AT Tropical Park
After Power Fails
By the Assoeiated Press

MIAMI. Fla, Dec. 8.-Electric
power failed at Tropical Park as
the horses entered the paddock
area for the third race yesterday.
There was considerable confu-
sion as the mutuels board went

wasn't sufficient power for other
activities.
With the mutuel board dark,
the changing odds were called

late. Power was restored after
about an hour.

Quontico Looking for Trouble
From Fort Ord's Star Backs

However, Quantico has a few
weapons of it's own and a de-

held the opposition scoreless in
six of the IL games.
Before leaving by plane yes

ing back and Rex Boggan of
Camp Lejeune as the best line

Anacostia High Five
OPENS With Victory

Although there was little
learned from Anacostia's 1922
victory over Mackin yesterday.
the feeling among Indian sup
porters seems to be that Ana
costa at least will be able to
avoid the bottom three places
when the Interhigh basketball
standings become final in Feb
ruary.
Last year Anacostia opened
with three victories in row and
then dropped II straight to fin
ish seventh in the league. Coach
Russ Lombardy doesn't believe
his boys will repeat that per-
formance.
Mackin brought onl- eight
men to the Anacostia court yes
terday after the recent report
card whitfield several regulars
from the squad. Coach Don Hill
lock, too, believes his boys will
improve on last years record.
Mackin didn't win any of its II
contests last season.
All 13 Anacostia players got
into the game and only three
failed to score a point. Zeke
Zirkle, a returning regular, led
the Indians with 19 points, fol-
lowed by Dick Butler with IL.
Center Bill Hogan's 10 points was
high for Mackin.

Groat PAGES BeIvoir
To 1916 Victory

Dick Groat continues to bet
ter the 20-point-per-game pace
he set last year as the leading
scorer on Fort Belvoir's ALL
Army basketball champions.
Last night at Norfolk the for
mer Duke All-American threw
in 80 points to boost his average
to 29.9 in IL games. His total.
plus 13 points by Don Solinsky
and 10 by Don Byrd, were the
big factors in an 1916 victory
over Destroyer Force. Atlantic.

ice team of this area last night

Lambeau Is Hoping
RedskinsC Can Get Up
For One More Game
Bx Lewis r. Atchison

Coach Curly Lambeau has set
himself to the task of arousing
the Redskins for Sundays final
game of the season against the
Pittsburgh Steelers. The wind
up at Griffith Stadium easily
could be the most bruising affair
Of the season.
Eddie Kiely, Pittsburgh's ad-
vance man, arrived here yester-
day with a pocketfull of damp
hankies. He's moaning about
the Steelers' battered physical
condition. End Elbie Nickel,
Halfback Lynn Chandnois and
Fullback Fran Rogel are ailing,
Kiely reported. and can go only
at half speed if they go at all.
FinkS Due to Play.
But the Steelers expect to have
Jim FinkS, their regular quarter
back who has been idle because
of a leg injury. F1nks got in
for only a couple of plays in the
first RedSkin game and if he is
ready his passing could make a
big difference. In Finks' alb
Sence Bill Mackrides has filled
in at quarterback.
Kiely's tale of woe is ample
warning to Lambeau that the
Steelers have mischief in mind.
AS for injuries, Curly needs no
advice on that subject. With half
the Redskins on and off the hos
pital list. the veteran coach is
somewhat of an expert on what
bunch of cripples can do. He
sincerely fears the Steelers.
Lambeau seems concerned that
his men might take too much for
granted this week, with second
place money at stake. They have
no guarantee. he pointed out,
that undefeated Cleveland will
beat the Philadelphia Eagles,
even though the division cham
pionS will be heavy favorites.
And Curly won't be satisfied with
half-share of the second place
booty if the Eagles lose. He wants
the Redskins to get it all.
GiImer May Not Play.
Harry Gilmer, who missed the
Eagles game because of the mud,
may not be used against the
Steelers, Curly said. Harry thinks
he's ready, although still limping,
but it would be foolish to risk a
further injury to his leg in the
last game of the season when
prolonged rest would speed his
complete recovery.
If Lambeau can get an encore
of last Sundays game out of the
squad, the Redskins will give
their guests a run for the money.
The coach isn't one of those who
feel the mud helped the Red
skins and hindered the Eagles.
He thought the Washington
eleven was "up" for the game
and plainly showed by Thurs
Gay that it was in a winning
mood.
Curly was particularly pleased
by the lines play. He singled out
Dick Modzelewski, ex-Maryland
tackle. as one of the most i'm
proved men up front. Little
Mos" last two games, Curly said,
have been real pro jobs. Mo, he
thinks, finally has become a
full ll-fledged journeyman after a
trying apprenticeship.

Last year should've been our
year" Gabe signs. 1t almost
was, too. The Riders won every
game during the regular sea-
son. Then Wilson knocked 'em
off in the final game of the Dis
trict Interhigh championship
playof. George Washington did
it in the first round of the Metro
politan tournament.
1--WE averaged 63 points a
game during the regular season, "
Gabe says. Against Wilson in
the playof we scored 38 points.
And those 38 points were hard
to get"
1t was only a one-point loss to
CIV, but the Riders thought they
had at least the Interhigh title
wrapped up. Just the week be-
fore the Wilson loss the Riders
overwhelmed the Wilson team
by 16 points.
No Title in IL Seasons.

Boys Hospital Stay Points Up
Value of Football Insurance

| his kidney because Of a blood
clot. But, as it turned out, it
was only necessary to remove
the clot.
Needless to say, Mike received
the best attention during his
stay at Garfield, and the insur-
ance took care of every penny
of the expense.
The policy, which for the first
time covered every athlete in the
District school system, cost about
$1,000 and took care of injuries
suffered not only in games. but
during practice and transporta-
tion to and from games.
"Of course. we never expected
to get $1,000 worth out of the
policy" Pearce admits. But. he
might have added, it wouldn't
have taken many more injuries
like Mike Deuel's to have eoualed
the price of the insurance.
OOO0 SCnOlaf.
Another pleasant side to
Mikes case is his good scholar
ship. He won't be able to return
to school until after the Christ
mas holidays. but he made such
high grades before his injury
that he shouldn't have much
trouble making up the lost work
before the end Of the semester.
Mike, a 16-year-old junior. Is
determined to get back on the
football field next fall, out he'll
be sure to lace those pads more
carefully next time.
Mikes most immediate plans
are concentrated on attending at
least part of the Western football
banquet Thursday night. He
can walk fairly well by now, but
hasn't been able to stay on his
feet for too long periods.
And what does mother have to
say about these ambitions?
We'll see what the doctor de-
cides," Mrs. Deuel. cautions.

Phil Perlo, whose brother,
Hymie generally is considered
the best basketball player ever to
play at Roosevelt, figured in
Ferazzi's plans this season. But
Phil is hobbling around on
crutches. He has Clipped bone
in his left ankle, a result of the
football game with st. Johns less
than two weeks ago.
That would seem to put most
of the burden on Dick Preziotti.
the only other starter left from
last seasons team. Gone are Bill
Wright, Hal Pollin, Robbie Smith
ers, Jack Gyorda, Joe Rosen-
bloom, Bill Amos, Monk Caspar
and Bill Mccormick.
"Preziotti is the best player
I've seen in high school," Gabe
says. Hes little, but he's great.
He worked his way up from the
Junior varsity last season; he's
only a junior now. He's got
quick hands, he's a good shot,
he's a good team man, he has
a nice attitude just can't say
enough about him."
Fifth Starter in Doubt.
Preziotti, Larry Stearman,
another small. fast player; Ken
ny Erickson, who stands 6-foot-
az. and Ed Grant, 6-foot-212,
are Gabe's top four at this stage.
Perlo would have made it five.
Gabe still is looking for a fifth
starter.
The other starter could be
Lenny White, 6-foot-1l2, or
John Gustafson, 6-foot-4. or Joe
Gregory, 5-foot-9. or any of a
half-dozen others. The Riders
have had only a few practices,
but they have plenty of time.
They open a 17-game schedule
January 5 against Gonzaga.
They may not have the ma
terial they had last year, but they
have one thing going for them
the soft-spoken Ferazzi, who
started coaching basketball at
Central six years ago right after
getting his masters degree at
Boston University. His coaching
record speaks for itself: 105 vic
tories, AZ losses, two Interhigh
championships and two near
misses.

Knights of Columbus Reported
Trying to Buy Yankee Stadium

matters did not come under his
jurisdiction.
Yankee Stadium, often called
the House That Ruth Built"
was erected in the early 192Os.
Original cost reported at $2.75
million. improvements in the
mid-30s boosted the total esti-
mated cost to about $3.5 million.
When the entire Yankee Or
ganization was sold by the estate
of the late Jacob Rupert in 1945
the price was $2.8O0,OOO. Dan
Topping, Del Webb and Larry
McPhail bought the property.
Topping and Webb bought out
McPhail's third interest in 1947.
