The Detroit Lions put a stopper on highcoring John Klmbrough Wednesday night, but two of his former Texaa AIM mates Bill Conatser and Bill Dawson, produced the payoff punch that gave the Western Army all-stars a 12 to 0 victory and 2 to 1 edge In their charity series with National football league clubs.

He's lefthanded, but opponents My be gives them hard battles across the tennis net Cards keep weather-eye open in race Postponements hurt chances BY PAUL 8CHEFFEL8. NEW YORK. (UP).

Despite the possibility of poor weather hampering their Inspiring stretch drive to cut. the pace setting Dodgers' lead of three games, the St Louis Cardinals still were confident Thursday of returning the National league flag to the west The opening game of the Red-birds' final eastern campaign against the New York Giants was postponed Wednesday because of weather. Now they have decided to keep an eye on the weather as well as the scoreboard and news of Dodger doings. Fortunately for the Cards, the Giants had an open date and the washed-out contest will be played Thursday. But from this point on in there is a possibility of games being washed out and summarily canceled for the Cards have no more open dates.

Postponements Hurt Even if an open date developed in the Cards' schedule they would' not be able to play a postponed game, according to league rules, unless all other clubs consented to the plan. It seems unlikely that the Dodgers would agree. Last occurrence of that kind was in 1934 when the Cards had a game washed out at Ebbets Field and the Giants approved a later meeting. The Redblrds won that game and then rocketed on to beat the Giants out of the flag by two games. Yankees, A's Win.

In addition to the St Louis-New York game, the Cincinnati-Boston contest and the double-header between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were postponed in the National league Wednesday. The Washington-Chicago double-header in the American league was also postponed. In the only day game played, Joe Gordon's 18th homer with the bases loaded in the first inning enabled the Yankees to beat the Browns, 8-3. Gordon also hammered out a single, driving in five tallies to help Ernie Bonham register his 19th victory. Phil Marchlldon's no-hit relief pitching gained him his 17th victory as the Athletics beat the Indians, 5-4, In 13 innings Thursday night.

It was their last meeting of the season, before only 4,127 spectators. Cornhusker liome games at 3 All Nebraska home football games will start at 3 this fall instead of the previous starting time of 2 o'clock. "We are abiding: by a Big Six conference rule in this respect," John Selleck, Husker athletic director announced some time ago. All of Nebraska's out of town games will likewise start at 3p. except the battles scheduled with Iowa and the Seahawks at Iowa City.

Sergeant Joe and Pvt. Conn get furloughs Rest for title match Oct. 12 FORT RILEY, Kas. VP). With brand new sergeant stripes sewed on his uniform, Joe Louis left this cavalry training post Wednesday on the first leg of a Journey that will lead to a fight with Billy Conn In New York Oct 12 in defense of his heavyweight boxing crown.

Louis was promoted from corporal to sergeant Just a few hours before he departed for Kansas City. At. the same time he was granted an emergency 37-day furlough, which will give him four days to return to camp after the fight. He planned to leave Kansas City at 11 o'clock Wednesday, night for Chicago, where he will meet hi manager, Julian Black, and fight Promoter Mike Jacobs. The three are to go to New York and then Sergeant Louis will go to Detroit for a ten day visit at home.

ne expects 10 siari ngni Training Sept. 21 at Greenwood Lake, N. where he haa trained for most of hla fights. "Twenty-one days Is all I need to train," he drawled. "I'm in better shape than I've ever been be fore a fight." Pvt.

Billy Conn also received his order from the war department at Fort' Wadsworth Wednesday granting him a furlough to prepare for the fight He, promptly packed up and left for a brief visit to his home in Pittsburgh. The 1 morning workout wai confined to fund amenta Is a gro work. Kickers and passers fi given a chanca to display their, wares, tha Husker staff calling upon five and seven flip-pers to te at skill. Altho all tha audi vmmo tailbacks ort left halfbacks took a turn booting the leather, Dale Bradley, Roy Long; and Howie Debus got most of the) attention along with Zikmund and Fullback Walry Hopp. Passing a Threat eraaiey, ueous ana Long were likewise included among the passers.

Addded to this threesome were' Fred Metheny and Bob Cooper, quarterbacks and Sophomores Dick Thompson and Hopp. "We didn't score a single touchdown thru the alrlanea last year altho our passing attack clicked fairly well down field," Preanell commented. "We are going to try to remedy that situation." Husker passing should be improved for all the throwers except Thompson and have had game experience under their belts. Nebraska's ends this season appear to be a better bunch of pass grabbers than the 1941 lot Ends Are Tall. Sophomore Vic Clark, for ample, stands 6-4; Tall Bert Giss-ler towers above the rest at 6-7; the starting pair of Jack Hazen and Marv Thompson are both over 6 feet while Ed Nyden's height-iaf listed at 6-3.

Jerry Kathol is 6-1; Chuck Thorne stands at 6 feet even; Dean Gelwick's height Is 6-2; $hat of BUI Hewitt, 6-2 inches and Johnny Peters, 6-1. Nebraska's offense will differ only slightly from last year altho Head Coach Glenn Preanell no doubt has a few tricks-up his sleeve. With veteran quarterbacks in Metheny and Cooper, the Husker staff feels that game conduct aa pertaining to strategy will be in capable hands. The Huskers appear to be fairly well balanced except for lack of experience at center and fullback. Bob McNutt should help tha tackle situation mightily and-if Chuck Wright and Dwayne Do-meier come thru along with soma of the Other sophomores, there" will be few worries at that position.

Run Obstacle Course. Presnell has been working hla men hard, winding up each-work out with a run thru the obstacle course. It is usually a tired bunch of boys when time is called each afternoon. Double dally workouts will con tinue at least. until school starts.

"Iowa started a week earlier than we did and they will have a game under their belts before' we meet them," Presnell com mented. "That is a big advantage and we will have to work hard to get In shape and have our plays clicking and our defenses set by Sept 26." rro 9 DL'GJ AMERICAN IXAGTJK.

NEW YORK. (NANA). The performance of Norman Standlee, Army's (Eastern squad) big fullback, against Steve Owen's New York Giants on Saturday, will carry double interest. On the west era squad MaJ. Wallace Wade figures John lmbrough about aa good a a ainv vtacti I would want.

The big, fast moving Texan l' 1 has starred In both Army (Western Norman St (idle squad) con-testa. L001, Bob Ney'and tiH insists that Standlee will be lust as o-nnri perhaps better. The 238 pound ball carrier from Stanford and the Chlcucn is rated by many insider on a par with Bronko Nagurski. He is not only big but extremely fast, a tough man to surround and bring down in the open. Clark Shaughnessy, hla Stan-ford coach, rates Standlee aa the greatest rmiDack history on his top performances; He is the man who haa Big Steve Owen fighting off nightmares.

Steve haa a strong Giant team, but so haa Bob Ney-land on the Army side. AFTER ALL THREE It might be stated here that Colonel Neyland, bringing his stout Army squad in from New Havenf is out after all three games against the professionals. But hla main attention at this spot la focusaed entirely on the Giants this coming Saturday. With the various thrllla promised most of the afternoon, this game ahould be a sellout, even againat powerful opposition from other sporting fields. There is a keen percentage race on between the Western and Eastern Army squads, not overlooking the fact that Colonel Neyland and Major Wade have been hot rivals in the south for many years where Duke and Tennessee were nearly always up among the leaders.

IN FULL SWING Football is now In full swing. By two weeks from Saturday Pennsylvania, Harvard, Michigan and other big colleges will be testing out various naval cadet uniti who introduce a new football feature. And there is still tremendous interest left in the college program. The earlier belief that college football would be at low ebb has now changed. There will be Just as many strong squads this season as any past campaign has known.
