NEW YORK, Oct. 2-The gee-gees
are drawing a $50 100000 gate" to
Belmont Park today for the biggest
show in turf history-Uncle Sam
gets the whole pot.
There's all kinds of icing on the
cake, what with the $4,000 Futurity,
the 100000 Gold Cup two other
$4,000 sideshows and old Earl Sande
and Exterminator coming back to
the races. But the tall guy with the
Whiskers and the striped pants is
the big winner. because everybody
showing up at the huge horse park

George Hughes as expected was
che big noise for the Johnnies with
his passing, running and kicking. On
defense, his No. 88 Jersey was in
practically every pileup. Among
other outstanding Johnnies were
Hughes backfield mate, Tommy
Hook, and Tony Vaniglio. a big
tackle who personally took care of
half the President line.
The first period was scoreless, but
after that the Johnnies marched
across the G. w. goal twice in every
quarter. Hughes scored no touch
downs himself. but threw passes for
scores to Emmitt Pacetti and ANDY
Hayden, while Hook crossed the
line twice. once on a l-yard buck
and again by slicing Is yards of
tackle. .rE
Although pushed around pretty
freely, the Presidents never gave

ankle.
I'm sure Musial didn't hurt him

HIGH SCHOOL SERIES.
BY GEORGE HUBER.

BY GEORGE HUBER.
With the surface hardly scratched
in the 1943 high school football
series. the preseason dope is all
crossed up and likely to remain in a
jumbled condition the rest of the
way. Central. defending champion,
and Tech, runnerup last year, are
at the bottom with two straight de-
feats. while Coolidge, given bare
mention as dark-horse possibility,
leads the loop.
Anacostia and Roosevelt were to
meet today at Central Stadium in
the spot game of the week, and an
Anacostia victory would complete
the picture of upsets.
Speedy. shifty Addy Bassin, too
light to be taken seriously as foot
ball player previously, and Dick
Bergman good plunging back,
were the big guns yesterday that
helped Coolidge rise to the top with
a l2-0 victory over Tech. At the
same time. Wilson'S power, smoth-
cred by the Colts the previous week,
finally was unleashed to complete
Centrals downfall as the Tigers
gained 26-0 triumph That was
the worst licking handed Central in
a series game since 1884, when Tech
won, $50.
Wilson Still Contender.
Barring big reversal of present
form, Central and Tech can be con-
sidered out of this years champion
ship picture, leaving the others to
scramble for the title. Wilson, de-
spite its loss to Coolidge last week,
again must be regarded as a top
contender, having displayed a va
riety of attack and a capable de-
fense, especially in the line, yester-
day.
Basins breakaWay running and
Bergmans line plunging featured
two Coolidge drives into Tech ter
ritory during the first half. but it
wasn't until the third period that
the Colts finally were able to cross
the Maroon goal. Basins 55-yard
dash set up the first score. He was
stopped on the Tech Is and the Ma
rooms took over after Tiny Webb's
attempted field goal went wide. A
Maroon tumble. however, put Cool
idge right back on the 10-yard stripe,
and Bassin shot pass to Paul Sickle
for the first score
John Scullenbarger intercepted a
desperate pass by Techs Bill Piker
in the closing minutes to lead to the
other Colt marker. Schullenbarger
was tackled as he took the heave,
but he lateraled to Charles Green
baum who carried 80 yards to score
Tech made no serious bids for a
tally, although Red Bladen made a
few gains early in the first half.
