SIowdown Unexplained

The showdown has not been eX-
planned by the union. II was said
at JAW headquarters that Rich
ard Leonard, head of the Ford
local. was in Washington for wage
hearings before the War Labor
Board. None of the other union
leaders would comment on the
comparative figures.
There were no changes in de-
s'ons. materials or methods be-
tween the two periods. And the
speedup since Pearl Harbor has
not helped the situation, new fig
ures show. A study of soaring, a
rolling mill operation, made at
the end of May. shows that the
operation which took Sl4 minutes
in March, 1871. was taking 1851
minutes in May of this year.

Hoya backfie|d
Ail1ng a Month,
Now at Peak
Burrett and DornfeId
To Oppose CoIonioIs;
Erickson q Threat

A senior backheld that hasn't
functioned together for a month due
to injuries will be started by Coach
Jack Hagerty of Georgetown against
G. w. U. on Saturday at Griffith
Stadium and with the return to
duty Of Johnny Barrett and frankie
Dornfeld the Hoyas will pack their
best punch.
Barrett was injured in the Detroit
game of October "a and week later
Dornfeld was on crutches, the re-
suit of a cash received in the Bos-
ton College rout. That wound re-
quired nine stitches and kept Dorm
field out of action in the N. c. Navy
Pre-Flight and N. C. State games.
When Georgetown had that back
field intact it was rolling along
smoothly, whipping Temple, Missis-
sippi and Manhattan and tying Au-
burn. Then came injuries to Bar
rett and Dornfeld, and the Hoyas
dropped three successive games-to
Detroit, Boston College and N. c.
Navy-for the first time in 10 years.
Erickson's Kicking a Threat.
Those four seniors likely are to be
joined by four others in the starting
lineup against the Colonials. Hag-
erty has admitted he will start all
the seniors he deems advisable and
among those expected to open are
Guard Tom Ponsalle, Tackles
George Perpich and Stan Jaworow-
ski and either Ed Derringe or
Whitley Erickson at center. Ross
Sorce, 265-pound tackle, who also
is a senior, will not play due to a
fractured jaw.
Should the game develop as a
closely contested affair Erickson
may provide the winning margin
for the Hoyas. In eight attempts out
OF ten this season he has booted the
extra point for Georgetown, ana his
field goal provided the Hoyas' 81
margin over Manhattan.
Erickson has kicked five success
slve points after touchdoWns, four
against N. C. State and another
against N. c. Navy re-Flight. In
his only attempt against Auburn he
missed, but on that occasion George
town had been penalized yards.
He missed after Georgetown's touch
down against Manhattan, too, but
that field goal erased the sting.
Gyorgydeak Won't Idle Long.
Bouncing back to the backfield,
Agnew will start at quarterback.
but the game doesn't figure to be
many minutes old before Joe Gyor-
gydeak will be rushed into the
fracas. 1t was Gyorgydeak who
spanked the Hoyas to their 1920
victory over N. G. State, completing
IL OF 10 passes, scoring three touch
downs and otherwise conducting
himself spectacularly.
Georgetown will be striving to pre-
serve its unblemished record against
the Colonials Thirteen times the
Hoyas and Colonials have faced and
the worst Georgetown can show for
it is one scoreless tie. In the mod
ern series Georgetown has had no
easy time of it, though. being held
to TO and 30 scores before wallop-
ing G. W., $50, last year.
Hagerty and Coach Johnny Baker
OF G. w. will discuss the game to-
night in a transcribed interview
with Sportscaster Hugh Guidi over
Station WINK at 11:05.

Old Liners Toss Out
". and |. Record in
for Game
Recall Troubles Of Last
Two Years When They
Were Heavy Choices

Maryland is supposed to crush
Washington and Lees Generals on
Saturday at College Park and prob
ably will but Coach Clark Shaughn-
essy of the Old Liners has examined
the record of the past two seasons
and has discovered little reason to
ease up on his eleven in workouts
Shaughnessy is intent on climax
ing, Maryland's season with a
seventh victory in nine games, the
most successful Old Line year Stree
1887, and he's toiling overtime in an
effort to prevent an upset.
In 1910 Maryland was a heavy
favorite to spank Washington and
Lee but on that occasion the Old
Liners were forced to drive 81 yards
in the final four minutes to earn a
TT tie Last year Maryland again
was installed prohibitive favorite
but Tommy Mont's third-period
touchdown provided the 60 margin.
This year Washington and Lee has
defeated only Hampden-S Sydney, but
last week it gave dangerous David
son eleven a stirring session and
Shaughnessy has a suspicion the
Generals may come up with their
best game Of the year against Mary
land. -.
Coach Jerry Holstein of the Cen
erals yesterday ran his team through
the longest practice session of the
year in preparation for Maryland,
concentrating on hating Maryland's
T formation.
Six Washington and Lee players
will be performing for the last time
in college game. Tackles John

Fitzpatrick and Back Teddy Ciesla

Maryland's Homecoming game will
celebrate the 50th anniversary of

will be colorful ceremonies to mark
the occasion. There will be parade
between halves, with floats illustrat-
ing student projects, and Maryland's

Georgia Tech Rates Him
As Equal Of Sinkwich;
Next z Tits May Tell
By the Associated Press.

i, By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Nov. 18.-Can a fresh
man football star make al-confer-
ence?
That's the question being kicked
around Southeastern Conference
gridiron huddles today - and the
little guy they're talking about is
Georgia Techs pint O. magic, Can
nonball Clint Castleberry.
Tech partisans rate him equal to
Georgia's frankie Sinkwich, argue
that he should not only make ALL
Southeastern but All-America as
we'll Whether he can match the
fireball may be determined 10 days
hence, when Tech and Georgia clash
in what promises to be a national
championship game at Athens.
If the slender southpaw fires
Tech to a convincing victory over
Georgia-as he did against Alabama,
Duke, Navy and Notre Dame-he
certainly will be doomed for ma
tional recognition, regardless of his
freshman status.
Unusual is Castleberrys brilliance
as a defense player. He personally
prevented at least two Alabama
touchdowns by sensational leaps to
bat down forward passes. He brought
down big Joe Domnanovich, Ala
bama center, on Techs Is after
Domnanovich had intercepted one
of his passes.
In earlier games he helped beat
Notre Dame at South Bend with a
touchdown pass to Pat McHugh.
Against Navy he sprinted 80 Yards
with an intercepted pass to score a
touchdown. Against Duke he set
up a touchdown with a 21-yard
southpaw pass to Jack Marshall.
Against Kentucky he scooted 40
yards to enable one touchdown.
But will his brilliance earn him
a place on the mythical all-confer-
ence team? No freshman ever has
made all-conference or all-America,
and it was extraordinary last sea-
son when South Cardinals great
back, Stan Stasica, made the South
ern Conference all-star team as a
sophomore.
His performances against Florida
