Cut in Armory Seating Big Blow to D. C. Schools
Students Alone
Would TakeUp
Proposed Limit
Georgetown and 6. W
Had Planned Seven
Court Twin Bills

If the 1925 seating capacity on
the District National Guard Armory
is imposed it will hamper seriously
the colleg sports scheduled there this
winter, particularly college and high
school basket ball games which
figured to fill the Armory's supposed
capacity of 10000 to 10000.
Georgetown and George Wash
ington Universities planned seven
college court twin bills with Ameri-
can University appearing on two and
Catholic University on one.
To accommodate students and to
make room for sufficient paid ad-
missions to take care of guarantees,
armory rental, officials and Incl
dental expenses, the colleges looked
to capacity crowds. George Wash
ington alone has issud more than
5000 student athletic books and
Georgetown has issued 1,700.
Assured of Big Capacity.
Max harrington, graduate mana
ger of athletics at G. w., said today
that Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, head
of the District National Guard, as
sured the colleges that the Armory
would seat between 1000 and 10000
"Otherwise," harrington said, I'VE
would never have considered the
Armory as playing site"
Rome Schwagel. graduate mana
ger of athletics at Georgetown, Of
fered three choices If the limit be-
comes final.
Schwagel's first proposal was to
limit the seats to students only,
which would make the college ath-
lectic funds carry the entire burden.
The second would be to limit each
school to 1,400 students and sell 1000
tickets, to help defray expenses. and
the third to attempt to rearrange
the schedules and play single games
instead of twin bills.
Birch Bayh, head of the public
schools physical education depart
ment, said We just can't continue
to pack people in Tech High as we
have been. We hoped to have suf-
ficient space and do away with over
crowded conditions in the new
Armory. but If not we'll have 10
measure one against the other, tax
ing into consideration last years av-
erage attendance, the new limit,
rental fee and the fact that the
Armory Is not centrally located"

Recheck Reveals
Buuqh Record

Sammy Baugh had another
passing record to his credit today,
one he earned several years ago
and failed to receive credit for,
according to a recheck of the
records.
In 1943 Baugh completed l49
passes-the most ever completed
in one season. Previously the
record had ben credited to Cecil
Isbell, who connected on 146 in
1912. The error was made, &C
cording to league officials, be-
cause of a failure to add in
passes completed by Baugh in q

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The Army

but when it comes time to hand
out the Lambert Trophy for East

surprised if a general is on hand
to collect the silver.
After three years of Blanchard

now looks like a Wild West movie
without shooting. Nevertheless, the
l947 Black Knights of the Hudson
most likely will take good care of
their sectional rivals despite their
suffering backfield.
Army's strength is in the line
this year. The Cadets didn't have
a powderpuff forward wall last fall
either, but the Mules never get
much attention when such crowd
pleasers as "B" and %" are around,
not to mention Arnold Tucker.

Washington and Lee.
Then comes the big one-with
Notre Dame. This will be the last
encounter between the two great
rivals for some time. Before they
hit South Bend on November 8, the
Cadets will have a more potent at
tack than they've displayed so far.

| NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Major re-
pairs on many of baseball's highest
priced players, recently completed or
scheduled for the near future, prob
ably will have more influence on the
194S pennant races than any trades
that will be made all winter.
Stan Musial, bothered by an in
famed appendix, was below par dur
ing the early months of the 1947
season, seriously hampering the st.
Louis Cardinals chances of repeat
ing.
Although Musial resumed playing
after brief layof following his at
tack in New York, it was recognized
that he would not be right until he
underwent an appendectomy at the
end of the season.
George ReO Munger, strong
armed right handler, was handi-
capped by the same trouble, al
though he was key winner for the
Cards in their September drive.
Both Musial and Munger under

Bud Chandler of the New York
Yankees, who was lost to the club
since midseason with a sore arm
was operated on Monday for removal
OF cartilage and bone chips from his
right elbow.

were able to walk away with the
American League penant this year,
but Manager Bucky Harris knows

If the Yanks are to repeat. Despite
his age, Chandler at SO is a most
important member of the Yankee
staff, even if it's only for spot duty.
Tex Hughson of the Boston Red
Sox repeatedly underwent an opera
ton on his ailing right arm Sep
tember 8. The ace Boston Red Sox
pitchers aches severely handicapped
the club in the long pennant race. A
sound Hughson, to act as stopper"
for his staff, could make all the diff
ference to new Manager Joe Nc
Carthy in his drive to unseat the
Yanks.
Mort Cooper of the New York
Giants was operated on late in the
season with such good results that
his brother Walker Cooper predicts
he will be a 20-game winner next
season.
Greenberg Plans Operation.
Hank Greenberg. released during
the World Series by Pittsburgh, is
contemplating an operation on his
right arm for removal of bone chips
Hank hasn't made up his mind yet
as to when and where 1t will be
done. It depends on his baseball
future.
