Manor Club Title Caps
Thornton's Best Year
In Tournament Golf
George Thornton Is enjoying
his most productive year as a
tournament golfer, not because
he’s changed his swing, or found
the secret, but because he has
been making those important
putts at the right moments.
Thornton won the Manor Club
title yesterday, beating W. B.
McFerren, sr., 2 up, in the final.
Last month he qualified for the
National Amateur championship
for the first time and won two
matches in 1 Detroit. Earlier in
the season' he and Ray Moore
were finalists in the Congres
sional Member-Guest tourna
ment.
The 41-year-old Army Map
Service employe gave an example
yesterday of his timely putting.
He three-putted the first green
and after nine holes had not
made a single putt of any length.
Thornton was 1 down going to
the 14th and trapped to the
right of the green in 2. McFer
ren was 3 feet from the pin in
3 after a nice chip shot. George
blasted out of the trap, 10 feet
froip the cup and knocked in the
putt. McFerren missed and in
stead of being 2 down, which
appeared likely, Thornton was
even.
On the 16th hole, Thornton
went to sleep on a long approach
putt and left it 8 feet short and
3 feet to the right of the cup.
But he made the second putt to
stay even, and then w r on the 17th
and 18th holes for the match.
Last year when both were mem
bers of Indian Spring Club, from
which they have since resigned.
McFerren beat Thornton, 2 and
1. in the 36-hole final for the
Indian Spring title.
Thornton, who had defeated
McFerren’s eldest son Bill, jr.,
in the semifinals, was about 5
over par for the match and Mc-
Ferren 8 over, although both
played better than the scores
indicate.

a month ago and slipped in with
two late rounds to take the medal
in the Army Navy Club cham
pionship qualifying with 72-74,
146.
Gen. Brown’s 2-over-par score
was one stroke under Col. How
ard F. Schiltz, who had 72-75
157. Pairings will be made to
night and match play begins
next week end. Col. H. F. Nich- !
ols,' the defending champion, was

Wayne McGee, Bethesda
Country Club’s active golf chair
man, who is leaving this week
end for permanent residence in
Florida, staged a nine-hole relay
against time yesterday as one of
his final official acts at the club. ;
club.
McGee stationed 15 players
around the back nine. At a
signal a player drove from the
10th tee, another ran to the ball
and hit the second shot, another
was near the green for an ap
proach and another putted.
Each player had to hit about
three shots in the nine.
More than 50 members took
part in a pool to guess the time
and all guesses were above the
total. Mrs. Arthur Alley guessed
9 minutes, the closest, and the 1
time was 7 minutes and 54 sec
onds. Nobody kept score.
Alan Weisberg became the first
player to shoot the new Norbeck
Club course in 72 as he paired
36s yesterday for an unofficial
course record. He had 12 pairs/
three birdies and three bogeys.

back, and Sal
Lombardi, 5- * red Mulvey
foot-10, 150-pound halfback, are
the backbone of Western’s team.
Eight players up from the jay
vees might be of some help and
that's it.
“We will have to go oh speed—
that and a bit of deceptfbn on
the execution of plays,” Mulvey
said. “The line is very light and
we have no power in the back
field.”
“Jenkins, Folk, Deuel and
Lombardi will carry the brunt
of the work this year. We
haven’t any one else at this time
with enough experience.”
Deuel to Play Fullback.
Deuel, a halfback last year,
is to be converted into a full
back. He suffered a serious j
kidney injury in the Coolidge j
game last year, but has com- j
pletely recovered. He will wear
a pad, however, as a precaution i
but should see plenty of action
both on offense and defense.
With Lombardi at the other
halfback spot will be Ronnie '
McDuffie, 5-foot-10 and 155
pounds. The quarterback slot
will probably be filled by Bobby
Lomax, 5-foot-7, 160 pounds. He
Is the brother of Hop Lomax, a
former basketball star at West
ern and now a basketball official.
Bobby Lomax is up from the
jayvees.
Two Backs Promising.
Two other backfield candidates
from the jayvees should stick
with the varsity this year. They
are John Lewis, 5-foot-d, 155
pounds, and Ray Lombardi,
i brother of Sal, 'S-foot-10, 140
j pounds. Lewis will be worked
in as a halfback or fullback and
Ray Lombardi as a quarterback.
Five linemen from the jayvees
I should make the squad. They
are Dick Twitchell and Sonny
Best, guards; John Healy and
Bill Johnston, ends, and Dick
Painted, center. They average
only 155 pounds. Other line
! candidates include Bill King and
Fred Dibbs, tackles; Bill Lally,
a guard, and A1 Dibbs, brother
! of Fred, an end. The schedule:
6*pt. 19—At Friends. 3:30.
Bept. 24—At Eastern. 3:30.

Oct. B—Chamberlain. 3:15.

Injuries, Draft Calls
Plague Redskins in
Drills for Packers
By Lewis F. Atchison
Star Stoff Correspondent
CHAPEL HILL, N. C., Sept. 7.
—lnjuries and draft calls con
tinue to plague the Redskins in
their preparations sos Saturday
night’s fifth exhibition game of
the season with the Green Bay
Packers at Raleigh.
A1 Dorow, making his first
start on defense, suffered a
painful hip bruise when Jhe fell
after trying to intercept a pass,
and Rookie Tackle Harry Jag-,
ielski of Indiana was summoned
home to Chicago by his draft
board for his pre-induction
physical exam. Rookie Halfback
Roger Doraburg of Chicago re
ceived his draft greetings Sun
day. Both were well on their way
to winning regular berths with
the team.
Dorow .changing over from quar
terback to halfback, wa% being
coached in an individual drill
when injured. The former Mich
igan State star, just recovering
from a siege of weak ankles, fell
heavily and X-rays may be
made today to determine if the
injury is more serious than a
bruise. He found it painful to
put weight on his right foot yes
terday.
Unofficially, it was 101 in the
shade at the motel where the
Redskins are quartered, and
Chuck Erickson, North Carolina
University’s director of ath
letics, called yesterday the hot
test day of the year. But Coach
Joe Kuharich ordered an extra
workout for backfleld men in the
afternoon. The coach wants
more protection for the passer
and better blocking on running
plays. It was tough on the boys
but Kuharich thought it nec
essary. i
Guard Slug Wituckfrand Line
backer Chuck Drazenovich, who
were left in Washington to have
their injured knees by
Doc Lentz, trainer for the
Washington Senators, will re
join the squad here today.
They’ll continue treatments
under Trainer Joe Kuczo and
will not play against the Pack
ers. End Sam Morley of Stan
ford, getting over an operation
to mend a shoulder separation,
also is here but not ready for
action.

Victory Over Ottawa
Gives Montreal Lead
In Big Four League
By the Associated Press
OTTAWA. Sept. 7.—The Mon
treal Alouettes now stand alone
at the top of Canada’s Big Four
pro football league following
their second straight victory
over the Ottawa Rough Riders,
20-11, last night.
'At Hamilton, Ontario, the To
ronto Argonauts moved into sec
ond place by trimming the Ham
ilton Tiger-Cats, 21-7.
Alex Webster, former North
Carolina State star, picked up
much of Montreal’s rushing
yardage with fast plunges
through the line, but two of the
Alouette touchdowns were scored
by Chuck Hunsinger and the
other by Hal Patterson.
Ottawa’s touchdowns were
scored by Johnny Gramling of
South Carolina and Bob Simp
son.
In the game at Hamilton a
strong ground attack led by
Gene Wilson of South Carolina,
Billy Cross. ex-Chicago Cardi
nal. and Dick Shatto was the
feature of the Argos’ victory.
Norb Hecker, who jumped from
the Redskins to Canada, con
verted after three touchdowns.
In the Western Interprovincial
Football Union, Regina took over
undisputed possession of first
place by beating the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers, 18-14, yesterday.
The victory moved Coach Frank
Filchock’s team out of a first
place tie with the Bombers.
Fran Tripucka, formerly of
Notre Dame and the Chicago
Cardinals, was the star for Re
gina with his passes setting up
scoring chances. The veteran Joe
Aguirre tied the league record
with four field goals.
In the other Western game,
the Edmonton Eskimos came
from behind with two touch
downs in the last quarter to nip
the Vancouver Lions, 12-6, at
Edmonton.

looking more and more for play
ers who can go both ways, of
fense and defense, and, if need
be. play more than one position.
He’s got to have them to sur
vive under present unsettled
conditions.
“In years to come a team will
have 23 or 24 two-way men and
only eight or nine specialists,”
Joe says. “It’s got to be that
way because you’ve always got
three to five men on the bench
with injuries and you’ve got to
have somebody to take their
places.”
It isn’t a new idea in pro foot
ball, Joe points out. Even the
Detroit Lions, two-time cham
pions with a wealth of. draft
free material, use Jim Martin,
Lou Creekmur and Leon Hart
both ways. Tackles “Moose”
Connors of the Bears and Leo
Nomellini of the Forty-Niners
do the same.
“There are situations that can
best be handled by these play
ers,” Kuharich says, “so they use :
them. Why keep a guy like Hart, j
who can grab that short pass j
and go, on the bench just be- !
cause he’s listed as a defensive
end? That would be silly.”
** * *
The Redskins are continuing
to discover players capable of
changing positions without
weakening the team. One of
their most valuable utility men
is the veteran Joe Tereshinski,
who plays either end, offense or
defense, and who can back up
the line. Rookie Ken Barfield,
who plays either tackle, was
moved to guard when Slug Wi
tucki was injured and showed
that with a little more schooling
he can handle the position. Paul
Lipscomb, long typed as strictly
a defensive tackle, got a lot of
fun and did a lot of damage to
the opposition as a defensive end,
and now. with Harry Jagielski
Army-bound, Paul may have to
pitch in and help out on of
fense.
Jim Ricca is another whose
hidden talents have been dredged
up in the search for all-around
men. Numerous experts gave
the husky Georgetown lineman
no chance at all of making the
grade in pro ranks because he
was generally overlooked in col
lege. But from middle-guard on
defense, Ricca has successively
and successfully played offensive
tackle and defensive end.
Chet Ostrowski, rookie end
from Notre Dame, is another
who goes both ways when called
on, and the latest convert—by
Kuharlch’s order—is Quarter
back A1 Dorow,.who has been
moved to halfback.
** * *
The more Kuharich searches
to fill gaps left by injuries and
departures, the more convinced
he is that two-way players,
rather than specialists, are tht
i answer to professional football’s
; personnel problems.
