown
has not looked good since the start
of practice. The blocking has been
negligible. eVterans who should
know what they are doing have
missed more assignments than a
college freshman can count. Men
on whom the coach counted to make
up for some deficiencies caused by

lot of golf and not only at East
Potomac Park.
Some of the boys at the down.
river course are saying that he is
better than Claude Rippy, who is
generally regarded as the hottest
golfer ever to hit the public links.
That at present is stretching the
point fairly far, for although Dick
is good player. it's doubtful if he
is as good as the Ripper at the
time Rippy won three public links
titles and retired the first Leoffler
Trophy. Jennings may, however,
develop into another star such as
Rippy. And he has more power
from the tee than Rippy ever had.
More power, indeed, than almost
any other amateur around town,

Tennessee, the big scrapper of

some of the other boys going into

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Sept. 19.-
Yale tried to give football back to
the players this fall, but couldn't.
So it's doing the next best thing

The Ellis, responding to widespread
alumni clamor for abolition of side
line strategy by paid coaches, Of
fered to Danish the professionals to
the stands for at least one contest
and put all the responsibility in the
hands of team CAPTAINS, but couldn't
find a cooperative rival.
AS for the sophomores, there Is
an old football axiom that nobody
can predict what last years fresh
man star will do once the chips are
down. That just about supplies the
answer to any question about Yale's
outlook this season.
Coach Is Not Gloomy.
But, if Emerson (Spike) Nelson,
the first non-Yale graduate to be
head coach at Yale, is dismayed over
the prospects, there isn't any indi-
cation of it. One reason may be
that last years freshman squad was
the best in some time and 81 men,
bers of it form nearly half of the
current Blue ensemble.
Another is that the boys are going
to be completely relaxed. If they
win only one, they'll have equaled
last years all-time record-and
what a recordl
If they nab two games they'll have
broken the record and with three
victories they'll have practically a
triumphant SeaSon-all on the basis
of 1940's seven defeats out of eight
