Hoyos Looking
To Elmer Robo
In Tulsa Test

Elmer Raba returns to the scene
Of. his greatest college grid per-
formance Saturday when George.
town visits Tulsa University, and
Coach Jack Hagerty is hoping for O
carbon of the 1947 Raba.
The Hoya senior potentially Is o
great player, but for one reason or
another he's reached such heights
only occasionally during his COLI
legiate career. One of these was in
last years Tulsa game when the
Hoyas upset the Golden Hurricane,
1910. He was running and passing
with the best of them then and
passed to both Georgetown touch
downs.
One heave was for 10 yards to
End George Benigni and the other
for % yards to Back Johnny Kivus,
both of whom are with the team
again this year. 1t probably was
Raba's best college game, and he's
hoping for repeat on the same
field this week end
Raba is fairly big as backfield
men go, weighing 1876 and standing
5-foot-11. In his sophomore and
Junior years he was troubled with q
bad leg and had difficulty getting
into shape and keeping that way.
This year, though, his leg hasn't
bothered him. He reported this fall
already in proper shape, and needs
only to pick up the right spark to
make big difference in George
towns football prospects.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct. 49,
Members of the Green Bay Packers
football team today awaited a re-
view of motion pictures of the
Packer Chicago Cardinals game to
see just who would have to pay fines
imposed yesterday by Coach Curly
Lambeau for their poor showing in
the Sunday contest.
Lambeau yesterday revealed that
he had fined the entire team one
half a games salary after its 17-7
defeat by the Cardinals and that
the fines would stick in all cases
except possibly several who may
be saved by review of the motion
pictures of the game"
The films, not yet back from the
professors, may reveal "extenuat
ing circumstances" he said.
I'VE have always had a reputa-
ton for spirit" Lambeau said
but We haven't shown it once this
year. One of the big reasons this
situation exists Is that the boys are
getting good salaries and they're
content For that reason there s
got to be a penalty for losing"
In addition to the blanket fines,
Lambeau said he was asking for
waivers on Bruce Smith, former
All-America halfback from Mime
sofa, now in his fourth year with
the club, and rookie tackle Jim
Kekeris, from Missouri.

Duke Fears Maryland
After Coach Hears
Report Of Scout
Special Dispatch 10 The Stor

DURHAM, NC. Oct. 13.-Coach
Wallace Wade of the Duke Univer-
sity football team that invades
Washington Saturday to play Mary
land at Griffith Stadium finds little
to please him on the scout report
he has on the Old Line team. As
sistant Coach Bob Cox has fol-
lowed Maryland in all its games
this year and the gist of his report
is that the Terrapins will be very
tough to beat.
Cox says that Maryland is much
stronger than last year when Duke
beat it, 1877. The Terrapins have an
excellent all-around team with fine
passing. fine running. fine defensive
play and great kicking game. He
also made particular mention of
Maryland's outstanding defensive
tackle play.
Last year Duke had plenty of
trouble setting up defense for
Maryland's split-T. In fact, the Old
Liners gained more ground than
did the winning Blue Devils. Mis-
souri,, which also uses the split-T,
ran wild against Duke in a later
game, winning four touchdowns to
one.
T Also bothering Duke last year
was Maryland's passing attack led
by Vic nlryn and Joe Tucker. Both
will be on hand again this Saturday
Turyn had pulled leg muscle that
bothered him little last week, but
he figures to be back in top form
again by Saturday.
The tackles Cox likes are Ray
Krouse and Jim Goodman, both
24O-pounders. Goodman was sup
posed to be injured and not playing
last week in the Virginia Tech game,
but when the going got tough at
one point Jim was in there and
playing his usual splendid game.
Earl Roth is Maryland's ace
punter. His average this year isn't
too hot. being around 30 yards. In
most games, though, the Old Liners
have been well into opponents ter
ritory when it came time to kick and
Roth hasn't had much room. He's
made up for lack of distance with
excellent out-of bounds placements,
three times in the Delaware game
hitting inside the Is. When dis
tance is available. he can get the
yardage, as he showed with one
boot of So yards against Virginia
Tech.

In town to help whip up interest
If any more Is needed, for Friday
nights football game at Griffith
Stadium between George Washing
ton u. and University of Kansas
is Don Pierce, sports publicity man
for the visiting Jayhawks.
Don is one of those fairly rare
birds in the sports world in that
he's an ex-athlete turned sports
writer He's an old Jayhawker star
who served professional bitches with
the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago
Cardinals before turning to sports
writing. He worked on three news
papers before heading the call to
return to his alma mater.
Washington is no strange town
to Pierce and he's been fairly busy
the last few days cutting up old
touches with some of the men he
played against here in his football
days. Right away he ran into Mike
Monchlovich, the G. w. athletic
trainer, and their meeting brought
up the 1910 Kansas-G. w. game, won
by G. w., 60, in the last period and
in which both men played.
1T was heartbreaker to lose
that one" Pierce recalls. Il thought
We had 1t won right on the first
play wher Jake Fry, our star half
back, went off tackle from our 90
yard line, He got all the way to
the. q. w. Q and somebody caught
him from behind. That broke his
heart because he thought he was
pretty fast and he didn't seem to
play as well after that"
Walt Fedora, the G. w. fullback,
scored the winning touchdown on a
19-yard run in the final period.

was banged up early in that game
and came back after being stitched
together to beat us"
Another ex-foe Pierce met was
Andy Farkas, onetime Redskin full
back and now in the sporting goods

Dodgers Redskins game here in 1912
as having more humorous incidents
than any they've played in, al
though Andy at the time didn't
think 1t so funny.
1t seems that Bob Masterson of

got in a fight and were rolling
around mixing pretty freely. 1t
looked an even match and Farkas
was out of it, leaning against a
goal post, when players from the
Brooklyn bench, including Pierce.
streamed by to get better look.
Somebody in the Brooklyn mob
reached out as he passed and took a
swipe at Andy, splitting his lip. Il
never saw a madder or a more
amazed guy in my life than Farkas
was then" recalls Pierce. "He wasn't
even in the fight and got hurt worse
than anybody. He ran all around
trying to find which of us had hit
him, but nobody ever did find out. I"

1t was nundle, no DOUBT OF It, More than any

The stock in Feller, only incorporated pitcher
in the business, hardly rose in the last couple of
weeks which embraced the fight to the American
League finish line and the World Series. In neither
grim campaign did Feller play helpful role. On
the contrary.
The Indians are one of the few teams Of
