Seventeen OUR BOOTS WINS FUTURITY; CHALLEDON SCORES INDIANS TUMBLE TO NAVY, 19 T0 01 Stubbornly- Held Lead Overcome by Middies ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 28 (AP). -William and Mary's Indians, waging a desperate defensive battle, threatened for three quarters today to sabotage the Navy's 1940 grid launching, but unprepared for the lightning-like attack that the were, Midshipmen cut loose in the closing period to turn apparent defeat into a 19 to 7 victory, Two Backs Shine The stellar play of two great backs, Korczowski and Waldo Matthews, combined in a thrill-packed second period to give the Indians a slender 7-6 lead that they held onto savagely through the third quarter. But, they hadn't counted on the Middies' torpedo boat-sized gunners, led by Howie Clark, a game little 148-pound back from San Pedro, Calif.

Clark trained his sights on a fleetend named Willis Maxson, and one aerial torpedo after another hit the bulls-eye to pave the way for two touchdowns so fast the crowd of 18.000 sat electrified. It was a perfect day for football, but neither team warmed to its task in a drab first period punctuated only by two sensational dashes by Bill Busik, heralded sophomore star of the Middies. Wes neebert, a hero of 1939 battles, returned punt 23 yards to the Indian 36, sparking a drive that ended when he swept left end for a touchdown from the nine. The placement after was blocked. Score Suddenly The Indians scored with shocking suddenness.

Korczowski intercepted a Navy pass on the Middies' 43. Then he dropped back to midfield to throw one himself. Apparently smothered by tacklers, free, swung to the left sidelines and cut back to dash 43 yards for a touchdown. Matthews split the uprights from placement and William and Mary led 7 to 6., Navy almost scored after an 80 yard drive opening the third period. Held at the Indian nine, Vitucci, stocky guard, tried a field goal, but the ball hit an upright.

It stood that to the fourth, when the Clark-Maxson aerials sent the Navy 55 yards to a touchdown, Cameron carrying it over. In the last part of the fourth, Clark started throwing them again and soon Boothe lugged it over from line around left end. Vitucci's placement made it 19 to 7. William and Mary failed to ring up a single first down while Navy was garnering 21.

C. The whole story of the victory came in the second nine holes of the morning round. Going into the back nine two up, Miss Jameson won seven of the last eight holes to be nine up at lunch.

Though Miss Cothran challenged later, picking up three holes, the champ merely had to breeze in to win. In retaining a title gained in the finals last year over Dorothy Kirby, Miss Jameson was six over a lengthy Pebble Beach par, and Miss ran was 16 over. It was Miss Cothran's first trip to the finals in many years of campaigning. Miss Jameson was only two up after the first nine holes, where she scored a two over par 40 to Miss she won seven of the holes, Cothran's 42. But on the back, nine and might have made it eight had she not conceded a five-foot putt for a half on the 18th.

For the morning, Miss Jameson scored 78, two over women's par, and Miss Cothran was just ten strokes worse, with 88. Meadowview Defeats Galax Eleven, 6-2 GALAX, Sept. 28 Meadowview high school football team outplayed the local high school under the lights in Felts Park here Friday night to defeat Coach Sessoms' gridders by the score of 6-2. With the Wohlford brothers teaming up for a hard-running backfield combination, the Meadowview team threatened several times, but failed to reach pay dirt until late in the fourth quarter. The touchdown came after a Galax back fumbled a Meadowview punt on the local team's 30-yard line.

Successive line bucks, interspersed with several end runs, placed ball one the Galax 3-yard line, from where Randolph Wohlford went over for the score. The try for extra point failed. The local team's safety came late in the second quarter, when after a Galax fumble on the Meadowview 9-yard line, a bad pass from center was downed by a Meadowview back behind the goal line. The local team will play Martinsville high school in Martinsville Friday night, October 4. A pumpkin grown by H.

GOPHERS DEFEAT HUSKIES, 19 T014 Speed and Luck Prove Minnesota's Two Charms MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 28 alertness and luck gave Minnesota a 19 to 14 victory over Washington's Huskies before 46,000 persons in the season's opener today. Halfback George Franck supplied the speed with a 98-yard touchdown gallop that gave the Golden Gophers 8 first half lead today never relinquished. Minnesota ball hawks, who speared a Washington fumble on the first play of the game and converted it into a quick touchdown, comprised the alert crew.

They later er grabbed a Huskie fumble on Minnesota's five to halt what seemed to be a certain touchdown drive. The luck came in several plays involving juggled passes, of which Minnesota got on then Huskies' two-yard line just ahead of a touchdown. Passing Threat Washington's Dean MAdams was a constant passing threat and his aim was so unerring that he almost pitched the Huskies back into the game as late as the fourth quarter, when one of his tosses got a first down on the Minnesota five. He previously had shot the pigskin into Bill Marx's hands for Washington's second touchdown. Minnesota's first touchdown came when co-Captain Bilo Johnson recovered Steele's fumble on the first play from scrimmage.

Starting from the Huskies' 21, Franck passed to the five and two plays later whirled around end to score. The Huskies came raging back from their 20. Three first downs took them to Minnesota's 31 from where McAdams passed to Steele for a first down on the Gopher two. Stackpool plunged over. Minnesota got Paffrath loose for 40 yards to Washington's nine.

But mixed signals cost 12 yards and Mernik kicked a field goal, making it 10 to 7. That made it Washington's turn and they didn't a miss. Harrison, fullback, got 30 yards in two dashes to Washington's 47. Sharpshooting McAdams passed to Minnesota's 13 whipped one the goal line to Marx. The kickoff set up Franck's dazzling dash and the half ended 17 to 14 for Minnesota.

A Minnesota safety was the only score in the last half. Ohio State Blasts Pittsburgh, 30-7 sions. Blocks Punt Ohio COLUMBUS, Sept. 28 (AP)State's western conference champion gridders, held to a 3-0 half time edge by a stubborn Panther team, loosed their vaunted power with a three-touchdown third period splurge today to defeat the University of Pittsburgh, 30 to 7, before a crowd of 52,877. It was the first opening day defeat the Pennsylvanians had suffered since 1902, and the win extended an inaugural streak launched by the Bucks in 1895.

Don Scott, Ohio's highly-adverquarterback, remained in the background except for a few flashes. while tackle Charley Maag Capt. James Langhurst, fullback, stole the show for Ohio. George Kracum, line-crushing fullback from Hazleton, sparked Pittsburgh with virtually a one-man offensive. Maag, -foot three-inch blond giant from Sandusky, launched the scoring with a field goal from the 15-yard line in cashing in the only scoring second period.

either team had in the first two ses- The third period was only a minute when Mang broke through to block halfback Edgar (Special Delivery) Jones' punt on Pitt's 16. big tackle tip-toed his way to The the four before going out of bounds. Then Langhurst lunged for the touchdown on the first play and Scott kicked the extra point. Kracum's big gesture came after Maag's kickoff. Starting on his own 35, the big fullback lugged the leather eight of 11 times for 4 first downs and a 64 yard gain, putting the ball on the one.

From there hallback Robert Thurbon went over and quarterback Mike Sekela booted a kick from placement for Pitt's 7 points. Ohio roared right back with three plays for its second touchdownand one of them was a five-yard 1055-aS they drove 85-yards to score. Scott hauled the ball from Che 15 to the 30 on the kickoff and tossed a lateral to Dick Fisher for 30 more. Langhurst lost five, but Scott fired a long acrial which Langhurst gathered in close to the goal line to score standing up on the 45-yard maneuver. Scott placekicked the extra point to put the Bucks out front 17 to 7.

Two minutes later Charley Anderson, Ohio's huge negro end, snatched an enemy pass in mid-field and carried it back to the 35. Fisher, subbing for the injured Jimmy Strausbaugh, hurtled to the 18 in a single jaunt. Then Scott passed to Anderson for the third score of the period and the biggest session Ohio has had against a major foe in years. Gridders Cut Grass On Cemetery Plots ST.

Charlie O'Rourke, a shining Boston star along with Mickey Connally, opened the touchdown parade within five minutes of the opening kickoff when he deposited a punt neatly on Tulane's 3, and Tulane's Fred Gloden was able to get it back only to midfield. O'Rourke, Kissel and Maznicki SEVERAL POWER TEAMS BEATEN (Continued from page 13) It was Wake Forest's first triumph over the Tar Heels since 1927.

SUICIDE MAYES.

Hell Long Way, But It'll Be Longer Today Dug out of the files is this picture of "Suicide" Bob Hayes, the dare devil, jumping over 10 automobiles in one of his Hell Drivers shows in Roanoke two years ago, In his show at Maher field this afternoon Hayes will increase the jump to 16 cars and add a flaming timber barrier, just to make it more dangerous. (Times HAYES WILL SHOW AT MAHER FIELD Leap Over Cars Into Flaming Wall Is Climax Out on the hard-packed raceway of Maher field this afternoon, "Suicide" Bob Hayes, the Hell Driver, will attempt the most daring stunt in his career which five years ago lured him from the quiet routine of a southern Georgia tobacco farm. To Attempt Long Jump Staff Photo-Carico). Under his calculating eye, attendants will line up 16 stock automobiles -to-radiator, place a ramp end, and a huge timradiator ber barrier at the other. Bob will then try to jump the 16 cars and plunge through flaming wall before crashing to ground.

thee This sensational act will climax a ing two at 3 Hell o'clock Drivers which show will Hayes and his crew putting the stock automobiles through the paces, including many new stunts. Only a crazy man, it is agreed, would try such a stunt but Hayes is putting it on for two reasons. One, to prove to his friends in Roanoke that he is a greater driver than Lucky Teter who played here this summer, and also because Roanoke is his lucky spot. When Hayes, just beginning to get the feel of himself, came to Roanoke two years ago he was jumping over a flat bodied truck as the big climaxing act. He kept increasing the jump by two until last year when he jumped over 18 automobiles.

Suicide claims that placing the burning timber barrier, which will be high in the air, will add tremendously to danger of the stunt because the car will have lost its momentum before it crashes into the flaming wall. Then there that sickening drop to the ground. In the crowd, however, will be one woman to whom the stunt and Bob means more than just an afternoon's entertainment. 'She is Bob's pretty wife. But, strange as it may seem, particularly to women, this quiet Greensboro, N.

girl does not fuss about Hayes' dangerous work. She talks wanting to do the routine fire wall crash in the show next year. But Hayes just smiles when she mentions it. Other Stunts Bob examined carefully the track Friday, nodded OK but inside was worried about the rough spots in the turn at the west end of the track on which he must start pushing it to the floor board in order to gain the tremendous speed needed to send him up the steep ramps and hurl him out over the cars and through the flaming fire wall. Another stunt on the show this afternoon will be a jump over four automobiles and into another car which has been set afire, This stunt will be done by one of the boys in the show.

Another will be a headon crash between four automobiles. Hayes is heading back to Georgia after playing steadily this season in the north, the New England states and Canada, and has three more weeks before going into winter quarters. Fishing Is Fun Except When- VANCOUVER, Wash. -Dr. Herbert C.

Maznicki got through the Wave for 18 and O'Rourke shot a pass 24 yards over the goal to Maznicki who was untouched.

Lukachick converted. The aerial attack with Connally tossing brought the next touchdown toward the end of the second when throws for 10, 35 and 13 put the ball on the three and Mike Hovolak took it over in two tries. Maznicki converted again. Boston's final counter came early in the third when Tulane finally threatened with its power, bringing the ball to its 40. But a bad pass from center sent the ball on fourth down to Tulane's 2 where Gene Goodreault caught the ball then Kissell hit the line twice.

Maznicki's try was blocked. Tennessee Wallops Mercer by 49 to 0 KNOXVILLE, Sept. 28 -Major Bob Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers toyed with the Mercer Bears for two quarters today and then buried them under a touchdown avalanche, 49-0, to clear the way for their major battle with Duke next Saturday. Using only the simplest plays, the Volunteers pushed across two touchdowns in the first half, and then turned on the power to roll up three touchdowns in the third period and two more in the last quarter before 10,000 fans. Little Mercer put up a gallant stand, with halfback Tony Page the brightest star, but the outclassed Georgians were able to cross 50- yard line only twice.

Once they drove Tennessee's 33-yard line with two completed passes, one allowed for interference, but were unable to penetrate the Tennessee defense further. The first Vol touchdown was scored by Bob Andridge on a sixyard reverse climaxing a 68-yard drive. The second team, led by little Johnny Butler, marched for 91 yards in the second quarter, Butler scoring from the 15. Foxx and Andridge scored again in the third, and substitute guard Max Steiner picked up a punt blocked by tackle Don Edmiston and raced 20 yards for another, tally. Reserves scored last two touchdowns.

Substitute end Al Hust took a pass from reserve tailback Van Thompson to end a 53- yard thrust, and substitute wingback Eldwood Powers skirted end on a reverse from the 18 for the final marker. Tennessee used four complete teams. NEW YORK, Sept. 28 ing with an irresistible rush through the stretch, the 6 to 1 shot Our Boots took down the winner's share of $67,000 in the 51st running of the Belmont Futurity today before a crowd of 25,000. The victory put Our Boots, a bargain two-year-old owned by Royce Martin, of Toledo, at the head of current juvenile rankings over the three colts who previously had ruled the division--King Cole, Whirlaway and New World.

These three trailed Our Boots in order at the end of the 61-2 furlong dash down the Widener straightaway today. Well soon after the start, Our Boots came up on the inside to finish a length and a half in front of King Cole, the 5-2 favorite owned by Ogden Phipps, of New York. The Bulldog colt paid $14.20 to win, $6.80 to place and $4.60 to show in the $2 mutuels. The winner's time of 1:15 3-5, while good for the distance, was one and two-fifths seconds behind the track record set by Porter's Mite in 1938. The crowd bet $221,886 on the race, pushing the total the day well over a million.

addition to the Futurity Belmont had the 21st running of the Jockey Club Gold cup over the twomile distance. It was a galloping victory for William Woodward's three-year-old, Fenelon, a 1-5 favorite. He easily distanced the other two starters, Joseph E. Widener's Iron Shot and the Barrington stable's Olympus. Fenelon won $6,700.
