Wilson and Roosevelt Are Due More Misery in Battling Central and Anacostia
-* - ♦---—
From the
Press Box
Damski, Fistic Linguist,
Fair With Fighters
By JOHN L.AKUNKK.
Special Correspondent of The 8tar.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (N.A.N.A.).—
A few years ago, Mr. Paul Damski,
the globe-trotting fight manager,
hari a German heavyweight named
Walter Neusel, who later fought
Max Schmeling for the champion
ship.
Neither Mr. Damski nor Mr. Neu
sel spoke very good English when
they first arrived here—especially
Mr. Neusel. Knowing your cor
respondent to be a fellow of irre
proachable dignity and refinement,
they studied English by reading his
stuff in the papers. I think they
struggled a week with this pure,
bubbling bit of Addisonian prase
before they gave it up.
‘T been in this country just long
enough to learn enough English,”
Mr. Damski told me courteously, "to
know that your English is no good.”
Having cleared up this point, he
turned to other sources and soon
was talking our patois like a native
of Illinois, New York, California,
Texas, Massachusetts, Iowa, Mis
souri and Michigan, all of which
commonwealths he visited with his
stable of fighters in fast succession.
Learning Finnish, Swedish
Is Tough Task.
English was the ninth language
that Mr. Damski mastered. He now
is mastering two more, for a total
of 11. Mr. Damski’s catalogue of
dialects includes the following well
known tongues: Lithuanian, Hebrew,
Yiddish, Polish, Russian. Czecho
slovakian, German, French and
English.
He now is working on Finnish and
Swedish.
His current heavyweight threat,
Gunnar Barlund, is a Swedish Finn.
Since there are many little com
mercial details between manager
and fighter which need illumination
daily, Finnish and Swedish are
necessary to Mr. Damski, though the
gunnar, by this time, thinks and
speaks pretty clearly in American j
money.
"Finnish and Swedish are hard to
learn at the same time." says Mr.
Damski. “They are nothing alike.
Swedish, that's a good Scandinavian ;
language. Finnish, I can't tell you ;
what that's like. It's like no other
language.
"Lithuanian, where T come from,
has a language more like the Latin.
Polish. Russian, they were not hard
for me. When I have German
fighters. I learn German. I am
sometimes in France, so I learn
French. Now I know English."
/s / rvi. fi.Ll.
vwiici ui i lym jiuuic
Sees Much of U. S.
Now an American citizen, Mr.
Damsk probably has seen more of
America than nine-tenths of flur
population. That's what happens
to a gentleman who owns a stable
of fighters—a new Finnish light
weight, "my old soldier" (the Ger
man middleweight. Eric Seelig.) and
"my big fellow" (Gunnar Barlund).
The Damski troupe tours the
country looking for good fight spots.
They've been in California recently,
where the Gunnar, forging back to
the top of the heavyweight heap,
knocked out Jack Roper and a
couple of others.
"You would never know my big
fellow," says Mr. Damski enthusias
tically. "Remember how the Gun
nar used to bleed? And how he
was sluggish, after his first few
fights? We were on our way to a
title match when we met Lou Nova,
and we were beating Lou Nova,
when the Gunnar got a little cut
over the eye and it bled so much
that the referee stopped it.
"Well, he don't bleed like that
any more. Every once in a while,
the Gunnar’s teeih would hurt. But
he wouldn't go to the dentist.
Scared. Afraid of the dentist. He
would tell me, 'I don't want him to
drill me. I get a headache.’ So he
put it off until finally he has the
toothache real bad and I drag him
to the dentist in California.
Gunnar in Great Trim
After Seeing Dentist.
"Well, he had a bad abscess. Tire
Gunnar was full of poison The
blood goes lo his head, and that's
why he bleeds and is feeling slug
gish. But now six teeth are out,
and the Gunnar fights like he used
to. Ir Lou Nova has got any
thing in here." Mr. Damski tapped
the left side of his chest, “he
will give the Gunnar a return match.
Let the best man W'in. No cuts
this time.”
Seelig. Mr. Damski's middleweight,
was driven out of Germany by a
purge. An extremely brave fellow
physically, he looks forlorn as he
walks about the cities of his new
homeland, still strange and unas
similated. Seelig fights A1 Hostak,
the middleweight champion, in
Cleveland next month—if Hostak
really is going to leave Seattle,
which the boys will believe when
they see it.
Seelig doesn't figure to win the
title, but you can t stop Paul Damski
from dreaming. Like all fight maifi
scers, he wants to have a champion
before he dies. Like not so many
managers, he was once a fighter
himself and thinks of his men as
human beings, not slot machines.
Like no other manager I know of,
he speaks nine languages and now
is working night and day on his
tenth and eleventh.
Turkey Day Shift
Ends Grid Ties
By the Associated Press.
Because President Roosevelt ad
vanced the observance of Thanks
giving, f rst downs will decide the
winner of tied games in a Buffalo
(N. Y.) public high school foot
ball league.
League officials adopted the
procedure, they said, to eliminate
playoffs in a scheduled shortened
one w’eek by the President’s No
vember 23 holiday selection.
In case of a tie both in score
and number of first dowms. a
committee of seven will select
winners on the basis of general
performance.
Scoreless Deadlock,
Two Tallies Their
Joint Earnings
Washington-Lee Risks
Clean Slate in Game
With Calvert Hall
Those struggling Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson scholastic football
teams, which have compiled a com
bined record of a scoreless tie and
two touchdowrns in nine games, fear
they still will be searching for their
initial victories of the aging cam
paign when the dust has cleared
from engagements this week.
Artie Boyd, a capable coach who
maneuvered Eastern to its first
football championship in 1937, has
had more than his quota of head
aches in his first year at the helm of
Roosevelt's flatteringly labeled
Rough Riders.
Roosevelt, though, is displaying
improvement. At least, it scored
a touchdown against Tech in its
last game, which is more than it
accomplished in four previous tiffs.
Arties outfit has absorbed five suc
cessive defeats, scoring only 6
points to the opposition’s 105, but
this week the Rough Riders are
nursing fond hopes of crashing the
blue ink side of the ledger by up
setting Anacostia.
If Icn’t RnvH’c Wav
Allowing opposition an average of
three touchdowns isn't Boyd's idea
of entertainment, but with Ana
costia's Art Faircloth, Bill Spencer
and Joe Farmer poised to puncture
the hapless Roosevelt line come
Friday, the outlook isn't rosy.
Wilsons record is slightly less
sour. The Tigers own a scoreless
tie with Landon School and have
been beaten by Eastern, George
town Prep and Anacostia, scoring
their only touchdown in the latter
game. In stacking up against Cen
tral Friday at, Central Stadium they
are staring at almost certain defeat
again.
The high light of the week will be
provided when Eastern, appro
priately leading the eastern divi
sion of the public high series title
scrap, tangles with Western, tied
with Central for the western divi
sion lead, in another series battle
Friday at Eastern Stadium.
Eastern, with two series victories
in as many starts, may step into the
role of spoiler, for a triumph over
Western would mean Western then
would be forced to whip the highly
regarded Central team, providing
Central beats Wilson, of course, even
to tie for the western division title.
Should Western hurdle the East
ern barrier, it is likely the largest
series crowd of the year would con
verge on Central Stadium November
17 to view Western and Central col
lide for the western division crown
and the right to face the eastern
division winner for the series cham
pionship.

Bargain night is listed Thursday
at Turner's Arena where the Golden
Terror, arch villain of the moan and

face two opponents in a double
header. John Katan and Abe Cole
man have been selected as his op
ponents and the Terror promises to
throw both before George King can
determine the square root of 25.
Drumming a 19-gun salute on his
chest a la Tarzan. the Terror de
manded that Turner supply him
with real action this week—this
after dropping a double duke to
Jack Harter in last week's finale.
The nightcap of that twin bill oc
curred in the dressing room, how
ever, and although he emerged a

Terror figured the act was too good
to be screened from the public's
curious eyes.
Turner obligingly booked Katan,
w'ho is a gent of some size, and

This strategy figures to keep the
Terror off balance, for Katan will
attack the Terror s shrouded dome
while Coleman probably will con
fine his efforts to chewing a stray
ankle here and there.
Professor Turner is keeping extra

Golf and skating are close sec

sport among men under 30 years of
age.
“To what extent do men whose
school days are over engage in
sports?” was the subject of the
study. To obtain their facts Dr.
Marshall and Nagle interviewed 259
men whose ages range from 20 to

one-third of the group engages in
sports regularly, one-quarter does
not participate in any sport and 40

Redskins
(Continued From Pape A-13 1
one man ever can be held responsible
for any football team's triumph.
From then on, Sammy's foot earned
as much glory as his arm has m the
past, although his 40-yard average
kicks were bettered by three vards
by Mortell. Baugh's kicking wasn't
entirely perfect, as a partially
blocked punt gave the Eagles the
ball on Washington's 15-yard line
late in the game. But at that junc
ture the Redskin line came through
magnificently with End Johnny Spi
rida climaxing a great perform
ance by rushing Mortell for a 24
yard loss when that young man des
perately tried to get off a game-win
ning pass.
Baugh's quick kicks were some
thing to see. twice placing the ball
within Philadelphia's 10-yard line
and putting the burden squarely on
the Eagles. That they had a reout
tal in Mortell's toe made the game
thrilling. Sammy also played a
whale of a defensive game, backing
up the line in great style and sev
eral times throwing Eagle ball-car
riers for heavy losses.
A 15-yard penalty against the
Redskins for roughing the kicker
paved the way to the Eagles’ lone
score in the second quarter, for
Frank Filchock's 45-yard return of
Mortell's punt was nullified by his
teammates' misdeeds. Given a re
prieve, the Eagles started anew at
midfield and after Joe Carter ap
parently had caught one of Mortell’s
passes in the end zone, only to be
ruled out of bounds, he took an
identical heave on the very next
play for the touchdown. From the
stands it looked as if Filchock should
have prevented the completion.
Murray Blows Big Point.
But Franny Murray failed to
match Bo Russell's conversion and
the game was decided right there.
How great a hold the Redskins
exercise on the Washington public
is seen by the turnout of 20,440 who
braved (and we do mean braved)
the combined elements of rain, wind
and cold. Although it was the Red
skins’ smallest home crowd of the
year, it was just about 20 times as
great as any other game, played
under similiar conditions, would
have attracted locally.
No play of. the game evoked a more
enthusiastic ovation than that over
the announcement that the Giants
finally had been beaten. To a man,
the Redskins continually have ex
pressed confidence that they would
beat out the Giants for the Eastern
title this year, but the fact that they
would, after all. get some help in
accomplishing that feat provided ad
ditional encouragement for their fol
lowers.
The only possible disappointment
of the day was the inability of
OBrien to justify his presence in the
game for more than a quarter. Too
light even to stand or run in the
goo, much less pass, Baugh’s succes
sor at Texas Christian University left
Washington without attempting so
much as one aerial.

Texas Aggies’ Chips
All Are Slaked in

Battle for Title, Bowl
Nod and Undefeated
Season This Week
Bv felix r. Mcknight,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
DALLAS, Nov. 6.—Lustier as the
Saturdays pass, the Texas Aggies
crowd all their hopes for the Rose
Bowl, a Southwest Conference title
and a stainless season into 60
minutes this week end.
The “clutch" moment has arrived.
It's time to play Southern Methodist,
the team hounding them for con
ference honors. The little cross
roads hamlet that is College Station
may have between 25.000 and 30.000
down for its most stupendous attrac
tion in a decade.
averages «« ruuus a name.
The Aggies, coasting, 27-0 winners
over Arkansas last Saturday, bump
a Methodist team which caused
Coach D. X. Bible of Texas to muse
after his rather talented boys had
taken a 10-0 licking:
“If Preston Johnston, the fine
Methodist tailback, could pass, S.
M. U. would have one of the greatest
teams in the Nation.’’
The Aggies carry an average of
22 points a game, but the Methodist
meeting may not be so free-scoring.
The noted Matty Bell defensive
tactics that held Oklahoma to a
7-7 tie and stopped Texas U.’s Cow
boy Jack Crain is something the
Aggies have been dreading.
But it will work both ways. The
massive Cadet line, headed by two
distinct all-America candidates in
Guard Marshall Robnett and Tackle
Joe Boyd, happens to have the
league's best defensive record. It
has allowed only 350 yards on
ground plays—a negligible average
of 50 a game—and only 16 points,
while the Aggies rolled up 153.
Both Have Gifted Kiekers.
Both teams possess magnificent
kicking games. Sophomore Johns
ton, the Methodists’ driving young
ster who stuns railbirds with 70 and
80 yard warmup boots, mocked a
cutting wind during the Texas game
with his 42.6-yard average.
The Aggies, with three splendid
kickers in Sophomore Derace Moser,
Bill Conatser and Jim Thomason,
averaged 41.5 yards against
Arkansas.
The Methodists’ Johnny Clement,
I a rangy junior who whipped Texas
! with his opportune passing, can be
matched. The Aggies have Walemon
Price, Marion Pugh and Mai land
Jeffrey. Some 710 yards of the 1.740
the Cadets have totaled in seven
: games have been gained through
the air.
