A A THE WICHITA EAGLE, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1942 Thirteen Another Pro Grid Team Is Beaten; Whirlaway Wins Purse ARMY ALL STARS BEAT PRO GIANTS FOR 40,000 FANS Take Advantage of Chance to Score for Another Win for Service Team FINAL SCORE 16 TO 0 NEW YORK, Sept. 77 yards for a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball, the eastern army All-Stars potired overwhelming man-power from their huge squad to trample the professional Giants, 16 to today. The Giants never threatened seriously to score on Col. Bob Neyland's hand-picked huskies, their best shot being a futile try for a field goal from the 45-yard line late in the third period. The Soldiers, and passing with deadly running scored touchdowns in the first effect, adn fourth quarters and tacked on a field goal in the second.

The game, the first for the Soldiers, lured approximately 40,000 spectators to the Polo grounds with the receipts divided equally between the Herald-Tribune fresh air fund and Army emergency relief. Maj. Gen. A. D.

Surles, director of army emergency relief, in happy dressing room speech after the battie predicted to the players, standing rigildy at attention, that they would "go on defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers Wednesday at Baltimore and the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Boston. "Then," he added "you'll go on to win the war." He had reason to feel proud of the soldiers Colonel Neyland had whipped into a formidable gridiron machine in five weeks. They employed the complicated "Tennessee system" smoothly and looked, in fact, a far more seasoned unit than the Giants. Their defense was suholding the Giants to a net perb, gain of 57 yards by rushing. If there was an outstanding star for the Soldiers it- probably was Capt.

John Pingel, the former Michigan -State star. His bullet passes carried the straight down the field to their first touchdown, climaxed by a 12-yard peg over the goal line to private Jack Russell, formerly of Baylor university. In all, Pingel winged 12 passes and com8 of them for a total of 69 pleted yards. Lieut. Vic Spadaccini, former Minnesota great, scored army's other touchdown a few minutes before the game ended when he intercepted a "dsperation" pass thrown by Tuffy Leeman from behind his own goal line and raced it across The score, however, was far from unearned, as Army's second team had just previously driven from its own 40 down to the Giants' two-foot line before being halted by the battling redshirts.

Corp. Mike Basca, once of Villanova, place-kicked a field goal from the 22-yard line in the second perlod after army, through a fumble, had muffed a chance to score from a yard out. He also added the extra point after Spadaccini's touchdown. In all, Col. Neyland poured 42 players into the fray, compared to 28 used by the Giants.

There was little to choose between his starting lineup and those that followed. If anything, his "second" backfield that starred George Cafego, former Tennessee ace, and Jack Russell, Baylor's "one-man team" of last year, gave the Giants a tougher time of it than the regulars. Cafego produced the game's biggest thrill when he accepted a Giants' punt on his own 22 in the second quarter, and snaked his way back 72 yards before being downed by Leo Cantor. His spectacular run resulted, eventually, in Basca's field goal. Against the furious defense thrown up by army, the Giants looked more or less hamstrung.

The only time they had the ball past midfield in the first half was on the recovery of a fumble by Al Blozis, ex-Georgetown Giant. Not until the fag end of the third quarter did they carry the ball past the middle and then they were blocked on army' 40. It's St. Louis Blues as Dodgers Lose BROOKLYN, Sept. -Music at Ebbets Field is provided by an electric organ and the woman who plays it, Mrs.

Gladys Gooding, was quick to strike the proper cord after the Dodgers had dropped their disheartening 2 to 1 decision to the St. Louis Cardinals today. Before the players were off the feldi the organ mournfully pealed forth with the "Blues in the Night" and then followed with the "St. Louis Blues." El Dorado Aids in W. U.

KIMBROUGH FACES GREEN BAY SQUAD FOR RELIEF FUNDS High Scoring Game Looms as Famed Packers Take in Wade's Army Club PACKERS ARE WORRIED MILWAUKEE, Sept.

Green Bay will throw its aerial circus against Jarrin' John Kimbrough and his army all-star mates in a football game here Sunday that is expected to draw 30,000 fans who will add about $50,000 to the army emergency relief fund. A -scoring game is predicted, with the packer scoring combination of Cecil -Isbell and Don Hutson counted on connect with scoring passes and Kimbrough exSei pected to shine in a ground game that will help his team run up the count." Coach Wallace Wade's western squad has been improving with each start, winning from the Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions after bowing to Washington' Redskins in its opener. All are national league teams. Wade, whose team will be playing its third game in a week; ventured the opinion today that his squad was showing some semblance of team work. "We were worried at first," he said, "because we had boys who had played so many different systems of football.

This showed up in our first game with Washington, which we lost. We were better against the Cardinals and I really think we found ourselves against the Lions." Coach E. L. (Curly) Lambeau, of the Packers, whose team has lost one and won one exhibition game, was frankly worried over his team's defense. "We were ragged Washington when it beat Monagainst, day," he said, "but the boys have been rounding into shape nicely this week, and should operate more smoothly Sunday.

We have had to break in several new men as we lost 15 players to the armed The all-stars will round out their exhibition schedule with game at New York. They have raised about $100,000 for emergency relief and with the gate here and at New York should double that figure. Opponents of the all-stars receive only their expenses. East Squad Is Developing by Strenuous Work By "DAVEY" The East high school squad proved to Coach Mayo that they had learned something in the last two weeks work. Friday in their line scrimmage, they were putting, shoulders to the wheel like veterans.

though the sun was very hot and in their eyes. Quite a few of the new fellows showed great possibilities, and the old ones were still on their toes. One fellow who is worth mentioning among others, little "Pee Wee' Durant. Through much hard and strenuous practice he has been able to overcome his size and now plays guard. Some of the other favorites are Dala Cowan, tackle: Jim "Timber" Jernigan, Hobein and pa Louis Scott bath backs.

Worthy mention can be given good ones such as Dendell Pollock. Ray Jones, "Mick" Slattery, Bill "Goose" Geist. CONDOR BORN IN ZOO SAN DIEGO, Sept.

"dream race" Sept. turned into a nightmare today when Alsab refused to tangle with Whirlaway in the Narragansett Special--and he's probably lucky he didn't. For, little Mr.

Big Tail ran one of his greatest races to come from a couple of city blocks back, win the "big heat" going away, and get even for all the things they said about him when he lost this same rich stake a year ago. With the $24,300 he picked up, he skyrocketed his gaudy all-time record bankroll to $491,136, just a pitch and a putt away from his -million dollar goal. And the way Whirly did it, coming from as far back as he ever came before-in fact, just about as far back as he possibly could and still remain the same race track with the others--it is doubtful if even Alsab could have matched the lightning he turned loose on the stretch. He was some 16 lengths out of it at one point, and it looked as if Jockey Georgie Woolf couldn't get him out of a mild lope. Suddenly he turned it looseand it was just a romp, Whirly had a two-length edge at the finish over young Tom Heard's Boysy and Amerson Woodward's Valdina Orphan, which formed the Valdina farms entry with rounders, was third.

A lot was taken of the race when Owner Al Sabath, the outs Chicago lawyer who owns Alsab, withdrew his three year old hours before the race with the explanation to Narragansett park officials that the colt's arrival Thursday was too late to permit him to carry out the scheduled training plans that had been mapped out for the horse. Yet, only late yesterday Trainer Sarge Swenke had told turf writers that 'Sab' shipped well and 1s in the best condition of his life." As a result of the disappointment to an estimated 30,000 fans who turned out for the show and to back 'Gansett's army-navy relief program, track president James E. Dooley announced this racing plant would put up a $25,000 purse for a match race between Alsab and Warren Wright's Whizzer here next Saturday. Sabath said he was "agreeable" and Whirly's trainer Ben Jones liked the idea but pointed out he would have to get an "okay" from Owner Warren Wright. BIG SIX GOSSIP LAWRENCE, Sept.

Shifty So Southwestern Back Is New Star with Commandos Henry Wheeler Will Aid Aero Parts Offensive; Has Fine Record as College Player Signing of Henry (Schnozz) Wheeler, fleet-footed halfback with the educated toe, by the Wichita Aero Commandos was announced last night by coach Frank (Pete) Bausch. Wheeler who finished his intercollegiate career at Southwestern last year, has been working out nightly with the Commandos, but was signed to a contract only yesterday. In addition to being a shifty runner, he is an artist in booting field goals. It was Wheeler's last second, 36 yard place kick against Wichita University last year which enabled the Builders to defeat the Shockers 16 to 13. Earlier in the game his running was brilliant, too.

In practice sessions he has been showing fine.ly form in palace, kicking and both head coach and backfield coach Ronzani are exceptionally well pleased with his work.

WICHITA BOWLING LEAGUE STANDING OF THE CLUBS Won Lost Pet. BERKELEY, Sept.

-The football practice season isn't old enough yet to have made the players' pants form-fitting, but the word is out already the team that wins the coast conference championship will to beat the University of California for it. Whether or not Coach L. B. Allison likes it (he doesn't), the Bears are the established favorites before the first. block has been applied or the first cheer sounded.

Most of the rival coaches would pick California during such times, anyhow, if for no other reason than it has the largest student registration from which to draw its gridiron talent. California's 1942 check- discloses not only numerical superiority (a turnout of 80 men) but an impressive contingent of topside players. Of more than twentyseasoned candidates returning, nine won varsity letters last year and half a dozen others held down places on the squad. The others bumped themselves into experience to on the Ramblers, reserve unit maintained to fill gaps in the first string outfit. An undefeated freshman team of last season, one of the finest in years, supplied material beyond the wildest dreams of some coaches.

They may or may not stand up when the going gets toughest in a month or SO but few of them were fiery enough "to knock seasoned veterans from positions in practice last spring. The standouts in the bumper crop of backfield sophomores are and Art John Honegger, Dodds, 175-pound ace, right guard. Coach Allison fitted them into the varsity machine in spring tice. juggling veterans to make room for them. One of the windfalls of the year saw the return to uniform of Jim Jurkovich, muchly publicized and often injured halfback who was thought lost to the team.

Jurkovich, fast. aggressive and keenly intelligent, cracked up the last two seasons, last year in the second game. He's been pronounced physically fit and will start at the left halfback spot. He rounds out a backfield which includes Honegger, Joe Merlo and John Graves. the latter two experienced.

Of all those counted upon for this season. Leidholt, the Bears lost one good player, Jack regular left end. An injury suffered in Rugby caused him to forego the fall sport. The California line, probably not stout another as last year's, will do. however, until comes along.

It will be manned by John Ferguson and Harry Agler, ends; Charles Des Coudres and Brunel Christensen. tackles: John Dodds and Jack Herrero, guards and Tom Mason, center. Ferguson isn't the best end ton the coast this season he will give the best one real run for the honors, in the opinion of his coach. California will field a fairly light as was the case last year, but the team edition will be considerably faster. with Union Stockyards 5 .833 Gas Service Co.

More heavily weighted with responsibility than either of the grapplers who will crawl through the ropes tonight with the N. heavyweight belt riding to the tor, 'Honest John' Peterson will attempt the return of beltwearer, John Grandovitch and Hans Schnabel at the Forum tomorrow night. Peterson, a grapler of some repute in this area in seasons gone by, is' threatened with more physical damage than either of the contestants. if the bout this time doesn't please fans. Last Monday night when Grandovich and Schnabel tangled, they stormed the ringside claiming that Referee had aided Grandovich in winning the final fall.

Coming out of the Schnabel camp yesterday, came the charge anew that the referee had been all that permitted the big Russian to retain his belt. The California giant, who tips the beam at 245 pounds, not only once more repeated his promise that he will win Monday but also indicated that the Texas rules a agreement for the bout may result physical damage for his heated rival. Grandovich remained mum on his side of the dispute but is reported to have been working harder this week in training than for their previous bout. His increase in what already was a heavy training grind for last week's bout indicates that he carries great respect for Schnabel. Edward Virag, former beltwearer Topping as preliminary card, fast, from Wichita, will take on the tough Hans Schultz of Milwaukee.

Schultz, a newcomer in this part of the country, feels that a victory over Virag should net him a match with the winner of the GrandovichSchnabel affair and promises to go all-out in a bid for victory.

Over-eating, Card Playing Wrecks Traveling Teams NORMAN, Sept. -The Oklahoma Sooners are going to be a traveling, football team this fall, and a traveling team usually gets beat.

How come football coaches dread road games? can't a team play as well on foreign turf as it does on its home Bermuda? Dewey "Snorter" Luster, Oklahoma's wisened little head coach whose Sooner team jumps Oklahoma A. and Tulsa, Texas and Kansas on the road before ever showing at Norman, push back the foolscap of plays he is always scribbling and soberly considered the question. "When you play at home, it's all set up for you," Luster said, "Your players sleep in their own beds and eat the cooking they've been used to. They stay away from the noise. They know every gopher hole in their home field.

They know the light and the They know that even will be in their favor. It's just like having a fight. Everybody does better in his own back yard. "But if you are the road team, all this against you. The more experienced your boys, the better you will get by, but traveling is always a Backfield Coach Dale Arbuckle thought the mental angle was important, too.

LOUIS, CONN MEET AND SEE GRID TILT Two Opponents for Coming Fight Are Affable; Joe to Take Off Weight By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Sept.

Two soldiers who on October will try to slug each other into unconsciousness met today for the first time since they were matched to fight for the heavyweight championship for the benefit of the army emergency relief fund, and they behaved like long-parted buddies. Sergeant Joe Louis, wearing cor-: poral's stripes as "Ah didn't have time to sew on the new ones," arrived this morning from Fort Riley, ran the gauntlet of gaping caps in the dim caverns of the Grand Central station train shed, left a group of young.

They greeted each other affably, then for a few minutes stood selfconsciously, Louis spreading out a newspaper and avidly perusing first the sports page, then the comics.

The embarrassment quickly wore off, however, and before long the two were chatting animatedly, pairing off together for the walk to a car which took them, seated side by side, to the war department's office of public information. There they sat in on a meeting attended by army officials, Jacobs and the sports writers, committee, at which the announcement of the Yankee' Stadium site was confirmed and the time of the bout, approximately 4 p. m.

venture that he was going to try; for a knockout, and that "unless Billy keeps out of the way it will come early." Louis won the first fight by a knockout in the 13th round. He was accompanied by his comanager, Julian Black, who said the champion planned to enter the ring at between 206 and 208 pounds, as he was too fine the last time he met Conn. Louis will take it easy the first week, becoming adjusted to a changed eating schedule and shaking out the kinks acquired in army life and the almost daily horseback routine.

SOONERS BACKING HIGH SCHOOLS FOR 'VARSITY' SQUADS Oklahoma Board of Control Admits Schedule Should Be Reduced in War OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept.

(UP)-The board of control of the Oklahoma Athletic association is urging. full speed ahead--but on a course more limited than past years for high school interscholastic sports. The board has adopted a twopoint program on the conduct of interschool sports. It emphasizes that interscholastic athletics should be continued because "athletic competition develops strong, agile, alert and courageous individuals and is considered by military authorities as splendid premilitary training." But, to meet timely problems that have arisen directly as a result of the war, the board of control suggests that 1942 schedules perhaps should be revised. They "should eliminate long trips and conform with any of the restrictions of the federal government.

Schedules of excessive length can not be justified. A schedule of one-half the normal length is better than no schedule." By way of financial advice, the board wrote into its platform: "With more emphasis on fewer games, financial support should be adequate to continue your program." In the second place, the athletic association has approved plans for a new physical fitness program, offered by high schools as a supplement to their regular interschool sports program. The physical fitness plan, outlined in detail in a syllabus prepared by leading state coaches and collegiate physical education instructors, "is not to supplant the interscholastic program." Its main function will be to reach all students and give them "a systematic program that will develop their health, strength, agility, alertness and The physical fitness program will cover not only high school students but also those of the grades. The State Health, Physical Education and Recreation association will sponsor the plan for grade schools. The program, however, is not purely a local one.

It is nationwide in scope, under direction of the U. S. Office of Defense, Health and Welfare Service in cooperation with the U. S. Office of Education.
