Bison -BIuefieId State

A sellout crowd of $4,000 is likely
tomorrow when the revamped and
more powerful Howard University
Bisons take to the football field at
Brooks Stadium for their opening
game against Bluefield State at
o'clock. Spirit is very high at Howard
this year, and there is talk there
that this may Be the best season
in all Bison history.
The Bisons broke out with a good
team last season for the first time
in many years, turning in a record
OF six wins in nine starts to rate
10th among the countrys Negro
elevens. This year the Bisons are
taking on a njne-game schedule
against top-flight CIAA competi-
ton, and prospects are that they'll
win high percentage.
Coach Eddie Jackson had % let
termen to work with this year plus
many promising freshmen. They've
come up with a diversified ground
and air attack, with emphasis on
speed and deception.
Oddly enough, both tomorrow's
opponents have changed their often
sive systems from last years. Howard
is shifting from the single wing
to the T, while Bluefield has the
single wing this season after trying
the T last year Howard won last
years game, first between the two,
1870, and is favored to repeat to-
morrow.

Varsity Vets Against

BY q Staff Correspondent Of The stor

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Sept.
26.-With the exception of ends, it
probably will be varsity regulars
from last year occupying starting
positions on the University of Viz
ginia eleven against George Wash
ington U. tomorrow in the season S
football opener here for both teams
Freshman ends probably will be
Carlton Elliott. q rangy 205- -pounder
and Bob Weir, 1T pounds. Gene
Schroeder from Anacostia High in
Washington, is another frosh and
slated for lot of playing tomorrow
Almost certain starters in the
backfleld are Bruce Bailey and
Billy Pennell, halfbacks; Grover
Jones, fullback, and either George
Neff or Joe McCary, quarterback
All are letterman veterans. Bailey
is the teams triple-threater, and
was standout in several games last
season. Jones was on the injured
list much of last year, but showed
lots of power when he did play and
averaged over 8 yards each time he
carried the ball. Neff, product
of Episcopal High, is polished ball
handler.
The experienced Cavaliers are out
to improve on their 1916 record of
four won, four lost, and one tied,
and will rate as favorites over the
Colonials tomorrow. G. w. is highly
regarded here. however, and is
counted on to give Virginia its
toughest opener in a good many
years. Their last previous meeting
was in 1922.
G. WIS squad of 40 players is
coming here by bus today after

Camp Let's, Md. where they have

Coach Skip Stanley still is troubled
with injuries to several key players,
and it's likely the starting lineup
tomorrow will list a number Of
second-stringers.
Stanley also is worried about his
passing attack, which has not de-
veloped as expected. The Colonials
have tough line, with not too
much weight in the backfield, and
the attack against Virginia tomor-
row will feature speed and de-
ception.

1erps Seek Revenge
Over Gamecocks for
APPOINT Setback
BY Staff Correspondent Of The stor

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 26.-The
University of Maryland opens its
10-game schedule here tomorrow
against South Carolina, seeking
revenge over Gamecock crew that
handed it slsst-minute 21-17 de-
feat at College Park last year.
The Old Line squad, SO strong, was
due here this afternoon by plane,
and hoped for a workout before
dark at Carolina Stadium. A near
capacity crowd of close to 10000 is
expected for tomorrow's kickoff at
2:30 pm. EDT. The game will be
broadcast in Washington over sta
ton WWDC with Ray Morgan at
the mike.
Enright Is Puzzled.
Gamecock Coach Rex Enright,
who piloted his team to a 27-6 VIC
tory over Newberry in its opener
last Saturday, says he's still puzzled
about how some football experts"
can predict a great season for his
club. I'VE have fine crop of fresh
men, he said, "but you can't expect
freshmen to step right in and play
great ball against powerhouse like
Maryland"
Enright does have powerful
squad to throw st the Old Liners
tomorrow, the cream of an original
turnout of ITO candidates. At full
back he has his choice of three big
and powerful boys, Red Harrison,
Bishop Strickland and Bill Rutledge.
He's also well fixed in the aeriel
department, where Henry (Sling-
shot Hank) Witt, Harold Hagan and
Jim Atwell shine.
Ends, too, are outstanding, with
Freshman Red Wilson at one flank
and Jim Pinkerton at the other.
Pinkerton saw only limited service
last week against Newberry because
of an injury, but he's ready for full
duty now.
Late Pass Beat Terps.
In last years game, Maryland
was leading the Gamecocks, TIA.
with time remaining for only two
or three plays. Hagan decided the
game by throwing a touchdown pass
to Whitley Jones.
Maryland's probable starting
lineup tomorrow is: Ends, George
Simler and Franny Evans; tackles,
Chet Gierula and Joe Drach. center,
Gene Kinney; quarterback, either
Joe Tucker or Vic Turyn; half7back,
Hubie Werner and Lu Gambino;
fullback, Harry Bonk. There may be
one or two changes, depending on
whether the Terps kick off or re-
ceive.

1t has been an unusually good

going for the pushers and kept the

nate few who have located dove
roosts land incidentally kept theil
locations secret, for which we do mo-
blame them, the birds have beer
few and far between since the frs,
few days of the season. The flight
doves are not coming down as yet
We saw many single and paired
birds on the wire through Northern
Ohio, Indiana and Southern Mich
igan last week. The corn crop had
not ripened in this area, the weather
was like midsummer. Although
these birds undoubtedly would mi
CRATE west of us, we gathered that
practically the same situation has
prevailed in areas which feed flight
doves into this section. Another

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The 1e47
World Series between the New York
Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers will
see the weakest pitching staffs that
ever have carried their teams to
major league championships.
Certainly no team ever has en-
tered a World Series before
whose mound corps had hurled
a total OF only 46 complete
games as has this years edition
of the Dodgers. The Yankees
hurting crew, which has accumu-
lated a much more decent total of
complete games-72, to be exact
has Jared even worse than the
Brooks during the past two months,
which seems the fairest means of
judging their comparative mound
strength.
Since July 27, not one of the
Yankees big four OF Allie Reynolds,
Frank Shea, Bobo Newsom ana
Floyd Bevens has gone the route
more than three times, Shea finished
what he started only once during
that time. The others did it three
times. In all, Yankee pitchers have
gone the route only IA times in
the clubs last 81 games.
Slab Staffs Fairly Even.
The Brooks hurlers, since July 81,
have started the same number of
games and have gone the route in II.
The big four of Ralph Branca, Vic
Lombardi. Joe Hatten and Hal Gregg
have pitched Is complete games in
43 tries. That doesn't indicate that
the Dodgers pitching staff is any
world beater, but at least, it COM
pares favorably with that of the
Yankees.
Some observers are pointing at
the fine showing of the Yankee
hurlers since the American League
pennant was clinched. Since then
Reynolds and Bevens have pitched
shutouts and Newsom and Shea have
hurled low-hit games which makes
it look like the staff is all set for
the series.
That may be so, but then consider
that the opposition in those games
was no better than the last-place
st. Louis Browns, seventh-place
Washington, sixth place Chicago
White Sox and fifth-place Philadel-
phia Athletics. Previous to clinching
the pennant, Yankee pitchers went
l3 straight games without going the
distance.
In the end, it probably will be up
to Joe Page and Hugh Casey to
settle the issue. Page is hailed in
some quarters as the greatest re-
lief pitcher to come along in a
