WET Portland Course
Lifts British Hopes
In Ryder Cup Golf
By the Associated Press

PORTLAND. Greg, Oct. 2s.-
The greens were wet, the fairways
slow and more rain was in prospect
at the Portland Golf Club today,
but all that just made the British
more confident than ever of victory
in the Ryder Cup matches here
next week end.
"The duller the course, the better"
said Henry Cotton, captain of the
British team, which took Its first
look at the rolling, par 35-37-72
layout yesterday.
Nine of the British professionals
joined in describing the course as
almost like home" but the 10th
team member. Sam King. dissented
by saying we've had a dry spell
in England this year."
A few Portlanders insisted there
had been dry spell" here, too
only Ia inches of rain the last
week, and added that chances were
that nothing, but dry rain would
fall the rest of the week.
The Britons in their initial tour
of the course had their introduction
to the so-called Portland dry" rain
scattered fine drops that dry on
the clothes almost as they fall.
Even a steady dry rain, how
ever, vets the ground, and both
British and Americans found high
shots plopping dead. Observers
were surprised, however, at how
we'll the Britons were hitting the
ball after their long layoff In the
journey from England.
The six Americans on hand yes
terday also were playing well, but
Herman Keiser commented that ii
was a completely changed course
from last summer"
The pros in a tournament then
gave par a beating. Now they find
the course five or six strokes longer
per round because of heavy condi-
tions.
Byron Nelson Of the Yanks toured
the back nine twice and estimated
he had two 37s, 2 over par.
The British we're to work over
the course again today, and the last
four Americans were expected to
check in-Sam Snead, Ed "Porky''
Oliver, Lew Worsham and Lloyd
Mangrum. Already on hand are

Former Eagle

Yeah, that's my brother play
ing with the Georgetown fresh
man." said the compact, broad
shouldered guy. "And whatta
ball player-I mean baseball
player. He's good passer, too,
but the diamonds his dish and
you watch the kid, he's going
places"
Jim Castiglia, who put on a
Redskin uniform for the first
time today, was lounging in the
coaches room at the wigwam,
awaiting the arrival of Turk
Edwards to sign a contract. He
was enthused about joining the
Tribe but seemed more excited
about his younger brother, John
Castiglia, whose athletic future at
Georgetown is brighter than the
neighbor's brass door knocker.
Tied Lyons Of the White Sox
had a look at him in August and
wanted to take him on the road
with them for schooling. He's
shortstop and Ted had Bling"
Miller try to drive some ground
ers through him, but he couldn't.
And what an arm the kids got
like a gun. He's only 10. Stands
S feet II and weighs 180. Sure
he'll hit. He's right-hander
and a good one"
The kid brother didn't go to
Georgetown to play football, Jim
said, but somebody saw him
heave the pigskin one afternoon
and tipped off the coaches. He
completed six out of nine passes
against the Navy Plebes and five
out of five against Augusta Mill
tary Academy-three for touch
downs, before being injured.
"Passing's his strong suit"
said Jim, although he ran well
enough to make the all-county
team at Passaic IN. j. High.

series of passes had carried the
ball downfield.
When the opposition is punting,
a lot of eyes are glued on Davis,
the all-America candidate from
Columbus, for it's rare that he
doesn't come close to blocking
the kick. In fact, he has blocked
purfts in three games this season
and got his hand ON a couple Of
more-enough to ruin their effec-
tiveness.
Davis, who captained the Tech
basket ball and football teams
last> year, made the all-South-
eastern Conference grid team as
q sophomore and repeated last
year. He's an exceptional stu
dent, popular with his teammates,
and last summer turned down an
appointment to the United States
Military Academy. He served as
Techs cadet colonel last year and
last summer was selected as the
outstanding cadet at r. o. r. C..

Cubs List 19 Pitchers,
Including Nine Frosh,
In Rebuilding Effort
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 2s.-An last sea-
son, Manager Charley Grimm OF the
Chicago Cubs yelled: Give me
pitchers!"
The 1s4S Cub roster today lists
10 of 'em.
Out of this stable, 10 were with
the club during last season and nine
are freshmen.
In all, the Cubs have IS new
comers, including two catchers,
three infielders and one outfielder,
as they try to build from a sixth
place finisher to first division out
fit. Some Of these yearlings had
brief tryouts with the club during
the 1947 campaign.
Grimm was plagued with pitch
ing woes throughout 1s47 and it was
a memorable day when he could
start a hurler and confidently eX-
pect him to 60 the route. The best
mound record of the staff was

u. C.L. A. Has Trouble
Locating General
|0fCase' 'sCIass
BY the ted Press

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 28.-Confi-
dentially, the case of the U. c. L. A.
Bruins is that they have no Case.
Ernie/ Case, that is, the great
hearted little field general and sec
ond team All-America last year who
was the rudder of the 1916 Pacific
Coast Conference champions.
Case graduated to the Baltimore
Colts and the blunt fact is that
Coach Bert La Brucherie has been
unable to come up with play caller
and team leader to replace the TO-
pound pepperpot.
Carl Benton and Benny Reiges,
physically and mechanically cetter
endowed than Case, have not been
able to fill the bill in the department
of direction-and the Information
attack has suffered.
Both Benton. 180. and Reiges, 1875,
are sharp passers and Reiges is one
of the top punters on the coast.
Both are adequate defensively, al
though neither is in Cases class as
ballhawk.
But when 1t comes to putting a
firm hand on the helm and making
the Bruins roll. both have been
lacking. Close observers have found
lack of continuity in their play
calling and very little of the spark
which Case generated in his team
mates.
And-with the exception of Case,
All-America End Burr Baldwin and
Tackle Don Malmberg-this is eX-
actly the same U. c. L. A. team that
disposed of 10 straight oponents be-
fore running into Illinois in the Rose
Bowl.
They're big. fast enough and
smart. Still they've lost two games
to Northwestern" and Southern
Methodist-that most experts feel
they had no business losing.

ATLANTA, Oct. D. Bobby
Earthquake Davis, a mild man
nered, likable youngster who
steps out of character with the
kickoff, is being credited for much
of Georgia Teck's success in re-
manning undefeated.
Davis. who lettered at Tech as
a freshman of II. is rated by
Coach Bobby Dodd "as one of the
greatest tackles I've ever seen.
I wouldn't trade him for any
tackle in the country"
Now 20, and a senior, the 225-
pound Davis is the backbone OF
the Jacket line, on offense and
defe-se. With most plays set up
ta run to the right of center, he
plays right tackle on offense, but
to take advantage of his ability
and aggressiveness, he Is shifted
to left tackle on defense.
In five. games, the Jackets have
allowed only one touchdown and
that was on a quarterback sneak
