Hoyas Lost $100,000
By Defeat in Opener,
Schwagel Moans
ly Merrell Whittlesey
Georgetown Graduate Manager of
Athletics Rome Schwagel termed the
Hoyas’ 6-0 loss to Wake Forest a
1100,000 defeat, speaking strictly
from the box office standpoint, but it
would *n&ve been worth a million for
Coach Jack Hagerty’s crew to win It,
Judging by the boys’ disappointment
over^the loss.
SChwagel estimated a Hoya
triumph would have meant 50,000
additional persons, at an average of
$3 earn, would turn out for George
town’s four home games, starting
with Fordham here Friday night at
Griffith Stadium. ‘It breaks down
to $16,667 a point,” Schwagel moaned.
‘‘People will forget we gave them a
great game and just remember that
we lost.”
The Georgetown player who was
Inconsolable was Johnny Preston,
19-year-old halfback, who allowed
Carl Haggard to get away with the
touchdown pass through absolutely
no fault of Preston’s. Part of the
field in Groves Stadium at Wake
Forest had been resodded and as
Preston went to cover Haggard he
slipped and fell on a piece of loose
turf. Babe Baronowski, who missed
Haggard with a flying tackle, was
not responsible for the score.
The Saturlay night game drew a
number of coaches, scouts and news
papermen who were in the area for
the Georgia-North Carolina and
Duke-N. C. State Saturday after
noon. Mo6t felt Georgetown merited
a tie at the worst and were surprised
at the Hoyas’ strength and particu
larly their defensive play. They also
predicted big things for Wake Forest
by midseason. The Deacons have
nn* nf t.hp hicrcrpst. tpnm* in rnllppp
football.
The Hoyas game was played in
what is believed to be record time, 1 j
hour and 54 minutes from whistle to
whistle. Georgetown did not draw a
penalty and the Deacons lost only
25 yards.
Football scouting is becoming a
chummy business. Ed Franco, the
assistant coach at Fordham, and
Vince Lombardi, freshman mentor,
went as far as to travel on the Hoyas’
special cars, spend the day with the
Georgetown coaches and they eat
with the team on the return trip.
Franco told Hagerty Fordham should
cancel its schedule as the Rams had
nothing. Hagerty said he wished
they would as they’d probably mur
der Georgetown. Honors even.
North Carolina is one of the top
States in football enthusiasm. Within
a 25-mile radius of Raleigh Satur
day more than 100,000 persons
turned out for three major games.
With „ Duke, State, Carolina and
Wake’Forest all playing away this
week end, special trains are being
chartered for all games, including
the Tar Heels at Texas.
Charley Justice, the Carolina back
wno was conceded Aii-America
honors before the season started,
suffered what may be an Insur
mountable setback in the Georgia
game. The Tar Heel-Georgia game
was one of the three big games in
the nation and drew newspapermen
from New York to Atlanta and was
carried .over five networks,j two of
them major.
But Justice was held to one gain
of more than 5 yards although he
played almost 60 minutes. Georgia
had spent great pains in building
a defense for him. The Bulldogs
showed their respects for Choo
Cboo, however, by booting kickoffs
with the ball laying on the ground,
not teed up, to make sure some
player would have to pick it up be
fore it reached safety-man Justice.

appears to be the team to beat in the
Eastern division of the 160-pound1

feating the Brookland-Woodridge
Merchants, 12-0. Bob Meitz and

In Friendly Net Rivalry
Once again Jim Thackara has the I
edge over Barney Welsh, the old
master of local tennis, in their
friendly rivalry that’s been going
on ever since Thackara joined the
local group this spring. This time
Thackara goes in front because of
yesterday’s win in the Northern
Virginia tournament final.
That makes up for Barney’s vic
tory over Jim in the Middle Atlan
tic tourney, which was supposed to
balance things after Jim had beaten
him in the District of Columbia I
tourney.
Scores yesterday in the windup)

Stribling Stakes Good
Record in Bout With
Cooper Tonight
The indoor fight season opens to
night at Turner’s Arena, wtih Ken
Stribling, local colored middle
weight meeting Irish Billy Cooper
of Patterson, N. J„ in the 10-round
main event. This will be Stribling’s
first effort under his new manager,
Chris Dundee, handler of quite a
string of good fighters, including
Washington’s Georgie Abrams.
Stribling has developed well in
the last year and now stands among
the District’s best battlers. He’s
won six in a row, the last three by
knockouts over Frank Sweeney, Joe
Gannon and Kayo Williams. If he
continues like that over the winter
circuit, he’ll be ready to attract big
gates by next summer.
Cooper, too, has a fair record,
with J. C. Wilkins, Jerry Fiorello
and Sonny Horne on his list of
victims.
It will be mostly local boys in
the supporting bouts. Five-heaters
are Puggy King against Red Gaddis
in a rematch, Billy Terry against
Sonny Boy Bunn and Kid Wolke
against Herb Taylor. Pours are
Tommy Larner against Angelo
Marini and Buddy Thomas against
Joe Stevens. First fight is at

tiful catch. Saenz and Bob Nuss
baumer put most of the foot in the
team’s running attack, although
Jenkins did heavy duty on line
plunges until put out of the game
for unnecessary roughness.
The Skins were ahead only once,
and very briefly, early in the second
period when Baugh completed the
1,000th pass of his big league career,
tossing to Taylor, who negotiated a
total of 62 yards for a touchdown.
Dick Poillon booted the extra point
to make it 14-10, and it seemed as
if Washington suddenly had found
itself. But Van Buren took the sub
sequent kickoff 95 yards through the
Tribe's bewildered defense and the
Eagles never were headed.
The green-shirted host eleven
made it 38-21 in the third period,
apparently grinding out the last
spark of Redskin resistance, and
even the most faithful Baugh fol
lowers were not prepared for the
rally that followed.
Nussbaumer took Baugh's first
touchdown pass with Gil Steinke
snuggling up to him in the end zone
early in the second period. The
second was that 62-yard job to
Taylor and Saenz’s 94-yard romp
provided the third Skin score.
Baugh pitched a 4-yarder to Poillon,
who was so wide open he could
have picked dandelions waiting for
the ball, in the third period. The
next went to Taylor for a total of
37 yards midway in the Anal period
and the same combination clicked
for 18 and another score near the
end of the period.
T* riK* n^fpnco TiHorv
Tommy Thompson pitched his
first pay-off toss to Pete Pihos early
in the opening quarter, after Van
Buren’s off-tackle thrusts had made
the Tribe defense as jittery as a
bowl of nervous Jello. Van Buren’s
kickoff return brought the next
six-pointer and A1 Sherman drove
over from the 1 for the next, cul
minating a 59-yard march.
Van Buren cracked over from
1 foot, ending a 37-yard drive early
in the third period and Thompson
followed up with a 21-yard toss to
Pihos for the fifth touchdown. The
last Philadelphia score marked Neil
Armstrong’s debut in pro football.
Virtually the league’s unanimous
No. 1 draft choice, Armstrong got
behind De Fruiter and took a float
er for 29 yards and the score.

Colts Display Year's
Best Offense, but
Can’t Beat Yanks
Special Dispatch to The Stor
BALTIMORE, Sept. 29. —The
Colts came up with their best of
fense of the season, but it was too
much Spec Sanders and Buddy
Young as the Baltimore Club lost,
21-7, to the New York Yankees,
before a stadium crowd of 51,183
yesterday.
Sanders and Young handled the
ball on 40 of the Yankees’ 49 plays
and the former scored two touch
downs and passed to the third. The
Yanks went 65 yards for one score,
but the other two were made pos
sible by Colt fumbles.
Bud Schwenk completed 20 of
34 passes for the Colts for 189
yards, but when the Colts needed
a payoff pitch they couldn’t con
nect.
All the scoring was in the first
half, with the Colts’ lone touchdown
counted by Bus Mertes from 5 yards
out. Mertes fumbled as he crossed
the goal line but a touchdown is good
as the ball carrier has possession on,
over or above the goal line.
The Baltimore line did not give
Schwenk much protection and it was
to ’his credit that he completed 19
passes. A number of times the big
Yank lineman, coached by ex-Red
skin mentor Ray Flaherty, were on
Schwenk before he could raise his
arm.
Young was a threat throughout
but the Negro speedster could not
get the opening to utilize his great
speed. The Colts watched him too
closely at times, which gave Sanders
an opportunity to break away.
The Colts meet the San Francisco
49ers here next Sunday in their
fifth conference game.

Gamecocks amazed. One of the
players even dropped around to
the Maryland Hotel after the
game to inquire how a 202

Lu credits it to a new pair of
low-cut shoes he used for the
first time in that game. "Like
running with nothing on your

to do was go through them.”
__ Lu’s speed also was a surprise

Quarterback Vic Turyn. "I knew

game, “but I never saw him that
fast. He was over to those holes
before I was, and I only had one

Notre Dame Launches
Season on Saturday
Against Pittsburgh
•y th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 39. — Notre
Dame, awarded the 1947 college foot
ball crown a month ago in all States
except Michigan and North Carolina,
plays its first game Saturday to
highlight a gridiron card that will
compete with the World Series for
interest.
The Irish, manned by veteran stars
at virtually every post, open against
Pittsburgh, a team that held Illinois
scoreless for three quarters Saturday
before losing 14 to 0. The stub
bornness of the Panthers in their
game with the defending Big Nine
titleholders was one of the features
of last Saturday’s schedule.
Michigan and North Carolina will
try to strengthen their claims to
the mythical national title in a pair
of intersectional games, with the
Wolverines—who bumped Michigan
State, 55 to 0, in their first outing—
tangling with Stanford, 19 to 16
upset victim of Dixie Howell’s Idaho
Vandal*
North Carolina, which sneaked by
Georgia, 14 to 7, visits Texas in a
battle that should raise temperatures
in both Austin and Chapel Hill. The
Longhorns, performing out of the T
this year, invaded Oregon last week
end and trounced the coast eleven
38 to 13.
The new West Coast-Big Nine
tieup also goes on display at Evans
ton, 111., where Northwestern, 3-0
victim of Vanderbilt In its opener,
takes on U. C. L. A., defending
Coast champion and already a 22
to-7 victor over Iowa.
Other Big Nine games have Wis
consin at Indiana, Ohio State at
Purdue, Illinois at Iowa and Minne
sota resuming its series with Ne
braska of the Big Six.
The South also offers an attrac
tive card. Louisiana State, which
opened with a 21-14 verdict over
Rice, takes on Georgia at Athens,
and Georgia Tech, which amazed
with its 27-to-0 job on Tennessee,
visits Tulane, a team that blasted
Alabama out of the unbeaten ranks
by a single point, 21 to 20. The
Crimson Tide is the guest of Van
derbilt.
Duke’s Blue Devils, who con
quered North Carolina State by 7
to 0, is next on the Tennessee sched
ule while Mississippi state travels
all the way to Michigan State.
Iowa State, 7-to-0 loser to Color
ado, tangles with Kansas in the
opening Big Six Conference game,
while the Rocky Mountain Buffaloes
come East to -see what they can do
about stopping the Army’s unbeaten
string that moved to 29 straight
Saturday with a 13-to-0 verdict
over Villanova.
Navy, polished off by California,
14 to 7, is host to a Columbia team
that scored four touchdowns and
then sat back and watched Rutgers
get four before winning, 40 to 28.
Other Eastern attractions are Brown
at Princeton, Lafayette at Pennsyl
vania, Cornell at Yale and Bucknell
at Penn State.

Chicago Golf Victory
Puts Hogan on Top
In 1947 Earnings
ly Associated Frost
CHICAGO, Sept. Little Ben
Hogan doesn’t go to the winner’s
circle so often any more, but he still
is professional golf’s best cash-col
lector.
Hogan’s par-pulverising triumph
in the second International tourney
at Tam O’Shanter course yesterday
was only his fourth win of the year,
yet it hoisted his earnings to $29,310.
Last year Ben led the field with 13
tourney victories good for $42,59$.
Ben scooted through Promoter
George S. May's 36-hole invitational
with a nine-under-par 135 to grab
the $5,000 first prise in the winner
take-all test among eight title
holders.
In addition. Kogan collected $2,000
appearance money which May paid
to each entry, which boosted him
from third to first in golf’s money
winning column.
Second to Hogan was South Afri
can Bobby Locke with 138. Ben and
Bobby posted closing 70’s yesterday,
but the course record-equalling 65
he posted Saturday provided Hogan's
three-stroke margin.
Jimmy Demaret, erstwhile money
winning leader, finished in a third
place tie with Lloyd Mangrum at
139, while defending Champion
Sammy Snead had 145; U. S. Open
Champion Lew Worsham, 146; Na
tional PGA Champion Jim Perrier,
147; and Western Open Titlist
Johnny Palmer, 149.
The $2,000 each collected for show
ing up at May’s exclusive party left
Demaret second to Hogan in earn
ings, with $25,636, and Locke third
with $24,927.
Dean Pitches Well,
But Slides Poorly
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 39.—A pulled
leg muscle, not arm trouble,
forced Dizzy Dean out of action
yesterday as the ancient St. Louie
Cardinals hurler tried a one-day
comeback for the St. Louis Browna
against the Chicago White Sox.
The Sox won a 5-2 decision, with
all runs for both teams comirig
in the 9th Inning.
Dean allowed three hits In the
first four frames and exploded a
lusty single to left. He pulled
the muscle on an unsuccessful
slide into second, and, after a bit
of clowning, retired from the
game.
