Almost every one occupying the

would do with it or to it, if finances

spring from something he has seen,
or from a definite need which the
house does not fill.

is so big he appears smaller than
he actually is. The Georgetown
coaches left Braves Field muttering
"How are we going to stop that
guy?'-but the question Is not a
new one. II they get the answer
that will be new.
The Eagles line is bigger than
Georgetown's, the backs faster, but
their big line gave a lot Of ground
to Wake Forests mediocre running
attack. They didn't use much in
deception in beating the Deacons,
26-9, as they didn't need much.
Wake Forest didn't score until the
last three minutes and then against
third stringers. Wake Forest COM
pleted a number Of short passes,
but at that the B. G. pass defense
was rated much better than last
year when the team won five and
lost four.

Cara watched Boston College in

Moore, Turf Owner,
To Be Buried Today
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 28.-
Funeral services were to be held to-
day for Edward S. Moore, Sc, owner
Of the Circle M Farm, prominent
thoroughbred establishment near
here, who died in New York Sunday
night.
Moore was a retired railway and
business executive.
Circle M Farm, one Of the most
successful stables in present-day
horse racing, covers the main por-
ton of the late Col. E. r. Bradiey's S
Idle Hour Farm. Moore's top
thoroughbreds included Cosmic
Missile and Relic.
Moore, long associated with
light horses of different breeds, en-
tered the thoroughbred field in 1941
when he purchased SlickaWay Farm
near here. He purchased his por-
ton of the Bradley Farm and 80
Bradley horses after Col. Bradley's
death.
He was honored a year ago by
the Thoroughbred Club Of America
as a leader in the development of
the thoroughbred. He was a gradu
ate Of Yale University and native
Of Chicago.
Moore had served as an officer
OF the st. Louis and Santa Fe Rail-
way, the American Brake Shoe &
Foundry Co., the Finance & Trade
Corp, the Beechnut Packing Co.,
the American Can Co. and the Ma

Happy That Dolby
Isn't BodIyHurt
BY the Asseeioisd Press

CLEVELAND, Sept. 28.-Cleveland
baseball fans were breathing easier
today after the announcement that
the injury to Larry Dooy's right
elbow was more painful than serious.
It was feared at first that Dolby
had suffered . possible fracture
when he was hit by Hal Newhouser,
who tried to pick him on second
base in the fourth inning OF Sun
days game in Detroit.
x-rays showed, however, that the
blow caused no more than . bruise,
and In all probability the Negro
flash will be in the opening lineup
when the Indians engage the Chl-
cago White Sox tonight.
Everybody in this city is high on
Dolby. Even the umpires who come
here have q good word to say about
the 23-year-old youngster. Bill NC
Gowan and Cal Hubbard, two OF the
veteran arbiters of the league, agree
that Dolby will develop into one OF
the outstanding players OF the
circuit.
In the short time he's been with
the Indians-this Is his flrst full
season-Doby has become quite a
lfavorite with the fans as well as
with the club officials. They cheer
his every move. They applaud every
time he gathers in fly ball. They
raise the roof when he connects with
a long one. They even cheer when
he strikes out.
Manager Lou Boudreau thinks
Dolby Is the most improved outflelder
lin the American League.

College backs in Friday nights

At least Babe is bigger than Joe
Diminick, the Eagles Junior flash

Baranowski a half inch in height

Boston College opponents Of the
past two years have wished DIM
mick were bigger man, however,
because they might have had better
success in holding him.
There's not much Of Diminick to
tackle and thus he accumulated
602 yards rushing in SO attempts
last year, an average of 81 per try.
That figure gave him third place In
the East and 2lst in the Nation. In
addition he was the Eagles leading
pass catcher, although the figures
are not impressive because B. G..
featured a running attack last sea-
son.
Against Wake Forest last Friday
night in Boston the Hoya coaching
staff saw too much Of Diminick.
In the first quarter he broke
through for 16 and 20 yard gains
to set up the first TOUCHDOWN: he
sprinted 8 yards around end tor

the little fellow started on his own

Veeck visited the main post

EARLY this morning, when the

applicant could request up to
four blocks. Requests had to be
made by mail, with no money
included, and the mail had to be
