Washington, March 1. (IP) When a man bites a dog it's news and when professional football accuses college football of proselytizing pro gridmen well, it's George Preston Marshall. "I'm appealing," wailed the owner of the professional champions, the Redskins, "to the sportsmanship of college presidents to protect us from the commercialism of their institutions." Irked when Columbia university signed his ace ball toter, Clifl Battles, for a coaching job, Marshall flushed the same hue as his tinted shirt when he took stock of what else is happening along this line.

"Look," he snorted, "what navy's done it's taken Keith Molesworth from the Chicago Bears. iTiink of it!" Last year, he pointed out with rising ire, New Hampshire snagged the fast-running, hard-blocking George Sauer from the Green Bay Packers. "Professional football," said the Redskins owner, "has a rule to pro-tect the colleges. We. can't sign a school player during the four years he's schooling.

They ought to draw up something like that to protect us." "And" he adaed, "if they don't do something to protect us poor professionals, I thing this would be a dandy subject for study by the Carnegie Foundation." Another thing that's got Marshall waving his arms is a rumor that's reached him from Annapolis that Navy sought to sign the Redskins' quarterback, Riley Smith, to a coaching contract. "Three years ago the colleges were looking down their noses at us." he boomed. "Now they've moved over on our bench and are making-advances at us." Having unburdened himself, Marshall screwed up his face, bit his pencil and began figuring on a signing problem on his own getting Slingin' Sammy Baugh's name to a 1938 contract. "I only wish I had the collegiate technique," he sighed. If any nation builds to a point of putting us in jeopardy we should build a fleet sufficient to overcome that inequality.

I Murray and Western Are Placed In Opposite Brack ets of Bowling Green Meet Bowling Green, March HIP) Western Kentucky's Teachers and Murray's Thoroughbreds were plac ed in opposite brackets Monday in drawings for the annual basketball tournament of the Southern Inter collegiate Athletic association, which begins Thursday.

And that means it'll be possible for them to meet, in a tournament final for the second time in as many week-ends if they defeat early-round opponents. Last Saturday Western won the championship of the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic conference for the seventh consecutive year with a 35 to 23 victory over Murray. Adding to the keenness of the competition will be the fact that Murray also was runner-up to Western for the S. I. A.

A. title last year. Teams in the top bracket are: Murray; Centenary, Shreveport, Kentucky Wesleyan, Winches wr; Wofford college, Spartanburg, S. and Presbyterian college, Clinton, S. C.

Lower-bracket teams are: Western; Stetson Deland. Louisiana Normal college, Natchitoches. Union university, Jackson, and Delta State Teachers college, Cleveland, Miss. The seeded teams are Western, Murray, Centenary and Stetson. I Stetson is in Western's bracket and Centenary in Murray's.

The schedule follows: Thursday FIRST ROUND Centenary vs. Wesleyan, m. Western vs. Louisiana 7:30 p. m.

A. F. C. for Mark of 4:06.4 Made in 1936. New York, March 1.

OT The man who today holds the most prized record in the world of track and 4 minutes, 6 and 4:10 seconds for the mile is perhaps the least known of the top-flight athletes of the universe. His name (apparently) is Sydney Woodersen, and he is a little, bespectacled bank "clerk" who runs on week ends and holidays for the Blackheath Harriers of London, England. The action of the International Amateur Athletic Federation congress in approving the mark he set last summer only strengthens this writer's two-year conviction that the little Briton is the greatest miler the world has seen. When Sydney feels like dusting off a track, you can have your Glenn Cunninghams and Jack Lovelocks. Having watched him run the Great Lovelock into the ground on three separate occasions in London, this observer, who believes what he sees, will take Woodersen.

With this record official, perhaps he now will get his full measure or recognition. Up to now, there has been something almost apologetic about his career, In England, at last account, the sports witers still were in some doubt about this first name. CARDS LOOK TO DEAN Nashville, Feb. 28. (ZD-Dizzy Dean's greatest mound performances are still ahead of him "if he is ready to do some earnest pitching," Sam Breadon, owner of the St.

Louis Cardinals, predicted today. Calling Dean potentially the greatest hurler of all time, Breadon said he thought Dizzy has finally taken stcck of himself and has decided to quit fooling around I hope he sticks to It." "But I don't think we can count on Paul (Dizzy's brother) any more," he said "I don't think he will ever make a successful comeback. He's 40 pounds overweight and probably won't be able to get into shape" Breadon added the Cards would be hard to head off In the National League race if Dizzy came through.
