Georgetowns football team Is be-
ginning to resemble the night club
ads-new star every week. Last
week against Tulsa it was Billy
Conn who tipped the only two
passes of his college career, both for
touchdowns. Last night, against
the Fordham Rams, Tommy Hardi-
man provided the heroics with four
passes and four completions-two
for touchdowns-as the Hoyas
romped to a $50 victory before
10,036 fans at Griffith Stadium.
Hardiman, 19-year-old 1S3-
FOUNDER, had seen scant service with
Georgetown until Conn was yanked
from action last night as the result
of a kicked kidney. With Conn
idle in the second half, Hardiman
stepped in to snap the Hoyas out
Of their sluggishness.
Hardiman was a schoolboy sensa-
ton in Concord, N. H., where he is
identified as "Turnstile Tommy"-a
nickname he detests out Of modesty.
Tommy, it seems, had a stable fol-
lowing in Concord.
Hardiman broke into action in
only three plays against Tulsa, pick
ing up II yards in two running at
tempts and firing one pass which
was incomplete. Against the Rams,
however, Tommy boosted his aerial
average to 300 and his personal
stock considerably.
Hardiman a Baseball Star.
Rome Schwagel, Georgetown's
graduate manager of athletics and
a keen student of baseball, rates
Hardiman as a major league short
stop prospect. At the moment,
though, Hardiman is wrapped up in
the Hoyas' football fortunes and
apparently he will become more
deeply involved after his sparkling
performance last night.
Hardiman's four passes clicked
for "a yards. All were delivered in
the fourth period and his first COL
legiate completion was a touchdown
toss to Bill Rose, who took Tommy's
27-yard pass and scampered nine
more yards unmolested.
Shortly afterward Hardiman
whipped 25-yard pass to End Har-
vey Lowe, then followed with 16-
yard completion to Bill Mitchell in
the end zone. Mitchell snatched the
ball after it had ricocheted off the
hands of Gene Fitzgerald, George
town end.
Coach Jack Hagerty's lavish
praise of Conn after his Tulsa
showing was justified in so far as
the customers were concerned last
night. Billy gained only 81 yards in
nine leather Juggling efforts and
failed to complete the only pass he
threw, but he provided the most
pulsating play Of the night when
he sprinted SO yards into Fordham's
end zone. 1t was all for nothing
because the play was nullifled due
to a Hoya being offside.
On that spectacular sprint Conr
nearly was nailed in Georgetown's
end zone, but eluded the grasps oi
two tacklers, circled right end, cut
back and gathered momentum
Three times he apparently was
doomed when Rams bore down or
him.
No small figure in Georgetown's
triumph was Tony Boyer, medica
student who practices only three
times week with the Hoyas. Beyel
was q pesky defensive artist to tht

The big little word IF" stands be-
tween Anacostia's football team and
a crack at the District public high
football title. Anacostia's 25-7 vic
tory over Wilson yesterday, coupled
with Westerns 1912 loss to Tech,
put the Indians in sole possession
of second place. In the only other
series clash Coolidge edged Roose-
welt, 1912.
Anacostia Coach Zu Stewart isn't
optimistic over his teams prospects
of grabbing its first title, but he does
admit there is chance-IF.
Some one knocks Off Central and
we win the remainder of our games
and particularly Fridays game
against Western" Then it would be
Anacostia against Central for the
crown.
But" says Zu, II don't think any
one can stop Central now, although
Western has a chance.

Zu referred to a game played
three weeks ago, won by Central.
Burt and Butler Garry Mail.
But 1t was a different looking
Anacostia which trounced Wilson
yesterday. zu transferred Eddie
(Alabama) Burt from end to full
back and it made lot of differ
ence. With Burt plowing through
the Wilson line like a tank and
Bob Mitchell and Bill Butler breez-
ing around the ends, the Indians
piled up 20 first downs to for
Wilson.
Butler, who has missed much of
the season with hip injury, scored
the first touchdown in the. first
period on 10-yard gallop around
left end. That climaxed a 71-yard
drive. Mitchell set up the next
score a few minutes later on a ST.
yard jaunt down the right side
line to the Wilson 8. He went

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. %. - Harold
Crisler, elongated end, turned up in
the backfield today as the Redskins
worked out for tomorrowis game
with Green Bay. Crisler was tried
on defense during the week and
Coach Turk Edwards said he did
well enough to get a crack at the
job in actual competition. Appar-
emily it's part of a new strategy to
make 50-minute men out of all the
players and get away from the spe-
cialized play business. Backfield
Coach Wilbur Moore thinks Crisler
not only will be an asset on the task
defense but will be able to handle
any punts Jack Jacobs boots his
way. The tall end has bushel hands
and Moore figures if he can hang
onto Sammy Baugh's sharpshooting
passes he can hold punts. Dick
Poillon is another player who'll see
double duty against the Packers.
John Henry Hollar didn't make the
trip because of an injured knee.
Poillon will take his place on de-
fenSe.
The squads best tackler and pos
Sibly its best-spirited back, Poillon
also will be at fullback when Tom
Mont is at the helm. Howie Liv-
ington didn't make the trip which
practically accounts for Crisler's
transfer to the backfield on defense.
But even SO, only 27 men were
brought to Milwaukee. Edwards
thinks he has enough to give the
Packers battle. The player limit
was % when Turk came into the
league. And only 81 when Moore
and Wayne Miller joined the club.
EXTRA POINTS-It was serious
squad en- route to this city. The
sight of couple of empty tables in
the dining car where before there
has been standing room only, awed
the boys.
Bob de Fruiter, former Redskin
who was cut loose by Detroit, has
signed with the Los Angeles Rams.
Weldon Edwards, rookie tackle be-
ing recalled from Wilmington Mon
day by the Tribe, is reported to be
a much improved player. He won't
stay If he, isn't. Jimmy Youel is
reported to have quit pro football
rather than join Detroit, although
that club offered him his best op-
portunity for seeing action. Bruce
Smith, also signed by the Rams, had
pen in hand to sign a New York
Giants contract when he changed
his mind. Some of the Redskins
will see Paul Bryant's Kentucky
squad battle Marquette today.

6. ". Host 10 Terps,
Cards Face Hopkins
In Homecomers

Two homecoming games form the
gridiron menu for Washington this
afternoon. At Grifith Stadium at
2 o'clock, Maryland is resuming
football relations with George WASH
ington after 37-year layoff in the
G. w. homecoming, while Johns
Hopkins opens in Catholic Univer-
sity's homecoming tilt at G. U. at
2:30. Both teams are favorites.
Other top games involving teams
from this area are Navy at Penn
sylvania and Virginia Military at
Virginia. The latter game also is
the feature Of the Cavaliers home
coming celebration.
Although George Washington al
ready has tossed pair of surprises
into the football world with victor
les over Virginia Tech and Virginia,
the Colonials figured to be OUT
manned by the Terrapins in today's
big local game. Even if Vern Sci
bert, Maryland's leading ground
gamer, is Kept out by leg injury,
the Terrapins have plenty of re-
placements and a good variety to
their attack. Getting better in every
game are Vic Turyn, their passing
quarterback who also does an un-
usual amount of ball carrying for q
T-formation signal caller, and Harry
Bonk, the blocking fullback who
likewise has blossomed into a feared
ball toter.
Hubie Werner, Johnny Idzik, Earl
Roth and Joe Tucker are among
the other backfield men the Terra
pins have ready for use against the
Colonials today.
In comparison, G. WIS supply Of
proven backs is small. Andy Davis,
a Commute triple threat, has been
the main gun on offense so far,
although he's been helped nightly
at times by Jimmy Kline, AL Dugoff
and Dick Koester. The Colonia1s
also have Bill Spangler available for
punting duties and he's a rather
handy man in that department.
Not only does he get plenty of dis
tance to his boots, but he also is
very accurate with out-of- bounds
placements.
Catholic University is facing q
well balanced Mason-Dixon Confer
ence foe in Johns Hopkins. The
Blue Jays have averaged more than
$50 yards in three games so far.
They have a three-pronged aerial
offensive built around Eddie Miller,
Bob Foster and Tommy Gaudreau.
These three also, are good ball
toters, and in that department are
aided by Mort Kalus, a fullback
with all the line crashing skill usu-
ally associated with that post.
The Cardinals will counter with
fair offensive. Among their stand
outs are Joe Maiuri, one of the
Conferences top passers, runners
and kickers; Joe Dunn, an excep-
tionally good broken field runner,
and Whitley Hubert, another speedy
and powerful back.

night at student dance Kid

Thompson, wealthy young New
Yorker, has been carrying on &
personal crusade to bring his Ma.
tional Football League and the riva
ALI America Conference into 6
working agreement.
Its hopeless" Thompson sale
yesterday. THE leagues never viii
get together"
From now on, Thompson said, hi
is joining the other NFL clut
owners in a fight to drive the ALI
America "out Of the picture"
The Eagles owner said he hao
been interested in trying to bring
the two leagues together because he
thought that was what the fans
wanted.
"I have been trying to do every
thing for the fans" he said. 81
thought that the fans really wanted
to see the champions of each league
play in a sort of World Series Of
football"
: Thompson blamed a long series
i OF setbacks tn his fight for failure
to effect any consolidation. Among
the reasons he listed most promi-
nently were remarks made last
week by Dan Topping, president ol
the AAC's New York Yankees.
Thought He Had Succeeded.
II just about had it fixed," HI
said. Il felt that If they could gel
to know each other they might
settle their differences and end thil
silly business Of throwing money
away"
"But then Dan Topping blew hi
top. When my people heard what
Dan had said they backed out of 6
meeting I had arranged for mex
Tuesday in New York.
Now it's impossible to do any
thing more about it, and from nov
on I'm in the fight against tht
America as strongly as our othel
owners"
Topping, in the talk that broke
up the proposed meeting. tole
metropolitan sports writers Monda!
that the NILS New York Giant!
stood to lose 5000, 900 this season.
From the Giant officials came th'
retort:
Dams auditing our books again.
They added they would lose no
where near that amount, If any
thing.
Thompson said the recent dis
closure that Paul Brown intends tt
resign as coach of the AAC's Cleve
land Browns at the end of the cur
rent season shows "he just sees tn,
handwriting on the wall and i
getting out while he's on top"
