Capital Sends Host to Root for Redskins in Critical Battle With Dodgers

From the
Press Box
Four Missouri Madcaps
Seek to Rout N. Y. U.
By JOHN LARDNER.
NEW YORK. Nov. 11 (N.A.N.A.).—
The Maplewood, Mo., Follies—a foot
ball act composed of Paul Christ
man, passer and interlocutor; the
Orf boys, endmen, and William Cun
ningham, straight man—will play a
quick date in New York today for the
benefit of Missouri University.
The four boys from Maplewood,
Mo., have been playing benefits for
Missouri all season, with great suc
cess. Aside from the curtain raiser—
when Ohio State, not having heard
of the four Maplewood madcaps,
treated them like four other guys—
the team is undefeated. They will
endeavor to remain so this week end
aeainst another fine ball club, New
York University, in what appears as
the best football game in the East
Last week. Missouri took and
smeared Nebraska's escutcheon.
That's a good trick. As I understand
it. the four boys from Maplewood
were chiefly responsible. Mr. Christ
man, the passer, threw touchdown
passes all day long to various fellows
named Orf, while Mr. Cunningham,
straight man rpliPVpH him frnm
deleterious effects of city life.
“So today in New York.” he an
nounced, “I will go out and pass
then N. Y. U.’s clean out of the
Stadium.”
This play may be varied with a
naked reverse to the left or a quick
kick.
In another play. X-12, which

Christman’s nass. The one on the
ri^ht is still Roland, and the ore on
the left never has been identified,
except that he looks to be every
Inch an Orf.
Christman to Sift Matter
If He Becomes Sheriff
My scouts could not make out
what Cunningham was doing on
this play. Neither could Nebraska.
Suffice it to say that he was up to
no good, and that Christman has
promised, if elected sheriff, to get to
the bottom of the matter.
Christman, the orator, also is a
passer of considerable accuracy. Ru
mor has it that he trains his eye by
trap-shooting in practice. A stoog
hurls a ball in the air, and the
silent Dane, standing some 30 or 40
yards away, shoots at it with a ball
of his own, as long as pigs are in
season. He has brought down doz
ens of footballs in this manner, the
largest of which was stuffed and
hung over the fireplace in his tro
phv room.
Coach Mai Stevens of N. Y. U.,
W'hen informed of these develop
ments by his own scouts and mine,
declared that he would fight fire
with fire. This is a d-d obscure
remark, and you know as much
about Stevens’s plans as I do. It
ought to be quite a ball game.

Eastern Crown
Struggle Between Bears
And Lions May Bring
Western Deadlock
By BILL DISMER, Jr.
Preceded by an advance guard
estimated in the hundreds and cog
nizant that a thousand or more will
follow with the 100-piece Indian
bedecked band, the Redskins were
scheduled to leave town late this
afternoon for one of the two most
crucial games in the National Foot
ball League tomorrow.
With more vocal support assured
than at any out-of-town game with
the exception of that at New York,
the Redskins will face a rejuvenated
Brooklyn team still nursing the be
lief that it stands a chance for
Eastern championship honors.
Although the Dodgers' record
shows three defeats, all have come
at the hands of powerful foes—the
Giants, Detroit Lions and Red
skins. If they can atone for that
41-13 walloping handed them by the
Redskins at Griffith Stadium last
month and lick the Giants (who
aeieaiea mem oniy 1-01 in meir re
turn game on November 26, Ace
Parker & Co. really will be in the
running again.
The dope, however, calls for the
Eastern division still to be co-led
after tomorrow's game by the Red
skins and Giants, who should hand
the Chicago Cardinals their eighth
defeat in nine games.
Tie Also Looms in West.
Out West, though, the situation may
be tied up tighter than a drum after
the important Chicago Bear-Detroit
Lion game at Detroit. If the Bears,
as Redskin Coach Ray Flaherty has
predicted, upset the once-beaten
Lions, the Western Division also will
have a pair of co-leaders, for the
Green Bay Packers’ prospective vic
tory over the Philadelphia Eagles
will leave them with the same re
cord as the Lions. And the Bears,
by such a win, would be only a
game behind.

Parker's Aerial Game Primed.
New York weather reports indi
cated it would rain today, but be
clear and warmer tomorrow. If such
proves true, look for another aerial
display with Ace Parker doing more
skyrocketing than all the Redskin
passers combined.
For in their game here, the
Dodgers appeared threatening only
when Parker fired the ball through
the ozone, but what a threat That
was! And with a fine end like Perry
Schwartz ready to snag 'em, its
been no come-on that the Brooklyn
fans have been sold on the idea that
their team stands a chance of turn
ing the tables on the Redskins.
Statistics, however, all are in favor
of the Redskins, who, despite the
fact they have played one less game
than the Dodgers, have completed
more passes for more yardage, out
rushed them by more than 400 yards
and granted the opposition some
700 yards less ground. And the
Redskins’ 134 points in seven games
gives them an average of 19 a game,
compared to the Dodgers’ 101 in
eight, or an average of 13.
Turtipr anH Tnctiro ¥ off# nakinil
It isn't exactly a 100 per cent
physically perfect Redskin team
that encounters the Dodgers, but,
barring additional breaks against it,
one that should return a winner.
That Redskin line should turn the
tide in favor of the Washingtons,
while Halfback Keith Berlim. only
three days ago obtained from the
Chicago Cardinals, is said to have
caught on to the Redskins' system
sufficiently to be entrusted with
some blocking duties. It's only in
blockers that the Redskins are de
ficient. but Erny Pinckert, Red Mor
gan, Jimmy Johnston. Johnny Spi
rida and Berlim are ready to divide
the burden in that department.
Andy Farkas and Wilbur Moore
have recovered from injuries re
ceived last Sunday and will be able
to play their customary game, but
Jay Turner and Ed Justice were to
be left at home in an effort to have
them fit for the Chicago Cardinals
a week hence.

Vo/s, Pressed to Go'Bigtime/
Consider Evil of Grid Tail
Wagging School's Dog
By DON WHITEHEAD, | ii
Associated Press Sports Writer.
KNOXVILLE. Term.. Nov. ll.—The j f
University of Tennessee stands today j i>
on the outskirts of that phase of t
modern education known as “big- ; s
time football.’’ and ahead lie the j t
pitfalls of overemphasis which have ;
been avoided successfully in the past, j ^
It’s no new story when the foot- s
ball tail wags the educational dog, f
but it is interesting to see a school L
approaching the point where it must s
decide just how important football
is to be in the scheme of things. j
For two years now Tennessee has j c
been ranked among the Nation’s top ; e
gridiron powers, a sensational rise,’t
attributed largely to the coaching t
genius of Maj. Robert Reese Ney
land, ex-Army engineer.
The foes of Tennessee have been j"
mostly Southern teams of equal
rank, but schedules have been sprin- £
kled liberally with the little fellows.
However, there is a growing clamor
from the public for Tennessee to
schedule the strongest Eastern and
Northern teams possible and to step r
ito the big time with banners flying.
Knoxville people like major league
jotball. It brings droves of people
ito the city on week ends to jam
le hotels and restaurants, a free
sending throng that leaves behind
lousands of dollars.
Maj. Neyland is the ringmaster of
aese week end circuses.'and on his
noulders rests the burden of satis
ring the public without letting the
niversity become an annex to the
:adium.
President James D. Hoskins and
faj. Neyland have defended the so
ailed "powder puff" schedules as
ntirely adequate in providing en
•rtainment for the puublic and for
he physical welfare of the players.
But that has not satisfied the
ritics, who vision Tennessee teams
n intersectional junkets, vying an
ually for the national champion
hip.
Much Is up to Neyland.
Much of the responsibility for
laintaining an even balance rests
n Maj. Neyland. who is athletic
irector as well as head football
oach.
Taking over a mediocre squad 13
ears ago, when transferred here
rom West Point for R. O. T. C. duty,
leyland immediately clicked as a
oach. In seven straight years his
earns lost only two games, while the
ther five seasons were marred onty
y tie games.
Last year he produced an unbeat
n and untied team, to win the
loutheastern Conference champion
hip. and experts believe this year's
utfit is even stronger.
He became so engrossed in coach
ig after the 1935 season he resigned
rom the Army and signed a five
ear contract with the university
t a reported salary of $12,000.
After his great season last year
he university extended his contract
Ive years, with his salary report
dlv upped to $15,000.
Despite the growing popularity ol
Jeyland teams the university anc
he Athletic Association did not
ump overboard to build a huge bow

However, many Tennessee fans an

heir favorite team play when £

Neyland said after the Alabamf

ost and a jolt to the university':

Thus to a large degree the publii
las placed Neyland in the pre.
;arious position of making his owi
iob harder, a situation that is no
without precedent in modern foot'
jail with its tremenous gate receipts
Should Neyland’s team get thi

will be placed squarely in the cente:

Christman Talks Like Dizzy,
Throws in Old Dean Style
Mr. Christman, as spokesman,
called the turn beforehand. “When
the whistle blows," announced this
bashful Scandinavian, who talks like
Dizzy Dean and throws the way Diz
used to throw. “I will go out and pass
them Nebraskas clean out of the
stadium.
He did so, with the co-operation of
the assorted Orfs and Cunningham.
These four Johnny-come-latelys
have played together since they were
knee-high to a mule. They played
for Maplewood High School and
shifted to Missouri en masse. The
Orf boys, Robert and Roland, are
Identical twins. Christman is an
identical Dane, and Cunningham is
en identical fullback.
New York University has scouted
Missouri, but nothing like so thor
oughly as your correspondent's own
private scouts have done. According
to information which has just
reached me, the Tigers' best scoring
play is B-77, which runs as follows:
Christman, in the tailback spot,
makes a brief political speech
through a megaphone. When the
ball is snapped, he discards the
mesraphone. shakes hands with him
self. and passes to Robert Orf, on
the right.
Orf Is Enabled to Score
During Expose of Mole
Robert Orf takes the pass and
goes straight down the field for 10
yards, where he turns out to be Ro
land Orf. Meanw'hile, Roland Oif
has the ball on the left and is mak
ing good yardage, for an Orf. At
the crucitfl moment, Cunningham
calls the opposing team off to one
Bide and explains that Roland Orf
has a mole on his left shoulder.
Mr. Orf removes his shoulder pads
to prove this statement. Robert Orf
crosses the goal line for a touch
down and casts a vote for Christ
man for Governor before the enemy
safety back can catch him.
In the meantime, Christman has
thanked the voters for their confi

es Big Hank awaits developments
on rumored baseball matters rang
ing from a salary cut to a trade
sending him from Detroit to Wash
ington.
“All I know so far,” Hankus
Pankus explained today, “is what I
read, in the papers. One story says
that I'm going to be traded to Wash
ington. Another says that if I’m not
traded, I'm going to have my salary
cut by the Tigers anyway.
“Well, the club hasn't told me a
thing about either move yet, so I’m
t
sitting tight until I find out what's
what.
“About a salary cut—well. I
haven't thought about it. I may not
have had such a good year in '39 as
the season before, but don't forget
the whole club was below par. And
a player can’t play top-notch ball a
whole season, if the rest of the club
is floundering.”
The '39 Greenberg record isn’t
anything to make him hide his head.
He wound up with a batting average
of .312. only three points off his hot
'38 mark. He hit 33 homers, second
only to Jimmy Foxx. And he drove
in 113 runs. Although that doesn’t
come close to the 146 he knocked

remember he was out three weeks In

CHICAGO, Nov. 11—Doleful Bernle
Bierman and his once-mighty
Minnesota Gophers have fallen on
sad days for the first time in several
days.
The Gophers rank ninth in the
Western Conference standings at the
present reading with only the under
dog's chance of improving on that
ranking today when they play
Michigan.
Yet to Win Conference Game.
Biermans defending champions,
who won three conference cham
pionships and tied for another one
in the last five years, are still with
out a Big Ten victory as the cam
paign moves into mid-November.
The Gophers’ only victory of the
season came in the opener, a 62-to-0
romp over Arizona.
Since then Bierman's face has be
come longer and longer. Nebraska
slipped up on the Gophers and won,
6-0. Then Minnesota braced and

And every exhibitor is watching

time a horse comes into the ring at
the Garden and the stall rent in
the basement is $20 a horse. It costs
hundreds of dollars to ship a stable
to the show and even braiding a
horse's mane costs $3.50.

From North Carolina comes word :
that Helen Dettweiler, the likeable
blond girl who learned the game of
golf under A1 Treder at Manor,
transferred to Congressional and '
won all the major titles in this neck
of the woods before turning profes
sional. is wowing them with her
charm and her good golf game,
which hardly is news around Wash
ington, where Helen has a host of
friends and a legion of admirers.
Helen will leave shortly for Miami,
where she will spend the winter
doing her stuff in exhibition matches
and in golf demonstrations around
the winter capital of Florida.
Helen happens to be one of our
favorite people. Unassuming, mod
est. and as likeable in defeat as she
is gracious in victory, she stands out
among feminine golfers. Not all of
them have those qualities, no more
than universally good sportsmanship
is confined to men. Or that all men
are good losers and god sportsmen.
Helen was a natural to be a big sue
cess as a proiessionai goner, in a
field new to women.
One of the officials of the company
for which she works said a few days
ago: “Helen has turned out to be one
of the most valuable members of our
staff. Her personality, her willing
ness to work, and her ability have
endeared her to every one. We were
very fortunate to get her.”
Clubs to Be Named for Her.
Now comes further word of Helen’s
success as a golf pro. She is to be
honored by having golf clubs made
and stamped with her name. The
new line will be out next spring. It's
unusual in that in past years it has
been the custom only to make clubs
stamped with personal names only
after the person so honored had won
major championship.
Helen has not won a national
affair, but she now holds a title com
parable to a national. She is the
Western women's "open” champion.
Mrs. Marvin Jonnston is the new
women’s golf chairman at Congres
sional. Mrs. Johnston, chosen yes
terday by the women of the Con
gressional Country Club to succeed
Mrs. Verne P. Simmons, takes office
at once. With her into offiee go
the following: Vice cheirmen, Mrs.
Pat J. Winkler and Miss Frances
Folger: Mrs. Sylvia Orr, secretary;
Mrs. Houston Harper, treasurer.
The women of the club wound up
their links season with a turkey
tourney in which Mrs. J. J. Mc
Carthy won the gross prize—and a
turkey—with a 93. Others in the
winning list were Mrs. Herman Har
rigan, Mrs. Arnold McNitt, Mrs.

But then Ohio State's big and
powerful machine rolled over the
1938 champs, 23 to 20, and North
western, coming along fast after a
slow start, cut them down, 14 to 7.
In their last four games the Gophers
have scored 40 points to 56 for the
opposition.
And the future looks no brighter
than the past with Michigan, Iowa
and Wisconsin ahead. Bierman has
the backfleld talent, headed by Har

Michigan Is Vengeful.
It was no secret that the Gophers
were laying elaborate plans to upset
Michigan if the Wolverines got to
tomorrow’s game undefeated. But
the Illinois reversal upset Bierman’s
plans. Now his eleven will be forced
to play an inflamed outfit deter
mined to make amends for its stun

Michigan figures to bounce back

yonder what Ralph S. Fowler, whc
will preside as Golf Committee
thairman, will do when they hanc
jut the prizes won during the clul
title tourney. Ralph, you see, is the
:lub champion. He won the title
for the third time last May.
Women's tourneys—the big ones
it least—apparently are over foi
this year. Last year around this
time there were two big events helc
it the Washington and Army Navj
Slubs, but this year there has beer
ao announcement of similar events
rhe weather is getting too uncertair
30w to schedule further golf affairs
so it means there won’t be any more
Dig ones coming up until next spring
But if they don't play anothei
Dne this year the women will hav<
rad their share of golf. Never have
:he tournaments been so well pa
tronized and so popular as they were
this year. .
Washington-Lee, Calvert Hall
Game Features Schoolboy
Card; London Bows
Following yesterday’s hectic high
school football games the schoolboys’
program today was to feature the
Washington-Lee encounter with
Calvert Hall of Baltimore at Ball
ston starting at 2:30 with the
George Washington High team of
Alexandria attracting long-distance
interest in a game against the E. C.
Glass School at Lynchburg, Va.
Champions of this vicinity, Wash
ington-Lee will be seeking its eighth
straight triumph of the season
aganst the Maryland eleven. Re
garded as just a good team when
the season started, the Little Gen
erals have exceeded the fondest
hopes of their followers, whipping
six District teams in succession
while scoring 128 points to the
opponents’ 27. Included among the
victims were such sturdy teams as
Central, Western, Eastern and Gon
zaga.
Johnnies Meet Purple.
Tomorrow one of the feature at
tractions of the year will bring to
gether St. John's and Gonzaga.
Backed by years of tradition this
game, scheduled for Griffith Sta
dium at 2:30, will mark the 20th
meeting between the schools. This
year, as usual, finds neither eleven
having any marked-superiority and
both will enter the fray minus the
services of at least one crack player.
St. John’s has three members on
the injured list, Ed Fogarty, end;
Frank Cady, halfback, and Fibber
McKee, center. Of these Fogarty,
who hurt an arm in the Central
game, is the least likely to play.
There is a chance that the other two
will play part time.
Gonzaga, which bowed last year
after nine straight triumphs, defi
nitely will be minus the services of
Lane O’Donnell, giant tackle, who
injured a leg In the Western tilt
last week.
As expected, the Landon-St. Al
bans game at the latter’s field yes
terday proved a hard-fought, low
score affair, finally ending 2 to 0
in favor of St. Albans. A safety in
the first quarter provided the lone
score, and after that only Landon
was able to seriously threaten.
Le Fevre’s Kicking a Factor.
In the opening quarter Bob Le
Fevre, Saints’ fullback, kicked out
of bounds on the Landon 1-vard
line. John Amussen, Landon field
general, called for a running play
instead of the usual punt, and Ben
McKelway, fullback, was stopped be
hind his goal line while attempting
to carry the ball out of danger,
giving St. Albans 2 points. McKel
way injured a shoulder in the third
quarter and was forced to retire.
Landon came within a yard of
pulling the game out of the fire in
the closing minutes of play, but
after moving downfield 60 yards,
Johnny Sager was stopped on a
line plunge. Sager had aided the
drive with several sharp passes to
Paul Baker.

A Dog's Life
By R. R. TAYNTON.
The first puppy match held in this vicinity in over a year was ft
decided success. In spite of the deluge last Saturday, the Old Dominion
Kennel Club had an entry of about 15G pure bred pups which went
through their paces for a bunch of amateur judges before a crowd of
several hundred people. George Berner, president of the club, picked as
the best specimens two terriers, a Scotty and a Welshman. Many breeds
coirmeted. includine such unusual -
ones as boxers, and old English
sheepdogs.
German civilians owning dogs of
such breeds as shepherds, airedales,
boxers and others suitable for mes
senger work in the army have been
ordered to report their possession to
the proper officials. These dogs are
to be drafted, according to reports.
Repercussions about the new
American Kennel Club ruling re
quiring the payment of a separate
fee for obedience test trials when
held in conjunction with an all
breed show are being heard. It is
claimed, with some justice, that
obedience test trials are a large
drawing card for dog shows, that
they should be encouraged rather
than penalized. These tests have
proved to a large number of scof
fers that pure-bred dogs have brains
as well as beauty, a fact that often
has been called in doubt.
Entries for the Harrisburg dog
show close next Saturday. This
show, scheduled for November 18, in
the Pennsylvania State Farm Show
Building, is one of the most attrac
tive of the medium-sized shows.
Every effort is made to make the
exhibitor comfortable, the premium
list is a generous one, and the slate
of judges is adequate. Dr. Gichner
and Bill Tuten, both of Baltimore
and both well known in local doggy
circles, are judging obedience classes
md bulldogs, respectively.
The Field Dog Stud Book re
ports a total registration of 1,141
logs for the month of October. As
jsual, pointers lead with 492, Eng
lish setters are second with 477, and
Irish setters are a weak third with
)6 entries. Two collies and one
Samoyede make their appearance in
this month's list, leading the in
locent bystander to wonder what
sort of game these dogs are
trained on.
