BUDGEUKELY TO SUCCEED ALUSON AS NO 1 U. S. NETTER GRANT DUE FOR t HIGH RANKING Rain Forces Postponement Of Championship Tourney • . FOREST HILLS, N. Y* Sept. S. VP)—With the men's and women’s tennis singles championships post poned three days because of rain, the tennis hungry had turned Thursday to Crystal gazing into the possible Uneup cl America’s '‘first, ten ’ for 1935. The first five places appear to be a cut and dried issue among five play ers—Don Budge of Oakland, Calif.. Wilmer Allison of Austin, Texas, Frank Shields and Sidney B. Wood. Jr., of New York and Bryan M. (Bitsy > Grant. Jr., of Atlanta. The #ixt five will involve a scramble tiong a dozen players. Budge and Grant appear slated for the biggest promotions. They rank ninth and tenth, respectively. Budge is a popular hunch to suc ceed Allison as the “head man," but In order to gain that distinction the Californian must gain the final round of the tournament. Unless Allison suddenly hits a hot streak, the 31-year-old Texan appears destined to drcp a couple of notches. He became America’s No. 1 last year mainly because of his courageous stand against Fred Penry. Tlila ytar, however, he's done little to support his ranking. Besides being slated for a higher ranking, Grant already Is being considered for the 1936 Davis Cup wars as the result of his victories over Frankie Parker and Shields In winning the eastern grass courts future of Wood and Shields. No. 2 and No. 3 on this years Hat. Is up to the gcds of chance. Shields’ big moment will arrive when he meets Perry In one of the auarter flnals. Dismal performances in *lie championship have co6t Berkeley Bell and Cliff Sutter their first-ten berths. Bell. No. 7. dropped a drive set first round decision to the vet eran Manuel A’onso, while Sutter. No. 8. bowed in five sets for Gene Make, who is due to gain “first ten’’ ranking. The committee Thursday con templated its third attempt to put on five men's fourth round matches; three women’s 3rd and one quarter final. Before Wednesday’s down pour. Allison won the first two sets, 6-2. 6-0, and was trailing 2-3 in the third In his match against Oene Ifako. Firestone Evens San Benito Fray In Hot Contest _____ (Special to The Herald I BAN BENITO.

I Lateral Passes Will Be Stressed at West Point BY EDWARD I. NEIL WEST POINT. N. Y., 8ept. 5.—OP) —Football la coming out into the open this season as never before, says Lieut. Oar Davidson, com mander-ln-chief of the army grid irons, and sad Indeed will be the major league coach who hasn't his laterals and forward passes ready for the test. “The way Alabama passed and ran Stanford into rout in the Rose B'wi was the preview of the kind of attack you're going to see every where all fall," he says. “I've got my men playing touch football as much as possible, passing tbs ball around all the time, get ting used to handling it and pluck ing It out of the air from all angles. I'm hoping they'll develop to a point where they'll handle laterals Instinctively. We’re going all the way on a passing attack.” Davidson, white-haired though still in his 30’s, believes that Army's 3 tc 0 defeat by Navy last fell, first time the midshipmen upset the cadets since 1821. did more good than harm. “The cadets got so used to beating Navy," he said, "that they lost their mental edge. They’ll be all the tougher this year for that licking.’* Davidson is concentrating on a forward - passing combination that locks spectacular. Joe Nazarro o» Brooklyn, who didn’t fit Into last year's combination headed by Jacz Buckler and Joe Stanoook. is the finest passer Army has boasted in years. On the ends are two brilliant receivers, Capt. Bill Shuler and Maurice Preston. A big gar. faster line than last year’s combination, a plentltude of becks with none of Buckler's out standing ability gives Davidson a chanoe to mould a more versatile eleven. He's going In heavily for single wing-back formations, and a running attack that moves as fre quently to the right as to the left. The schedule Includes only nine games Instead of the customary ten1 Oct. 5, William and Mary; 12. Gettysburg; 19, Harvard; 26. Yale at New Haven; Nov. 2. Mississippi State; 9.

GALAN IS BIG AID TO CUBS Grimm Get* Credit Fo> Converting Him Into Regular (By The Associated Preae) One of the season’s best bits of managerial master-minding appar ently was Charley Grimm's con version of Augle Galan from an Irregular lnfielder with the Cubs to a regular toller In the cuter pas tures. That shift came when the Cubs were In the doldrums. Shortly after ward they began to move toward the top with Galan In a leading role in the drive that made them contend ers lor the flag. It didn't take Augle long to develop Into a good out fielder and he has been hitting at a .300 or better clip. Galan proved his worth Wednes day when the Cubs rolled over the Phillies 8 to 2 to keep their place 24 games behind the league-lead ing Cardinals and a half game back of the second-place Giants. Galan drove In six runs, drawing a walk with the bases leaded In the fourth and clouting two home runs. His second homer came with the bases loaded in the eighth and broke up the ball game. The Cards maintained their lead by staging a four-run rally In the eighth to beat the cellar-dwelling Braves 6-3. A close game In which Wally Berger put Boston ahead In the first half of the eighth with his 30th homer of the season, sudden ly fell apart when Frank Frisch started the eighth with a single off Ed Brandt. Jim Collins doubled him home and Ben Cantwell, who fol lowed. was pounded for three mere hits. Jesse “Pop” Haines, trying for his 200th major league victory, which has eluded him* since July 21. went out Just too soon to get credit for the victory, which went to Bill Walk er. The Giants, although somewhat shaky at times, outlasted the Reds to win 8 to 4. principally because Carl Hubbel] had control and the Cin cinnati pitchers didn’t. Pittsburgh and Brooklyn had an open date, leaving the Pirates 84 games behind the Cards while rains In the east washed out the entire five-game program of the Ameri can League. -- .-.

In the Class "A” ranks the new •omeii are Bobby Cannon at Edin burg, Dutch Flory at Harlingen and Raymond Berry at Corpus Christl. Aaunon and Berry, of course, are well known to Valley fans through their previous connections, and the only real newcomers are Flory and Whitey Baccus at Harlingen. Berry was assistant coach under Cannon at Corpus Christ! and he was elevated to the mentorship of the powerful Bucs—almost certain to repeat their district champion ship—after Cannon signed at Edin burg. Cannon, who formerly coach Od at Mission, succeeds Jess Smith at the Hidalgo county seat. Dutch Flory comes to Harlingen with one of the greatest high school records ever rolled up in Texas. Bis Hondo squads were wonders in the "B" ranks. Flory's Hondo team last year gave Donna, the Valley ohampion. a terrible drubbing for the “B" regional title. He will have an able assistant in Baccus. former ^ South weal conference basketball Und football star. [• Outside of these changes, the faces ’ Will remain the same around the •A" loop.

At Mission you will find Claude Dailey of the lean Jaw and scholar ly spectacles. Claude's hot on foot ball but even hotter on track. Bob Knight, the stumpy fellow with the fog-horn voice, continues to hold sway In the McAllen high football camp. Bob likes his bas ketball. but football is still his favorite. The Trl-Clty school, Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, still has quiet-spoken Fred Seigler In charge. Fred fur tWRhes a decided contrast to the offlclal-balters so frequently found In high school ranks. George Vest, the top man among the Valley B coaches at preaent. still holds the lines at Donna. The Rec^ktns were the sensation of the Valley last season, and they will give all and sundry a great battle this season. Weslaco's Harry Johnson, the neophyte golfer who gets grid things done In a big way. Is getting set to attain the top ranking again. The Redskins shoved the Panthers al most out of the picture last year.1 but the Panthers are slated for a comeback. The grey-eagle of the Valley coaching ranks—Herman Schmali reid. is back at Mercedes this sea son.

When Coaches Robert Porter and Cnarley Decker took a look at the huskies at first practice this week they almost swooned because it ha* been a long time since they have had so much beef to gase upon. Their job from here on out will be to see whether the beef Is good for some thing more than just to swell out the brand new jerseys that are on the way. In other words do the big boys have brains as well as brawn? All In all the outlook la said to be pretty good for the 1935 Bearkat wrid machine If the big boys really have the stuff In the line the Kats may trouble some of the other Val k-v elevens quite a bit Some JO ambitious young fellows turned out for first practice but the coaches expect this number so increase considerably before very k>rg The usual “lfs’* are being contended with. If the tree army had not enlisted a few prospects and If the new age limit were not in effect the outlook would Indeed be bright but even as it Is things dont look bad at all. Although twelve lettermen did not graduate last spring, it to doubtful whether the full dosen will be available for the 1935 squad for reasons already enumerated Don Johns, coach for the past asaaon or so. Is still In the school system as principal elect of the junior high school which may be organized and may put In a hand coaching • junior team along with Leighton Smith who knows a few things about football himself.
