For a Chinese boy who had
never heard of football until he
came to America, Danny Wang
is catching on in a hurry.
The 17-year-old defensive
guard for Coach Joe Carlos
Wilson High School eleven has
proved to be one of the few
shining lights in the Tigers
rather dismal season. He was
particularly effective in Wilson's
14-0 victory over Western last
Friday.
Danny is the stocky son of
Mr. and Mrs. Shou Chin Wang,
3031 Macomb street NV. He
came to Washington with his
family from Marking, China in
1916.
Kept Busy Learning English.
1t took Danny few years to
get acquainted with American
sports, few of which he had
ever seen in his native land.
+, I'VE play soccer and basket
ball in China" Danny said. And
when l came here 1 was too busy
learning how to speak English
to worry about the American
games"
When his junior year of high
school started Danny decided it
was time to learn something
about the confusing sport named
football. At the urging of his
school pals. particularly block
ing back Pete Boinis, he re-
ported for football practice.
He was something less than a
sensation for the first few weeks.
Danny recalls that he didn't
know a shoulder pad from a
yard marker for a few days. and
crawling in and out Of football
gear was a peculiar kind of tor
ture for him.
Rugged Build Helps.
But his rugged build, 5-foot-7
and 180 pounds, and his willing
ness to learn earned him a spot
on the jayvees. BY the end of
last season Danny had i'm
proved remarkably and was
promoted to the varsity.
This year Danny took over
the middle guard position on de-
fense, and has missed only a
few plays all season. Line Coach
Pete Labukas says Danny's one
fault was charging too high.
But he has learned how to
dig in and charge low" Labukas
said. "and has kept improving
with every game. He's a tough,
dependable kid"
Danny's parents have never

The club did not hold a lunch

Don Kellett resigned a radio

dition, Molesworth has served as

clubs. played in the backf1eld of
the Chicago Bears, coached the

weighs 1876. He stands about

HE wants very badly to play
college ball." ziobro says, but
what college would've wanted
him that heavy? He was much
too slow. Well, he went on a
diet in the summer and did a
lot of running. And he's picked
up an awful lot of speed"
Chacos has done wonders at
Roosevelt. Just a few years ago
that school was never spoken
of seriously when football was
discussed. Under Chacos, who
found himself temporarily out
of job when Central was trans
ferred to Cardozo, the Riders
won their first division football
title in 1851. They lost to East
ern in the playoff.
Pony Backfield.
ChacoS had to build a new
line this season and he's got a
pony backf1eld behind it. Perlo,
at ITS pounds, is the heaviest
back. But he's got backs like
Ziobro has guards. Dick Morgan,
Mike Kavounis, Jim Corsetty,
Jimmy Ross and Joe Gregory
all are light and fast.
And who will win? We're
forced to stick our neck out, so
we'll take Roosevelt on a hunch.

trouble for Roosevelt to-
morrow. This 165-pound fullback
and linebacker is one reason Tech
is hoping to get its first District
Interhigh championship in six
years.
"He runs like a fullback
should" Coach Stan Ziobro en-
phasiZes. II think he is the best
one in the city. You get one like
him every five years-if you're

Division, and the two victories

costa and Eastern. Western,
the division leader at this point,
lost to Wilson, a fourth-place
team in the other section.
Only Tie Mars Record.
Tech is one of four unbeaten
teams in the area. The Trainers
have one tie, TT, against a
Northwestern team they figured
to handle easily.
That was the trouble, or part
of it," ziobro confesses. "I
secuted Northwestern and fig
ured to beat 'em by three touch
downs. They played a terrific
football game against us. We
were lucky to get out with a tie"
Ziobro also has been lucky
with personnel, he admits. When
George Dutrow, a good halfback,
broke his arm against Falls
Church. ziobro came up with
Tom Calderwood. If Calder
wood isn't as good as Dutrow
would've been, it isn't noticeable
at this point and Dutrow, ac-
cording to the coach, would
have been terrif1c!"
He also has two good quarter
backs in Emmett DeMoss and
Tommy Merriman, another good
back in Tremaine Finch and four
guards, all of them first-string.
Bob Alexander, Charley Moy,
Jimmy Maher and Marcus Pc
rina leave little to choose from,
so ziobro keeps shutting them
back and forth.

Top BowIers Face Stern Test
In Dixie Classic Here Saturday

United States Clarke. who
hailed from Washington, won
the United States three times
during the tournaments first
eight years. He retired from
competitive bowling at the start
of World War II, but remains
as the only man to win the
United States two years straight
in 1878. TronSky, from New
Britain, Conn, has won the
United States twice.
Yet Clarke and TronSky have
prevailed IN the Dixie only once
each.
Outstanding Scores.
In spite of its more difficult
conditions, Dixie has produced
almost as many outstanding
scores as the United States ClaS-
sic. Four winners of the United
States have topped 2,100. an
average of 140, for the Is games.
Three winners of the Dixie have
done it. In 1850. Harry Peters of
New Bristol, Conn. set an all
time 15-game record for duckpins
in winning the Dixie with 2,117.
The record fell last year when
Oniel Wynne of Norfolk shot
2.142 to win the United States.
In last years Dixie, Art LaPlante
| of Baltimore won with 2,061 and
will be on hand Saturday to de-
fend the title.
( The Dixie has been green
pasture for bowlers with Italian
names. Four have won it and
a fourth tied for first place Mac
Carboni of New Haven, Conn,
got the tie and Ollie Pacini, Joe
FreSchi, Tony Santini and Frank
Micalizzi, all from Washington,
were the victorS.
AS for Santini, there seems to
be little distinction between the
two classics. He's won both. the
Dixie twice.

Change in BaIk Rule
Gives Batter Option
Of Accepting Pitch
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-When
the umpire yells "balk" next sea-
son the pitcher had better not
follow through. The batter might
hit a home run-and it would
count.
The balk rule came in for con-
siderable revision yesterday as
the Baseball Rules Committee.
a nine e-man group representing
the majors and the minors, ended
its first rewriting session in more
than two years.
Under the new rule batter
who hits a pitch on which a balk
has been committed has the
choice of taking the balk or the
result of his swing.
In the past the ball was dead
as soon as the. balk was called
by the umpire. The runners could
advance only one base and the
batter had to resume his place
at the plate.
Often a pitcher threw even
after the umpire had yelled
"balk." If the batter did hit The
ball, the hit didn't count because
of the balk.
Four other minor changes
were recorded as the committee
finished it's three-day meeting at
the Office of Commissioner Ford
Frick.
An umpire now may use his
judgment on how far base run
ners can advance after an over
throw has been interfered with
by fans. Previously the advance
was set by ground rules as well
as baseball rules.
Players who run the bases in
reverse to confuse the defense
now will be automatically out
without having to be tagged out.
Another change concerns de-
fensive interference. A batter will
be awarded first base if any
defensive player in the past
only the catcher) interferes with
batter's attempt to swing at
pitch.
The rules on base runners be-
ing out when hit by a fair batted
ball was clarified. A line was
added to include batters who,
naturally, become base runners
as soon as they hit the ball.

seen him play. but Mrs. Wang,
like most mothers, worries con-
Stantly about her son. Nom is
more on edge before a game
than I am" Danny said. But
outside of a few bumps and
bruises I've never been seriously
hurt"
Danny's father, currently en-
gagged in research work at Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
feared that football would dis
tract his son from his studies.
But since Danny kept his marks
up his father allowed him to
continue the sport.
Father Was in Embassy Here.
Mr.. Wang holds degrees from
Yale. Harvard and Columbia
and was a member of the Chi
nese Embassy here before going
to Boston.
Danny has his own system for
rating tough games. He counts
his aches and pains the day after
a game before passing judge
ment, According to his novel
system Mckinley Tech, which
defeated Wilson, gave him the
most trouble.
Larry O'Clery, Tech full
back, is the hardest runner I've
ever tried to stop" Danny re-
marked, "but Bob Rusevlyan of
st. Johns is the trickiest. :"
Danny didn't get a shot at
Rusevlyan when the elusive
Cadet took off on a 53-yard run
which beat Wilson, but he ad-
mits he had a hard time hold
ing on to the slippery Rusev-
lyan on other plays.
Danny believes his best game
was against Bladensburg. He
recovered two fumbles, one of
which set up a Wilson score, and
his work in the line forced the
Blades to run most of their plays
away from him.
College Ball Seems Out.
Collegiate football seems to
be out of the picture for the
likeable youngster. Nom wor-
ries too much about every game
and I wouldn't want to have
her alarmed for four more
years." he said. Besides, I'll be
kept plenty busy if 1 study
architecture"
Unlike most football players
who consider thick, juicy
steak the perfect meal, Danny
builds up his energy on his
mothers Chinese cooking. Lob
ster Cantonese is my favorite
DISH" Danny remarked, but
I like anything prepared Chi
nese style"
And the rugged 17-year-old
seems to know his preference
in football too. Asked which he
liked better, offense or defense,
Danny said, with mischievous
grin: Il like defense. On Of
fense you have to take it. On
defense you can dish it out"

More than 100 duckpin ex-
perts will converge on Wash
ington Saturday for a shot at
the toughest title in the game.
The 23d annual Dixie Classic
will be rolled in three five-game
blocks. successfully, at the King
Pin. Hyattsville Recreation and
Bladensburg lanes. starting at
10 am, 3 pm. and 7 pm.
The National Duckpin Con-
gress rates the United States
Classic as the No. tournament
OF it's kind. The bowlers con-
slider the Dixie a sterner test.
In the United States Classic
the stakes are higher and the
title is accorded more official
prestige. Thus, it may be
reasoned. the pressure is on
tighter than in the Dixie. Vic
tory in the United States event,
which costs $50 to enter, is
worth $1,000. In the Dixie it's
$500, with an entry fee of $25.
But the class of contestants is
the same, with the finest duckpin
performers in the country con-
gregated in both.
Psychological Difference.
There's one big material and
psychological difference. The
United States is rolled at one
plant and the Dixie at three. A
bowler of to flying start in the
United States can feel reasonably
confident of remaining in the
groove. In the Dixie he may be
harassed by the thought of ad-
justments in. the changing of
lanes. 1t isn't uncommon for
front-runnerS under these cir
cumStanceS to lose stride.

bowlers of all time, Astor Clarke

The Metropolitan Operas per-
formance of "Cavalleria Rusti-
Gamma" and "Pagliacci" was given
last night before an audience
small in numbers but vastly
demonstrative in it's enthusiasm.
Those who passed up the double
bill at the Capitol Theater missed
one of the finest presentations OF
"Cavalleria" this city has seen.
The same could not be said OF
"Pagliacci" which. in an entirely
new and original dress, disrupted
the long established ideas re-
garding the scenery without pro-
viding a satisfactory substitute.
The staging of "Cavalleria"
was different also with neat,
little inn nesting dead center
beneath a bridge which allowed
for some effective entries. The
church was on the left and above
it buildings were seen perched
on a hill. This was the setting
In which the teeming life of the
village flow around the tragic
story being unfolded.
Proves to Be Good Theater.
Opera has for so many years
focused oh the quality of vocal
ism of it's principle singers that
it is something of a novelty to
find it good theater as well.
Certainly as staged by Hans
Busch. the detail was strikingly
effective. Much thought has
been given to the chorus, which
is asked not only to sing we'll but
to act and to give character
study. The long orchestral in

Of the arias and the little action
suggested by the text have some
thing to do with it. But those
who come to hear this particular
opera. come for the music and
little else. Miss Peters voice is
well trained, sweet and resonant,
more lyric than coloratura in
timber. Her altissimo register is
as yet thin.
The Monterone of Norman
Scott, the Sparafucile of Jerome
Hines. the Maddalena of Jean
Madeira added color to the per-
formance, as did the supporting
roles sung by Thelma Votipka,
George Cehanivsky, Gabor Ca

opera. Another of Rudolf Bing's
new productions, as to scenic
effects and costuming. the opera
showed careful planning of the
