of the week with Mrs. L. G. Pray,
medalist and favorite, the victim.
Mrs. Pray took q 1-up lead into
the 18th hole and played her fourth
shot inches from the cup for sure
five. Miss Finckel was in the sand
trap to the right of the green in
three. The match was over unless
the shot went into the cup. Miss
Finckel exploded and the ball hit
short and trickled in the hole for a
par to send the match into extra
holes where she won with a par on
the Goth.
Miss Finckels final round op-
ponent today was Mrs. John Ives,
who managed to protect her one
hole lead on the 18th in defeating
Mrs. Allen Minnix, up.
At Congressional, Mrs. D. H. Hen
derson scored a 4-and-3 triumph

Dons Plus Dobbs Hope
To Lure $4,000 Gate
In Start With Yanks
BY the Assoeiuted Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12.-The
Los Angeles Dons, who performed
last year before more yawning cavi-
ties than a dentist, line up tonight
against the New York Yankees in
the local All-America Football Con-
ference opener that promises to at
tract-pardon the Dons for staring
more than $4,000 spectators.
In fact, the Glenn Dobbs- enforced
Dons have visions of setting some
sort of regular pregame record
for Memorial Coliseum, the huge
concrete oval they call home.
The lure of Dobbs, plus such
Yankee clippers as Buddy Young,
frankie Sinkwich and Spec San
ders, might bring out more than the
68,831 who saw the Chicago Bears
and rival National League Rams
play last fall. Dons officials secret
ly hoped to Surpass the All-America
Conference mark of 70134.
That, ironically, was set at Cleve-
land, when the Dons, played the
champion Browns last year. The
Dons never saw crowds like that
here.
Dobbs, the 1916 A-A most valu-
able acquired from Brooklyn this
week, is slated to start at fullback
in the T-formation. Coach Dud De
Groot has rigged up some new plays
to take advantage of Dobbs' out
standing pass and punt talents,
which heretofore have been dis
played only in the single wing
system.
Eddie Prokop and Bob Kennedy
will help to put the Yankee run
ming attack in high gear, while the
Dons will rely largely on the passing
of Charley O'Rourke. Their run
ming game has been negligible.

lis East Against West
In SemifinaI Round
'0fU. ). Amateur
BY the Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, Sept. 12
1t was the East against the West
today in the semiflnals of the battle
for the 1947 United States amateur
golf championship.
In the upper bracket was Johnny
Dawson of Hollywood against John
H. (Jack) Selby of Rye, N. Y. and,
in the lower, Felice J. Torza of
Wethersf1eld, Conn, was arrayed
against Skee Riegel of Monterey
Park, suburb of Los Angeles.
Thirty-six holes over the heavily
trapped, -bordered par 1886
70 Pebble Beach course lay ahead
of the four, all aiming at the cham
pionship round tomorrow. They are
the survivors of two rounds yester-
day which brought defeat to at least
four strong challengers.
They were Dick Chapman, the
1910 champion; Marvin H. Bud
Ward, twice winner of the crown !;
Frank Strafaci, New York's metro
politan champion, and Chuck Koc-
sis of Royal Oak, Mich, conqueror
of the defending title winner, Ted
Bishop.
Torza, who reached the semifnal
stage by defeating youthful Harvie
Ward of Rocky Mount, N. c.. was
regarded as a dark horse out West.
Actually, he ranks as a seasoned
tournament player in New England.
Selby, born in Oakland, Calf,
but for the last eight months a resi-
dent in New York, definitely was an
outsider. A 28-year-old ex-Navy
flyer in the war, he is strictly a
weekend golfer. Playing in his
first tournament of any moment in
year, he turned in the upset of
the day in defeating Ward, 2 and /
For the second straight day it was
44-year-old Dawson who was the
star. Having whipped Frank Stran-
ahan in extra holes the day before,
Johnny came back yesterday to dis
pose of Otto Hofmeister of Lewis
ton, Idaho, and 4, and then elm
mate Strafaci, 6 and S.
Riegel, 80, medalist in the Ma
tional last year and a member of
the United States Walker Cup team,
ran into tartar in 20-year-old Bob
Rosburg of Stanford University be-
fore winning, and l.
Going into today's play, with SO
holes behind, Dawson was four
strokes over par. Riegel was two
under for 80 holes, Torza one over
for 81 and Selby 27 over for 104
holes.

6. W. Finds Powerful
Tackle in Butkas;
6, j. Backs Stronq.
By GEORGE Huber

One player who promises to make
a lot of trouble for George Wash
ington's football opponents this fall
is Tackle Carl Butkas. He was one
of the Colonial standoutS last season
and the only difference in his play
this year Is that he appears much
better.
The Colonials IN their training
camp at Camp Let's have had
enough scrimmages now to show
Coach Skip Stanley who the rough,
tough boys are, and ButkaS leads
the pack. He's 225 pounds Of bad
news, a real anchor in the line. If
he continues to play as he has In
practice sessions-and there's no
reason to doubt he wiH-word soon
will get around the college circuit
that there's little use in cracking at
his side of the line.
Butkas is big, broad and solid. He
has a pair of young trees for legs
and attempts to run through or
over him in scrimmage sessions
down Rhodes River way are get
ting nowhere. He's one Of the
squads too few seniors, and as one
of teams most experienced play
ers he's proving a good play dag
nostician. His weight doesn't In
terfere with his speed, either.
With Tackle Joe Drach at Mary
land also showing himself a stand
out in practice, it gives the Wash
ington area schools two prime can
didates for Southern Conference
honors when the experts get around
to picking the best players.
Another spot in which G. w. ap-
pears fairly well fixed Is fullback.
Bill Spangler, shifted to that post
from blocking back, is improving
daily. He's driving hard through
holes in the line and is the knee
churning type of runner that's hard
to stop.
He doesn't have a lock on the
starting fullback post, however, be-
cause Joe Bernot, a vet of the 1941
team who didn't play at G. w. last
year, Is back in action and has
rounded into shape. Bernot is q
200-pounder and was a little rusty
when he showed up, but he's worked
the kinks out and is giving Spangler
good battle for the job.
Georgetown, too, has number of
good fullback candidates, although
Coach Jack Hagerty perhaps isn't
as well fixed there as at other spots.
Connie ODoherty, a sophomore, is
showing the most speed, but he's a
bit lighter than fullbacks should be.
Tom Gala, from last years B squad,
and Tony Boyer, sub last year,
also are in the scramble.
University Of Maryland will wind
up its first two weeks of practice
with a scrimmage tomorrow, but 1t
will not be open to the public. This
is a secret drill designed to test
some Of Coach Jim Tatum's new
plays and for the first time the
team will work out behind the g.
foot board fence.
Jimmy Troha, Maryland end,
looked good yesterday in pass catch
ing drill. He's a Pennsylvania boy
who played tackle In high school
and who is trying out at end for the
first time. He pulled in one pass for
Is yards and another for SO wards,
He's fast 6-foot 195-pounder.

 Since the civilian Naval Reserve
 is a nationwide organization, it
 will provide facilities for training
 and study commensurate, in most
 instances, with the size of the com
 nlunity, and enrolment. In addi-
 tion, members of the Reserve who live in rural areas. or are unable
 to attend classes and training periods in person, can take home
 study courses provided free by the Navy.
 For those members who can qualify and the number is limited only by the national reali- zation for the needs of the Naval Reserve-there are periodic bwo- week training cruises, of cOncen- trated instruction. Ships of the Re serve fleet and the active fleet will carry ReservistS on cruises which often make foreign ports of call. For members who elect to join the proud gang of submariners, there are submarines of advanced type available for their training at many of the Naval Reserve Centers. Members of the Naval Air Re serve will be able to retain, and improve, their flying or mechanical skill in first line planes. and can take their concentrated training at one of the two dozen Naval Air Stations now designated as Reserve training centers. For other special ists, training will be given at the Navy shore stations.
 There are Naval Training Centers in many localities and more are being built or planned. These Gen. ters provide training in almost every phase of the Navy. Radar. sonar. radio and electronics will be taught. Military maneuvers, fire control, damage control, gun point ing and attack problems are studied l in weekly courses. Dances. athletic contests and other recreational ac- tivitieS are scheduled in these Cen terS.
 Those units which are on the coasts or Great Lakes will be as- signed small, easily handled Navy ships so that members can organize and enjoy their own short training cruises in local waters.
 Membership in the Reserve offers many other advantages. Time spent in the Reserve is counted for longe- witty SO that for each thre years there is an increase of 5%o in base pay. For ex-Navy men Of World War II who join the Naval Reserve. there is the advantage of protection of rate, for they are enrolled in the rate they held upon discharge. under honorable conditions.
