Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago
Cardinals will open the National
League's football season here to

tory-hungry Steelers this year. He

cago, returning to football after a
three-year stint in a business role
with the St. Louis Browns baseball
club. Is expected to employ a T
formation with emphasis on an
aerial attack.

Bullet Bill Dudley of Pittsburgh and
Marshall Goldberg of Chicago, once
a star pupil of Sutherland at Pitt.

games this year.

Phils Smash Slew
Of Gate Records
ly th« Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.—
. The Philadelphia Phillies are
over the million mark for paid
home admissions today for the
first time in history.
The paid attendance of 40.007
at last night's game with Cin
cinnati. a new Shibe Park record,
gave the Phils a total of 1,023.460
paid home admissions for the
season.
The Phils also smashed all 1
single game attendance- records
here, smashed all double-header
attendance records here, gave
the city its first season of a mil
lion paid admissions in either
the National or American Leagues
and turned away a crowd,
estimated by police, at more than
20.000.
The millionth fan to pass
through the turnstiles—Chappie
Lewis—received a brand-new
automobile.
Out-of-Town Elevens
Test Ramblers, Colts
A line on two of the teams ex
pected to be among the strongest in
the District high school football title
race which starts next week will
be given in out-of-town contests to
night when Eastern, defending
champion and winner of 22 straight,
travels to York (PaJ High, and
Coolidge, suspected of having come'
up with a real contender, plays at
Parkersburg (W. Va.» High.
Off its showing in preseason prac-1
tices Coolidge is rated as Eastern's
strongest challenger for Eastern Di
vision honors in the city series, and I
should it make a respectable show
ing against the tough Parkersburg}
eleven, a powerhouse among school
boy teams in West Virginia, its
standing will be further enhanced.
Another Eastern Division eleven,
Tech, had an afternoon encounter
listed against Chamberlain today,
and was favored to win by several
touchdowns. Also a big favorite is
Washington-Lee High, host this aft
ernoon to Fairfax in a Virginia
Class A League encounter. Tonight's
game between Georgetowm Prep and
Mount Vernon at George Washing
ton High Stadium. Alexandria, is
rated a tossup. Starting time is 8
o'clock.
Only action here tomorrow after
noon has Calvert Hall of Baltimore
and St. John's playing at Catholic
U. Stadium while Western travels
to Richmond against St. Christopher
and Wilson plays at Staunton Mili
tary Academy.

Victory for Redskins
Seen if They Shackle
Bears' Kavanaugh
By Lewis F. Atchison
Bear steak with Halas sauce will
be served at the Redskin wigwam
Monday—maybe. It air depends on
whether the Tribe can stop Ken
Kavanaugh in Sunday's shootin'
session at Baltimore, says Line
Coach Herman Ball. Ball has tailed
the Bears as diligently as a corre
spondence school flatfoot for years
and is rated one of the National
Football League's top scouts.
As for that report about the Bears
being four deep in every position,
hah. forget it. They're only three
deep in 10 positions. “Moon” Mul
lins got himself sold after the ex
hibition game at Akron, leaving only
Ray McLean and Dante Magnani at
left half. True, the Bears still have
such characters as George McAfee.
Hugh Gallerneau, Sid Luckman and
Pa" Perkins, but Ball stubbornly
insists the Skins can tie 'em in a
sack and toss 'em over the left shoul
der if they put the skids under Kav
anaugh.
Kavanaugh is the long distance
operator In the Bears' passing game.
Ball says he resembles a cross be
tween a trtiant trapeze performer
and the Washington Monument
when he grabs onto a pass. You al
most need a stepladder to stop him
and even then he'll get nine out of
10 throws. It makes no difference
who is draped around his neck, arms
or shoulders, he gets the ball.
‘‘He makes you feel that even if
your man does intercept the pass
you've got to match Kavanaugh for
the ball before you can have it,"
says Ball.
For short throws, the Bears are
using George Wilson. Five yards
down the field, two steps over and—
zingo, it's Luckman to Wilson again.
This is a common Bear habit, but
they need at least 10 of these passes
to score, whereas one to Kava
naugh will put six points on the
board. Luckman is throwing with
all his prewar skill, according to
Ball and isn't lugging an extra
tummv on the field with him.
