Football Drills BEGUN
BY 6. W. High and
Washingfon-Lee

Washington-Lee Of Arlington and
George Washington of Alexandria
the two big high schools in nearby
Virginia, began football practice this
week and already the gridders there
have donned pads and helmets and
started banging heads. Both will
scrimmage early next week to get
ready for early opening dates.
Washington-Lee's Generals play
the first of II games on September
20 and the Presidents of Alexandria
open on Friday night, September 13.
The Presidents, incidentally, will
have new stands for this season. A
steel frame job now is being installed
there and seating capacity will be
1000 compared to the $500 that
could be accommodated by the old
circus seat bleachers. Theirs is the
only high school stadium in this Sec
ton equipped with lights for night
games.
General Regulars Back.
Coach Harry (Pop) Demming at
Washington-Lee has his usual big
squad on hand and it's likely the
Generals will come up with another
of the well-drilled power teams for
which they are noted. Regulars
from last years team on hand are
Jack McGill, end; Jim McMurrer,
guard; Nelson Harvey, center; Ro-
land Thompson, tackle; and Aub-
rey. Holsinger. Dickie Lewis, Roger
Groettum, Bill Hayes, Shorty Wool
schlager and Bill Henry, all backs.
Other lettermen are Ed Fowler and
Dick Reamer, ends; John Dawkins,
Jack Sieber and Robert johnson,
tackles; Bill Heintzelman, Jack
Schwartzman, Ed Holley, guards,
and Jerry Fields and Jim Curry,
backs.
Later the squad will split into the
big team and the junior team, with
the Juniors too playing as tough a
schedule as can be arranged as one
means of keeping flow OF expert
enced footballers coming along for
the Generals. This, plus the junior
high school system Of teams in Arl-
ington County, is one reason for
Washington-Lee's consistent success.
go Aspirants at G. w.
George Washington, under Coach
Paul Mackey, has so aspirants on
the field, with John Blanchard,
blocking back on last years all-high
team, and Lee Hanback,, a talented
passer and kicker, as standouts.
Ken Fones, another veteran half
back, is back to strengthen the
Presidents along with Dan Dudley
and Ed Callahan in the line.
Prominent among the newcomers
Is Bob Hannah, a halfback who
transferred from Wyoming. He's big
and fast and stands a good chance
of breaking into the starting lineup

Skins VIII Beat Rams,
Edwards Predicts;
MiIIner 10 Play
BY Lewis F. Atchison
Stor Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.-"WeIl
beat the Rams because we've got a
good football team-one of the best
I've ever been connected WITH"
RedSkin Coach Turk Edwards said
last night. We've got three Of the
best passers in pro football, four
Of the best punters and we've got a
big, heavy line. If we get by these
first few exhibition games while our
rockies are picking up some expert
ence I think we'll be in the cham
pionship playoff again"
Edwards wasn't talking of the
record or beating his gums for exer-
else. He sounded of at a supper
given by members Of the Henry
Knox Masonic Lodge, Hollywood,
and was summing up the Tribe S
chances in tomorrow nights game
at the Coliseum. 1t was refresh
ingly different to hear a coach who
didn't moan like a kid with a tum-
myfull of green apples at the mere
mention Of a game.
Won't Worry at Present.
ut used to make me so blamed
mad in college to hear our coaches
crying how lousy we were and how
good our opponents were when we
thought we were pretty good" he
said later. Heck, if fellow can't
coach a team to win he ought to
step aside and let somebody else
take over. I'm not going to worry
about this team until we start los
ing games-that's time enough.
Right now. 1t looks pretty good to
me-"
Some camp followers thought the
Skins looked even better yesterday
when Wayne Millner laid down his
coaching chart, laced on his shoul-
der pads, and went back on the &C
tive player list. The players have
expected 1t since the Skins first set
up their training tepee, but 1t didn't
come about until boil on his thigh
put Jim PEBBLES on the casualty list.
Miuner is IN tip-top shape and If he
turns out to be one of the heroes of
tomorrow nights game don't act sur
priSed.
Marshall Also Speaks.
Edwards little speech last night
was made before a galaxy of foot
ball officials, including Slip Madigan,
general manager of the Los Angeles
Dons; Bill Spalding, director of
Athletics at U.C.L.A. Bert La
Brucherie, Arnold Eddie of Southern
California, chairman of the Rose
Bowl Ticket Committee, and a raft
OF others. George Marshall, Redskin
prexy, also addressed the gathering
Of several hundred persons and de-
MED reports that he had sold his
laundry to devote all his time to
football.
Il got rid of it because I couldn't
get my own laundry. he said.
The Skins had their last hard
workout yesterday and tonight will
test their eyes under the lamps at
the Coliseum.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Feb. 20
The record field which will take
part in Saturdays mass assault
on the records at the annual
Southern Indoor championships
here Saturday includes not one but
several of those "one-man track
teams" who can do almost anything
in track and do it well.
There may be more, but the "big
four" entries so far are Sgt. John
Montgomery from Cherry Point,
who won three firsts at the 1915
games; 1t. Comdr. Harry March
from Norfolk Air Station, who won
the National Pentathlon for Caro-
lima in 1910; Mike Andrews from
N. v. State, who won two events
and placed in four others at the
1912 Carolinas AAU meet, and
North Cardinals Don Clayton, who
once scored As points single-handed
in a high school meet.
Maybe Montgomery shouldn't be
classed as 'one.man track team"
. as he specializes on the pole vault,
J. high jump, and broad jump, but
the other trio can do almost any
thing from the dashes right on
through the hurdles to the jumps
and weights and do it superla-
lively.
Thus, Commander March, who
by the way is much-decorated
flying ace, ran both the hurdle
races and both the jumps for
Carolina back in 1910. He scored
four firsts against Navy's eastern
leaders and three firsts in the
Conference meet; he averaged 16
points a meet for the whole season,
and that isn't all.
In addition to winning the Ma
tional Pentathlon, March has also
taken part in national decathlon
contests, including 10 different
events, and finished high up among
the leaders. Clayton has never
taken part in a decathlon, but to
score Is points in one meet-well,
that just takes nine first places.

Tigers Manager O'Neill Fears Boston Power
TERP TURF CODE
RULED INVALID

BALTIMORE, Feb. 20. - up - A
Maryland circuit court judge held
invalid and unconstitutional today
the state racing commissions rule
146(D), which makes trainers COM
pletely responsible if drugs are ad-
ministered to their horses.
Judge Emory H. Niles handed
down declaratory judgment void
ing the rule, which, he said, Gre
ated a conclusive presumption"
of guilt against trainers in "dop.
ing'' cases.
In New York, Tom Smith, head
trainer for the fabulous Maine
Chance Farm stable, was suspend
ed for year in connection with
the stimulation of the horse Mag
nific Duel at Jamaica last Novem-
Der l, although it was brought out
at hearings that the drug was ad-
ministered by an assistant. Smiths
attorneys plan. to appeal to the
courts.
Judge Niles said the rule violated
the "due process of law require
ment of the federal constitution
and the Maryland declaration of
rights, since it did not give trainers,
ne said, an opportunity to prove
they were, in fact, innocent of
either the act or of negligence.
The decision was made in the
state S demurrer to combined suits
filed by Owners W. L. Brann and
sylvester W. Labrot, Jr., on behalf
OF thelr trainers, E. A. Christmas
and Clay Sutphin, spectively;
Trainer Robert F. Curran, and the
American Trainers association AN
three suits sought reinstatement of
the trainers, temporarily suspend
ed on stimulation charges since last
falls Pimlico meeting.
Curran and the owners had also
asked lnjunctions restraining the
commission from enforcing the
rue and from taking any further
action on the charges.
The injunctions were denied hv
Juoge Niles as unnecessary since
ne sald' 1T can be presumed that
the racing commission will take
n resnt ;, Of the declaratory judg.
ment, as required by law.

DAN0WSKI NAMED
F0RDHAMS' COACH

NEW YORK, Feb. 2o.-Un)-Ed
Danowski, former Fordham and
York Giant football star, has signed
a three-year contract as head grid
coach at Fordham, Athletic Di-
rector Jack Coffey announced to-
night.
Fordham will resume intercol-
legiate football this fall after a
three-year lapse and Coffey said
Danowski would select his own staff
and take over his new duties i'm
mediately. His salary was not re-
vealed.
Danowski, "a, star fullback at
Fordham prior to his graduation
in 1884, starred with the Giants OF
the National Football league for
seven seasons. He retired from
pro gridirons to become head coach
at Haverstraw, N. Y, High school
before entering the navy in 1912.
Discharged as lieutenant COM
mander last autumn, Danowski re-
turned to Haverstraw as Coach.
Coffey said Danowski already has
submitted his resignation to the
high school there and will report
to Fordaam within a month or two.

DEFENDING CHAMPS
FACE TOUGH RACE
BY JACK HAND

LAKELAND, Fla, Feb. 20-(P)-
Boston's returning sluggers, with
pitching help from Tex Hughson,
Dave Ferriss and Mickey Harris,
look like the most serious threat
to the Detroit Tigers, in the opin-
ion of Manager Steve O'Neill of
the 1915 world champions.
'The Yankees will have plenty
Of hitting but Joe Mccarthy may
have some trouble with his pitch
ing" said the rugged Irishman
from Monooka, Pa" Cleveland will
have the pitching with Bob Eel
Ter, Steve Gromek, Allie Reynolds
and Red Embree but I think Bos-
ton is the team we have to beat"
why, that Hughson and Ferriss
each ought to be good for Is games
and I like that boy Harris. He's
probably learned a lot in that Pan
anna league while pitching in the
Army"
+ O'Neill pointed out the obvious
fact that the Red Sox will have
power to burn with Ted Williams,
Rudy York, Johnny Pesky and Bob
by Doerr.
Don't get the idea that the skip
per was picking Boston to win the
pennant.
Remember we're going to have
a darn good ball club, too,' he
reminded.
There was a merry twinkle in
O'Neill's eyes as he greeted his dis
charged Tigers, trouping one by
one into the office of Secretary
Clair Berry to report.
Dick Wakefield, Barney McCos-
ky and either Hoot Evers or Pat
Mullin probably will patrol the out
field. Not one of them was with
the club a year ago.
Hank Greenberg, who brought
his bride to camp, will return to
first base after winning the flag
for the Bengals as an outfielder
last fall. Over on third base Pinky
Higgins, about to be released from
service, and Billy Hitchcock, who
got in yesterday, will stage bat
tie royal. Eddie Mayo and Skeeter
Webb may hold over from the pen
nant club but Eddie Lake may take
away Webb's shortstop job
Birdie Tebbets, recently dis
charged Army captain, will be the
No. l catcher just as he was be-
fore the war with the valuable Paul
Richards and Bob Swift to help.
Hal Newhouser and Dizzy Trout
will have plenty of pitching help
from Virgil Trucks, who joined the
club in time to finish the season
and win in the series. Hal White
and Freddie Hutchinson returned
from service and Stubby Overmire
remained from last years start
ing list.
With 18 hurlers on the roster one
thing seems certain. 1t won't have
to be Newhouser and Trout all
alone in 1916.
