The Japanese is not q very tough
opponent as an individual. The
Americans, Australians, British and
Dutch are tougher. Japanese planes
are inferior to the best that the
United States can turn out. And
the Japanese navy, despite its great
victory due to numerical superiority
in the Battle Of Java, Is regarded by
American Navy men as qualitatively
inferior to ours. although this has
yet to be finally proved.
But, said Capt. Felix B. Stump,
who was attached to the Allied high

The japanese forces generally have

Surprise Serimmage
Reveals Flaws in s
Colonial Squad
Baker Also Finds Cause
To Praise; Bernot Hot
As q Line Smusher

George Washingtons Colonials
stepped up the fall football practice
ace yesterday when Coach Johnny
Baker surprised them with a scrfra-
mage session In the morning drill.
The first contact work had been
listed for next week, but Baker, sat
isfled that his charges were In good
physical shape, turned on the heat
earlier than usual.
The Commute scrimmage was
followed by lengthy blocking and
tackling drill at the conclusion of
which Baker had long list Of flaws,
noted in the scrimmage, to discuss.
The predominantly sophomore crew
was ragged in many places. but
Baker had a few words of praise to
pass out. One player in particular
who caught his eye was Joe Bernot,
big sophomore fullback. Bernot
| banged center and hit the tackles
for number of nifty gains.
His showing created a battle en-
the squad for the fullback job. Don
Pinnow is the other leading candi-
date. A passer and a kicker, he does
more things than Bern0t, but Ber-
not's plunging and defensive play
will earn him consideration.
Teamed in one backfield combin-
alton were Pete Labukas at quarter
back; Jim Graham and Paul Weber
at halfbacks, and Bernot at full.
Johnny Pollock, speed merchant Of
the outfit, alternated with Graham
in the tailback post. In the other
backfield lineup, Baker had Bernie
Kolker as quarterback; Frank Seno
and Frank Kley as half backs, and
Pinnow as fullback
The pace was eased for the after
noon workout, with the players in
shorts and shirts for light passing
and signal work Tomorrow morn
| ing another light session is in order,
with scrimmages again in the after
noon.
The arrival of Ellis Hall, senior
guard and letter man, leaves the
squad just one player short. This
missing man is Maurice Hurley, big
sophomore tackle from Farmer City,
Ill, who is expected early this week.

All High Grid Squads
Will Be Out When 5
Start tuesday
Three to Be Directed
By New Coaches, Conn,
CIorey, Mentzer

Capital public high schools which
have yet to start fall football drills
Eastern, Coolidge, Roosevelt,
Western and Tech-will get their
squads out Tuesday morning. West
ern and Tech will begin at $50,
while the others want candidates to
report at 10.
Artie Boyd again will be in charge
of the Roosevelt team and Fred
Mulvey returns to Western, but the
others have new coaches. Gilbert
Conn, who last year was at Stewart
Junior High, will coach at Coolidge;
John Clarey, former George Wash
ington U. player, will handle Techs
squad and Richard Mentzer, former
Penn State. player, who has been
coaching high school football in
Pennsylvania for the last five years
goes in at Eastern.
These last two men, incidentally
have yet to receive their definite
appointments to the physical educa-
ton department, but they are or
the list and likely will be given
official sanction when the Board oi
Education meets late this week. Sc
rather than get too late a start they
have been authorized by the re-
spective principals of the schools te
go ahead.
Conn succeeds Sherman Rees, who
Is in the Navy; Clarey takes over
from Dutch Usilaner, who had three
sports coaching posts last year al
Tech, but this season will handle
only basket ball, and Mentzer sue
ceeds Mike Kelley, now in the
Marines.
This makes four new football
coaches in the public schools this
season as Joey Kaufman, another
G.. W. product, has been handling
the Anacostia football team since
it began drills last Tuesday. Other
schools which began last week are
Central, defending champion, under
John Jankowski, and Wilson under

Gus WEIGH. the. old Carlisle In
dian star, brings an impressive rec
ord to Georgetown Prep School
where he takes over the football and
| other coaching duties when school
opens on September IA. He is sue
ceeding Orrel Mitchell who left to
enter the Navy as a lieutenant.
WEIGH, according to Father Ber-
nard Kirby, S. j., the schools direc-
tor Of athletics, likely will be head
coach of all major sports at the
school, football, basket ball and
baseball.
Played With Jim Thorpe.
A graduate of Carlisle in 1918,
WEIGH played football there for four
years under Pop Warner on the
same teams with the Indians great
star, Jim Thorpe. He earned his
law degree at Dickinson in 1917,
then went to France as a captain
OF infantry during World War I
and served overseas for 18 months.
Returning to this country, he was
football coach at Washington State
College for four years, winning the
Pacific Coast Conference title once.
He later was athletic director at
Randolph Macon College, coaching
practically all sports, including foot
ball, basket ball, boxing, baseball,
track and lacrosse, which last sport
he introduced there. In 1882 he was
at the University of Virginia as as
sistant football mentor and head
coach of lacross.
Gained Fame for A. u.
He went to Haskell in 1884 as ath-
letic director and football coach,
and later came to Washington to
take over at American University,
where he gained that school ma
tional recognition with some of the
football novelties he tried. Among
these was the kicking coed whom
he threatened to use in a regular
game, and a barefoot kicker.
WEIGH resigned from A. U. In
1888 and was succeeded by Staff
Cassell. Since then he has spent

F|aherty Undecided
Whether Todd Will
Be Able 70 Play
Practice Against Foes
Aerial Attack Gives
Hint of Success

Tomorrow nights pro football ex-
hibition in Baltimore between the
Washington Redskins and Green
Bay Packers is regarded by the local
club as its first real test of the
season. After that comes next
Sundays game here with the Chi
cago Bears, following which the
Redskins begin. the, league season
with hopes they can live up to the
prediction that they will be the best
in. the East this season.
Last Sundays tilt in Los Angeles
against the Western All-Army
eleven, a 26-7 triumph for Wash
ingten, didn't turn out to be the
stiff contest expected, yet the Skins
still need plenty of work. This they
are certain to get from the Bears
and very probably from the Pack
ers as well. although the Green Bay
club isn't rated quite as strong this
year as last.
Workout Is Encouraging.
Coach Ray Flaherty devoted much
OF yesterdays light workout to run
ming the Redskins against Green
Bays passing plays. From what
could be judged then the Skins
have a fair chance Of breaking up
the Bays air thrusts.
The starting lineup tomorrow
still is problematical, and Flahertv
probably won't hand out the final
list until shortly before game time.
The rockies are due for a lot of
toll during the game as several are
on the ragged edge and need to be
tested in real games before their
value can be determined. The Red
skins coach likely will begin with
much the same lineup he used
against the Army eleven last Sun
day and send his rockies In 'singlv
as the game progresses.
Some changes will be necessary
because of injuries and illness. Dick
Todd. the fast little halfback who
started last Sunday, has missed
practice for the last two days be-
cause of a stomcah ailment, and
whether he will play tomorrow is
undecided.
I0udS Status Undecided,
Flaherty SO far hasn't announced
that Todd will not play nor who his
replacement would be in such case,
but it might be Rookie Dick Poillon.
a Canisius College product who
played some last Sunday in impress
sive style. Poillon, in addition to
being speedy ball carrier, is some
thing of kicker and a fair passer.
End Bob Masterson is another
of last Sundays starters who prob
ably cannot play, due to a sprained
ankle. Balancing this is the recoy-
cry of Ed Cifers. He was out of
action for about two weeks with a
damaged knee but now is ready for
hard work.
Otherwise the lineup as presented
last Sunday remains in shape. This
includes Bob McChesney,, end; Will
Lie Wilkin and Fred Davis, tackles:
Steve Slivinski and Dick Farman,
guards; Ki Aldrich, center: Cecil
Hare, quarterback; Wilbur Moore,
halfback, and Boy Seymour, full
back.
