PITT TOP HEAVY CHOICE
TO DEFEAT MIDDIES
L. S. U. Won’t Replay
G. W. U. ’Cause of
Rough Game
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor
CHAPEL HILL, N. C., Nov. 17.—Can Louisiana State
take it?
They will never, never, so long as you or I survive, or
they either, play George Washington University another
game of football.

Kirk Miller
a percentage than that required in Washington.
The ball park claims it loses money keeping its park open
for football. But it doesn’t close its gates therefor.
Griffith has promised Catholic University a new deal in
the choice of dates for the park next season when it is to
be thrown open on a first come, first serve policy.
Meanwhile all three D. C. col- 1
leges are putting in bids several
years in advance so none can
claim they didn’t have in their
requests—first.
Everything Happened
But the reason Louisiana
State doesn’t want any more of
George Washington is because
the bites and bruises and kicks
and abrasions the Bayou Tigers
took back with them to Baton
Rouge were something to make
even an intern gasp.
Many of them as a result of
unnecessary roughness—is the
feeling in the Louisiana camp.
That is why I ask—Can L. S. U.
take it?
But Louisiana CAN take the
sweet guarantees WITH PRIVI
LEGES offered in Washington,
and so is wooing Catholic Uni
versity for a game there some
time in the not too distant fu
ture.
Also L. S. U. doesn’t like the
1.300-odd passes or deadheads
who were admitted to Griffith
Stadium last Saturday—Louis
iana figures, my friends, not
mine.
Who? What? Where?
What prominent sports pro
moter in Washington is going
into another business in Mary
land on the outskirts of the
city?
When the Wilson murder
"breaks” one of those “cherchez
la femmes” will have an impor
tant hand in turning in the
the suspect.
Joe Turner was on the verge
of going out of the fight busi
ness at the auditorium until he
learned that eventually the
Riding and Hunt Club is clos
ing down in view of a newer
saddle club which has sprung
up on the East-West Highway.
There is a $73,000 trust hang
ing over the Twenty-second and
P Street property which is soon
to be sold. That will put Bob

L. S. U, was not satisfied with the 20-

of the game, in getting the percentage
somewhere near what they thought was
proper.
Bert Ingwersen and Red Hurd carried

Run, Va., in a good way to

We Want Mickal
Patrons of the George Wash
ington-Louisiana State football
game last Saturday were bit
terly disappointed that Abe
Mickal wasn't allowed to step
out on the field for a little
while and show them his stuff.
Many argued that his injuries
weren't so bad that he was left
behind and too. that if they
hadn't expected to use him if
needed, he wouldn’t have been
brought along. Football doesn’t
give a whoop about the wisnes
of the spectators after they’ve
once paid their dollar and dime.
After 11 years, I have discov
ered that Mike Palm, former
Penn State star, is very sensi
tive about references made to
his great side-wise running in
the famous Penn State-Navy
game in 1922 when 11 Navy
men were laying for Palm—
and successfully bottled him up.
One member of the District
of Columbia Boxing Commission
is going to resign at the end of
his year’s appointment. An
other will be too busy tracking
down crime to accept reappoint
ment. and a third is already fed
up with the “honor.”
Senator King’s office is no
little piqued that it doesn’t get
passes for the Riding and Hunt
Club boxing shows. Turner sends
plenty to the office of the Utah
Senator, who is chairman of the
District Committee of that body.
The Big Damage
An average of 1,500 seats are
broken up at the ball park every
season—at football games.
Starting immediately, the
sports writers and photograph
ers are not going to have to
pay a quarter for parking their
automobiles at football games
in Griffith Stadium, a tax
levied on them unintentionally
for years except at baseball.
It went for boxing and wrestling
also.
W. S. Cousins, 20 Franklin
Street, writes to object to the
calling off of the high school
football series, because he says
all students are punished for
the actions of a few.
Sounds sound!
Second Title Won
By Marie Duval
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 17.
Miss Marie Duval, of Washington,
D. C., again led the divers here in

THOMPSON ININS
MELBOURNE
GOLF PLAY
MELBOURNE, Nov. 17.—Jimmy
Thompson. California profes
sional. today won the Melbourne
Centenary Open golf champion
ship, defeating a fine field of Brit
ish, American, and Australian
golfers with an aggregate of 283
for 72 holes of play.
Thompson carded a brilliant 69
in his third round today, taking
the lead, and then proceeded to
hold his advantage securely by
scoring a 72 on the final 18, de
spite showery weather and a
tricky wind.
Americans captured five of the
first six places. Leo Diegel fol
lowed Thompson with 289, and
Gene sarazen came in third with
290, being tied by E. Naismith, of
Australia. Ky Lafoon, of Denver,
and Harry Cooper tied for fifth
with 292 each.
Thompson’s final rounds were
followed by a gallery of 7,000, an
unprecedented crowd for such an
event in Australia. Thompson’s
third round 69 gave him a long
lead which never was endangered
throughout his conservative safely
played final 18.

LIGHT - HEAVY
RING TITLE
NEW YORK. Nov. 17.—80 b
Olin, a former broker’s clerk, was
the new light heavyweight cham
pion of the world today, but the
experts who saw his fifteen-round
■ fight with Maxie Rosenbloom last
night can’t decide whether Bob
won the title or fell over it.
When Joe Humphrey raised
' Olin’s hand in token of victory an
agonized wail went up from 7.000
■ customers, the smallest crowd of
the season.
i Had Bet 3 to 1
Many had bet as high as 3
to 1 that Rosenbloom, the peren
nial play-boy, would retain his
• I crown.
Harold Barnes and Charlie
[ Lynon. the judges, both voted for
, Olin, while Referee Arthur Don
’ i ovan cast his ballot for Maxie.
1 Most of the experts at the ring-
• side credited Rosenbloom with
, winning at least eight of the
- fifteen rounds.
Wiped Up Ring
To ringsiders, it appeared, that
Rosenbloom had wiped up the
’ ring with Olin. The judges, how
ever, apparently were watching
i tw'o other guys. The fans, know
ing the pair were former stable
’ mates, had believed throughout
1 the battle that Rosenbloom was

When the hour of reckoning
' I came, however, it was obvious even

along.
Pitt Topheavy Choice
To Defeat Middies
On Grid Today
By FRANK “BUCK” O’NEILL
Times Staff Writer
Navy stands dawn the field this afternoon in the game that
may make or mar the football year at Annapolis-
It tackles the Pitt Panther in Thompson Stadium and 25,000
gridiron fans will be in the stands.
Limits of space alone will keep the crowd
down to such relatively scant proportions,
Lieut. Comdr. John H. “Babe” Brown, of |
Navy, said this morning that he was compelled
to refuse reservations to at least that many
more applicants.
Navy has answered every demand upon its
football resources this year. It matched its
cunning against brawn; it met skill in the air
with greater skill. It made a show of raw,
stark courage and unconquerable fight in the
mauling match with Notre Dame that were
stirring. Now comes the Panther, a strong, i
versatile and superbly coached team, to hurl its power and
cunning against the Blue.
It will be a hard, exacting game, and there is a chance that
if Navy is forced to bow, it will expend so much of its power
and reserve in the game that the fight with Army two weeks
hence may be lost.
Defeat by Army would be noth- ♦
ing short of calamitous as Navyi
measures football values and |
weighs success or failure of sea- c
sons. Throughout the year there i
has been a feeling among football i
fans throughout the country that 1
this is Navy’s year. Not since 1921 1
has a regiment of midshipmen
pranced over the field to demolish
goal posts. Such rites are per
formed only after victory over 1
Army, and sometimes not even
then.
So Navy takes the field today
to win if it can. and it will fight
to the last gasp to win. and also
to leave the field in such condi
tion that it can come back for
the fray with West Point with at
least a fair chance of winning.

Pitt has little to fear in the
future. In fact, what follows after
today will be merely football
games which carry little in senti
mental values. But there is a
stake and a tradition to defend
today. Pitt has not been beaten
on Eastern soil since 1928 when
a raging West Point team plowed
over its tackles and romped 'round
its ends to the tune of a four
touchdown beating.
Two and Half to One
The Panther is a topheavy
favorite in betting. The big
boards in New York and through- 1
out the country make the vis
itors favorites at 2' 2 to 1. The
relative merits of the teams seem
to justify that price, for Pitt
should win by two touchdowns.
Pitt has two of the ranking
ends of the country in Rooker
and Baxter. The former scales
close to 190 pounds and the lat
ter weighs around 180. They are
clever downfield workers, har
riers of the ball on punts and
crackerjack hands in working on
a tackle or taking a pass. It is
entirely possible that they will
be used in carrying the ball on
delayed lateral passes on wide
sweeps. *
Mike Nicksick is one of the
outstanding ball carriers of the
year. He is fast as a streak and
a capable man in the gentle art
of reversing his field. Motion
pictures of Nicksick taken in the
Notre Dame game show him cut
ting off tackle on a sharp slant
and then driving back through
the secondary zones. One shot
showed him actually passing be
tween the Rambler rush line
and the wing backs with never
a hand laid on him until he was
dragged down from behind.
With a hard blocking team
like Pitt throwing sharp cutting
interferers around runners of
the Nicksick type, anything may
happen, and a lot of everything
is sure to happen today.
One Long Run Per
Weisenbaugh, another of the
Smoke Town halfbacks, has a
record of one long run per game.
Some of his jaunts ended in
touchdowns, others did not, but
Weisenbaugh did plenty of
running.
And then there’s Izzy Wein
stock. There’s a line crasher of J
j the type. He weighs 191 pounds,
and once he steps on a football '

field he reverts to the Berserks.
The writer saw Weinstock play
one game. There will remain
always the picture of him raging
along with tacklers festooning
his uniform. He fell, he wasn’t
brought down.
Miller Munjas, Pitt’s field
general, has been a canny, savvy
youth at all times. He probes a
defense cunningly, and when the
second period rolls around, he is
about set to go places.
And what of 1 avy? Surely all
the power does not rest with the
snarling Panther of those rugged
Pennsylvania hills. Navy’s record
this year proves its class. The
Middie line is a fighting wall of
humans turned catamounts once
the whistle blows.
We’ve heard more of Buzz Bor
ries than we've heard of Captain
Bums, but Navy will proclaim its
pride in the fighting Middie who
swings out of his position at guard
to head the interference. And
there's Slade Cutter, tackle. Not
only is this young giant a slashing
man in the line, but he is a field
goal specialist. Mighty seldom that
Cutter misses when shooting at
those posts.
Dusty Dornin, at end is a hand
man in any scrimmage. He can
take those passes and you’re going
to see plenty of aerials today when
those field generals get through
with line thrusts and start hurling
the long gainers.
Strong and Tough
And now, back to the Navy line
and its power men. Mini, Navy’s
right end, is a little fellow, weigh
ing 185 pounds or thereabouts,
and Lambert, the other tackle,
tips the scales at 180. He is
strong and tough, whalebone and
elastic sort of guy who bends but
doesn’t break: gives, but' springs
back harder than ever under the
battle shock.
Down at the end of the field
surrounded by Thompson Stadium
are some long range guns, and
here is just a little suggestion for
the Panther today. It won’t be
those frowning rifles hurling
crashing bombs at you this after
noon. It will be a kid named
Borries—Buzz Borries, one of the
swiftest and slickest and smooth
est halfbacks in the land today.
He is a wizard in a broken field,
and the way he can side-step
tacklers is a thing of beauty and
a wonder to all who observe him.
Modern football will be seen at
its best today. Both teams have
what it takes to produce great
gridiron contests. Too bad the
game wasn’t scheduled for some
field that could accommodate
more than 25,000 spectators.
WENTZ VISITS
BANKS WITH
RICKEY
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17.—Belief
that the “temporarily terminated
negotiations’’ between Owner Sam
Breadon of the St. Louis Car
dinals and Lew Wentz, multi
millionaire oil king, for the sale'
of the club to Wentz may be re
| sumed very soon, grew here to
day when it became known that
Wentz in company with Branch
Rickey, Cardinals' vice president,
visited several downtown banks
yesterday.
Wentz declared recently that
should he purchase the St. Louis
National League club that he
would retain Rickey.
The deal is expected also to
include the Cardinals’ nine affili
ated minor league teams.
Belief that the negotiations
would soon be resumed was also
strengthened by the announce
ment by Breadon that he in
tended to postpone a vacation to
Florida, although he declared
that this “had nothing to do with
the sale of the Cardinals and
was for another reason” which
he could not reveal at this time.
