Ohio State Favorite
As 1,000 Gridders
Open Big Ten Drills
•y th* Associated Pratt
CHICAGO, Sept. 4. —Nearly
1,000 football men. including a
horde of freshmen, romp into fall
practices today and tomorrow!
throughout the Big Ten Confer-'
ence. I
Upward of 300 freshmen opened I
drills Saturday. Upperclassmenl
now report. In this group are
200 lettermen as well as about
150 sophomores representing one]
of the best Conference crops in'
recent years.
The season opens September 29.
when all nine schools face inter-'
sectional rivals before the confer
ence title chase starts. UCLA is
a* Illinois. Indiana at Notre Dame.
Kansas State at lowa, Michigan
State (ineligible for Big Ten foot
ball title competition until 1953)
at Michigan. Washington at Min-j
nesota. Southern Methodist at’
Ohio State, Colorado at North-j
western. Texas at Purdue and
Marquette at Wisconsin.
Frosh Have Little Chance.
Freshmen are eligible for varsity
competition this season, a con
cession made in the face of an
increased military draft. How
ever the draft and enlistments
have not taken as many gridders
as expected. As the result, very,
few fresnmen are in line for
varsity berths, the majority being
relegated to junior varsity squads.
Wisconsin and lowa, each with
26 back in harness, have the iftost
returning lettermen. Ohio State
has 25, Illinois 23 and Michi
gan 22.
Ohio State ranks as a prime
favorite to take the Big Ten crown
with 16 fine-looking sophomores
supplementing the rest of the
squad. All-America Halfback Vicj
Janowicz heads the returning t
monogram wearers, who also in-'
elude Quarterback Tony Curcillo,
Halfback Walt Klevay and Line
men Julius Wittman, . Sherwin
Gandee and Capt. Bob Heid. {
Illinois, Wisconsin Liked.
Illinois and Wisconsin may give
the Buckeyes the most trouble in
the race to the title and in some
pre-season figuring rate as high
or higher than Ohio State.
The Illini are blessed with 27
sophomores, but they need a good
punter and a crashing fullback to
replace Rocky Raklovitz. Half
backs Johnny Karras and Don
Stevens return along with such
excellent linemen as Joe Cote, Eliel
Popa and Chuck Ulrich.
Toppipg Wisconsin’s squad are
Quarterback John Coatta, End
Gene Felker and Guard Bill Gable,
a 205-pounder unable to compete
in 1950 because of a knee injury, j
Michigan's losses included Backs
Chuck Ortmann and Don Dufek
and All-America Tackle A1 Wahl.
The main problem is finding a
competent replacement at the keyj
left half spot for Ortmann.

Parnell Beats Nats Again.
Mel Parnell, who hasn't lost to
the Nats since midseason of 1949.
beat Washington for the eighth
straight time in yesterday’s
opener. Dick Starr allowed three
runs in the first inning when
!Johnny Pesky walked, Bobby
Doerr doubled him across and
Walt Dropo slammed a home run.
That uprising was the ball
game, it developed. Starr and
Sandy Consuegra stopped the Red
iSox thereafter, but Parnell tossed
eight scoreless innings at the
;Nats, w-ho got their only runs with
one out in the ninth after Pete!
Runnels singled and Clyde Kiuttz
doubled.
Ellis Kinder replaced Parnell
and was greeted by Pinch-Hitter!
Mike Guerra s single, which scored
Runnels and Pinch-Runner;
Sherry Robertson. The threat
died, however, when Eddie Yost
slapped a double-play grounder at
Kinder.
Red Sox Take 8-1 Lead.
The Red Sox compiled an 8-1,
lead in the second game against;
Bob Porterfield anti Julio Moreno.
Porterfield was getting no worse
than a 1-1 draw with Chuck
Stobbs clipped him on the right
elbow in the third inning. Then,
the Red Sox pounded Bob for two
, runs on doubles by Pesky and Billy
Goodman and singles by Doerr
and Dropo.
Boston’s lead mounted to 6-1
in the sixth when Dom DiMaggio
across two runs and Doerr
scored another with a long fly to
Mike McCormick in right field.
Aaron Robinson’s homer featured
,a two-run splurge against Moreno
'in the seventh.
The Nats got three runs in the
with two out. Eddie Yost
[ walked and after Cass Michaels
1 and Gil Coan went out, Sam Mele
and Mickey Vernon singled apd
McCormick doubled. Kinder fin
ished up for Stobbs, who retired
1 w'ith a sore elbow.
Washington finished activity for
the year at Fenway Park with a
2-9 record. The Nats have lost
15 of 19 games with the Red Sox
this season.

Terps and Colonials
Hunt Replacements
For Lost Kickers
Both Head Football Coaches'
Bo Rowland of George Washing
ton and Jim Tatum of Maryland
are in the market for punters to
replace players who have been ,
graduated. Johnny Shullenbarger
did the booting for the Colonials
last season and Jack Targarona
for the Terrapins.
At GW It appears the task will
be handled that jack-of-all
work. Handy Andy Davis. Early
practice sessions have turned up
no one-else who can do It as well
as he.
Davis for the last three years
has been the Colonials’ star run
ner and passer, in addition to
playing safety man on defense.
Kicking, if he does it for George
Washington this season, will be no!
new assignment for Davis. He
hasn’t handled that task much at
GW. but at Tech High School,
where he starred before going to 1
George Washington, he was the!
team’s main kicker his last two
years.
Coach Tatum at Maryland hasn’t
settled on a kicker yet, but he is
openly pleased with Fred Heffner,
a sophomore from Sacton. Pa.
Heffner, an end on last year's
freshman team, has been averag
ing ovfer 50 yards from scrimmage
with his practice boots. Another
Pennsylvania getting good dis
tance is Leland Leibold, a left- f
footed kicker from Smokeless. Pa.
The Terrapins were run through
a 30-minute scrimmage yesterday,
with their coacn trying out offen
sive linemen. Among those who
seemed to fill the bill was All-
America Guard Bobby Ward. Bill
Moletzky and Ed Kensler, both
guards; Dick Modzelewski, the big
tough tackle who filled in very
well when Ray Krouse was injured
; last year, and End John Alderton.
All are holdovers.
