It was Von Cramm's first appearance in Berlin since the war. Rangers to Play In Benefit Game The Rox Rangers meet the Broadmoor Club of Pittsburgh tomorrow night at the Stowe High School Field.

The boys who make the odds have set up this game as practically a toss-up. IWWSW will broadcast the game starting at 2:15 p. m.1 Paul White will take over the right halfback duties of the ailing Bob Sullivan for the Steelers. Sullivan was rushed to Mercy Hos pital Thursday night after complaining of a back injury. He remained there over the week-end.

Bob Cifers, Gonzales Morales and Joe Glamp also will pinch-hit for Sullivan. Yanks Have Passers Once more the Pittsburgher will have to watch out for passes. Coach Clipper Smith, who switched the Yanks from the single wing to the 'T," has a couple of crack forward passers to throw at the Steelers. One is Paul Govei nali, once of 1 bia. The other is Notre Dame's Boley Dance- wicz.

The Yanl-s surprised every body by holding the Giants to a 7-7 tie and al- Dancewicz most won the game, but a field goal try in the final seconds missed the mark. They lost to Detroit last week, 21-7, but outgained the Lions in almost every department. The Yanks piled up 13 first downs to 10 for the Lions, 281 yards rushing to 258 and completed 11 passes out of 21 for 159 yards. Will Lose Money The Steelers likely will lose money on this trip, simply because the Yanks haven't been drawing. They played to fewer than 25.000 in the opener with the Giants and only a little better than 19,000 last week.

Without winning a game thus far, the Yanks don't figure to bring out more than 12,000 or 15.000 here tomorrow against the Steelers, who have lost two In a row.

Topping the Keystone circuit program, league-leading Curry Is at home to Heidelberg and hopes to notch Its fifth straight win.

Trailing by one point, Morgan has a stiff task at Gallatin to stay in the running. Castle Shannon at Cecil and Sturgeon at Avella round out the top-ilght games. Panhandle teams are out to break a three-way tie for the lead. Moon Run at Glendale should solve part of the knot and Castle Shannon is rated to stay up front in its home contest with the Vets from McDonald, although the Vets are coming along fast. Coverdale is at Muse and Beadling at Heidelberg.

MeNulty Meets Horning- McNulty Post has the best chance of keeping the Allegheny Valley League top rung in a home contest with Horning while its rival, Harmarville is away for a test at twn in arrears, should keep pace as host to Bairdford. Three other games round out the card. As a result of Lowber's defeat last week, the Westmoreland County race promises excitement. Low-ber is horne to Herminie and rival Rillton has a tough home session with Yukon, Gratztown, another strong contender is idle, while Jean-nette goes to Keystone. Mollenauer Sets Fast Pace Mollenauer, scored on only once while having riddled the opposition goals 26 times, has a fighting Lincoln Hill team as a home attraction in the Washington County Section 1 feature.

Section 2 standouts have leading Roscoe as host to West Newton, Dunlevy at Van Voorhis and Vesta-burg at Mather. The Juniors make their start today with three games, all carded for 1 p. m. Novel Tour Planned The biggest soccer event in the world undoubtedly is the annual international match between England and Scotland. Scheduled for Hampden Park, Glasgow, next April 10, a crowd of 150,000 is assured.

Any fan wanting to combine a pleasure trip with a reserved seat at the game can get reservations now for a six-day round trip by airplanes for $625 from New York. The writer will gladly furnish information. Liverpool to Return Liverpool's famous Reds, who created a sensation last year on their first tour to the U. and then went on to win the English League First Division championship, has accepted another invitation to tour here next Spring. Much criticism was directed at local officials for failure to obtain a date last time in Pittsburgh.

Now is the time to talk it over and see how much help is forthcoming for a contest in Pittsburgh next Spring. It would take at least $5000 to obtain a date. If 1000 fans would undertake to put up $5 each to underwrite the venture, a date could be arranged. Then, after expenses are paid, each fan, in addition to seeing the game, would be refunded his share of the balance. The profits.

If any, could be donated to the USSFA Olympic Fund. cumulated. John Dresmich, former W. P. Councilman and prominent in 'United Mine Workers of America affairs, has been appointed a commissioner by President Daniel Zampini of the WPSA.

Collese Stars on Tap Bill Jeffrey, Penn State soccer coach who led a team of college all-stars against a selected district team last Spring at Bridgeville, is negotiating for another date on Thanksgiving Day. Fans voted the previous contest a success. A return game at State College early in December is also on tap. Proceeds would go to the Olympic Fund and players selected for the games would be candidates for the U. S.
