Caps in League Start
Face Hot Baltimore

The Baltimore Bullets, who, as
members of the American Basket
Ball League last season. repeatedly
hurled challenges at the Washing
ton Capitols Of the Basket Ball AS
sociation, face the Caps Wednesday
night when both teams launch the
Associations season at Uline Arena
at $3.50 o'clock.
The Bullets, paced by Player

Gated they are stronger this year
In trouncing dorchester in an exhi-
bition recently, the Bullets clicked

The 30-year-old jeanette and 81

Legislature permitting the use OF
blank cartridges in training dogs to
hunt upland game birds.
Reports recently were received by
the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service that patches of discolored
water and dead fish floating at sea
were arousing fears that the New
Jersey coast might be in for an
attack of the "red tide" which pro-
duced such disastrous results among
fish on the Florida west coast during
the past summer. Investigation by
DR.. Walter A. Chapman, aquatic BIZ
ologist, found a few discolored
patches of water, which upon test,
indicated that these fears were
groundless. However a mobile
trailer laboratory is being sent to
the New Jersey coast to study a
mysterious condition of the sea
water which has burned f1shermen's
hands and caused nets to disinte-
CRATE within a few days after ex-
posure. Apparently the destruction
of commercial fish netting is serious
and widespread.
To be added to the list of new
clubs for sporstmen is the old Ports
mouth, N. C. Coast Guard Station

Izaak Waltonians from the Valley
of Virginia are continuing their
fight against pollution in the Shen-
andoah River. Last month the
Clark County Chapter of Berryville,
aided by the Winchester Chapter
raised more than $4,000 for this pur-
pose through live stock sale. Res
idents of the valley now are thor
oughly aroused to the damage which
has been done their beloved stream,
and are determined to force action
on the part Of the responsible in
dustrial plants to end all pollution.
There still seems to be some mis-
understanding among large num-
Der of wildfowlers as to the regula-
tions this year on brant. The season
for these fine birds is closed along
the Atlantic Seaboard. Probably
because they subsist mainly on eel
grass in these pats, and the blight
has just about destroyed their food
supplies up to the present, their
numbers are considerably down. It
is to be sincerely hoped that the
comeback being staged by the eel
grass shortly will bring them back
in sufficient numbers to again per-
NIT shooting them.

Tar Heels Justice and Pupa,

Halfback Charley Justice and
Fullback Walt Pupa, two great play
ers on the 1946 North Carolina team
who were going only $3.50 this year
until last Saturday, finally are play
ing the style of ball expected Of
them. It comes just in time to give
Maryland additional headaches
about the game these two teams will
play on Saturday afternoon at
Griffith Stadium.
Justice just hadn't been doing
much this year until he faced North
Carolina State at Chapel Hill, but
against the State rivals he was his
old elusive self, passing, running and
kicking in his 1916 style and taking
a big part in the Tar Heels Ais
rout of the Wolfpack. That Mary
land will face this same Wolfpack
team in its last game of the season
is small consolation. The Old Liners
have Justice to worry about right
now.
Pupa, too, showed his old style
again for about the first time this
year. He has been slowed with a
charley horse, but it was no him
drance Saturday when he scored
two of the Tar Heel touchdowns.
One was on a 65-yard run and the
other on q short plunge after he
passed 26 yards to set up the score.

Wisconsin Title Hopes
Hinge on Game'With
Unbeaten Michigan
By the Assoeiofed Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Wisconsin,
which has been without cham
pionship since 19l2-leanest record
of any Western conference team
places its hopes for the 1947 crown
on the line against unconquered
Michigan Saturday.
Wisconsin at the start OF the sea-
SON was rated along with Purdue as
the team most likely not to succeed.
and was figured in the cellar without
further ado.
The Wolverines, living up to ex-
pectations as the championship fav-
orites and Rose Bowl delegates, were
supposed to find Illinois their big
gest hurdle. They brushed of the
Illini "A to 7 and began breathing
easier. Now comes Wisconsin, with
the exception of Michigan, the only
undefeated team in the big nine.
The Badgers, after hammering
Purdue 32-14 to open the season,
were tied TT by Indiana. Then
they took a 48-7 drubbing by Cali
fornia as they fumbled nine times.
The following week they knocked
Yale from the undefeated ranks,
90, then smashed Marquette 1912.
Returning to conference competi-
ton, they blasted Northwestern 2S-0
and last Saturday walloped Iowa
46-14 to avenge surprising 60 up
set by the Hawkeyes five years ago
which kept Wisconsin from the
championship.
Michigan, which took Indiana
apart, $50, Saturday for its fourth
Big Nine triumph and seventh VIC
tory of the season, will find Wis
consin the speediest team it has
faced to date. The Badgers also
appear to have depth OF material
to match the Wolverines system OF
interchanging units.
Purdue's chances of sharing the
crown we're blasted when Minnesota
handed the Boilermakers their
second conference defeat, 1921.
Wisconsin, after facing Mich
igan, must tangle with Minnesota
in the seasons finale. Conceivably,
the Badgers could win both, games
and take the title-but in Mich
igan and Minnesota they have saved
their two toughest foes of the sea-
son until last.
Minnesota Is at Iowa this week
while Notre Dame, still undefeated
after a 27-7 conquest OF Army, is
at Northwestern; Illinois at Ohio
State; Marquette at Indiana; Pitt
at Purdue, and Michigan State at
Temple.

Bee Bee; Lacey Battle
For 5trib|ing Match
At Arena Tonight

Bee Bee Washington is back In
his accustomed spot tonight when
he tangles with Frank Lacey OF Bal
timore in the 10-round main-evem
middleweight fight at Turner's Are
ma. Double-B has had some rugged
going recently, having lost a close
one to this same Lacey in Baltimore
not long ago, but he's never lost IN
Turner's Arena. 1t was a string OF
almost weekly victories there two
winters ago that lifted him to a
ranking spot among the country's S
middleweights.
Lacey, handled by Heinie Blau-
stein, is a hard puncher and fair
boxer. Bee Bee relies more on box
ing skill, particularly a fancy left,
than he does on power. Accord
ing to Blaustein, Lacy has won SO
of his AZ fights. He lost twice to
Cyclone Williams and drew another
against him. Bee Bee has beaten
Williams.
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez is
working on bout between the win
ner and Ken Stribling, local fighter
who is gaining prominence among
the middleweights.
Two f1ves and two fours are sched-
uled as supporting bouts. Fives are
Gene Hardison of Norfolk against
Melvin Waldo of Baltimore, and
Tony Longo of Norfolk against
Hank Young of Washington. The
fours are all local, AL Davis against
Eklins Brothers and Charley Ma

Leemans had some rough 60

sion at Denver with the Colonials
when Tuffy had seven stitches
taken In a gashed lip and II
stitches were required to close a

me in that one" says Tuffy. Il
went into the game with a bad
lip, and every time there was a
pileup some character would rip
the tape off,"
Because we were playing those
big, rough Bears while was with
the Giants a lot of people
thought Chicago was out to get
me, too, when I went to the hos
pital for a month with a brain
conclusion. That isn't true.
George Wilson just simply caught
me off balance with a whale Of q
vicious tackle, but there wasn't
anything dirty about it. I tried
to play again after that, but I
couldn't make a go Of It,"
Tuffy, whose weight has scared
to 220, attempts to trim off the
poundage once a week in a golf
match. He hits a long ball oc-
casionally, but doesn't take his
golf seriously, shooting any,
where from 80 up. TITS the most
fascinating sport there is," pro-
claims Leemans, "but T like it
chiefly because of the compan-
ionship. I get a lot OF fun out
of it."
Leemans remains a fire horse.
He was persuaded to help Joey
Gallagher with the st. Johns
football team and planned to aid
only for three weeks. He's still
helping the undefeated Johnnies
coaching and scouting-and he
even sold 81 tickets to the st.
John's-Central game. II just

Evening star., 1947-11-10
By Burton Hawkins

Tuffy Leemans. 20 pounds puf-
fier than when he was carrying
leather for the New York Giants,
closed a deal for the four clean
ing plants he directs, swung his
swivel chair in our direction and
repeated the, question, who's
the better passer. Sid Luckman
or Sammy Baugh? Well. I'll say
Baugh is the best passer and the
best football player Of all time.
He's the finest thing that ever
happened to pro football.
Look, when I was playing with
the Giants we had some pretty
good clubs and we had a great
coach in Steve owen. Know
what our defensive workouts were
before we faced the Redskins?
They were strictly pass defense
drills-no running at all-and I
can't think of a higher tribute to
Baugh. Owen would show us
nothing but passes during the
week and then on Sunday Sam
my would make us look foolish
anyway.
"Luckman is great spot
passer, but if Sammy were a spot
passer he'd be a greater one. Sid
has one receiver in mind when
he calls a play. Sammy drifts
back to throw pass with two or
three receivers in mind and it's
uncanny how he connects with
one of them. Defending against
his passes is like trying to grab a
handful Of fog.
yeah, Sammy would be on my
all-pro team as the first choice.
OF the fellows I played with and
against I'd have Cliff Battles,
Dutch Clark, Bronko Nagurski
and Baugh in the backfeld.
Blocking? Listen, when Nagur-
ski was doing your blocking you
wouldn't need anybody else. He
was a little past his prime when I
played against him, i guess, and
if that's so I'm just thankful I
didn't meet him when he was
better. What a bruiser.
MEL Helm would have to be
my center. I played with him
and could appreciate him and
that goes for Johnny Dell Isola,
one of the Giants guards. I'd
have Danny Fortmann as the
other guard; Joe Stydahar. and
Turk Edwards as tackles and.
Don Hutson and Bill Hewitt as
ends"
Tuffy's team thus lists three
Redskins and three Chicago
Bears, two Giants and one player
each from Green Bay, Philadel-
pfia and Detroit.
"No, I honestly can say" con-

tinued Tuffy in response to an
other question, that I've never
regretted having played college
football at George washington
University. For one thing, I don't
know what the circumstances
would have been at Notre Dame,
Michigan or some of the other
big-time football schools I might
have been fortunate enough to
attend.
IT do know that things worked
out all right at G. w. U. In those
days the Redskins weren't here,
and we drew sizable crowds
against good opponents. I made
lot of friends at G.. w. U. and,
all in all, I'd say I'm happy
played there rather than at a
better-known football school,"
Three thrilling moments are
recalled easily by Tuffy as the
top episodes Of his career. "Be-

ing elected to the college ALL
Star team and playing before
10000 people was a real thrill,
and running IS yards at the Polo
Grounds to beat Green Bay for
the championship was another"
reminisced Leemans.
Tuffy's other marvellous mo-
nnent will be recalled by all who
saw it at Griffith Stadium, when
G. w. U. was playing L. S. U.
An L. S. U. back broke into the
clear from deep in his own ter
ritory, picked up three blockers
and sprinted for pay dirt with
only Leemans between them.
With three blockers to erase
Tuffy it seemed a certain touch
down.
It wasn't, for Tuffy maneuvered
one of the most brilliant de-
fensive plays ever seen on any
football field. With a superb
shoulder feint he sent two block
