Ferry was at home with Carrick this afternoon. Oliver trots out against Peabody at their Peabody field tomorrow afternoon, while Schenley visits Langley and Allegheny appears HI Stanton Leads Arizona Comeback Campaign In the land of fresh air at Tucson, the 1938 Arizona Wildcat eleven is recuperating from an engagement with the Minnesota steam-roller. Coach Miles Casteel has the Wildcats off to a fresh start in a drive for the- Border- Conference title, after two lean seasons. A key figure in the revival is Henry Stanton, sophomore end, rated one of the most advanced prospects in many seasons.

Stre tching six feet two, and toting some 185 pounds. Stan- Henry Stanton ton is last downfield under punts, seldom misses a pass thrown his way, and is really tough to get around on defense for the standard Wildcat opponent. Stan was spark-plug of a successful freshman team catching passes and leading the team in determined defensive stands. Climbing into a regular varsity berth, he's Arizona's best bet for "New Headline Maker." Successor to Arkansas ,1938 captain Lloyd Wood ell, who has moved up to the pro league for a job with the champion New York Giants, is Daryl Cato a sophomore who promises to become one of the best snapper -backs i Razorback history. Cato is further advanced than the average recruit.

He played nigh school football at Lonoke, under Savoy Seam-ster, former a zorback star. He made steady progress on the frosh Daryl Cato team last year, and in spring practice was a stand-out on the matter of pass interceptions. "Dar" is mechanically perfect and football smart. Experience in track and baseball has given him unusual agility for a lineman. Two inches better than six the 190-pound sophomore has ambitions to become a "gentleman farmer," studying in the school of agriculture.

Unbeaten But Tied Chester Briggs and Larry Danver have rounded out a formidable, un-conquered but tied Fifth Avenue combination. After opening with a scoreless draw at Oliver, Fifth chalked up victories over Allegheny, Carrick and Langley in league rivalry. The two remaining loop tussles for the Uptowners are South, Nov. 3. and Schenley, Nov.

Last week it was the Heidelberg Tornado i.

fc-hich led the attack on the Morgan stronghold and succeeded in getting away with a division of the points. Next Sunday it will be Johnny Benick's second-place Cas- tie Shannon No. 1 crew that will furnish the fireworks. If Shannon wins, Morgan will certainly be no better than second in the running t. may drop further.

Whether the pace is already telling on the boys, or not, there is to be no repetition of the tactics that spoiled the Morgan Heidelberg clash, for the word has gone out that drastics penalties are to.be handed out for rule infractions. Despite the tendency to blame it all on the referee, it cannot be denied that the most capable official is helpless if the players will not eschew foul tactics. Some years ago J. B. Stark was the object of a scathing indictment following a game of national importance because, it was alleged, he did not control the game.

Yet he was undoubtedly one of the finest and certainly one of the highest paid officials in the wor.ld at soccer, both here and abroad. Other officials, like Mose Bloom, Eddie Donaghy, were A-l in their work, jet found their way out of these parts. MAS II Mae West By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 19 Goodbye, Academy Award to "Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

Robert Donat's Hollywood's coveted "Oscar" lor his portrayal of Mr. Chips went a-glimmering todayTony Galento is heading for California to make a picture. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards its gold statuette to the actor, giving the out-. chance of gettins standing performance of the year. You can Tony Galento bet that 'Galento's will be just that With Mae West and W.

C. Fields in his supporting cast, the "Barry more of the Beer Barrels" is i cinch to outdo all the Munis Tracys, Gable and Donats. Not since Rin Tin Tin was at the height of his glory will Hollywood have seen an actor with the emotional range of Galento. Proves Emotional Star Those who have been watching Galento for the past 10 years know that he can run the gamut of emo tions as easily as Man O'War ever did the mile and a quarter. In his four-act drama with Joe Louis, for example, Galento flashed every human feeling.

In the first act, he gave a vivid portrayal of scorn and braggadoccio. In the second, hi face was a study in caution and surprise. In the third, he rose to supreme heights to thrill the spectators with a masterful show of courage and recklessness. And, in the fourth, without the use of make-up, and without the use of speech, he became an old, old man, beaten and worn, and ready to die.s In fewer than 12 minutes. Galento went from a strong, healthy man, in full possession of his mental and physical faculties, to an old, tired, and completely wrecked human being.

Of course, he had the full co-operation of Louis, one of the best straight (right) men in the show business. Should Be Colossal The report from Hollywood is that the ript for picture calls for him to have his biggest scene in a saloon setting. Whether he will play the bartender, the bouncer, or a customer is not known, but it is believed that the director, once he has seen Tony working on a tankard of ale, will cast him in the role of a customer. As a customer, whose business it is to drink beer, Galento will be sen sational, terrific, magnificent, and slightly colossal. There may be actors Hollywood capable of giving a better performance at the bar than Galento, but they would be character actors.

Tony would just be himself. Of course, he wouldn't be out of place as the bartender or the bouncer. He performs both duties in real life in his pub in New Jersey, Critics who have seen him draw one light or pop a trouble-maker on the noggin say that he is more than adequate. Galento will be accompanied to Hollywood by Joe Jacobs, a director of the old school. It wouldn't be surprising if Jacobs hasn't directed more farces than any other man in the business.

There are tailbacks galore. Best of the passers are Baugh and Frank Filchock, the latter a Pirate the first part of the 1938 campaign, until sold to the Redskins.

Baugh, until he was injured, completed 50 per cent of his aerials. Filchock stepped into the breach and apparently did all right, for he completed eight in eight attempts against Brooklyn, and six of seven tosses against the Pirates lastweek. And these are the runners Filchock, Andy Farkas, Jimmy German, Dick Todd, Wilbur Moore, Boyd Morgan and Don Irwin. Farkas, former University of Detroit star, is the team's leading ground-gainer, with Filchock a close second. South Hills Fans Honor Honus Wagner South Hills baseball fans enjoyed a gala mgnt at Mt.

All the more remark able, too, is the fact that the Redskins have scored 85 points in their last two games 41 on Brooklyn and 44 on the ortu- a Pirates last Sunday in Washington without the aid of Slingin Sam a the tall Texan most Sammy Baugh fans still regard as the greatest forward passer pf all time.

Baugh very, likely will play Sun day. He worked out last week, but was not used against the Bucs. He has continued to practice this week, so there seems to be no reason why he should be withheld from the lineup Sunday. Washington scores of the last two weeks have been generated by a roster of 13 backs, aided, of course, by one of the outstanding oSensive lines in football. The usual Redskin attacking forma tion is a single wing, varied only occasionally by a short punt setup.

The wingbacks are Ed Justice, 200-pound veteran from Gonzaga, which also is the alma mater of the Tribe chief, Ray Flaherty; and the rookies, Jimmy Johnston, 190-po under from Washington, and Jarrin Jim Meade, 195-po under from Maryland.
