YALE SATURDAY
FOR BASEBALL

New Haven, Conn, August 26. -

meet the Eli Summer baseball team.
In a 27-year span the Crusaders
have beaten the Bulldogs 20 times,
while Yale has pinned ten defeats on
the Barry coached teams from Wor-
cester.
All In all, Barry has the most I'M
pressive coaching record of any COL
lege baseball mentor, and his outfits
have amassed the staggering total
of 403 victories while losing only II
contests with five others ending up
in ties.

Bridgeport.
The shortstop on the club is Ray
Miner of Meriden, while the cap
tain, Bill (Buster) Mills, now clout-
ing at a neat 800 average, has been
the varsity catcher for the past
three seasons. The battery of

of the best In the nation In college
circles.
Rolfe will lsend younf Ed Machaj
to the hill in an effort to throttle
the big bats of the Crusaders which
have pounded out 20 runs this sea-
son.
The year taht Barry became coach

- Holy Cross handed Yale pair of
defeats, although the next year the
Bulldogs won one of the contests,
9 to 7, while dropping the second
to 2.

HARDER hot AS
COLLEGE B OYS
ROUT REDSKINS
BY TOMMY DEVINE
nited Press Staff Correspondent


| Evanston, ILL.,, Aug. 80 (UP)-
Harry Stuhldreher, who should have
been happy, was a trifle sad today
after watching his college all-stars
score a smashing, q to Z victory
over the champions of professional
football
The University of Wisconsin
coaching genius watched his team
overpoWer the Washington Redskins
at Dyche Stadium last night in the
annual preseason classic. 1t was
the first all-star victory since 1898,
and the third the Collegians have
won since the game was inaugural
ed 10 years ago.
But StuhISreher's elation was
tinged with melancholy because of
the identity of the burly youngster
who led the Collegians to their up
set victory. He was Pat Harder of
the Marine Corps, stationed at
Paris Island, S. c.
Harder IS a Stuhldreher protege.
AS sophomore he led the big ten
in scoring and in yards gained. Last
season his great plunging helped
the Badgers to a brilliant campaign
and second place in the conference
season.
An-America Timber
In normal times the 190- pound
Harder would have been back with
Stuhldreher for his final season of
Collegiate play. But "plunging Pat"
| left school last April and joined the
Marines. BY his performance last
night he indicated clearly he has
lost none of his all-America pos
sibilities.
Harder scored two of the all-stars'
four touchdowns and converted two
of the three extra points. He led the
ground gamers with SO yards in II
ball carrying efforts, and as line
hacker he repeatedly piled up the
running game of the Redskins.
AS rugged as an army jeep and
with as much driving power, he
scored his initial touchdown in the
second period to break a to tie.
With the ball on Washington's Sc
yard line, he took a six-yard pass
from Glenn Dobbs of Tulsa and
sprinted the rest of the way to score.
In the fourth quarter, Tommy
Farris, another Wisconsin luminary
who was quarter backing the all
stars, caught the Redskins asleep
and sent Harder away on weak
side play for 80 yards and another
score.
But Harder wasn't the entire Of
fensive dynamite OF the All-Stars.
He had able support from Bob
Steubner of Missouri, who account
ed for the Collegians first touch
down, and Otto Graham of North
western, who scored the third mark
err
Steuber's touchdown came on
beautiful SO yard punt return, while
Graham set an All-Star game re-
cord when h raced Sc yards with
an intercepted pass for his tally.
One-Man Team
Washington's only score and most
of its offense was wrapped up in
Sammy Baugh's passing. AS the eli
max of 7l-yard drive that started
late in the first period and carried
through 20 the second quarter,
Baugh tossed a six-yard aerial to
Joe Aguirre for the Redskins only
marker. Bob Masterson added the
point Baugh completed % out OF
Al passes for gain of 273 yards
How much of Washington's offense
that represented is indicated by the
fact that the tribeSmen gained only
62 yards by rushing.

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Aug. 26-(UP)-Major
Harry Hank" Gowdy, fresh from
GoWdy field, FIT. Benning, Ga, said,
II advise all baseball players in ser
vice to play as much as possible
while in uniform. 1t makes them top
attractions in exhibition games for
service men; meanwhile preventing
them from thinking about losing
their playing edge"
Gowdy, one of the most popular
men in sports, gives his advice with
the benefit of two wars to back it
up.
The Major was better known as
Sergeant Hank" in the first world
war. In which he was the first
Major league player to enlist.
With the Rainbow Division, he
fought at Chateau-Thierry and
other hot spots. He was graduated
quickly from a catcher with the
Boston Braves to a pitcher of Lead
en- Hail against the enemy of that
day.
Major GoWdy is now in New York
to manage today's service team,
Camp Cumberland, Pa, against all
stars of the Yanks, Dodgers and
Giants--the three Metropolitan
clubs--to help in war bond sales.
The Major AID recent coach
the Cincinnati Reds said that "al-
though my entire career has been
devoted to baSeba l, know and you
first.
Up To Washington
whether we have baseball next
season depends entirely upon our
progress in the war, and the import
ance which the war department be-
lieves the sport lays in upholding
civilian morale. About the future
of the game--the men in Washing
not know far better than I. But I
can advise the Major and Minor
league players to keep their hand
in 1t makes them better soldiers
now, and better players when the
war is over"
Gowdy explained that at FIT. Ben
ming, baseball is the big sport. They
have four leagues there. OF those
four circuits, the infantry school
league is the best, and he as spec
ial service officer at the fort is par
ticularly interested in that league.
The other leagues include Cd arm
ored division, (2) colored troops,
and 90 post players
Gowdy said that men now in SER
vice look to baseball--as played in
the Major league or at camp--for
diversion.
During Gowdys two-year sojourn
abroad, he inadvertently advised an
officer at Chateau De Forest to don
a gas mask because he was in
badly gassed area. The bare headed
officer tossed off his suggestion. But
Gowdy wasn't miffed because his
mates said, That's Macarthur for
you'll"
About today's game, Gowdy said
81 never saw this tea n before, but
we should do okay, because l under
stand we've got good pitching"

Yale football team buckled down
to brass tacks yesterday and the
heavy worker got under way in
preparation for the season open
err September II In Yale Bowl

lentown, Penn.
Back in the fold was Thomas
Tiger" Smith, a regular guard
last year as a freshman who I'M
til this time has been playing base

Smith. who is only 10, was fine
ban in 1912 defense play and carved
another niche for himself in pull
ing out of the line on offense and
clearing the way for ball carriers
with savage blocks.
Trouble Ahead
Head Coach Howard Odell is by
no means taking the opener with
the Mules lightly as AL Julian,
Muhlenberg's mentor, has wealth
of material and the majority Of
the boys have plenty of football
experience behind them.
In addition to veterans in key
posts, Julian has been aided by
flock of Viz Marine trainees now
stationed at the collyege including
Frank Killian, guard with the
Crimson Tide of Alabama in 1912.
Omer Elan, a rangy center who
was a Buckeye Conference stand
out while playing with the crack
Marshall club, one of the tough
