strong threat to the Rocco's bid for
finals berth.
Laurel Owls will be facing one
of the top quintets in the tcurna-
Tment as they oppose the National
Guard Five. The Guardsmen have
eliminated Harrington Legionnaires
and Dover Bulldogs, two first di-
vision quintets in the Eastern
Shore League. Jack Fiorelli, Dick
Hopkins and Jerry Moore are all
hot handed artists for the Guards
men with the floor play of Fiorelli
being the talk of the early tOurna-
ment play. Hopkins and Moore
have been hitting consistently in
double brackets. Laurel Owls Of
fensive attack has been a standout
in their two previous contests. They

Owls while the towering Allen Phil
lips has added strength to their
lineup. Harlan Fleetwood, George
.GoOtee and Bob Lowe also feature
strong in the Owls hope for vic
tory over the Guardsmen.
Both contests this week should
provide top notch cage play and
attract one of the largest crowds
of the tournament.
Rocco's 70 to 20 victory over the
strong st. Hedwig's five was by
far one of the best cage attractions
to be presented on a down-state
court this season. st. Hedwigs,

iod and midway the quarter went
out in front 43-42. Going into the
final period they led 54-46. st. He'd

minute of play took a One-point
lead. ROccO's hit again to dead

Eastern Title Hopes Depend
|On Success of Line Switches
By Bob Honson
(Another in a .SerieS.l

If Coach Dick Mentzer and
his assistants at Eastern get a
few kinks ironed out of this
years football team the Ram
blers could possibly pick up where
they left off two years ago.
Interhigh champion in 1850
and 81 under Mentzer. Eastern
had a mediocre record last year.
In its first two games the team
has broken even, losing the
opener to Lebanon, Pa, 1876, but
bouncing back for a 14-0 victory
over Hagerstown last Friday.
"We have shown notable i'm
provement since the Lebanon
game" MentZer said, "but a few
rough spots need to be smoothed
out"
Backfield Prospects Good.
The backf1eld doesn't appear to
be one of them. In Ed Mulligan,
quarterback, who does most of
the passing and place kicking;
Dave Eddington and Gay Clark.
halfbacks, and Bob Ellis, full
back, Mentzer has a fairly
smooth-working quartet oper-
ating the split-T.
Ellis, 5-foot-9, 165-pound SEN
ior and last years quarterback,
missed the first four days of
school and the trip to Pennsyl-
vania for the opener with
Lebanon. But with less than
two weeks practice he has caught
up with the rest of the squad
and is being counted on heavily
in future games.
During the summer, Ellis, who
also plays basketball and catches
for Eastern's championship base
ball team, moved with his par
ents to nearby Maryland. He
enrolled at high school near
his home, but decided he didn't
like it and re-entered Eastern
after four days despite having
to pay tuition.
This week Mentzer has been
shifting some of his players to
other positions, particularly line
men, in preparation FOR the in
terhigh opener this afternoon
against Chamberlain. In addi-
ton to Mulligan, Eddington,

and VMI has reason to be wary
of the Colonials through the air.
The Colonials also are ready to
spring a number of good rum

shows promise of going we'll is

Playing out of a bunker is one
of the easiest shots in golf, a
shot which allows more of a
margin of error than any other.
You don't even have to hit the
ball on a short bunker shot. All
you have to do is hit the sand be-
hind the ball. OF course, it must
be done properly. but it isn't
hard with the sand wedge we
use today.
The sand wedge I mean is a
heavy club. deeply lofted. with
a large amount of clubface sur
face and a large f1ange which
prevents the club from digging in
too deeply. These clubs are so
heavy they will practically swing
themselves if you let them.
On bunker shots (as illustrated
in A and b the stance is opened
considerably with the hips facing
to the left. Make sure that you
are loose and easy and under no
obvious strain, with you feet well
anchored for the shot, otherwise
they might slip in the sand.
Wiggle them around to secure
good footing. noticing the tex
ture of the sand meanwhile. AS
can be seen from the address
positions above. the clubhead
is Just off the sand. There is a
penalty for soling the club at ad-
dress in this shot.
The clubface is open as you
address the ball. Aim approx
mately / inch back of the ball
for most bunker shots. Your
hands are out in front. In taking
the club back little on the out
side of the line, break your
wrists early, as in c above.
The idea is to let the club come
up fairly abruptly because it is
necessary to hit down into the
sand on the downswing until the
clubface digs into the sand be-
hind the ball. Use a long back
swing as shown in D because the
swing should be smooth, not a
jerky one or a scoop.

Lambeau Predicting
Redskin Victory in
League Debut Sunday
By Lewis F. Atchison

Coach Curly Lambeau pre-
dicted today that the Redskins
will win their 1853 National
Football League debut against
the Cardinals in Chicago Sum-
day.
The veteran coach made one
slight qualification. More in
juries in key positions would be
the Redskins undoing, he said.
Were pretty thin" Lambeau
explained, but I honestly think
we're going to win unless we get
too many added injuries"
The already crowded casualty
list has been increased by the
addition of Tackle Laurie Niemi
and Knox Ramsey. guard and
linebacker. Ramsey is definitely
out of action because of strained
muscles, and Niemi, one Of the
teams workhorses, is only a
probable starter because of an
old knee injury.
Haynes Likely to Stay Out.
They Joined Halfbacks Harry
Gilmer and Hall Haynes, who
have been sidelined 10 days.
Haynes hoped to play against
the Cards. but his fractured
wrist may keep him idle another
week.
Lambeau said he looks for the
Cardinals to answer a lot OF
questions concerning the Red
skins. The most important is
whether the club has the spirit
and courage for the tough title
grind.
when things are rough like
this" Lambeau said, "a team
must have the right attitude and
fight that much harder to over
come its handicap. A good team
will show that kind Of fight be-
cause it knows it will be better
next week. and even better the
week after that"
Curly said he thought the
Redskins would do all right
against the Cardinals, and that
they would improve as the all
ing men returned to active duty
Important Practice Today.
Today was the most important
of the week in practice. II
things went well. the players
showed a lot of pepper and
seemed to know their assign
ments. Lambeau looked for a
polished performance Sunday.
A ho-hum session meant another
tough afternoon for the defen-
sive unit.
The squad will fly to Chicago
tomorrow morning, with light
workout scheduled at Comiskey
Park following arrival.

and said: Eyes, and that goes
for me, too" The umpire took
off his mask and. with appropri-
ate gestures, said: Get outta

The offending players disap-
peared without further argu-
ment. Guthrie readjusted his
mask and the game went on.
The plane took off in time. It

remembers. Firpo was up and

sermon this week has been that
Washington and Lees first team
is as good as Maryland's, and
this is no time for letup.

However, the Terps used 38
men in their 20-6 triumph over
Missouri last week and Tatum
credited the depth of his squad
for the 13 points in the final

was a TO ball game with Mary

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Ap-
proximately 80 years ago, Jack
Dempsey fought Luis Firpo in
this town. A gentleman who is
a big league manager today was
playing for Detroit at the time
and somebody had been kind
enough to give him two seats for
the fight. The player invited
Harry Heilmann to go along.
They had slight problem.
Detroit was playing at WASH
ington the day of the bout and
in those days the games started
at 3 pm. but the two men had
a friend who had an airplane in
Washington and he said he'd fly
'em to New York after the game.
Two hours before game time,
the friend called to say that
complications had arisen. A new
rule had been put in at the air
field closing down departures
after S pm. If a plane wasn't
off and winging by that time, it
couldn't leave until the next day.
This was serious. It called for
drastic action. Fortunately He'll
mann and his host could think.
They sought out Bill Guthrie,
who was to umpire behind the
plate that afternoon.
Bill" they said, 1--WE have
two tickets for this fight. The
only way we can make it is to get
tossed out of the game .early.
Would you be q nice fellow and
fix us up?"
Guthrie smiled expansively
and said: Gentlemen, you've
always been aces with me: it'll
be a pleasure"
So in the first inning. this
player came to bat. Heilmann
was the next hitter, and there

first pitch a strike. It was.
