: rate oj Redskins Against Giants Appears Squarely Up to Baugh
-<!
4
Needs Nine More Completed
Passes to Beat Record
Set by Herber.
By JOHN LARDNER.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3 —The fate
of George Preston Marshall
and his Washington Redskins,
candidates for the national
professional football championship,
will be pretty squarely up to Samuel
Baugh this Sabbath, when the Red
skins lock with the Giants for the
right to represent the East against
the Bears of Chicago.
If the Baugh breaks, the Redskins
will fall, and down will come Wash
ington, laundry and all. That is how
the Poet Keats felt about it, and the
Poet Keats never spoke a truer word.
Samuel, the slinging Texan, is not
the first man to make the world pass
conscious. There were others before
him. There were Gus Dorais and
Elmer Ohphant and George Gipp and
Benny Friedman and Barry Wood,
and there was Casanova, who set an
18th century record for passes, and
there was Leonidas, who threw up the
first pass defense at Thermopylae.
* Nor is Samuel the whole Redskin
ball club. There is a great running
* back named Cliff Battles on the team,
and a fine, fast, hard-charging line,
a doe-footed catcher named Charley
Malone, and a great, general, blocker
and field goal kicker in Riley Smith,
and a complete exemption from laun
dry bills, which is the contribution of
the owner, Mr. Marshall, and not the
least of the club's assets.
Sam Comes Through in Clutch.
DUT this Baugh has a way of
dominating critical ball games.
When his college mob. the Texas
Christians, needed help, it was always
slinging Samuel who came through in
the clutch. Then there was the
charity game last September between
the college all-stars and the Green
Bay Packers, pro champions of 1936.
Baugh was picked for the all-star
team while your correspondent was
down in Texas hunting snails with
gun and camera. At that time Mr. J.
Curtis Sanford, president of the cot
ton bowl and a bloodhound for oil in
his spare time, made a spacious state
ment.
“Sammy Baugh will be the out
standing star of that game,’’ said Mr.
Sanford.
“No, No,” said your correspondent
tolerantly.
“Yes, yes, yes.” barked Mr. Sanford,
striking oil in his excitement. .“Yesv
yes. yes.”
“Have you never heard of a Green
Bay Packer named Arnie Herber, the
best passer in pro football?”
“Never mind him,” said Mr. San
ford. “Pay no attention to him. You
do not know what passing is until
you have seen Samuel Baugh throw
the ball."
Mr. Sanford threw a couple of
cantaloupes at a fireplug to illustrate
his point, and added:
“What's more. I will bet you a hat
that I am right.”
Well, I will not go into the mournful
details of that there Holocaust, where
in Slinging Samuel dominated the
action from start to finish and was,
beyond all doubt, the outstanding star
of the dog fight. I owe Mr. Sanford,
the oil-prober, a hat, and the grue
some part of it is that when a Texan
says “hat” he means a three-family
article holding 5 gallons and complete
with radio, refrigerator and two-car
garage. I will pay him his ill-gotten
millinery as soon as I raise the funds,
which may be a year from next
Michaelmas.
Laundry Debate Lures Baugh.
CHORTLY after Samuel Baugh
perpetrated this piece of treachery
and become the leading hand-stitched
Benedict Arnold of his day and age,
he was approached by George Preston
Marshall, the laundry tycoon. Mr,
Marshall’s tactics when stalking a
football player are highly unusul.
Wearing rubber-soled shoes and a
coon-skin cap, he baits his trap with
reduced laundry prices.
“Where else can you get a shirt
cleaned for 4 cents, collar included?”
he asks the victim. “With the Giants?
With the Eagles? With the Lions?
With the bears? One thousand
(1,000) times no!”
By the time Mr. Marshall had come
to the matter of cotton undershirts
Samuel Baugh was his, body and
soul. I believe there was also a cash
consideration of $7,500 for a season’s
work. At any rate, Mr. Baugh is now
a full-fledged Redskin, which has
nothing to do with the amount of
starch Mr. Marshall puts in those
shirts.
By a singular chance, Samuel will
be after a new professional football
record when he moves against the
Giants Sunday, and that is a record
now held by the same Amie Herber
of Green Bay, whom your correspond
ent backed with a hat last Septem
ber. Herber’s all-time mark is 77
completed passes in a season, estab
lished in 1936.
Baugh up to date has completed
69. Eight completions against the
Giants will tie the record and nine
will fracture it. The way Samuel
throws that ball around, especially
when Washington is gunning for a
key victory, nine completed passes
will not be an unusual afternoon's
work.
Sam has thrown X56 passes in all
tills season and his completions were
good for a total gain of 974 yards.
Also his kicking has been strong and
effective and his running hard to
stop. The more the rest of the Na
tional League clubs see of this un
regimented Texan the less they like
him, and that is their privilege, sure
enough.
To win the Eastern title and meet
the Bears in the play-off at Chicago,
the Redskins must beat the Giants.
A tie or a Giant win will freeze them
cut.

Newspaper Alliance, las.)

The Round Man Goes to Town.
opeciai uispatcn to me star.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 3.—The little round man puffed solemnly on his
big black cigar as the newspaper men in room 1530 listened to the
announcement of a player trade between the White Sox and the
Tigers. After the writing boys scurried away, jotting notes and
ordering wires to be set up, the man behind the cigar walked down to the
lobby to buy a paper. Joe Cronin bore down on him.
“You want to see me, Joe?” asked James Joseph Dykes.
“No,” answered Cronin, “I just want to look at you. If I wasn't so bash
ful I'd ask you to let me touch you.”
You see. James Jcteph Dykes is becoming to be a trading figure. It used
to be that Clark Griffith was adjudged the toughest in the baseball industry.
But that was before Dvlres ramp a Inner -
Jimmy is the new champion, with
practically all precincts heard from.
As far as the more expert
observers can see, Dykes made
his White Sox into honest-to
goodness pennant threats in
dealing with the Tigers.
He filled the open space at third
base with Marvin Owen, one of the
best defensive third sackers in the
business and a timely, if not heavy,
hitter. He improved his outfield with
the acquisition of Gerald Walker and
he grabbed one of the most promising
young catchers in the American
League in Mike Tresh.
In exchange he gave to Detroit
Pitcher Vernon Kennedy, Infielder
Tony Piet and Outfielder Dixie Walker.
According to a ghastly majority of
baseball men, the only thing even
about the trade was the number of
players involved . . . three for three.
Harris Concedes Sox an Edge.
gUCKY HARRIS is one who felt
obligated to salaam in the presence
of Dykes. “Chicago’s got so many
pitchers that Dykes doesn’t need Ken
nedy.” said Bucky.. “Piet never was
important and in swapping Dixie
Walker for Gerald Walker he got a
50 per cent better outfielder and
hitter. Chicago wound up with a fine
third baseman and a catcher, who
probably will be ready for regular duty
when Luke Sewell is ready to quit.”
Overnight the White Sox have be
come flag threats. Dykes has two fine
starting pitchers in Monty Stratton
and Johnny Whitehead, and two
promising youngsters in Bill Cox from
St. Paul and John Rlgney. In addi
tion, tlj.ere are Thornton Lee, Bill
Dietricli, Ted Lyons and Clint Brown,
valuable veterans.
If Rignrv and Cox between
them can take up the slack that
may be caused by Kennedy’s de
parture, the Sox may be very,
very tough to beat.
Dykes and Lou Comiskey have rid
den to buying, selling and trading
glory in the few fruitful years they
have spent together. In 1932 Comiskey
bought A1 Simmons, Dykes and Mule
Haas from Philadelphia for $100,000.
What he really got was two outfielders,
a fine drawing card, a third baseman
and one of the best managers in the
league for exactly $25,000.
All for $25,000.
rJ'HE trick wasn’t done with mirrors.
Simmons packed in crowds at
Chicago for three years, in spite of
his disappointing performances. Haas
played a lot of outfield for the Sox and
Dykes was no bum on third base. Then
Dykes was made manager.
One of Jimmy's early acts was to sell
Simmons to Pal Mickey Cochrane for
a cool $75,000. That was getting out
from under a heavy investment. The
Sox got three years of service out of
one of the most famous outfielders in
history and still had Manager Dykes
and a good utility player in Haas. And
all for $25 000!
Prior to the sale of Simmons to De
troit for $75,000, which happened only
a year before Detroit resold A1 to
Washington for $7,500, Dykes made
his first deal as manager of the Sox.
This was destined to be the only deal
on which he lost. He traded Red
Kress to the Nats in exchange for one
Bob Boken. You never hear of Boken
any more. Kress, at least, is bouncing
from the minors back into the majors.
At least, he is (xiuncing into the
Browns' fold.
Lost Only One Joust.
'J'HAT one setback must have roused
the ire of Mrs. Dykes’ boy, James
Joseph. Anyway, he hasn’t lost on a
deal since. He obtained one of the best
catchers in baseball, Sewell, for a pal
try $6,000. He traded one Les Tietje
for Sugar Cain and won. He bought
Dietrich for the waiver price and
loves to be reminded of it.
He got Dixie Walker for
$7,500 and practically traded
him for Gerald Walker, whose
price tag at the moment must
be in the neighborhood of
$80,000.
He grabbed Kennedy when the A’s
failed to exercise their option on the
big right-hander and all Vernon did
was to win 21 games in 1936 and bring
Owen in trade yesterday. He got the
second ranking relief pitcher in the
league for $7,500. Clint Brown, I
mean.
Mike Kreevich he bought from a
minor league club and last year he
came to grips with the legendary Grif
fith, the Old Pox, for the first time.
In a three-cornered deal also involv
ing Cleveland, the Nats sent Earl
Whitehill to Cleveland, which dis
patched Lefty Lee to Chicago. To
Washington the little round man sent
Jack Salveson. You never hear of
Salveson now, either. He did not sur
vive spring training. But Lee ... he

RICE IS GIVEN NOD
OVER METHODISTS
Trojans, Tulsa, Vols, Dukes,
Miami and Florida Are
Other Choices.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3—Call this
the swan-song of an ugly
duckling or the farewell fol
de-rol of a gridiron guesser,
about to quit the eight-ball for com
modius winter quarters among the
mothballs. To make a short story
even shorter, prospects for this
week's slender schedule appear about
as follows:
Southern Methodist-Rice: This de
termines the Southwest Conference
crown and a Cotton Bowl opponent
for Whizzer White and his University
of Colorado Buddies. S. ,M. U.’s Mus
tangs have been picking up tremen
dous momentum in the stretch but
this ballot goes to Rice in the belief
that Ernie Laln’s pitching arm has
lost none of its power or cunning.
Trojans Strong Favorites.
OOUTHERN CALIFORNIA-U. C. U.
A: Maybe the Trojans still will
be train-sick after that jaunt to South
Bend, but Southern California must
be given a big edge over U. C, L. A.,
one of the biggest disappointments of
the year.
Tulsa-Manhattan: The New York
ers’ biggest victories this year have
been over passing teams—Detroit and
Michigan State, for instance. Some
how or other this corner is willing to
let that fact be forgotten long enough
to cast an uncertain vote for Tulsa.
Tennessee - Mississippi: Tennessee
must get the nod.
Mississippi State-Duquesne: Hard
to figure in view of State's triumph
over Mississippi and Duquesne's
shocking upset of Detroit. Out of the
hat, Duquesne.
luwiui uaiuc • ruuicr.
MIAMI-SOUTH CAROLINA: Miami
beat Catholic, Catholic beat
South-Carolina, therefore Miami will
beat South Carolina. Or will it?
That gets us nowhere, so, in the midst
of a dizzy tailspin, Miami.
Florida-Kentucky: Probably close.
Florida.
San Francisco-Texas A. & M.: Coast
teams haven’t been having any luck
With the Southwest this season. Texas
A. & M.
Arizona-Oregon: Looks close enough
to justify a flier on Arizona.
Centenary-Louisiana Tech: Cen
tenary.
Loyola (Los Angeles)-Gonzaga: The
coin says Loyola.
P. S.: Georgia to beat Miami on De
cember 10.
PIRATES RELEASE FOUR
Biggs, Preibisch, Richmond and
Coletti Go to Knoxville.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 3 (jP).—The
Pittsburgh Pirates have announced to
day the release under option of four
players to the Knoxville club of the
Southern Association.
They are Inflelder Charles Biggs
and Outfielder Melvin Preibisch,
Pirate recruits, who played for Savan
nah in the South Atlantic League last
season: Second Baseman Proctor
Richmond, formerly with Wilkes
Barre, in the New York-Pennsylvanla
League, and Eugene Coletti, first base
man last season for Hutchinson, in
the Western Association.
The Pirates previously had released
three players to Knoxville, one of six
club6 with which they have working
agreements for the 1938 season.
Leave Football Rules Alone,
General Opinion of Coaches,
Queried Regarding Changes
Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Despite
agitation for three specific
rules changes designed to help
the offense in football, a na
tion-wide poll of college coaches by
the Associated Press today revealed a
strong general desire to "leave well
enough alone.”
This may help simplify the task of
the National Collegiate A. A. Rules
Committee, Which goes into its an
nual huddle on New Year’s Day at
Edgewater Park, Miss. This session,
which is being held two months earlier
than usual, will follow the annual N.
C. A. A. convention 1ft New Orleans.
Subject to various reservations, such
as those proposed by Notre Dame’s
Elmer Layden and Nebraska's Biff
Jones, a "no-tinkering” policy with
regard to the rules is advocated by a
majority of head coaches. The list
favoring conservative approach to any
consideration of rules changes in
cludes Jock Sutherland of Pittsburgh,
Dick Harlow of Harvard. Bill Kern
of Carnegie, Hank Hardwick of Navy,
Ray Morrison of Vanderbilt, Wallace
Wade of Duke, Stub Allison of Cali
fornia and Harry Kipke of Michigan.
Warner Would Check Defense.
'T'HE veteran Glen (Pop) Warner of
Temple heads the coaching wing
which feels something drastic should
be done to keep the defense, with its
five-man line as a prime example,
from getting the upper hand on the
gridiron.
The three changes most discussed,
as likely to aid the offense, comprise
(1) return of the goal posts to the goal
line, (2) legalizing forward passing
from any spot behind the scrimmage
line and (3) forcing the defense to
keep a definite number of players on
the scrimmage line, preferably six.
Prank Thomas, coach of Alabama's
Rose Bowl-bound team, is particularly
strong in support of limiting defense
formations.
"It is impossible to teach college
boys blocking assignments for all the
various defense set-ups now being
played, with the limited time we have
for practice,” says Thomas.
Columbia's Lou Little, who has
headed the coaches' own Rules Com
mittee for several years, agrees with
Thomas and Warner on a proposal
to compel the defense to keep a def
inite number of men on the line of
scrimmage. The only alternative, in
Little’s opinion, is to do away with
the huddle system of calling signals.
Lakden chimes into the offense-de
fense controversy with the suggestion
that "if sentiment exists that the of
fense is overshadowed by the defense,”
restrictions on the shift (the full-sec
ond stop after the shift is made) be
eliminated.
Various Changes Urged.
jJEYOND these proposals, the sug
gested changes are aimed at par
ticular portions of the game.
Layden would establish a zone simi
lar to that now applying to clipping,
beyond which a ball carrier may get
up and run after his knee touches
the ground, and would lift the re
oiijiiuviia vjii i uunuig wjui a iuni uicu
ball.
William P. (Hiker) Joy of Canisius
would increase the clipping penalty
from 15 to 25 yards, and expel the
player committing the foul. Paul
(Dizzy) McLeod of Furman supports
the latter half of that suggestion,
made on the grounds that a player
who has been clipped usually is un
able to continue in the game.
Marchie Schwartz of Creighton, as
a safety measure/ would abolish the
spectacular crowd-pleasing kick-off,
and, together with William (Doc)
Newton of North Carolina State,
would seek better protection for the
passer. Newton likes the pro rule of
moving the ball in from the sidelines
15 yards, rather than 10. Jim Crow
ley of Fordham would like legislation
against the "forward fumble,” putting
the ball in play at the spot where
the offense fumbles, rather than
where it recovers. Jones would
penalize the offense at the spot of
the foul rather than of the previous
down when an attempted down-field
lateral is thrown forward.
All of the coaches probably would
join Layden, who wishes “they might
legislate a second touchdown for us,
so I will not age so rapidly because
of our one-touchdown offense.”
Top National Honor, Great
Win Marks Are Held by
Schools of State.
By the Associated Press.
HILADKI .PHIA, Dec. 3.—Penn
sylvania’s collegiate football
representatives more than up
held the Keystone State’s
gridiron repuation during the 1937
season.
Consider these achievements:
Six of the eleven undefeated teams
of the East represented Pennsylvania
institutions. Pittsburgh won general
recognition as the outstanding team in
the country.
Three teams led the way in de
fensive play. Lafayette and Albright
permitted the opposition only six
points and Villanova only seven.
Thirty-seven Pennsylvania teams
turned in 68 victories against 47 de
feats and 11 ties for an average of
.591 in competition with out-of-State
opponents.
Lafayette boasted the only unde
feated and untied season in the State
with eight victories in as many games,
but Pittsburgh, Villanova, Dickinson
and Albright had only a single tie
contest and Lock Haven State Teach
ers’ College two ties to mar otherwise
perfect records. Pitt won nine games,
Villanova eight, Dickinson and Al
bright seven each and Lock Haven
six.
VIRGINIA STANDS PAT.
RICHMOND, Vs., Dec. 3 (A*).—With
the annual meeting of the Southern
Conference here just a week away,
there was no Indication that the Uni
versity of Virginia, a charter member,
would reconsider its resignation from
that group.

Redskins, Giants Bolstering
Confidence With “Hunches”
As They Await Crucial Game
BJ BILL OISHEb, jr„
BUff Correspondent ot'Tne Star.
RYE, N. Y„ Dec. 3.—There are
more hunches being heard
around this swanky West
chester Country Club today
regarding the outcome of Sunday’s
Etedskins-Olants game than there Is
rye In Rye. Each side, It seems, has
Its own “Irrefutable” reasons why
Its favorites cannot be defeated.
Space doesn't permit an itemized
list of even half of them, but the two
omens considered luckiest by the
Washington and New York contingents
are these:
Ray Flaherty never has failed to
be involved in a play-off between
the Eastern and Western champions
lince the National Football League
Instituted the post-season game for
the loop title in 1933. Ray was as
sistant coach of the Giants in 1933,
’34 and ’35, and each year the New
Workers won the sectional title. Last
year was Flaherty’s first as the Red
skin coach and the Indians immedi
ately took the title from his old team.
As further comfort to Washington
fans, Ray has promised to wear his
“lucky” brown suit which he has worn
on three occasions this season when
his team won important games—the
first game with the Giants at Griffith
Stadium in September, the first Pitts
burgh game when his team snapped
out of a bad slump, and the Green Bay
game last Sunday.
We Hope It'll “Sait” This Sunday.
J^EW YORKERS, however, are bank
ing on Owner Tim Mara’s asser
tion that the date of December 5—
which will be the date next Sunday—
is a lucky day in Giant football history.
It was on that same .date, in 1925,
that the appearance Of Red Grange
with the Chicago Bears attracted 72,
000 to a game in New York and it is
that game that Giant officials credit
with the start of professional foot
ball’s success here.
May December 5, 1937, mark the
end of the current season here.
GianU Too Cocky?
AVER confidence may win for the
Redskins, or rather, lose for the
Giants.
According to Mrs. Chuck Bond,
pretty wife of the good-looking re
serve tackle of the Skins who is
stopping at the same New York hotel
in which the Giants live, the Mara
men are serious in their preparations
for the game—only “the game” is the
anticipated one with the Chicago
Bears on December 12. That, of
course, will pit the Western champions
against the winner of Sunday’s game
at the Polo Grounds, or the Giants,
in case of a tie.
Despite contrary statements in the
press—from their press agent—the
Giants really are planning to take the
Redskins in stride. The Redskins,
however, are planning to take the
Giants for a ride.
Leemans Best, or Pest?
'T'HE college gridder who drew more
applause than any other in Dis
trict history may be responsible for
the most moans from Washingtonians
coming here for the game. Because
Redskin coaches openly admitted to
day that they feared Tuffy Leemans,
George Washington’s “team” from
1933 through 1935, more than any
other Giant back. Danowski is
New York’s best passer; Les Corzine,
their best blocker, usually is good for
2 or 3 yards whenever called upon to
carry the ball, but Leemans is con
sidered the best.
Here’s hoping the best doesn’t turn
into a pest for the Redskins. In
cidentally, one description of a Giant
practice told of the players all being
dressed in their old college uniforms
and cited Leemans as outstanding
because G. W.’s canary yellow. They
should have seen the star-spangled
Colonials.
f?RNY PINCKERT, the Skins’ best
blocking back, received notifica
tion today that he had been selected
for Southern California’s all-time team
of greats. Pinckert will be the only
one of the eleven selected who will
be unable to be present at the presen
tation ceremonies in Los Angeles to
night.
But Emy has business in New York,
when he will try to establish himself
as another all-time great in the
9Pinion of Washington fandom.
All-Time Greats Play.
gPEAKING of all-time greats, New
York fans will see on Sunday
what Washingtonians have seen on
six occasions this year: A team with
3 of the 11 players selected on the
all-time Rose Bowl team announced
last year.
Capt. Turk Edwards, who played
with Washington State in the late
20s; Pinckert, the Trojan Trump, and
Dixie Howell of Alabama's 1936 Rose
Bowl champion, are the three Red
skins who hold as high a distinction
as may befall any gridder.
'J'HE ticket sale here is as bad or
good as it was in Washington last
week for the Green Bay game.
Agencies this morning announced that
the only sideline seats left were down
at the goal lines, although plenty of
end-zone seats remained. And the
cheapest reserved seat is $2.20, com
pared to the $1.65 asked by George
Marshall in Washington.
New York papers have been widely
advertising the fact that the game
is going over big in Washington
where every ticket which has been
sent down from Giant offices here
has been sold. But it has hastened
to assure New Yorkers that officials
were holding back tickets for their
own fans.
PITT STARS WANT TRIP
Goldberg, Souchak, Matisi Look
to Coast’s East-West Game.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3 _
Several of those Pittsburgh football
players who voted against a Rose
Bow-1 trip are anxious to play in the
Shrine’s annual East-West game here
New Year Day.
William Coffman, managing direc
tor of the game, said today that in
formation came from his Eastern rep
resentatives. He added that Fullback
Marshall Goldberg. End Prank Sou
chak and Tackle Tony Matisi of the
Panthers are almost certain to receive
bids.

RYE:, N. Y., Dec. 3.—The old
college spirit may be very
much in evidence if the Redskins
beat the Giants here Sunday, thus
retaining their Eastern champion
, ship of the National Football
League.
According to some of the thou
sands coming up for the game,
Washingtonians are planning to
tear up the Polo Grounds goal
posts, a la collegiate, in event of
a Redskin victory.
But even better, the Redskins
themselves will revert to college
tactics if they win. For departing
from professional ante-game tac
tics, the Skins are planning to
gather in a circle and give the
Giants a cheer at the end of the
game.
Rumors that it would be a Bronx
cheer oould not be confirmed.
