OCTOBER 18, 1938. PART II. TUESDAY MORNING. MIKE SIGNS ANOTHER 'WHITE HOPE' Bill Paulman May Miss Trojan Game STANFORD UNIVERSITY, THE SPORTS PARADE Pigskin Peters Reports on Showing Made by Doyle Nave in Troy's Victory Over Washington State BY BRAVEN DYER Cubs Out to Stop Robinson L.A.C.C. Gridders Work cn Defense for Pasadena Game Nielsen Set for Loyola Lion Scout Reports' Arizona Ace in Shape to Play Friday Just as I was about to write something on the subject myself, Pigskin Peters fired in his weekly football report as follows: Dear Coach Dyer: At 4:23 o'clock on the afternoon of October 15, in the year of our Lord, 1938, and at the Los Angeles Coliseum I fell out of my seat and Dr.

Gloom had to pick me up, We are used to taking turns doing this, but seldom at football games. "What are you doing, Professor Pe-' ters, falling on your face in this manner?" asked the noted educator from Temperature Normal. "Don't you know that he who lies down with dogs will get up with fleas?" Dr. Gloom is always pulling these nifties on me and before I can think of what it is that knocked me off my bench he pipes up again. USLA Let me remind vou.

Pigskin, ill i ix rd1- -I he who answers suddenly knows little." "Well, let me tell vou something. Doc. the answer I'm going Ways and means of stopping Jackie Robinson, the Pasa dena Junior College phenomenon, will be the main order of business today for Glenn Acker-man's Los Angeles City College gridders, as the Cubs prepare for the all-important Bulldog fray Friday night in the Rose Bowl. Realizing that putting the clamps on the versatile Robinson may mean the intention of their Western Division crown, the Crimson athletes are expected to have oodles of defensive work this week, with emphasis on tackling. ALERT ON PASSES Ackerman isn't particularly worried over the dusky ace's passing, since the Cubs proved their alertness last Friday w-hen they intercepted six San Francisco aerials while winning, 13-6.

Fullback Theorne Bush was the chief ball hawk, snagging four of the stray ovals, with center Alun Davies, who backs up the line, gathering in the other two. Meanwhile, word has sneaked out that the Crown City line isn't exactly what Mentor Tom Mallory would like and the Cubs may continue the baffling offense that had 'Frisco players completely befuddled. UNBEATEN TEAMS Both teams are undefeated in league competition, the Bulldogs having two victories and the Cubs one. The Crown City eleven has played five games, however, and has yet to taste defeat, while the Crimson lost its first two games before finding the range to take Long Beach, 13-0, and the Rams. Schumacher Submits to Operation MEMPHIS (Tenn.) Oct.

17. (JP) Surgeons removed "a loose body" from the right arm of Hal Schumacher, New York Giant hurlcr, at a hospital here Friday, hospital attaches disclosed today. The operation was similar to that performed several weeks ago on Carl Hubbell, ace of the Giants' mound staff. Schumacher was reported "feeling fine." He will remain here several weeks for Chuck Crowell (center) is shown signing a contract whereby Promoter Mike Jacobs (left) will 'have exclusive services on him for seven years. Crowell's manager, Baron Stumme (right) and Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis look on.

Tim photo MARSHALL HIGH POWERFUL TEAM BUT LACKS PEP BLUME to give you isn't any sudden shot in the dark. I've been thinking about it for two years." "Proceed, my good man," said Dr. Gloom, "you may be making ropes of sand or building a bridge to China for all I know." So I finally let the old boy in on the secret, for at the above specified hour Mr. Howard Jones of the Essee varsity sends into the football game your boy, Doyle Nave. I looked up to The Times press coop at the top of the Coliseum, but I couldn't see you, Later they told me you had swooned.

I don't blame you. It's a wonder Nave didn't swoon, too. Of course, Dr. Gloom, being a recent arrival in these parts, did not know as much about Nave as I do. But the old coot is pretty smart and I guess he has been reading between the lines because as I talked he soon caught on that you thought highly of Nave's ability to put points on the scoreboard.

Well, Mr. Dyer, I don't want you to be throwing away all your hats because they no longer fit that fat head of yours, but in the interest of truth and honesty I must say that Doyle Nave was all that you promised. And I can now understand why Howard Jones hasn't used this boy before Saturday. It's as plain as the power play you claim to have thrown overboard in Kansas, but which I saw on exhibition out there again last Saturday. Mr.

Jones has not wished to take unfair advantage of rival teams. It would be a crime against humanity to play Nave more than ten minutes every other season. It would kill public interest in football. Wants to Keep 'Em Coming People go to football games because they expect to be thrilled by a furious fight between 22 young men, each striving for victory. Teoplc seldom know in advance which team is going to win.

If Jones played Nave against every team on Troy's schedule the gate receipts would take such a flop that the Headman would lose his job before the season ended. So it's Nave or Jones and naturally Jones wins, because he's the boss. As Dr. Gloom said, "Why swim the river when there's a bridge near by." And if any of those office hecklers that Bill Henry used to write about starts to kid you about Nave just remind them of a few facts. Before last Saturday the Trojans had played three football games lasting through 12 quarters.

Their total of touch-downs was four. Nave played less than 15 minutes Saturday, yet while he was on the field the Trojans scored two touchdowns and broke a fi-to-6 tie which threaatened to keep the boys in the trenches until Christmas. Sure, I know he didn't score with that passing arm that you write about, but this wasn't his fault. After all, Coach, he can't both throw 'em and catch 'em, can he? I have a secret operative on the squad and he told me Saturday night what the boys were saying in the huddle after Nave joined them. Red Morgan was first to speak up.

"Hey, what's this guy doing sticking his head in the huddle?" asked the Holtville Terror. "Beat it, Buddy, we don't allow strangers to sit in on our bull sessions." "I ain't no stranger," was the reply. "I'm Doyle Nave. You remember me, don't you, boys? I was in a game last year for a few seconds with some of you chaps. Come on gang, I've been storing up energy for so long I'll burst right out of these silk pants if we don't start going places." "Can that stuff, buddy," was Morgan's reply.

"You're still a stranger to me. But you look like you might be a right guy so I'll help you out. Tell you what I'll do. I'll score the first touchdown just to show you how it's done, but after that you're on your own." Questions Not Easily Answered "Well, my friend, you were there yourself to see what happened so I don't have to tell you that Morgan scored the first touchdown and Nave stood by like a good boy and then scored one himself when the proper time came. About this time Jones began feeling sorry for Babe Hollingbery so he took Nave out.

After all, there's no sense humiliating a member of your own profession. I didn't like that very well, though, where Mr. Jones said Nave Oct. 17. With Bill Paulman list ed as a very doubtful starter against Southern California, Tiny Thornhill experimented with an entirely new backfield combination here tonight.

Dr. E. F. Roth, team physician, has Paulman tucked away in a Palo Alto hospital bed suffering from a severe Charley horse sustained in the Oregon game Saturday. Dr.

Roth indicated that he thought" Paulman's chances of facing the Trojans were somewhat remote. In the absence of the Oxnard blond, Gene Coldiron, blocking demon, was moved on to the first eleven at quarterback, with Norman Standlee at full, Fred Lede-boer at left half and Hugh Gal-larneau at right half. Standlee made his first appearance on the Stanford practice held in uni form since the Santa Clara game. The sophomore injured an ankle in the second week of practice and was forced to retire from the Bronco fracas after less than five minutes of play. He had been on crutches since Oct.

1 until last Saturday night. Norm ran well in practice tonieht and indicated that he may be in first-class shape by kickoff time Saturday afternoon. SWITCH PLAYER Ledeboer, who had started the last two games at full, is not deserting this position but will be equipped to play either left half or fullback in the future. "Piston Legs" can carry the mail at either spot and will continue to handle the signal-calling assignment. Coldiron sparked the Indians in the closing minutes of their triumph over Oregon and is almost certain to be in the opening line up against Southern California.

Gallarneu performed most creditably last week and retains first call on the right-half spot. PAULMAN BEST PUNTER Paulman's absence will not do the Redskins any good for his kicking has been nothing short of marvelous in the first three contests. Just who might do the booting in the new combina tion is problematical for no one of the four can be called con sistent. Tiny's plans at present call for little organized scrimmage this week.

A big reason is they've learned by experience that their cars stop in fewest feet on wet roads when the tires are Goodyear with Center Traction. Before you buy, take a tip and see why- niMiii rim i JfViiaftiT NOW! BY CHARLES CURTIS Walt (Hoss) Nielsen, 208-pound University of Arizona fullback, is ready to start and will play against Loyola Friday night at Gilmore. The Redondo giant, who averaged 4.87 yards per crack last year and booted the ball for a mark upwards of 40 yards, was held out of the Santa Clara game Saturday night although he was on the field, in uniform, and worked out before the game with the squad. SCOUT REPORTS That's the report Lefty Powers, Lion scout, brought out of Arizona after watching the Wildcats drop a decision to the unbeaten Broncs. "And he looked just as nimble as ever," reported Lefty.

Coach Tom Lieb, after checking Powers' scouting reports, ppent a good part of yesterday's workout planning a defense for the Arizona attack, which utilizes part of the Notre Dame system. The Lions, after a week-end of rest, showed plenty of zip during the workout with only Jim Colee missing. Big Bob Link, tackle, had to ease up for awhile when he was kicked in the knee cap, but it wasn enough to keep him idle very long. Powers organized a frosh eleven running Arizona plays against the varsity. Black-haired Gene Grady, the ex-Fairfax Flyer, took the part of Bronko Smilanich, who has a versatile part in the Wildcat attack, calling plays, passing, and sharing the running duties with Nielsen.

WILDCATS TOUGH "Arizona's line is plenty tough with 200-pound Tom Greenfield 8t center a very hard guy to handle on defense. Santa Clara had 1o use passes to get in position for every touchdown. And Lan-dreth (Coach Orian Landreth, formerly of Long Beach) was using little 160 and 170 pounders in Nielsen's spot so his running attack wasn't as strong as it will be this week," reported Lefty. Arizona has a number of Southland boys, besides Nielsen, on the squad which hasn't changed much since a year ago when Loyola dropped a 13-6 decision. Powers said the Wildcats were more or less ignoring Santa Clara last week, figuring the Broncs too tough, anyway, and have been pointing for Loyola with Landreth anxious to make a good Impression on his first appear ance here since leaving Long Beach.

Vandal Horde Heads South Continued from Xlnth Tage trihuted the starting tackles, Dick Trzuskowski and Ray Kacz-rnarek (oh, boy, are the printers going to have fun this week.) Kaczmarek (pronounced Kacz-marek) hits the 200-pound mark, which makes him look like a midget alongside of his 215-pound fellow tackle whose surname Rounds like the capital of Siberia. Despite the imposing length and intricacy of those Idaho tackles' monickers, U.C.L.A. figures to get over the hump again if they don't change their pace. They won their first start against Iowa, then blew one to Oregon. Back they bounced to bop the Huskies and then went down to the department again last Saturday at Berkeley.

WORRIES REDUCED Practically intact, the Bruins resumed their week-day chores down in Westwood Gulch yesterday afternoon by drilling on Idaho stuff. Considering the class of opposition they met at Berkeley, Spaulding was hesitant to criticise his And, now that the Bruins don't have to worry about California any more, their biggest mental obstacle has been overcome.

The glorified youngsters box the 10-round main event at the Hollywood Legion Stadium Friday night. It is a substitute match for the postponed Bob Nestell Chuck Crowell heavyweight bout.

Both Lemos and Ortiz have fought one main event Each fought Pablo Dana GET CENTER TRACTION Jacobs Signs Sloan and Chuck Crowell Continued from Ninth Page geles where they were weaned, pugilistically speaking.

Crowell is tentatively sched uled to make his New York debut late in November. Sloan has had but six professional fights, winning four by knockouts. Dr. Harry W. Martin of the State Athletic Commission con ferred with Jacobs yesterday and pledged Los Angeles' support to a proposed Ceferino Garcia- Al Hostak overweight battle here.

This fight, however, will not be signed unless Garcia is successful in stripping Armstrong of his welterweight title in New York, Nov. 2. Jacobs and his attorney, Sol Strauss, leave tonight on The Chief. Crowell, Von Stumme, Bray Suspended Chuck Crowell and his mana ger, Baron von btumme, nave been indefinitely suspended by the State Athletic Commission pending an investigation of charges made by Big Boy Bray that he was offered $1000 to 'take a dive," it was learned yes terday. Robert Cowan and Gene Sorrell, co-managers of Bray, also were suspended.

Bray also has been set down for 60 days, having been placed on the "ill and unavailable" list. The Negro heavyweight, who signed an affidavit baring his sensational charges, claims an injured elbow.

Today Frank was limping around, the victim of a "touch" football game. He displaced a cartilage in his left knee while playing with neighborhood friends yesterday and had to go to a hospital for treatment BY CARL Wagging his head wearily and looking as ragged as a man who had lost his last friend was Coach George Smith of Marshall High following a recent practice scrimmage session in which his herd of gridders had about as much pep as Stepin Fetchit in Sleepy Hollow. "My team could shape up as one of the best in the city if the boys would only show a little fire," the Barrister boss lamented. "They act as if they don't like to get mussed up." Last year the Barristers had so much fire it carried them straight to the Northern League championship and into the finals of the major city championship play-off, where they were beaten by Manual Arts. GOOD LINE When you dope it out on paper, Marshall should have one of the best lines in the city when you consider that Vladimir Ka-rich, 175-pound all-city guard, and Al Challoner.

second-string all-city end, are back for more action, but it hasn't looked that way so far this season. In two practice encounters Marshall defeated a weak North Hollywood team, 19-2, and after Los Angeles had thumped Washington, 27-6, and Roosevelt, another Northern League team, had slaughtered the same eleven, 37-2, the best the Barristers could beat the Generals by last Friday was 7-6 and they had to uncork a desperate last-quarter rally to do if too. KICKING DUTIES In both games the line play was very ordinary. Bill Wilson, a new man, Sagehens Suffer Football Injuries POMONA, Oct. 17.

Pomona College's football victory over San Diego State was won at the price of bruises and sore muscles. Sunday's roll call found seven Sagehens on the injury list. Most serious injury was to Benny Hisanaga, probably the best blocking quarter in the conference, who had the small bone in his right leg split. Benny will probably be in shape for the championship contest with Whit-tier in two weeks. TIME OUT! to Technically, I 4V' .1.

ft INI H- ffti, flanks Challoner at end while Don Avery, 215-pound tackle, has taken over kicking duties from Challoner, who did the punting last year. Orville Me-denhall, 165-pounder, teams with Avery at tackle. Don Rigg, Ranch's guard mate, knocks off just 155 pounds but makes up for his lack of heft with fight. Jim Conrad, star center, was declared ineligible because he had boxed in Al Martell's Monday-night amateur shows at the Olympic Auditorium, so Charles Sweetwood and Dick Reddish, both made-over tackles, are alternating as ball-snapper-back ers. GREEX BACKFIELD With the lone exception of i Nick Nannes, only veteran bali packer, the Marshall backfield is inexperienced, or green, as you like it.

Nannes, who hits the Fairbanks at 170, called the signals on last year's championship aggregation and will do it again this year. While not the fastest gridder in town, Nannes has a deceptive manner of running. "He has a smart head on his strong shoulders," Smith revealed. Teaming with Nannes are Bob Campreghor, a blocker at right half; Byron (By) Walker, shifty 145-pound quarterback who runs back the punts, and Bill Freese, lanky fullback subbing for Bob Keefer, who suffered a hip injury in the North Hollywood tilt. "If we can find a couple of leaders to give the team a little spark," Smith said, "we'll be a tough outfit instead of just the ordinary run-of-the-mill team that we are." S.M.U.

Band on Spot as Money Needed DALLAS (Tex.) Oct. 17. (JP Like the football team it will accompany to Pittsburgh, for a game with mighty Pitt next Saturday, Southern Methodist University's band is on the spot. Band Director Frank Malone discovered today he needs $4,200 quickly to pay for a new set of uniforms he ordered for his musicians, delivered in Pittsburgh Saturday c.o.d. When he placed the order two weeks ago, Malone thought the money was available.

By Chet Smith think I got him! might have scored a couple more touchdowns if hed mixed running plays with his passes. Jeepers, what does Howard expect from a young man who gets into the game only biannually and then always with the score tied or his team one touchdown behind? Must he be an Einstein in addition to a Sammy Baugh? Is there some unwritten code of the gridiron which says a Trojan quarterback MUST always call signals? What would they do if they enrolled a quarterback mute who could run faster than Paddock and hit harder than Nagurski? As I was penning these questions to you Dr. Gloom looked over my shoulder and said: "A fool can ask questions that wise men cannot answer." Well, Coach, I guess maybe I'd better close and take Dr. Gloom out to Westwood. He thinks he might have a tonic for the boys what with those rugged Vandals from Idaho bearing down on them this week-end.

The.Doc agrees with your Ed (Ask Me Another) Durling that what U.C.L.A. needs most is a new game. He suggests Sawtelle Tech. Hoping this meets with your approval and that your Trojans can get their hats on for that trip to Stanford I am your gridiron knave, PIGSKIN PETERS. jT fljy I 5.QQ.iy yap yQH I 5.25-17 1 fi05 I ygfl I 1 I I JZ518 835 fJell I i i.
