Howdy, Fans -By HOWDY HOUSE A-CEES MEET SANDUSKY OUTFIT SUNDAY MORNING EYE-OPENER: Fall has overtaken us, folks The coalman collected at the back door last week just as the iceman was leaving Kid Football and Old Man Baseball are sparring for time Stores are showing nifty swagger topcoats and dark worsted suits to shirt-sleeved, white- ghoed customers And as further proof, it's just 108 days until Christmas (Help! Now, if the class will stop fretting and come to order, we'll turn our attention to pleasantries. Coshocton's No. 1 sports news today is the state amateur baseball tournament, which is in its last throes at Lake Park field. Two of the six teams were sent home yesterday and two more clubs will have shot their wads by mid- afternoon today. The tourney will probably wind up the diamond season in the city, unless the Athletic Club and Pleasant Valley play off the Senior league series.

But the baseball bug can stuff himself at the park today. The first game starts at 11 this morning, with the local A-Cees making their tournament debut, and continuous entertainment will be provided until about sundown. Landing the state tournament was a prize promotional "plum" for Coshocton. The orchids go to City Recreation Director Jimmy Sigman, whose maneuvering brot the joust here. Another sports bell-ringer for Coshocton, where the bell rings often.

The lights go on at high school stadium Friday night when Coaches "Sky" Wharton, Woody Wills and Ralph Vanaman trot 1940 Redskin gridders against Akron Central. The Braves open the season a week earlier than last year, but Prof. Wharton tells us the boys will be ready. Wharton's not talking much this fall, tho. We asked him how the huskies look in practice, and "Sky" grabs a pencil and paper and shows us they look like this (We promptly asked the coach who was conducting this interview).

So, the only thing we can tell you is to spend four- bits Friday night and see for yourself. In another week you'll see a new batch of those shiny "pancake" badges circulating around town. The Boosters are coming. Generalissimo Carl Patterson, who made Coshocton badge-conscious last football season, again will launch the Booster club's membership campaign, which starts Wednesday. The Redskins' 1939 athletes, who graduated last spring, are being picked off right and left by college coaches.

All-Ohio Football Center Tom Aronhalt; Basketball Captain and Ace Golfer Max McConnell, District Champion Diver Jimmy Strong and Footballer Carl Guenther will enter the freshman class at Ohio this fall. Football Captain Jim Davis, who played plenty of end, will matriculate at Muskingum college. The week's best crack: Wharton told the Boosters Friday night to stop worrying about the Germans coming because Dale Randies, last year's fearless fullback, has joined the navy. Randies enlisted in the U. S.

navy two weeks ago and is now stationed at Norfolk, Va. The Tribune Sports PAGE 9 COSHOCTON, OHIO, SUNDAY MORNING.

The strong offense boasted by the Akron Yanks and the Charleston Senators' tight pitching was expected to bring them victory in the first round of the playoffs, against Youngstown and Dayton, respectivley.

Akron's three-out-of-five game series with Youngstown starts with two games at the Brown's park and the final three, if necessary, at Akron. Meanwhile, the first two games of the Charleston- Dayton series are at the West Virginia capital and the last three at Dayton. Redskins Shaping up Fast WILL BE READY As Conn Unveiled KO Punch iLVERTOWNS Wily "Sky" Wharton, who has been turning out football teams at Coshocton high school for the oast 13 years, is not climbing out on the prediction limb this fall-thank you. The Redskins have only a week's practice under their belts and it's a little early to expect Wharton to furm an opinion, especially with five gaping holes on the varsity plug. However, the Red and Black Warriors inaugurate their 1940 schedule next Friday night against a veteran Akron Central eleven at high school stadium and the peppery head coach doesn't hesitate to say his gridders will be in "pretty good physical Wharton's appraisal of the squad follows: "The boys look good, but how good they will be I don't know." Guards, Centers Light If practice makes perfect, the red-shirts won't lose any time in heading for perfection.

Whar- ion and assistants, Woody Wills' and Ralph Vanaman, have sent the squad of some 60 candidates thru nine practice sessions in six days. They climated the first week with a workout under the lights last night. Replacing players like all-Ohio Center Tom Aronhalt, End Jim Davis, Tackle Glenn Hudson, Halfback Gene Darling and Fullback Dale Randies is no easy matter, but the coaches have whittled their problem down to filling in the center of the line. Candidates for center and guards are all lightweights, with little varsity experience. Dave Duren, who under-studied Aronhalt at center last fall, is the most seasoned of the group.

He tips the scales at 145. The 1939 junior varsity has sent up Dick Johnson, Bill Clark, George Meyers, Jack Merrell and Jack Barrack as guard prospects. This quintet averages no more than 150 pounds, but all five are giving the 'old college try." Duren also being given a hot battle for the center job by Clarence Callentine, 152. Rest Are Heavier Heavier material is available for the tackles and ends. Leading the tackle tussle are Ed Wilson, 2 0 0 letterman; Junior Hunter, 168; Kenny Clark, 165, and Jack Brown, 215.

The latter three are junior varsity "graduates." The end positions are just about settled, what with 200- pound, six-foot four-inch Bob Clark and Co-Capt. Ernie Smith, 173, returning from last foil's varsity. Clark spent most of his playing time at a tackle last season, but switched to end occasionally. Another bright end prospect is sophomore Bill Totsch, six-foot 175-pounder. who showing more than a little ability in cr.agging passes.
