Hard Problems of Small Schools Come Into Focus as C U. Returns to Gridiron Loss of Few Players Enough to Wreck Skimpy Squads Tire Angle Serious; La Fond Is Tackling Hydra-Headed Job Catholic University's decision to revive football next autumn, on even a modified basis, brings out in bas relief a few of the problems con fronting small colleges valiantly try ing to carry on with sports programs. Eddie LaFond will double in brass as director of athletics and coach of the eleven, no mean feat in it self. although It can and will be done simply because it must be that way. Most schools have at least a line and backfleld coach, one in charge, or If not at least somebody in the office to lick the stamps, address envelopes and answer telephones. LaFond is a lone wolf in that field and probably will need an extension out to the gridiron to handle the ■phone calls. Problem No. 2 is manpower. Some body has said the draft took an equal toll from all schools, that none will be hit harder than another and that all are in the same boat, etc., etc. It sounds good, but actual ly there will be a huge difference. Remove 11 men from the squads at Penn, Notre Dame or similarly large Institutions and they still can put two or three football teams on the field, but lop off four or five from a squad like Catholic will have and it is a serious matter. Pledged 30 Candidates. LaFond. incidentally, is taking Steps to bring back football at the behest, of the Cardinal undergrad uates and has been pledged sup pert to the extent of at least 30 candidates for the squad, subject, of course, to the draft. He has no guarantee that he'll have even a dozen players by next autumn aftor examinations and other factors take their customary toll. Problem No. 3 has been over looked. generally, because of the emphasis placed on losses in the draft, and that is curtailment of the rubber supply and rationing of auto tires. Small college teams travel in autos, jitneys, buses, hired cars and even on motorcycles. Without tires it will be Impossible to trans port teams great distances, even short distances as frequently as the average schedule requires and while little has been said on this subject, much serious thought has been de voted to it. LaFond Restricts Territory. Catholic's financial woes will be etrictly its own. LaFond intends to restrict the scope of operations to Mason-Dixon Conference territory wherein the majority of teams play on a no-guarantee basis. Catholic will keep all the gate receipts de rived from its home games and pay out nothing in the way of guarantees or traveling expenses. That will be ! satisfactory. At least the school j won't get hurt that way. LaFond also intends to introduce 55-cent football, which is about all it wiU be worth until he gets the Cards back In the groove and on the way up again. The four games listed thus far, Western Maryland. Washington College. American University and Mount St Mary's, can be attractive, in a small way, and that Is the way LaFond wants it. Football will be plaved as a game, not conducted as a business under his plans, which Is commendable—if it doesn't prove to be practical, L. F. A.

Jan. 16.—Willie Hoppe had a hunch he /night lose a match in this year’s world three-cushion billiard chanpionship tournament. But he probably didn’t suspect he was gong to lose to Art Rubin. Neither did Art Rubin. Perhaps that was the story of the upset last night. Hoppe the champion, keyed against a stiff' field of nine opponents, said before the meet opened that his game ap peared good—and he proved it by taking his first two matches. Art Rubin, the Brooklynite, lost his first four, but when it was time to take his bumps from the champ he didn't bump. Rubin’s Spurt Tells. Rubin was relaxed last night. From his earlier poor start it was appar ent he wasn’t going anywhere, and he had nothing to lose. So he didn’t tease up and made off with a slender lead over Hoppe at inter mission. Hoppe caught up soon afterward. But Rubin kept relaxed as he put on a spurt that sewed up the victory in 39 innings. The acore was 60 to 39. Hoppe had been beaten only once In his last 39 matches prior to last right. After sweeping all 20 of the 1940 tournament battles, he repeated for the title last year by winning 18 of 19. The one loss was to Welker Cochran of San Francisco, who A e—-—-• helped make it a doubl. upset last night by dropping his Art.match of the current series to E*rle Looka baugh of Chicago, 50 p 48 in 58 innings. The twin drubbing o' two pre viously undefeated contestants left Joe Chamaco of Mexier City with the only unmarred recori. Chamaco Facet Gtyenleaf. Joe will lay his mark >n the line tonight against Ralph Creenleaf of Monmouth. 111., the wiza d of pocket billiards who has lost tvo matches after two victories. Hoppe will face John Fitzpatrick of Los Angeles in the other evening match. Fitzpatrick defeated Je:e Schaefer of Cleveland yesterday, 50 to 37 in 41 innings, for his seccid tourna ment win. Greenleaf fell before Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia, 50 to 43 in 60 innings. Rubin opposed Arthiu Thumblad of Chicago in today’s opening match, with Schaefer scheduled against Lookabaugh in the second encounter. I Ranking D. C.

Speed Makes Pastor Choice Over Villar In Ring Bout Here Boxing Cleverness Also Appears to Give Bob Decided Advantage Both Claudio Villar. the Spanish slugger, and Bob Pastor, well-known Bronx cyclist, are due in Washing ton tomorrow to wind up training for their 10-round bout at Turner’s Arena, and their last sessions will be open to the public. Prom New York, where he main tains headquarters, Pastor is re ported In great shape and predict ing an easy victory over Villar. Jimmy Johnston, the former foot ball player's pilot, thinks his man Is too fast on his pins and too clever with ids dukes for the Span iard, and he has a good argument with evidence of Pastor’s victory over Buddy Scott here In his favor. Pastor that night was as fast as the average lightweight. Scott was as agile as a marble statue once Bob got under way. Pastor hit him from all angles and with every punch In the book before Scott finally summoned up enough speed for a futile counterthrust. A rep etition of that performance might lead to Villar’s knockout. But Trainer Harry Raskin, who Is handling Claudio, predicts that If there are any knockouts Villar will do the knocking. The Cuban Invader la a puncher, not a boxer, and his fight is planned along lines that mean he'll have to take a cou ple of punches to get one In, and he hopes to make every shot count before winging over the pay-dff punch. Today a year ago—Charles S. Howard’s Kayak II returned to races after four-month layoff and finished second to Augury in allowance race at Arcadia, Calif. Terp Boxing Mentor Disappointed, but Will Stand Pat Substitute for Injured Gilmore Only Change Planned in Line-up Visibly disappointed by Mary land’s stalemate with South Caro lina In its opening boxing match of the season last week, Coach Bobby Goldstein said today he will use the same fighters, with one excep tion, against the Coast Guard Acad emy sluggers at New London, Conn., tomorrow night. The Terps were to leave late this afternoon, arriving early tomorrow morning. Goldstein believes the Terps are better than their 4-4 tie with the Gamecocks Indicates and certainly he is not alone on that score. For one thing opinion in the press box was unanimous that Len Rodman whipped Tom Stevenson in the heavyweight joust although Referee Charley 8hort saw it the other way around. And some believed Pat Quinn did enough damage to merit at least a draw with Harry Lofton, Carolina’s 155-pound conference champion. Terp Coach Critical. “I thought Rodman won,” Gold stein said to*r. “although he didn't make a smart fight and didn't use his right as he should have done. He walked into Stevenson's left hook for two rounds when it shouldn't have touched him. although I think he got in more clean punches than Stevenson and deserved to win any way. He could have knocked that fellow kicking if he'd used his head and boxed him. Rodman is a good boxer and very fast for a heavy weight and he nullified his ad vantage in this respect by wading in.” Maryland seems to be well fixed at all other weights for future en gagements with the lone exception of the 165-pound berth manned last week by Jack Gilmore. A cut eye sent Jack down to defeat, adding another link to the chain of tough breaks he s experienced in sports at Maryland, and hell give way to Harry Fisher against the Coast Guard. Fisher, a soph from Central High School, whipped Lloyd Page in a test for the spot. Lincoln Should Improve. Judson Lincoln, stubby 127 pounder, should Improve as the sea son goes along but if he catches more opponents who slug as hard as Kay Kirven did last week the former St. John's youngster may be a long time breaking Into the win column. Jud's arms are too short to permit much boxing and Goldstein has elected to make a slugger out of him because of his terrific hit ting. But against Kirven he en countered a lad who hit Just as hard and had the advantage of a long reach and the combination was too' much to overcome. Herb Gunther, conference 175 pound champion; "Hotsv" Alper steln, crack 145-pounder; Tom Jones, rookie southpaw lightweight, and Johnny Cicala, 120-pounder, seem headed for successful cam paigns and the coach expects them to bring home the bacon this week and go on an extended winning streak from there.

Nelson Battles California Jinx In Pacing Oakland Open Golf Toledo Ace Never Has Won Meet on Coast; Hogan, Three Others, Stroke Off Lead By RUSSELL NEWLAND, A»*oei»tfd Prcu Sport* Writer. OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 16.—Ten years a contender and never a winner, Byron Nelson battled par and a California winter golf tournament jinx today as he teed off leading the field in the sec ond round of the $5,000 72-hole Oakland Open championship. The big boy from Toledo, Ohio, who has won United States Open and P. G. A. titles during his sparkling career, started the second 18 with a stroke advantages He led the opening round with a 3-under par 67 for the Sequoyah Course. The former Texas caddy, iron club stylist and possessor of every shot in the bag set the pace for a formid able field, but whether he could maintain it was another question. In i nine other California appearances along the golden trail of golf Nel son's star flickered at times but in variably faded. This may be the year he beats the jinx—he hopes so, and a lot of backers think he will. Misses Only Two Shots. Nelson made only two mistakes in his opening round. One was an overly strong chip shot on the eleventh. He banged his ball over the green on the fourteenth. He bogeyed each hole. Otherwise hej bagged five birdies and appeared in the championship form that saw him win the National Open title in 1939 and come back a year later to take the exclusive P. G. A. crown. The tournament favorite. Ben Ho gan, and three others trailed Nelson with 68* Hogan shared the spot with Mike De Massey of Motto ! Bay. Bill Nary of Del Mar and Law son Little, San Francisco. Little, one-time bigwig of the ama teurs and now playing for the cash prizes, was a definite contender. The other two Californians were of the dark horse variety. Most topnotchers in the field of more than 100 were well up with the pace, excepting such notables as Dick Metz, Jimmy Thomson and Veteran Horton Smith. Metz mud dled through his first round for a 72. and Thomson and Smith bun gled out 76s. Thomson nursed an injured hand. Dozen Better Par. Defending Champion Leonard Dodson of Kansas City. Mo . was clustered with six others in the par 70 division. An even dozen player* bettered par in the opening round. The 69-shoot ers included Joe Mozel. Portland, Oreg.; John Dawson, amateur, Hol lywood: John Revolta. Chicago; Tony Penna. Dayton, Ohio; Llord Mangrum. Monterey Park, Calif ; Paul Runyan, Rumsen, N. J„ and Denny Shute, Chicago. Hockey Eagles at Top Strength for Clash With Fast Rovers Season's First Win Here Over New York Club Is Goal Tonight At full strength for the first time in two weeks, the Washington Eagles will go after their first victory over the New York Rovers on home ice this season when they play host in an Eastern Amateur Hockey League game at Riverside Stadium at 8:30 o'clock tonight. The Eagles have beaten the Rovers twice in seven games during the cur rent campaign, but both of the tri umphs came at New York. Paul Courteau. the Eagle*’ flying center and leading scorer, returns to the firing line after a 10-day absence occasioned by twisted tendons in his left leg. Also on the job will be Tommy McCormack, hurt in the last game with the Rovers when he col lided with Alex Sandalack, but who returned to action Tuesday night against Atlantic City. Both of the Rovers’ victories at Riverside this year have come by 3-2 scores, but in the event the Eagles reverse matters, they will be able to show a winning percentage. At present, their record stands at an even .500 with seven victories against as many defeats and three ties. They won their last two times out. Coach Redvers Mackenzie refuses to concede the championship to the Boston Olympics, currently leading his Eagles by 13 points and empha sized today that his team still is in the running. He pointed out that the Rovers enjoyed an even larger ^ead at the corresponding stage of the 1939-'40 season, only to lose out to the Baltimore Oriole*. Six of the league's scoring leader* will be on display tonight. But in contrast to the Eagles’ lone Courteau, five of them are Rovers—Hubert Macev. Bill Robinson, Gil Nordin. Lewis Medynkl and Bob Kirkpatrick. Three years ago—Pirates re leased R«i Lucas, 37-vear-old veteran of 15 years in National League. Dick Metz beat Dutch Harrison by one stroke in play off for Oakland Open golf title. Tennis Lid Is Lifted So Fans at Miami May Cheer, Boo Hush-Hush Game Wrong, Mulloy Says; Sabin Is Crowd's First Victim Bp th* Aitoeiited Prm CORAL GABLES, Fla , Jan 16 - Spectators at the University of Miami tournament, in which some of the country's best are playing, had an invitation today to ignore the game s huah-hush tradition and cheer or boo to their hearts' content. Gardner Mulloy, promoter of the event and the second-seeded player, said the galleries would be told that they need not be bound by the long time custom of holding their tongues while the ball is in play. "We think the change will stimu late Interest among the fans," Mulloy declared. "After all. there's no reason why a tennis gallery’ shouldn't act like a baseball or a boxing crowd. “Tennis long has been a hushed, quiet game. The tradition dates back to the time when tournaments were held behind locked gates and a newspaperman couldn't get in. "There's no reason for it to b« like that.” Mulloy, a veteran campaigner who ranks seventh in the Nation, said the players “will get used to the noise." “It may bother them somewhat," he added, “bat it'll worry- one aa much as the other. "Of course, the player who's losing may want to use the clatter as an excuse ’’ Spectator*, many of them stu dent*. jumped toe gun on the new policy yesterday while Billy Gillespie —a member of the university's ten nis team—was forcing first-seeded Wayne Sabin of Reno, Nev., to ex tend himself to pull out a close quarter-finals victory. Disgusted when a shot went wrong. Sabin threw his racket out of the stadium—and became the target for cat-calls and jeers. Five years ago—Bryan <Bit*yi Grant beat Budge. 4—6. 6—3, 6—3. 3—6. 6—3, in Dixie tourna ment finals.
