Army Opens
Drills With
13Lettermen

WEST POINT, N. Y, Aug. %
(AP).-Only three men who
started the 1857 Navy game
were among the so candidates
who opened football practice

Military Academy.
They were Pete Hawkins of
Royal Oak, Mich. 197-pound
right halfback and team cap
tain; Bob Anderson of Cocoa,
Fla, left halfback, and Bob
Novogratz, 215-pound guard
from Northampton, Pa.
There were IS lettermen in
the group starting t&o-a-day
practice sessions until classes

The key problem facing the
staff is development of a quar-
terback. Candidates includes
Joe Caldwell. a 155-pounder

PastranoStops
D. {. Fighter

COLUMBUS, GA, Aug. 26
(AP)-Willie Pastrano of New
Orleans, Underwriting heavy
weight, scored a fourth round
Knockout over Eldredge (Tom-
my Thompson of Washington
D. c., last night at the city
auditorium.
A crowd of 1854 saw the
scheduled 10-round bout.
Pastrano had little trouble
with his larger. but much slow
er opponent. Pastrano weighed
in at 1856 against 2O1 for
Thompson, an ex-Marine.
Thompson's best blows were
to the midsection, but he had
to take three or four to land
one. The end came when Pas
trano landed a straight right
to the jaw.
After Pastrano had given
Thompson a boxing lesson in
the first, the Washington
fighter found the range in the
second round with several hard
punches to the body. But Pas
trano didn't slow down and
cuffed Thompson to the head
with rights and left at the bell.
In the third, Pastrano began
to step up the pace and he had
Thompson missing with long
rights to the body while land
ing hard left jabs and right
to the head.
The fourth started out with
Thompson landing several
good blows to the kidneys, but
Pastrano, with a furry of rights
and lefS, sent Thompson down
for the count with 2:31 in the
round.

their FIRST fall practice. They
were to have begun yesterday.
but heavy rain forced q post
ponement.
Seven vacancies in the start
ing lineup must be filled but
the Cotton Bowl champions
seem loaded with potential and
another good year is in pros
pect. Last season the Middies
won eight games. lost one and
tied another before beating
Rice, DOT, in the bowl game.
The only backfield starter
returning is Fullback Ray Well
born. a 190-pounder from
Texas. OF course, this doesn't
include Dick Dagampat, this
years captain, who was hurt
in the Georgia game and missed
the second half of last season.
He, too, was a fullback. but in
spring drills was shifted to
halfback.
Heir apparent for Tom For
restal's quarterback job is Joe
Tranchini, q junior from Penn
sylvania, who is no green hand
and, in fact, engineered the
first touchdown against Rice in
the Cotton Bowl.
In the line. Navy has an ex-
cellent start with Bob Ref
snyder, already an All-America
and potentially the best tackle
in the academy's history. Also
returning are Center Milan
Moncilovich and End John
Kanuch.
Due to losses from last years
second and third teams, the
Middies as yet don't have the
line depth they figure to have
in the backfield. But between
now and September q, when
they play their opening game
against William g. Mary, Erde-
latz expects to find some talent
from among those falling out
today. The final squad will
number SO.

CHARLES TOWN
NOTES
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va.
Aug. 26.-Night racing, already
a reality in West Virginia, ap-
parently is right around the
corner in Maryland.
Timonium. which opens its
12-day meeting Saturday with
a spanking new steel grand
stand seating 1000. is equipped
for a quick Switch-over to rae
ing under the lights.
John He'll, general manager
of the Timonium plant which
hopes to top Marlboro this year
as the leading Maryland half
miller, says the only thing need
ed for night racing at Timon-
ium is the construction of light
poles.
In rebuilding the Timonium
grandstand, at a cost of 81, $780,
900. the nonprofit organiza-
ton which runs the Baltimore
County track had power lines
installed, necessary for the
lighting of the racing strip.
John H. link, Timonium pres
ident. has made it known that
his directors would ask the
Maryland Racing Commission
for permission to race at night,
if this years meeting is not. as
successful as anticipated.
D. Eldred Rinehart, chair
man of the Maryland commits
sion. has indicated he would
be in favor of twilight racing
at the Ocean Downs trotting
track, which experienced an
other poor meeting at its an
nual session which ended last
Saturday. This was interpreted
by most observers as opening
the door for night thorough
bred racing.
The Ocean Downs manage
ment is expected to try to le-
galize thoroughbred racing at
the next session of the Legis-
lature and bring flat racing
to the seaside area which has
not supported the harness
sport.
The Charles Town stewards
absolved Jockey Ray Mikkonen
of any blame in Saturdays first
race in which his mount, Hern-
don, was disqualified after
Jockey Tom McGovern fell of
in the stretch.
The ruling came as a surprise
to some observers here, who
thought Mikkonen might have
caused the trouble. The stew
ards said films of the race
clearly showed that Mikkonen
lost his stirrups in the race and
had no control of his mount
through the stretch.
Meanwhile. McGovern is be-
ing treated for a broken jaw at
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Bal
timore and probably will re-
quire plastic surgery on his
face as a result of his spill,

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Our Gold Coins-15

In 1897 a large heraldic
eagle" design was adopted
for the reverse side Of the IS
gold piece instead of the
small naturalistic eagle" "
The bust of Liberty on the
diverse Of the coin remained
unchanged.
This American heraldic
eagle is shown with a shield
on its breast. the arrows of
war in its left talon, and the
olive branch of peace in its
right. Above the eagles
head appear clouds and 16.
or subsequently only Is. stars
symbolizing the original 10
Colonies. On a scroll is the
motto "E PLURIB u S
UNUM" meaning "out Of
many States. one ma
tionD." The usual surround
ing legend reads: UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA"
This type was coined 1897
through 1907. except 1901,
when no half eagles we're is
sued though an diverse die
with the 1901 date was pre-
pared at the Mint. The date
was recut and the die used
for striking 1902 IS gold
pieces.
The heraldic eagle design
appears also dated 1875 but
such pieces must be consid-
cred as later strikings made,
probably, about 1877. This
fact can be easily corrobo-
rated considering that Is
stars appear above the
eagles head. This places the
issue after June, 1895. when
a sixteenth star symbolizing
Tennessee was added.
