Daley blameS the team two
straight losses on the Giants
rookie line. It's big and hits
hard, Bob says, but teamwork is
lacking. He thinks it's going to
be good line, and a good team,
eventually.
Young Daley did his stint in
the Army. winding up as a COR
poral. before joining up with the
Giants. It was a natural spot
for him, since he graduated from
Fordham, alma mater of most
of the Giants brass. Matter of
fact, Arthur Daley is a Fordham
alumnus and 25 years ago was
sports editor of the college paper.
Bob held the same job in his
senior year.
II looked up the back issues
to see how good he was then"
Bob conf1ded, land it really
wasn't bad. In fact, I picked up
about three-quarters of his fare
well column for my last. The
Fordham team records were re-
markably similar those years and
it helped me write a sentimental
column without being maudlin."

Bob Daley played basketball
in high school, won a few medals
in the high jump, and won the
national 100-yard breaststroke
championship in swimming in
1947. His was a better-than-
average high school sports rec
ord, but Bob was the family's
second best athlete. His younger
brother Kevin. an ensign taking
Navy flight training, was better.
HE won five major letters in
high school," Bob says. HE
played centerfield on the base
ball team, halfback in football,
pole-vaulted in track, swan the
220 freestyle, and was high
scorer of the basketball team"
Bob has one sister studying to
be nurse, and another coming
hand to hand for the the first
time with the problems of Sec
ond-grade addition, subtraction
and multiplication.
Bob taught ethics at Fordham
last year. while working on his
masters degree, and that should
be a help in his present work.
AS Greasy Neale used to say
when he coached the Philadel-
phia Eagles: Some of the
things done in pro football amt
eeethical."
Greasy must have been joking,
of course.

ID Bell Eleven Is Improving,
* But Not Quite Enough to Win
By Dick Sloy
(Another in a Series. J


There is nowhere to go but
up" is phrase that aptly de-
scribes the sports outlook at Bell
Vocational High School. Since
it entered District Interhigh
competition in 1949 Bell has yet
to win a league football game
and can count it's victories in
other sports on two hands. I'm
provement is inevitable, so to
speak.
There is little to lead one to
believe that this years football
entry is the one to pull the Vo-
cats out of the cellar, but Coach
Frank Kley has been heartened
by several Developments, never
theless.- The schools enrolment
is up, the boys are showing more
interest and Kley at last is get
ting some coaching help.
II think this is probably the
best team we ever had" says
Kley, who is beginning his third
year at the small school. I'VE
haven't had a practice with less
than 35 boys out, while last year
we sometimes had. to play a
game with only 18 in uniform" ;"
But best team or not, the Vo-
cats have yet to win this season.
They opened with a 1877 loss
to Coolidge and then got plas-
tered by Eastern last Friday,
$40. Bell put on a strong Sec
ond half against Coolidge that
all but overlook the Colts, but
the Eastern game was out of
reach early.
Kley, who was a tailback
under Skip Stanley before gradu-
ating from George Washington
University in 1948, is able to
concentrate on his backfield
since two academic teachers
nave volunteered TO help With
the line. The assistants are
Fritz Bonsavage (EnglishD and
Henry Sullivan mechanical
drawing) and Kley is quick to
give a lot of credit to these two
for an improvement in the
teams enthusiasm.
"They keep the boys busy
when I have to work with some
small part of the squad" Kley
said. In the past when I
couldn't get around to all the
boys in one afternoon, some
would have nothing to do and
would get discouraged and quit.
Now every one is getting a lot of
action and they're much more
eager"
But the increase in the stu

and beat it out. Up stepped Mar
tin to deliver his 18th hit, a
solid single to center. Nobody
ever had made IL hits in a six
game series before.
Carl ErSkine, making his third
Series start, had norle of the
cunning of his 14-strikeout per-
formance Friday. The Yankees
clipped him for two runs in the
first inning on a walk to Gene
Woodling, Bauer's single, Berra S
ground-rule double and Junior
Gilliam's tumble of Martins
hard-hit grounder.
The Yankees added a run in
the second inning when -Rizzuto
singled, raced to third on Ford's
single to right and scored after
Woodling flied to Robinson.
Ersklne was yanked for a
pinch-hitter after yielding six of
the Yankees II hits in four in
nings. Bob Milliken held the
champs for two innings and La
bine stopped them for two more
until the payof ninth.

Williams Gains in Bid
For Top Pub|inx Rank

Julian Williams, still bidding
for top ranking among the Dis
trict public links golfers, gained
ground yesterday with one of
the seasons best rounds at East
Potomac, a 4-under-par 68
that won low gross honors in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Golf
Association sweepstakes.
Williams had six brides and
missed par twice on B and D
courses as he topped a field Of
80. Actually, he was one of
the reasons the field was the
smallest of the three WSGA
sweepstakes. He played his
round early in the day and it
was so good it discouraged sew
eral prospective entrants, who
didn't risk the SIS entry fee after
seeing SO on the board.
There were two other sub-par
rounds, Ills by Tom Burch and
Sam Carter. John Mabry won
low net with 1916, over Jim
Grimm, 74-8-66, and Jay
Reynolds, 73-6-67.
Sunday is the entry deadline
for the WSGA's four ball tour
nament scheduled October 1913
at East Potomac. A total of
$4,000 in prizes will be distrib-
uted through the five flights, with
maximum prizes up to the $3.50

The time to learn to groove
your swing and organize your
game is when you are on the
practice tee. Practice with a
purpose in mind, not just for
exercise. Plan in advance the
kind of shot you are going to
practice and how much time you
are going to devote to each,
and stick to your schedule.
Warming up before On actual
round is also advised; it keeps
the muscles timber. Babe Ruth,
for example, used to swing two
golf clubs while waiting his turn
on the tee, just as he used to
swing a couple of bats before
taking his turn at the plate.
Muscular freedom is probably
more important in golf than 4n
any other sport, but very few
players take the trouble to get
loosened up. My practice routine
seldom varies. I start with the
short clubs, usually a nine iron,
and hit the ball easily.
Next take the eight iron and
repeat the process. After which
so up through your seven, six
and five irons. increasing the
length of your swing as the num-
Der on your club decreases. Even
the short bunker shot should
DE given some attention, espe-
cially by those terrified at such
shots.
In practicing With the wood
clubs start by using a spoon. |
Give yourself good lie. 1t
won't do any harm in this sort |
of practice if you tee the ball up.
Use the driver last and only
after you are satisfied with the
results you have been getting
from the other clubs.
Don't hit the ball at random.
I pick out a spot in relation
to the caddy each time and try
to hit each shot exactly where
l want it to go. I also try to

A 6-foot-11a, 176-pounder, you
might mistake Bob at first glance
for Arthur Daley. the New York
Times able sports columnist.
And small wonder, for Art is his
pop. Like Arthur, Bob has
friendly, easy manner and, again
like the old gent, if he can't find
something nice to say about a
fellow. we'll then, there just isn't
anything nice to be said for him.
Bob has discovered that hav-
ing a famous father is nice in
some ways, especially if the old
man has a host of friends
around the league. But it can
be a handicap in some ways. The
customers expect a little more
polish if pop is a writer. It's
like saying to a freshman French
student, "Awright, let's hear you
say something's

Trouble is, Steve Owen hasn't
given young Daley much to talk
about, so far. In fact, the only
news he had today was on the
gloomy side. Kyle Rote, the
Giants flashy halfback, injured
his good" knee against the
Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday
night and won't play here. The
same is true of Leo FideliS Miles,
former fullback on the Negro
All-American team, a Washing
tonian who came to the Giants
via Virginia State. Miles was
being used as a linebacker until
he met up with the Los Angeles
Rams in the opening game, and
his absence was felt against the
Steelers.

kambeau Confronted
BY Tough Decision
In Reducing Squad

The Redskins were shopping
around today, hoping to make
a deal for the surplus player
they must unload before Thurs
day to stay within the National
Football League dimit of 33 men.
The addition of End Fran
Polsfoot yesterday put the club
one over the mark. The Red
skins must ask waivers on the
spare by Thursday afternoon,
but they would prefer to bar
gain for a 1854 draft choice.
1t is hard to decide who to
release, Coach Curly Lambeau
said yesterday. The roster was
set before he had the chance
to get Polsfoot, a 6-foot-3,. 2l0-.
pound end, who was one of
Lambeau's draft selections when
Curly coached the Chicago
Cardinals. The fact that Pols-
foot is an end doesn't mean a
wingman will go But as of to-
day, Lambeau hadn't decided
what to do.
Gilmer Faces Operation.
Meanwhile, Halfback Harry
Gilmer was scheduled to undergo
knee operation today at
Georgetown Hospital. A carti-
lage will be removed and the
Alabaman will be out of action
until late in NOVEMBER T''o =. y
hopes to get him back for the
last four or five games.
Lambeau told Touchdown Club
members yesterday he thinks the
Redskins will be championship
contenders because they should
get better. 1t was bold state
ment, made before the entire
squad and coaching staff, but
Curly has said it before and some
folks are beginning to believe it.
Curly made the point that the
team got by its first two games
without losing, even though he
believes it has reached only IS
per cent efficiency. ~'
The Redskins should have
most of their cripples back for
Sundays game with the Giants.
Jim Ricca. Knox Ramsey and
Laurie Niemi played against the
Eagles, after it was announced
that injuries would keep them
out. With a full week's'rest they
should be in good shape.
Touchdown Club Guests.
Joe Lynch, the Touchdown
Clubs new president. and his
fellow members gave the Red
skins a royal welcome, setting
up steaks all around.l They
treated representatives of the
city's boys clubs well, too, pre-
senting them with $500 checks
for club work. ~

dent body is the big improve
nnent, according to Kley, who
pointed out: cts what we've
been looking for all along. Boys
coming out of junior high school
are beginning to realize that we
have the equipment and other
facilities to help them with their
mechanical ability. We have
about 280 students this time, the
10th grade is large and we have
more to choose from when put

Co-Captains Don Pisciotta, a
170-pound fullback, and Robert
Ground, senior guard, lead a
dozen returning lettermen pro-
viding the experience this year.
There are five other regulars
from 1852: iHalfback Francis
Shannon, Center Fred Hopkins,
Tackle AL Toone and Ends Ray
Windsor and Larry Handy.
Charlie Stringfellow, a senior
playing his first year of football,
is the quarterback.
The remainder of the schedule
doesn't appear to offer any weak
opponents, unless it would be un-
known Thomas Edison of Balti-
more this Saturday. Kley most
likely would consider it a good
year if the team kept it's high
spirits. But we may pull a
