FAGE5IX* SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1937 OGUENSBURG JOUENAB S PORT , IFTINGS ' By FRANK MASON- My Critic Roger Wonders will never cease. Koger Orr, who for over two years lifted Jack Case's Watertown- Times sports column, added it to the Eddie Breitz Associated Press sports column taken, from The Journal, 'and after clipping off credit lines ran his own name over the combination, now is greatly upset because he claims, we read the New York papers too closely! Well, anyway, the caustic criticism comes from an expert with the paste pot who, while posing as a sports expert, hasn't yet dis- covered which is the right field on % baseball diamond. Plans Being Made To Teach Football To Younger Boys And you too, Bull? My, my, it didn't take long for the \Elmoor\ influence to soak in, did it? First shing you know you'll sound like Roger — and that, my lad might prove fatal to your \air voice.\ to fact it sounded as though you were a bit upset last night, they < say. \All the news, when it is news-^clipped without changing a word — from The Journal, \eh Bulj? * * * The Keglers Mixed in with the noise of foot- ball the steady click of the maple pins can be heard daily coming from the Crescent alleys. Many of the Old, faces and many new ones can be seen mingling together. Chasing the elusive pins. One of the. brightest lights in the city bowling league is John Wells Sr., Mr. Wells has lost none of the skill of some thirty years more or less ago, that made him one of the best fast ball twirlers in this sec- tion. He is still able to show the youngsters how to throw a fast ball. His ball skips down the alley -with speed to burn and his totals year in and year out are up among the leaders. * * * Pick-ups The Mai Stevens opus, \How to Watch Football,\\ is. the literary work, we hear, of Harry Shorten, the 190-pound junior blocking back, pass receiver and wit of the N.Y.TJ. team, wh'o turned it out when he had nothing else to do during- the summer. . . . Sid Iiuck- man's passing record is twenty- five out of forty-eight for 322 yards. .... Pitt, with a 3 to 0 defeat by Syracuse in. 1923 and two score- less games with Fordham, has yet to tally a point in New York. Where did it get the reputation as a mighty offensive team? .... New York will get its .first look at first-class college .bands when Pennsylvania's 120 pieces and Pitt's 135 pieces start tootling to- morrow. . . . Note to Fordham: Pitt has yielded 154 yards on oasses, but has intercepted nine for 137 yards, including two touch- downs Dick Cassino, Pitt sophomore back, won the C. D. Wettach award as the outstanding freshman scholar - athlete last year. * * * The Colts # With the departure of Turk Mas- sic for home in the early part of the week the exodus of the Colts became complete. But yes- terday this corner was returned back to the playoffs- when Harry Godden received \a letter from .Wfcfc Martin. Nick writes that lie and Maury Vahttobays are in ex- cellent shape. Van. is working for the Hudson Company and Nick is helping to turn out new Cnryslers. Both boys send their best regards to the fans and Nick promises to win 20 games next year. Little secrets that can not be made fenown during the season many Eimes can be told after -the sea- son is finished. It was known to jery few that every time Niqk Martin toed the mound he was in for a tough afternoon. Nick, has a bad set of arches and around the sixth inning they would begin to give him a great deal of trouble. Nick, is having a special pair of spikes built .this winter /and it is expected that win correct his trouble. * * * Bill Orange . Syracuse and the University of Maryland will stage the fifth act of their intersectipnal football rivalry at Baltimore, Md., in the Municipal stadium next Saturday with signs pointing to another hiard-fought game. The fast - im- proving Orange Warriors,. with their sophomore regulars gaining valuable experience, win be out for revenge for the 20 to 0 defeat suffered here last year at the 'hands of the Maryland Terrapins. The tas'tc is a large one, however, for the Southerners have a vet- eran cast, topped by a high-class triple-threat in Jarring Jim Meade, successor to Maryland's great Bill Buckeyson. * * * Johnny Haipin Johnny Halpin, is another local boy who is making a name for himself in the sport world. Word to this corner brings the infor- mation that Johnny is playing a bang-up game at end for Alfred university. Johnny last fall was a member of\ the undefeated frosh team and .this fall his work on the varsity has been very bright. This cornei- looks for Johnny if he lives up to promises he has shawn to be a member of the 1940 Olympic- team. His work last • spring on the track team stamped bii» as one of the most promising high, jumpers in collegiate ranks. * * » Tony Lazseri Tony Lazzeri, the battle-weavy second baseman who announced his retirement as an active player and , tijen stole the World Series spotlight, stood on the i&reshPM of the second phase of his major league career today Cast loose- from the New York Yankees, the club he served for 12 years at $ec6nd base, Anthony Michael is free to grab the man- agerial job he hones will be of* THUNDERBOLT, Interest in Bowling On Increase; Scores This Year Are Higher Baseball is now laid to rest. After a hectic finish that saw the Colts win the pennant in the Can-Am loop and the Yankee powerhouse blast Bill \Harry Godden\ Terry and hi» Giants right out of New York into th# Bay, Football has taken over. But with football and the crisp fall air, the pin-toppers of the city have also opened in full force. A trip to the Crescent bowling alleys any night will reveal many sights which may or may not glad- den the sights of a sport minded fan. The boys are togged from head to toes in new equipment. The shoes fresh out of the boxes are still shinning, yet to feel the wrath of a 102 game. Many new shirts adorn the man- ly bosoins of our mighty keglers. Butch \The Killer Mitchell\ is a past master at obtaining shirts. Each winter he shifts his kegling ability to different teams and ob- tains a new shirt. He, according to the records is still bowling those terrific games of 110 and 98, clos- ly followed by his kegling pal Charlie Roach. Stepping into the serious, tlie interest so far this winter in the city loop baa been very good. The scores turned in by a league has been the highest in years. Don Cook, with, a 667 for a high triple is heading the heap. Right on down through the par- ade of A, B and C Leagues we find many fine scores. The team totals turned in this fall so far are very close with, very little to choose between the contesting clubs at this early date. Many of A crew prepares Thunderbolt, tie old timers are still on hand and 3500-horsepower juggernaut' of' are able to s£m « ive the younger Capf. George 3E. T.

Captain Eyston's will be the first assault on the mark, since his illustrious country- man established it. Captain Ey- ston has yet to open .up his mon- ster. Note the line which he will follow. DUKETO MEET COLGATE AT HAMILTON Durham, N. C. — A. 'Wallace Wade-coached football team will invade the east for the first time in 14 years when Duke's Blue Dev- ils go to Hamilton, next Saturday to meet the Red Raiders of Col- gate. Last time the nationally-famous Duke mentor took a team to that section of the country was in 1923 •wlien Tv'g first Alabama team (the first college eleven he was head coach of) met Syracuse at Syra- cuse. In that last appearance in tne east in 1923, Syracuse handed his Alabama team a 23-0 defeat, the largest margin that-Wade has been defeated by in his long coaching career although Tennessee tied the margin with a 25-2 victory over Wade's first Duke team in 1931. Duke teams before Wade played in the east several times but their only appearance in New York: State was in 1926 when they met Columbia in New York and were turned back, 24-0, While this invasion will be the first in 14 years, it will not be that long again before Wade goes back. Syracuse will be met in Syr- acuse on November 12, 1938, and the Colgate game will be continued. Pittsburgh is also on the schedule for two more years after this. The game with Colgate will have other superlative angles. It will be the longest trip a Duke team has made under Coach Wade and one of the longest an eleven of the university has ever taken, It is the last game of Duke's October \suicide\ schedule which started on October 9 with Tennes- see, was continued today with Georgia Tech. in Atlanta, The clash will be- the second be- tween the Blue Devils and the Red Raiders. Last year, Duke turned back Colgate in Durham by 6-0 in one of the major early season games of 1936. fered. News of a probable offer \as coach or assistant manager' caused the Yanks to release Tony last night, the club said, but it refused to divulge the team or teams that wished to dicker with Tony. The St* Louis Browns and the Boston Bees are the clubs most prominently mentioned in specu- lation on Tony's 1938 destination. Each club lost a manager this season. Bill McKechnie left the Bees for the Cincinnati Reds and a substantial raise, and the Browns dropped Rogers Hornsby in mid- season., , * * * St. Mary's , Coach Si. Connors and his Purple Eagles will spend a quiet- weekend. The attempt to bring Watertown seconds here Sunday was unsuc- cessful. If the local school is able to make arrangements St. Alyo- jsus of Rome will be the opponent of St. Mary's here next Sunday JUDGE TAKES HAND IN GRID BATTLE Redlands, Calif.—-(AP)—Howard Yeager, Santa. Barbara State Col- lege halfback, paid his speeding fine on the gridiron. Two days ago Police Judge Fred T. Harsh told Yeager at Santa Barbara; \I'm fining you $10—on two touchdowns against Redlands.\ Tbus inspired, Yeager -wasted no time. In the first quarter, he sped 1 yards to a touchdown last night In the second, he pulled down a 21- yard pass behind the goal line. Final score: Santa Barbara 31; Redlands 0. Judge Harsh said he would mark the fine paid today. OSCAR VITT ASSURED OF JOB AT NEWARK Newark, N. J.—CAP) — If Oscar Yitt, of Oakland, Calif., doesn't get a managerial berth with a major league baseball club, he'll be back at tlie helm of the cha^nplonsnip Newark Bears nest season. Ray Kennedy, secretary of the New York Yankees' No. 1 farm team, said today Vitt and the Bears had agreed on terms but no con- tract will be signed \until every opportunity for \Vitt to advance himself has been exhausted.\ This was Vitt's second year as Newark manager. The Bears won the International League pennant by a record of a 25 1-2-game mar- gin, swept through the play-offs without losing a game, and wen the World Series with Gclumbus, of the American Association, by taking four straight games after dropping the first three.

MCCARTY TO BOSIS New York—The \fa\ in Manager Joe McCarthy's name is silent to Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees. Joe Us McCarty to the colonel. The old gridiron heroes hope to help the young boy: 1. Sponsoring the adoption of a \pre-varsity'' size ball for juvenile use and 2. Eliminating bodily contest in games for laSs between the ages of seven and 12. These measures, which are to he pushed by a committee headed by Arthur \E. French, Harvard, '28, are designed to automatically teach the small boy better ball handling and body control, and to develop Ills inter«st in football during his formative years, French Father of Idea The idea is French's and it -was adopted by the Touchdown Club executive committee after a survey of experiments he conducted with youngsters last summer at Manhat- tan Beach. The French committee's plans are still nebulous, but it will attempt to spread its youth-aid doctrine hy organizing Touchdown Clubs in other large cities and by persuading the Football Rules Com- mittee to adopt special regulations for juvenile competition. French broached his plan yester- day at the Touchdown Club lunch- eon In the Williams Club and ex- hibited the undersized ball which he declared boys could catch, throw and kick as skilfully as their elders do the regulation intercol- legiate prolate spheriod. The so-called \pre-varsity\ ball is about half the size of the large one and is made of the same grade of material, has the same •workmanship and is in exact pro- portion with respect to size, weight and air pressure. Committee to Map Rules The committee sooa will formu- late a set of rules for youngsters. In keeping with the small ball and the youth of the participants, it is proposed to reduce the dimensions of the playing fjeia and goals Tackling will be taboo under the code and physical contact except for standing blocks will be elimi nated, \We are making the hall fit the hoy,\ French said, \and by elimi- nating bodily contact until the Wds have matured physically sufficient- ly to absorb the bruising impacts of the game and are playing it und- er proper supervision, we are over. coming parental objections to the sport.\ Herb MeCracken, former Pitt player and Lafayette coach, ana Le Roy Mills, the portly Priucetonian kicking wizard, backed up French's plan with enthusiajn and facts. Walter Okeson, head man of the Eastern Intercollegiate Foot ball Association and chairman of the Football Rules Committee, was all for the {flea, PRfflO CARNERA FILES BANKRUPTCY London—(AP)—Primo Camera former world's heavyweight boxing champion trying a comeback in England, filed a petition ot bank- ruptcy today when confronted with a bill for 124 pounds sterling (about $620) for unpaid income taxes.

He has had some good teams. He won the title in 1934. Last year his team finished third in the Eastern division, trail- ing: the Boston Redskins and the Pirates. \We have a stronger line than we had, last season,\ Owen gairl yesterday. \Last year- my ends, weren't jiny good. Now I have » couple who are all right. This Jim Poole from. Mississippi Is going to be a great end. He weighs 215 and he's fast, rough and tough, and he can really catch those passes. And Will Walls from Tex- as Christian is big and -strong and fast. \We're improving in every game. Opponents have made qnly seven first dowilS against us In our last twa games—and two of these -were gained on penalties. We're coining along. \We've been getting exception- ally good blocking. Ed Widseth, a tackle from Minnesota, has a lot to do With this. Take a look at this lioy and you Snow Why Bierman always has good football teams. \Ward Cuff, Hank Soar and Mike Kobrosky have strengthened the backfleld. Cuff is & rugged, block- ing fool. He was the workhorse in that Marquette backfield. The other guys ,got the credit, but he did the work. Soar is a tricky run- ner, hard to bring down. And Ko- Brosky . . . well you saw what he was capable of doing in the All- Star game.\. - AHMELY WARNING GIVEN HUNTERS Albany, N. ¥.—(AP)—With tie hunting season for Deer and Black Bear in full blast, Conservation Commissioner Xdthgow Osborne to- tJay warned hikers in Northern New York forests to wear red .clothing for their own protection. \Some hunters,\ he said, \will shoot at the slightest rustling of underbrush.
