Washington Again Ready
to Take On All Comers
Lack of Reserve
Strength Is Main Trouble
By Frank Gorrle
SEATTLE. Sept. 33. () Tip,
yip,
Jlp.
The University of Washington Bui'
ky la barking gridiron challenge
again after crawling around with lta
tall between Its legs following the
Inglorious Rose Bowl whipping It took
from the Pittsburgh Panther last New
Year's day.
Time and kind words have healed
tba wounds and the "big brute" is
ready to take on all comers again In
defense of the Pacific coast confer
ence championship.
Ii you listen to loose gossip Wash
ington has as good If not better ball
club than the undeleated conference
winners.
Lack Reserves
But If you take the time and trou
ble to 'analyze the situation you find
that some other team has a swell
chance to lift th'e 1937 crown.
Trouble la spelled with eight let
ters "reserves."
Despite the loss of a whole back
field and three main cogs of the
line, however, the first string stacks
up aa a powerful machine. Coach
Jimmy Phelan will admit that.
WasblnRtona immortal oackiieia
of Logg, Cain, Haines and Mowogros-
kl: all-American guard Max eiarce
rich, center John Wlatrak and tackle
Obuek Bond have departed.
"We aren't going to replace those
fellows by a country mile," said the
ooach, "but we have kids who will
come through on the first string
no doubt about It. The reserves are
something else again we're awful
weak In spots. We have nine games In
u many weeks and you have to have
reserve strength with that sort of
schedule."
Coach Fears Injuries
Phelan estimated the Huskies
might get Into the first division with
a struggle It not hit too bard by In
juries. His worries are fullbacks, quarter
backs and tackles to bsck up the
regulars.
Bill Hill, a great sophomore pros
pect at fullback, may ba kept on the
bench all season because of a spring
practice Injury. That means groom
ing a sophomore halfback. Don
Thompson, to relieve Al C raver,
touchdown scoring ace.
Another sophomore, Chsrles Bech
tol, was In line for second-string sig
nal barking. An Injury got him, and
a guard, Prank Oerretson, la getting
a, course of aprouta Just In case,
"If Bechtol comes through we might
line up a good second backfleld com
tolnatlon." said Phelan. "Otherwise
I'm afraid to think about It.
Tackles Scarce
The ooach la afraid he will find
tackles more scarce than touchdowns,
Only five were available on a squad
of more than 50.
The main backfleld will line up
with Chuck Newton, quarter; Capt
Prlta Wasko'wlts, and Jlmmle John-
aton, halfbacka and Cruver, fullback.
Although rated aa second-stringers
lsst year they did more than their
share of the work In the climb to the
championship.

Chapman, In his letter, reveals
some Interesting Information as to
the excellent chance offered young
ball players to break Into organized
baseball by attending the camps. He
stated that since 1034, when the
Reds first Inaugurated their train

several as being astonishingly suc

We have no Idea how many young

won't be any. But, here are a few
that we would sincerely like to see
