Barba, Dancing Back, !,
Catches Fancy Of
Hilltop Mentor

It's too early to tell much about
a sophomore football player just
from practice, but it may be that
Georgetown has come up with
something very good in Dick Barba,
a youngster from Maplewood. N.
J. Coach Jack Hagerty doesn't go
overheard on anybody, but he
smiles contentedly when speaking
of Barba and says, He may be the
man we've been looking for for
three years"
Hagerty indicates that Barba may
be the starting fullback when the
Hoyas tangle with Holy Cross in
their opener two weeks from now.
Dick has been doing some SEN
sational work in scrimmage at the
Hilltop. He's big-190 pounds on
6-foct-1 frame-and he runs hard
and deceptively. He's brainy on
defense. He uses q tricky little step
to escape tacklers, a sort Of spin
that looks like a dance step. Indeed
it may be just that, because one of
his favorite off-campus activities IS
dancing, especially the rumba. The
hip swing developed in the rhumba
is big help to his football, 1t
seems.
There may be one other sopho-
more at a starting post against the
Crusaders, Bill Orsini at tackle, who
at -l95 is about the lightest player
in Hagelty's 215-pound line. Other
likely starters there are Vic
Banonis, center; George Benigni
and Frannie Desmonds, ends: Jim
Ricca and John Berger, pair OF
24O-pounders. guards; and Tom
Dolan, the other tackle.
1t looks as if Babe Baranowski
again will do the quarterbacking
He's blocking like mad and in a
recent scrimmage completed II OF
16 passes. Lou Surman and Tommy
Graham, both juniors, may land
the halfback posts.
Close on the heels Of these antici-
pated backfield, starters are Billy
Conn, another prize sophomore who
comes from Newark; Jack O'Con-
nor, Joe Sullivan and Bill Mitchell

D. C.|s Three Entries Defeated
In U.S.. Tennis, But Show Well

for the game and 5-3 lead for
Welsh.
Talbert took his service at love
to make the score 5-4. The large
Washington contingent watching
ana suffering with each shot Welsh
made, now sat on the edges of
their seat in anticipation of q
1albert break through to even the
score. But Barney, hitting his
service and ground strokes with
terrific speed, scored two place
ments and then forced Talbert into
errors for the set. 1t was a fine
achievement for the Washington
player, who in this set outfought,
outdrove and outserved the second
seeded player in the National
championships.
The fourth set was one-sided.
Welsh had lost the fine edge to his
game, and though he was hitting
as hard as before his errors were
numerous. Talbert, too, was watch
full against a possible upset and
took care to keep his game at a
high level. The final score was
6-2, 51, 46, 81.
Capt. Robin Hippenstiel played
good tennis in losing, Ga, 64,
3-6, 6-3 to Thomas. The Florida
youth, who has done well on the
grass court circuit this summer,
simply was more familiar with turf
play and had a well-rounded game
tnat stopped the Washington player
from taking full advantage OF his
net game In each of the sets
Thomas won his deep ground shots,
buttressed by steady volleyins
attack, and kept the Air Force Off
Ger from taking the net at crucial
times.
Hippenstiers Volleyins Features.
In the third set Hippenstiel broke
through for an early 80 lead and
kept his service to win the set at
6-3. His volleying from difficult
positions, many of the volleys drop
ping dead over the net, featured
his play during this chapter. The
star broke through
Thomas service in the fourth set
for a 80 lead but the Florida youth
evened up things. Play
ing strong tennis and following his
serve to the net, Thomas took his
service games and broke
through Hippenstiel in the eighth
game for the win at 6-3.
Miss Decker matched Miss
Brough's game in several depart
ments, but the Washingtonian had
little answer for the National cham
pions whistling serves. The match
was marked by several long volleys
but Miss Brough usually came
through with the winning point.

Hope Of Heavy Crown
Bound 10 Spur Two
In Benefit Fight
BY George Huber

Ezzard Charles OF Cincinnati and
Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland are set
to start tomorrow night at Griffith
Stadium the elimination contest to
find a successor to Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis. Each says he
is fit and ready and looks it. It is
a scheduled 10-round fight for bene-
fit of the Variety Clubs welfare
fund and Charles Is at least a 9-5
favorite.
Charles already is a prominent
contender for the heavyweight title
and Bivins, who has been on the
outer fringes of the good heavy
weights for years, can become one
by upsetting Charles. Charles also
is signed to fight Joe Baksi In
Madison Square Garden. New York,
in November in another elimination
fight. Assuming he wins both, fu-
ture plans call for him to go against
Jersey Joe Walcott, or the winner
Of a Wa1cott-Gus Lesneyich fight
with the title probably at stake.
Fourth Meeting for Two.
With so much hinging on to-
morrow nights fight. 1t promises t.
be a good one. OF Charles there is
no doubt. His bouts always are
classy. He's a skillful boxer with
plenty of punch. Bivins has had
some bad fights, but also many good
ones. He doesn't have-or at least
he hasn't shown in the pasta
punch to equal Charles, but he is
a fair stopper and fancy boxer Tor
a heavyweight. Both are light for
heavyweight contenders-Charles is
around 178 and Bivins just shade
over 18O-but their lack of extra
heft should make for an interesting,
fast fight
1t will be the fourth meeting be-
tween these two. Bivins won a de-
cision in 1943, Charles evened 1T
by taking the duke in 1916. Last
wear. Charles got his second win OF
the series with a four-round knock
out.
Helping Bivins' chances tomorrow
night is the fact that he has been
training for nearly two months.
He hasn't always been a good
trainer, nor has he always taken his
fights so seriously, one reason for the
spots on his record. He has done
good work getting ready for this
one. though, and. one reason for
such a long training grid is that
this fight has been twice postponed
due to real or imagined Charles in
juries. Charles forced these post
ponements with his tales OF woe and
only hurt himself by giving Rivlns
mere time to get in shape.
Charles Eager for Fight.
But Charles, too, appears in top
trim. He has been in washington
more than a week showing his wares
against a variety of sparring part
ners, and has clouted them around
right freely. His manager, JAKE
Mintz, processes to be worried, but
it's the worry of a man who almost
has the championship in his grasp
and who fears a slipup somewhere
may spoil his dream. Charles him.

FORREST HILLS, L. l., Sept. IL
The three Washington tennis
players who competed in the Ma
tionsl championships here today
turned in fine performances despite
their defeats.
In the women's singles Charlotte
Decker played tennis far better than
the 6-1, 81, score for Louis
Brough, 1947 women's title-holder
would indicate Barney Welsh played
superb tennis for one set against
William Talbert and Capt. Robin
Hippenstiel did we'll against Bruce
Thomas of Florida.
During the first two sets of his
match, Welsh showed only flashes
of his best game with an occasional
service ace or Scintillating fore
hand drive. His efforts to sustain a
winning streak were stopped sharply
by Talbert.
With the start of the third set,
Welsh served notice on Talbert he
was out to win by breaking through
the second-seeded stars service for
a 10 lead. He did SO after long
deuce game during which the Wash
1ngton star confounded Talbert by
pasting his first service for an ace
Barney then won his own service,
an ace and hard serves providing
the points. Sensing danger, Tai
bert got down to work and took the
n=xt two games handily, losing only
one point in the process. The hfth
game provided a crucial one. After
deuce had been called twice, Welsh
got to advantage by making
beautiful cross court drive on the
dead run. He followed that up by
hauling off on Talbert's service and
driving it back with fore-hand
drive that left the Davis Cupper
standing watching the ball go by.
Barney Wins Exciting Game.
With the score 80 in his favor,
Welsh retained his own service
for a AZ lead, and dropped Tai
berts for 4-3 The next game
proved the most exciting of the set.
Welsh started off poorly by losing
the first two points on errors. He
came back quickly with two drives
that beat Talbert cleanly, A cagy
lob by the seeded player gave him
advantage but the Washington star
evened the score with another scar
ing forehand placement down the
line. After Barney reached ad-
vantage twice more only to lose the
next point, he hit his service with
such speed that Talbert was forced
into making two successive errors

bean watering under local con-
ditions.
Molenaar, who was in charge
of the project, pointed out that the
results were somewhat contrary
to the practice followed by many
Spokane growers, who have been
putting on considerably more wa
ter than the optimum indicated by
the experiment. He also said that
not only did the tomato plots that
were on a limited amount of wa
ter yield best, but they also ma
tured earlier and were less af.
fected with cracking.
The results of the project in
dicated that for tomatoes in Spo-
kane valley the optimum amount
of water for the season appears to
be IL inches and for beans Is
inches. Varying the length of time
between irrigatons made no diff
ference in yields; whether the
crops were irrigated every four
days, every 8 days, or every IL
days they yielded the same, pro-
vided that the total amount of wa
ter they received during the sea-
son remained unchanged.
In the case of tomatoes total
of 1918 inches of water for the
season produced a yield of 24.1
tons per acre; 173s inches of wa
ter produced 1913 tons; and 23A
inches produced 20.1 tons.
Beans acted quite differently to
the water treatment, the yields
increasing with the amount of wa
ter. When the water was increas-
ed on the beans, from 12-7/8 in
ches to 1875 inches the greatest
increase Inf yield was obtained,
amounting to 786 pounds per acre.
When the water was increased
from 1875 inches to 1914 inches
the resulting increase in yield
was 166 pounds.

tentative results OF only one sea-
sons experimental work. He en-
phasized that, although the gener-
al principal for giving tomatoes a
minimum and Deans maximum
amount of water will probably
aold true everywhere, these
mounts must be varied to suit
he different soil and climatic con-
ditions in different parts of the
state. Thus, more water would
likely be needed in areas like Ken
newick where the soil sander
md the climate warmer thap in
Spokane. It is expected, he said,
that the experiments will be re-
peated for one or more seasons,
especially those with tomatoes.
