Air-Minded EIevens

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. Sept. l5.-Two
somewhat aerial-minded football
elevens-North Carolina State and
Davidson College-are getting ready
to rip the war-labeled wrapping off
the Southern Conference gridiron
package at Wilmington, N. c., Sat-
urday afternoon.
The seasons inaugural likely will
produce something of passing duel,
with Davidson's Mac Bruce, 155-
FOUNDER from Greenville, S. c., and
States Art Faircloth, 190-pound tall
back from the Nations Capital.
Saturdays show may be another
chapter in last years game between
the two clubs, when they battled to
a 6-6 deadlock. 1t was the first time
in five years that State hadn't won.
Yesterday both teams concentrated
on defense.

up on pass defense in an effort to
halt the razZle-dazzle tosses Satur-

pleted Is aerials against the Cob
blers the past two years.
South Cardinals Gamecocks
drilled in blocking, and the backs
led by Ken Roskie, Glen Rice and
Mouse Halsall, staged a long kick
ing session.
Wake Forest, where Bernie Capps,
veteran end. reported for the first
time this year, worked on punt re-
turns, while the North Carolina Tar
Heels devoted their attention to de-
fense and the weak spots which
flared in Saturdays scrimmage with
the Navy Pre-Flight Reserves.
Coach Eddie Cameron put the
Duke Blue Devils through light
passing practice. Bobby Rute, Tom
Davis and Buddy Luper were par
ticularly effective on the passing
end, while Bob Knatt, Ernie Beamer
and Ralph Morgan, all ends, starred
in the receiving department.

Size, Ring Vile Favor
Baksi in Bout With
Parks Tonight
Potent Right Gives D. c.
Heavyweight His Lone
Chance Of Victory

The odds may be on Joe Baksi to-
night when the Wilkes-Barr heavy
weight answers the bell for his
10-round bout with George Parks,
but wad of smart money will be
riding on the local lads potent right.
Baksi is the pre-fight favorite
because of his size and experience.
He's had many more fights than
the Negro slugger and, regardless of
what weights are announced at the
ringside, will have a comfortable
edge on the scales, and those factors
may be decisive.
Parks only hope appears to be
based on a quick kayo. He can't
take it in the breadbasket and
lays himself wide open to serious
trouble when he tries to cover this
weakness. But when he has the
other fellow on the run he's bad
medicine.
Baksi isn't a great puncher nor
even good one. II he had packed
a kayo wallop he would have dis
posed of Jimmy De Chard the eve
ming he gave the one time District
contender such a shellacking at
Riverside Stadium. AS it was, he
had to travel the full distance against
a fighter strictly on the defensive
from the second round to wind up
with decision.
Baksi takes punch pretty we'll,
and probably will be able to absorb
couple of Parks best shots without
getting in a jam. AL Reiss, it will be
remembered, took everything the
colored boy had and still was on his
feet when the fight was halted on a
tko. Parks. too, didn't have to take
the punishment from Reiss he is
liable to get from Baksi.
Three six-round bouts and as
many four FOUNDERS complete the
card, which will get under way
at $50.

Probably Tops Nation
In Buying Equipment
To Toughen Boys
r. System Takes Awoy
Drudeey From Come,
He Tells Writers
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

1--WE won't have a first-class team
at Maryland" confessed Coach Clark
Shaughnessy, because our line Is
too light. Well do all right, though,
We're going to put on good Satur-
day show and our boys are going to
get some fun out of playing football,
We're not retrenching at Mary
land due to the war. Curley Byrd
has instructed me to tougher the
student body-to have the boys
ready to aid the war effort when
they leave Maryland. Football is
the best way I know of doing that
and consequently we probably have
bought more athletic equipment this
year than any college in the
country"
Explaining the fundamentals of
the highly publicized "T" formation
to group of sport writer's yesterday
at the Touchdown Club, Shaughnessy
said Quarterback Tommy Mont and
Fulback Jack Wright give MARYLAND
a wonderful start toward successful
employment of the ct"
SdlZcS NATURAL IdI64itS,
Wright would be good football
player with anybody's team" ex-
planned Shaughnessy, "but We don't
ask our players to do everything well
We try to capitalize on the one or
two things player can do. At
Stanford the only thing Pete
Kmetovic could do was run, but my
hew he could run.
''As tailback with any other
good college football team frankie
Albert would have been put on the
third or folrth team and forgotten
He fitted into the TT perfectly at
Stanford, though, because he was a
great actor and fine ball handler
He had imagination and he used
1t to fool the opposition.
II believe players get more fun
out Of the TT formation, providing
the material warrants the use of
the system. A player who can't
block isn't asked to block. I feel
boys don't learn anything after
they've been knocked around all
afternoon, so we don't do much
scrimmaging. After the season
starts we won't scrimmage 10
minutes all year.
Shoots for Long Gains.
"We say to heck with picking up
5 or yards at a time and expend-
ing a lot of energy doing it. We
want 80 or 40 yards at a clip. We
might not get it on the first two
plays, but we might click on the
third and go for touchdown"
Shaughnessy is capitalizing on the
presence of the Chicago Bears to
improve the Old Liners For my
money the greatest guard who ever
lived is Danny Fortmann of the
Bears" says Shaughnessy, and yes
terday Fortmann was helping him
at College Park Also toiling with
the Old Liners were Tackle Joe
Stydahar and Quarterback Charley
ORourke of the Bears, most stylish
employers of the ct"
Colonials Are Speeding Up.
Coach Johnny Baker is continuing
to drive his George Washington
squad. On Saturday Baker sent the
Colonials through lengthy scrim-
mage, but continued the heavy work
yesterday and the G. w. squad was
slated for another scrimmage today
The Colonials are nursing numerous
bruises and cuts, but the only player
out of action is Guard Bill Hicks,
nursing a damaged shoulder.
At Georgetown Coach Jack Ha-
gerty is bearing down on the Hoyas.
Georgetown's opening game with
Temple is only 10 days away and the
Hoya reserves still are struggling
with their assignments.

Pittsburgh Will Send

By LEWIS r. ATCHISON.


Andy Farkas won't be ready Sun
day when the Redskins square off
with Pittsburgh in the opening
game of the National Football
League championship race, but
scout reports on the Steelers indi-
cate the Tribe can better afford to
have him miss this one than some
of the tougher games coming up

Strapped and cushioned against
more pounding on the injured rib,
busy Andy probably could be used
briefly, but if Dick Todd is okay
Farkas will warm the bench and
get thoroughly rested for the New
York Giants week later. Todd's
trouble is painful Charley horse
which should be cleared up in a
couple of days and when the half
pint Texan is right there is no need
to worry about running the ball.
He attends to that chore nicely.
Skins Take No Chances.
Coach Ray Flaherty had the
braves out for an airing yesterday
while the annual picture taking
rite was performed at the stadium,
but more serious business was on

but has found some consolation in
the thought that a break or two

the tide in Washington's favor last
Sunday.
AS for the miscues, we'll, suffice
1t to say that those who made them
have been told the cause, effect ano
remedy and you can look for i'm

Pittsburgh doesn't shape up as
much of a test for Washington, but
Flaherty is prepping for it as keenly
as though it could spot the Bears

1t by four. Actually, the Bears

Must Check Crow Menace.
We should not count upon nature
being so bountiful every year, so
hunters would do we'll to hold well
within the limits set for this years
shooting. We cannot take unthink-
ingly else we will find the regula-
tions becoming tigher instead OF Civ
ing us further leeway. There is
enough, and more, for every one Of
our million and quarter wild
waterfowl hunters, If they will insist
upon sportsmen's bags.
While this years crop of water
fowl was the largest in many years,
there was some loss due to the very
thing that made it possible. More
nests were lost through flooding
than in any year during which there
is a record and the loss through
| predators was so heavy that some
thing must be done to correct the
condition before another nesting
| season.
The crow isn't pest in many sec
tions of the United States, but ir
Canada he accounts each year fol
nearly an eighth of the waterfow
crop. That is far too much and can.
not be wholly stopped by the bounty
paid by Ducks Unlimited to farm
boys for a kill that each summer
totals several hundred thousant
black egg-thieves. American hunt
ers must help by hunting migrating
crows as hard as they hunt migrat
