Navy Grid Aide Fears
California Reserves
Are Too Strong
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2s.-Pub-
licity Director Jerry Flynn of the
Naval Academy athletic depart
ment is scared of CALIFORNIA; re-
serve strength in Saturdays foot
ball clash between the Middies and
the Bears. So he says, anyway.
Flynn told a football writer's
luncheon here yesterday that Navy
was short on good reserves.
Navy has 16 football players who
will compare favorably with any in
the Nation but from there on you
might as well call in the fifth team" ="
he said.
The Annapolis team will perform
before plenty of friends. Ships of
the fleet will drop anchor here Fri
day and the Navy has requested
10000 tickets for bluejackets. A
sellout crowd of 10000 is expected.
Meanwhile Coach Lynn Waldorf
drilling his California Bears at
Berkeley complained his force lacked
adequate intelligence reports on the
Navy.
AL we have is scout report of
last years Army-Navy game" he
said.
The Middies, now training at
WILDLY Island, Wash, are due in
Berkeley Thursday.

coming. Don't sell the Cardinals
short next year."
Owner Sam Breadon recently
denied that any player deals
were on the fire or that any
change in managers was contem-
plated.
The Cardinals, after a brilliant
stretch drive last year, never
were able to take the league lead
this season. An early season
slump kept them m last place for
several weeks. Gradually they
pulled up to second place and at
one time were within three
games of the Dodgers. Then
they slipped back.
But for the second successive
year they drew more than 1,00O,-
600 spectators to Sportsmans
Park. Last night, with the tenn
perature in the upper 40s, more
than 5000 turned out.
The game closed the National
League season here.

A. u. Athletic Policy
May Cause Ban by
Virginia Schools
BY the Assoeiated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 23,-
Washington and Lee University
through its athletic director, R. N
(Capn Dick Smith, declined to en-
ter into a controversy today with
American University of Washington
over the transfer of two w. and l.
basket ball stars and one N. C. State
player. However, officials at three
other big Six" Virginia schools de-
clared they had no personal desire
to play the Eagles because of their
policies.
One school, William and Mary,
had a game scheduled with Ameri-
can University for December 6, but
Athletic Director R. N. (Rube) Nc
Cray said today the game was can
celed several weeks ago when it
became known American University
planned to use athletes who would
not be eligible according to South
ern Conference rules.
University Of Virginia and Vir-
ginia Tech have games listed with
the Eagles and 1t was strongly indi-
Gated these would be Cancelled.
Athletic Director Norton G.
Pritchett said the university's ath-
letic council would meet Saturday
in Charlottesville and that he will
recommend the game be Cancelled.
Virginia Tech has a late Decem-
ber meeting scheduled. Athletic Di-
rector w. L. Monk Younger va
not Immediately available this
morning, but Basket Ball Coach
Flaik (Red) Laird said he and
Younger had discussed the affair
and indicated American U. might
be removed from the schedule. Laird,
of course, said he was speaking un-
officially, but that he personally did
not care to play against the Eagles.
American University has been
charged by Basket Ball Coach Carl
Wise Of w. & L. with having lured
two of his stars--Don Hillock and
Reggie Crockett. The Eagles also
have obtained the services of Bob
Negley, an All-Southern Conference
star last year at N. c. State.
Conference rules require that no
team within the circuit compete
against teams in the conference ter
ritory that use ineligible players.
Under the conference transfer rules
cases involving men who have
played previously at another insti-
tuition would make them ineligible.

Only senior in what may be the
starting lineup is End George Sim
ler, a 6-foot-2, 200-pounder. He's
rough, tough boy, who would make
a good tackle if he wasn't more
anxious to play end. The other end
is Franny Evans, a lanky, 180-pound
junior.
Two Freshmen at Tackle.
Both tackles will be freshmen.
One is Danny Krause, 24O-pounder
who starred at Western High and
Dewitt here, and the other is 200
pound Chet Gierula. Starting
guards figure to be AL Phillips, 2O7,
and Ed Schwarz, 1888, both juniors.
Center is a tossup between Junior
Gene Kinney, 1876, and Freshman
Jake Rowden, 18O. Rowden prob
ably is a better all-around player,
but needs experience, as do most of
the other linemen..
Numerically there are replace
ments for these boys, but many of
them are green. Tatum's best guards
behind Phillips and Schwarz are AL
Murphy and Bob Finger, both
freshmen, and the same situation
prevails at most other spots.
I'm not the kind of coach who
always says Wait until next year. {"
remarks Tatum, "but boy, I'd like to
have the 1948 team right now"

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23.-The st.
Louis Cardinals, who bowed out
of the National League pennant
picture last night in favor of
their old rivals, the Brooklyn
Dodgers, took their elimination
calmly.
The atmosphere in the club
house after their 6-3 defeat by
the Chicago Cubs was little diff
ferent from that which pre-
vailed after any other setback
earlier in the season.
Manager Eddie Dyer, little
more serious than usual, declined
to offer any alibis.
I'm not so good making state

Max Hirsch Chances
Mind, Now Willing
For Assault 10 Race
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The off,
again. on-again 100000 race be-
tween Armed and Assault, which
appeared to be on the verge Of its
second postponement early today,
apparently will be held at Belmont
Saturday as scheduled.
Max Hirsch, Assaults trainer who
said yesterday he thought the King
Ranch champion was below peak
form, watched his colt froic and
Kick around his stable this morn
ing and said, If the Armed people
still want to run the race. I'll be
willing to 60 along with Assault"
Conference This Afternoon.
However, conference is sched-
uled for this afternoon among
George E. Widener, president of Bel
mont Park; Robert J. Kleberg,
owner of Assault, and Warren
Wright, Armed's owner.
Assault worked a mile and an
eighth yesterday in a creditable
1852 Us and Hirsch suggested later
that Kleberg withdraw the colt from
the race, which originally was sched-
uled for Chicago on August 80 but
was postponed then because of a
foot injury to Assault.
Prior to Hirsch's decision to>
Ben and Jimmy Jones, containers
of Armed, had suggested that Sty-
mie, worlds leading money winning
horse be substituted for Assault in
Saturdays race.
Although Assault worked early
yesterday morning, Hirschs concern
wasn't known until after Armed put
on an impressive drill himself in
the afternoon in a sprint race
against Polynesean.
Armed finished second to the
sprint king of the East in a fast g.
furlong race in the slop.
Ready for Stymie, Too.
The Joneses realize that 100000
is nothing to sneeze at for a horse
race, so they proposed the alterna-
tive with Stymie If Assault Is out.
They recalled that in recent days
Hirsch Jacobs, who owns and trains
Stymie, had felt that his horse
should be invited to the special
along with Armed and Assault.
This has caused split in horse
circles hereabouts, with more than
a few against it because of Cd the
fact that Jacobs wanted no part of
the match when it was slated for
Chicago and now is interested in
it in his own backyard and (2) the
fact that Stymie is primarily cup
horse, at his best only over routes
from a mile and half up.
He has had three cracks at Armed
and five at Assault at mile and
q quarter or thereabouts and every
time he was beaten.
