For football rabids will see four of the, five quad-city prep gridiron teams blow the lid off the 1947 season Sept. 12, three of them entertaining rivals and one going away.

Only Moline stays idle, delaying its opener for another week. Davenport's Blue Devils tackle the Burlington Greyhounds at Brady street field, Bowen of Chicago invades Rock Island, and West Rockford comes to East Moline in the sneak pre-views of the prep campaign that promises the most keen rivalry in years in the Quad-City conference.

Coach Wally Schwank, who made an enviable record of suffering only one loss in 10 games last season, finds himself confronted with a puzzler in the backfield, while Johnny Oelerich, whose Academy Knights loom as the most powerful aggregation at that school since the memorable year of 1942 when the Knights clipped Davenport, is experiencing difficulty with a line. Tackle to tackle is the major task for Shorty Almquist at Rock Island. Moline appears to be fairly well set for balance.

Fast Moline's Ray Holmes is faced with almost a complete rebuilding job, but no one dares to take the Orange lightly at any time. Holmes always comes up with something. How well the coaches put together the pieces of their respective jig-saw puzzles in three weeks of experimenting will be determined in this week's inaugurals. Loop For Colleges DR. JOHN W.

TAYLOR LOUISVILLE, (AP) A new "play for pay" football league to be sponsored by a group of colleges and universities has been proposed by Dr. John W. Taylor, president of the University of Louisville. Taylor, at 40 one of the youngest university presidents in the nation, outlined his plan at a news conference yesterday. He said profits from such a venture could be used by the schools to promote broadened intramural sports pro grams.

Another advantage, he said, would be "added community serv ice in providing the sports minded American public with additional good football contests rather than so-called amateur ones." Taylor addressed his proposal by mail to pesidents of 14 institu tions with urban conditions similar to the U. of L. He said he hopes for favorable replies within a week, and a meeting of the presidents in Louisville during September. flS. BY UNITED PRESS The All-America conference prepared for its first 1947 inter- sectional battles today as the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Colts trained their sights west for Friday games against the Los Angeles Dons and San Francisco 49'ers.

Coach Cecil Isbell's Colts, who opened their season yesterday with a 16 to 7 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers at Baltimore, will tackle the Dons, while the Yankees match their rugged attack against the undefeated 49'ers. Joe Vetrano's fourth quarter field goal gave San Francisco a 17 to 14 victory over Los Angeles in the only other ganje played yesterday but the biggest cog in the 49'er offense was former Stanford star, Frankie Albert, who led San Francisco's T-formation ground and air smashes. Lew Worsham Wins Denver Open Title With 276 Aggregate DENVER. (UP) Lew Worsham of Oakmont, today pocketed the $2,500 top prize money he won with a rousing 276 in the Denver Open and reasoned that the little woman de serves all the credit. "She was with me in St.

Louis for the National Open," Warshaw said. "I won it. She went home to Oakmont and I didn't win another big tournament. Then she joined me here. And I won the Denver Open.

She's the differ ence, all right." But for all Worshain's perfume-tinted theorizing, the gallery which followed him "gured that it was consistently good golf more than anything else that brought him home four strokes ahead of Ben Hogan, Tommy Wright and Johnny Palmer the boys who tied for second spot with 280 s. It was Bill Tuman night at Browning field, Moline, Saturday in the last motorcycle racing program of the season. The smooth-riding Rockford boy ran away with everything but the quarter-mile track, to win the ovation of nearly 3,000 fans, the largest crowd of the season, who gave him a tremendous applause as he was awarded the trophy by Charles Timmerman, which was emblematic of the most outstanding performance throughout the season. The program was spiced with two added features, arranged by Don Kelsey of Moline. One was a parade of two-wheeled, motor-propelled vehicles of all types and sizes.

The other was a race between two old time machines that brought quite a chuckle from the fans. Bob Booth on a 1912 Harley-Davidson and Mr Timmerman on his 1909 Super-X, put on quite a show of old time racing. Booth won the race when the old Super -X coughed and conked out on the second lap. Jersey City Annexes International Crown The Jersey City Giants, cashing in on their refusal to admit defeat, today carried their third pennant in 43 years into the International league governor's cup playoff series. Jersey City, the circuit's 1946 cellar club, climaxed a Cinderella story drive on the final day of the season when they defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 6 to 3, to beat out the defending champion Montreal Royals by two per centage points.

Montreal held a two-game lead over Jersey City last Friday and seemed assured of its third straight pennant but the Royals won only two of their last four games, while the Giants swept their last three. Gober, Lockie Tie for Medal Honors at 142 Von Maur and Koehler in Playoff to Round Out "Sweet Sixteen" The first round of match play in the 18th Tri-City title golf tournament is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon. In it will be the 16 players who emerged as low qualifiers in the 36-hole qualifying round at Duck Creek over the week-end. The 16th player has not been determined for two of them, tied at 148 for the 36 holes, must stage a sudden-death play-off some time before Thursday afternoon. They are Joe Von Maur of the Davenport Country club and Lloyd Koehler of the Davenport Muny club.

Ted Lockie of Davenport Muny and Hank Gober of the Oakwood club were co-winners of the medal honors in the qualifying round. They had 142, two under par for the 36 holes. The first round of match play finds all eight clubs in the Quad-Cities represented for the first time in the history of the event. Saukie and Oakwood clubs, with three players in the "Sweet Sixteen," are leading the field, but Davenport Muny can tie this feat if Koehler wins the play-off. Short Hills Country club and the Arsenal have two each.

The Davenport Country Club will have three if Von Maur captures the play-off. Outdor club of Duck Creek and Black Hawk Hills have one each. Lockie drew F. L. "Whitey" Barnard, who paced the field the first day, as his opening round opponent.

Gober, in the lower bracket, drew the de- fending champion, Pete Uze- lac. As the first round shapes up, the fur is certain to fly. In the field is the defending champ and two former Tri-City kings, Pete Johnston of Short Hills and Hank Gober of Oakwood. Gober is also the title holder at his club. Willard Johnson, who faces Marcus Decker of Oakwood in the opening round, is the champion of Short Hills.

Paul McClanahan, who qualified with 145, is the champion of the public links tournament recently conducted by The Daily Times and the Davenport Park Board. Two old golf buddies will meet in the opening round. They are Lou Ehlers, who qualified from the Rock Island Arsenal with the second lowest score, 143, ano Lee Keim of Davenport Muny. Keim is the fellow who defeated Earl Wilde in the Iowa State tournament. McClanahan plays one of the newcomers in Tri-City tournament competition.

A great spirit prevails in the Ambrose camp just two weeks before the first game, Sept. 21. Making a selection of a first eleven at the present appears impossible.

All positions remain wide open. Even injuries haven't affected the Ambrose grids too greatly. Although Dick Forbes, Don Doody, Don Black, and Mike Scheck are on the injured list, it is expected that they will return to full strength within a couple of days. Two-a-day workouts will continue at the Ambrose camp until the start of school Monday, September 15. Coach Larry "Moon" Mullins, back from a Chicago clinic that was attended by over 300 high school coaches from the greater Chicago area, said today, "We'll stress forward pass protection and punt formation this week." St.

Ambrose college athletic officials announced today that the following cigar stores would be official ticket headquarters for all home games: Martins, Hickey's, Smoke Ring and Vosburg Cos-tello. eran campaigners in the tourna ment, Allan Rose Oakwood. Bob Reagan, who qualified for the Tri-City event for the first time, faces another newcomer, Jack Engler.

Eastern Iowa and western Illinois youths are making spirited bids for places on the Northwestern university football team that went into practice this week. Perhaps, no other school in the conference boasts of so many players who have been seen in action on local gridirons, save maybe Iowa. Just take a look at these names that dot the Wildcat roster: Loran and Lawrence Day, the twins formerly of Davenport; Jim Holland, Rock Island; Bill Garrett and Bill Ford, Moline; Lloyd Stoik, and Dick Price, Clinton; Ed Tunnicliff, Kewanee; and Lloyd Hawk in son, Galesburg. Dean Burridge of Clinton also is reported to be back in Evanston.

Bob Voigts, new Wildcat coach already has done some shifting with his players, and the boys mentioned above figured prominently in the switches. "Fats" Day has been moved from tackle to guard, and twin, "Peewee," was transferred from fullback to right half. Holland, formerly an end, is expected to blossom out as a ball carrier, having been shifted to right half. Dick Price, who played quarterback with the team a year ago, is operating as the No. 2 center behind Alex Sarkisian, one of the best in the conference in 1946.

Four boys within the area are listed on the Illinois roster. John Stevenson of Rock Island is a tackle candidate and Bob Garrity, also of Rock Island, is a halfback bidder. Jim Johnson from Clinton is in his third season on the squad, as is Jim Evans of Galesburg. With two exceptions, Iowa gridders will wear the same numbers as last season. Em Tunnell who carried No.

32 a year ago, will trot out with No. 44 on his back. Bob Reynolds will be No. 70, instead of 15. New numbers to be watched closely by the fans are: No.

20, Willard Shaw; No. 32, Al DiMarco; No, 55, Al Baffo; No. 65, Otis Finney; No. 67, John Estes, and No. 18, Charles Zieke.

Three names Bob John, and Jim will call 21 of the Iowa squad. There are 10 Bobs (Geigel, Kaufman, Longley, McKenzie, Nelson, Phillips, Reynolds, Smith, Snyder and Zender), followed by six Johns (Dittmer, Estes, Legg, Kelso, Tedore, and Van Esch-en) and five Jims (C'ozad, Lawrence, McKinstry, Shoaf, and Smith). John Byrd, Iowa City tackle, is the heaviest member of the squad, weighing 230, with Otis Finney of Chicago being the lightest at 157. Bill Kay of Walnut is the tallest at 6-5, and Earl Banks, the all-conference guard, the shortest at 5-7 M. Oldest player is Ross Anderson, 1941 right guard, who was 26 last February.

Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame can field a team of brothers this season. Among his candidates are George, Jack and Chuck Connor, Chicago; Jack and Joe Fallon, Alton, Terry ajid Jim Brennan, Milwaukee; Gerry and Don Degley, Yonkers, N. and John and Joe Helwig, Los Angeles. U.C.L.A., foe of Iowa Sept. 26, will be the nation's second best team come Dec.

Next. Friday's contest will mark the dedication of a new high school stadium in Muscatine. It is not known whether the lighting system will be complete by that time, so if not the Ambrose-Muskie tilt will have to be played at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. In the scrimmage, which -was the bie factor in determining starting players, the "Whites" ran up to a 12 to 0 count against thp "Reds" before Oelerich be Ran to substitute.

The "Whites" tallied once more for a final 18 to 0 margin. Jack Bush and Jim Hippler, both senior lettermen, and Jack McKinney, diminutive junior dashman, displayed a potent running attack, which looked like the best balanced backfield at the academy in several years. Hippler and McKinney operating at half-back, and Bush at full, directed by Bill McCabe at quarter, ripped through the "Red" line with pleasing regularity for Coach Oelerich, The fnur of them Eive the Knights just about the balance that a ennd backfield should have.
