Huskies’ Can Smooth Bowl Path : Linkswomen Plan Full ’37 Slate I
VITAL THEY TAKE
TROJANS’MEASURE
Game Later With Cougars
Then Might Not Make
Any Difference.
BY GRANTLAND RJCE.
O FAR as the Western entry of
the Rose Bowl Is concerned,
Washington's game with South
ern California at Seattle plays
a vital role. Even if the Huskies get
by this Trojan charge, they still have
another hurdle left in Washington
State, with Goddard and others al
ways threatening.
But if Washington can beat South
ern California, Jimmy Phelan's team
probably will be the pick anyway,
unless they collapse In the final
stand. AU the others have drawn a
defeat and a tie except Washington.
The Huskies, held to a Stanford
Craw, have escaped defeat.
It Isn’t likely that both U. S. C.
and Washington State can take the
Huskies on successive Saturdays un
less their long march since the Min
nesota game back in September has
left the poison of staleness in then
systems.
Fordham Fans Keyed.
pORDHAM followers are watching
^ the result of this game with keen
Interest. In the meanwhile. Mar
quette still is hanging on to a Rose
Bowl vision, and the same will be
true of the winner at Lincoln, where
Pittsburgh and Nebraska meet.
Marquette will have trouble against
Mississippi unless the Bulvid-Guepe
passing combination upsets the South
ern defense.
Two other passible Rose Bowl con
lenders are Alabama and L. S. U.
If both keep winning, as they should
from now on. you will hear more
than a few resonant voices lifted in
their behalf.
Fordham remains in front for two
reasons—first, because of its hard
Intersectional schedule and, second,
because the West Coast, after a long
lapse, would like to have another
look at an Eastern team.
Others in Running.
'THERE are others still left in the
>'1' argument, but it will take an
Unusual turn to change the present
picture from Fordham and Wash
ington, who are now in the lead.
The foot ball picture has changed
so often and so abruptly this Fall
that anything might happen in the
next two weeks.
As they swing down the stretch
, tome teams come to greater strength
and development, as others, tired and
battered, begin to skid and dip and
lose their earlier keenness.
Injuries—mental attitudes—breaks
of the game can bring about more
havoc than you might think possible.
WILSON HIGH AWAY
TO WINNING START
Beats Western, 13-12, in First
Foot Ball Engagement With
Public High Eleven.
r^ENTRAL HIGH’S foot ball team
was prone to discount the 13-12
defeat of Western by Woodrow Wilson
yesterday as it continued preparations
for meeting the former in the last
lnterhigh series game for each next
Tuesday.
With each showing a record of two
Victories and one defeat, second place
will be at stake in the race for the
* high school championship, apparently
Clinched by Tech.
Opposed to their first public high
foe, Wileon scored on the third play
•f the game, an end-around maneuver
•ending Stevens over from the 13-yard
line. Western tied the score in the
•econd quarter when Smith took Lyn
ham's pass for a 45-yard gain and
touchdown. Conversions of both
teams were blocked.
Knight provided Wilson with the
all-important point after his team's
second touchdown in the second pe
riod, booting a placement after Tate
threw a 35-yard scoring pass to
Stevens. Western matched its foe's
touchdown when Brewer took a 30-yard
pass and raced to Wilson's 2, where
Brewer went through right guard for
the score. A plunge for the point,
which would have tied the score, was
checked by Wilson

Three Rights by Escobai
End Fight in Opening
Round—Klick Bows.
Bj the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 14.
Sixto Escobar, the little Puert
Rican who has to work har
to do more fighting in the rin
than his excitable supporters try b
do in the gallery, appears to be earn
ing recognition as a champion wh
deserves the title.
Since he won the bantamweigh
championship from Lou Salica a yea
ago, Escobar has dropped two de
cislons in non-title bouts, but ever;
time his crown has been at stake hi
has won In a way that left no roon
for doubt.
There certainly was no doubt las
night when Sixto took less than i
round to belt out Carlos (Indian
Quintana of Panama, who had beatei
him decisively in an overweight en
counter last Summer.
Three Blows Beat Quintana.
QUINTANA, a pretty good hittei
” never got a chance to land i
blow. The champion blocked his fei
efforts, fired three rapid rights to th
head and the Indian went down am
out.
Escobar’s first wallop landed high
but the second partly dazed Quintam
and the third, flush to the jaw, pu
him down for the full count after onl;
a minute and 39 seconds.
A near-riot among the gallery fans
many of whom didn’t see the blow;
Escobar landed, but felt the urge u
celebrate regardless, lasted longer thai
the main bout before the police quiet
; ed things with their clubs.
Klick Well Beaten.

Puts Up $100,000 Good
Faith Money.
B? the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 14.—De
spite the howls of various out
raged boxing authorities, it
appeared likely today that the
proposed no-decision fight between
Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Brad
dock and Detroit's dusky Joe Louis
would take place in Atlantic City
February 22 as planned. There was
even the possibility that the contracts
would be signed today, but that ap
peared less probable.
Herman (Muggsy) Taylor of Phlla
i deiphia, who first thought up the Idea,
said yesterday he had secured the
f100,000 demanded as “evidence of
good faith" by Joe Gould. Braddock’s
manager, and that he hoped to clear
away the remaining obstacles today in
1 a conference between Mike Jacobs,
who represents Louis, and Col. John
: Reed Kilpatrick, president of Madison
Square Garden. Both Jacobs and
KUpatrick said, however, that they
knew nothing of such a meeting.
Gets Money From D. C. Man.
'T'AYLOR obtained the money in
Philadelphia from James La Fon
taine. retired Washington sportsman,
who confirmed the fact. Then he
, jumped to Atlantic City to inspect the
big Convention Hall, where he plans
to stage the bout before some 40,000
customers.
' The promoter also revealed that
Gould had agreed to a cut in the
original $400,000 guarantee offered
1 Braddock to $300,000 and a 50*50 cut
in any gate receipts above $500,000.
I The next move he plans is to persuade
I Kilpatrick to accept an Interest in
| promoting the bout and thus stave off
any legal repercussions. The Garden
has a contract for Braddock to meet
, Max Schmeling next June in his first
title defense.
Principal objectors, in addition to
Kilpatrick, who fears the conse
quence of a possible knockout victory
for Louis, which would make a
Schmeling-Braddock affair just about
useless, were Edward C. Poster of
Providence. R. 1., executive secretary
? of the National Boxing Association,
1 and Brig. Gen. John J. Phelan, chalr
* man of the New York State Athletic
* Commission.
Poster telegraphed Joseph Maloney.
* N. B. A. president and secretary of the
New Jersey State Athletic Commis
“ sion, protesting against the sanction
ing of the bout “unless same is billed
' as purely an exhibition.”
r ________
Can Suspend Champion.
DHELAN officially decided to wait
S until next week, when Gould is
i due to post $5,000 and sign an
agreement that Braddock will fight
i Sehmeling as scheduled next June.
He said, however, that the commis
sion reserves the right to approve
Braddock’s opponents for the exhibi
tions it has agreed to allow him and
, could suspend him and declare the
l title vacant if he should go ahead
r in defiance of commission orders.
> That would mean a suspension for
l Louis as well, win or lose.
Another proposed title bout ran
. Into difficulties at yesterday’s com
<■ mission meeting when the boxing
i powers insisted that Sam Pian, man
r ager of Barney Ross, sign an agree
ment for Ross to risk his welterweight
, title against Ceferino Garcia within
> 60 days after the Ross-Izzy Jannazzo
• title bout, scheduled for Madison
t Square Garden November 27.
Pian refused to sign yesterday on
the grounds that no terms were men
tioned in the agreement and was
given a week to make, his decision.
| If he persists in his refusal the com
mission may cancel the bout andj
1 order a rematch between Jannazzo
and Garcia, who fought a 15-round
■ drew recently.

Enthusiasm Runs High as Tournament Play
For D. C. Chess Championship Gets Under Way
Enthusiasm nn high u 13
picked chess quintets engaged
in the Initial round of tourna
ment play for the District
championship at the T. J. Sloes Cafe
teria, 818 Fourteenth atreet northwest.
Thursday evening, under the direct
auspices of the Metropolitan Chess
Association.
At the time of taking of the above
close-up picture of teams, captained
by Robert Knox and Conrad Willnlch,
some 30 boards were in play, with sev
eral hundred fans eagerly following
the OTer-the-board matches, move by
move, as their favorites laid down a
flank attack or barrage of knights and
bishops.
Coincident with the tournament play
was an informal lecture on chessana—
current books, magazines, columns and
art prints—with a 10-table exhibit of
rare chess items by Prof. Paul J.
Miller, jr., chess editor of The Star.
Under the direction of Tournament
Director Abe Seidenberg of the M. C.
A., round two of the team tourney will
be played next Thursday night at •
o'clock at the Jewish Community Cen
ter. at which time Prof. Miller will
exhibit further chessana and give an
instructional chess lecture of especial
interest to beginners and would-be be
ginners at chess. The educational
chess lectures are being given in co
operation with the chess column of
The Sunday Star.
YOU wouldn't think a golf
champion and a two-time one
at that would blow a 8-inch
putt, would you?
George Diffenbaugh of Indian
Spring laughed about it today, but
when the little giant from Silver
Spring missed a putt that he swears
was not over 9 inches long, on the
thirty-fifth hole of that District open
championship at Bannockburn yester
day it looked as if they were all ready
to pin the champion's halo on A1
Houghton. That 9-inch putt loomed
as big as the Capitol Building, for it
seemed as if with the missing of it
George Diffenbaugh’s chances to be
come a repeat champion in the tour
ney went as wobbly as Leon Errol's
trick knee.
DUT Houghton turned Santa Claus
himself over the last four holes,
missing three putts from less than
5 feet and Diffenbaugh again won the
crown and the meager little 40 bucks
that went to the winner. George
scored 145, against 147 for Houghton.
But at the time it looked as if George
had putted himself right out of the
title. "I can't explain how I missed
the dum thing," George laughed today.
"Guess I must have turned the putter
blade in a little and hit the ball a
little strong. Anyhow It hopped right
over the lip of the cup and grinned
at me from the other side. I thought
I was a goner then, for A1 was hot
on my heels, but he turned Santa
Claus.”
T>OMPING over the first 18 holes
with his usual burst of speed, Just
as he did in winning the Maryland
open tourney more than a month ago,
Houghton scored an opening 70 over
that hilly and rugged Bannockburn
course.' Diffenbaugh hung right on
his heels with a 72. But in the after
noon, where George was out in 37, A1
took 40 whacks to the turn, and George
led by a single shot. Houghton birdied
the tenth, missed a wee one on the
twelfth for another bird and stood on
the thirteenth tee needing level par
to win by a shot. But from that point
on the immaculate chip shots and
putts that had put him out in front
failed him. Three times over the last
fire holes Houghton chipped short and
three times he missed the putts com
ing back. Those missed putts cost
him (perhaps) the championship, just
as George thought the miss of the
little one on the thirty-fifth had cost
him the title. That’s the way golf
goes. You miss a few shots and think
they are bad, but the other fellow
misses ’em. too. The perfect golf
round yet has to be played.
AND don't let anyone waltz up in
a hack and tell you that Tony
Sylvester, the neckless man from
Bannockburn, can't play water shots.
Tony acted like a submarine baby as
he waded into the water at the
eleventh hole and walloped the pill
out for a par 3. He almost holed
the deuce.
The tourney wound up the com
petitive season for the local pros.
By next week some of ’em will be on
the way south and those who dont
go will be playing only rounds for
fun—and a dollar Nassau. Sum
maries of the tourney: George Dif
fenbaugh, Indian Spring. 72—73—145;
A1 Houghton, Bannockburn. 70—77—
147; Cliff Spencer, Beaver Dam,
77—71—148: Levi Yoder, amateur,
Kenwood. 76—72—148; Mel Shorey,
East Potomac Park, 75—74—149:
A1 Treder, Manor, 76—74—150; Tony
Sylvester, Bannockburn, 81—76—157;
Walter Cunningham. Burning Tree,
81—76—157; Frank White, amateur,
Bannockburn, 79—78—1$7; T. Gi
braski. East Potomac Park, 79—77—
156; George Keene, amateur. Ban
nockburn, 164; Maury Fitzgerald.
Kenwood, amateur, 80—85—165. No
card—Frank Cunningham, Burning
Tree. 78: Kaiser Wilhelm, unattached.
81; Dan Burton, Army-Navy, 82; Bob
Barnett, Chevy Chase. 74; Gardiner
Meese, Bannockburn, 86; Bob Brown,
Bannockburn, 92; H. Gillis, Bannock
burn, 93.
CO BETWEEN them Houghton and
J Diffenbaugh have split up the
local pro titles this year, but Houghton
won the most money. He got $150
for winning the Maryland Open.
George, with a fine display of golf,
won only $44. But even that will buy
quite a turkey. And even the <25
Houghton won will provide Thanks
giving dinner. The boys should hold
the District open championship
earlier next year and work for a
bigger purse. As it stands now It’s
just like another sweepstakes affair.
It should have some prestige and
carry some money for the winner.

late October. And they plan the same
heavy schedule next year.
Hew Implement Here.
SOMETHING new in wooden clubs
has appeared at Columbia, but the
weapon hasn't made any great im
pression on those who have tried It.
It’s a brassie with a small, round face,
streamlined to cut down wind re
sistance and with a very small brass
plate on the sole.
Miller Stevinson tried it out the
other day and hit some good shots
with it. The club should be good for
bad lies in the fairway. It's the in
vention of a Richmond golfer.
W.’s 49 in the third period and went
on to score, a pass from Bowles to
Battles netting the last 33 yards.
Bowles missed the extra point.
The Colonials drove to the Owl 10
vard line in the final quarter and
Nowasky failed on a try for field goal.
A standout was Chuck Hockenberry,
who relieved Richardson. He got three i
punts of 60 yards and one of 70. .
