 To Turn Pro?

Storrs, Conn.,, Oct. g. (UP)-Walt Trojanowski, unemployed football star who was dismissed from the University of Connecti- cut squad after a tempera- mental fareup, was consid- ering today two offers from professional football teams.
 The big fullback, who was the nations leading scorer last year, disclosed that he had received "lu- crative bids from the Washington Redskins and Miami Seahawks. Troja- nowski worked out with two pro teams before re- porting late to the U-Conn squad this Fall. He also said he may transfer to an- other college since he has another year of eligibility.

Indies Drill At Pass Defense

Coach Angelo Laudisi stressed pass defense, the teams weakness against Torrington ast week, as he sent his Waterbury Indies through a lengthy workout last night at Ham, ilton Park.
 With Dick Kruse and Jimmy Grove doing most of the throwing, the varsity went through an hours drill of knocking down the passes in the secondary. Kruse and Grove completed several long aerials early in the workount but by the itme the team left the field, it had suc- ceeded in batting down the major ity of the losses thrown by the pair.

FiIchock, Stor
 Posser, Leads On the Ground

New York, Oct. 9-(SpeciaD- Frank Filchock, the passing wizard who was expected to make the New York Giants air-minded, turns up in strange role in official National Football league statistics released to- day.
 No better than 18th in his special ty, the former Indiana University star, purchased from the Washing ton Redskins, leads the major league in ground gaining with a total of 191 yards amassed on 21 attempts in two games.
 Filchock became the first ball car- rier to gain more than 8 hundred yards in one game when he contrib uted 108 to the Giants POS in their IT to IA triumph at Pittsburgh. Sev- enty of his total came on one jaunt through the stubborn Steller defense. Five days earlier he had gone 52 yards in one gallop against Boston.
 Merle Hapes, Filchock's backfield colleague in the Giants new stream lined offense, has taken over the scoring league with three touch- downs, giving him two-point ad- vantage over Ward Cuff, another old Giant now operating for Jimmy Con- zelman's Cardinals. Cuffs 16 points have come on seven conversions and three field goals.
 Receiver
 Jim Benton, the elongated veteran from Los Angeles, who finished sec- ond to Don HutSon in receiving a year ago, heads the list of pass catchers and other familiar names appear in the honor spots in passing and bunting, where Sid Luckman of the Chicago Bears and Roy Mckay of Green Bay, have taken up where they left off last fall.
 Runner-up to Luckman Is young Al Sherman of the Philadelphia Eagles, who spent the summer work ing out under Luckmans guidance at Berkshire camp site. Although he has attempted only r passes in two games, Sherman has pitched three touchdowns.
 Bill Dudley, the miniature Nagur- ski, sparkling the Renaissance at Pittsburgh, has staked out an early claim on the annual most valuable player award by earning a place among the leaders in everything ex- cept pass receiving.

NeW HarUard
 Attenuation Stresses POWer

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. e.-CUP) A-Any team that stops Harvard this year literally will have to knock the "L" out of them to do it.
 In fact, the newly introduced "L" formation, featured in Harvard's 49-0 hammering of a bruised and bewildered Tufts eleven Saturday, may mark a milestone in pigskin strategy. It may be the answer of slow, heavy teams to the touch down-sting of the spinning, fleet footed "T":
 The 'L," never tried in college football before this season, occurred to head Coach Dick Harlow last Summer when the affable Crimson mentor was trying to find some way to capitalize on wealth of brawny linemen.
 The Whole Story Is Power
 In a nutshell the "L" is power. It is dependent on a heavy, charg- ing line, but its pay-off punch is delivered in sudden avalanche of backfield runners concentrated through the guard and tackle spots.
 The unorthodox lineup finds the quarterback behind center with the right half to his right, the left half behind him and the fullback in the tail position. Pivoting around cen- ter, the long fluid backfield-after 8 confusing winding and-unWinding process that borders on the razzle- dazzle technique-is geared to strike either right or left i'll heart- break ing variety of smashes and bucks. Any doubts as to what the 'L" does to opposing forward walls may be referred to the records of last Saturdays massacre, especially the opening quarter. Tufts Coach Fred Fish" Ellis made only six replace ments during that period-and five of them were to relieve battered guards.
 The formation was used sparing- ly, and without particular success, againaa Connecticut in Harvard's opening game. But that may have been due to inexperience on the part of the gridders who were testing the 'cL" under fire for the first time.
 Against Tufts 1t was 8 different story. The knots that had made the set-up seem 8 bit sluggish in the Connecticut game apparently had been unraveled and Harvard team generally rated as "good"- became laundering herd against the Medford invaders.
 Harvard is not restricted to the "L". The Cantabs are fair in the TT" and in 8 Dick Harlow adapta- ton of the "T' and single wing They proved Saturday they could strike through the air and around the ends for scores.
 However, it was the mauling body blows through guard and tackle that left Tufts groggy and set the stage for the Harvard tallies. That probably means the pounding "L'' l will be very much in evidence throughout the rest of Harvards schedule.

Next Yonk Pilot?

Boston, Oct. g - Pre- World Series discussion and general baseball talk, prior to the first Boston Series game today, includ- ed the well-baeked rumor that the 1947 manager of the New York Yankees would be Billy Meyers, boss of the Yankees American Association club at Kansas City. Al Hirshberg, Bos- ton Post writer, reports Meyers will be named right after the World Series; has already been selected, but his actual acceptance of the post, succeeding Joe Me Carthy and Bill Dickey de- pends upon his personal health, which has not been good.

Plymouth lighted himself and his mates for nice 519 game to take the final.
 The Machinists with two absen- tees gave the Packers quite a battle thanks to some nice bowling by the Voice. Jimmy Fitzmaurice, one of the leagues real veterans and Tess Holme gave the winners big mar gin in the three game sweep.
 There is absolutely too much ab- senteeism. Drastics measures should be taken immediately to put a curb on these people who stay out hab- itually. There are several on the waiting list who want to bowl if you don't care enough about it to put in 8 regular appearance, kindly drop out, you will be doing the league and your team 8 big favor.

There have been 8 ton of funny cracks about the Cardinal shift when Williams comes to bat, about Theodore's anemic batting average q for D in two games (.143) and Umpire Beans Reardon's job which will get him $750 even if he doesn't t call play; but the plutonium arch supporters go to Dick Daily News) Young, who wrote from St. Louis; after the 80 shutout by Harry the Cat; there Is no basis for the ru- nor than owner Sam Breadon is going to give the Cards USED CARS if they win the series" Branch Rickey's 1946 automobile deal for the players which brought Brother Branch 8 $5,100 cabin cruiser in return, must have inspired MT. Young'S very nifty bon-mot; for those who really know Sam Brea- don of St. Louis who is in the auto mobile business too, say that you couldn't get an inner-tube patch out of him, if he owned all the rub Der in Su1natra. Didn't he block out 100 Purple Heart vets at St. Louis SO he could SELL the seats tor some big game?
 Did you know that the Red Sox 'little professor" Dom DiMaggio, a bit of a goat in the first game when Joe Garigola's fly ball almost hit him on the head, hit .333 at St. Louis 6 for g whereas the heaviest hitter in both leagues Stan Musial hit but III in his own back yard, and that's much worse than Will hans Dave Paris looms as the "key" figure of the series, for ii the Cards beat him in Boston to- day.

 Notes
 Thanks to Jumpin Joe Adamchick and his Clerks who upset the league leading Blankers 2-1, our little B-I pennant race is getting closer than two coats of paint. It wasn't that the Clerks were so hot either, they have bowled better and lost, but Cliff West and Go. were so futile in their first two outings that the White Collar gang even with four men had no choice but to win. The best score the leaders could muster up was 293 total by Margie Rein Shame West) !. Doubtful Dick Graham was practically farmed out to Peoria until he came through with that 1O1 game to help Johnny Verbickas save that last game.
 The Rollers didn't break any rec ord but they broke Benny Stokes back as they handed the Headers their ninth straight setback to slip into a second place tie with the Au- tomatics. Stokes gang could only make a match out of one game which they lost by two pins.
 This Automatic bunch is current ly the hottest team in the league and if Boom Becker and Stompin Steve Jager continue to support Miggles Mendillo the way they have been this laddies is going to be the team to beat. They broke their own team high game last week with 576 score and that is going to stick around for quite 8 while. Squire Ci- priano, horseman and horticulturist extraordinary should show mark ed improvement now that the Fair season is over. The Squire had his heart with his horses and couldn't concentrate on bowling.
 Whether Nick Colangelo was in- spired by his vacation or whether he is beginning to catch on to the art of bowling doesn't matter to ''Smilin Joe" Kowaski as long as the Threaders keep winning. Nick per- sonally led the Threaders to 2-1 win over Gorgeous George Skilton and his Inspectors with IA high single and a last minute spare in the second contest. The Sage of
