BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON.

Conserving their meager supply
of bottled-in-bond backs, old pre-
war stock, will be one of the Red
skins major problems as they fare
forth this week for three noncham-
pionship games in 10 days.
Coach Dud De Groot and other
members of the board of strategy
seemed satisfied with the progress
achieved in three weeks of inten-
sive schooling in the T at George
town, but the squad Is far from
letter-perfect. And in striving to
master mental intricacies physical
conditioning has been overlooked to
some degree, and the Skins may
have to pay a costly price in the
games Immediately ahead.
Although Joe Ungerer has made
admirable progress shedding surplus
avoirdupois he's still far from his
proper playing weight. The bal
loon around Frank Atkins tummy
hasn't been punctured and Jack
keenan,, who parted company with
an impacted wisdom tooth the other
day, hasn't gained any speed over
last year. These are random ex-
amples, but it is in the backfield
where lies the board of strategy's
principal concern.
Has Only 10 Backs.
De Groot has a meager supply of
10 backs for a tough 15-game sea-
son. AS whole they look good,
but the injury bugaboo constantly
will be before the coach's eye. The

Entries for Muny Links Title
Tournament to Close TODAY

Entries are to close today with
Telford Gibraski for the District

Potomac Park, scheduled to start
September 10. AS always, some post

an attempt to make this one a real
District championship, has an
nounced that the tourney will be
open to members of country clubs,
and probably will follow that policy
in future municipal affairs.

Andrews Field Laces
Cameo, 10-2;; PAGES
Sand|ot PIayoff

Andrews Field moved to the fore
in the battle for city sandlot base
ball honors yesterday, clubbing
Cameo into submission, 1912, in a
mild upset on the South Ellipse. 1t
was the Army Flyers second
straight win and Canoes first set
back in three games.
Cameo and Vint Hill, Andrews
remaining rivals in the title tourney,
will battle it out at l 80 pm. today
on the South Ellipse, the winner
meeting Andrews in the second
half Of a twin bill scheduled for
$3.50.
In the event that Andrews loses,
the series finale will be played to-
morrow on the same diamond at
S pm.
Bill Syring moved down Cameo
with an Shit brand of pitching
yesterday and was well night invin-
chile after an unsteady first inning.
Passes to Thomas and Powell, with
singles by Simonds and Brother
Love and Elmer Raba's infield out
Sandwiched in, accounted for the
losers two runs in the first.
Tex Williams started for Cameo
but withdrew under fire in the third
after yielding a total of three runs.
Jack Barry, who succeeded him,
caught the brunt of a 4-run attack
in the fourth, however, as Andrews
put the game on ice.
Syring helped win his own game
in the fourth, adding his single to
those by Zaludek, Stewart and
Chase. Whips error ON Mcleod S
grounder helped the cause along.
Jim Mills, who raped out three
hits to share batting honors with
Stewart, collaborated in a brother
act in the sixth, tripling after Joe
Mills singled.

shape, especially since headwork
rather than footwork has been en-
phasized since the start of training.
They'll need all three games coming
up on this trip to help whip them
into condition and every time they
step on the gas they'll court disas-
ter. 1t isn't a very bright outlook.
Johnny Adams apparently has
clinched the starting left tackle
berth, although currently nursing
set of bruised ribs. With Earl
Audet spelling him off the Skins
will be particularly tough at this
spot. Ungerer seems to be tops at
light tackle, although both Pop
Sharpe, greatly improved over last
year, and rookie AL Lolotai are
pressing for recognition
Zip Hanna, living up to his nick
name, is leading Keenan, at one
guard and Marvin Whited fitted in
the opposite side as though manu-
factured for the berth. Ray Bedore,
greatly improved over last year, will
back up Whited and Reid Lehman,
the big rookie, will alternate be-
tween the two positions.
Ernie Barber is coming along
slowly at center and Jim Watson
has the edge at that position, but
Prexy George Marshall has a long
memory that conjures up pleasant
images of Jim Barber, Ernie's older
brother. He feels that If Ernie is
only half as good as Jim was the
Skins have valuable football
player on their hands. Thus, while
Ernie isn't getting by on Jim's
reputation it isn't hurting any.
Ernie seems to have a lot of Jim's
characteristics and they were all
good.
The backfield may be reshuff1ed at
any moment. Mike Micka threatens
to chase Atkins out of the left half
berth and both Bob Sneddon and
Wee" Ananis are flirting with Will
bur Moore's place. It's going to take
a lot of playing to get Moore out OF
there, however.
Sam Baugh and Frank Filchock
will give the Tribe good coverage
at the key quarterback position and
Larry Fuller will be ready to relieve
Bob Seymour as soon as he brushes
up on his open field running. He
gets through quick openings in the
line with no trouble because of his
speed and size-they can't see him
half the time-but his open field
running leaves something to be de-
sired.
Millner Wears Well.
How DeGroot can keep Millner
on the bench, if he wants to, will
be interesting to see. The one time
All-American looks as good as ever.
He doesn't drink or smoke and never
has strayed far from perfect con-
dition and 1t wouldn't be surprising
to see him switch to right end to
start with Joe Aguirre. Meanwhile,
Les Dye, Doug Turley, Tom Miller
and Larry Weldon are waging a
free-for all with not much to
choose between them. Weldon has
done surprisingly well although
shuttled back and forth between
the backfeld and end, and Turley's
stock is well up over last year.
Nobody needs be reminded how
well old "Gluefingers Les" Dye
hangs on to passes and Tom Miller
seems to be good all-around end.
The squad leaves Wednesday at
8 pm. for Cleveland. meeting the
Rams Friday night. 1t ties in with
the Bears at Chicago the following
Tuesday and then goes on to Buff
falo for a test with the Cardinals.
From then on the football season

Parker Yet to Lose Set.
Parker, whose tennis has a de-
ceptively smooth style, hasn't
dropped a set SO far in the tour
nament, but he never came closer
than he did against Cooke. After
taking a drubbing in the first set,
the one-time Oregonian who never
- has ranked higher than sixth ma
tionally, discovered the tactics that
might have won for him with a
little better execution.
Cooke pounded away at Parker S
forehand-still his weakest spot
until he found an opening to rush
the net and score with cross-court
placements or accurate drop shots.
But just when he was about to
cash in on these tactics, Elwood S
own game would crack against Par
ker's steadiness.
He was one point away from win
ming the second set in the 18th
game, but fubbed return of a
spinning drive and then double
faulted. Frankie went on to win
that game and the next two. In
the final set Cooke took a Sd lead
by breaking Parker's service, but
Frankie ran him ragged across the
baseline to win the next three. Cooke
outscored Parker on earned points
In each of the last two sets, but
also made more errors.
