Owner Richards was attempting

$4,000 for his star.
Nagurski generally is considered
the greatest power football player
Of all time.
Bronko-he was so christened-
was so big-235 pounds-that he
couldn't get down very far. So he
ran high and over would-be block

bowled over blockers and ball-car-

Nagurski knocked out more foot

also could crack 'em.
The Bronx once stretched three

Rooney sat on the bench, he'd turn
the other way when The Bronx
swung into action. Rooney couldn't
bear to see what The Bronx was
doing to his noble athletes. When
The Bronx left the premises, some
one would nudge Rooney and he'd
turn around again.
Nagurski went to Minnesota as q

Three colleges to carry out q foot
ball schedule this fall, was primed
today for the opening game tornor-
row against the University Of
Muhlenberg Mules, formidable OUT
fit composed mainly Of Navy and

This will be Muhlenberg's first

CARDS the impending clash as one Of
the toughest Of any Of the Eli OPEN
ing games.
Wayne johnson, former Har-
ward funback and booting expert,
was expected to be in the starting
lineup, along with Ed Strype, former
Columbia tackle. Ray Scussel, hail
ing from University Of Connecti-
cut, and heralded by Odell as "an-
other Clint Frank" appeared assured
OF o backfield spot at the opening
whistle.
Capt. Tim Hopes was at his
usual backfield post, and expected to
lead the aerial assault-heavily
stressed In practice against the
Mules.
At center will be George HUI.

GEORGIA Tech
SOUTHEASTERN
GRID STANDOUT
BY JACK WOLTsTON

ia JAOA WO4A04O
UNITED Press Staff COrrespondent)
Atlanta, Ca. Sept. 10.--(UP)-The
ramblin' wreck Of George Tech,
fired by talent-laden Navy via
unit, should roll easily to the South
eastern Conference title and high
ranking among the nations war
time football elevens this fall.
With only four Of the original IL
conference schools fielding teams,
the preseason picture Is the clear
est In years. Georgia Tech stands
head ana shoulders above the field,
threatened only by Tulane. They
were the only two conference schools
blessed with Navy aid.
Louisiana State Georgia must de-
pend mostly on freshmen and, at
best, are expected to be only nledi-
OGRE.
Veteran Coach Bill Alexander lists
81 men on his current Georgia Tech
roster. He can field an experienced
line averaging 200 pounds and a
backfield spanked by Eddie Prokop,
stocky triple-threater, who helped
the yellow Jackets roll over Notre
Dame last fall. Molding his 25th
Tech eleven, the willy Alexander has
converted Ed Ryckeley, o regular
guard last year, into q back. Ryck-
eley, O star sprinter, has been out
standing In practice.
Plenty Of Help
Two Navy men, Tex Ritter and
Charley Harrison, both former VAN
derbilt players, are backfield stand
outs. George (Mutt) Manning, one
OF the best pivot men in the con-
ference, win anchor the forward
wall There are 81 candidates, most
ly experienced, to aid him.
At Tulane, Cloude (little Monk
Simons has two returning letter
winners, tailback Joe Renfroe and
tackle Howard McAfee. His Navy
Via unit includes Buddy Gatewood,
all-southwest center at Baylow last
fall. Simons has more than 80
men on his squad. However, most
are short on experience and there
Is a definite shortage Of back. The
most promising ball carriers are
Renfroe, James jackson, frosh full
back at Baylor in 1912, and Day
Wagner Of Schreiner Institute.
Louisiana state stacks up as the
better Of the two Navy-less schools.
The Tigers have shree lettermen re-
turning-Steve Van Burn, Joe Ma
gaia and Mill Montgomery-but
otherwise their claws were pretty
well clipped.
Slnkwich Gone
Georgia, which climaxed the 1912
season by defeating UCLA In the
Rose Bowl, will return with a team
composed entirely Of freshmen. And
none Of them resemble All-Ameri-
can Frankie Slnkwich, who doomed
Georgia football stock the past sew
eral years.
Georgia Tech probably plays the
most rugged schedule Of the four
It's 10 opponents include North Car
DINA. Notre Dame, George Navy

New York, September 10. - Cup
- The hard bitten baseball world
mellowed toward President Horace
Stoneham Of the New York Giants
today in appreciation Of his grand
gesture in signing popular Mel OFT
for three more years as player-marl-
ager Of the Polo Grounders.
Young Stonehan, who could have
tried to make OFT the goat for the
Giants worst season in Al years,
went about In absolving the d.
minutive hobby horse slugger Of any
blame. Instead Of firing OFT or
handing him one-year contract,
StonehaIn gave him guarantee OF
three more years.
OFT. serving his 18th season with
the G!ants, was joyfully surprised
at the length Of the contract. He
said, boy, I'm certainly happy
about this. In fact, I'm happier
than when I was first made mana
ger OF the club"
Did he get a raise?
Mel couldn't talk about that. But
1t Is generally believed that his
annual salary Of $4,000 was boosted
to $4,000.
VIII he continue to play right
field next season, despite the fact
that In the later stages Of this cam
paign illness has forced him out OF
the lineup most of the time?
Sure, I'll play" OFT declared,
during at chat at his hotel. "1'm
only "a, and I've got two or three
more good seasons left In me.
II had to leave the field recently
because Of stomach trouble - what
the doctor called q toxic condition
Too much bile. While I've been out
we've been giving Charlie Mead Of
Jersey City a try. But I'll be back
in right field next season, II I'm
needed; ! like to play, you know"
What are the Giants plans for
next season.
I'VE won't be In last place next
season." Mel said. were going to
do enough rebuilding, so that Wen
wind up at least in the first division.
But, for gosh sakes, don't quote me
as predicting a pennant."
Everyone was mighty happy and
relieved over the OFT contract be-
cause 1t was feared that little Mel
might be made q victim by the
Giants front office, which has been
under fire from sports writer's and
fans for many weeks because Of the
Polo Grounders poor showing. Even
OFT, despite II previous seasons Of
magnificent service, was booed one
afternoon. But New York sports
writer's stampeded to his rescue and
dashed the short fans who
had given him the Bronx cheer.
OFT, who reported to the late John
McGraw Of the Giants as a l6-year-
old catcher in 1925 and was convert
ed into a regular outflelder in 1925,
became manager of the club in De-
cember, 194l, succeeding Bill Terry.
In this first season at the helm, he
brought the Giants home in third
place. But now they are last-41 Ia
games behind the leading Cardinals.
