q recent chat with Davidson, we
surprised him with q bit Of in
formation on the giant plant.
A fact not commonly known
is that the Baltimore Recreation
was partly the brainchild Of Nor
ris Cafritz, the Washin ton
builder. At the time of the
Recreation's birth, in the 1920S,
Cafritz operated several big bowl
ing establishments here. But,
having had a hand in the plan
ming of 1t. he never took over the
Recreation.
Cafritz for some years had a
gold mine" in the late Recrea-
ton Bowling Center on G street
NV. near Ninth, which he
leased in a manner worth re-
lating.
To go back q bit. Cafritz as
a young man tried his business
skill in a variety of ventures.
AS teen-ager, he borrowed $500
from his father to start a groc-
cry, which clicked, but restricted
his horizon. He was quick to
sense opportunities and equally
quick to act.
At the time we have in mind
he was co-proprietor Of small
bowling plant on Eighth street
Sc, near G.
One evening Cafritz received
a phone call from the late
Peyton Fletcher, Washington
representative of the Brunswick
Bake Collender Company.
Fletcher said, in effect: 1.-THE
Recreation is going up for sale.
We haven't been paid for the
alleys. I know it would be a big
deal for you to swing"
"I'll take it," Cafritz snapped.
AS we said, the Recreation be-
came a big money-maker, and
Cafritz' other bowling enter
prises prospered.
At the Recreation one day, I
found him apparently day
dreaming.
Whats on your mind?" we
asked, another bowling plant?"
Cafritz grinned. mo" he said,
II want to get into something
where. the sky's the limit"
He did.
It was a year or so later, If
memory serves, when Cafritz
was the writer's guest at the
annual party of the old Deadline
Club. It broke up at dawn.
To rinse our lungs, we went
to East Potomac Park for a spot
of golf. Having the course vir-

guys. you can't do that. It's
against the rules"
Cafritz chuckled.
Lets play on my course" he
said, II just bought one"
He was serious.
A half hour later we were
standing on the porch Of the
Argyle Golf Club in Brightwood.
"Out there" Cafritz said, with
a sweep Of his hand. I'm going

It turned out to be an under

Wagner Wins Berth
In CIV BackfieId for
Penn Game Saturday
BY George Huber

Jim Wagner, q Junior from
Lancaster, Pa. has been pro-
NOTED to starting right halfback
ct George Washington for Satur-
days game against Pennsyl-
vania.
The 175-pound Wagner was
slowed hy injuries the last two
seasons. but his work this year
in replacement roles both at
right and left halfback has
earned him q starting chance.
He is not q really fast boy. but
he is q solid blocker and tackler.
both Of which talents CIV needs
badly.
In his move upward. Wagner
replaces Bill Weaver, another
Junior from Pennsylvania, who
last year had more game time
than any other back at CIV and
who tied with Fullback Joe Bo-
land as the leading scorer. So
far this season Weaver has
scored one of GW's five touch
downs, with Lenny Ciemniecki,
who operates at left half, get
ting the other four.
Help Due for Danz.
Boland has a broken arm and
Is not playing. but the fullback
situation at CIV will be eased
somewhat this week with the
return to action Of both Nat
Nadedo ana Claude Austin.
Minor injuries kept them out of
action against West Virginia
last week, leaving Dutch Danz to
carry the whole load, which he
did for 60 minutes of fine foot
ball.
Danz and Wagner, incidental
ly, were high school teammates
at Lancaster's Catholic High
School.
The record hot weather this
week has hurt GW's practices
and slowed its efforts to get
ready for Coach Steve Sebo's
tricky offense at Penn. The
players come out every day full
of enthusiasm, but the heat and
dust at GW's dry and rock-hard
practice field soon takes the zip
out Of them.
The Colonials' situation is
something comparable to Mary
lands when the Terps went to
play against the single-wing of
UCLA three weeks ago. CIV has
played four Information teams
so far. but Saturday meets a
somewhat different situation
against a team that operates
some from the T. but from an
unbalanced line. and also from
both the single wing and double
wing.
Hynoski Big Threat.
The star back at Penn, and
one the Colonials may have some
trouble in stopping, is Walt Hy-
noski. The Quakers call him a
.five-threat man. In addition to
running, passing and punting,
he also handles the kickoffs and
points after touchdown. Penn
historians say that not since the
days OF j. Howard Berry in 1916
and 1917 have the Quakers called
on one man to carry on that Ave-
fold responsibility.
Anyway, in 81 carries, Hynoski
has netted 1877 yards against
Duke, William and Mary and
Princeton. He has completed
four Of 10 passes for So yards,
caught four passes for so yards,
has Intercepted one pass and has
averaged 40.1 yards with IA.
