took the ho' P.tz.-r snd i :.) the re a' or a-e: ne rd zp ha By Doc Hoist A full half dozen of nice fresh Pittsburgh Panthers, alias Detroit Olympics, begin a furious battle Mondav morning to stay In Detroit. This group can win its battle by beating out a half dozen members of the Red Wings for their jobs. To displace six men who were members of the world's best hockey club in 1936 is not an easy chore but it can be done. Jack Adams, Detroit's hockey czar, says o. The six who will give battle for Red Wing jobs are: Johnny Sherf, who starred as a left winger last season, his first in pro hockey; Don Deacon, center; Carl Lis-combe, left winger; Clarence Drouillard, center; Johnny Gallagher, left clefenseman, and Orville Roulston, left defenseman.

At least those six are rated an even chance to stay up. Training for the 1036-37 edition of the Red Wings starts at a. m. Monday at Northwestern Field. The O's, now known ss the Pittsburgh Panthers although that nickname may be changed, will train with the Red Wings this year ss in the past.

Ice at Pittsburgh's Duquesne Gardens will not be available until late this month. City Series Carries Over It also was announced Saturday at Olympia that the transfer of the Olympics to Pittsburgh will not cause the abandonment of the traditional city series. One of the games, however, may be played at Pittsburgh. The Red Wings also have an exhibition game with the Toronto Maple Leafs at Windsor for Kiwanis charities. All of those games will be played just before the Red Wings open their official season at Toronto Nov.

5. The first home game is Nov. 8 against the New York Rangers. In discussing the coming season, Jack Adams said: "We beat the world last season with 15 men. Appreciating the fact that the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup, I nevertheless will not hesitate to improve that aggregation if any member of the O's, pardon me, the Panthers, show me that they ran play better hockey than the world champions.

I'm wide open for conviction." The very cautious Mr. Adams, however, added quirkly: "You never can tell. I might start the season with the 1936 Stanley Cuppers intact. I sincerely doubt it, however, as there must be some National League ability on a minor league club that could walk through the opposition like the O's did." Trades Are Possible The battle of the six Olympics to stay out of Pittsburgh nevertheless does not moan that the Red Wings they displaced would go to Pittsburgh. Most of them would be used in major league sales or trades.

Take Scotty Bowman for Instance. This much-stitched defense gentleman persistently figures in a rumor that Connie Smythe wants him for the Maple Ieafs at Toronto. Another rumor Is that the revived Flying Frenchmen, of Montreal, would give almost anything except their mountain for Mud Rrunctenu, the young French lad who in the cup series became the goal-scoring hero of the world longest hockey game. He's only 21, a capable right winger, and Owner James Norris may be loath to part with his former office boy. But there is a tradition in hockey thai all little French boys somehow morally belong to the Canadicns.

He may go. Of the Olympic players, Gallagher, Roulston and Sherf seem to have the best chance to stay up. Roulston, 24 years old, never has been given a chance in the majors. He is a capable, hard-fighting, fearless defenseman, a young man who takes sass on the ice from no foe. Sherf made his pro debut last fall and despite two broken shoulder blades, proved himself a tar on many occasions.

Gallagher Come Up The chance for Gallagher, of known major league caliber because of his former service there, will depend on his health. Injuries kept him from hockey altogether for two years. He returned last season and starred on the minor league club. Reports on his health are that he never was better. Young Liscombe, like Sherf, made his pro debut last fall with the O's.

While of unquestioned major league caliber eventually, he may be another year away. Drouillard was the offensive ace of the Windsor Bulldogs last season. He was bought by the O's at the end of last season. Don Deacon's chance to make the majors after a year in the minors probably will depend a lot on his ability to get in shape. He is Vnown as a slow starter who eventually ends in a whirlwind.

Then there is Howard Mackey, a right winger of Kitchener, Ont, who many observers say may have a chance to make the National League without stopping at the minors. He played with the Hamilton Tigers, an amateur club, last season. His partner, Sylvan Apps, a center, has been signed by Toronto and is said to be a sure shot to stick.

Musoomoot Bay seemed deserted by gunners. According to Conservation Officers Everett Tucker and Vearo Klliot who patrolled this area, duck regulations were well observed, including the prohibition on canvas- backs and redheads.

Not a single I hunter was found inside the boundaries of the St. Clair water- fowl sanctuary, despite the fact! that thnimnnria nf ridrUa rAatnH I there. One flock of diving ducks inside the refuge was estimated to number almost 3,000. Many too-eager hunters began shooting early, but the closing hour of five o'clock was well observed. Duck hunters in Wildfowl Bay near Scbewaing had similar good shooting, according to Martin Webb and Farley Tubbs, of Lansing, who opened the season in that area.

Many hunters killed their limits in the forenoon. Thunderstorms, accompanied by rain came down the Bay, rolling the water into the shore and with it the ducks. Wildfowl bags consisted of teal, mallards, blacks and some pintails. Flint Team Falls to Grosse Pointed Maas Paces Triumph Over Central FLINT, Oct. 10 An invading Grosse Tointe High eleven stopped Flint Central, victor in two previous games, 21-14, in a bitterly contested game here today.

A 65-yard touchdown dash by Jack Maas, Polnte halfback, put Central in the hole in the first quarter and from then on the Polnte eleven held the upper hand. A forward pass from Bridge to Veronckt put the Detroit suburb two touchdowns to the good in the second quarter. Central got one touchdown back after the half when Park plunged over. Shortly afterward, Bridge again connected with Veronckt on a pass play to clinch the game for Grosse Fointe. Central succeeded in scoring a second touchdown before the game ended when a plunge by Tark found a hole in the Tointe line.

He is just as busy on the gridiron as he is in everyday life, as Coach Fowler relies on him to kickoff, punt, back up the line, plunge, call the signals and generally be the all-around man of the squad. Despite a schedule that Is figured down to the minute so that no conflicts will occur, Johnson is a student, has never been late to work, school or practice, and doesn't kick because every minute is taken. But ever since he read a sport story which told about the "free rides" some high school football stars were given when they went to college, he has been pestering Coach Fowler to show him how to hop on that trolley car.

Fowler agrees that he deserves some kind of a ride. Assumption Beats St Marys 19 to 0 Uses Every Type of Scoring to Win PONTIAC, Oct. 10 Taking advantage of a big advantage in weight, Assumption College eleven defeated St. Mary's College, 19 to 0, at Orchard Lake today in the first Michigan-Ontario Collegiate Conference game of the year for both teams. Assumption chalked up one of the football oddities of the season by scoring in every way possible under football rules.

The Canadians started their scoring in the second period when George Blake crashed over for a touchdown from the 12-yard line. Later in the period the visitors chalked up a safety when Stanley Bloch, St. Mary's back, fell on the ball in the end zone after a bad pass from center. In the third period Assumption got another touchdown when Leo N'euman, fullback, caught a partially blocked punt and ran 30 to Open Field Toilers Play in Home Inaugural Next Detroit Tech's football team will have a lot of old scores So settle next Saturday afternoon when it opens its home season by meeting Defiance College at the new Robin son Field. The Toilers have been more or less of a "soft spot" on the sched ule.

in the eyes of most of the Ohio college teams. A game with Detroit Tech has been a place to give the reserve a chance to play so far as most of these schools are concerned. Defiance, like all the rest of the teams, has looked at Tech in the same manner. Shields Has Big Squad But all that appears to be in the past. Defiance beat Tech, 26 to 0, last year but that Defiance team will find things a lot different at Tech when the game starts Saturday.

In the first place the Toilers will be playing on a new field, one of the best gridirons in Metropolitan Detroit. Then Defiance will see a Tech squad of 40 odd players, which is nearly twice as many as weree on the team which lost to the Ohioans last year. The main difference, however, will be in the players themselves. Coach Hal Shields will present a squad which has players three deep for every position. And there isn't much to pick among any three candidates for any position.

True, the squad is composed mostly of freshmen since Detroit Tech has no freshmen ruling. But these freshmen had a. lot of gridiron potentialities. They dropped their opening game to Akron University, 33 to 0, but they came back strong to down St. Mary's, 26 to 0.

Many Trep Starn It will be the first chance De-troitcrs will have to see Shield's team of former All-City and All-State high school players in a college game. And there are plenty of former All-State stars present, including Henry Kuznia, a guard; Harry Lutomski, fullback, and Sam Evanoff, a tackle from Erie, Pa. The All-City men on the squad are Harry Demesko, halfback; Iggy Pupka, guard; Alex Kovachevich, Joe Krzyzostan and Bob Cade, ends; Casimlr Lopata, an end who has been shifted to halfback, and Hank Tobiczyk, a tackle who has been placed at quarterback because of his blocking. Robinson Field can seat approximately 10,000 spectators when seats are placed around the entire field. It is located on West Warren Ave.

Then Johnson, who is not a communicative sort of gridder, unburdened himself to It seems that Johnson's trouble is that he loves football but also has to work, study and walk to and from work, He Becomes Indignant When Fowler told him he wasn't so busy, Johnson became quite indignant.

F.V--Although a wiry southpaw passer, Sophomore Teter Nistad, kept Virginia on even terms with Navy through most of their game today, superior Sailor power finally prevailed and the Midshipmen won, 35 to 14, before 16,000 fans.

As long as Navy's reserve forces were in the battle it was a tussle but when the Sailor varsity rushed in the odds were too much for the Cavaliers. Sneed Schmidt, halfback, who was Navy's ranking star a year ago, struck his stride, rushing the ends well, combing through the forewall, playing excellent defensive ball and scoring three of the Tars' five touchdowns. Bill Ingram, son of the old Navy ace, Jonas Ingram, again picked up the Middies' attack by leading them to their first touchdown after a scoreless opening frame.

Gray, wind-blown skies and rough water combined to keep ducks in the air, making the opening day of the 19.16 waterfowl season one of the most successful in years. Despite the most stringent regulations in the.

history of wildfowl-ing, there seemed to be more gunners on the opening day than in recent years. As if to keep pace with the hunters, there were about 25 per cent more ducks on Lake St. Clair than last year at this time. According to Dan Janzen. regional director for the United States Bureau of Biological Survey, who spent the entire (lay on Lake St.

Clair, there were great rafts of redhead ducks within the canctutiry area. There wore fewer ranvasbacks, with goodly numbers of mallards, blacks, pintails and widgeon. Few hunters succeeded in bagging teal, since most of these small fast-flying ducks seem already to have gone south. It is estimated that some 2,000 gunners opened thei season on the St. Clair Flats and marshes.

Temporary blind sites were pretty well taken. Oscar S. Decker, Who manages Hoffman's Landing, reported between 400 and f00 hunters left his docks this morning. The early hunting was especinlly favorable for sneak boats and layouts, but fewer of these outfits were seen thhn conditions warranted. Hunters were fairly well distributed throughout the flats with perhaps the bulk along the Snybora Channel.

Of the 68 boys on the Cosmo eligibility list this fall, 45 were born and brought up in Hamtramck, which is a pretty good average for any high school team. In direct contrast, the boys on the Northeastern football eligibility list were born in 12 different states of the Union and two foreign countries. Twenty-three of the Hamtramck players are 18 or 19 year old. Twenty years of age is the eligibility limit for Michigan high school athletes.
