Hurt Todd Sent Home
Tribe Loses Five Men
For Game in Denver .
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stcy Stoff CORRESPONDENT

EN- ROUTE TO DENVER, Sept.
8.-Limping on an injured ankle
that will keep him out of action a
week, Dick Todd was Texas-bound
today while worried Redskin off,
Gals wondered whether they should
pitch q tepee or first-aid tent on
the site Of Wednesday nights game
with the Detroit Lions.
Todd, who will rejoin the squad in
Chicago, turned his ankle in an in
trasquad game at training camp,
but thought it was sufficiently healed
to face the Rams last Friday night.
II wasn't and he took a powder in
the first period. Yesterday the dam
age was painful enough to have an
X-ray made in Salt Lake City, where
the team paused for a workout.
DR.. James T. Kerby, a native
Washingtonian and Georgetown
graduate. examined the player and
found no broken bones. The best
treatment, he, said, was complete
rest, and club officials decided Todd
might as well spend the time rock
ing on his front porch as rolling
around in a lower berth.
Tribe Nursing Many Bruises.
The Tribe now has an assortment
Of bruises to nurse while feeling its
way through four tough duels lead
ing up to the league opener at Phil
adelphia. The situation is bad
enough but has not yet approached
the epidemic proportions of last year
when Steve Bagarus led off with a
groin injury the eve of the Ram
game. At no time thereafter was
the team 100 per cent sound and it
eventually cost the Skins the East
ern title.
Four players definitely are out OF
Wednesdays fray-Guard Bill Ward
and Backs Sal Rosato, Jim Hefti
and Jim Gillette-in addition to
Todd. Three others. Guards John
Steber and Leo Mobile and Halfback
George Holmes are on the doubtful
list and Steber is the only one like
ly to play. It makes it rather diff
hcult for the Board of Strategy to
field a winning combination.
Todd's loss at Los Angeles FASTENED
the collapse of the running attack
but Coach Turk Edwards blamed
this more on the guards than the
backs.
Guards Worrying Edwards.
II think we have two good rookie
guards in Mike Garoni and Mobile. u
he said, but until they get more ex-
perience we've got to depend on
Steber and Ward to carry the load.
Take one OF them out of three and
we're in trouble. Take both out and
I don't know what will happen
Mounting casualties mean the
lineup will be juggled for the next
couple of games at least. Al De
Macs transfer to guard appears to
be permanent and ditto for Bill
Gray. But Doug Turley still Is
fitting about like lost butterfly
while the Board of Strategy ponders
where to put him.
Vince Pacewic, who spent the
training season in the Rams camp,
had his first workout with his new
teammates yesterday and fitted
nicely into the fullback spot.

TopU. 5. Rankings;
D. {. Stars Drop
BY Ben McAIwee

Washingtons national bowling
prestige took one Of its severest set
backs today-when only two men
and four women from this area
gained places in the FIRST 10 rank
ings' of the National Duczpfn Bowl
ing Congress.
For the first time In 20 years since
the NDPBC started ranking the
country's duckpinners, a Baltimore
woman, Elizabeth Barger, heads the
women's list. while the naming Of
Bob Fisher gave the Maryland
metropolis the mems top-ranker for
the fifth straight year.
Andy Friar of East Providence
r. l., was the mems runnerup.
A great bowler for many years,
Fisher succeeds Oscar Shepherd Of
Roanoke, Va, who hailed from
Baltimore until recently.
Maxine Allen Second.
Runnerup to Lorraine GULL Of
Washington the last three years,
Mrs. Barger won out over Maxine
Allen of Durham, N. c., by the thin
margin of one pin. However, in
actual averages the difference was
% pins. Miss Allen, by bowling
seven more games than Mrs. Barger,
was given 81 extra pins of three pins
for each game which is allowed by
NDPBC rule.
The men receive two pins per
game and it was this difference that
gave Fisher, with 602 strings, the
edge over Friar, who rolled in 404
games. Had only actual averages
counted, Friar would have gained
the top spot with 127-128 mark
against 127-545 for Fisher. But the
1876 extra pins gave the deserving
Fisher the break.
After three successive years as
queen Of the country's woman duck
Primers, Miss GULL dropped to third
place in the latest rankings. Her
1896 for 432 games was nearly
two points shy of the 1l1-72 pace
for 416 games set by Mrs. Barger
and the 1850 for 423 games by
Miss Allen.
Madge Lewis No. s.
While Washington men long ago
relinquished their monopoly on the
national ratings, this Is the first
time In a number of years Wash
ington women have not held the
edge.
other Capital women rated in
the first 10 were Madge Lewis, No.
5; Mary Brown, No. s, and Frances
Wilson, No. 9.
The only two District men to
place in the top 10 were Tony San
tint, last seasons leading special
events winner, with five victories,
who placed No. S, and Cletus Pan
nell, No. 10.
Names of District men also are
noticeably missing again in the
second and third ranking 10. Ray
Watson Is No. 10, trailed by Bub
Guethler, No. 20; Lou Jenkins, No.
26; Julie Singer, No. II, and Mike
Avon, No. %.
Washington women also Jared
poorly in the two supplementary
lists, placing only seven. They are
Lois Gladding, No. 10; Caroline
Hiser, No. IA; Jessie Sacrey, No.
Is; Ingomar Moen, No. IT: Evelyn
Saunders, No. 20; Evelyn Nickel,
No %. and Ruth Di Misa. No. 29.
Baltimore boasts Is men in the

entire list. The Orioles fair rollers

for 1865, 900 kilowatts by Novem-
Der l, 1858. -.
The need is immediate ano
urgent. There is no way to meet
the demand. The nearest thing to
it is for an immediate start on
every feasible project that will
furnish power in large and small
amounts.
There is only one thing the in
dividual can do who recognizes
this need. That is to write his
congressman and senator urging
immediate action. The federal
government is the only organiza-
ton that can finance and con-
struct the necessary power de-
velopment. Private companies as
well as government agencies are
agreed on this point. Write your
representative at once. LIZ
As a commentary on the above
question it is pleasant to note that
private and public agencies, long
at variance, have sat together and
cometo sound conclusions.
This does not mean that they
have absolved their differences.
They have agreed on fundamental
questions. An emergency must be
met. They are doing it in the
best American traditions.

great increase in the percentage OF

this would improve the type OF

Dear Editor:
What do you think of a junior
college in the tri-city area?
Couldn't junior college be pro-
vided in this area for students
who wish higher education?
believe that enough students from
this area would appreciate higher
education and take advantage of il
if it were available. A college Of
this kind would make it possible
for the students who are planning
a college education to obtain one
near home. There are also a large
