Harvard pens Grid Practice

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 30.-(UP) -Harvard's informal wartime foot ball squad opens practice here to- day for a season in which few games are scheduled but which may see sort of scrub game against the traditional rival Yale.
 Duration Coach Henry Lamar will greet a group that includes several collegiate players now enrolled in Navy VIZ courses and a number of schoolboy stars.
 Only players with whom he is fa- miliar are backs Lloyd (Swede) An- derson and Paul Perkins, and tackles George Hubbard and Steve Mallett, all of whom had hit-or-miss experi- ence last season.
 Todate only scheduled games arc Tufts and service team from Camp Edwards. Possible games are with Bates and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. None of these teams are normally scheduled.
 Harvard expects to field two teams A and B-the former to play the collegiate groups and the latter to meet prep school team or two. Un- dergraduates will pay nothing for seats but other fans will be charged 50 cents with no reserved seats-a slight difference from the golden pre- depression days when seats on the 50-yard line brought $6.6O each.

PILOTS CONFAB
 CALLED T0NITE
 FOR g O'CLOCK

The On To Youngstown financial campaign to send the Washington Hills, City Amateur League baseball champions of 1943, to Ohio next month to compete in the National Amateur Federation Tournament officially got underway this morn- ing.
 Drive headquarters are located at 140 South Main street and Police Commissioner Wendell L. Cross and Real Estator Daniel T. Harrington Jr., are serving as co-chairmen. Thomas F. Moore of the Citizens and Manufacturers National Bank is treasurer.
 Tonight at g o'clock all league managers and executives will con- vene in the Republican sports de- partment to outline plans for the trip and to hear a financial report of the league season which was brought to very successful close yesterday afternoon. Tie financial picture will be painted tonight by Treasurer Johnny Rock.
 Pat Cutters Hills proved their championship mettle yesterday by defeating Johnny Towards Sacred Hearts, 2 to 1, in game which went seven innings by agreement. Base hits were as scarce as butter, the winners making three, one more than the losers.
 The league champs got off to an early lead with a run in the second frame. Paul Razor Doran walked with one away and Latino singled him to third. Both runners perfect ly executed a double steal and Paul scored the first tally of the game.
 The Hearts evened matters in the third on fielder's choice and costly miscues by Franny Fahy and Jackie Travers. The champs bounced back with the third and deciding tally of the game in the fifth. With Fahy on second Pitcher Ray Decker of Bridgeport rapped terrific ground- CT along the first base line which rolled into right field for two bases, scoring the Hill first sacker. Travers, winners shortstop, got two of his teams three safeties off Bill Adams, one of them being a triple which was wasted. Lynch and Shedrick were the only Hearts able to touch Decker for safeties, both of them coming in the fifth. Decker had the better of the pitching battle all the way flaming seven to Adams one and giving up but one base on ball as did his foe.
 The score by innings.

Schultz Is Unusual for Superstrueture;
 Basketball Increased Skill as BoI-HondIer, But Court Game Is Risky for BoseboIl Player
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Shorts Editor

New York, Aug. 30,-Howard Schultz, an imposing addition to the Brooklyn skyline, quickly made the incredible Flatbush filberts for get old Dolph Camilli and quit pla- carding Branch Rickey.
 FolioW1ng 8 spectacular bow against Morton Cooper and the Car dinals, 1t was Howie Schultz prac- tically alone who drew 14,OOO peo- pie to Ebbets Field on a plain Tuesday afternoon. After the base ball writers hurled the book of su- perlatives at them, the Brooklyn faithful couldn't wait.
 Schultz, six-foot six-and-a half inch first baseman, is an unusual superstructure because he has body balance.
 Most altitudinous athletes are either too awkward or slow or both. Babe Danzig, towering first base man, was employed sparingly in the majors more than quarter of a century ago, but managers finally gave up on him. His size made him to clumsy.
 If Schultz keeps going-and he gives every promise of doing just that-he will be the most notable exception since George Kelly, who was almost as tall.
 Schultz, who was Stretch in St. Paul and the minors but who is already Dutch here, has a tremen- dous advantage Long George lack ed. The tag and signs of awkward ness are not upon him. Kelly had to withstand abuse and ridicule while outgrowing awkwardness be- fore he made them like him as the successor of the incomparable Hal Chase with the Giants.
 Wally Pipp and Hank Greenberg were exceptionally tall first base men, but they were athletes.
 A ball player can stand nine feet nine provided he has coordi- nation.
 Pipp was an all-around athlete. Greenberg was corking basketball and soccer player. Red Rolfe played basketball well. The ball-handling of Lou Boudreau is attributed to his basketball playing at Illinois.
 Schultz was capable basketball player at Hamline College of Minne- sota, ana that helped his agility and ball-handling.
 Basketball is a fine game for the development of hand and eye, but 1t Is risky for ball player. Arms are yanked. Players stop too suddenly in all positions. Shoulder tendons snap. Arms go wrong. Knee in- iiIries ara common
 Branch Hickey warns Brooklyn prospects against basketball just as he and all other builders of baseball clubs urge them not to play foot ball. Hickey should know. -ie coached the court game at Ono Wesleyan Allegheny College and had a hand in it 4" intramursl ath- ktics at Michigan.

Frankie Karvelis. former Crosby ace, hurling g seven inning shutout for the Hill Juniors in defeating the Phi Lambdas yesterday afternoon, 4 to 0, at the Municipal Stadium in a City Park League tilt. Not one of the Lambdas nicked him for a safe- ty and only g men faced him.
 Nick Masi, former twirler of the Avigs of the City league, opposed him, but was battered for six hits, one a double by right fielder, Mo- Carthy. Pandolfo, winners shortstop got three for three while Mccarthy got two for two.
 The Overlooks defeated the Tro- jan Lads in the other game, 2 to 5, authough the losers outhit the winners, Il to T. The first and sec ond innings in which six runs were pushed over were enough for the Looks ot win. Kolesnik was charged with the loss though he lasted but an inning and two-thirds.

COSTA FAVORED TO TEACH WOOD
 LESSON TONITE
By JACK FROST

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Boston, Aug. 30.-(UP)-Tony Costa, one of handful of food featherweights still in the ring and the logical challenger for the New England crown, returns to the squar- ed circle in Providence tonight to open the regions weekly boxing bonanza.
 Concluding a brief and welcome rest, Costa was favored because of his excellent counter-punching style to halt the aggressive but unfinished Irish Bobby Wood of New York City in 10 rounds.
 At the moment Costa's principal problem is finding suitable oppo- nents. Former New England crown holder Maurice Gefty) LaChance passed up textative return match with Costa to fight NBA champion Phil Terranova in none-title bout,
 LaChance holds a disputed de- cision over Costa. A return meet ing between the pal would be nat ural with the winner meeting New England champion Sal Bartolo. A third fight might see that winner meeting Terranova for the cham pionshir.
 Perhaps the second best fight of the week also comes tonight at West Springfield where Charlie (Dixie) Davis faces Joey Peralta in re- match. Davis dropped close de- cision previously and is out for re- venge. AS rather doubtful incen- tive, the winner is to meet Tommy Jessup of Springfield, whose litter was somewhat tarnished when he was knocked out by Ike Williams
 This same Williams fights tomor- row night at Hartford, Conn, in what looks like an easy win for him. His opponent is Johnny Bellus of New Haven, Conn.
 The rest of the weeks fights are good but not brilliant. Pat Demers of Brockton should high ly tomorrow's eight round co-fea- ture featherweigft matches at New B.dford. On the same night Port land, Me, has double-eight show in which former Rumanian welter- weight champion Milo Theodorescu is the feature.
 Al Costa, the other fighting Woon- socket, R. l., brother, should have little trouble in his home city We'd nesday in 10-round tussle with tough Bobby Klaus of Buffalo N. Y.
 Frankie Nelson of Boston, clamor- ing for a shot at the New England middleweight crown held by Coley Welch, faces Art France of New York City at Fall River on Thurs day. Nelson has heen coming along rapidly and has gained sufficient recognition nationally to rate him among the first 10 middleweights.
 Al Freda of Worcester will defend his honor at home Friday against Joe Lemieux of New Bedford.
