BROOKLYN EAGLE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 10, 194! BORO COLLEGE ON TWO-A-DAY GRID FOOTING Daily Double Means I fO Grid Dodgers Click But Not With a Bang Team Shows Mettle in Stubborn Stand Against Bears but Backfield Remains a Big Question Due to Lack of Seasoned Talent By LOU MSS George McAfee's 75-yard run for a touchdown in the last 37 seconds of play gave the Chicago Bears a 149 victory over Brooklyn's football Dodgers last night. That sounds like a tough break, butMt may prove anything but that. Coach Jock Sutherland hasn't that good a team right now. Of course, the good doctor and his players wanted to win, and they pointed for last night's meeting, but a victory in this exhibition game might have done the Dodgers more harm than good.

The Dodgers played as well, perhaps a bit better, than the Bears. If Ace Parker had been in the lineup instead of on the sidelines with a weak ankle, Brooklyn might even kis i 2) fry -fro Zale a Socker Of Old Ring School N. B. A. Claimant to Middleweight Title Faces Tough Foe in Abrams They're saying Tony Zale has come out of the same mold as the great punchers of the middleweight division of the past.

Stanley Ketchell, Billy Papke, Frank Klaus, Al McCoy, Bob Fitzsimmons and Mickey Walker are a few of the illustrious gentlemen who gave honor to this division, but for some NO DODGING OUR DODGERS Bill Osmanski of the Bears stepped into a hornet's nest os he carried the ball early in the game at Ebbets Field last night. Wendell Butcher is about to bring Bill dewn while coming up as reinforcements are (left to right), Perry Schwartz, Bud Svendsen and Happy Sivell. The Bears won, though. Camilli Now 4th In Dodger Fan Poll Dolph Displaces Fitz in Balloting For Flock's Most Popular Player Brawny Dolph Camilli, the Dodgers' first baseman, jumped into fourth place in today's poll in- the "popular" classification of the contest conducted by the Brooklyn Dodgers Victory Committee in co-operation with the Fabian Fox, the Brooklyn Paramount, the Strand and the 'Brooklyn Eagle. Camilli pushed Freddy Fitzsim- have won with plenty to spare.

It had the scoring opportunities, but didn't take full advantage of them. Yet the Dodgers weren't facing the same Chicago team that figures to claw its way to another National League championship. Reasoned Barks Needed Brooklyn was full of fight, had plenty of pop and outcharged the Bears most of the way. But, George Ha las has been playing his boys every two or three days and they weren't a charged-up unit last night. They didn't shirk, but playing three games of football in one week during a hot spell will take the pop out of any team.

Even if Brooklyn had won last night, another meeting would have found very few persons betting against the Bears. The Dodgers will have to improve over last night's excellent showing win the right to represent the East in the playoffs. Sutherland has strong line, but he hasn't quite enough seasoned backfield material. He expects to have a good first-utring backfield with Parker, Pug Manders. Wendell Butcher and either Dean McAdams or Merlyn Condit.

The value of the other backfield men is still a guess. Fumble Leads to Score Of course, if Owner Dan Topping rould buy McAfee, who scored the two touchdowns that beat the Dodgers, Sutherland might be more confident. McAfee is truly a great runner. His runback of Bill Leckonby's punt for 75 yards and the winning touchdown was a swell job. Only once did he seem cornered, that by Perry Schwartz, the All-League end, but Schwartz only forced him to reverse his field and go galloping down the left side behind some excellent blocking.

Only-Eddie Rueinski. the Indiana All-America, had good chance to bring McAfee down, but Eddie didn't crowd him towards the side, lines enough to make certain of his tackle. McAfee's first-period touchdown that got the Bears out in front was also the result of some fast stepping. Dick Plasman blocked a Leckonby punt and then fumbled It. McAfee picked it up and out-raced Butcher to the goal line.

Brooklyn's nine points were the result of field goals, two by Condit and the other by McAdams. Condit came through with a 43-yarder In the first period and a 22-yarder In the second session, with a 34-yard placement by McAdams sandwiched between these two in the farly part of the second session. Cox on B'way Mat 'Dynamite" Joe Cox makes his first Broadway Arena wrestling ft.art of the new season Saturday night when he grapples with Paul Boesch to a finish. time hard-hitteis In the 160-pound class have been conspicuous by their absence. Zale comes into the Garden Friday night in what really is his Eastern debut.

He had a few starts around here as a preliminary boy, but no one paid much attention to him. Even the ring experts can't seem to remember much about him. Friday he is paired with Georgie Abrams, the sailor who whipped middleweight boss Billy Soose in an over-the-weight match not long ago. Tony boasts of a title, too. He is the N.

B. A. claimant to the world's middleweight crown and it was his punch that brought him these laurels. He knocked out Al Hostak in 13 rounds in defense of his title and then flattened Steve Mamakos in 14 rounds in another defense. It is interesting to note that Zale accomplished his first knockout over Hostak and his triumph over Mamakos in the late rounds of their contests.

This indicates that Tony is able to retain his deadly wallop up to the closing minutes. This has always been the test of a good puncher. During' the past two years Zale has had 60 fights, and 29 just one short of half have seen Zale the winner via the kayo route. It Is a right-hand wallop under the heart which is Tony's outstanding sock. He uses it to good advantage In wearing down an opponent and then he shoots over his left hook or a right to the jaw for the finisher.

Tony winds up his training campaign for the Abrams bout today while Georgie finishes his drilling at Madame Bey's in Summit, New Jersey. Max Joss has signed a pair of promising youngsters for the supporting card of his opening show at the Broadway Arena Tuesday. They are brothers, Harvey and Stanley Tischler, the sons of Terry Moran, who 31 years ago made an unsuccessful attempt to lift Johnny Coulon's bantamweight crown. Harvey is paired with Salvy Ian-none in a six and Stanley meets Tommy Marino in a four. The main event brings together Andre Jes-sutun and Lou Schwartz.

Twin Drills Each Day As Oshins Snaps Whip Brooklyn College's grid squad will receive no respite from work this Fall. Not only did Lou Oshins put his Kingsmen through another stiff scrimmage yesterday their second 1- as many days but the borough college head coach announced that from now on until classes begin two weeks from today, the Brooklyn crew would be sent through double workouts daily. Oshins has a line coach to assist him this season. Usually he handles the entire task alone. But this year Irv Wolfson, who was both Kings-men co-captain and 220-pound tackle during the 1940 campaign, has been assigned to aid him with the chores.

Bear Touchdowns Come in Nature of Unwanted Surprise In spite of the war weather, 27.301 persons paid to see the Bears beat the Dodgers Both Bears' touchdowns were unexpected and provided two of the big thrills of the night The Dodgers got a break when Bruiser Kinard recovered McAfee's fumble, but then Leckonby's attempted quick kick was blocked and McAfee went 30 yards for the score Artoe added the point after touchdown.

Pu? Manders' 38-yard runback of Artoe's kickoff set tip Brooklyn's first score The Dodgers pot as far as the Bears' 31-yard line, lost eight yards, and then Condit dropped back to the 43 for a perfect field goal. The Dodgers had several touchdown chances. They drove to the 18 before they were checked in the second period They came on again later a.s far as the 14-yard line and should have scored but Herman Hodges failed to hold Leckonby's pass over the Roal line In the third period they went as far as the eight-yard line and again were stopped. Brooklyn's bigsest chance came in the fourth session when a great pass play from McAdams to Sta-sica gained 50 yards and brought the ball to the Bears' 14 McAdams gained six and Stasica picked up two yards, but at this point McAdams fumbled and Wilson recovered for the Bears.
