Redskins and Eagles
Figure 10 Produce
Battle
By Lewis F, Atehison

You may look for a batch of
adding machine figures Sunday
when the Redskins 60 Eagle hunt
ing in Philadelphia. On the form
sheet it seems that nobody can
stop Sammy Baugh, and the Red
skins can't stop Van Buren,
Pritchard & Co. The result should
be tally beyond the widest
imagination Of a congressional
appropriations committee.
Last year the Birds amassed 80
points to the Tribes AZ and took
both games. Two years ago they
accumulated 80 points to the Red
skins 56 and swept both games.
In 1916 Prof. Greasy Neale's stu
dents outscored Washington, 55-
"a, in dividing the series, and
there is an abundance of such
scores as 1890 and 21-17 scattered
through the history Of this classic.
Redskin Coach Billick Whelchel
had hopes of sneaking of the
reservation and trapping himself
a fat, juicy Eagle this week. Next
to Bear steak nothing is quite as
palatable to the Skins in late Oc-
tober as fried Eagle. But the Chi
cago Bears barged onto the scene
and shattered Whelchel's dream
by handing Philadelphia 1921
pasting. It was the Eagles first
loss since last December when the
Boston Yanks up-ended them.
It's . 'Must" for Eagles.
Billick now can put all those
upset plans he schemed into the
cooked hat he wore on formal
occasions in the Navy because the
Flock will be on guard Sunday.
Neale's pets had their long-await-
ed letdown last Sunday and as a
consequence dropped into a first
place tie with the surprising Pitts
burgh Steelers. They have got to
win this one because Pittsburgh
will be host to the dispirited Bull
dogs-an almost certain win-and
another loss would push the Ea-
giles further down the ladder.
Any hope the Redskins had of
catching Neale without his think
ing cap on was dispelled by the
happenings at Chicago, where the
mighty Steve Van Buren, the
leagues best legman, was held to
a measly 18 yards on Is trips with
the ball. The solid Chicago de-
fense proved it was no huke by
checking speedy Bosh Pritchard
with IA yards on 10 running plays.
In all, the grinding Philadelphia
ground game was thwarted with
an almost unbelievable 42 yards.
Both Click in Air.
The Eagles had no trouble NOV
ing through the air. but neither
did the Bears. Johnny Lujack's
tosses accounted for all four Chi
cago touchdowns and as good as
the youngster may be he still
isn't better than Baugh. The in
ference is that Sir Samuel can

Bucky, Man of Word, Puts
Hustle in Players on Field

apparently restrained appearance
he is ordered from the premises.
When Harris is handed a dead
fish" sort of club he is likely to
resort to any method to instill
fight among his athletes, quietly
building up a feud with the oppo-
sition as way of extracting in
spired baseball from his team.
Harris always has been found in
the midst of developments on oc-
casions when situations reached
the f1st-finging stage.
Pleas Avoided Strike.
He inspires loyalty. In 1943.
when Owner Bill Cox fired him as
manager of the Philadelphia
Phillies-Bucky learned of it by
reading the newspapers - the
Phillies voted to go on strike in
protest. A personal plea to the
players by Harris prevented the
strike.
Bucky was fired by Cox because
of his bluntness. In 1943 the Phil
lies were early season sensations
and Harris was no less elated than
Cox, at the unexpected behavior
of his collection of castoffs. He
was more realistic, though, when
Cox queried him as to where
Philadelphia might finish.
We'll be lucky to finish fifth
and we figure to finish sixth" said
Harris. When the Phillies skidded
Cox gave Harris the ak. The
Phillies finished in seventh place.
In taking over the Mats, Harris
will be managing a team that
finished a dismal eighth in 1949
and he will be facing a gigantic
rebuilding task.
Familiar With Some Players.
Harris knows something of the
capabilities of most of the present
Mats, however. Four players were
with him when he last managed
Washington in 1912. They are
Catchers al Evans and Jake Early
and Pitchers Sid Hudson and
Scarborough. 1t was under Harris
that Hudson enjoyed his most Sue
cessful season, winning II games
as rookie in 1910.
Outfielder Buddy Lewis played
under Harris from 1885 through
1941, while Outfielders Bob Ortiz
and Ed Stewart also have seen
service under Harris, Stewart be.
ing traded to the Mats by tie
Yankees when Harris was man

Harris long has been a favorite
of Griffith, who will be 30 on No

has declared, "Bucky can get more
out of team than anybody else
in baseball"

Georgetown Will Face
Ace Passer in Battle
With Boston College

If Georgetown hopes to stop
Boston College in Friday nights
game at Boston it first will have
to stop Ed Songin.
That's a stiff order, because
Songin rates as one of the most
effective passers among the coun-
try's major colleges. He's a 200
FOUNDER who isn't easily pushed
around, and he throws a lot. Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
figures show he's completed 81 of
112 passes-a percentage of 1872
for 646 yards and three touch
downs.
Only Tom O'Malley Of Cincin-
natl and Indy Berry of Texas
Christian have completed more
passes and both have played in
five games as compared to Son.
gins four.
Hoyas' Defense Good.
0eorgetown's pass defenses have
been more than adequate to date.
but the Hoyas also haven't met
up with any one of Songin's cali
ber. 1t should make for an in
teresting game up there on Fri
day night.
The Hoyas also must watch for
Boston's running game. Until
last week the Eagles had been pri-
marily a passing team, but In the
25-25 tie with Mississippi they
tried a ground game and found it
very good.
Much of their ball toting is
handled by Halfbacks Tony Can
nava and Joe Dominick. both
seniors. John Farrell. another
senior. has replaced Ed Classy,
who has broken leg, at fullback.
Practice Hindered.
Georgetown leaves for Boston
by train tonight which seriously
hindered this weeks practice.
They'll get q workout tomor-
row. but 1t will be only a signal
drill. Coach Bob Margarita was
disappointed over the Hoyas'
showing against New York U. last
Friday night, not because they
won by only two touchdowns-he
didn't expect more-but because
the teams basic play didn't show
any Improvement over the pre-
vious week. Such fundamental
items as blocking and tackling
plus general team zip. weren't up
to par.
1--WE came out Of that game
without an injury, not even a
bruise. I don't want to get boys
hurt, but they at least should
bang in there hard enough to pick
up few bruises here and there"

do it this week or it will be mighty

Altnough George washington
and Washington and Lee didn't
play one another last year, they'll
have pretty good idea of what
to expect in the way of offensive
systems when they tangle at
Griffith Stadium Friday night.
George Barclay, new W. and l..
coach, was assistant coach at
Maryland last year, and Maryland
and G. w. did play each other.
G. W.'s single wing system was
secuted pretty thoroughly by the
Terrapins and Barclay undoubted-
ly still has the diagrams. At w.
and L. he is using the same
Farout- Tatum- Wilkinson split r
displayed by the. Terrapins, and,
of course, G. w. got more than an
|eyeful of that last year.
AS far as the two coaches are
concerned it will be like old home

Davis Able to Play.
Announcement that Tailback
Andy Davis is ready to play after
taking part in a light scrimmage
yesterday raised George Washing
tons hopes for a victory that
would put it ahead in the series
against the Generals. Davis sat
out last weeks winning game
against Virginia Tech to rest his
injured knees. Davis will have to
wear brace on his left knee, but
he's been doing that all this season
and still has accounted for more
than 10 per cent of G. w. yardage
with his passing and running.
This will be the eighth game
In an intermittent series, with
each having won three. while one
was tied. w. and L. won the
last meeting in 1947 by a score
Of 1876.
With the present G. w. effense,
the Generals can't figure on stop
ping the Colonials by stopping
Davis.
Du Goff Packs Punch.
AL Du Goff with his four touch
downs against Virginia Tech last
week showed that the Colonials
have a dangerous fullback, but
overlooked in that game was the
fine play Of Wingback Jimmy
Kline. He carried nine times
against the Gobblers and totaled
80 yards. Du Goff's gains from
scrimmage were only yards
more.
Wingback also is the spot from
which Charley Jones, another fine
runner, perhaps the fastest on the
squad. and pass catcher operates.
Spelling Du Golf at fullback is
Bob Cilento, a good line FOUNDER,
while behind Davis at tailback is
Jack Tivnan, a promising passer.
Both Cilento and Tivnan are
sophomores who are getting bet
ter In every game and who are
due to come up with headline
grabbing performances at any
time.

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. 19.-
Four Washington and Lee half
backs have injuries which may
keep them out of Friday night S
Southern Conference battle with
George Washington, according to
Coach George Barclay.
Were not trying to paint the
picture blacker than it is, but
Frank Davidson. Jim Stark, Vic
Marler and Jim Gallivan-four of
our halfbacks-are not in good
shape and they will likely miss
.he ball game" Barclay said.
Davidson. Stark and Marler
have leg injuries. while Gallivan
is nursing an injured hand and
shoulder. Stark, f1rst-string left
halfback did not play at all
against Virginia last Saturday,
and Marler. a fine offensive play
er, saw only brief action.
Center Has Recovered.
Barclay admitted there were a
couple of bright spots in the Gen.
erals picture.
Joe McCutcheon, first = string
center, will be ready for heavy
duty after playing against Georgia
Tech and Virginia only on offense.
End Talbot Trammell, a fine pass
catcher, has shaken of the ef-
fects of an ankle injury which had
sidelined him for three weeks.
The Washington and Lee at
tack. geared by Gil Bocetti, the
prize sophomore quarterback, will
continue to feature the tricky
laterals and razzle-dazzle which
kept Virginia fans in a dither
last Saturday.
Passes Are Promised.
IF we can find some halfbacks
to take the places OF the injured
boys, we will continue to rely
heavily on our running attack, but
both Bocetti and Ray Lester have
shown they can pass with the best
and Well use their passes when
necessary" Barclay declared.
The split T attack brought here
by the former Maryland line
coach has Washington and Lee
fans praising it as "the soundest
offensive seen here In years."

Bisons of the International League
in 1914. The following season
Bucky moved into Buffalos front
Office as general manager and
held that position for two years
until Larry MacPhail, then head
of the New York Yankees, signed
him as an administrative assist
ant.
MacPhail prevailed on Harris to
return to uniform and manage
the 1947 Yankees. Harris led them
to his third American League
pennant and again reaped the
glory which accompanies a cham
pionship team when New York
defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers in
the World Series.
Boosted San Diego Club.
MacPhail left the Yankees In
a huff the night the Yankees won
the championship. and Harris re-
mained another year to finish
third, only 21a games back of the
pennant winning Cleveland In
dians. He was fired and again
returned to the minors. this time
as manager Of the San Diego
Padres Of the Pacific Coast
League.
Bucky lifted the seventh place
Padres of 1948 to fourth place
this season and steered them into
the final playoff, losing six-game
series to Hollywood. Harris was
offered an attractive contract to
return to the Padres, who paid
him $17,500 this year.
Only one other manager, Patsy
Donovan, managed five different
big league teams. Harris has
been the only manager to direct
four American League clubs.
Faces Greatest Task Now.
Harris faces the most trying
task of his managerial career, for
he takes over the worst Washing

ing Yankees.
He assumes command Of a club
which boasts only one pitcher,
Ray Scarborough, who won more
than eight games last season.
There were no 800 hitters among
the Mats regulars in 1949.
It was Harris who helped the
Mats take their first step toward
improvement in 1850. He recon-
mended to Griffith the purchase
of Outf1elder Irving Noren from
Hollywood in q SIC. 900 deal. Noren
batted 1925 and drove in 119 runs
for the Stars last season.
But Bucky is confronted with
a vast rebuilding job. Griffith ad-
mits the Mats require bolstering

ticularly is concerned with forti-
flying his pitching staff and OBJ

Bucky Harris, who today signed
as manager of the Mats for three
years, is a man of his word who
has found that keeping that
pledge frequently may be expen-
sive. BY the same token, that
trait has installed Harris as one
of baseballs more popular figures.
Harris today might be general
manager of the rich Detroit
Tigers, possessor Of plush job
in plush surroundings. But that
Job was offered to him several
years ago shortly after he had
given his word to Larry MacPhail
that he would manage the New
York Yankees.
General manager of the Tigers
was a job I always wanted" de-
clared Harris at the time, but I
couldn't treat MacPhail shabbily.
After all, it was Larry who
brought me from Buffalo back to
the big leagues again"
Polished Pilot.
Bucky has been transformed
from a fiery young manager fresh
from the coal-mining region OF
Pennsylvania into a suave, pol
ished pilot. But if he has sub
merged his aggressiveness it is
only skin deep. He can't make
stars of sandlotters, but he has a
reputation of getting the best from
mediocre performers.
Baseball writer's consider Harris
a favorite because he is an out
spoken fellow who never bubbles
and never hides behind that moth
eaten excuse:
Il was misquoted."
Several years ago the Philadel-
phia Athletics were aroused be-
cause John Kieran of the New
York Times quoted Bucky as say
ing the AS were "a bunch of SWELL
headed stiffs." Bucky might have
ducked the issue and placated the
Philadelphia players. Instead, he
snorted:
You don't think Kieran is the
sort of fellow who makes up
stories, do you? OF course I said
it,"
When the Pittsburgh Pirates
beat Washington in the World
Series of 1925 Bucky was seeth-
ing. He didn't attempt to say
the better team won. I'VE weren't
beaten by better team" said
Harris. I'VE should have won"
