Runyon Colie, the 1947 national
penguin champion, plans to enter
his boat in the penguin events of
the President’s Cup Regatta, to be
held off Hains Point Saturday and

The Mantoloking <N. J.) ace, who
is a former Intercollegiate dinghy
champion from M. I. T., scored four
firsts out of five in the penguin
championships last month at Hamp
ton, Va.
He will be up against.some stiff
competition from dinghy sailors in
this area. They include Joe Krafft.

An entry also is expected from
Florence Neff of Mantoloking Yacht

herself in Barnegat Bay racing
circles. She will race Pink Lady, a
penguin recently purchased from
Lawson.

Gamecocks, Terps' First Rivals
Of '47, Dominated by Frosh
By Dei Booth
Associated Pros* Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S. C„ Sept. 11.—
The University of South Carolina
Gamecocks, %who help Maryland's
Terrapins make their debut here
September 27, are starting virtually
from scratch this year in rebuilding
their football fortunes on 27 letter
men and, 40 freshmen.
Partisans who stirred up hopes
that* the second postwar Gamecock j
edition might approach the near
great 1941 team it took Coach Rex
Enright four years to build "are in
for a sad letdown,” Enright declares.
"We might have as good a team
as we had last year, despite loss of
Halfback Earl (Sheriff) Dunham, on
whose offensive generalship we de
pended heavily, and second All
America Center Bryant Meeks,” En
right conceded.
“We even might be as good as we
were in 1938,” Enrights first year
with the Gamecocks, "but no one
should expect any more than that.
We could lose all but three of our
nine games, we could win six. That's
the range to expect. It could turn
—n* Hi if Harrtlv "
Breakaway Back Needed.
The outcome hinges primarily on
prospects for a fine line despite the
loss of Meeks. The team's principal
shortcoming is lack of a breakaway
back. Hefty, reputedly talented
freshmen dominate the squad, but
their lack of experience is hardly
expected to boost prospects.
Tjem Ekimoff, tough and rugged
lineman from Erie, Pa., and Rock
Kill’s Ben Massey, neither with
much experience, will alternate at
the center post from w'hich Meeks
directed defense last year. '»
Atlanta's Alexander Brothers.
230-pounders Kale and Phil, are
star tackle prospects, both holdovers
from last season. Thev are backed
by numerous but relatively untested
reserves.
Neil Allen of Greele.vville, team
captain, and Max Walker of Mont
gomery. W. Va., give the Game
cocks a pair of outstanding guards.
Although Red Ozburn of Andrews
and A1 Farress of Greenville are
the only outstanding reserves.
Reserves also are a problem at
end, where six good men on a squad
are almost essential to the smash
ing type of defensive play Enright
likes. Bobby O'Harra of Florence
end Red Wilson of Macon. Ga.. are
both fine ends, but Cecil Woolbright

Tackle Is One Spot G. U. Coach
Won't Have to Worry About
By George Huber
One position about which Coach
Jack Hagerty of Georgetown's foot
ball team has no worried is tackle.
Nor. only do those daily scrimmages
at the Hilltop show him he's pretty
well fixed for starting players, but
he also has a fair to excellent crop
of reserve tackles.
The Hoyas are just plain wide
and deep at tackles. Hagerty has
such holdovers from last year as
220-pound Lou Robustelll, 200-pound
Andy Ronon. 195-pound George
Antone and 225-pound Jim O’Keefe.
All are hard driving boys, too big
to go around and too tough to go
across. As veterans Robustelli and
Ronon appear to have the inside
track for starting posts, but their
job isn't cinched.
Not only are Antone and O'Keefe
making threatening gestures for
regular berths, but a couple of new
comers are injecting themselves
into the fight. One is 6-foot-3,
220-pound Jim Ricca and the other
is 200-pound Johnny Berger. These
youngsters are making it tough for
the veterans, and just who will
start on September 27 against Wake
Forest still is far from being de
cided.
Maryland players went to the
movies yesterday — movies of last
Saturday's long scrimmage session—
and as a result there will be a
slight change in Coach Jim Tatum's
daily schedule.- He and his assistant
coaches weren't as happy after
watching the movies as they were
after watching that practice. They
found particular fault with the way
many of the players got mixed up
on their assignments. So the daily
blackboard drill will be lengthened
from one hour to an hour and a
half or two hours, and more time
me uamecocKS, is me Drigntest
prospect for the backfleld. If T
Quarterback Bo Hagan of Colum
bia has recovered from a 1946 knee
injury he probably will share back
field honors, principally on his pass
ing, with Harrison.
, Outstanding Halfbacks.
Jack Couch of Atlanta, Bobby
Giles of Columbia, Harry Deloach
of Beaufort and Freshmen Marion
L. Edwards of Attalla, Ala., and
Ed Jackson of Rock Hill are the
early-season outstanding halfbacks,
although the field is wide open
for a score of others with whom
the Gamecocks are heavily laden.
Bill Rutledge of Charlotte and
Bishop Strickland, Mullins fresh
man, are leading reserves for Har
rison at fullback. Droopy Atwell
of Spartanburg, an expert passer,
is expected to alternate with Hagan
at quarterback.
The schedule:
September 20^-Newberry here: 27.
Maryland here: October 4. Mississippi at
Memphis: 11, Furman here: >23, Clem
son here: 31. Miami (Fla.) at Miami
(night): November 7. The Citadel at

27, Wake Forest at Charlotte.
win De spent, on tne practice neia
in running through plays.
A number of players, however,
looked good in the movies. The
films gave added emphasis to the
good work witnessed from Tackle
Joe Drach. He was in on every
thing. Halfback Hubie Werner, in
jured last year and a question mark
this season, showed up well. He did
some good blocking and displayed
plenty of speed as a ball toter.
Among the other movie stars were
Halfback Norm Beaulieu, particu
larly at line backing, and End Pete
Augsburger, a 6-foot-3 freshman
who stood out on defense.
Scrimmages at Camp Letts are
showing daily improvement in the
G«orge Washington eleven, partic
ularly in the line. The guards—
Dixie Howell, Talbot Dredge, Jim
Regan and Bob Unger — especially
did good work in yesterday’s drill.
Lack of enough ends still worries
Coach Skip Stahley and the number
of candidates, already low, was cut
yesterday when Irv Kolker had to
be sent to Washington for treat
ment. He has a knee injury that
may keep him from play for a week
or more. He's a brother of Sid and
Bernie Kolker, both former stand
outs with the Colonials. Last sea
son it was a shoulder injury that
kept him on the bench most of the
time.

Tom Brown Rated Next
To Kramer on Torrid
U. S. Net Meet Play
4 By Anociot*d Pr«i
FOREST HILLS, N. Y„ Sept. 11 —
A couple of ball blasters named
Brown—Tom, jr„ of San Francisco
and Geoff (pronounced Jeff) of Aus
tralia-held the spotlight today in
the national tennis championships
at the West Side Tennis Club.
The two sluggers, very well might
meet ih singles in next year's Davis
Cup challenge round, were down to
go five hard sets, or less, in the
stadium with the prize one of eight
quarter-final berths in the title
event.
Tom, jr.. the hot rock of last sea
son, suddenly has shown signs of
catching fire again and the experts
thought it extremely doubtful that
Geoff, a nonplaying member of this
year’s Aussie cup team, would be
able to cool off the temperamental
Coast star.
After playing sensational tennis
to reach last year's final agairst •
Jack Kramer, Tom suddenly and in
explicably last his fine edge and
didn’t even come close to getting
to play against Australia in either
of the big cup matches held since
then.
Now he appears to be right back
at his peak, which means he is
the closest thing to Kramer to be
seen on any court. In one set
against Fred Kovaleski, a not-oao
player from Detroit, two days ago.
he gave up exactly six points, only
three of them on errors.
“When Toms playing like that,
there’s nothing to do but bar the
door,” observed Walter Pate, the
former Davis Cup captain.
Unfortunately for him, Tom's
chances of reaching the final again
are very slim. Because of his win
ter’s lapse he was seeded only third ,
among American players and was
dropped into the same bracket with
Kramer. Which means that, even
though he defeats Geoff Brown to
day and then gets past the Czech
menace, Jaroslav Drobny, tomorrow,
he still cannot put off a meeting
; with Kramer past the semifinals on
Saturday.

Detroit Adds Race as Benefit
For Boy, 10, Blinded by Kick
ly »H# Associated Frost
DETROIT, 8ept. 11.—The
hard-boiled aura of “getaway
day” at the Detroit race track
will be softened Saturday by a
horseman's concern over a
youngster’s tough luck.
At a race track, getaway day is
the final day of the season, when
regular horse players strive for
the financial break that will pay
their fare to the next track.
It's not a very sentimental day,
especially if the bettor’s luck is
bad.
But the Detroit horsemen have
agreed on an extra race on the
season's last card to give 10-year
old Richard Hinson of Royal Oak
a break.
Richard lost an eye September
2 when he suffered a blow or kick
in the face as he stooped to peek
linrtar a aid/«hnv t.pnf U iHatn
a two-headed calf at £he Michi
gan State Fair.
A guard was arrested and ac
cused of kicking the boy.
The fair was entirely separate
from, the rack track, although
the latter operates op State
owned property.
However, Clarence tKingl Lehr,
chairman of the Detroit Racing
Association, was touched by
Richard's plight and conceived a
plan to run an extra race on
Saturday’s closing card. All of
the track’s proceeds will go to
the boy.
Normally, the track may expect
to reap about *8,000 as its share
of a single Saturday race.
Lehr broached his plan to
State Racing Commissioner Lewis
Bredin, who gave it instant
approval.
"I consider it a nice gesture of
good wily Bredin said. “It
should throw the lie back in the
teeth of those persons who think
I"'"
! every one connected with racing
, is a rascal.”
Although extra races are often
run for charitable purposes.
Bredin was unable to recall any
in which a youngster not con
nected with the sport in any way
| was the recipient. .!
So'when the final bugle of the
| 1947 season calls the horses to
the post, the getaway players at
Detroit will plug a couple of extra
i dollars through the mutuel win
dows for a kid who has had his
share of bad breaks.

commissioner other duties prevented
a conference.
Baseball writers of other New
York evening newspapers said an
assistant of Chandler's had asked
them for copies of their stories on
the interview in Washington.
Last Friday editions of four New
York evening newspapers carried ac- i
counts of Hie interview in which
MacPhail was quoted as saying it
was a 100-to-l shot that Durocher
would not be back in baseball next
season. MacPhail then was quoted
as asking:
“Do you think that Durocher
would have been suspended if Rickey
'Branch Rickey, president of the
Brooklyn club) hadn’t wanted him
suspended?"
MacPhail said last night that what
he “had to say in Washington was

the Yankees and the Dodgers in the
World Series. My answer to that
was that neither club as yet was
certain of engaging in the World
Series, although at present appeared
to have -a good chance.

“I then voiced the opinion that I
thought Burt Shotton 'had done a

this year. I was asked whether I
thought Durocher would be back
next year and I said I would take a
little bet at 100 to 1 that he wouldn't

"But the statement attributed to
me that Leo would not have been
luspended for a year if Rickey had
not wanted him suspended is not
true.”
