Wood 'Wins' City High School Football jamboree
Mostly-Tan Woodchucks Show Real Grid Power
iMSS
Br CHARLES S. PRESTON Horry E. Wood's mostly-ton gridders hove served notice on the city that they're out for the championship and might very
well take it.
That was the chief result as the rip-roaring Woodchucks "won" the Jamboree last week. Sophomore Frank McGrone, a bruising fullback who showed his power lost season, scored two touchdowns in the Jamboree and the resulting 12 points were just twice as much as any other of the 8 teams could tally.

slated for their first regular game against Scecina at CYO Field on Friday, Sept. 11, at 8 p. m. We suggest that thinking fans would do well do take it in. Of course we know the Jamboree coaches were playing ’em close to the chest, mindful that the bi? show “didn’t mean anything” and therefore not wanting to re\eal their hole cards. George Galt* of Shortride, for instance, was aware that Richmond scouts were
watching.
SHINY NEW GYM: "Scrumptious" is the word for the Fall Creek Parkway YMCA's bandbox-new gymnasium, whose shiny floor fairly cries out for a basketball game to start. Actually the word is "gymnasia," because there are really two gymnasiums with a canvas divider, 10 feet high, with netting above 10 feet — making it possible
to carry on two activities at one time. There are 6 baskeball backboards. Knockdown bleachers on the west wall accommodate 500 spectators, while 1,000 people can be comfortably seated for mass meetings. There is a forced-air system to eliminate the traditional "gym aroma."

sed their bets, still feel their man has a chance to stage a comeback. However, John Reed Kilpatrick, chairman of the board of Maditon Square Garden, insists Patterson is “all washed up.” In a talk last. week, Kilpatrick said the punch that licked Patterson “did something to him.” “Patterson will never recover from that right hand to the mouth,” Kilpatrick said. “He’ll never be the same
again.”
Despite this pessimistic statement, some sports aces feel Patterson will take care of his interests the next time he meets the Swedish champion. They evidently think it. will be a comeback similar to that Joe Louis pulled in his celebrated second match with Max . Sehmeling on June 22, 1938.

SAN FRANCISCO—Sam Jones, the toothpick-chewing moundi'man who once pitched for Indianapolis, is the San Francisco Giants’ key hurler in their drive for the National League pennant. “Sad Sam” won his 19th victory of the season Monday, beating St. Louis 4-2. He had suffered 12 defeats. But a big point W’as that he had appeared in 43 games— just about one-third the number the Giante have played this year. Through the stretch drive Jones is taking his regular turn on the mound—once every 4 or 5 days — and also working out nearly every day in the bullpen as a relief ace. The Giants are so dependent on Sam that Manager Bill Rigney looks his way every time <he opContinued on Page 13
Shortridge. also a predominantly Negro team, was st.iiedulcd to open at Richmond this Friday, Sept. 11, and it’s understandablo ’hat Gale didn't want to give* his stuff away. STILL, IT’S DOUBTFUL that Shortridge or the other “name” teams intended to look that darn shaggy. The fact is that in McGrone and Wilbert Winston, a speedy halfback who led the city’s scorers for most of the season last year, Wood has a couple of ball-toters who This writer observed that the Woodchucks showed promise a year ago. If - the team can play consistently and mend defensive lapses, the city trophy might stay on the Southside — but in the halls of Wood rather than Manual. It was one of those defensive lapses that allowed the Jamboree’s third touchdown — on a sudden 60-yard sweep by another tan player, Rex Stark of Shortridge. Stark broke off right tackle very fast and all the way to give the “Americans” 6 points against the 12 already compiled by the “Na-
tionals.”

Besides Stark in the Blue Devil lineup, we saw Charles Whitney, DeWitt King, Morris Whitney, John Walker, Albert Evans, Lou Williams, Gerald McCall, Ray Satterfield. John Charleston, Fletcher Wiley, Melvin Wilburn, Lloyd Lyons, Hcrshel Mann, Ken Warren, Melvin Jeter and Elbert Cheatum. In addition there was No. 17 (?), whose name \vas not listed on the
program.
Mann was injured twice and had to be taken from the field.
At first glance we thought the millenium had arrived and Shortridge had integrated its drum majorettes. But closer inspection revealed we were looking at the Wood girls, who included 10 Negro marchers and 4 Caucasians. Good for Wood! * * *

BROAD RIPPLE OUTSCORED vaunted Manual, 6-0, and then Attucks and Howe took the field to play a scoreless quarter. Attucks’ star halfback, Andrew Sims, stayed on the sidelines due to a sprained ankle. The Tiger offense didn’t look good except for a 30-yard pass from William Gee to Claude Williams. Some nice defensive plays were turned in by William Walker. Frank Turman and

Following her triumph, Althea ateclosed she had “no immediate plans to turn pro, but if the offer is attractive enough, I will accept.” She said her present plans call for a return “to my year of retirement” which is not up until after the Forest Hills tournament.

The Irish team is “larger than it has been for the past two or three years,” according to the coach. ON THE OTHER HAND, Attucks also has god size, especially in the line. Coach Graham Martin’s boys are noted for playing well against Cathedral. If the Tigers can get their game clicking, they might just start off the year with an upset. The Attucks team has the ad-

Fun Bowl, or Mrs. Gladys King. Mrs. King invites beginners and advanced bowlers to come in for instructions free. The Mixed Doubles League, that was a great hit with the bowlers last season,
answered the starter’s gun Wednesday. It is a handicap affair in which everyone has a good chance. Who will win the Seson’s Jackpot for 650 or better? I’m betting on the advanced bowlers. Maybe Red Kelly, Richard Covington, John Morris, Ray Butler, Isaac Thurman, Amos Baker or Thurman Moore.
those weren’t the regular Tiger plays you saw if you were there last Friday. They were “Jamboree Specials," used in order to hide the real stuff from future oppon-
ents.

LEG-INJURY HANDICAPS seem to be the unfortunate rule with Green-and-Gold grid teams. This year is no exception. Biggest ques-tion-mark is star halfback Andrew Sims, who sat out the Jamboree with a sprained ankle. Sims was working out this week, but his use against Cathedral might be limited. He is the best runner on the Attucks team. Also suffering from a bad ankle, is veteran end Courtland Lewis. He also missed the Jamboree, but sems to be rounding into shape faster than Sims. Taking up part of the slack at halfback will be sophomore Isadore Robinson, a fast track man and scoring star of last year’s freshman team. Robinson personally tallied as many points as the entire varsity last season, when the freshman team won 6 of 7 games, losing only to Cathedral. Roosevelt Johnson, a junior, also will see halfback action. At fullback will be veteran William Gee. the team’s punter. WALTER GAINES is back from last year at quarterback, and his passing looks to be improving. Behind him are two sophomores, Jesse Brooks and Albert Umphrey. Joe Potter, destined to be the Tigers’ regular fullback, is out of action far an indefinite period with a dislocated shoulder. Potter weighs 180 and has speed to bum. “If we had him, we could move Sims to right half and Get to left half, which are their proper positions,” said a member of the team Tuesday. But of course you can’t play football games with “if,” Another halfback is David Bridgeforth. IT IS IN THE line, averaging about 190 pounds, that Attucks loks best. Here we find such performers as Frank Turman, 225; Richard Sanders, 218; William Walker, 185; John Moore, 175; Robert Bradley, 180, and Raymond Ramsey, a 210-pound boy out of the South.
