York is confronted with the most
discouraging schedule. Including to-
days game, the Yankees have fVe
engagements with Boston and three
with the pesky Philadelphia Ath-
ietics.
Boston has five games with New
York, of course, and three with the
lackluster Mats. Cleveland, mean
while. will be colliding with Detroit
six times and Chicago twice.
Manager Buckv Harris plans to
pitch Allie Reynolds tomorrow, with
Boston expected to counter with
Denny Gelehouse. 1t probably will
be the Yankees Tommy Byrne
against Mel Parnell OH Sunday, with
upward of 100000 fans expected to
see the series.
Tribe Faces Crippled Tigers.
Cleveland tangles with Detroit at
q time when the Tigers have been
crippled by the loss of two of their
more dependable players-Center-
fielder Hoot Evers and Third Base
man George Kell Evers recently
contracted pneumonia and Johnny
Groth has been imported from the
Tigers Buffalo farm to supplant
him.
The Indians are certain to be pit
ted against the capable Hal New
houser twice. but Cleveland's pitch
ing has assumed roster hue with
Bob Feller's recovery. Feller and
Bob Lemon are likely to take the
hill twice each against Detroit.
Cleveland's feveriSh hackers are
hoping the Red Sox and Yankees
will kill off each other, permitting
the Indians to grasp their first pen
nant since 1920. Detroit. though
can be troublesome, as evidenced by
the Tigers recently splitting four
game series with both New York
and Boston.
1t was Frank Papish, who had
won only one game this year, who
plunged a stilleto into the Yankees
gasping bodies yesterday. The White
Sox left-hander stopped New York
on six hits as Chicago capitalized on
its eight hits of Ed Lopat and BOZ
Porterfield.
New York scored in the third in
ming when Bill johnson walked with
the bases filled to force across Tom

that run in its portion of the inning
when Don Holloway singled, raced
to third on Johnson's poor throw
and scored on Papish's fly.

Facing Richmond in
Opener Tomorrow

The University of Maryland foot
ball line that Coach Jim Tatum will
send in at kickoff time tomorrow
night against University of Rich
mond at Richmond will average
close to 210 pounds. The really big
boys there are Tackles Ray Krouse,
who goes 240, and Jim Goodman, a
mere 248. Both the guards, AL Phil
lips and Paul Broglio, also 60
over 200.
The remainder of Tatum's prob
able starters are Elmer Wingate and
Francis Evans on the ends and Gene
Kinney at center. All are proven
veterans.
Likely backfield starters are Vic
Turyn, quarterback; Johnny 1dzik,
left half; Jim La Rue, right half,
and Harry Bonk, fullback. These
also are old hands.
AS it is a night game they have
drawn for their opener, the Terra
pins won't leave College Park until
tomorrow morning and will make
the trip to Richmond by bus.
Only standout player on the In
iured list is Bernie Sniscak, right
halfback, who is out for two weeks
with a bad knee received in scrim-
mage last week. That will put all
the work of that important position
into the hands Of La Rue and Joe
Kuchta. ...-

In football forecasts in magazines,
by wire services and in headlines in
three New York newspapers, George
town suddenly has been billed as
the sleeper of the East" How
come? we asked Head Coach Jack
Hagerty today before the Hoyas took
a plane for Worcester and tomor-
rows game with Holy Cross. We
reminded him that last year the
Hoyas often were "sleepers, but
with the alternate use of the word.
Hagerty, not the crying-towel
variety of coach, but nevertheless an
extremely cautious one in his prog
nostications, seemed pleased that his
team is commanding more respect.
Il guess it's the fast sophomore
backs, and the fact that We scrapped
the T formation with our present
material" Hagerty said, and adding
that Il hope they're right"
Hagerty is strong on his backs and
enos, pleased with Jim OKeefe at
left tackle and Vic Banonis at CEN
ter, but dubious about right tackle
and in a quandary as to the guard
positions. His main worry is re-
serves, not only because of q lack OF
replacements, but because there are
not enough good second stringers
around to press some OF the regulars
for their jobs.
The soph backs Hagerty referred
to are Bill Mitchell, the champion
hurdler; Dick Barba, a fast fullback
who runs with his knees high, and
Billy Conn. who has not yet lived
up to his high school clippings.
According to Hoya Publicity Agent
Bill Racn, "a papers in New Jersey
pick all-State high school teams and
Conn is the only player who ever
made all "a teams. Last. year as a
freshman he was injured part of the
season. In spring practice he ad-
mittedly was a disappointment, but
the youngster has been greatly i'm
proved in the four weeks OF fall
practice.
Corn will not start against Holy
Cross tomorrow, but he will be Babe
Baranowski's first replacement. As
Conn is not a proven passer, Barba
Or Jack OConnor probably will pass
when Conn is in the backfield.
Georgetown has received consid-
cradle attention because OF its 800
pound average line, although with
all those big fellows in there the
line will be comparatively slow. The
principal losses from last years

tied one were Bus Wefder ano
Elmer Oberto at guard positions
and Lou Robustelli at left tackle.
The Hoyas will be colorful
team, a fact guaranteed by the
presence of the mighty Babe Bara-
nowski In the backf1eld. The s.
foot-7 Chicagoan is terrific at times
but always worth the price Of ad-
mission.
In playing Holy Cross, George
town is meeting team that has
received comparable advance no
times. Under Coach Bill Osmanski
for the first time, the Crusaders win
be handling the Chicago Bear type
T for the first time and although
impressive in scrimmage against
Columbia Saturday, it was reported
they plainly showed lack OF IA
miliarity with the system.
The Hoyas were scheduled to ar
rive in Worcester at Ills and after
a short workout the coaching staff
planned to take off for Boston and
scout Boston College, next Fridays
Griffith Stadium opponent, against

Navy Hopes 10 Whip vi

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. IA Navy's
victory hungry football team will
depend upon passes, speed and de-
ception when 1t meets California's

It will mark George Sauer's debut

here from Kansas last spring as the
Tars' first civilian mentor in many
years, predicts well worry them"

said,- but I don't know exactly
what to expect until I see them

things. There's good spirit. good
outlook-but blocking, tackling anc
timing are more important.
I'VE must take advantage Of all
our assets against California, be-
cause they've got lis outmanned in
strong reserves"
Sauer has cooked up fancy
man in-motion variation of the T.
formation and has capable passers
spotted at quarters and left half,
in Reaves Baysinger and Pistol Pete
Williams.
However, Sauer termed Bill Haw-
kins, 200-pound fullback, the key
man of his offense.
He means as much to us as Jackie
Jensen, who is quite fulback
does to California" Sauer said.
The Navy coach feels pretty sure
Lynn lPappy) Waldorf will have
much more to show the Tars than
the California Bears unveiled be-
fore Santa Clara that week.
In that game, California played
straight T-football-a lot of run

Coach Waldorf put out only what
he wanted the scouts to see," Sauel
commented.
He said he expects the Bears to
put on some frills against u.s."

George Washington US football

by train for tomorrow afternoons
game at Blacksburg against Vir-
ginia Tech. The Colonials were to
arrive early this afternoon at Roam
oke, where they will stay until to-
morrow morning, then complete
their trip by bus.
Coach Bo Rowland said his prob
able starters tomorrow. will be those
used against Wake Forest last Sat
urday. They were Bill Szanyi and
Hank Bartelloni, ends; Jim Feula
and Harvey Shipman, tackles;
Chuck Gunner and Dixie Howell,
guards; Talbot Dredge, center; Stan
Burak, blocking back, Joe Buell. and
Jim Kline, halfbacks, and Andy Da-
Wis, fullback.
That's no irQn-man team, how
ever, and Coach Rowland will make
frequent substitutions, as he did last
week. He uses various combinations
as situations develop, and spectators
tomorrow could see as many as four
guards and two tackles on de-
lfensive G. w. line. Nearly all OF
the IS players making the trip will
see action.
The ends are particularly bright
spot at G. w. and such talented
hankmen as Charley Butler, Frank
Close, Tom Riley and Charley Jones
are due for nearly as much action
as the listed starters. That was
the situation last week when all
played and all did well.
Tomorrow's game Is the first OF
the season for Virginia Tech and
| it is ready to unveil a new look.
The Gobblers will be decked out in
new maroon jerseys with large
orange numbers, which will make
it easy on the spectators. Miles
Stadium at Blacksburg also has
undergone a face lifting with new
paint, additional seats and new con-
cession stands, all to the tune OF
$85, 900.
| Ramblin' Ray Beasley has been
appointed game captain. He was a
standout player last season and had
particularly good day when Tech
shellacked the Colonials, 1875. He'll
open the game at left halfback
Other backfield starters probably
will be Bruce Fisher, Chip Collum
and Ralph Beard. Beard looks
ready to take up where he left OH
in 1916. He hasn't been bothered
with the old leg injury that kept
him shelved last year.

In Serious Shape
After Turf Spills
~ the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. "A. - Two
Jockeys who suffered spills in differ
ent races at Belmont Park yester-
day-Warren Mehrtens and Charles
H. Williams-are in a Jamaica hos
pital with serious conclusions.
Mehrtens. veteran contract rider
for King Ranch who rode Assault
to the Triple Crown in 1916, was
reported slightly improved" early
this morning.
He was in a semiconscious condi-
tion when he was removed from the
track with head injuries. Attend
ants said he now has regained con-
sciousness.
Williams, steeplechase rider from
Baltimore, was said to be in poor
condition.
Mehrtens went down when his
mount, Out O. Sun, struck the heels
of Filament soon after the start Of
the second race and took nasty
spill.
The colt suffered a fractured hip

kinson, aboard Filament, was not
injured.
Il heard him yell,' Atkinson said,
"but there was room inside me"
WihIams, aboard The Heir, fell
heavily at the 10th jump OF the
featured 2-mile Brook Steeplechase
Handicap.
Hampton Roads also fell and
Pursuit Plane lost his rider in the
same race but the pilots escaped
with minor bruises.
Mehrtens is one of the Nations
leading jockeys. He rode Assault
to most of his triumphs before the
King Ranch speedster was retired
after winning $626,620. He also
rode Armed, the second-leading
money winner of all time, on occa-
Sions.
The little Brooklyn rider won
three $4,000 races this year within
a week-the Suburban Handicap at
Belmont May 81 on Harmonica, the
Coaching Club American Oaks
