Two Laurel Stakes
And Pimlico Special
Headline Big Week
ly '*• Pr«»
LAUREL, Md., Oct. 27.—The big
gest week of Maryland's fall racing
session is at hand, with two stakes
to be run at Laurel before the meet
ing ends here Wednesday, and before
the thoroughbreds move over to Pim
lico to begin a 13-day stand to be
featured by the eleventh running of
the Pimlico Special Friday.
The $15.0Q0-added Chevy Chase
Steeplechase and the $10,000-added
Queen Isabella Handicap for Allies
and mares both will be run on get
away day at Laurel. The Chevy
Chase will be run over the testing
route of 2H miles and the Queen
Isabella is a lli-mile affair.
Special Holds Chief Interest.
But the chief interest centers on
the Pimlico Special, the $25,000 win
ner - take - all championship affair
which currently shapes up as a four
horse affair, headed by Calumet
Farm's great gelding. Armed.
Armed will be angling for a second
victory in the Special, which he won
in 1945, and Warren Wright's Calu
met Farm will be seeking a fourth
victory in the I 3/16 mile classic.
Other Calumet horses who have won
were Whirlaway, in a walkover in
1942, and Twilight Tear, in 1944.
The 3-year-old Ferveht will be
running with Armed as a Calumet
entry.
Opposing the entry will be two
other 3-year-olds, William Helis'
Cosmic Bomb and Walter M. Jef
fords’ Loyal Legion. Trainer Oscar
Whites has decided not to start
Jeffords’ Snow Goose in the Spe
cial but will send the 3-year-old
Ally after honors in the Queen
Isabella.
Stymie May Be Entered.
Another strong possibility for
Special is Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs'
Stymie, who returned to form by
taking the Gallant Fox Handicap
at Jamaica Saturday. Hirsch Jacobs,
Stymie's trainer, said he would make
his decision tomorrow on whether
the thoroughbred will run.
Practically all of the Nation's best
Jumping horses are eligible for the
Chevy Chase, among them Kent
Miller’s War Battle and Elkridge.
Rokebv Stable's Genancoke, Mrs.
Stephen Clark’s Trough Hill and
T. T. Mott's Floating Isle.
Snow Goose heads the field in
the Queen Isabella and others ex
pected to oppose her include W. L
Brann’s Legendra, Christiana Sta
ble's Camarga and Oberod, C. V
Whitney's Bright Song and Audley
Farm’s Pine Lake.
The Pimlico meeting opens Thurs
day with the l'^-mile Grayson
Stakes, the first of 15 stakes to be
offered during the 13 days.
CONGRATULATIONS!—Elizabeth (Toots) Barger of Baltimore,
No. 1 nationally ranked woman duckpinner, receives a hearty
handshake from Madge Lewis Keir of Washington at Lucky
Strike last night after tha Baltimorean had smashed Madge’s

National Duckpin Marks Rolled
Bv Davis, Recreation Victors
By Ben McAlwee
Two new national 7-game duckpin
scores were in the record- book today
after one of the most unusual hap
penings the little pin game has
known.
No sooner had Elizabeth Barger,
; the country’s No. 1 woman duck
pinner of Baltimore, electrified a
packed gallery at Lucky Strike last
night by winning the 20th annual
Meyer Davis Women's Classic with
a sensational 978 than the news was
flashed from Baltimore that Howard
Parsons of Washington had won the
10th annual Recreation Inaugural
with an equally remarkable 1,091
count.
With games of 136, 152, 144, 126,
126, 148 and 146, Mrs. Barger
eclipsed by 21 pins the former mark
of 957 bowled by Madge Lewis in
the Women's Chesapeake at Balti
more last year.
Parsons in smashing the 1,053
| rolled by Joe La Mastra at Bridge
jport, Conn., in 1940, hit a whirlwind
pace with 120, 164, 146, 164, 190, 151
and 156.
Averaging two pins less than 140
i for her seven strings, Mrs. Barger,
mother of two children, bowled to
an easy victory in the season's first
major tournament for Central
Atlantic women. She received $100
and the Meyer Davis trophy.
Finishing second in a record field
of 58 was Evelyn Saunders of
Rosslyn Ladies’ Major District
League quint with 871. Miss
Saunders fired the tournament's
high game of 170 to win $50 and
the Ellis Goodman cup. Her first
three games totaled 408.
Lucy Rose of Rosslyn with 848
and Kay Luckett, member of King
Pin's leading District loop team
with 842, were amopg the top 10.
Jessie Keith of Rosslyn got a
prize with 148 for high consolation
game.
Arch Rowe of Richmond, whose
’999 count would win most 7-game
tournaments, finished second in
Baltimore's Inaugural, 92 pins
behind.
Six other Capital participants
landed among the 30 prize winners
j in the Oriole test with Leon Fleisher,
seventh, 965; Johnny Burger, 10th,
939; Bub Guethler, 14th, 927; Lind
say Stott, 18th, 920; Paul Perkins,

Lions' Little Goes a Long Way
On Startling Grid Upsets
By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—When
the score of Columbia’s amazing
victory over Army was an
nounced during the dull Penn
Navy tussle Saturday, a New
York writer commented: "Well,
Lou Little has a job for another
18 years now.” Actually it only
has been since New Year Day of
1934 that Lou has been riding
along on an incredible Columbia
Rose Bowl triumph over Stan
ford and the well-deserved repu
tation for getting more out of
less material than any other
coach in the business.
This game should carry Little
just as far unless the Army team
collapses and for the Cadets this
week it will be something more
than just a time when the sol
diers won’t have to worry about
the generals. Earl Blaik will be
taking the Washington and Lee
game very seriously and at the
same time point ahead to Notre
Dame.
More than 4,000 reservations
already have been granted for
the American Bowling Congress
tournament in Detroit. starting
in March and late requests are
arriving at the rate of about 100
a week.
„ Ted Budynkiewicz, a third
string tackle for the “Irish,” is
finding it a bit tough to live up
to the guys who preceded him
to Notre Dame from Cathedral
High in Springfield, Mass. They
were Milt Piepul and Angelo
Bertelli.
Joe McCarthy and Bill Meyer,
the only major league managers
who never played major league
baseball, both were members of
the same Louisville club years
ago.

Rippy and Hair Move
Into Final Round of
Tourney at WGCC
Claude Rippy, the transplanted
Tar Heel who first bossed the District
public links golfers when he became
a Washington resident, went to the
final of the National in his best per
formance, then set the pace for the
country club members when he de
serted muny golf, is in the familiar
role of finalist in the Washington
Golf and Country Club champion
ship.
“The Ripper” now confines his
tournament golf to the club cham
pionship and every year they map
j out a strategy to beat him at Wash
! ington, but Harold Hair is the only
player who has turned the trick.
Hair has another chance next Sun
day when Rippy seeks his fourth
I title in a 36-hole match.
Strictly a week-end golfer, Rippy
is better than an even bet to lower
par every time out over his home
course and he had to be better than
par yesterday to beat Ed Steptoe, 2
and i, in a semifinal match. Step
toe, formerly a golfer of note in New
England, came from behind to square
the match on the Uth hole, but
Rippy’s eagle 3 on the 15th put him
ahead to stay.
Hair, overlooked in the lower
bracket where either Jim Gardner
or Bill McCabe figured to advance
as Rippy’s final round opponent,
defeated McCabe. 1 up, yesterday
after having previously taken care
of Gardner.

Barney Poole Star
In Own Bailiwick
By Aueciotod Brett
OXFORD, Miss., Oct. 27.—Big
Barney Poole, one of tha. Poole
boys of Qloeter, Miss., cavorted
with the great unbeaten Army
teams of 1944*45-46, but had to
return home to become a serious
bidder for all-America football
honors.
Barney was a highly respect
ed performer during his three
years pf regular end play at West
Point, but his star was eclipsed
by such scintillaters as Doc
Blanchard and Glenn Davis.
Today at the University of
Mississippi he is one end of the
Nation’s leading aerial combina
tion—Charley Conerly being the
tossing end—and at last reckon
ing with statistics was the top
receiver in intercollegiate foot
ball.
He snagged another touch
down pass Saturday in the game
Arkansas won at Memphis, 19 to
14, and entered the new week
with this remarkable record—23
passes caught for a total of 208
yards and 6 touchdowns.
Cloud, W.&M.s Mar,
Threatens Gambino
For Scoring Lead
By the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va., Oct, 27.—Jack
(Flying) Cloud, William and Maty’s
All-Southern Conference fullback
from Norfolk, Va„ today threatened
to take the league’s individual
point-making leadership from Lu
Gambino, Maryland's stellar half
back from Baltimore.
Scoring four touchdowns in the
Indians’ last two contests, Cloud
had soared into second place with
42 points for the season, thus trail
ing Gambino, held pointless in two
successive battles, by ohly a single
touchdown—six points.
Six players were tied for third
place, each With 24 points.
Deacons Oppose W. and M.
The big conference game this week
finds Wake Forest’s Deacons, beaten
Saturday by Duke, 13-6, invading
William and Mary at Williamsburg,
Va. The loser Of the struggle, ex
pected to be one of the hottest in
the conference this season, un
doubtedly will drop from the run
ning for the league crown.
A lot of the spotlight this week,
however, will be focused outside of
the loop as Duke, only undefeated
team remaining in the 16-team cir
cuit, journeys to Atlanta to tackle
unbeaten and untied Georgia Tech.
Only a 14-14 tie with Navy keeps
the Dukes from boasting a perfect
record.
Washington and Lee, sharing the
conference lead with Duke with
three victories and no defeats in
family competition, will travel to
West Point to tangle with an Army
eleven that will be smarting from
its first defeat in.33 successive tilts.
N. C. Plays Tennessee.
North Carolina’s Tar Heels, doing
well again after two defeats early
in the season, will play hosts at

Praline Takes Hunter Laurels
With Chevy Chase Show Win
By Angelina J. Carabelli
Praline, John Freeman, jr.’s good
performer from Fredericksburg, Va.,
has the distinction today of being
the champion hunter at the final
local horse show.
Praline bested a large field of top
entries at the second day of the
Chew Chase Hunter Show yester
day at Ray’s Meadow, to finish the
season on top with 1014 points.
One-half point behind was Harry
De Mawby, jr.’s mannerly Day
Dreams.
With John Freeman, jr„ up, Pra
line accounted for the hunter hacks,
placed in the model and open hunt
ers, and was third in the handy
working hunters.
Day Dreams was victorious in the
handy working hunters and the im
portant hunter stake for her re
serve. In addition she was second
in the road hacks and picked up
fourths in the hunter hacks and
the ladies’ hunters.
The well-contested jumping divi
sion was awarded to Marbert
Farm’s Red Haste with eight points.
Marlene Bayliss’ Temptation. Sat
urday’s junior jumper champion,
was in the reserve spot with 5>/2
points.
Bill Sweeney piloted Red Haste to
a win in thi jumper stake and a
place In the modified Olympia.
Temptation was winner in the novice
and second in the warmup.
The high jump class went to 6
feet 6 inches, top of the season.
Helen Eichelberger’s My First Night,
under Fred J. Hughes, jr.’s handling,
was the winner, placing over Viar
wood’s Junior Jack, Blanche John
son’s Valvo and Red Haste.
Mrs. Sherman’s Beale Walk again
was winner of the model class and
took a third in the green hunters.
Mrs. W. T. Kees had a splendid
round on Firetrap to win the ladies'
event. H. O. Firor's Baltimore, Md„
Blue Ridge was victor in both the
hack class and the green hunters.
Mr. and Mrs. George Mueller’s
Ballela, under Gardner Hallman’s
handling, took the open hunter
event and was third in the model.
Charles Gartrell’s Reno Kurd took
over the Maryland State jumper
championship by his win in the i
touch-and-out event,
Caps Bolster Reserve Power
With Acauisition of Ex-Rebel
Washington’s Capitols, Eastern Di
vision pacesetters in the Basket Ball
Association of America last year and
a Western Division entry this year,
square off tonight in an exhibition
test against the National League
Toledo Jeeps at Uline Arena at 8:30,
and the Caps, with a bolstered re
serve strength, are itching for action.
A chap fans are going to see a lot
0f_and there’s a lot of him to see—
is 6-foot 9-inch Irv Rothenberg, who
saw action last year with the now
defunct Cleveland Rebels. Rothen
berg has had plenty of experience,
having played with the Long Island
University quints of 1941-42, the
Army’s Eastern Seaboard Champion
Port Monmouth (N. J.) team in
1942-43, Long Island again, 1943-44,
and finally the Rebels.
Of the Caps Rothenberg says: “As
an aggregation they’re the best
shooters I’ve ever seen, and if they
m ■■ -
play like they played last year, I
don’t see how any one can beat
them.”
Irv, of course, will fit right into
the scheme of things, for one of the
Caps’ weaknesses last year was the
lack of a capable big man to take
some of the strain off John Mahnken
and Bones McKinney.
All the Uline Arena crowd—from
Coach Red Auerbach down to the
man who sweeps the. floor—believes
this year’s team to be stronger than
last year’s.
“The squad has a lot of hustle,”
Auerbach says, “and though all the
teams in the league are tougher this
year, so are we.”.
The Jeeps will feature 6-foot fl
inch Harry Boykoff, All-America
center of last year’s St. John’s Col
lege of Brooklyn team.
Washington Cliftons will meet
Naval Quarter K Barracks in to
night’s opener at 7:15.

Monday Quarterback
V. P. I. Showing Against Terps
Should Silence Kitts' Critics
Maryland, 31; Va. Tech, 19.
The grand showing by underdog
Virginia Tech should silence alumni
criticism of Coach Jimmy Kitts.
He certainly fired up the Gobblers
for this one. They played over
their heads for three periods and
almost had the ball game until
Maryland staged its last-period
comeback and scored two late
touchdowns. For much of the way
the Old Line attack was stymied
by an inspired and hard-charging
Tech line.
Finally, it was Vic Turyn's pass
ing that swung things in Mary
land's favor. He was hitting re
ceivers all afternoon, and they
eventually started holding onto the
ball. Vic is a cool passer under
fire and was at his best at Blacks
burg Saturday. He completed nine
of 18 tosses for 133 yards and two
touchdowns, and set up the other
with passes. Vic also is something
of a fancy ball hander as a T
-formation quarterback.
What actually made the differ
ence in the scoring column was
the three succesful placements for
point after touchdown made bv
Maryland’s Tom McHugh. Until
Saturday that was one department
in which Maryland was weak. Ed
Schwarz was the placement kicker
most of the early season, but con
verted only three times in 10 at
tempts in three games. McHugh
made good on his only try against
Duke, and then hit those three im
portant ones in a row against the
Gobblers. —G. H.
Miami. 28: G. W., 7.
The principal after thought to th«
Colonials’ fifth straight defeat was
not in the score or how they lost bui
the fact that two college footbal
teams that had won one game
between them drew a crowd o;
j 25,746 to the Orange Bowl in Miami
The college football promoters ir
Washington could take a lesson
The fans in Miami turn out ever
to see losing te^ms because they gei
the little extras that help make u;
a pleasant evening.
In addition to a lavish half-tinu
show, there was something doinf
throughout the game. A flgur<
dressed as George Washington hov
ered near the G. W. bench, accom
panied by a buddy who was th<
Spirit of '76. When the game cap
tains walked onto the field, they
were escorted by two pretty co-eds
ar.d a blanket was presented -tc
G.W.’s Carl Butkus.
The call to colors preceded the
National Anthem with an Americar
Legion guard doing the honors. At
halftime the Miami band formed
a head of George Washington and
played “Hail to the Buff.’’ The
next maneuver was to spell out
“Hurricane’’ with a flaming M ol
majorettes in the center.
The field then was surrounded by
majorettes from 5 to 15 years ol
age in white halters and shorts
while 50 more ran onto the field
with flaming batons and the light?
were turned out. Red flares en
circled the field. They had a cannon
for Miami touchdowns and a sirer
that sounded the end of a period
In all it was a refreshing sight

Georgetown, 25; N. Y. U., 0.
“We still need a fullback and t
passeY” commented ' Coach Jaol
Hagerty of Georgetown after thi
-Hoyas had shut out New Yorl
University last Friday, 26-0. "We’v<
got to have a bruiser who csh craci
the line for two-or-three yards, wher
; it’s a matter of getting a first down
or giving the ball to the opposition
on a punt. Not having one has been
a big handicap all season.
“Rab&’s passing has improved." he
continued. “But in these next three
games we’ll need a passer who can
| thread a needle at 30 yards. W#
can't afford to risk wild throws that
might be Intercepted or at least
! waste a down. In other words, we’ve
I got to play our best football of the
season to get over the hump in our
next three games.”
Hagerty’s concern Is caused by the
appearance of Boston College, Villa
nova and George Washington, In
that order, on the Hoya schedule.
If the Hilltoppers aren't up—and up
| on top of their game—for all three
; they’ll have a tough time winning.
It will be tough, anyway.
Johns Hopkins, 47 C. U., 0.
Catholic University’s green eleven
has had the misforturte of bumping
i into tough, well-coached "little”
teams week after week while trying
to get re-established on the grid
iron. The only ray of sunshine in
last Saturday’s 47-0 loss to Johns
Hopkins was the passing of Bill
Frank and the end play of Pat Pal
mer, who also was on the receiving
end of several of Prank’s tosses.
Hopkins not only was deep in re
serves but had speed, power and de
ception. This week, with the veteran
Frank Dobson bringing his Appren
tice School eleven to Brookland,
th£ Cardinals apparently are in for
another dose of the same treatment.
C. U., however, is not as well con
ditioned as it might be. Hopkins
wore it down early in the game and
then won as it pleased. More stam
ina would help the Cards both
offensively and otherwise. L. P. A.
