Some wise football authorities have
made the statement that a team is no

the all-Eastern team should be ex
ceptionally strong because there are a
number of line tackles roaming the
Eastern gridirons this season. Tackles
must be durable and be able to stand
up under great offensive pressure be
cause it is necessary' for them to bear
the brunt of their opponents’ running

powerful charge that will open holes

The leading tackle in Eastern foot
ball is Matisi of Pittsburgh. Playing

Giants and Bears Good Bets
To Scrap It Out for Crown
By EARL H1LLIGAN.
Associated Press bports Writer.
CHICAGO. Nov. 22—A lot of
things can happen before the
National Pro Football League
sqpson ends, but it's a good
bet that the New York Giants and
Chicago Bears will battle it out for
the 1937 championship.
The Giants and Bears last met for
the title in 1934. On that occasion
the Giants won out by donning bas
ket ball shoes in the second half and
scampering to victory on a slippery
field. Yesterday the Giants went out
of their way to help Chicago get a
chance for revenge by practically
eliminating Green Bay from title
consideration.
Tough Day Ahead for Redskins.
^EW YORK, with a 10-to-0 victory
over the Packers, handed Green
Bay its third defeat. Chicago's Bears
now lead the West section with six
wins, one tie and one defeat, and are
heavy favorites to clinch the right
must be smart on defense and be able
to protect his own territory.
For some unknown reason there
seems to be a shortage of superior
guards this year in Eastern football.
For that reason we have selected
Franco of Fordham as one of our
guards. Although Franco has played
a splendid game at tackle for FOrdham
for the last two years, he also has
been used in the guard position. He
possesses all the qualifications of a
guard, and in my opinion would be a
star in this position. His running mate
is McNamara, the Pennsylvania cap
tain, who is an iron man and who
has been a very satisfactory guard
aver a period of three years.
Other outstanding guards are Carr
af Holy Cross and Hooper of Cornell.
Hooper, in addition to carrying out the
usual duties of the guard position, has
taken care of Cornell’s punting as
signment in splendid fashion. Worthy
af mention also are Nee of Harvard
and Drulis of Temple. Bateman of
Columbia, who has played tackle,
also has the qualifications of making
a splendid guard.
Wojciechowicz Great Center.
CENTER, Wojciechowicz of
Fordham again is leader in the
East. He was chosen last year on the
N. A. N. A. all-Eastem team and he
has demonstrated this year that he is
even a better center than he was last
season. This boy is a splendid passer,
a fine blocker on the line and is one
of the Nation’s best defensive men
backing up the line.
Other outstanding centers are Hart
line of the Army, because of his great
defensive ability; Mautner of Holy
Cross, who has beelt handicapped by
injuries; Eck of Colgate, the Maroons’
defensive captain and a real bulwark
on defense; Gallagher of Yale, Wilson
of Harvard and Miller of New York
University, who has played center and
in the backfleld, and might be con
sidered the all-Eastem team's utility
player.
Every season produces a great num
ber of outstanding backs. There is the
usual crop of splendid runners, fine
forward passers, excellent pass receiv
ers and strong defensive men among
the backs of the East this season. The
ideal backfleld must contain a fine
kicker, an outstanding forward passer;
a real line bucker, good blockers, elu
sive runners and fine defensive players.
The all-Eastern backfleld has all of
these qualifications.
Sterling Backfleld Chosen,
quarterback, we have selected
Frank of Yale. This boy is an
exceptional field general and one of the
country's best passers, a fine blocker
and a real climax runner. Goldberg
of Pittsburgh possibly is the finest run
ning halfback in the East. He is strong
in every department of the game.
Luckman of Columbia is one of the
best all-around backs I have seen in
recent years. He is a splendid passer,
kicks well, is a fine ball carrier and
is an excellent safety man.
Osmans kl of Holy Cross, who was
selected on the all-Eastem team last
year, would furnish the necessary line
bucking ability. - Osmans kl has a
sprinters speed, weighs 195 pounds
and is one of the hardest runners I
have seen in recent years.
This backfleld would take care of it
self in any company.

to meet the winner of the Eastern
title for the championship. New York I
has won six games, lost two and tied
one, and the runner-up, Washington,
probably will have hard going against
the Packers next Sunday.
Tillie Manton place-kicked a field
goal for the Giants in the second
period and the three points ultimately
proved enough to send the Packers
home in defeat. A pass, Ed Danowski
to Buster Poole, was good for a
touchdown in the third period.
Washington clung to its title hopes
by defeating the hapless Cleveland
Rams, 16 to 7.
Lions Whip Cardinals.
J^ETROIT registered a 16-to-7 win
j over the Chicago Cardinals, with
Ed Klewicki scoring a touchdown
after recovering a Cardinal fumble
and Bill Shepherd tallying on a pass
interception. The victory left Detroit
tied with Qreen Bay for second place
in the Western section.
With Ace Parker providing the
pufich, Brooklyn’s Dodgers whipped
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 23 to 0. scoring
all points in the last half. Brooklyn
wTas held to nine first downs as com
pared to 13 for the Pirates, but the
Dodgers presented a brilliant defense
when the Pittsburgh eleven had
chances to score.

PRESIDENTS RETAIN
DIXIE LOOP CROWN
Win Title Second Straight Year,
Deipite Baltimore Draw
in Finale.
yjLTITH an unblemished record of
four triumphs and two ties in
six games, the Washington Presidents
today held claim to their second suc
cessive Dixie League football cham
pionship, snatching the title yester
day by tying the Baltimore Blues, 3—3,
at Baltimore. x
The local professional eleven wound*
up in the top spot only a half game
ahead of the Blues, who had lost
earlier In the season to the Presidents.
Willis Benner, former Maryland
star, booted a field goal for Washing
ton in the second period from the
27-yard line. A few moments later,
however, the Blues retaliated when
Ted Mujwit recovered Bill Adamaitls’
fumble of Cliff Lathrop's high punt
on the Presidents' 25-yard line.
Lathrop, who waged a kicking duel
with Tbm Oliver throughout the game,
plunked his toe Into the leather for a
game-tying field goal and the clubs
battled on even terms In the last half.

Shift of Battles
To Rams Looms
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
LEVELAND, Nov. 22.—That
CUff Battles, ace back
of the Washington Red
skins and for several sea
sons the greatest ground-gainer in
the National Football League,
would become a member of the
Cleveland Rams next season has
been widely rumored here during
the past week.
Observers point out that Battles
is a native Ohioan, who lives in
the State during the off season,
and that Ram officials are making
every effort to land the Washing
ton star. Because the Rams are
the newest team in the league,
other loop members are expected
to do all they can to strengthen
them. Washington is blessed with
a number of hard-running backs
and is thought to be willing to do
Its share in the move to aid the
Rams.

1E0SKINS BUOYED
(ictory Over Rams Boosts
Morale for Games With
Packers and Giants.
By BILL DISMER, Jr..
SUB Correapondent or The BUr.
EN ROUTE FROM CLEVELAND.
Nov. 22.—“Well, I guess we've
got to win It the hard way.”
Expressed by one of the
Vashlngton Redskin veterans, it was
he sentiment of the entire squad
oday, homeward-bound after an ab
once of two weeks and ready for
heir biggest game of the year next
Sunday at Griffith Stadium.
The “it” referred to was the East
rn championship of the National
"ootball League and the "hard way”
neant that to win It, it would be
lecessary to beat the over-strong
Jreenbay Packers next Sunday and
he New York Giants a week later.
Although the Skins beat the Rams
it Claveland, as expected, 16-7, yes
erday, they had not expected the
Jiants to beat the Packers. Indeed,
nost of the Skins who sloshed off
he snow-covered gridiron of the
Cleveland team firmly believed they
vere then in first place—that their
detory assured them of the leader
hip in light of expected events in
Mew York.
Now that the Giants have demon
strated their ability to “take it” and
some through with colors flying, the
skins are determined that they, too,
ihall beat the Packers and keep within
lalf a game of their front-running
lvals. If their ambitions are ful-*
Hied and the likelihood of the Giants
seating the Brooklyn Dodgers next
Sunday is carried out, the Eastern
shampionship would rest squarely on
.he last scheduled game of the reason,
letween the Redskins and Giants at
Mew York December 5.
Looked Good Winning.
gUT the Skins did it the hard way
yesterday in Cleveland running
ip enough yardage for five touch
iowns and scoring only two, yet they
ire as satisfied over that victory over
:he Rams as if it had been by a 30-7
icore. For they’re coming home in a
contending role, with every member of
he team—including the allegedly
‘ir.juied" Charley Malone and Jim
Barber—in fine physical condition and
>ec to play the game of their lives.
It is in far different mood from
hat with which the Skins left Pitts
jurgh a week ago dejected, not so
much over the loss to the Pirates
which prevented them from assuming
the leadership of the Eastern division,
is from an obvious lack of spirit
which belied their contention that
they were as good as the next team.
Although it doesn't show in the
>a>re against the league's biggest loser,
the Washingtons resembled a big
eague pro team yesterday, despite
elements which might have made
iny major combination resemble a
aunch of bushers. * A bitter cold
numbed fingers and a driving snow
made vision difficult. With Don Irwin
i Washington fans haven't yet seen
Irwin at his best) again lending
valuable assistance to Cliff (bride
groom today) Battles and with the
Redskin line holding the Rams to
two first downs, the statistics all were
in favor of the invaders.
All_a m_
-—WUUW tJMil.
gO FAR did they outclass the Rams
that they were forced to punt
anly four times during the entire
game—once in the second quarter
and three times in the last. And
don’t let any one tell you that Baugh’s
greatest value—not in a publicity way,
but as a player—lies in his forward
passing ability. Sammy's hurling av
erage may have dropped a few more
points when he completed only three
out of seven, but he more and more Is
proving to be as fine an all-around
back as there is on the team. Like
Battles, he can run and kick, and
his second boot of the day yesterday—
coming right after he was reinserted
Into the game in the fourth quar
ter—measured nearly 70 yards. Sammy
was some 8 yards behind the scrim
mage line on the Washington 23, yet
his boot—a quick kick at that—was
downed by the fast-moving Pinckert
on Cleveland’s 18.
It looked sort of black for the Skins
after that interception of Baugh's
pass led to a touchdown and Snyder’s
conversion gave the Rams a 7-6 lead
just as the half-time whistle blew'.
Instead of becoming excited in their
dressing room during the rest period,
the Skins viewed the whole situation
calmly, figured that there were 30
minutes left to play and listened
quietly as Coach Ray Flaherty moved
from one to the other, pointing out
little mistakes and remedies.
Riley’s Field Goal Inspires.
And Riley Smith booted further
confidence Into them soon after
the resumption of play when he kicked
another of his copyrighted field goals
from the 20-yard line to send them
into a 9-7 lead, which they never lost.
From then on, the Redskins coasted.
Both of the Skins’ touchdowns were
the products of sustained drives, re
vealing the hitherto somewhat dor
mant power. With Battles and Irwin
alternating In carrying the ball, they
marched 57 yards for their initial
touchdown soon after gaining the ball
for the first time. Their other six
pointer was the result of 66 yards of
rushes by Battles, Irwin and Smith—
the last named going over for the
score. That scoring play started out
as a pass, but when Riley found the
Skjn line opening up one of its numer
ous big holes of the day, he raced
through right tackle to score.
Incidentally that Skin line—with
Chuck Bond, Les Olsson, Ed Kawala
and Barber especially standing out—
played a whale of a game in prying
the Rams’ forward wall apart and get
ting through to drop Ram ball car
riers before they got started.
Green Bay’s Packers are due to ar
rive in Washington today, not so fresh
after their New York defeat, and will
work out during the week at the sta
dium. There is little hope now that
they can repeat their Western cham
pionship, but the Herber-to-Hutson
combination still has Its thrills—and
worries for opponents.

Grid World Hails California,
Dartmouth and Minnesota as
First Winners of Bis Titles
By HERBERT BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22 —The foot
ball world saluted California,
Minnesota and Dartmouth to
day as first of the country’s
najor 1937 sectional champions and
then turned to a mass of unfinished
ousiness, most of which will be dis
posed of in this week's double pro
tram.
Some 85,000 fans looked on at Palo
Mto last week as California's Golden
Bears smashed through Stanford,
13-0, captured the Pacific Coast Con
ference crown for the first time since
1928, won the right to represent the
Far West In the Rose Bowl classic at
Pasadena New Year's Day, and wound
ip a regular season marred only by a
;ie with Washington, the 1936 confer
snce title holder.
Minnesota, beaten by Nebraska and
Votre Dame In major upsets, never
theless salvaged the Big Ten cham
pionship out of the wreckage by brush
ng aside Wisconsin's Badgers, 13-6,
a complete an unbeaten conference
campaign. Meanwhile the wah-hoo
vah Indians of Dartmouth, giving an
pther smooth, powerful performance,
trounced Columbia, 27-0, won the Ivy
League title for the second year In a
row and finished an undefeated sea
ion for the first time since 1925.
Other Title* Unsettled.
CULL to be settled are the Southern,
Southeastern, Southwest, Rocky
Mountain and Big Six Conference title
races as well as such speculative ques
tions as a generally recognized cham
pion and an opponent for California
n the Rose Bowl game.
Yale’s defeat at the hands of a well
IrlUed, effective Harvard machine,
L3-6, and the 6-0 beating Montana
took from Idaho reduced the list of
najor undefeated elevens to 10. Of
these the East contributes six—La
fayette, Pitt, Fordham, Villanova,
Dartmouth and Holy Cross. The others
ire California, Colorado, Alabama
ind Santa Clara. Lafayette. Dart
mouth and California all have com
pleted their schedules, but each of the
jthers has one more hurdle to vault.
Outstanding features on the
rhanksgiving Day and Saturday pro
grams:
Fordham's Rams, who pushed St.
Mary’s Gaels all over the field, but
scored only once in a 6-0 victory, close
in Saturday against their traditional
rivals, New York University, whose
7-6 triumph a year ago still is fresh in
Fordham's memory. On the same
day, Holy Cross, held to a scoreless
draw by Carnegie Tech last week,
meets its ancient rival, Boston Col
lege. which was upset by Boston Uni
versity, 13-6, for the first time in his
tory.
Pitt and Villanova, other members
of the undefeated brigade. Invade for
eign soil for their wind-up games.
The Panthers, who smashed through
Penn State almost at will to win, 28-7.
travel to Durham to play Duke's Blue
Devils, 20-7, conquerors of North Car
olina State, on Saturday. Villanova,
which ran up a 33-0 count cm Tem
ple, largest in the history of the riv
alry, will close against Loyola at Los
Angeles Sunday.
Army Saves Regulars.
\/fOST colorful of the week'* en
gagements will find Army bat
tling Navy at Philadelphia on Satur
day in the annual service academy
classic. Army, without using a single
varsity player, overpowered St. John's
of Annapolis. 47-6, but Navy was the
victim of a stunning upset in the 26-6
shellacking by Princeton. Columbia,
beaten five times this season, plays
Stanford in another Saturday feature.
The Thanksgiving Day program is
headed by the annual battle between
Penn and Cornell. Duquesne, unex
pectedly beaten by Marquette, 13-6,
plays Detroit, while George Washing
ton, which held Arkansas scoreless
for the first time since 1934 in a 0-0
deadlock, meets West Virginia. Catho
lic and South Carolina, Brown and
Rutgers are other pairings.
Lafayette wound up its undefeated
and untied season last week with a
6-0 conquest of Lehigh, while Colgate,
unbeaten by Syracuse since 1924.
maintained its jinx over the Orange
in a 7-0 upset.
Middle West—The close of the Big
Ten campaign leaves fans with slen
der fare this week. Kansas, beaten
by Arizona, 9-7, but hoping for a
share in the Big Six title, plays Mis
souri on Thanksgiving Day, but Ne
braska will be favored to clinch the
crown beyond dispute by whipping
Kansas State on Saturday. Nebraska
flashed a scoring punch for the first
time in routing Iowa, 28-0. while
Kansas State was beaten by Iovp
State. 13-7.
Notre Dame, which cashed in on a
blocked kick to stop Northwestern. 7-0,
will play host to Southern California's
Trojans in a major Intersectional
tussle on Saturday.
Finishing behind Minnesota in the
Big Ten raoe were Ohio State's Buck
eyes. who trounced Michigan, 21-0, in
their final game. Illinois halted
Chicago, 31-0, and Purdue took favored
Indiana over the hurdles, 13-7.
Bama Battles Vandy.
COUTH: Climax of the Southeastern
° Conference sends unbeaten, untied
Alabama against Vanderbilt on Thurs
day. A victory for Vanderbilt will
leave the two teams tied in the final
standing with five victories and one
defeat. Louisiana State, nosed out by
Vanderbilt, can make it a triple tie in
that case by stopping Tulane on Satur
day. Mississippi and Mississippi State.
Kentucky and Tennessee are other
holiday pairings. On Saturday,
Georgia, which surprised by holding
powerful Auburn to a scoreless tie,
plays Georgia Tech, 12-0 victor over
Florida. Florida meets Auburn.
The Southern Conference champion
ship awaits the results of a heavy
Thanksgiving Day schedule. Clemson
and Maryland can wind up undefeated
and untied by checking Furman and
Washington and Lee, respectively.
North Carolina, with a final record of
four victories and a tie, may be recog
nized as champion whatever Clemson
and Maryland may accomplish. The
Tarheels walloped Duke, the 1936
champions, and played a heavier con
ference schedule than the others.
Other games this week pit Davidson
against Wake Forest, Virginia Tech
against Virginia Military and Rich
mond against William and Mary.
North Carolina plays Virginia.
Final Games to Decide.
gOUTHWEST: Texas Christian’s 7-2
triumph over Wee. with Davey

determine the winner. On Saturday,
Christian plays Southern Methodist,
which trounced U. C. L. A . 26-13, and
Rice meets Baylor, which walloped
Loyola (Calif.). 27-13. On Thursday,

pionship. Arkansas tackles Tulsa.

Rocky Mountain: Colorado and Den
ver play on Thanksgiving Day in the
decisive match of the conference race.
