TURNESA 5-UP AT 18 IN GOLF TITLE PLAY
Eastern Star Brilliant on T rap Shots
Abbott Trails at Halfway Mark in U. S. Amateur At Oakmont.
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor OAKMONT, Pa. Sept. 17.—Willie Turnesa, hope of the East in the National Amateur Golf Championship, waded through more sand than there is in the Sahara today, but came gallantly out of Oakmont’s cruel traps to take the lead at 18 holes over Pat Abbott, California movie extra. Abbott, a frail, pale youngster
from Altadena, Cal, ran into Turnesa on a day when the Briar Cliff Manor, N. Y., lad was red hot with recoveries out of deep, damp traps. When they halted for luncheon, Turnesa was 5 up. Time after time, Turnesa, wild from tee and fairway, seemed about to teeter into disaster but invariably he came out of the traps with arching shots that were dead to the flag.
Sensational Recovery
His recovery from a trop, deep as a well, on the ninth hole was one of the great shots of this or any other golf tournament. On the 18th green Turnesa dropped a fivefoot putt for a par 4 against Abbott’s 5. The final match was played through a chilly, gray day and both players were bundled up as though they planned an expedition to the North Pole. Eighteen more holes were to be played this afternoon, The card for the first nine: 5-4-4-5-4-3-4-3.5—37 5-3-6-5-5-3-4-1-5—40 vv 5-5-4-5-4-3-4-3-4—37

Turnesa in § ! Turnesa 5 up. Great Ones Just Watch They are the best of 163 who started Monday across Oakmont's long, lean fairways in a tournament that turned out to be a bed of clover for dark horses. Johnny Fischer, Johnny Goodman, Gus Moreland, Charlie Yates and all the other great ones were on the sidelines today, standing behind the ropes of the gallery marshals and watching the unknowns go up the glory road. Abbott came to this momentous day as a result of wading through the upper bracket and defeating Ray Billows, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Tom Draper Jr. St. Louis; James E. Fraser, Absecon, N, J.; Joseph Thompson, Hamilton, Ontario, and Dick Chapman, Greenwich, Conn. His 36-hole match with Chapman yesterday was a classic lesson in how to get ahead in a golf tournament. He won the first three holes and never lost the lead. Turnesa Followed Suit Turnesa did it the easy way, too. He also won the first three holes and from then on it was just a question of when he would send the winning putt gurgling into the cup. He was playing Edwin Kingsley of Magna, Utah, and the great moment for Turnesa came on the 33d hole where his opponent floundered in and out of traps for a wretched seven. Playing cautiously and forcing the law of averages to go to work for him, Turnesa was content with a mediocre five which gave him the match. Turnesa came out of the pack by defeating John P. Burke, Middletown, R. I.; Art Lynch, Mamaroneck, N. Y.; Johnny Fischer, Cincinnati; Chris Brinke, Birmingham, Mich, and Kingsley,

Shortridge Tramples Broad Ripple: Irish Win From Southport, 14 to 13
Coach Nipper’s Team Gains 33-0 Triumph in City Gridiron Clash.
By LEO DAUGHERTY
The Shortridge Blue Devils today had drawn first blood in the city scholastic series with a surprising 33-0 triumph over the Broad Ripple Rockets before approximately 3000 at Shortridge Field yesterday afternoon. And under the lights at Roosevelt Stadium last night, before another 3000, Cathedral's Irish registered their second consecutive victory by taking a 14-13 thriller from the
Southport Cardinals, The Shortridge-Ripple game was
marked by a display of no less than 12 backs by Coach Bob Nipper of the Blue Devils whose pre-game blues disappeared on the scoreboard. The Irish-Cardinal tussle was fought in the air with the Cardinals completing nine out of 19 heaves and the Blue and Gold making good four out of 13. Thirty-two tosses in one game! And were the addicts out of their seats? The Blue Devils held the edge in the rst scoreless stanza against the Rockets, which ended with Coach Ed Diederich’s crew in possession of the ball deep in their own territory. 70-Yard Return
On the first play of the second period, Ripple’s Gene Meihsner booted to Bob Scott, who had replaced the sparkling Johnny Allerdice at left half, and he raced 70 yards for a counter. Dave Smith went in for Raber at the other half to place kick, but missed for the extra point. Taking the ball on a punt after the kickoff, Shortridge’s fullback, Bunce Johnson, and Scott and Smith found holes at the opposing tackles and began a goalward march, the tally being posted when Brad Hoelscher snared Scott's pass. Johnny Allerdice limped back into the game to replace Scott and place-kicked the extra point. Shortridge got a break early in the third quarter when Hoelscher recovered Bill Wetmore’s fumble on the Broad Ripple 15. Scott was back in and he and Johnson rammed at
the line until Johnson scored and 18 for the Blue Devils and three for. |

With Smock’s help they marched from midfield when Shedron found a hole at the Rocket's right tackle and eased over, Maynard hitting the line for the extra point. It was the same story in the fourth quarter, another sustained march, ending with Mitchell, another reserve back, crossing the line on a plunge. Miller; still another reserve, fumbled before he got away on an attempted run for the point. Add to those backs the Nipper displayed, Shellhorn, Stauber, Van Tassell, Dicky, Sheridan and Craycroft. The Rockets never penetrated hostile territory to within 25 feet of the goal line. Wetmore, Howard Scott, Meihsner and Wayne Thompson did best for the Rockets in their losing battle.

Football in the Night
The night air was filled with footballs out at Southport when the Irish passed their way to the onepoint victory, marring Southport’s
early record which had shown an opening game victory over Seymour. They squared off about evenly in the first round, but on the first play of the second frame, Johnny Williams of the Cardinals broke loose and sprinted 50 yards to the Cathedral 4-yard line before Salvador Calderon, who had been blocked out of the play earlier, raced and nailed him with a flying tackle. Ed Schienbein careened off tackle for the marker. Bill Shimer, still nursing an injury, was sent in long enough to try for the point with a placement kick, but missed. It was then that the fighting spirit which Coach Joe Harmon has been trying to instill into the Irish showed itself.

Williamson Predicts N. D. Will Be 1938 Champion
Expert Rates Layden’s Team No. 1 on Preseason Football Data; Sees Illinois Coming Up This Fall.
(Editor's Note: Beginning at an early date, The Times will publish Paul B, Wile liamson’'s weekly ratings of football teams and his predictions of forthcoming games. These authoritative scientific ratings last year were 90 per cent consistent with the season's actual results. Following is Williamson's preseason survey of national football prospects. Watch how closely he calls the turn on football fram week to week throughout the season.)
By PAUL B. WILLIAMSON
It looks like a great year for the Irish and not alone because of Douglas Corrigan. The Fighting Irish of the University of Notre Dame, seem destined to be America’s national football champions for 1938 when the last whistle blows. : I make this prediction in full awareness of all that can happen to bright prospects when Saturday’s Children actually get into action. Many an early-season rose winds up as a wilted geranium on Thanksgiving Day. But basic quality usually triumphs in the long run, and on the evidence of my exhaustive investigation of 600 football teams, Elmer Layden’s boys definitely have the stuff. Even if fickle fortune, in the guise of injuries, weather and football
Irish, I'm sure you will find 1938's top team of America somewhere in the following list of the First Fifteen. If their preseason form holds up—and that's a very big “if’"— these 15 teams ought to lead the national parade at the end of the season in the order named:
. Notre Dame 9. Alabama . Auburn 10. Washington . Stanford 11. Illinois . Pittsburgh 12. Cornell Rice 13. Duke . Dartmouth 14. W. Virginia . Vanderbilt 15. Harvard 8. N. Carolina Behind this concise lineup is an immense amount of football information, gathered, cross indexed and analyzed steadily since last spring. It comes from newspaper reports, from letters and interviews with coaches, and from a questionnaire recently sent to coaches, athletic directors and other officials at nearly 760 different colleges. From significant facts thus gathered and compared to similar data on the file cards of all scheduled opponents, a preliminary rating for each team is calculated. This year, when every statistical operation consistent with the information in hand had been performed, Notre Dame's rating emerged as the highest, with the other 14 teams close on its heels.
Importance of Schedule
The over-all strength of the schedule a team faces is the most important single factor taken into account in arriving at a true national ranking. A team lucky enough to meet only weaker opponents in its own section may end the season unbeaten, untied and the undisputed champion of its conference, but that means little in comparing that team to conference champions elsewhere. Indeed, the runner-up in the same conference might be the more consistent team, and earn a higher rating, if the games it lost were to very powerful opponents. The No. 1 team in these ratings must meet and conquer other great teams, and the same holds true comparatively for all the other rankings right down the line. From the standpoint of coldblooded mathematical reasoning, it is not surprising to find a large number of the first 15 coming from the East and South. This season it looks very much as if the Eastern cradle of football will regain some of its dominance, and the South (really the Southeast) will also provide championship football for the rest of the nation to follow.
Past Predictions
Last year I predicted that a team from the Paciflc Coast or Southeast would head the list. In 1936 it was the Middle West, and in 1935 the Southwest. That turned out to be good statistical prognostication, although some fans said ‘uncanny prophecy.” We shall see what happens in 1938. Turning now to the teams themselves, here are some of the reasons why I pick the leaders as I do: NOTRE DAME
Notre Dame is No. 1 because, first, its schedule takes it into leading conferences all over the nation. Nevertheless it has a good chance to win all its games, and even if it ties one, such a record would give the Irish the best claim of any team for the national championship. Although there is a lot of moaning in South Bend about graduation losses and ‘‘sophomoritis,”” Elmer Lavden's huge squad numbers a lot of stars. Notre Dame's toughest games are likely to be with Northwestern and Illinois, vhe latter apparently neaded for the Big Ten cham-
ionship. p AUBURN
Another team with a tough intersectional schedule is Auburn, anv one of whose 10 games may turn out to be the best one of all plaved in 1938. Jack Meagher’'s boys meet five unusually strong Southeastern teams, plus Rice—probable Southwest champion—and Villanova, which will be a power in the East.
STANFORD
Maybe all that talk about Southern California returning to the top on the Pacific Coast will turn out to be true, but to me it looks-like Stanford's year. Tiny Thornhill has a powerful line, made up mostly of 1937 regulars, plus one of the sweetest backfields in America. e Indians seem headed for the Rose Bowl, especially if they get by Washington, but No. 3 is the highest they can achieve nationally with only one intersectional game, against Dartmouth, on their schedule.
PITTSBURGH
Jock Sutherland will be at it again, with a dream backfield including the one-man team. Goldberg. and a superb line. Pitt should finally break its series of ties with Fordham this year, in fact should win all its games—although it had better not he overconfident with West Virginia ; Their schedule
luck, does turn her back on the:
for Dartmouth as the national champion if it has an undefeated season, but I can’t see that because of the several breathers scattered in its relatively light
schedule, VANDERBILT
If anybody is to stop Alabama this year, Vandy will do it, and robably Louisiana State will also fall before the Commodores by a lot more than the trick play that did it last year. Coach Ray Morrison is positively tearful about his chances this year, but that shouldn't fool anybody. NORTH CAROLINA
The Tarheels have a rangy schedule which includes Tulane, N. Y. U., Forde ham, and Duke, all of whom they are scheduled to beat. Duke is likely to put up the hardest game. Coach Raymond Wolf has a great first team which should fans the Southern Conierence champion= ALABAMA
Some remarkable opening games are scheduled this season, and Alabama should win one of them, against Southern California. Alabama seems to have a better team even than in 1937, but it doesn't meet such topflight competition as some of the other outfits in the South ern Conference. WASHINGTON If Stanford doesn’t represent the Pae cific Coast in the Rose Bowl, it will ba because Jimmy Phelan has one of the finest squads in the nation at Washington. The Huskies meet Minnesota in another nonbreather opener, and should win. They seem slated to win all their games with the exception of Stanford, but they had better watch Oregon and — here's a sleeper—Idaho! ILLINOIS
Though T pick the Illini to lead the Big en this year, Notre Dame will probably beat them, and with two or three wea spots in the Illinois schedule. No. 11 is the highest they can get in the national rankings.
Of the others, it is noteworthy that Cornell is back in Ivy League glory again this year, topped only by Dartmouth. Duke and Harvard are about where one would expect them to be, but a real surprise is the strong appearance of West Vir= ginia. Coach Marshall Glenn is re= puted to have the best team there since 1928.
