Maryland’s Ball Battle With Vermont Opens D. C. College Season
WEIDINGER, GRID HURLER,
MERELY CHANGES WEAPON
Terps Also Down for Track and Lacrosse This
Week—Moran Completes Hoya Nine.
G. U. and G. W. Scrimmage.
By BILL DISMER, Jr.
Charley Weidinger, who threw a football with more than fair success fot
the University of Maryland last fall, will throw another kind of ball to Ver
mont’s lead-off man at 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon at College Park, and the
spring sports season for local colleges will be on.
Weidinger's pitch not only will open the first baseball game of the season
hereabout, but also will inaugurate a busy three-day stretch for Old Line ath
letes, who will take part in another*!*
baseball game, a lacross game and a
track meet before nightfall Wednesday.
The Terp nine is scheduled to play
its second game in as many days when
it tackles Ohio State on Tuesday, the
same afternoon on which Maryland's
lacross team will open its season
against Swarthmore. On Wednesday
the Old Line track team will play
hast to Michigan State.
Although Weidinger will open fire
for Maryland, he will be only one of
three who will see slab duty tomorrow
and one of six moundsmen to be used
by Coach Burton Shipley in the next
two days. Because he will not work
any pitcher more than three innings
at this stage of the season, "Ship"
plans to follow' Weidinger with Earl
Springer, southpaw freshman ace last
year, and Bill Steiner, another 1937
regular.
Crisafull and Boyda Catch.
Tuesday, he will send George Wood, I
Bill Silverman and Karl Ruble—all
on last year’s squad—to the mound in
that order.
Joe Crisafull. Roosevelt High prod
uct, and John Boyda, a soph, will di
vide the catching in each game, with
the possibility that Bob Bums may
work an inning or two behind the bat.
The rest of the team will line up and
come to bat in the following order:
Shorty Chumbris, shortstop; George
Knepley, first; Waverly Wheeler, third;
Bill Bryant, center; Mike Surgent,
left; Eddie Johnson, second and Lefty
Chumbris, right. Each was a regular
last year and with the exception of
Surgent and Johnson, who exchanged
positions, each played the same post
in 37.
Lacrosse Line-up Named.
Only four veterans will be in the la
crosse team which takes the field
against Swarthmore. Jim Meade, sec
ond defense; Parker Lindsay, center:
George Watson, first attack, and Rip
Hewitt, second attack, will be the vets
who will be surrounded by reserves and
newcomers.
Coach Jack Faber announced the
rest of his starting line-up last night
as follows: Haskin Deeley, goal; Bill
Wolfe, point: Bill Graham, cover point;
Milton Mulitz, first defense; Bill
Bond, first attack, and Bill Groff,
out home. Deeley and Groff played
enough last spring to earn their let
ters and Wolfe was a reserve in 1936,
but out last season with an injured
knee. Mulitz is taking his first crack
at lacrosse, while Bond was on the
1937 frosh team.
Maryland's track hopes against
Michigan State, noted for its distance
men, are only fair, but Coach Geary
Eppley believes he has uncovered
something he needed badly—a sprinter.
Kenneth Barnes is the boy who may
be the answer to Eppley's prayer. He
Is from Sykesville, Md.
Trartesters Should Thrill.
There should be some stirring com
petition in the track meet, especially
in the running events, as both the
Spartans and Terps will present out
standing performers.
Michigan State's leaders are Wil
bur Greer, an unbeaten sprinter, and
Harvey Woodstra, a hurdler, who has
tied the world indoor record of 7.4
seconds for the 60-yard highs. The
Spartans also have a 13-foot pole
vaulter in Lodo Habrle, a 2-miler who
has done 9:34 without being pressed in
Capt. Kenneth Waite and a clever
miler in Rudolph Lautenschlager.
Frank Cronin, who is slated for the
100, 200 and pole vault; Alan Miller in
the furlong and 440, Bill Thies in the
quarter. Coleman Headley in the half,
Jim Kehoe and Joe Peaslee in the 2
mile and Edwin Miller in the high
jump are Terps who will be tough for
the Spartans.
Kehoe should press Waite, and Lau
tenschlager will have a difficult job
to conquer Chronister.
Headley Still Fleet.
The meet will mark the return of
Headley to competition, as he was out
of action last year on account of ill
ness. The veteran middle distancer,
who will be competing in his last
season of sport for the Terps, breezed
a mile the other day in practice in
4:27.
In addition to the regular 14 events
there will be a mile relay, in which
Thies, Chronister, Alan Miller and
Cronin will run for Maryland. The
Terp four, which won the Southern
Conference title, was not beaten in
four indoor races.
Moran Completes Hoya Nine.
The son of an ex-big leaguer, who
became Catholic University's athletic
director after playing shortstop for
Pittsburgh and Washington, has
plugged the only hole on Georgetown's
1938 baseball team.
He is Charley Moran's son, Joe, a
sophomore at the Hilltop whom Coach
Joe Judge sent to second base yester
day in his squad’s first practice game
of the season.
Young Moran, a smooth fielder and
better-than-fair hitter, already has
clinched the keystone position despite
the fact that G. U.’s first game,
against Vermont, is not scheduled
until a week from tomorrow. According
to Judge, the old-timer's offspring has
shown enough of his dad’s former
ability to outplay any other candidate
for the one spot on the G. U. team
which is not occupied by one of last
year’s regulars.
Were it not for the all-around
classiness of Harry Bassin's game at
first, another sophomore might have
broken into the varsity line-up this
season. For another Joe. Mahoney,
a local product, has been flashing fine
form at the initial sack in practice
and might have ousted any other man
but Bassin. Mahoney, standing well
over 6 feet, doubtless will give the
Hoyas a worthy successor to Bassin
Who graduates this June.
Gridders Share Attention.
Although the Hoya nine, under
Judge, has attracted a considerable
number of onlookers at its dally work
out, it was shunned partially Fri
day by many who found a counter
attraction within a stone’s throw.
That magnet was a scrimmage be
tween the football squads of George
town and George Washington who
mixed it up on the lower Hilltop field.
It was the second time in three days
that the Colonials had scrimmaged a
different local rival, having practiced
with Maryland on Wednesday. As in
the G. W.-Maryland session, no effort
was made to keep track of even so
much as the number of yards gained
by either team, Coaches Jack Hagerty
and Bill Reinhart looking for individual
flaws rather than team supremacy.
Bob Nowaskey and Prank Merka,
G. W. backs, came out of the session
with a broken nose and dislocated
shoulder, respectively.
More than 200 spectators enjoyed the
two-ring circus provided by the scrim
mages between the respective first
teams and the second-stringers.
Shipley Loses Assistant.
Maryland lost more than a prospec
tive all-around varsity athlete when
Charley Norton signed that Boston
Red Sox contract. Norton, though in
eligible, had been helping Coach Burt
Shipley no little in preparing his team
this spring.
Probably possessing as much—if not
more—stuff than any pitcher on the
squad, Norton had been hurling sev
eral innings for both sides in daily
practice games, giving the Terps a
look at a varied assortment. Instead
of reporting to the Heurich baseball
team, as he was planning to do before
he signed with the Bosox, Norton now
will go to the Rocky Mount <N. C.)
team of the Piedmont League, a Bos
ton farm.
GIRLS IN COURT TILT
Georgetown Team Will Oppose
Cumberland Lassies.
Georgetown Girls’ Club basketers
will oppose the Business Girls’ sextet
of Cumberland, Md., at 3:30 this aft
ernoon on the Takoma Fire Depart
ment court.
The Maryland lassies have not lost
a game in four years, but the local
outfit is given a better than average
chance of turning the trick in light
of its sensational showing this year
in winning the District champion
ship.

M. A. Pro Golf Champion and President Accepts Berth at Roanoke Country Club.
George Diffenbaugh, for the last
10 years golf professional at the
Indian Spring Country Club, last
night announced his resignation,
effective April 10, to accept a sim
ilar post at the Roanoke (Va.)
Country Club.
His going to the Virginia club of
some 600 members removes not
only one of the District’s most
popular pros but also one of its
oldest—in point of service. Only
three others exceed his tenure in
local circles.
Standing only 5 feet 4 and weigh
ing 135 pounds, Diffenbaugh takes
to Roanoke the reputation of driv
ing as long a ball, pound for pound,
as any man in the country. His
all-around game earned him the
Middle Atlantic championship,
which he currently holds, and
brought him the District open
championship for two successive
years.
In instruction, the likable little
mentor seemed just as gifted as he
was in playing, for he developed
three District champions in the
last three years. Under his guid
ance Roger Peacock captured the
District title in 1935, Robert
Brownell won it in 1936 and Betty
Meckley won the women’s crown
last year. Brownell also won the
Middle Atlantic championship two
years in a row and Mrs. Meckley
captured the same sectional title
last year.
One of Diffenbaugh’s pupils the
last two years has been Joe Cronin,
Boston Red Sox manager. Cronin,
a daily player at Indian Spring
with his father-in-law, Clark Grif
fith, during his off-season, credits
Dilfenbaugh with cutting his score
from the 100’s to the low 80’s.
Now president of the Middle At
lantic P. G. A.. Diffenbaugh once
qualified for the National Open and
again for the national P. G. A., but
he remembers with greatest pride
a record which he and Munro
Hunter hung up in 1931-2. That
was the period in which he and
Hunter were undefeated in a single
exhibition match with many of the
country’s outstanding pros, num
bering among their victims George
Von Kim and Billy Burke and play
ing a tie with Audrey Boomer and
Archie Compton, then an ace Brit
ish combination.
Diffenbaugh came to Indian
Spring in 1927 from the Saranao
Inn course at Saranac Lake, where
he, spent the 1926-7 seasons. He
had spent a year with a Washington
ciub in 1924, whence he came from
his first pro assignment with the
Baltimore Country Club.
No Intimation of his successor
at Indian Spring has been given.

Mrs. Coe Women’s Leader
in Potomac Event—Meet
Winds Up Today.
George Deyoe of the National Capi

feature .410 event at the annual
Potomac open skf>et championships.
He defeated R. Watson, 24-19, in a
25-target shoot-off after they had tied
with 45s in the regular 50-target event.
In the women's division, Mrs. Wil
liam C. Coe shot a perfect score in a
25-target shoot-off after she and Mrs.
Florence Walker both shot 48s in the
50-target tilt. Mrs. Walker, who was
the Nation's outstanding woman skeet
shot in 1937, got 23 hits in the
shoot-off.
Richard E. Stuart, sr.. had high gun
in the .20-gauge event with 98-100,
V. A. Frank was runner-up with 95,
and George Deyoe third with 94.

How interesting history would be if
more of it. at least for juvenile con
sumption, were written from the view
point of the little, human causes. How’
I struggled to memorize what the war
between the Guelphs and the Ghibel
lines was all about, and it is only re
cently that I learned.
It all started because a certain Mr.
Guelpho, upon returning from a hunt
with his friend, Mr. Ghibellino, was
tactless enough to make some deroga
tory remarks about Ghibellino's hound.
Being in the usual state natural at
or shortly after hunt breakfasts, Ghi
bellino was in a mood to take the re
mark to heart.
The quarrel waxed hotter and spread
not only to each man's retainers, but
to his friends and associates, and
finally embroiled Emperor Frederick
the First and Pope Honorious II. And
all because of a hound!
A statement made in this column
recently that a dog may be kept en
tirely free from fleas has been chal
lenged by the owner of a dog that
seems to be a special haven for fleas
winter and summer. Keeping a dog
flea-free is simple, but entails work.
First, if the dog is kept in the house
and allowed on the furniture, all the
furniture and rugs "have to be vac
uumed regularly and often to rid them
of their quota of fleas and eggs.
If they are badly infested, and often
they are, whether the housekeeper re
alizes it or not, it is a wise precaution
to sprinkle flea powder in all the
cracks and corners and on the rugs
and leave it on for a few days, and
then vacuum regularly. The dog itself
should be dipped in a solution of creo
lin, immersing the body and keeping
it immersed a minute or so, then
quickly dipping the head. The creolin
should not be rinsed off, but allowed
to dry on the dog.
While he still is damp he should be
thoroughly combed with a steel flea
comb, obtainable at the better pet
stores. This comb must be fine. This
procedure should be followed weekly
for at least three weeks, by which time
both fleas and eggs should be elimi
nated. In making the creolin solution,
directions on the bottle must be fol
lowed for proper strength of the solu
tion.
Thereafter, the dog should be dusted
lightly but regularly, once a week,
with a good grade of flea powder that
is particularly strong in derris root.
If these directions are followed ex
actly. the fleas will be entirely elimi
nated.
The Monumental City Kennel Club
is holding its first show today from
noon to 10 tonight at the Richmond
Armory in Baltimore. This show is
just for toy breeds, and has entries

toy dogs. Mrs. E. W. Miller of River

Papillons and Pekingese. Mrs. F. Y.
Mathis of Greenwich, Conn., is Judg

Recreational Center.

Scibelli Not Held Great
Match for Popular Joey
Tomorrow Night.
Johnny Scibelli, a French-Italian
bantamweight, whose chief claim to
fame has been snatched in losing
bouts to credited clouters, will clash
with Joey Archibald, favorite of local
ringworms, in a 10-round bout tomor
row night at Turner's Arena, and the
odds favor Schibelli's negative streak
being extended.
Unknown here, Scibelli is a former
New England bantamweight champion,
a title held by Archibald five years
ago. After turning professional three
years ago, Johnny confined most of his
fighting to Holyoke and North Adams,
Mass., and although he and Joey are
from the same sector they never have
met.
Archibald After Escobar.
Archibald, who has become increas
ingly popular here after making his
debut at the Arena less than a year
ago in a $75 preliminary, only to
grasp nearly $2,000 four months later
for kayoing Lou Gevinson at Griffith
Stadium, now is being primed for a
crack at Sixto Excobar, world bantam
weight champion.
Matchmaker Goldie Aheam is confi
dent of staging the scrap at Griffith
[ Stadium In June, and if the bout is
signed this week, as expected, will
allow Joey to rest until his big test.
Archy has performed nine times before
local customers and on each occasion
has come out on top. He will be seek
ing his tenth consecutive win here at
Scibelli's expense.
Achibald. who has operated against
featherweights almost exclusively,
meets in Scibelli a legitimate ban
tamweight who may give him trouble
if Joey delays getting started as did
against Johnny Mirabelia in his last
appearance here. Joey twice was
floored in that argument before clip
ping Johnny in the ninth round.
Kanner in Semi-Final.
Swinging in a six-round semi-final
will be Murray Kanner. the local
heavyweight, who was kayoed by Buck
Everett in his last start, and Nick
Rabin, a former coal miner from
Allentown. Pa.
Another six-rounder will find Stumpy
Jacobs, Hopewell (Va.) lightweight,
meeting Bill Temes, a local lad; while
four-rounders will find A1 Dintamin
facing Chester Ruby and Johnny
Gilley aiming at Benny Kessler. The
first of these will be launched at 8:30
o'clock.

Each Shoots Subpar 66 at
Greensboro—Revolta Also
Shatters Record.
By the Assoclsted Press.
GREENSBORO, N. C , March 26 —
Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Winches
ter, Mass., and Sammy Snead of
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, shot
subpar rounds of 66 today to hop
into the lead in the first round of
the $5,000 Greater Greensboro Golf
Tournament.
The record for the Starmount
course, over which the first two rounds
of the meet are being played, was
cracked twice today as the cream
of the Nation’s golfing talent bore
down on the tricky traps and greens.
Monday’s 36-hole final will be fought
out over the Valley Brook course at
the Sedgefield Country Club.
Before McSpaden. runner-up in
the 1937 P, G. A. Tournament, and
the long-hitting Snead posted their
sizzling rounds, Johnny Revolta had
come in with a 68 to better by one
stroke the record set in 1932 by
Henry Picard in beating the veteran
Walter Hagen in the play-off for the
Carolinas open championship.
Snead's Golf Best of Bay.
Snead's performance was tops for
the day. After touring the first round
of the course in one over par, he
got down to business and made the
iast nine in six under. He picked
up one birdie on the out, nine and
five on the route home.
The day's disappointment was Victor
Ghezzi of Deal, N. J„ winner of the
North and South Open at Pinehurst
yesterday and a red-hot favorite.
He bogged down from the sensational
pace he set in the Sandhills meet
and the best he could do today was
a 75, which left him far back in the
field.
Revolta’s well-shot 68 put him in a
threatening position for tomorrow's
second round. Two strokes behind him
came Bill Heinlein of Indianapolis, Leo
Mallory of Wee Burn, Conn., and
Johnny Bulla, a former High Point,
N. C., amateur now playing out of
Chicago.
Cooper, Smith Get 71’s.
Harry Cooper, the Chicopee. Mass.,
stylist, and Horton Smith of Chicago
were in the next bracket with 71's
and behind them were grouped
Maurice Walsh of Scarsdale, N. Y.;
George Slingerland. Greensboro pro
fessional; Denny Shute, the P. G. A.
champion, now playing out of West
Newton, Mass.; Tony Penna of Dayton,
Ohio; Ky Laffoon of Chicago, Henrv
Picard of Hershey, Pa.; Ralph Guldahl
of Chicago. Paul Runyan of White
Plains. N. Y.. and Tony Manero of
Peabody, Mass., former open cham
pion.
