Aging Wright Meets
Young Costantino
In Title Scrap
Feotherweight Grown,
New York Version,
Risked by Vet
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The April
and October of boxing's feather
weight division - Charley Gulu)
Costantino of New York and Albert
(Chalky) Wright of Los Angeles
meet in Madison Square Garden to-
night in the first 126-pound title
fight in that arena since Henry
Armstrong donned the crown five
years ago.
The title at stake is only the New
York version, as the National Box
ing Association recognizes Pitts
burgh Jackie Wilson as champion
but it's quite a valuable commodity
to Wright.
The Chalk, of course, represents
age in this skit. No one knows just
what age, for Wright has been
claiming for several seasons to be
"just 3O."
Lulu, just 81, is regarded as one
OF the smartest boxers in the class
In addition, he has stamina, while
in recent bouts the spring has ap-
peared to 60 out of Chalky's legs in
few rounds.
They clashed in an eight-roundel
few months ago and although
Wright got the decision, Costantinc
was in command in the closing
rounds and Chalky barely was able
to stay on his feet.
The betting is to in favor oi
Costantino.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 25.-Navy
is battening down the matches for
one of the stormiest football cruises
the sailor gridmen have been asked
to take in many year.
Minus nine of last years starters,
already riddled by injuries to key
players and striking out under a
new coach. Navy opens against pow
erful William and Mary here tomor-
row afternoon.
Pessimistic Comdr. John E. (Bil-
lick Whelchel, inheriting only six
experienced players from his prede-
cessor, Marine Corps 1t. Col. Emory
E. (Swede) Larson, won't say much
about the future.
Prospects? We have no pros
poets. We've just got nine walloplng
football games that must be played. ="
Has Settled Upon Lineup.
Although Navy opens Saturday
against a versatile and powerful
William and Mary, Whelchel figures
there'll be new faces in the Middies'
starting lineup every time they go
to the post
Losing two classes by last years
graduations, We just haven't any
veteran material worth talking
about" he asserted. Navy will draw
heavily upon reserves throughout
the year. The reserves who look
good will be promoted swiftly"
Whelchels forces were increased
in number when the Naval Academy
decided to permit plebes to partici-
pate in varsity sports, but the
doughty coach isn't admitting he
has been helped any.
However, two of the youngsters

ing Of the membership. Johnston
claimed he had given the commit
tee plenty of time to refuse his en-
try. but had not heard from them
and considered their refusal to an
swer letter an invitation to play.
Meanwhile Indian Spring officials
gave Johnston the use of the course.
Johnston Withdrew.
But Johnston. advised of the &C
ton of the PGA, did not play the
final round in the 36-hoie affair,
despite a first round IS. The boy
was sincere in his attitude, and took
his medicine. But the pros were
adamant. They didn't want him
to play and that was that.
Cox, leading almost from the OPEN
ing gun, was the whole show. Cliff
Spencer, the tall man from Bal
timore. got away to a great start
with q first nine of 32 but faded
on the final nine of the first round
for SO and 10, while Cox, play
ing the mines In "a and IS, coasted
to first round of SO, and led by a
stroke at noon.
The chase for the title lay be-
tween these two with nine holes to
go, as Spencer pulled level with
Cox and went stroke in front at
the 28th hole, where Cox three
putted. But Witty, clinging like
cellophane tape to his par schedule
ploughed along, and Cliff went over
par, dropping behind at the 14th,
where he took a bogey 4. Spencer
still had chance at the long 10th,
but there, with daylight fast fad
ing, he took 6. And he missed a
short one at the 18th for his par.
Here is the way they finished, and
the money they won:

Redskins Need More
Ground Deception;
Big Risk Seen
Would Be Just Another
Football Team With
Sammy q Casualty
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.


Sambo Baugh, the -heelee
kid from Texas, will assume the
added role-and burden-of a run
ming back Sunday when the Red
skins tangle with the New York
Giants in their first clash of the
season at Griffith Stadium.
This is only one of several inno-
vations Coach Ray Flaherty is max
Ing to assure his old buddieS of a
warm welcome, although most of it
comes in the broad category of secret
stuff-not to be revealed until Sun
day. But for a hint as to what's
cooking we can report that Ed JUS
tice was noted throwing passes in
Yesterdays session although not
very successfully. Things like that
certainly will confuse everybody
including the Redskins.
Flaherty's decision to use Baugh
as a ball-toter skaters one of the
Tribes fine, old traditions and lays
the team open to the grave danger
of his injury or even loss later on
when the league is beginning to
warm up in earnest to the title race
But the coach's action is prompted
by good, sound strategy and should
pay handsome dividends.
Wants More Deception.
For one thing, Flaherty is seeking
more deception in the ground at
tack and Baugh is a cardinal factor
in the case. He is responsible for
the Skins fiat, dull style to some
extent because every time Sammy is
in the tailback position the enemy
knows he is either going to pass Or
kick and it usually knows which it
will be. His only chance of crossing
'em up has been on quick kicks and
that is dubious brand of strategy
at best because you lose possession
of the ball.
The Redskins have hesitated, nay
have refused, to let Baugh lug the
leather because of the constant
threat of injury. Washington with
out Baugh pitching would be like
hot cakes without sirup-digestible
but not very appetizing-and with
out him the Skins would be just
another pretty good football team
With Baugh in the lineup the Tribe
can score on single play, but with
him on the bench experience proves
1t is long, tedious process.
Ignore Sam as Runner.
More and more the Redskins rivals
have ignored Baugh,s ability to run
the ball, fading back and tanning
out to cover potential pass receivers.
The result has been drop in the
number of passes completed. Know
ing that Sambo was under strict
orders rot to run the ball, unless
he simply couldn't throw it and had
q clear avenue to the goalline, the
opposition has paid more and more
attention to the receivers and COW
cred them like the well known
blanket.
Last weeks game with Pittsburgh
marked the nadir of the Tribe S
fortunes in this respect when the
Steelers dropped seven men into
the backield to guard against his
passes, leaving only four in the line.
1t is such stuff that Flaherty wishes
to avoid and with Sammy free to
throw or 60 as he sees fit, you can
wager the Giants won't try the
Steelers' tactics Sunday At least
they won't get away with it.

Subs Play Heavy Roles
In Victory by 48 to 0
Over Mount Vernon

Westerns 48-0 football victory
yesterday over Mount Vernon didn't
prove the Red Raiders a gridiron
poWerhouse, according to Coach
Fred Mulvey. The game was so
sided it didn't prove much of
anything, he added, but it did give
him a line on the potentialities Of
some of his reserves.
Most of his first stringers came
through as expected during the
short time they played and Mulvey
also was pleased by the work of
several substitutes whom he now
feels he can use with more fire.
quency. Phillip Talbot, reserve
back, was outstanding and kicked
three of the extra points. Another
sub living up to Mulvey's hopes
was Francis Bolac, small lad who
was real thorn in Mount Vernon's
side and tailed two of Western S
touchdowns. Doing most of the
work, though, was Duke O'Connell,
but this was no surprise as he is
one of Westerns aces from last
years squad.
O'Connell tailed three of the
touchdowns, while the other two
were by Don Hilleary, fourth of the
long line of athletically inclined
Hillearys at Western, and Alex
Papanicolas.
In the line, Mulvey particularly
was gratified by the work of his
guards, both the starters, George
Neam and Gordon Alexander, and
