Villanova Succumbs to Manhattan, 9-6, for First Loss of Season Xxt Mafretpftm Inquirer PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 25. 1941 adefgh 19 Temple Crushes Byckinell by 411-114 Strictly Sport Golfing Byrd Flies South For Vacation; Hell Golf Unlike Baseball, Sam Gets Fun Out of This Profession Ily CY PETERMAN ONE of the last to South this autumn is Sammy, the Kolfinp Byrd, although Byrds like the Admiral go much farther South when once embarked. Sam departs after this week, taking a month's vacation around his home town, Birmingham, doing a spot (f hunting with Cliff Meigs in Florida, but relaxing for the most part by playing golf.

Yes, golf, his favorite pastime, although he works at it seven days a week now as a profession. Sam was about it the other day while a soft October shower insistently pattered upon the pavement and putting green, drumming discouragement upon the umbrellas of early two-fomes hastily retreating from the course to seek the congenial interior of Merion's pro shop. "Sit down, you don't want to slosh around in this," Sam invited, thrusting forward a chair. "This is the sort of weather you can learn more golf inside, just talking." SD WE fanned a couple hours there with Sam, one of our favorite actors in sport, by the way, for he's the only one we know who hit the big leagues in both baseball and golf. A rather unique position when you con-fider, too, that Byrd embarked upon the second career 6fter 12 years on professional diamonds.

Which of the two was the more fun? -Golf." he replied, without hesitation. "That's why I ill probably play every day on this vacation. I honestly enjoy golf, which is more than I could say of baseball, although it was a mighty satisfaction playing with the Yankees and Reds. But you don't notice many big leaguers ylaying ball just for fun when their season's over, now, do you?" Golf, however, provides the informality and relaxation of just going out one can even play alone teeing up one, two or more balls, whacking them down the fairway, trying out new stuff, attempting new shots, working out this theory or experimenting with that TEMPLE'S STAR BACK STOPPED IN SECOND QUARTER ON ATTEMPT TO RUN BACK BUCKNELL PUNT Photo shows Andy Tomasic (17), Temple, hitting the ground after being tackled by Miller (12), Bucknell, as teams battled in night contest. you can try and do that "0 THERE'S so much was impossible in me spending all that baseball, and especially with time out of action, waiting Montgomery Wins Verdict 20,000 Watch Owls Roll Over Bisons Ily STAN HAIIMG AllTNEK Temple looked like a mighty football machine last night.

The Owls rolled over a supposedly stalwart Huckncll eleven for touchdowns and a 41-14 triumph over tho up-Staters in their 15th annual battle before 20,000 at the Cherry and White Stadium. In addition to the six touchdowns, Morrison's charges crossed the Bucknell goal line on three other occasions only to have the plays Jaspers Score Early To Conquer Wildcats By PKKRY LFVVIS Inquirer Sports Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 24. In one period the Villanova Wildcats threw away their chance of achieving an undefeated season when they succumued to Manhattan at the Polo Grounds here tonight, 9 to 6. After a scoreless first period Manhattan had possession on Vil-lanova's 42, when the Jaspers punted out of bounds on Villanova's 9 to open the second quarter.

On the next play Al Postus was trap called back for infractions of the 2 Cue Titlisfs Tie for Lead ped behind the line of scrimmage and downed in the end zone by three Jasper tacklers for the safety which put Manhattan two points in the lead. A few moments later Charlie Mc-Nulty, Jasper right halfback, got loose on a sweep play around the Wildcats' right wing and ran 28 yards for a Manhattan touchdown. Jimmy Worst, Manhattan back, then converted and Manhattan's total of points was increased to 9. 15,000 SEE GAME Fifteen thousand spectators, one of the biggest crowds ever to witness a Manhattan-Villanova game, saw Villanova come back in the third period and pound over' a touchdown from thr 25-yard line after Ed Kasky had recovered McNulty's fumble. Joe Pezelski and Zig Zamlynski made the necessary 25 yards on six running plays and a forward pass.

It was Zamlynski who went over for the touchdown on a straight buck from the two-yard line. Kasky failed to convert and the Main Liners had to be content with the six points. Thereafter Villanova was constantly threatening, but every time they seemed to be well under way their scoring gesture was interrupted by a fumble or a penalty. PLAY RECALLED On one occasion Pezelski gathered in a kick and brought it back 37 yards to Manhattan's 12. but the play was recalled and the Wildcats were penalized five yards for roughing the kicker.

Villanova did not look like the Continued on Page 21. Column 3 Boston University Triumphs by 14-0 BALTIMORE, Oct. 14 (A. Boston University's Terriers stabbed through Western Maryland's line tonight for touchdowns in the first and second periods, then withstood several Green Terror counterattacks to win a night football engagement, 14-0. By FRANK O'GARA A combination of the field's two extremes Ralph Greenleaf who won the first title, and Willie Mos-conl, who captured the last forged a step ahead of their rivals in the race for the 1941 world's pocket billiards championship by scoring victories last night at Town Hall, Broad and Race sts.

Greenleaf, who first broke into the charmed circle in 1919 at the age of 19, was given a tussle by rookie Harold Baker of Hollywood, but pulled through with his fourth straight triumph, 125-78, in 28 long innings. Mosconi was hard pressed to defeat another tourney freshman, Arthur (Babe) Cranfleld, of Syracuse, 125-93. in 12 frames.

Caras yesterday afternoon downed Don Tozer, a third newcomer, 125-34, in 14 innings, and Crane disposed uf the veteran Onofrio Lauri. of Brooklyn, 125-90, in 16 innings. Rudolph was idle. Greenleaf was coasting to an absurdly easy triumph against a foe that couldn't pocket a ball with a shovel as he led, 67-1, in'nine innings. But Baker suddenly came to life.

Holding his foe in check. Baker ran 46 in the 21st inning to pull up to 69-95. He missed an absurdly easy shot in over-reaching himself instead of using the bridge to halt his string. Ralph eventually ran out with a cluster of 16. Earlier in the match, the veteran had outmaneuvered and outshot his foe by a wide margin, forcing him to take gambles that Continued on Page 21, Column 8 Maryland Foe Of Penn Today By CY PETERMAN Back on their home turf, familiar Franklin Field, the undefeated University of Pennsylvania football squad entertains Maryland's Terrapins before an expected crowd of about 35,000 today.

It is the fifth meeting between the two, last year's game resulting in a lop-sided victory for the Red and Blue, while Maryland won only once since they began in 1922. The 1923 team, coached by the man now president of the University of Maryland, H. C. Byrd. who inciden tally leads the cheering delegation ar riving with the team Just before noon, upset Penn 3-0 for the only Terrapin triumph.

IN AND OUT TEAM This year's squad from the Old Line State is an in and out aggregation: It defeated Hampden-Sydney In the opener, 18-0, tied Western Maryland, an old, steam-heated rival, but took a terrible ironing from Duke, 50-0. Rebounding last week. It caught Florida after the 'Gators lost to Villanova, won by 13-12 in the game of all games Maryland wanted to win. There was a holdover feud from last year's clash with Florida on which Maryland made good. The same Maryland lineup starts today and Penn, except for injured Don Bitler at centre, will also send In the same bunch that whipped the Big Three in succession.

Bill Mos-tertz, a JV last year who improved magically under Penn's coaching, starts his first big league game at the pivot. FINE EXHIBITION Mostertz played 26 minutes against Princeton last Saturday, however, and eave a fine exhibition nntahlv on knocking down short forwards into the flat zone. He may have to do a lot of this against Maryland, for Coach George Munger Is seriously concerned about the visitors' aerial Continued on Page 20. Column 6 Glen-Nor Is Scored Upon But Wins, 7-6 Glen-Nor High's eleven was scored upon last night for the first time in two years. Capitalizing on a costly fumble midway in the third period, a fiery Prospect Park eleven drove 29 yards for a touchdown but the educated toe of Gordon Atherholt brought a 7-6 triumph to Glen-Nor as 6000 fans jammed the Prospect Park Field to witness one of Delaware county's most important struggles in years.

Through 12 consecutive battles the Indians have successfully defended their goal line against all comers but the previously unbeaten Prospectors were not to be denied this one bit of glory even though a fast charging forward wall was to deprive them of their chance for least a tie. ATHERHOLT KICKS GOAL Glen-Nor scored first when Dave Starr culminated a 45-yard drive with a 13-yard gallop around right end for a touchdown and Atherholt place-kicked the extra point. However, in the third session Starr was the victim of the miscue that gave Prospect Park its golden opportunity. On another right-end gallop he fumbled the ball and the alert Continued on Pagr 28, Column 8 for a chance to get in the lineup. "We had our fun playing ball, of course, but not after the game began.

That was strictly business. But in the mornings there were races, batting practice, the less strenvous part before it became serious at o'clock. "We had sprints sometimes. Ben Chapman, Earl ('( -mbs and myself. Combs with his long stride could really run.

although Chapman beat him by a step when we ran a hundred-yard dash once. Later they measured and discovered Earl ran about three yards farther than Ben. "Remember Chad Kimsey of St. Louis? Big fellow? He could ramble, too, but I'll not forget the time he was matched to race Lou Gehrig, one of those hard, low-charging runners who digs up lots of gravel as he goes. Lou, a conservative sort, made up his mind he'd beat big Chad and told all of us to get bets down.

"And Lou really gave Chad a lacing; after the first 2." vards the St. Louis player was sprawling all over the field, and we Yankees had those Browns really peeling off the roll to pay off." BYRD has many a tale of his famous team-mate, George Herman Ruth, now also a golfer, but as an avocation only. The Babe was quite a problem in ways, but just when he was riding to a fall he'd pull something so tremendous all his sins were forgotten. Like the time he got in just in time to make the lineup, bleary-eyed and berserk from a night's revel. "Miller Huggins was ready to slap another huge fine nn Babe, but against the White Sox that afternoon, in their own park, he poled two homers, two doubles, drove in about seven runs and kept us ahead of the challenging A's.

"That night the scribes asked Huggins what he would do about Babe's breaking rules. "'Do? What can anybody the Miller answered. 'What would you do with a guy who single-handed wins the ball game like he But that was more than a decade ago and the Babe has passed from view along with many another robust Yank, including the faithful stand-in, Sammy Byrd. Only the latter is now up there with the leaders when important golf is played. WE asked how much he had added to his game when he turned seriously to golf, and Sam said plenty.

A good golfer, able to break 70 rather often as a ball player and easily the class of big league rivals at the time, Byrd found he had to "strengthen his left side," as he put it, before he hoped to compete with golf's elite. "I added a lot, yes, a whole lot," he confessed, for even today, when Sam gives a lesson, he emphasizes only a few main points, but that "left side strength" is first of all. Considering that he wr.s a brisk rightfield hitter (he sccked two homers in an opening game against the A's one spring), this turning around to emphasize the left was quite a trick. Yet today Byrd is among our most effortless players, rhythmic ofT tee and fairway as if those first 12 years as a paid athlete had been devoted entirely to golf. When he wanted help he went to Henry Picard, whom Sam rates very high among professionals.

THE winter league of big-time golf, now beckoning anew and to which Byrd will point after vacation, has its fringe of fabulous characters as well. Fellows like "Titanic" Thompson, that gambling man of shrewd resource and many moods, whose urging has brought several obscure golfers into the limelight and who's no slouch himself at hitting the ball. Titanic is supposed to bet on anything, including the weather in the next hour. What is that story about his wagering on the weight of a huge boulder? He bet the rancher on whose property it stood he could guess closer to its tonnage, then had two men sneak down and put it on a scales. After the rancher's Negro minions likewise made noctural computations and reported exact findings, Titanic's men returned and chiseled 300 pounds off the bottom.

There is no record of what happened to the rancher's hirelings when their boss, perplexed and furious, paid off his "sure thing." Special to The Inquirer CHICAGO. Oct. Jit HoD Montgomery gave a convincing demonstration of why he is recognized as foremost lightweight contender by fighting his way to a 10-round decision over Julie Kogon, clever boxer from New Haven, in the Co liseum here tonight. Although his first round knockout of Davey Day in an earlier appearance in this city indicated the Phila-delphian is a devastating puncher he was unable to score a single knockdown tonight. Nevertheless when his hand was raised in victory Montgomery was given a tremendous ovation by the crowd of 4558 who gave up gross receipfs of $8960.

KOGON FIGHTS HARD The reason for this is that the fans realized that in Kogon. Bob was not meeting a setup. Julie had extended the 22-year-old Pennsylvanian in a previous meeting in New York 10 months ago. He made Bob fight all the way again tonight before losing on the unanimous decision of Referee Bernard Weisman and Judges William O'Connell and Ed Klein. It was Montgomery's 12th straight success and one of the hardest he has achieved this year.

Kogon started out by winning the first round, using a series of left hooks to the head ard several solid rights to the ear to accomplish the trick. BOB FINDS RANGE Montgomery, who forced the battle throughout, found the range with a right to the cheek, in the second round, the punch resounding through the large hall in unison with the Continued on Fage 21, Column 7 Sculling Crown Won by Williams PRINCETON, N. Oct. 24. Ogden Williams '42 won the Princeton one-mile sculling championship for the Coach's Cup by three lengths on Carnegie Lake this afternoon.

His time of 6 minutes, 30 seconds was a record in the 10-year-old race, bettering the rest of the field by seven seconds. Darryl Zinc spurted ahead at the start and maintained a lead of two lengths, till the final minute of the race, when his sore arm could no longer stand the strain. Ogden Williams staged a terrific sprint in the final quarter of a mile to win by three lengths. TEAMS Place '40 Score 12- 8 Drexel Field Indiana, Pa. Baltimore, Md.

SUTCH SPARKS ATTACK Sparked by George Sutch's sensational 79-yard dash for a touchdown in the flr-t ten minutes of play, the Owl offense gathered momentum and realized on their inherent potential power for the first time this year.

They crossed the Bison goal line twice in the first period, once in the second, twice in the third, and once more in the fourth. They made 18 first downs to the visitors' 7 and gained 310 yards in scrimmage to the Bisons' 15. They whirled around the ends, marched through the line and hurled passes practically at will. Bucknell put up a game scrap but a futile one unless the 14 points they scored in the fourth period can be counted as a moral victory. InKnupp, Fahringer, Magagna and DeAngel'is the visitors displayed a quartet of ball carriers that might have gone places with better blocking.

The Bison forward wall, however, did a lot of useless ploughing around Temple stumps that would not move or fall over. TOMASIC GETS GOING Andy Tomasic, the Owl candidate for Ail-American honors, played with his left side incased in a shield of tape and was a bit slow in getting under way, but when he once warmed to the task, stole the yard-gaining honors away from his brilliant compatriot, George Sutch. The little bit of dynamite from Kingston scored one touchdown to raise his total for the season to eight, was credited with 106 yards from scrimmage in 21 tries and was deprived of 87 more and a second touchdown when two runs were called back because of fouls by his mates. It was not until late in the game that Tomasic scored his touchdown and it was a sincere tribute to the young fellow that the Temple cheering section shouted "We want Tomasic," rather than "We want a touchdown," when the Owls got within scoring distance. SUTCH PLAYS WELL Sutch was almost as brilliant as Tomasic.

The big fellow from Nor-ristown ran like a deer and with the power of a steam-roller. He was never halted without gain and had he been in the game as long as Tomasic might easily have taken top honors. Six Cherry and White men took a hand in crossing the Bucknell goal. Sutch started the parade with his 79-yard stampede. A few minutes later DiTomo unleashed a 28-yard forward pass to Moister in the end zone for touchdown No.

Ringer Involves 3 Philadelphians CHICAGO, Oct. 24 (A. The thoroughbred Hasty Notion, now under guard of detectives at the Laurel, Md race track, was identified by witnesses at a hearing today as the "ringer" Rapid Bone which raced to victory at Hawthorne track, Chicago, Sept. 24 at odds of $18.40 to $2. The identification was made as the Illinois Racing Board opened an investigation of the case, with representatives of the State's Attorney's office and the U.

S. District Attorney's office in attendance to determine whether criminal action might be brought against the principals involved. PHILADELPHIANS ABSENT R. V. C.

Van Cleve, horseman of Abilene, who was listed as owner and trainer of Rapid Bone, failed to answer a request to appear at the hearing. William S. Rafferty and his aunt, Mrs. George Ehinger, both of Philadelphia, said to be owners of the horse, also failed to appear. After an all day session, the hearing was continued until next Tuesday.

Identification of the horse was made by William Hamilton, steward representing the racing board; Brad Brodsky, of Philadelphia, who sold the horse to Rafferty for $9500; Jockey Ralph Bonn, who rode the thoroughbred in the two Chicago races, and others. BRODSKY SOLD HORSE Brodsky, who purchased the horse in a claiming race for $5500 from Joseph E.
