Leohy Praises New Free Substitution Rule.
Calls It Great Aid to Lighter PLAYERS

Coy MCGEE of our team Is a fine
example of the type youngster
benef1tting from the new rule.
Coy Is filled with fight and speed.
But he is a slender youngster and
not built to stand prolonged
pounding.
At Notre Dame we encourage
boys to keep coming out for prac-
tice even when it is pretty obvious
, they cannot qualify to make trips
with the team. We do so because
we feel boy gains from competi-
ton and conditioning.
Much to our pleasure, now and
then a boy fights his way onto
the team against what seemed
insurmountable odds. This boy
will be hard to stop later on in
life.
Calling the ball dead when an
attempt conversion Is blocked is
another rule that tends to elm
mate injury. In the past when
the ball could be advanced for
the extra point II recovered the
danger Of injury proved rather
high. Therefore, this sensible
change in the rules.

went into effect with the start Of

planned too fully, brings the ball

vantage for the offensive team
and should be pleasing to the
fans.
In our opinion the change in
the rules benefits both players
and spectators. Any rule that
permits more boys to play with
further elimination of danger also
BENEFITS the game.
Your boy and mine are only
human. They enjoy the cheers
OF the crowd on Saturdays and
the feeling that patient, hard
work brings recognition. Practice
without hope of reward can be-
come pretty monotonous work.
We remember only too we'll the
times we missed trips in our
playing days, the disappointment
that came when the immortal

We hope that youngsters now

success. That's what builds char
acter-and makes for winning

Only once has bowler won the
Howard Compbell classic for two
straight years. That feat was
achieved by Astor Clarke in 1887 and
1898, six years after the former king
of the maple lanes had marked up
his first Campbell victory in 1881.
Thus, the odds will be heavily
against Billy Stalcup, defending
champion, next Sunday when Wash
ington's 22d annual bowling ex-
travaganza is held in successive five
game blocks at Hyattsville, Lafayette
and Colonial Village.
With the exception of Clarke, the
history of the Campbell is marked
by the futile efforts of every other
champion to retain his laurels.
Victory for Glenn Wolstenholme
in the first Campbell in 1927 was a
fitting anti-climax to a remarkable
bowling career. In 1928 Wolsten-
holme finished 18th behind Red
,Megaw, the victor. Megaw, in turn,
was far down the list in 1880 when
Brad Mandley led the field.
Rosenberg 1880 Victor.
Max Rosenberg was the 1880 victor
with Mandley fourth. But even this
dynamic star of yesteryear could
finish no better than seventh when
Clarke fired the tournaments first
three 600-sets in a row in his 1881
win. His sets were 627, 628 and 623
for 1873.
Clarke was sixth in 1882 when
Tony Santini scored his brilliant
last-box one-pin decision over Ed
Blakeney. Santini was 18th in
1888 when Whip Litchfield won with
an almost unbelievable score of 1857
Third place was the best Litchfield
could get with 1908 when Sam
Simon hurled a 1888 at Hokie Smith,
the runnerup in 1884 with 1940.
Eddie Espey came into his own in
1885. by beating Ollie Pacini to the
wire with 1867. Simon, the previous
years winner was 10Th.
It was all Harry Hilliard in 1886

Cowie, Sprint Champ
Sees Football as Aid
To Olympic Hopes
BY the Assoeiafed Press

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 49,
Paul Fred Cowie, Just about the
fastest thing In college football
now that BUDDY Young is in pro
ranks, is rarity for a srar sprinter
he thinks football pounding will
help build up his legs for the
Olympic Games.
His entrance into Princeton Uni
versity football delayed by the war,
by almost a year in a German
prison camp, and by track coaches
references, the tiny Tiger break
away back has views on the fall
sport that should come as a bit
of a shock to track mentors.
THE strain of running in foot
ball is not as hard as in the dashes
and it might end my troubles with
pulled muscles says Cowie.
A senior and now "a. Cowie last
played football seven years ago
while at Mercersburg and then only
for two weeks while trying out for
the academy team.
Track coaches didn't like to see
a 96 man in the 100 get pushed
around on q football field, especially
when the sprinter stands feet 7
and weighs only 160. AS a result,
Cowie kept away from shoulder
pads and cleatS. In spite of this
caution, the Rockville Centre, N. Y,
speedster always seemed to run into
leg trouble.
Thus, with the resigned decision
that anything would be for the best,
Cowie went out for football this year.
In the opening Brown game he
appeared only for a few moments.
Against Rutgers last Saturday he
suddenly burst forth as one of the
really spectacular open field run
ners of the season.
Cowie threw a bad scare into the
Rutgers ranks, both on the coaches
bench and in the stands, in , the
Is minutes or so he appeared. Rut-
gers managed to win, 1877, in the
39th renewal Of the oldest rivalry in
intercollegiate football, but not be-
fore Cowie virtually had assured
himself of the key breakaway back
position for the Tigers.
He grabbed one punt and sped 66
yards down the sidelines without
being touched for a touchdown that
was called back because Of Prince
ton penalty. He ran two other punts
back 54 yards and gained IS more
yards in seven rushing plays.
Captain of the 1948 Princeton
track team, Cowie is the 1947 ma
tional sprint champion and victor
over Glenn Davis of Army in in
door dashes last winter. In the Yale
dual meet last year he won the 100,
220 and 440. His Olympic hopes Gen.
ter about the 100 and 220.

Hokie Smith Named
Manager Of Kinq Pin

Wayne (Hokie) Smith, one of
the city's all-time great duckpin

OF King Pin, succeeding Jim Hall,
who was at the helm of the Rhode

the last year and half.
It is the third managerial post
Of local Meyer Davis bowling estab-

E streets NV. nearly 20 years ago.
After serving as an assistant to

and never-told gems Of football
history recounted. Among his
torical facts the book will tell:
/. Harry Costello (1910-1913),
would have been an All-America
on anybody's team had he played
with one OF the big colleges. He
was footballs most illustrious
quadruple-threater, being able to
dropkick with Charley Brickley,
run with Tuffy Leemans and also
punt and pass.

Curly Byrd to Wild Bill Corrigan

strated the power of the forward

happened in the Fordham game
when the present University Of
Maryland president, then playing
quarterback for Georgetown, set
the Rams back on their heels for
go minutes.

Koesfer, End al 6. W.,
Is Key Ball Carrier
Despite Position

It's no secret that the marked
man on the George Washington
University football team for Satur-
days game with Wake Forest will
be an end, not a back. That would
be Dick Koester, the most improved
player on the Colonial squad and
one OF Its leading ball carriers
despite his position.
koester was an all-high fullback
at Roosevelt High School before the
war and his presence at G. w. is
due to the high pressure tactics of
Tom Coleman, the Colonials' pub
licity man, who first sold G. w. to
Koester and then sold Koester to
Coach Skip Stanley.
Too Valuable at End.
Stanley made an end of Koester
and now would like to use him in
the backfield, but paradoxically the
6-foot-1 190-pounder is too valuable
at end.
Koester scored touchdown against
V. M. I. on an end around and has
made several stable gains this year
by that play. Last year he passed
after sneaking around to take the
ball from the quarterback, but this
year has confined his efforts to
running.
Dick was a trif1e weak defensivelv
last year, but he has overcome that
and now must be rated as the best
defensive man on the squad. His
blocking, another weak spot last
year as sophomore, also has shown
great improvement.
Team Needs Passer.
Koester is starring on team that
Is without a good passer, although
pass catching is his top football
talent. If Stanley can uncover a
passable passer for G. WIS tough
games coming up, Koester will be-
come known as triple threat end.
He can run, catch passes and star
defensively.
Koester was accused of being too
slow last year but that was because
he was recovering from a football
injury. Virginia, v. M. I. and Wash
ington and Lee can attest to his
new-found speed and Stanley hopes
the Deacons will watch him go by
in the Colonial first home game
Saturday afternoon at Griffith
Stadium.
