Navy Takes Leaf From Football Book Of Army 'Rip' Miller to Have Two 'Groups' of Varsity Players Annapolis, Sept.

10. (AP.) Navy has borrowed a leaf from Army5s football book. There will be no "first" team for the Sailors this fall and no second stringers. Like Army's football book. There will be Coach Edgar E.

(Rip) Miller will have a "first group" of 33 players, and a "second group" encompassing what's left. Then if Navy can borrow another page from the cadet pigskin manual particularly one dealing with victories, all will be well. Navy hasn't beaten Army in the annual service battle, resumed officially this fall after a two-year break In 1928 and 1929 and "unofficial" games for the past three years, since 1921. The prospects are brighter this fall than they have been for some time. With the Notre Dame system soundly installed.

Miller starts the season with a veteran squad. Only foUr men. Captain Jim Reedy, a guard. "Killer" Kane, a tackle, Ralph Pray, an end, and "Soupy" Campbell, fullback, were graduated. Hugh Murray, a brilliant end captains tke eleven with such veterans as Bob Harbold back at center, Bill Brooks at tackle, and Dick Burns at guard for the line nucleus.

Line material appears plentiful and big, averaging between 180 and 187 pounds. Gordon Chung-Hoon, fast-stepping Hawaiian, heads the list ol veteran-backs which also includes Les Slack, quarter, and Fred Bor-ries, half. The backs are light but fast and adapted to the quick-breaking Notre Dame style of play. Two promising sophomores have come im in Zabriski, a guard, and Tom King, a halfback, son of a former Navy captain. Dartmouth Expects 90 Players To Work In Practice Sessions Hanover, N.

Sept. 10. (AP.) The Dartmouth football team, facing a "suicide" schedule that calls for six successive major games, will open the 1933 season tomorrow as a squad or 90-cdd players, the larg est in the Green's history, reports to Head Coach Jackson Cannell on Memorial Field. Most of those ordered to report on the opening day received a thorough training in fundamentals during the spring training season and Cannell's greatest problem appeared to be the development of replacements to spell the regulars when the Indians go against Pennsylvania, Harvard. Yale, Princeton, Cernell and Chicago on successive Saturdays.

Strong Wind Kicks Up Rough Water Causing Drivers to Take Several Spills Billy Greenough In Third Place Hartford Amateur Lands Just Behind Crooks and Sawyer; George Raymond is Unplaced Middletown. Sept. 10. (Special.) A hearty north wind that whipped wp the Connecticut River course and made virtually Impossible even a near approach to record Bpeed, raised havoc with drivers and boat at the closing program of the Middle Atlantic and New England states outboard championships here Sunday afternoon. In mid-afternocn, after half a dozen drivers had been hurled overboard speeding through the rough water, the officials ordered postponement of one hour, but condition were little different when the racing was resumed.

Connecticut gained one title today when Kenneth MacKenzie, 19-years-old New Haven professional, won both heats In the Class competition, and xn so doing, set a pace at better than 45 miles an hour, the fastest time of the afternoon, but still well short- of the record. Hartford's Billy Greenough made a fine showing in Class by placing third In the point standing. Green, ough was flagged tenth, after a bad start fifth and fourth, in successive heats and in point total was outdone only by Sammy Crooks and Paul Sawyer, two of the countrys leading amateurs. George Raymond, also of Hartford, was eighth, ninth and fifth in the same class but was unplaced in point standing. But.

excepting for MacKenzie and Greenough, Connecticut drivers failed to make an appreciable showing, although the entry lists were dotted with Nutmeg State speedsters. Class B. Amateurs. First heat Won by Paul Sawyer, Pocono Lake, Pa; Jim Nunnelly, Detroit, second; Sam Crooks, Rumson. N.

Briton Sweep to Triumph in Heart-Crushing Five-Set Match Victor's Stamina Overpowers Anzac British Davis Cup Star Allows Rival But One Game in Last Two Sets of Battle Forest Hills, N. Sept. 10. (AP.) With a sudden, dynamic surge that swept everything before him and broke up an otherwise dramatically close battle for points, dark-haired, 24-year-old Frederick J.

Perry of England whipped the great Jack Crawford of Australia in five sets today for the tennis championship of the United States. A gallery of 14,000, little hort of a capacity crowd for the second all-foreign contest for the national singles title in history, watched the fiery Perry strike with the speed and power of a king cobra in the last two sets. The British Davis cup hero came from behind, after losing two heart-crushing set duela, to win by scores of 6-3, 11-13, 4-6, 6-0, 61. Great Match Player. Perry, proving himself one of the greatest matchplayejs of modern tennis history, smashed Crawford's 1933 winning streak when the marvelous Anzac was almost within sight of achieving the unprecedented "grand slam" of tennis.

Crawford previously had captured the Australian, French and Wimbledon singles championships. The Lithe, slim youth from the old country became the first Englishman in 30 years to capture the most coveted crown or American ennis. In succeeding the two-time former titleholder, Ellsworth Vines, who had passed out of the picture in the fourth round, Perry duplicated tne ieat achieved in 1903 by Hugh L. Doherty. These two.

Perry and Crawford, were distinctly the players of the year and the class of the tournament which saw America's last hopes fade abruptly Saturday through the defeat of Frank Shields and Lester Stoefen in the semi-finals. For three sets! they waged a close and frequently exciting contest for points, in which the fortunes shifted with highly dramatic swiftness. Breaks to Crawford. In the long second set. the "breaks" finally went to Crawford and the Anzac looked like the winner when he also took the third set.

There were dramatic moment that favored him in each of these sets, just when it seemed as though Perry, the aggressor throughout, was about to complete his command of the match. In the twenty-second game of the second set. Perry was within two points of winning, only to have Crawford rally behind a seriei of forcing shots to save his service. In the twenty-third game Perry led 40-30 as Crawford whirled to make a spectacular return of a difficult shot behind the baseline. As hf completed the stroke, Crawford spilled, much as he had done the day before, and landed flat on the turf.

Perry was at the net, his racquet poised for a "killing" return, only to plop the ball into the net. Losing his poise and control for the first time, the Briton double-faulted, lost his service and "blew" the twenty-fourth game with wild returns, enabling Crawford to square the match and forge ahead with more confidence. Another unusual incident marked Perry's lass of the third set. in the ninth game, on his own service Games were 4-all at the time. Perry trailed 30-40 as Crawford drove a looping shot toward the baseline.

Perry stood poised for the return, then changed: his mind, let the ball go and turned to the linesman, apparently expecting the call "out." Instead the linesman signified the shot was good. It gave the game to Crawford, who quickly capitalized the "break" by Winning his own service in the tenth game. Something happened to both players between sets, however. Perry came back like a raging lion to sweep everything before him in two lightning sets while Crawford, despite a commanding lead, tired and had his defense shot to pieces. The Anzac.

whether or not his twice-twisted knee troubled him, obviouslv lacked the stamina for the full route. His famous backhand, which had been under severe pressure from the outset, cracked completely and his erviee, too, fell apart. Perry's best and most decisive shot was a forehand drive, usually delivered on the run, with a leaping finish, and directed at Crawford's backhand corner. Repeatedlv the Britcn saved himself with this shot in tight paces and its repetition finally broke Crawford's backhand resistance. Bo'h staved close to the baseline, for the most part, waiting for the break of the opening.

Both attempted similar tactics and it looked during the first three sets as though they fight it cut until dark, so closely matched were their stroking resources. In the end. Perry's pressure, aggressiveness and control proved dec.sive. East Hartford Town Team Beats Marlboro The East Hartford Town team journeved to Malboro yesterday where it went on a batting spree to beat the Town team there 11 to 4.

Home Circle Beaten By Mayflowers Naktenis Has Edge in Long-Anticipated Duel With Taylor Mates Make Costly Errors The much-heralded pitching duel between "Lefty" Naktenis of the Mayflower Sales nine and Jackson Taylor of the Home Circle team finally took place yesterday afternoon at Bulkeley Stadium, with the former Hartford High ace winning out over the slim colored twirler whose mound work for Bulkeley High held the limelight last spring. Although fee scoie at the end of the final inning was 6 to 2 in favor of the Mayflowers, the game was close all the way, and held the attention of one of the largest crowds of the year until the end.

Both Naktenis and Taylor pitched excellent ball, and in spue of the victory of the Mayflowers' star, Jackson's supporters still feel that it has yet to be proven which is the better hurler, as misplay by iiia teammates were the main reason for Taylor's downfall yesterday. Taylor allowed only four buigles, while the big left-hander was reached for six. In all, seventeen batsmen were retired by the strikeout route, ten going down before the dazzling speed of Naktenis and seven falling victims to Taylor's puzzling curves. The Mayflowers went Into the lead in toe opening inning, scoring one run. Coughlin, second-sacker, was given a base on balls, and then sto.e second.

A passed ball allowed him to reach third base, and Beagle's outfield fly sent him across the plate. They Increased their advantage to two counters in the first of the fourth. George Dixon was passed, and scored when slow fielding of John Dixon's single to the outfield gave him time to take three bases. Home Circle picked up a run in the last of the fourth to decrease their opponents' lead to one tally, M. Malioy took first base when he was struck by a pitched ball, and scored when Dandurand poked the ball to deep right center for a three-bagger.

The two teams became deadlocked in the last of the sixth, when the Home Circle batters pushed another run across the platter. Dandurand reached first when Ccujhlin muffed his grounder, and stole second base. Taylor came to the plate and sent him home with a long double which smacked against the left field barrier. Two walks, doubles by Beagle and Shorten, and an error gave the Mayflower Sales team four runs in the final inning to break up the game. Taylor led both outfits at the plate, connecting for a double and a single in three times up.

B. Malioy of Home Circle was the only other batter to get more than one hit. Score: MAYFLOWER SALES. AB. R.

Playing in a half game, with the wind sweeping over the courts ox Forest Hills, with the ball at times almost under control, Perry came back to take his place with Larry Doherty who stopped Clothier under the realm of the stars and stripes in laua. Perry was trailing at the end of the third set but he came back with a savage, consistent attacic that literally swept Crawford from the court, to win 6-3, 11-13, 4-fi, 6-0, 6-1. Crawford's great march, starting In Australia, moving on througn France and England, was finally stopped at Forest Hills by an English rival who came down the stretch like two lions and a pair of tigers thrown in. Taking nothing from Perry, who played remarkable tennis, Crawford had to face the handicap of a bad knee. He had a fall on Saturday and before their match I saw him working over it.

"There's water on your knee." I suggested. "Just a bit," he said. "But I don't think it will bother me." The Australian had to play a limping game at times on any quick starts or hard gets. In spite of this the tennis Fred Perry played dserved the title. He had the heart and used his head.

His forcing strokes kept Crawford worried all afternoon. At any rate, leading two sets to one, Crawford had nothing left for the last two sets. The remarkable stylist of this championship, with 10,000 looking on In the final match was able to win only one game from the last two sets. He had nothing left to meet Perry's final drive. Perry had too much foot speed-too much pace on the ball for Crawford to meet with what he had left.

Champion of Australia, France and England, it was his fate to fall before an English star at the top of his game, with far more In reserve than Crawford had left. After all, these grand slams are hard to make even when vou have a lot of cards. And Crawford has had a lot of cards to play In the way of form and style, strokes and skill. The first two sets of this British-Australiad party were exactly opposite in character. In the first set, much to the sur- Erise of 10.000 spectators, the black aired Perry took entire charge of the show.

He was the main actor and master of ceremonies. He out-forced Crawford and kept him largely on the defensive with a slashing attack that never let up. Perry won this set 6-3, without any great rumpus about it. The English champion promptly got the jump in the second set, but after a slow start Crawford sunk his teeth in the match and began to increase his pace. With the roistering wind increas ing in force, each had a hard time takmg a service game around the middle of the match.

It was all ding-dong and niD and tuck, anybody's battle until Crawford saved himself at a critical moment with the greatest shot of the afternoon. Needing only one point to even up the match at twelve all, Perry lifted a lob to deep bact court, almost on the line. Crawford barely got to tiie ball and then with a backhand flip made an almost impossible get with his back to the net. This miracle shot and the sudden roar of the crowd stonped Perry's attack. The second set needed all that goes to make up great tennis, and only Crawford's great counter-at.
