MOINES REGISTER SEPT. 18. 1947. meMw at mm Plan on Making Their Point IV Waldez Belts OutT.K.O. I OverFaler got 'em this year." Actually, Iowa has gained few reinforcements since last season when Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, among conference opponents, stopped the Hawks.

Just why the darkhorse tag was hung on Iowa is puzzling. It has served, however, to alert all current rivals. Iowa will not be long in meriting or relinquishing its right to high ranking. Within the next three weeks, both Rose Bowl teams must be met. After that In succession come Indiana, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Purdue, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Iowa could be-very good and still come out reeling from that lineup. The Hawks apparently are well-supplied with defensive ends, less so with offensive flankers. Tackle strength, at the moment, is shallow with only four regarded as suitable. As late as spring practice it seemed the Hawks were loaded with good guards, but there have been some disappointments. Out of eight men who were considered as top prospects, only four have retained that rating.

The supply of centers is considered entirely adequate. Iowa's starting line will average a shade over 200. The team H'- V' IOWA Continued from Pdge IS. ment wtyl be largely In the game bands this season. There has been a distressing series of injuries, mirror in nature but troublesome enough to affect development.

Nearly a dozen players gone into enforced layoffs of several days' duration, disrupting the 'general" development of team units. Additional injuries, notably in the backfield, where replacement strength is shallow at best, could seriously cripple the Hawks. Iowa was a strong defensive team last season, earning second rating in the conference in that department. And, until a passing attack -becomes an actuality rather than a possibility, defensive strength still is uppermost. Dr.

Anderson hints that the lack of speed, especially in the backfield, could prove Iowa's undoing. And he suggests that his rough and rugged line could be its salvation. The Hawks will catch no rival napping this season. From Champaign to Columbus, and from Michigan to Minnesota on our conference tour the report was the' same: Looks like Eddie Anderson's DICK WOODARD TO LEAD IOWA (The Register's Iowa News Service.) IOWA CITY, IA. Dr.

Eddie Anderson reduced practice at Iowa to a one-a-day basis here Wednesday, then sent the Hawks through a light workout as he made final preparations for the North Dakota State game ljere Saturday. The afternoon was started on pass defense and offense, and ended with a. long signal drill that w-a aimed at polishing the ground attack. Anderson indicated that Dick Woodard, 220-pound center from Fort Dodge, would captain the club when it opens against the Bisons. Woodard was regular center a year ago until an injury forced him to the sideline.

Reach No Decision On Swamp Fever BOSTON, MASS. UP) Horse men failed to reach a decision Wednesday night on the. question of destroying 34 race horses af flicted with swamp fever. Judge James E. Dooley, presi dent of the Thoroughbred Racing association said after a private conference in a Boston hotel that the group had reached no decision either, on destruction of the stricken horses or on the ques tion of reimbursing owners.

The toe of Jack MacAlIister of Vinton may be the difference between victory and defeat for Iowa State Teachers college when the Panthers play Iowa State at Ames Saturday. Holding the ball for MacAlIister is Bob Williams of Ottumwa, all-North Central conference back In 1946. DES Hicks Newell in 1941. Miss Kirby, last year's qualifying medalist, was 1939 runner-up to Betty Jameson.

The Waterloo White Hawks gained a 9-4 decision over Danville for a 3-1 edge in the Three-I league final play-off here Wednesday night. The Hawks need only one more-victory to collect the $1,500 prize.

The game was a pitchers' duel until the fourth when a home run, a double and a 'single gave Danville a two-run lead. Waterloo came back with five runs in the bottom half on three singles and a double sandwiched in between an error and a walk. The Hawks added one each in the sixth and seventh and two in the eighth. Danville got two in the sixth. Howie Judson scattered eight Dodger hits while fanning nine batters.

BULLDOGS GET NIGHT SESSION- Registration Wednesday put a big bite in Drake's football practice. In their morning drill, "with only a part of the squad on hand, the Bulldogs were limited to limbering up exercises arid a stiff play review. Coach Al Kawal hopes the brief respite from heavy work will help mend some of the Bulldog cripples for use against Jexas Mines in the season opener Friday night. The Bulldog mentor indicated he was not too well pleased the way the Bulldogs ran through their morning session. So Wednesday night the Bulldogs went through a long drill emphasizing pass defense.

They will have a light workout tliis morning at 10 and then have a brief session under lights tonight. Texas Mines, meanwhile, was en route to Des Moines. The Ore-diggers will arrive shortly after noon today and are expected to work out in the stadium, in the, late afternoon or evenings Coach Jack Curtice of the visitors is bringing 35 men for the game, the second meeting: of the intersectional foes.

VPf The accent will be very strongly on youth next week as a field of 84 feminine golfers starts a free-for-all scramble over the Franklin Hills Country club near Detroit for the National Women's championship left undefended by Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias. Mrs. Zaharias, who last month announced her intention of becoming a professional, won the women's amateur title at Tulsa, a year ago to start an amazing string of 16 consecutive tournament triumphs climaxed by her victory in the British Women's championship. Not only will the 1946 champion be absent, but two of the other three semifinal-lsts are missing from the entry list, announced Wednesday by the United States Golf association.

They are Mrs. Clara Callen-dar Sherman of Annandale, beaten by the Babe, 11 and 9, in last year's final, and Bettye Mims White of Glen Lake, Tex. Heading the field which will begin play in the 36-hole qualifying round next Monday, are Helen Sigel of Philadelphia, Dorothy Kir.by of Atlanta, and a flock' of younger players who are just establishing their reputations. Lost in Semis. Miss Sigel, who lost to Mrs.

Zaharias in last year's semifinal, was runner-up to Betty Byrd, returning after a long service hitch who may become a very dependable relief tackle. i LEFT GUARD Joe Grothus should have strong replacements in Russ Benda, Ray Carlson and Davey Day. They're all letter-men. CENTER Four promising performers, with Jim Lawrence, Bob Snyder and Dick Laster supporting starter Dick Woodard. Each is a letterwinner.

RIGHT GUARD Behind the Negro star, Earl Banks, will be Ross Anderson, a starting guard in '41 who returned after five years army duty, along with Bill Kersten and Chet Moore and sophomore Dick Rust, who may move up. RIGHT TACKLE Bill Kay will give Jim Cozad a battle for a starting post, with Kay considered Cozad's superior on defense. Bob Zender is next. RIGHT END Herb Shoener and Bob Phillips are considered alternates. Rough Tony Gbzow-ski stands behind them, along with Jack Dittmer, one of -the best of the pass catchers.

QUARTERBACK Al DiMarco may take over a good share of the offensive quarterbacking, although starter Leo King is favored defensively and has become more aggressive offensively. Di-Marco's passing, as we watched, seemed less impressive than it had in the spring game, but a' sprained thumb may have been responsible. Johnny Estes of Des Moines has made marked improvement to stamp himself as a dependable both on offense and defense. He'll see action. LEFT HALF Emlen Tunnell bruised the inside of a knee and was out of heavy action for a week but he still looms as the probable "starter.

John Tedore has moved up very close to Tunnell, however, and will play a lot of football. Next up is Bob Lang-ley, now at work with the handi cap of a sprained and lacerated left hand encased in a splint. JilGHT HALF Duke Curran, a veteran and the fastest of the backs, was the No. 1 choice until a few days ago when hard-running Dell Bartells passed him. The choice between the two.

probably is a tossup with Quentin Kaiser- shot coming on in a hurry. This former fullback prospect may be the best of the lot by midseason. FULLBACK Coach Anderson considers Bob Smith one of the best backs he ever coached and there have been some geod ones, such as Bill Osmanski at Holy Cross, Nile Klnnick at Iowa, etc. Smith was moved in at fullback from the right halfback post, where he ranked fourth in the conference in yardage last season. Behind Smith Ron Heading- ton and Bob Reynolds are virtually neck and neck, with Reynolds advancing far since last year.

Reynolds is considered the most improved player on the squad. So that's Iowa. If the team is to become a real attacking unit it is imperative that the passing game be greatly improved over last year. It could be. If DiMarco can duplicate the sensational shots he threw in the spring game he alone could make Iowa very dangerous.

Lou King's passes are distinctly in evidence now, whereas they rarely were seen last season. And Em Tunnell still is on hand to do his pitching act, with Johrf Estes and John Tedore also regarded as good passers. The pass-catching department should be bolstered no little by the presence-. of Bob McKenzie. He made seven catches himself against the varsity in the spring game.

Pairing with McKenzie on attack, Jack Dittmer should give Iowa another exceUent target. And they say Tunnell, the Negro halfback, simply doesn't know how to drop a ball. Iowa's schedule, with anticipated attendance: Sept. 20 North Dakota Stats at Iowa, 30.000. Sept 27 Iowa at U.C.L.A., 90,000.

By Charles Johnny Valdez, the clever West Des Moines welterweight, scored a quick T.K.O. victory over Ernie Faler of Des Moines in the feature bout of the V.F.W., amateur boxing card at Valley Stadium Wednesday night. Although Valdez was rated as a slight favorite before entering the ring, the sudden knockout came as somewhat of a surprise to the crowd of nearly 1,000 fans who.

witnessed the seven-bout enow. Both fighters started fast with Faler using his reach advantage to score on a couple of punches in the early seconds of the round. Valdez soon warmed to his task, however, and sent his taller opponent down for a count of three with a stiff left to the head. Faler had hardly regained his feet when the Valley High athlete again rained lefts and rights to the head and body. Referee Nate Fidler stopped the brawl with Faler in a helpless condition after slightly more than one minute of the opening round.

In a wild fight which saw both boxers and Fidler go flying through the ropes, Tommy Thompson of Des Moines gainea a close three-round decision over Loren Sheets of South Des Moines. Johnny Feely won a T.K.O. over Don Tovery of Fort Des Moines in 1:21 of the third round. BEARS BATTER REDSKINS, 28-7 CHICAqO, ILL.

It was "Walter Hagen day" at Red Run Golf club, a celebration set aside by the Michigan section of the P.G.A. to honor "the Haig," and Hagen was assigned a 2:30 pf m. starting time in a featured foursome as one of the day's top attractions.

The New York Giants popped up with a surprise aerial attack headed by Jerry Niles, "The Des Moines Register, one of America's finest newspapers from the standpoint of coverage, courage, conscience Saturday Review of Literature AUGUST 30, 194T GUARDIAN Davenport's this fall will be Joe Grothus, a night to upset the hitherto unbeaten Los Angeles Rams, 30-3, in a National Football league exhibition. Warming up to his work after an erratic first-period, the i95- pounder who set a collection of passing records in the Big Nine two years ago, tossed twice to George Franck for touchdowns. Then in the final period, when he couldn't find a receiver, he galloped 22 yards for a tally all by himself to uncover the attack the Giants themselves hardly knew they had. By way of variety, for the entertainment of a rowd of 28,834 in the Polo Grounds, the Giants got their last marker on a four-yard smash over tackle by Gordon Paschka, former Minnesota line-mauler, to make it an all ex-Big Nine scoring spree for the evening. The odd Giants points were on a 19-yard field goal ard three extra points produced by the sure toe of the former not-so-shrinking Violet of New York Ken Strong.

Against this, the Rams, exploding practically none of the offensive dynamite that had won them three straight exhibition victories, could produce only three skimpy points on a 40-yard field goal by Bob Waterfield in the final quarter. A freshman in the National Niles had It all over the highly touted Waterfield in the passing department, completing seven of IS for 175 yards, against California Bob's 11 of 21 tries for 97 yards.
