COLUMBUS, Ohio, April q
Wesley Fesler, Ohio States new

ITO me it isn't important how
many games we win. To- the best
of my ability, intend to fight fol

of this great collegiate athletic
program until football becomes
strictly an eXtracur1icular activity
Which just about sums up the

star who this year came back to

football fame to take over what
has been termed the toughest
coaching job in America"
Maybe I'm cutting my own

head football coach I want to say
to the boys of Ohio that you can't
eat footballs. What counts after
your football-playing days are over
is what kind of an education you
have, and whether you can hold
your own in the tougher competi-
ton of business life which follows.
ST intend to help sell Ohio State
athletes to the businessmen of Ohio

they get proper training for their
business careers while playing foot
ball for fun.

long as I have voice. that nobody
will come to Ohio State with the
primary thought of playing foot
ball." the Buck mentor declared.
I'VE have instituted checkup

Washington's paddlers will be in
the best shape of their careers
when the time comes. Dempsey's

Moist says he likes the busi-

Locals Highly Favored
In PIayoff Battle at

By Bill Fuchs

Coach Ole Olsen brought his
Western Division champion Chicago
Stays into Washington today to OPP
pose the Caps at U1ine Arena to-
night and tomorrow night In the
Basket Ball Associations irst-place
playoffs, but the former Ohio State
mentor isn't laboring under any
optimistic Illusions. A record
breaking crowd of 5000 Is expected.
"We1l enter the series as under
dogs" he admitted, following the
Stags' last visit to Washington when
they took a 1o5-77 shellaeking, but
we'll be hoping for something un-
expected to happen"
Like what happened in the World
Series when the Cardinals upset the
Red Sox," he exemplified.
Natural Attitude.
Olsen's attitude is a natural one.
In six games with the Eastern
champions, the Stays salvaged only
one victory, an 1857 win in Chicago
while the Caps have pounded the
Windy City boys by such scores as
1857, 1856, 87-72 and $3.50, besides
the lop- sided score in the last meet
ing between the two clubs.
But, along with the moral incen.
tive always given to the underdog
the Stays should be spurred on BY
the monetary jackpot awaiting the
winner. The losing team will gel
$4,000, while the series champ vii.
net $4,000 and advance to the f1nal
where an equal sum awaits the ulti-
mate victor.
Besides, the Stays are no push
overs. ,Sparked by Max Zaslofsky
former st. Johns College Of Brook

the century scoring mark four times

Scarborough Blames
Damaged Wrist for

ORLANDO, Fla, April 2.-Ray
Scarborough, who was supposed to
I'LL a niche as one of the Mats
starting pitchers this season, has
been labeled Washington's most dis
appointing hurler by both President
Clark Griffith and Manager Ossis
Bluege.
Marino Pieretti has supplanted
him as the Mats likely fifth starter,
but Ray hasn't abandoned hope.
Scarborough has been pounded
brutally. He has been battered for
20 runs and "A hits In 13 innings.
He has been wild. If he had been
a rookie seeking job he long since
would have been shunted to farm
club, but Ray says there's reason
for his poor performances.
II haven't had a thing" says
Scarborough, land / know it. I've
been bad, plenty bad, but haven't
been able to throw properly because
OF q sprained wrist. I injured my
wrist sliding into second base in our
first game and it hasn't improved.
Maybe should have laid off un-
til 1t got better, but I didn't like the
idea of anybody thinking I was
shirking, so I kept pitching. Now I
know I shouldn't have because I've
taken some beatings that haven't
done me any good with Bluege or
Mr.. Griffith.
His Arm Is Okay.
ct haven't had any trouble with
my arm" continued Ray, denying he
had suffered a recurrence Of q sore
arm which kept him idle 10 weeks
of last season. MY arm never has
felt better, but made a mistake
pitching with bad wrist. I'm going
to give it rest for few days and
I'll be all right
While the Mats bosses have been
puzzled over .the failure of Scarbor-
ough to approach true form. they
are elated over the continued SUI
perb pitching of Sid Hudson. The
towering right -hander apparently Is
poised for his best season.
Sid has pitched 81 innings against
the Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds.

allowed only two runs and 13 hits
