576 Schoolboys Open Drills; Tech Rated As Team to Watch By George Huber High school football coaches are putting the finger on Tech as the team to watch this year. Practice opened only yesterday, however, and nobody yet knows much about what •he eight teams will be like. It’s always nice to have one of the other fellow’s teams as favorite, so Ed Solomon's Maroons are being built up by his fellow coaches for this pressure spot. There were 576 boys turning out for the first day yesterday, and with additions expected all this week the figure should rise to around 600. Most coaches were surprised by the overall size of most of their candi dates. There are some exceptions to this, though. Gil Conn, coach of the Coolidge team which for two years has taken the title, figures he’ll have his lightest team, and the same goes for Coach Dick Mentzer at Eastern. Solomon at Tech admits to some hefty candidates in his turnout of 70 boys, but he’s afraid a lot of it’s fat. A week of heavy work, he fig ures. will get them down to skin and bones and about 150 pounds each. Solly does have eight veterans from last year’s runnerup eleven, which is one reason the other coaches are putting the finger on him. He ap pears in good shape in the back field, with Bob (Bugs) Thompson. Cece Gray and Flea Fletcher on hand. - He's particularly looking for new tackles, plus reserves in all posi tions. 7U iurn «7ui ai cooiiojr. Coolidge’s champs also attracted a turnout of 70. Coach Conn figures on building an almost en tirely new team around Bobby Rohi in the backfleld and Ralph Schaffer and Charles-Ackerman in the line On the weight question, Ackerman was a big disappointment. He was a 200-pound tackle last year, and at that weight was good and fast Now he's down to 175. Chris Valanos, center last year, has a chipped bone in his ankle as the result of a baseball injury and as yet hasn’t an okay to play from his doctor. Expected back but now missing are Tex Jones and Randall Wood yard. Tex is transferring to Wood ward School and Wood.vard move* to Parkersburg, W. Va. If he makes the high school team there he’ll be playing against his old mates in a game late this season. Largest turnouts were at Wilson and Eastern, attracting 85 and 80 respectively. Wilson’s Tigers ap pear willing and ready, but Coach Joe Carlo is displeased with theii apparent lack of condition. He figures they need rough work and is afraid that when they get it the size of the squad, both individually and numerically, will shrink. Besi of his vets appear to be Bill Voigt and Julian Self in the backfleld and Center Ed Frager. Pat O’Neill, an other very fancy back, wasn’t or hand yesterday, but is expected to day or tomorrow. Coach Mentzer at Eastern may have weight in the tackles, but over all the team appears light, especially in the backfleld. Bob Hackney at center is the only really experienced lineman, while returning regulars ir the backfleld are Ed Smith and Sa’ Di Giorgi. Mentzer’s biggest prob lem will be to find high-caliber end! to replace the two really good boy: Vo Viorl lacf VAOr 64 Report at Roosevelt. Coach Phil Fox at Roosevelt had one of the smallest turnouts with 64 but the boys have much more spirit than usual with the Rough Riders and already are talking of a success ful season. Roosevelt should be good in the middle of the line, with 175 pound Bill Boyer at center and with Lew Valos. 188 pounds, and Bit O'Regan, 190. flanking him at guards Returning backs are Jerry Rothkin Carl Ruble. Aristotle Bacas and Bernie Mead. Western's Fred Mulvey greeted 7( candidates, most of them larger thar usual. Jack Leadbetter, Georg! Holmes and Bob Glasgow are hi! experienced backs, and retuminf linemen are Don Strain and Norn Wacker. Mulvey needs particular^ to bolster his line, and is looking foi a good end, tackle and guard. There were 7t reporting to Coact Jan Jankowski at Central, an excel lent turnout for the Hilltop school which is shrinking in enrollment Sixteen of them were holdovers fron 1946, although all weren't regulars. The Anacostia turnout was 60, and some size was evident here also Coach Zuzu Stewart needs replace ments in all positions, however, a! his only returning regulars are Bol Allwine, Speedy Kent and Buci T)ivnn Horse Show to Be Held On Sept. 14 at Suitland A horse show, sponsored by th< Mount Calvary Catholic Church Forestville, will be held at the farn of James B, Bland, Suitland, Md. Sunday, September 14. This was announced yesterday b; J. M. Magill of Suitland, prograir chairman for the all-day event which is scheduled to get under waj at 9 a.m. w’ith the judging of th< pony classes. Feller Talks Tour With Mexicans ly th« Assoc!.t«d Pros* CLEVELAND. Sept. 3.—Bob Feller talked with Mexican base ball officials today about extend ing his barnstorming tour south of the border, but he said no | decision was reached. Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler will be consulted, said the Indians' ace pitcher, before anything is done about it. Switching to a more positive subject. Bob said he got a bonus check from Tribe President Bill Veeck today, and he didn't look : unhappy about that. “It was a very satisfactory one,” he beamed. “I think I'll : stick around a while.” Amended Veeck: “The check makes Bob by far the all-time highest-paid pitcher in baseball.” ! . ■ . OH mtm Baltimore learn lops Thrifty Beverage at Philadelphia, 2-1 By th« Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.—The Trenton Democratic Club of Balti more, Maryland State champion, advanced to the second round of the' Central Atlantic regional softball tournament today with a 2-to-l vic tory over the Thrifty Beverage team of Washington. A walk, two bad throws, an error and a single gave the Baltimore team all its runs in the third inning. Kavakos Grill of Washington was slated to clash with the Richmond (Va.) Dairy nine today after getting by the first-round play with a 12-2 win over the Philadelphia Roxies yesterday. Takoma Deco rators, Washington's girls cham pions. also advanced with an 8-1 decision over the Cummins girls of Baltimore. Jack Smith was the sparkplug of the Kavakos team, pitching two hit ball and fanning 12. An eight run attack in the final frame gave the Washington team its heavy j margin. Jerry Fiorello, who took over the pitching duty for the Decorators after the Baltimore girls scored their lone run in the first inning, hurled no-hit ball for the remaining distance. Frankie Witt, Peggy Porch and Erma Black led the hitting with doubles. Garibaldi-Morgan Match Tops Rassle Show Tonight A pair of seasoned wrestlers—Gino Garibaldi of St. Louis and Big Ben Morgan, 6-foot-6 340-pound Texan— ; will headline tonight’s wrestling (show at Turner’s Arena. Gino will be spotting Big Ben about 100 pounds as well as a lot of height for their one-hour time limit match.

Billy Darnell and Stu Hart will oppose Joe Montana and Red Ryan in the two-man bout, while opening the show at 8:45 will be Jesse James and Jim Burnett.

Back in 1938, the pros took a quick look at the layout and pre dicted 276 or better—12 under par— would win the National Open held there. Ralph Guldahl plugged along the narrow, winding fairways and the well-trapped greens to come up with a 284 total that won the title. In 1941, they tried Cherry Hills again, this time in the PGA. Byron Nelson was a prohibitive favorite. He reached the final, but Vic Ghezzi matched him hole for hole for 37 holes, then beat him on the 38th Most of the swing kings who ride the professional circuit, came here from Salt Lake City where Johnny Palmer of Badin, N. C„ shot a 270 to win the Western Open. They don’t think anybody will come up with that kind of golf dur ing the next four days. Too many remember the good scores that were ruined on the “killer finish,” in cluding a green surrounded by wa ter and the 18th hole winding on a sloping hillside along a lake to a high green. Among those expected to come closest are Palmer; Lew Worsham. National Open champ; Ghezzi, who knows the rough spots; Benny Hogan, Sam Snead, If he can con trol his putter; Bobby Locke, the South African money winner; Ed (Porky) Oliver, Lloyd Mangrum, Ellsworth Vines and Chick Harbert. But few of the boys are going on record this time. They'll just wait Heurichs Start Play In Sandlot Event Special Dispatch to The Star HARRISBURG. Pa., Sept. 8. — Heurich Brewers of Washington are among the 13 strong sandlot teams ready for today’s opening of the All-America Amateur Baseball As sociation tournament. Two of the teams originally reporting for the tourney were ruled ineligible. Association officials ruled that the United States Pipe Co. nine from Bessemer, Ala., had used an ineligible player in the Southern District playoffs. Fairfield, also from Bessemer and pennant winner in the Dixie circuit, was declared the rightful contestant from the dis trict. Officials also ruled out the Cowan Freight team from Baltimore, Md., on the same ineligibility grounds. The district runnerup club, Shrine of the Little Flower, was notified to replace Cowan for today's games. Teams on hand for the tourna ment are; Spring Grove, Md., de fending champions; Dillsburg, rep resenting the Harrisburg district; Oakmont Club of Pittsburgh, Ven ango Bears of Philadelphia, Kay Veterans' Club of New York City, Banderbrook Club of Brooklyn, N.

Hoy as Have Good First Team, Lack Reserves, Coach Finds A good first team, but short on reserves—that’s Coach Jack Hagey ty's estimate of the Georgetown University football team after watching his boys go through their first scrimmage yesterday. Scrim mages will be a regular afternoon fixture at the Hilltop now as Ha gerty drives his players in an at tempt to develop substitutes in every position. The first-stringers showed what was expected of them yesterday, and some even more. Particularly pleas ing was George Benigni, 6-foot-l, 200-pound end. He’s big and loose and yesterday showed himself a glue-fingered pass receiver. On the tossing end were Elmer Raba, Tom Graham and Bob Barry. Outstanding linemen were Bus Werder and Elmer Oberto. That’s no surprise, because these two were among the best in the business last year. Out at Maryland, the big squad of 100 players went through its second , day of signal and blocking drill. Coach Jim Tatum has 75 freshmen to Took over. He can’t keep all of them, jut one who's showing enough to stick around is Ray Krouse, former West ern High and Devitt standout. He's , a 6-foot-2, 225-pound, tackle, and I yesterday pleased Tatum by the way Tie put his weight and enthusiasm ! into the dummy blocking drill. George Washington figures to be short on reserves in several positions, but fullback will not be one of the weak spots. Coach Skip Stahley has at least three good candidates for that post on the Colonial squad drill ing at Camp Letts now that Paul Skinner has injected himself into the fight. Skinner, a wingback last year, has added 15 pounds to go to 195, and he’ll give Bill Spangler and Joe Bemot a battle for the fullback berth. Spangler figured to have the in side track this year until. Bemot un expectedly returned to school. DEFENDING CHAMPS—Coach Gil Conn (right) of Coolidge’s defending high school football champions discusses the situation with two pf his good players as practice opened yesterday. The players are Bobby Rohr (left), a fleet-footed breakaway back, and Charles Ackerman, hefty tackle Nearly 600 boys turned out fdt yesterday’s opening drills at eight local public high schools —Star Staff Photo. By George Huber Guard Richard Werder of George town, who made the Catholic All America team last year, got his nickname of "Bus" from his mother when still a shaver because he was built like one. He still is. Line Coach Mush Dubofsky is p r e d 1 c ting even more hon ors this year for DUS WIIU loot season received trophies from the Touchdown Club as Wash ington’s out standing gridder and captain of the All-District Georre Huber, nine, and two other awards as Georgetown’s No. 1 football player. His best asset is his ruggedness, says Mush. “He just stays in there. They can’t fake him and they can’t get through him. He's in there knee deep and is as terrific on of fense as he is on defense. I wouldn’t trade him for any lineman in the country.” Bus, incidentally, came to George town as a backfleld candidate. He was an outstanding fullback at Canisius High in Buffalo, but at the Hilltop he just didn’t have the speed to crash Jack Hagerty’s secondary. He was shifted to the line, and you know the rest. Somebody ought to do something about this. Parking at University of Maryland for football and basket ball games may be tough this year. In the past, sports fans could park along both sides of the Washington Baltimore boulevard, and that took care of almost everybody. But now the Road Commission, or somebody, TV Our ^Modern * Service TOM’S „*r, Direct Factory Dealer The Chrysler Service Center 637 N ST. N.W. Michigan 2400 Chrysler Plymouth [is building a raised parkway along! the center of the boulevard. That's a good safety feature, but because of the space this parkway takes up there’ll be no more parking on the boulevard. There’s some parking at the school dairy and a little more in a lot next to the gym, but that’s not nearly enough. Jim Regan, George Washington U. guard who is the world champion college eater, finds the food so good at Camp Letts, where the Colonials are training, that one meal at a time is enough. T1 _4 _ 1U1. ~ t* n*. tVia Dnf. utui nuu 1110 - gers game last fall when he ate seven (correct) full meals at one sitting. He regularly eats two meals per sitting as a matter of course. Jim Goodman. U. of Maryland right end, will be a few days late reporting for practice. He was married last Friday. Jim Kurz, former Central High standout, is missing from the Maryland squad this year, having transferred to Oklahoma A. and M. He wants to study forestry, and that's the only school he could find the courses he wanted. He doesn’t plan to play football there. Names of the 100 Maryland foot ball candidates are stenciled on the seats of their football pants. This makes for easy identification at all times, because during practice they aren’t allowed to sit down, and in scrimmage that’s one part that isn’t j supposed to hit the ground. , . . The Southern Conference plans to have a czar of basket ball officials this year. A meeting will be held on October 15 at Raleigh, N. C., to vote on the several names suggested for that post at last week’s meeting. . . . Pour games already have been scheduled for the Maryland B foot ball team and two more are in the( works. . . .

Don Druckenmiller, George Washington center, Jumped right from baseball to football. He was catcher on the M. T. Rust team which won the Fairfax County League title, and the final game on Sunday took so long that Don was late reporting to Camp Letts. Ft. Wayne Nine Takes Semi-Pro Championship By tho Associated Frost WICHITA, Kans.. Sept. 3.—The National semi-pro baseball cham pionship laurels belonged to a new team today, the Fort Wayne, Ind., General Electric, but the cham pionship was in familiar territory. The Indiana team became 1947 champion when it defeated the Golden, Colo., Coors. 4-2, last night after a playoff made necessary by Coors’ win from Fort Wayne the previous night. _____ “WhMl With WbMltr" For Cov^pletf Line SALES « SaV*a/ MATS < CH»m» ♦ WHEEL**, ■*.
