VS. Coach Still Means, but Prospects Aren't Bad
(Another in a SerieS.)
BY George Huber

Bo Rowland, George Washing
ton coach, has been put on the
spot by friendly sportswriters and
he wants off. When G. w. brought
up a dozen or so promising play
ers from last years unbeaten
freshman team it touched off stor-
les about how much stronger the
Colonials will be this year.
TT sounds nice in the papers" /"
said Rowland, ''but to me they
don't look as good as they do to
you fellows. It takes a mighty
exceptional sophomore to make up
for a senior. We did pick up some
players this year. but they just
about make up in numbers for
those who graduated. They don't
come anywhere near to making
up for the talent and experience
we lost.
Nov you tell me where you
are going to find a sophomore
that's as good as Dixie Howell on
defense or Harvey Shipman, our
biggest tackle, or Johnny Grin
nell as line hacker. or Bill Close
at end. Get me a back who can
run like AL Du Golf or block
like Stan Burak or kick like Frank
Cavello.
Looks Better Than 40 Squad.
'Oh, we picked up the men to
replace them if playing in the
same position is replacing them.
We've got about the same-sized
squad we had last year-and we
were awful thin then-and we
don't have nearly as much expert
ence or talent. So how do you
figure us to have a better season."
Despite Rowland's analysis of his
teams prospects. there are plenty
of CIV. supporters who figure an
improvement over last years As
record ahead. Virginia, Maryland
and Wake Forest appear too tough
for the Colonials, but they'll be
playing in their own league against
Virginia Military, West Virginia,
Virginia Tech, South Carolina,
Furman and Georgetown.
Still a cause for glee at the
downtown school is Handy Andy
Davis, the 170-pound Washington
Tech High product who does
everything gladly and expertly. He
is the best runner, passer, kicker
and defensive back on the squad.
He'll be playing at fullback most

other Tech High product and one

Davis also figures to do a lot
Of defensive playing, as he did
last year. The same goes for an
other talented holdover, Jimmy
Kline at wingback. Sharing wing
back with Kline is Charley Jones,
Davis favorite passing target. In
fact, there hardly is a player on
the team who isn't ticketed for
more than one position, plus duty
on both offense and defense.
Among the other backs who'll
play are Lou Ciarocca. a 175-

isn't as bad as it might seem to
Coach Rowland with the opening
game only a few days away, nor
is it possibly as bright as the more
ardent Colonial rooters might
hope for. The team doesn't have
enough reserves. The running
and passing attacks are a shade
better than good, but the de-
fense is spotty, at times poor.
A few sizeable scores probably
will be chalked up against the
Colonials, but they can do some
scoring themselves. Possibly five
wins and four defeats are ahead.

Power Plant To Be
Built Near Kingwood

An electric generating station Of
1850 900 kilowatts costing $20,000,000
will be constructed by two West Penn

Schedule of construction calls for
the first of two units in the new plant
to be in operation in the middle Of
1852 and the second toward the end

Earle S. Thompson, West Penn

new plant is on the Cheat River at
Albright, three miles northeast of
Kingwood Test borings were made
earlier this month at the site as a
preliminary to construction. Monon-

Del Ennis, SIugging OutfieIder,
Cost Phi||ies Only Subway Fare
Leagues RBI Leader
Is Home Run Hitter,
Stondout on Defense
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-Just
how much it cost the Phillies to
sign Del Ennis. their star outfield-
er. is a moot question. Some say
81s cents. others 10 cents.
The argument hinges on
whether the husky graduate of
Philadelphia's Olney High School
purchased subway fare tokens at
three for quarter or paid 10 cents
in cash for the trip to the Phillies'
Office to sign his contract in 1912.
Del. himself, doesn't recall. of
course.
Actually, it cost the club, then
owned by Bill Cox, few cents
more. Scout Jocko Collins spent
several more nickles for telephones
and subway rides to North Phila-
delphia in his successful effort to
persuade Ennis he should play for
the Phillies.
But whatever the cost, it was
mighty small In comparison with
the thousands Of dollars paid out
later in bonuses to promising tai
ent. The Phillies themselves wrote
out a $65. 900 check In order to get
their star southpaw pitcher, Curt
Simmons.
His Homers Always q Threat.
From the time he climbed out Of
a Navy uniform in 1916 and
stepped into the Phillies lineup
without the benefit of spring
training. Ennis has been little
short of sensational.
His batting average never has
matched that of such sluggers as
Stan Musial and Ted Williams,
but it always has been in the
neighborhood of 800. And you
can be sure If the Phillies repre-
sent the National League in the
World Series, the American League
pitchers will treat Delmer Ennis
with respect.
His home run belts are always
threat and right now he is leading
the league in runs batted in. And
