Briefly, the Tribe strategists want
to make another Don Hutson out of

Redskins hope to gain full advan-

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Mike
Jacobs Is a New Jersey tulip grower
with an ambidextrous ability as a
fight promoter, and today he was
busy with both hands.
With one. he was showing a pen
into Billy Conn's duke" trying to
get the Pittsburgh pretty boy to
forget his "beefs" and sign on the
dotted line for return go with
Joe Louis. With the other, Mike
was holding an auction" over the
site of the Louis-Conn nose -mash-
ing.
With this left-handed job, Uncle
Mike was trying to tell you how the
s3,000,0 900 taffy-pul next June would
go to the place we'll get the most
money" He carefully explained how
Philadelphia and its huge municipal
auditorium and Chicago and its wide
stretches of Soldier Field were run
ming neck and neck for the big pot,
and he was open to all offers.
But around Jacobs beach, the
wild waves were saying that the
Windy City would have to put up
the loop and the city of brotherly
love would have to give up Billy
Penn from of the top of City Hall
to get this tussle out of Yankee
Stadium, N. Y, when post-time rolls
round.
The only thing standing in the
way, according to the beachcombers,
was the per cent 'bite" New York
State puts on fight movies. Other
States. with stiff tariffs, were said to

was considered likely Pa Knicker-
booker would throw a big pitch to
hang onto it, and would not let
comparatively small change Thu
barb" like the movie money stand in
the way. PA" still remembers the
howl that went up when the Demp-
sey-Tunney doings went to Philly.
And Mike still has to do business in
this village after the Louis-Conn
festivities.
AS for getting Conn to sign up for
the fuss, Mike had session lined
up today with the legal member OF
Billy's f1stic family, as a followup to
the hour-long bowling party he had
with Billys manager, Johnny Ray,
yesterday.
Johnny, making his first New York
appearance since Billy was belted
out by Joe in the 18th round in June,
l94l, told Mike the contract, as far
as he was concerned, was about as
valuable as watered oil stock. His
chief objection was to the clause
that said the late Army corporal
couldn't have an exhibition or tune
up appearance before the big beak-
busting party.
Johnny wants Billy to have three
tuneups in the bushes before he steps
out there to try to do what he al
most did the last time he said howdy
to Joe. And when Mike tried to tell
him that Louis signed without ask
ing for any tuneups, Johnny ex-
planned he wasn't managing the
Bomber, and for Jacobs to take that
up with Joe.
That was Johnny's only holler
over the contract yesterday, but the
chances are his legal "mouthpiece
will give him something new to stew
about today before he finally signs
as peaceful as you please. You see
one of Johnny's joys of life Is to
steam Uncle Mike up very warm for
October.

In Fl. Worth Clash

The top rung of the ladder in
the Army Air Forces football con-
ference is getting to be a crowded
place, but the situation should be
clarified somewhat this week when
two of three leaders meet in Fort
Worth, Tex.
They are the 4th Air Force FLYERS
of Los Angeles, with two loop wins,
and the Training Command Sky
masters of Fort Worth with one
league victory.
After that battle the winner will
be tied for first place with the Sd
Air Force Gremlins, who have two
triumphs.
While the Flyers and Skymasters
are kicking the ball around the
Gremlins will be in Tampa, Fla,
playing outside the league with Fort
Pierce Naval Amphibs.
The battle between the Skymas-
ters and the Flyers is expected to
be plenty tight. Last week the Sky
masters walloped the Rockets in
Nashville. Tenn, IA to 0, and the
Flyers vanquished st. Mary's Pres
fight, 20 to Z.
Two other league tilts are on tap
Sunday.
The Rockets clash with the 1st Air
Force in Holyoke, Mass. 1t will be
their second meeting of the sea-
son, the first at Nashville ending in
TT tie.

see the I'd Air Force squared off

THE league is going through a

continue to f1uctuate from Sunday

Tennessee-'Ba Til
Likely 10 Pave Way
To Bowl Contest

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 1S.-,
Two perennial powerhouses of
Southeastern Conference football,
Tennessee and Alabama, meet here
Saturday with the conference title
and postseason bowl bids possibly
hinging on the outcome.
AS usual, both are unbeaten and
united at this stage, and both are
prime contenders for the South
eastern Conference championship.
Every winner of the Alabama
Tennessee game since 1886 has par
ticipated in post-season bowl game
and both teams were in bowls after
their 1912 and 1914 games.
Last years game at Knoxville was
a 90 tie, and the Tennessee Vols
went to the Rose Bowl. Alabama,
defeated later by Georgia, was a
Sugar Bowl participant.
The teams are studded with vet
erans, and both are rated stronger
than a year ago.
Alabama has been made slight
favorite.
Other conference games include
the annual LSU-Georgia contest at
Athens, which may have consider
able bearing on SEC honors this
year, and Georgia Techs trip to
Baltimore for an effort to make it
two straight against Navy.
Auburn and Tulane will try to
break into the victory column
against each other at New Orleans;
Florida meets Miami at Miami Fri
day night; Mississippi State faces
the EFTC Eagles at Starkville and
Kentucky and Vanderbilt are oppo-

three hours yesterday and spent all
most two hours In a chalk talk. In
Pittsburgh the board of strategy
toiled until In Monday reviewing
Eagle game films, working on new
offensive plans and figuring ways of
mending holes in the Tribes defense.
There will be no letup in these
feverish preparations until Saturday.
Both Sammy Baugh and Frank
Filchock will find themselves up
against a worthy strategy in Sun
days duel, and we don't mean zim-
norman or another Eagle signal
caller. They'll be matching wits
with old Greasy Neale, crafty
football general of the old school
who still likes to wigwag signals
from The bench. Beating the Eagles
actually means beating IL men,
counting Greasy.
Neale also operates on a theory
totally different from the Redskins.
His principal is to work with a
limited number of plays, but to have
them down so well the squad can
walk through them in its sleep. A
tough rascal with only fair material,
Neale is tougher than ever this year
with some of the leagues top talent.
You can toss out last Sundays upset
because that happens to the best
of them
Redskins Constantly Change.
| The Redskins, on the other hand,
are following Clark Shaughnessys
strategy of constant changes. 1t is
system calling for tremendous
f1exibility and mobility. Whereas the
Eagles will rely on a few plays with
every man doing the same job over
and over, the Redskins will use
couple of hundred variations with
each assignment changing on each
play. 1t requires a shrewd, far
seeing quarterback to make 1t work
and when player is matching wits
with Neale he can't afford to make
mistakes.
The Redskins are trying to get two
men ready for each position Sunday,
but the new wave of changes will
make it tough to meet the Eagles
challenge.

The batting average of this al
legged expert in picking the winners
of high school football games is not
what it might be tthe prize boner
was picking st. Johns over Coolidge
last week., but with one of the best
scholastic grid week ends of the
year coming up, we can't resist
going out on that limb again. Here
goes with tomorrow's predictions:
Western at Eastern-A repeat Of
last years championship finale,
when Eastern took the title. Eastern
has three boys from the 1914 back
fleld, Sonny Settle, Jack Bobb and
Bobby Lyles. Western has but one,
Don Lichty. Eastern has power, ex-
perience. Western has speed, de-
ception. Choice-Eastern.
Coolidge at Roosevelt-Coolidg is
one Of 1945's biggest. best teams and
in comparative showings against st.
Johns the Colts appear to have
the edge. Roosevelt is light, green,
but spunky. Choice-Coolidge.
Dewitt Looks Ready.
Dewitt at Georgetown Prep
Dewitt is beginning to roll after
that smackover by Gonzaga and
has power to burn. Dewitt also has
Gene Gould, all-high star at West
ern last year, in the backfield.
Choice-Devitt.
Woodward at Friends-This is
Woodward's first year on the grid
since 1912 and Friends is its first
game, but Coach Sandy Rodgers
seems to think he has a winner.
Choice-Woodward.
Wilson at George Washington
Wilson seems to be the most under
rated team in the area and may sur
prise the fans before long. George
Washington was licked by little
Fairfax. Choice-Wilson.
Blair at Fairfax-That surprising
Fairfax eleven that whipped Massa-
nutten, George Washington and Be-
thesda just can't be stopped, and
it's Blairs first year in football.
Choice-Fairfax
st. Adams at Bethesda-That all
southpaw backfield at Bethesda
proves too much for most of the
elevens the Barons meet. Choice
Bethesda.
Falls Church at Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon perennially turns out
fighting teams. Falls Church is
heavy in the line. Choice-Mount
Vernon.
Some Saturday Choices.
And here are Saturdays selec-
tions:
Tech at Central-This annual
feud has been going on since 1902.
Central has won 20 games to Techs
18 while have been tied. Last
year Tech triumphed, 7-6, a dupli-
cation of Its 1943 win when the
Maroon scored its first victory since
1896. While out numbered in games
won, Tech has outscored Central
over the 43 years, 1863 points to 332
Central.
Pennsylvania Prep at Landon-
The word is that Pennsylvania is
loaded and Landon will have bat
tie on its hands. Choice-Penn-
sylvania Prep.
Episcopal at st. Paul's of Balti-
more-Episcopal is swapping back
after that defeat by Tech and ap-
pears to have too many guns for
the Baltimoreans. Choice-Epis-
copal.
On Sunday Gonzaga goes to Balti-
more to tangle with Charlotte Hall
There is rejoicing in Swampoodle
this year over Gonzaga's great team
and there should be more rejoic-
ing Monday morning. Choice
