Strong Field in Line

jWeeks' Tank Meet
The men’s junior National 110
yard backstroke championship,
which will be staged Monday night
at Takoma Park pool in conjunction
j with the sixth annual A. Earle
Weeks Memorial swimming meet,
has attracted entries from Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Baltimore and the District.
Among the favorites for the big
title is Jesse Greenbaum, University
of North Carolina ace, who will
represent the Lakewood Club of
Baltimore. Another strong contend
er is Henry Whitton of Plainfield,
N. J, no stranger to national com
petition. who is making his debut
in the Weeks meet.
Jay Thomas of Baltimore will be
another experienced contender. Last
month he faced the country’s best

Club of Washington, the only 1947
meet winner in the men’s division,
faces strong opposition in the 220

crown in 1944-5. Another tough
man to beat at this distance will be
Milton Michaelis, former Central
High ace who has held District
AAU sprint championships several
years. Michaelis, competing unat

Edwards Impressed by Size
Of Several of His Redskins
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, July 30.—Only a third
of the way across the continent,
enroute to their California training
camp, the Redskins already are
talking big about the 1948 National
Football League title race. Head
Coach Turk Edwards started it
after watching the advance guard
of his squad squeeze through the
gates yesterday at Union Station.
Mr. Edwards, no midget himself,
is an ardent admirer of heft on the
football field and if there is any
thing he likes more than a good big
player, it is a better and bigger foot
ball played. They look big enough,
he commented, critically eyeing
Ernie Williamson.
"That Williamson must weigh 260
pounds," he said, "and if he hasn't
i lost the mean streak he had last
1 year he'll be a good tackle this sea
son. And did you see those rookie
tackles—Mike Katrishen, Gene Ve
lella and Mike Rusos? If they only
can play a little bit we can use
them.” »
Clyde Ehrhardt seemed in fine
fettle although curiously enough he
lost about 20 pounds during his
year's lay-off. The big center from
Georgia says he lost only fatty tis
sue and that his current poundage
of 220 is just about right.
Koniszewski Now Mountainous.
Big John Koniszewski, fornter G.
W. Tackle and another Redskin
| making a comenack after sitting
lout the '47 season, has increased to
! 255 pounds, most of it ■solid beef.
Koniszewski ran for sheriff in
Scranton but lost by a mere 1,000
votes. Politics, he confessed, can be
a whole lot tougher than football.
The hulking linemen made Dick
Poillon and Harry Gilmer look like
young autograph hunters. Poillon,
however, is a solid 193-pounder and
while Gilmer comes in at a scant
167, it, too, is all muscle.
Jim Castiglia is not in the party
and probably to through as a Red
skin. The broad-beartied fullback
sent President George Marshall a
telegram wishing the Redskins luck
in '48 so there are no hard feelings.
Castiglia had permission to make a
deal for himself with any other club
in the league.
Roy McKay, the punting fullback
obtained from Green Bay, seems to
be in the pink and hardly can wait
to teli Sammy Baugh about the
calf-roping contest he won two
weeks ago. McKay to expected to
make a strong bid for the No. 1
fullback Job this season.
McGowan Won't Talk.
Umpire Bill McGowan—and you
Know what happened to him re
cently—was on the train to Chicago
and in no mood for ^talking either
off or on the record. But the gab
fest got around to baseball and um
pires and reminded Turk Edwards
of his first meeting with Umpire Cal
Hubbard who with Turk was picked
on Grantland Rice all-time pro
team. “I was hitting Cal while
leading the interference on end runs
in a Redskin-Greenbay game, my
first year in the league,” Turk re
called. "He was a good big target
but I was taking as much of a
beating as he was. Every time I
was hit he went one way and I
went the other.”
After five or six collisions Cal
picked himself up, looked over at
ne and said, "We've got to stop
this stuff or neither one of use will
live very long.”
Line Coach Frank (Tiger) Walton
who joined the squad with End Paul
McKee at Pittsburgh was line coach
at Geneva College when Hubbard
was head football coachthere. When
Hubbard’s baseball umpiring inter
fered with his college work he
turned the job over to Tiger.
Hubbard at one time was ap
pointed « an official for National
Football League games, but he didn’t
last long. It kept him from hunt
ing in the autumn and he wouldn’t
I permit anything to do that.
Golfer Thinks He's Best in Club
If Opponent Drives for Him
By Merrell Whittlesey
Rav Moore, a golfer who probably
falls under the classification of "en
thusiast,” is under 80 more often
than he is over at his home Con
gressional course, but he feels he
would be a par shooter if he only
could drive with any consistency.
That prompted a wager the other
day that he would play any golfer
in the club, pro or amateur, if the
opponent would hit two balls off
each tee and Moore would play the
better of the two. .That meant
Moore was bound to be at least as
well off, and usually better, than his
opponent from the second shot
through the cup.
Leo Walper, who is more noted
for taking bad bets than good ones,
naturally accepted the challenge
and finally beat Moore, 2 up, on the
18th hole. But Ray wasn’t con
vinced and the challenge still
stands. He'll play any golfer at
Congressional if the rival will ‘hit
two tee shots and let Moore take the
! better.
Women's par, that inconspicuous
column on every scoreboard, is all
wet most of the local clubs and
Women’s District Golf Association
President Mrs. W. F. Patterson plans
i to do something about it.
Mrs. Patterson claims some of the
handicaps are far off because the
women are playing to obviously un
fair par figures—too easy in most
cases. That gives the golfing girls
at courses where the par is correct
an advantage in handicap tourna
ments, as their stroke allowances
are much closer to being correct.
Golfers who know the course can
tell after a glance at the following
figures that several of the women’s
par totals are several strokes off.
Chevy Chase (77),' Columbia (76),
Congressional (76), Belle Haven (75),
! Army-Navy (75), Argyle (77), In
dian Spring (72), Kenwood (75),
Manor (74), Washington (75), Wood
month (77) and Prince Georges
(75).
Mrs. Patterson plans to get a
foursome of the District's top women
golfers to play each course and base
women’s par on their shot-making
efforts.
Bob Jacobs swears this one is
true, albeit it may have happened
before.
It seems a golfer was playing
Belle Haven the other day and after
a particularly bad shot he walked
over to the caddie cart he was pull
ing and gave it a swift kick, knock
ing it over and scattering his clubs.
His partner asked him why he
did that and the fellow replied:
“That d- thing gave me the
wrong club again.”
DIVGT DATA—The Middle At
lantic PGA Pro-Amateur next Fri
day at Columbia Country Club will
find the host club supplying one
partner and the pros bringing one
scratch partner. Columbia will up
the prize money by $100. ;. . Prince
Georges President Lou Eisele re
ports the touring pros put on a
real show following the Reading
Open last week with entertainment,
songs by Jimmy Demaret and Bobby
Locke and even a smile from Ben
Hogan (the winner). . . . Since

Potomac less than three weeks agp,

Milton Logan left East Potomac
for a new job in Ohio. . . . Bethesda
