SPORTS ROUNDUP By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. NEW YORK, Oct. 16. — UP) — Baseball brain-teaser: George H. Poore of Amsterdam, N. Y., asks a question that led to a lot of reseai’ch by this department: Who was man ager of the New York Giants before John McGraw? . . . Try that on your memory and we’ll give the answer later —along with the tip that it’s almost as hard to find as who’ll be the next Brooklyn manager . . . Bobby Ruffin, who has beaten four champs and ex-champs without win nine a title, hones the N. B.

T.C.U. won, 3-0, in 1931; next year it was a 3-3 tie and the Sugar bowl game of 1936 brought a 3-2 victory for the Tex ans. DID YOU KNOW IT? Here's the answer to that lead ing question: McGraw became Giant manager in July, 1902, after Horace Fogel and George Smigh had failed to keep the club from slipping into the cellar. . . And in ten years before that, after Jim Mutrie finished his nine - year term, the Giants operated under 11 different managers.

Of Pennsylvania Beats Lckehurst Sailors, 74-6 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16— A mighty University of Pennsyl vania football team, conquerors of Princeton, Yale and Dartmouth, rolled up the biggest score at Fran klin Field in 22 years today, thump ing an outclassed Lakehurst Na val Air Station elevn 74-6 before 20,000. From the opening minutes of the game, when the Penn varsity ran up 14 points, in half as many min utes, there was no doubt about the outcome, and the score kept right on mounting as Coach George Mun ger stripped the Penn bench of substitutes, giving the youngsters experience for the stiffer competi tion ahead. Frank McKernan, the red and blue placement-kicking specialist who trots onto the field only to attempt conversions, made the long journey from the bench to the two yard line ten times, and kick ed seven points., but finally was waved to the side line after final touchdown and reserve guard Jay Rubin booted the point.

Mighty Duke Defeats Carolina, 14 To 7 - * X X i X X X X X X X X DEVIL RUNNING ATTACK IS TOO MUCH FOR HEELS i__ Davis Hot As Big Blues Roll Up 14 1st Downs To Carolina’s 2 DURHAM, Oct. 16—(.Pi— Duke university capitalized on power and alertness today and defeated the University of North Carolina 14-7 in a Southern conference football game watched by 32,000 spectators. Duke had it all to its liking dur ing the first three quarters, but in the final period North Carolina em ployed its air talents to send Ed die Bryant, up from Virginia, on a 25-yard touchdown run. A pass in terception stymied another Caro lina threat in the last minutes. Both squads were studded with Naval V-12 cadets, none of whom i did their work better, however, | than the Poole boys, Ray and Bar ; ney. from Mississippi, playing ends for the losing Tar Heels. Duke scored first midway of the opening quarter after Benny Citta dino on a clever end around moved to the Carolina four, and plunging Tom Davis crashed over. Bob i Gantt, his hand still injured. Kick ed the point. Howard Hartley contributed the other Duke score in the next quar : ter when he intercepted Billy My er’s pass on the Carolina 48 and scooted down the righ side, swerv ed into midfield and back down the sideline into pay dirt. He travel ed behind perfect blocking by Jim Copley, ex-Wake Forest star, who took out three would-be tacklers. Again Gantt’s tote was true, al though this time he was suffering from an injured leg he suffered in a previous play. Duke made 14 first downs to North Carolina's two and 245 yards net rushing to a minus 21 for the Tar Heels. Duke completed neith er of its two forward pass attempts, while North Carolina connected with six of 16 for 117 yards. Clip ping. penalties added greatly to Duke's 101-yard loss in that field, while North Carolina was assess ed 15 yards. It was the 29th meeting of the schools since 1888. In 1889, how ever, a game was forfeited and both Duke and Carolina claimed a victory. If Duke’s figures are correct, the schools are even, if Carolina’s are correct, the Tar Heels are a game ahead Pat Preston, former Wake Forest player who’s usually there at the right time, recovered a fumble by Hosea Rodgers, of North Caro lina in the first quarter on the Tar Heels’ 18. but an unnecessary roughness penalty set back the Dukes 15 yards. Duke was unable to get anywhere through the line or air, so Tom Davis dropped back to punt, only to have his kick blocked. Billy Myers and Eddie Bryant found the going tough, and Duke took over on fourth down. Davis crashed for nine to the Tar Heel 23, then made it first down at the 20. Buddy Luper and Davis com bined in moving to the 15 and then Cittadino swept to the four and Da vis went over, Johnny Perry, up from Wake Forest, and Bob McDougal, former ly of Miami university, made It a first down at the Carolina 30. but there the Poole boys stepped in, and Duke had to kick out. Neither team could dent the oth er's forward wall to great advan tage. and Carolina’s vaunted pass ing attack was put into play. Then Hartley stepped in with his touch down-pass interception. Myers cracked off 17 yards in two tries to the Duke 47 as a response. A Myers fumble cost Carolina 14 yards and the minor threat ended. Davis, Luper and Blount alter nated in moving to the Carolina 40. and there, with a foot to go on ' fourth down. Davis swept right end | to the Carolina 23 but Carolina held j and took over. Lloyd Blount, ex Mississippi State, .Cittadino. and Buddy Luper made some ground on reverses but a statue of liberty play and a clipping penalty set Duke back to its 42. Duke kicked out and Myers hurled a long pass to Jack Hussey. It was incom plete, but officials ruled interfer ence and Carolina took the ball on its 26. Then Hartley intercepted an (Continucd on Page Nine; Col. 51 --—V | Bellweather, Black Badge ! Capture Remsen Handicap NEW YORK, Oct. 16 —(.¥>— A 1 field of 22 overnight entries for the $10,000 added Remsen Handi cap at Jamaica today caused the feature to be run in two sections and both were won by outsiders. Commander Harry Guggen heim’s Bellweather, a colt which never before had captured a stakes event, splashed through the sloppy six furlongs in 1:15 1-5 to take the first half of the Rem sen and pay $27.60 for $2 to his backers in the crowd of 28,236 while Black Badge, owned by Abe Hirschberg, led the second sec tion in the impressive time of 1:11 2-5 and paid $24.70 for $2. Bellweather had a ten-pound weight edge over Henry Lustig's Dance Team, the favorite, which finished second by half a length starts. Three lengths farther back after winning his last three came William Helis’ Tropeg.

Wake Forest moved to a touch down before the first period was half over. Garrison recovered Cooke’s fuble on the State 24 anc Sacrinity and Perry bucked the ball over in two tries. C. Hobb’s kick for the point was good. State came back with a threat of its owr that ended on Wake Forest's 2* when the Deacons held for downs, After a punt exchange as the second period opened, the Deacons moved to another score. Taking Turner's kick on their 35, Sacrini ty, Brogden, and Grant led a march to the -State two-yard line From there Grantt plunged ovei and C. Hobbs placekicked the point.

From there, Turn er passed to Gibson on the Dea cons’ one, and Sutton bucked ii over. His placekick was wide. Th< Deacons quickly retaliated, this time covering Turner’s fumbl6 or the State 40.

POWERFUL IRISH TROUNCE BADGERS Bertelli Flings 2 Touch Down Heaves In 50-0 Rout MADISON, Wis., Oct. 16.—Lfl— ; Mighty Notre Dame, the team with the high priorities on touchdowns, first downs, and yards gained by rushing, put these items togeth er for another victory today as it processed an outclassed by game Wisconsin football eleven, 50 to 0. Hardly had the 18.000 spectators arranged their stadium robes about them when the Irish, the nation’s inumber one footballers, headed j their supercharged model "T” in the direction of the Wisconsin end , zone. , Eight times they crossed the Badger goal, three times in the first period, once in the second, two in the third, and two in the fourth. It might have been more often had not Irish Coach Frank Leahy inserted substitutes freely. Wisconsin threatened seriously , only once—Jate in the second pe , riod. The victory left the Irish unde feated and untied in their four starts this season, and ran their total to 181 or better than 45 a game. Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame’s human bombsight passer, found the target twice for a total of 49 yards and scored one of the Irish touchdowns, and kicked the only two extra points which Notre Dame was able to get. ---v- ‘ Powerful Boilermakers Blast Ohio State’ 30-7 CLEVELAND. Oct. 16—i-T'—Pur due's undefeatetd Boilmakers turn ed on their vaunted power on a soaking wet field today to come from behind and hand Ohio State's youthful Buckeyes their third loss in four games, 30 to 7, before a crowd of 41,509. Purdue scored all its touchdowns in the last half after Ohio took the lead with one in the first period. S. C. GUARDSMEN ROMP TO 36 TO 0 WIN OVER ’CATS Coast Guard Too Much For Inexperienced Da vidson Team CHARLOTTE, Oct. 16.—fJP)— Led by a big guard, Bill Henderson, who scored 12 points, the South Carolina Coast Guard eleven, of Charleston defeated Davidson Col lege here today by 36 to 0. There were only two thousand specta tors. The Coast Guardsmen, while ac cumulating 329 yards by rushing and passing, smothered Davidson’s attack so completely the Wildcats did not penetrate beyond the Charlestonians’ 20-yard line, and were held in their own territory for nearly all the rest of the game. The losers gained only eight yards net in rushing. Henderson started the scoring for the Coast Guard when his place ment in the second quarter from Davidson’s 2-yard line split the uprights for a field goal. And he closed with a 40-yard run after intercepting a pass. Henderson also place-kicked three convers ions. The South Carolina team sand wiched in four touchdowns between Henderson’s field goal and touch down dash, thusly: Lawrence Spencer passed to Jim Lancaster on the old “sleeper” play for 50 yards in the second period. Jack Taggart whipped off his right tackle, reversed his field and sped up the sideline for 47 yards just before half-time. John Adamiec plunged four yards for six points in the third quarter. And Henry Keating hurtled one yard for a score in the last period. Taggart, an Asheville boy, was a constant threat to the losers, eat ing up sizeable yardage with cut backs inside tackle and sweeps around the ends. Another out standing performer for the victors was Lancaster, an adept pass re ceiver. Altogether, the Coast Guard club was distinctly superior to the 17 j (Continued on Page Nine; Col. 6) Barrow Better Improvement was reported in condition of Edward Grant Bar row, who is in New Rochelle Hos pital for treatment of heart ail ment.
