SPORTS. for Field General IDIRECTOR, NOT A RUNNER, " OF PLAYS CRIMSON 'NEED Flashy Podger and Speedster Not Wanted at Helm. Coburn and Lee Likely Prospeets for Important Quarterback Position.

These are rathe severe, afid, as compared to the work of the quarter on othe elevens, novel. What Harvard desires is a field general, pure and simple. A brilliant runner is placed in the backfield at Cambridge, because a flashy dodge and speedster is not wanted at the helm of Crimson elevens. The Ha dian theory is that the gifted ball carrier when holdi down tl pilot's ‘position is too prone to give himsclf the ball. The coaches u there do not want this.

This probably s the first time such a contest has been attempted in connection with a gridiron con- test, and its result will be watched with considerable interest. The game will Dbe between fifty picked men from the sophomore class and fifty from the freshman, and the ball with which it Is to be played is six feet in dlumeter and heavy enough to knock an ordinary man who gets In its path head over heels. Director of Athletdes Charley Moran for the first time in his life seems optimistic over an outlook for an athletic team. That means some- thing for Catholic University foot ball.” Any time Charley admits that things look bright one may be—sure they really are bright. Just listen to the way he talks of the prospects of ‘the gridiron team which wears the colors of the Brooklanders and vhich opens its season Saturday with Randolph Macon: We are zoing to win some foot ball games this fall. Not only that. but we are, g to have a good team. A litele R.in reserve strength, but a ¥oad ‘team, nevertheless, the fikst place, Coach Gormley has been working the squad hard. and for the first time {u vears C.

He weighs 260 pounds and is said to be able to han- dle his weight exceptionally well. Dafley, a 34 Army Corps guard, had his ankle seriously injured yves: terday in a serimmage with the Uni- versity of Maryland at College Park. It had not been determined whether the bone was broken, but the big fel- low probably will be out of the game for some time, even if there is no fracture. . Thk# Maryvlanders and 3d Army Corps mixed it up for three- quarters of an hour, both squads get- ting much benefit from the strenuous workout. Gallaudet and George Washington squads e to get thelr final hard workouts this afternoon in prepara- tion for engagements Saturday. The former is to open its season in a £ame with Western Maryland at Ken- dall_Green, while George Washing- ton has a date with Junlata College at Huntington, Pa. Coach Hughes has been bringing his Kendall Green veterans to top form gradually and has his squad in good condition, but it will have to play high-class foot ball to make @ respectable showin, against the strong Westminster ag- zregation. Little is known of the caliber of the Juniata team to be met by the Hatehetites, but thg latter are niuch better prepared for the game than they were for their earlier bat- tles. Wiggy King, flanker. supposedly lost to the Georgetown eleven this segson because of an injured knee, is likely to return to the game as a center when the Hilltoppers face the Tigers at Princeton Saturday. This position has been bothering FHead Coach Maloney since practice started. Golgen and Minihan have been tried, but the former's passing has not been steady and the latter has not enough weight to withstand a hard game. King was a brilllant center at Law- rence, Mass., High School and Ma- loney believes he can be used to ad- vantage again as a pivot player.

CRUICKSHANK LEADS IN GOLF EVENT TEST MEMPHI nn., October 11.—Indi cations when the one hundred players from all over the country started the second qualifying round of eighteen I holes over the Colonial Country Club course today in the western open golf championship were that the highest qualifying score probably would be aroung 155 or 160. “Wee Bobby” Cruickshank of West- field, N. J., was out in front at the beginning of today's play. having turned in a 69 for the eighteen holes vesterday. Bobby played a4 good game . mixing a series of birdies and eagles with par scores. Cruick- shank's card was two under par and two above the course record, held by Leo Diegel of Washington Harry Hampton of Detroit. the Canadian champion, who proved the ensation of the practice play Monday nd Tuesday, played - medium golf yesterday, turning in a card of 76. Wilfred Heid of Detroit went around in_par 71, while Diegel was one over. Walter Hagen, Joe Kirkwood, John Black, R. G.

Had this eleven been lable to note the change made in de- fense in this case it could probably have varied its passing just enough to make it continue successful So beyond comprehension is the forward pass that one year when a certaid team, Washington and Jef- ferson, journeved to New-Haven to meet Yale with a splendid passing play, Walter Camp was of the opinion that the best way for Yale to solve this play was for Yale to try it on W. & J. to see how ‘the latter broke it up. One season coaches took two t. One would plan a passing attack for a week, the other trying to solve it’ When that was done they would switch around and the coach who had solved a defense for the pass would start at this point and work up a new passing attack. They told me that at the end of the month they had arrived at but three principles of defense which could be counted on in ergency and that the: i seen West Virginia two * Radiators and Fenders ANY KIND MADE OR REPAIRED. 10 DIFFERENT MAKES RADIATORS WITTSTATT'S R. and F.
