The second annual Evening Star
Games, to be held in the National
Guard Armory on Saturday, Janu-
airy IS, will bring together the two
best pole vaulters now in the
United States, Bob Richards and
Boo Morcom.
Richards, who competes under the
banner Of the Illinois A. c., has
held an edge over Morcom, the New
Hampshire star, who will appear in
the first Evening Star Games i'll
the high jump.
Richards started last seasons in
door season at the Philadelphia In
quirer meet on January % when he
won easily with a vault Of 1903
against weaker opposition. He went
on to clear the bar, finally, at 143
The following week, in the Mill
rose Games at Madison Square
Garden, Richards met Morcom for
the first Of a series of contests,
winning at las while Morcom fin
ished second with 14.3.
At the Metropolitan AAU Cham
pionships on February IS they
wound up in the same positions
with the same marks.
However, at the New York Ath-
letic Club NEST, Mcrcom was out
in front with 14.5f4 while Richards
TIED Meadows, former West Coast
star. in second place with 144.
Richards kept his marks consist
ent later by winning the pole vaul:

Here a College Grid Team That Never Loses
Softly Arch Mcdonald Cont Permit Defeat imaginary Hedqemoe

when he was returning from
Bowie in an automobile with four
other gamblers.
They tuned in to get the sports
results. I had Hedgemore trail
ing, 14-0, at the end of the first
period and the gambler put on an
act. He said, 'Doggone it, or
maybe something more expressive,
and one Of the other fellows
asked what was wrong.
my kid brother plays quar-
terback for Hedgemore,' ex-
planned the gambler. They've
got good team and they were
favored to win that game"
He was given a mild joshing
by his companions, and when the
half time score rose to 2l-0 the
sarcasm became more biting. At
appropriate odds, the gambler
made bets Hedgemore would win,
having been appraised by Arch
that Hedgemore never loses.
"The score got up to 28-0 at
the end of the third quarter, and
by that time the gambler was
holding bets totaling $125," con-
tinued Arch. Sure enough,
Hedgemore won, $3.50, with q
great rally in the fourth period,
spanked by Puford Flamm. Yeah,
the gambler gave 'em their
money back the next day-or
at least he said he did"
"1t's reached the point now"
said Arch, that I couldn't leave
Hedgemore out of the football
scores if I wanted to. The alumni
have become too loyal When
I don't give enough details on
the game they squawk about it.
I guess old Hedgemore will have
to keep on rolling along, crush
ing everything in sight"

| Morcom and Richards also met
in the Olympics where q rain
soaked field seemed to bother both,
but Morcom more SO than Richards,
the latter vaulting 1919 and Nor
com 1875.
The meeting here next January
will be renewal Of rivalry which
khas been friendly but consistent.
In fact, at the Millrose Games when
Morcom was invited to the second
Evening Star Games not only for
the high jump. in which he placed
second to Dave Albritton last jan
uary with a leap Of 6 feet 3 inches,
but also to the added event, the pole
vault, he called over to Richards
and urged him to enter also.
You ought to enter that meet,
Doc" he said. 1T was one Of the
best meets I've ever been in, and
they really treat you wonderfully"
AS a result, Richards requested an
entry blank which he sent in short
ly thereafter to become the first en-
trant officially signed for the meet.
Other top vaulters will be invited
to enter the event, which will be
one of the high spots on a spectac-
ular program in January.
Tickets are on sale for the meet,
with boxes selling at 81 and 50. bal
cony seats at So and general admis-
sions at 50. About 1000 floor stand
seats will be on sale later at SO.
Tickets may be purchased at the
business counter in the lobby of The
Evening Star Building or by mail
by writing to The Evening Star
Games, Room 724, Star Building.

years, is expected to run into some
tough competition next Monday

old Lloyd Gibson Of Cincinnati.

Bednorik UphoIds AIJ-Americo
Status as Linemun of Week
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. T.-Chuck
Bednarik. all-America center at the
University Of Pennsylvania, has
taken plenty of ribbing from oppo-
nents since the season started.
The dialogue probably goes some
thing like this:
Opposing lineman (as the teams
line UP for scrimmage alter opening
kic.lof)-"So you're all-America.
Well, well, well. Let's see what you
can do today"
Bednarik-'Look who's talking.
Let it come. Let it come"
Usually "the Clutch" lets his
playing do the talking for him. His
performance against Navy on Sat-
urday won him the football "lineman
of the week" award in this weeks
Associated Press poll.
AS against Dartmouth, Princeton
and Columbia in previous games,
Bednarik was the sparkplug, the
leader who pulled the team together
when the situation looked dark.
Bednarik was at the bottom of
the pile that stopped Navy short
OF a first down early in the last
quarter, when the Middies tried a
running play instead of punting on
fourth down. And it was through
Bednariks position in tie middle
of line that Penn's backs then pro-
ceeded to tear of Consistent gains
for the winning TOUCHDOWN.
The former Bethlehem, Pa,
schoolboy shared the punting duties
against Navy. In Penn's three pre-
vipus games he demonstrated he
can run and pass as we'll as tackle.
Many observers believe Bednarik's
play alone has kept Penn unbeaten
and united.
Bednarik joins Lauri Niemi,
Washington State tackle, and Alex
Sarkisian, Northwestern center, in
being named 'lineman of the week.
Niemi won the honor last week
and Sarkisian two weeks ago.
Leo Nomellini, 250-pound Mime
sofa guard, and Len Szafaryn,
North Carolina tackle, pressed Bed
narik for top laurels.
Nomellini recovered a tumble for
Minnesota's first touchdown against
Michigan. His hard tackling was a
major factor in helping to limit
