Favored to Extend
Long Win Streaks
fty th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Notre
Dame and Michigan are favored
to extend their long unbeaten
streaks tomorrow at the expense
of Pacific Coast opponents.
The Fighting Irish, who haven't
dropped a decision since Great
Lakes beat them 39-7 in the 1945
final, ruled a 27-point choioe over
Washington at Seattle.
A more interesting afternoon is
expected for the national
champion Michigan Wolverines,
who are a scant 7-point favorites
to win their 25th straight against
Stanford’s sophomores at Stan
ford.
The resourceful Wolverines had
trouble in their opener last week
with Michigan State winning 7-3,
but they are renowned as slow
starters.
Army, Oklahoma and California
are other powerhouses who are
lop-sided favorites in week-end
games as college football vies with
the hottest double-barreled major
league baseball finish in history.
The Cadets, tied only by Navy
last year, are host to Penn State
and are a solid two-touchdown
favorite.
Oklahoma Big Choice.
Oklahoma’s split-T magicians,
who romped over Boston College
last Saturday night, are rated
27% points better ttyn Texas A.
and M. in the game at Norman,
Okla.
California’s Golden Bears rate
a 14-point edge over Oregon State
in their Pacific Coast clash.
In the East, other headline
games are figured this way:
Brown 12% over Holy Cross,
f Cornell 14% over Colgate, Navy
| 6% over Princeton, Pennsylvania
5 6% over Dartmouth.
North Carolina, Tulane and
Tennessee are favored to win the
big games in the Sputh.
The N. C. Tar Heels, with
Charley (Choo Choo) Justice at
the throttle, are figured 6% points
better than Georgia in their en
tanglement at Chapel Hill.
Tulane is 14% ovdr Georgia
Tech despite the Yellow Jacket’s
good showing in upsetting Van
derbilt last week. The rebound
ing Tennessee Vols are 6 Vi over
Duke. Mississippi rules a one
touchdown choice over Kentucky.
8. M. U. Picked Over Missouri.
Southern Methodist is expected
to win an inter-conference test
with Missouri, a 7%-point under
dog. Rice Is an 18-point favorite
over Louisiana 8tate and Baylor
is 7% over Mississippi 8tate.
Northwestern, Minnesota and
Ohio 8tate are favored to prevail
in major mid-west battles.
Northwestern’s Rose Bowl Cham- i
pions are a three touchdown pick'
over Pittsburgh. Minnesota is 281
points over Nebraska and Ohio;
State is rated 24 points over1
Indiana. , ... j
Kansas is a slight choice over:
Iowa State and Purdue is a one
touchdown favorite over Iowa.
In Coast games, Oregon is a
slight favorite over U. C. L. A.,
which has won its first two starts
i npressively, and Southern Cali
.ornia is a three touchdown pick
over Washington State.
The U. C. L. A.-Oregon game at
' is Angeles headlines the Friday
rht card. In other major games
right, Boston College plays Wake
est at Easton, Georgetown is at
yland and Villanova is at
.roit.

course, the Hoyas have their bril
liant running back. Billy Conn,
who scored twice against the Cru
saders; Lou Miller, the little fellow
from Baltimore who made valu
able yardage against Holy Cross,
and the hard-runnnig Dick Barba.
; Guards Bob Fortunate and Dick
j Imbomoni are the standouts in
the Hoys line. Both teams are
fortunate in having good punters,
with Lou Surman Georgetown’s
dependable kicker and Earl Roth,
with a 45-yard average last week,
handing the punting for the Terps.
The Hoyas lead 11-3 in the over
all series, 5-3 iif the modern, inter
rupted after the Hoyas won 21-0

Baltimore Mayor
Launches Drive for
t
Browns' Franchise
ly the Atiocioted Press
BALTIMORE. Sept. 30.—The
city launched another campaign
today to get the St. Louis Browns
baseball franchise in the Ameri
can League moved to Baltimore.
“I am hereby throwing Balti
more’s hat into the ring,” Mayor
Thomas D’Alesandro announced.
‘‘We want to put this city back
into the majors, where it belongs.
‘‘Right now I am starting a
campaign to get Baltimore into
the American League.
‘‘I cannot reveal the source of
my information, but I know
Baltimore will get consideration if
a change is made.
‘‘I know this is a big league city
in both baseball and football.”
He added that major league
officials have asked for baseball
and football attendance figures
here.
The mayor said he would set out
to accomplish two things
that would enhance Baltimore’s
chances:
1. Commit $800,000 on hand in
the city’s Municipal Stadium fund
tot the purchase of 20,000 more
sea)# for. t&e bowl, which is now
being overhauled. The lonfe
range-plan is for about 70,000 sdats.
2. Float a second bond issui to
complete the overhaul job.
What of Baltimore's Interna
tional League Orioles, who drew
50,000 and 60,000 to the stadium
when they were involved in the
playoffs back in 1945?
The mayor suggested that Jack
Dunn, 3d, principal owner of the
Orioles and member of the city’s
No. 1 baseball family, ought to
have an opportunity to invest in
the new franchise. Dunn’s grand
father operated the Orioles back
in the days when there was a sharp
rivalry with a Baltimore team in
the old Federal League—then on a
par with, but outlawed by the Na
tional and American.
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Mil
waukee, Los Angeles and Dallas
also have their eye on the St. Louis
franchise.
Baltimore did some dickering
two years ago for the St. Louis
spot but nothing came of It.
Dunbar to Risk Streak
In 2 Games Next Week
Dunbar High School is off to a
good start in the 1949 football
season. Dunbar beat Phelps last
week in its first District Negro
Public High League game and
yesterday set down an invading
Bates team of Annapolis. 12-0, at
Brooks Stadium.
Dunbar scored In the first quar
ter and again in the second period.
Dunbar will meet Parker-Gray at
Brooks Stadium next Tuesday and
travel to Douglas of Baltimore on
October 14.

6. W. Polishing Ground Attack,
Keydets May Feature Passes
Although both lost their open
ing games last week, neither
George Washington University
nor Virginia Military Institute
appears gloomy heading into their
game tomorrow night at Lynch
burg. Aside from the final score
of 27-13 by which they were
beaten at Virginia last week, the
Colonials found plenty to be
pleased about and should have at
least an even chance against the
Keydets.
The passing combination of
Andy Davis to Charley Jones
probably will be tried again to
morrow night and should be good
for plenty of yardage. The Colo
nials also are due for more ground
gaining than the minus 8 yards
they registered last week. Last
week they ran into a seven-man
line and elected to travel by air,
but tomorrow night they likely
will give the ball toters such as
Davis. Jones, A1 Dugoff and Bill
Shaw more chances to carry the
mail,
LEXINGTON, Va.. Sept. 30—
V. M. I.’s Keydets are pleased
about the 14-7 margin to which
they held powerful Quantico
Marines last week. The Keydets
themselves amassed nearly twice
as many first downs as Quantico
and take that as an indication
that they should go all right
against the Colonials tomorrow
night at Lynchburg.
Coach Tom Nugent says “there’s
nothing wrong w|th us that a
couple of touchdowns won’t cure,”
and indicates he was pleased with
the way his line played. He also
had a good word for Halfback
Fred Anson, an all around good
player; Neal Petree, sophomore
end who is turning in fancy block
ing; Jay Grumbling, another soph
flanker who shines on defense, and
Ray Tamilus, veteran fullback
and a fine ball toter.
V. M. I. coaches figure their
chances of victory tomorrow
night depend on whether they
can stop Davis’ passing, and they
have been working on aerial de
fenses all weak. Polish also has
been added to the Keydets own
passing game. Joe Veltri’s short
ones connected beautifully against
Quantico last week, but his dis
tant ones usually failed to find
a receiver and they’ve been try
ing to correct that this week.

No matter how experienced one
is at any game, there is always
another from whom much can be
learned. We had a lesson in troll
ing for rockflsh
on the other
day and still
are trying to

fort t o find
some variable
which might
account for our

of Chesapeake pleach with Capt.
Bert Lamb who headed without
hesitation for Holland Point at
the lower end of .Herring Bay.
From 3 p.m. until 6:15 we landed
43 stripers running from little
fellows up to 3-pounders and one
bluefish. We released probably
15 little rockflsh although they
were legal length. Our lures were
No. 2/0, all-white Lusby Lures
fished at the end of 9-foot nylon
leaders. It was all blind trolling
in from 4 to 12 feet of water. In
the shallow water we used no lead,
but clipped on 2 ounces when jig
ging over the deeper hole.
There were other boats fishing
right along with us using exactly
the same lures and rigs over the
same ground. We checked with
them later at the dock. The
nearest number of rockflsh caught
was four. Two of the boats had
one each and one had three fish.
Under the circumstances, our
catch of 44 was remarkable, and
might be considered luck except

for the fact that Capt. Lamb
seems to be able to take rockfish
consistently when others fail. He
jigs his lure at the rate of from
30 to 35 times per minute, keep
ing his boat circling constantly,
and the boat is kept at a speed
just sufficient to take up the slack
of each jig in time for the next
one. We believe it is the handling
of the boat which is the variable
factor that brings success as we
can find no others which were not
duplicated on every other boat
fishing that afternoon. In any
event we were a part of an un
usual experience and learned a
lot thanks to Capt. Lamb. In
cidentally, we believe these fish
will remain in this vicinity until
cold weather drives them out.
Maryland's dove and squirrel
seasons both end today, and this
well may be the last season in
which that State’s present license
fees will be in effect. The Game
and Inland Pish Commission has
recommended to the legislative
counci> that non-resident hunting
licenses be increased from $15.50
to $20 and county hunting licenses
from $1.25 to $1.75. It is also pro
posed to raise the non-resident
fishing license from $5.50 to $10.
Reasons given are the recent in
creases in license fees charged by
Virginia and Pennsylvania which
are throwing increasing angling
and hunting pressure into Mary
land, especially by District of Co
lumbia and Pennsylvania" sports
men. As is usual. District of Co
lumbia hunters and fishermen are
caught in the middle.
“North American Waterfowl,”
just off the press of Stackpole &
Heck, is from the pen of a man
personally known to thousands of
wildfowlers throughout the United
States. Written by Albert M. Day,
director of the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service, it is Al’s
answer to more than 2,000,000
duck hunters who want to know
how we can get more birds, have
longer seasons and larger bag
limits. It hi not an apology, but
a challenge to the wildfowling
fraternity to pitch in and help
perpetuate the sport. Al’s favorite
sport is duck hunting and his
book cannot help but bring added
understanding and enjoyment to
any participant in this great sport.
Ding Darling says it is the best
book on ducks he ever has seen,
which is about the highest recom
mendation it can possibly have.

Victory-Hungry Navy
Hopes to Explode
Against Princeton
Special Dispatch to The Star
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 30.—Navy's
football players obviously are tense
as they wind up preparations for
tomorrow’s game against Prince
ton at Baltimore’s Babe Ruth Sta
dium. "We may explode Satur
day,’* said Navy Coach George
Sauer yesterday, "and if we do.
Navy will be an entirely different
team.
“We need a victory badly,’* he
added. “We need it for a success
ful season.”
The Middies, who have achieved
only one tie and lost every other
game since early in the 1947 sea
son, worked long and hard yester
day. They were on the practice
field until after dark, drilling in
secret on the strategy they hope
will carry them to their first vic
tory in 16 games.
Of the 11 players who lined up
for the 42-20 losing effort against
Southern California last week,
only Capt. Phil Ryan at right end
and Jim Hunt at right tackle had
tenioyedj previous varsity experi
ence. It was mistakes by a young
gey that hurt some, last yeek, and
they’ll be better this week.
There could be three veterans
deployed against the Tigers in to
morrow’s starting lineup, with
Harrison Fr&sier, a first-string
tackle all last season, challenging
Ronnie Andresen for the left-end
assignment.
While Navy was losing its opener
last week, Princeton started with
a 26-14 triumph over Lafayette.
The two teams did not meet last
year.
New C. U. Grid Talent
Will Face Patuxent
Although Coach John Jankow
ski won’t name Catholic Univer
sity’s starting lineup for tomor
row’s curtain-raiser at Patuxent
Naval Air Base until after today’s
workout, at least four names are
expected to appear on the list.
Lou McCarthy is giving veteran
“Scrappy” Scoppotuolo a battle
for a guard berth and Willie Poms
seems to have the other clinched.
George Elliott and Gene Higgins
have been outstanding at tackle
and Hank Quinn apparently has
stepped into empty shoes left at
center by Bulldog Daley.
Russ Johnson’s offensive play
at end and Ed Boegel’s play at
tackle also have impressed Jan
kowski and both are certain to see
service tomorrow. In the backfleld,
Pat O’Hara has shown improve
ment at fullback, while both
Bucky Ennis and Whitey Huber
have improved tremendously in
their blocking. Bill DeYoung still
is the big boy on defense.
Patuxent routed Baltimore
Junior College, 26-0, in Its debut
last week and Jankowski, who saw
the game, reports the Sailors have
a big team. He’s hoping the
Cards can offset Patuxent’s weight
advantage by a smart running at
tack.
and blues in the Bay along with
some good trout. A big -school
of large trout has been reported
recently below Breezy Point. Best
bet for blues and trout together
with chances for some rockflsh
are probably to be had from Her
ring Bay on down to Point Look
out. We need some cooler weather
for the big rockflsh to. school up
and really start hitting. The
northeaster of this week may start
the ball rolling.
