Returning Baranowski
To Get Big Welcome
From G. U. Staff
By George Huber
The Babe is coming back to
Georgetown. Henry Baranowski,
the little pigskin toter and quarter
back who helped the Hoyas tre
mendously last year when Elmer
B*ba was injured, is en route from
his Chicago home and is expected
back at the Hilltop late this week.
Babe didn’t turn out with other
Georgetown gridders three weeks
ago because of a conditional mark
or two on his scholastic record. But
these have been removed, he’s eli
gible again and hell be more than
welcome on a squad that lacks depth
at quarterback as well as almost
everywhere else.
Baronowski is little, reaching only
about 5-foot-6, but chunky. He's a
fair runner and a good passer and
blocker, and last year did most of
the team’s drop-kicking. Babe would
be welcome to the Hoyas this year
if only because of that kicking
talent, because so far Coach Jack
Hagerty has tried every one on the
squad in an effort to find some one
who can do consistent converting.
When Guard Bus Werder converted
three touchdowns in last Saturday's
practice game against Maryland it
was the best effort by any one on
the team so far, and better than
Werder ever had done in practice.
Uafrarttf maasIc Vsim i *■% tVio lino
however.
Baranowski will be welcome as a
relief for Raba as quarterback also.
Right now Bob Barry figures as the
No. 1 replacement, but he's still
plenty green although showing
promise of developing considerably
as the season progresses. The Babe
is a colorful chap who's well liked
and who puts a lot of spark into
the team. His selection of plays is
good, and as *soon as he whips into
shape it will strengthen the Hoy a
brain department.
The District’s college football
teams were increased by one yes
terday as 60 Catholic U. candidates
reported for the first Cardinal team
since 1940. The morning workout
under Coach Gene Augusterfer last
ed only 15 minutes because of the
downpour, but they made up for it
in the afternoon with an extra hour
of work. With most of the boys
having had spring practice, they
went to work right away in running
through some of the plays they'll
use this fall, and even without pads
they did a little light contact drill.
Augusterfer seemed pleased at the
size of the turnout and particularly
in the weight some of the boys
showed. He figures he may have a
team.that averages as much as 190
pounds. Gussie figures the opener
against Western Maryland as the
toughest: after that he’s got as good
a chance as the next man.
Among some of the good boys on
hand are A1 Fulner and Dave Jen
kins, two big tackles; Jack Samper
ton, a tall flashy end from Central
High School; Gene Sklarz and
George Rhodes, a pair of speedy
halfbacks, and Harry Leverone, a
225-pound fullback.
Coach Jim Tatum at Maryland
made his first cut in the Terp squad
of 100 yesterday, leaving 65 on the
A squad. His probable starting
' lineup is an all-veteran outfit with
the exception of Freshman Chet
Gierula at right tackle. Others are
George Simler and Frannie Evans at
ends, Ray Krause, tackle; Ed
Phillips and Ed Schwarz, guards;
Gene Kinney, center; Joe Tucker,
quarterback; Hubie Werner and Lou
Gamblno, halfbacks, and Harry
Bonk, fullback.
Bell Looms as Choice
In Hursey Bout Here
Tommy Bell, the hard-hitting
Youngstown (Ohio) middleweight
probably - will be the favorite over
Washington's Smuggy Hursey in
thefr 10-round boxing match at
Griffith Stadium next Monday night.
Bell is credited with 26 knockouts
and 12 decisions against 11 losses
in 40 starts between 1942 and 1946.
He's won over such fighters as
Fritzie Hudson and has knocked out
Bee Bee Wright. Maxie Berger,
Johnny Carter, Bill McDowell, Ellis
Stewgrt, Billy Purrone and Chuck
Hunter (twice).
Hursey has gone undefeated since
losing a split decision to Bee Bee
Washington here a year ago. His
more recent starts have resulted in
convincing victories over Billy
Arnold, Aaron Perry and Washing
ton and a 42-second knockout over
and draw with Danny Kapilow.
Bell has finished training in New
York and moved into the Liberty
A. C. gymnasium for a series of pub
lic workouts today. Hursey follows
him into action here later in the
week.
Hopkinsville Wins Title
MADISONVILLE, Ky„ Sept. 16
(JP). — Hopkinsville became 1947
champion of the Kitty Baseball
League last night when it defeated
the Madisonville Miners, 10-7.
Outdoors
Two world records have been set
by Mrs. Ben Davis Crowninshield of
Boston and Palm Beach, who last
week caught an 882-pound blufin
tuna off Wedge
port. Nova Sco
tia following the
fourth interna
tional tuna
matches con
cluded Septem

is this the largest
tuna ever caught
by a woman, it
also is the largest
tuna ever caught
by anybody on
39 - thrlad line.
The 39 - thread
Gladding Don
egal line, on
which the catch was made, has a
wet test of only 117 pounds. This is
tribute to Mrs. Crownlnshield’s skill
as well as to the strength of the
tinp which was a 50's lea linen
cuttyhunk.
Pew anglers who when buying a
salt water linen line see the marking
of ‘'5G’s lea linen twisted cuttyhunk”
and know what it means. The “lea”
is a standard of measurement of the
threads used for. cuttyhunks and
twisted linen. A "lea” is the number
of 300-yard lengths of line which
weigh a pound. Thus, a 50’s lea line
would run 15,000 yards to the pound.
Linen is made of flax soaked in
water until it separates into a mul
titude of small individual fibers or
strands. -It is then combed apart,
graded as to diameter and length,
and spun. The best linen comes
from the Courtr&l district of Bel

Coolidge Grid Hopes
Revived by Return
Of 4 Absentees
This is one year when the defend
ing champion In the high school
football series isn't the favorite.
When the Coolidge candidates
turned out two weeks ago to start
preparations for defense of their
crown a number of expected players
were missing.
Halfback Bobby Rohr was drop
ping football in favor of a rest after
a hard baseball season, Center Krys
Valanos had a bum ankle, Halfback
Tex Jones was transferring to Wood
ward School, Tackle Chuck Acker
man was dropping football because
he had lost too much weight. Im
mediately everybody started looking
around for a good successor to the
Colts.
Let it be reported, however, that
the Colts are not going down without
a fight. And all four of those boys
are going to be on the team, too.
Rohr has reconsidered, Valanos’
ankle is okay, Jones is at Coolidge
and not Woodward, and Ackerman
has an okay from his physician to
play. They have returned to
practice.
Coach Gil Conn admits his team
doesn’t shape up as well as last
year's powerful squad. That would
be too much to expect. There are
a lot of green men on the team
and a lot of substituting will be
done. Conn sums it up this way:
’’We'll put 11 men on the field
the same as everybody else. We'll
take some defeats this year—no i
doubt about it—but the other fel- j
lows will have to work to beat Us.
We re not as good as .last year, out:
we’re no pushover.”
The Coolidge squad still numbers
about 70 boys, and in that group
there are some good players. Ralph
Shaffer, a 170-pound guard, is back
from last year, and showing lots of
speed. Buddy Strong is a tall, fast
end. In fact, the whole team is
fast, and the Colts will rely on speed.
Lack of real weight in the back
field is a handicap. Rohr, Jones,
Buddy Nurowitz, Benny Duval and
Jess Houston appear to be Conn's
best right now, and all are the type
who depend more on speed than
drive.
Yanks
(Continued From Page A-14.)
veterans George McQuinn, Tommy
Henrich and Billy Johnson, came on
from there. The pitching, led by
Frank Shea, a first year man, and
veteran Spud Chandler, became the
best in the league. Righthander
Allie Reynolds, obtained from Cleve
land in a trade for Joe Gordon,
became a regular winner and Joe
Page, a flop for two years, developed
into a great relief pitcher.
When Charley Keller, the club's
leading home run hitter, suffered a
back injury which sidelined him for
the balance of the year, sub Johnny
Lindell, a converted pitcher, stepped
into his left field nost, and nlaveri
the best ball of his career. '
About the same time pitchers
Shea and Chandler, who had borne
the brunt of the mound work, came
up with sore arms and newcomers
Vic Raschi, an importation from
the Pacific Coast League, and vet
eran Bobo Newsom, received via thH
waiver route from Washington*'
stepped in and did yeoman work.
Each won seven important games
in a limited space of time. Page
continued his great relief work,
winning 14 and saving 15 other
games.
19-Game Winning Streak.
The Yankees wrested first place
from the Tigers on June 15. What
really broke the race wide apart
was an amazing 19-game winning
streak hung up by the Yankees from
June 29 to July 17. They picked
up eight games on the rest of the
field and increased their first place
lead to ll>/2 games. Those 19 in a
row tied the American League con
secutive win mark which had been
set by the 1906 White Sox. So far
out front did the long winning streak
put them that they were able to
coast in by a wide margin, although
they played only a bit over .500 dur
ing the last month.
Other pennants won by the
Yankees were in 1921, ’22, ’23, ’26, ’27,
’28, ’32, ’36, ’37, ’38, ’39, ’41, ’42 and
’43. This is the first under the

not managed by Joe McCarthy.
After losing the first game yes
terday, the Red Sox came back to
trip the White Sox, 7-5, in the second
game of the double-header.
The Cards lost another half game
to the Dodgers when they were
beaten for the second straight time
bv the New York Giants in St. Louis,
10- 5.
Lefty Bob Chipman bested Johnny
Sain in a hurling duel as the Chicago
Cubs nipped the Boston Braves, 3-2.
With Hank Greenberg hitting his

rapped the Philadelphia Phils, 12-2,

gium, hence its scarcity during the
war. Even now, good linen line is
difficult to obtain in the larger sizes
such as were used in landing this
record tuna.
The exacting requirements of
heavy game fishing in salt water
call for a line that is perfectly and
evenly twisted, free from any sem
blance of imperfections that might
weaken it at any point. Not only do
big game fishermen use this type of
line, but it is a favorite with com
mercial salt water fishermen and
anglers who go for smaller species.
Good linen line is expensive and
deserves better treatment than it
gets at the hands of most salt water
anglers. It will stand a lpt of abuse,
and properly cared for will last a
long time.
After each trip, the line should be
removed from the reel onto a “line
drier,” which may be purchased at
most sports stores or made at home
should be dunked in fresh water to
remove the salt water, all bits of sea
weed or grass carefully removed,
and then dried in a shady place.
After it has dried thoroughly it
may be re-spooled on the reel, the
casting end examined for any frayed
spots.
Most linen lines are designated as
to strength by the number of threads
they contain. Each thread has a
wet strength of approximately 3
pounds. Therefore a 6-thread line
will test 18 pounds when wet, a 9
thread 27 pounds, etc. Nine and 12
thread line is amply large for most
purposes. Including surf casting, al
though many anglers like to play it
safe and use the heavier grades,

Redskins, Bears May Draw $125,000 Gate
Good Turnout Seen at Chicago Despite Lack of Co-operation From Press
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—The Red
skin-Bear game tomorrow night
is another round in what has
dgveloDed into a one-sided scrap
between National Football League
members and club owners of the
more recent All-America Con
ference. The scrap is rather
juvenile, although it hasn't
reached the name-calling stage
yet.
Some say that these pre
season games are meaningless,
that they line club coffers with
out adding a penny to players’
salaries and that charity is kissed
off with a mere pittance. In
Los Angeles and here in Chicago
certain writers critical of the
National League because of its
refusal to meet the conference
Champion in a football World
Series either ridicule the games
or ignore them entirely. Neither
tactic has been damaging.
From talking to club members,
we gather that the NFL would
listen to any sound financial
proposition, but that they do not
regard an alliance with the con
ference as sound or profitable at
this stage of the game. The talk
is that Brooklyn and the Chicago
Rockets can't possibly operate
after this season and that the
league will have trouble finding
new locations for these teams.
Some persons predict the Cleve
land Browns, the healthiest
operation in the conference, will
try to get into the National
League next year, nut that story
was bruited around a year ago.
Coach Turk Edwards of the
Redskins thinks preseason games
are a great boon to the football
fans. He points out there is no
loafing because the rookies are
trying for jobs and the veterans
are frying to hold ’em off. The
vets violently dislike the games
because they frequently get racked
up by an over-anxious rookie.
"They can count,” Edwards
says, “and they know we’ve got
to cut six men to get down to the
35-player limit. _ Somebody's got

league games is that I have to
fire 'em up more before we go
out on the field. I don’t have to
give the rookies a pep talk when
they’re trying to land a Job.”
The Redskin-Bear game' to
morrow night should draw about
$125,000 worth of customers, and
some think it will hit $150,000.
Approximately $100,000 was in
the till today, almost double last
years’ gross, despite the lack of
full co-operation from the press.
We don’t know what the Red
skins’ share of this game will be,
aside from a hideful of bruises,
but in Los Angeles the Times,
sponsor of the game, published
figures showing that taxes and
stadium rental cost more than
the two teams. The tax bill was
$38,640 and the stadium cost
$23,359, while the Redskins, at
least, didn’t make enough to
cover training exQgnses.
With all the overhead, how
ever, the Times Charities still
earned $105,368, which means the
kids will get a club this year.
In Denver, with a downpour
that didn't stop until minutes
before the kick-off, the Redskins
and Detroit Lions still drew ap
proximately 15,000 fans and
earned a few thousand dollars
for the Denver Post charity fund.

D. C. Elevens' Rivals DHII Hard
For Openers Two Weeks Awav
With only two weeks to go before
opening games, here's how some
opponents for local and nearby col
lege elevens are shaping up:
Wake Forest (Georgetown opens
there September 27): Looks air
minded this year, with some expert
pass receivers in Red O’Quinn, Ed
Bradley, Jim Duncan and Ed Hoey,
all ends. Kicking, too, is good with
Tom Fetzer, an able successor to
Nick Sacrinty, in this department.
Fordham (here against George
town October 3): Shaping up with
mostly sophomores as starters. Will
not be as strong as the old Fordham
teams, but has lots of spirit and is
looking to 1948 as a better year. Will
not fool around with the T forma
tion as it did last year, but will stick
to the Notre Dame style.
St. Louis U. (here against George
town October 10): Another team
depending a lot on pass catching,
with Left End Carl Weisner a stand
out, Plenty of fair backs, although
many are small. Herb Hartman at
tackle Is one of line’s mainstays.
Boston College (Georgetown there
November 1): Again looks like a
heft In the backfield than last year.
Fullback Ed Sengin and Halfback
A1 Cannava have scoring punch,
and Quarterback Ed Clasby it a
triple-threater.
Villanova (Georgetown there No
vember 16): Several of last year’s
reserves are giving the regulars a
fight for backfield jobs. Even Joe
Rogers, No. 1 ground gainer in the
East last year, isn’t certain to start
because of good work in practice
from A1 Schmid, who was injured
last year.
Virginia (Q. W. opens there Sep
tember 27): Big Bruce Bailey shap
ing up as offensive star. Over 6
feet and weighing 200 pounds, he’s
kicking, passing and running in big
league style. Work in line improv
ing, with Barney Jennings a stand
out.
V. M. I. (G. W. there October 4):
'Beat Brownell/ Golfers' Cry
As District Amateur Starts
“Beat Brownell’’ Is the cry of the
| District amateur golfers starting to
day at Woodmont County Club as
I 60-odd of the top players in the city
1 tee off in the 29th annual cham
pionship of the District Golf Asso
ciation, the first to be held at Wood
mont. __
They’re saying “Beat Brownell”
because nobody has been able to
beat Blond Bobby of late. He is the
1 defending champion and to date
j this season has won the Maryland
Amateur, the Middle Atlantic Ama
teur, was low sectional qualifier for
the National Amateur, low amateur
in the $10,000 National Capital Open,
j holds the Chevy Chase Club title
and is in the semifinals of the
Manor championship.
Brownell won the District Am
ateur at the age bf 17 in 1936 and
repeated 10 years later in his second
try. The only match he has lost
to a local golfer this season was in
the semifinals of the Kenwood In
vitation when Ralph Bogart beat
him, 2 and 1, by dropping a 60-foot
putt.
With several of the District’s top
players missing, Bogart stands out
as Brownell's chief opposition in the
amateurs. They are constant play
ing partners, help each other line
up putts, tell the other what club
to use, that is, except when they
are opponents.
Woodmont is playing host to the
tournament with its new nine holes
and its old course, .which includes,
two new holes. Although ^the new
course has come a long way, it has
been in play only four and a half
months and anybody that matches
par of 69 can be pretty sure of the
medal. Thirty-two players will
qualify for match play and 79 should
make the grade in today’s medal
round.
With 11-time Host Club Cham
pion Howard Nordlinger the only
player in the Held who appreciably
will be aided by his knowledge of
the course, Brownell, Bogart & Co.
will not have the advantage of
playing on home grounds. It’s the
setting for upsets.
The low scorer today will hold the
competitive course record, but Billy
Shea, the 1937 champion, already
holds the record for the first hole.
In a practice round yesterday Shea
knocked an eight-iron shot into the
cup for an eagle 2. He’d like to have
saved it. M. W.
K. of C. Bowling Loop to Open
39th Season Tomorrow Night
Khights of Columbus League, the
city's oldest fraternal bowling loop,
will usher in Its 39th season at 9
p.m. tomorrow at Columbia.
Also starting tomorrow night will
be the 18-team Eastern Star Ladies'
League, opening its 20th consecu
tive season at 7:30 at Lucky Strike.
Dartmouth quint will be seeking
its fifth straight pennant when the
Intercollegiate Alumni loop takes
the Lafayette drives at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday for its 20th season.
Earl Knapp's top scores of 150
and 379 sparked Erecting Shop’s 2-1
win from Coppersmiths in the Lucky
Strike Naval Gun Factory League
opener. Safety Office, last year’s
champion, was off winging again
with a sweep over last season’s
runnerup Supply No. 1.
Kay Luckett’s 336, which led
Mount Rainier’s 2-1 victory over
Duritc Food Distributors, and
j
I
1
Hurt by summer flu attack which
hit a dozen men on the squad last
week. Punting has been stressed,
with Jack Hutchinson, Vince Ragu
nas and Joe Gantt doing the boot
ing.
V. P. I. (Here against G. W. Oc
tober 31): Original squad of 110
now down to 58 on A squad. A few
minor injuries have sidelined some
varsity players. Spent much time
last week on pass work gnd dummy
scrimmages.
South Carolina (Maryland opens
there September 27): Spectacular
broken Add running from Freshman
Bishop Strickland. Bo Hogan, fresh
standout last year, appears recov
ered from injuries and is doing good
quarterbacking .
Delaware (Here against Maryland
October 3): Billy Cole and Doc
Doherty again look good for high
ground-gaining averages. Joe Coady
kicking even better than last year.
Duke (Maryland there October
18): End Benny Cittadino has been
elected team captain. His play
backs up his mates' choice as his
scrappy work and spirit got him on
the All-Conference eleven last year.!
Virginia Tech (Maryland there
October 25): Bobby Smith s punt
ing going great. Figures to be big
help to squad if he can stay away
from the injuries that hit him last
year.
Duquesne (Maryland there No
vember 8): In good physical shape
at end of two weeks of practice.
Inexperience of sophomores is chief
worry. Sure starters are Joe Fay,
200-pound guard; Walt Platukis,
speedy halfback and Joe Gootleib,
-talented fullback who runs, kicks
and passes with the best.
North Carolina (Here against
Maryland November 15): Billy
Hayes from Arlington, Va., is stick
ing with the varsity group. Despite
his small size, compared to some
other Tar Heel backs, Hayes is show
ing himself as a speedy and smart
runner. His passing also is good.
Gladys Fish's 135 that aided Occi
dental Hotel's sweep over Barlowe’s
Lunch were best In the King Pin
Ladles’ loop opener.
Buddy Moyer rapped out highs of
156 and 372 as Sam’s Shoe Shop
whitewashed Federal Litho in the
Tuesday Brookland mixed loop
starter.
Dan Nicholas starred with 436
and Johnny Burger posted top sin
gle of 157 in the Pop Crawley Me
morial League opening at Mount
Rainier.
