Both Bucknell and Georgetown are likely to have excep- tionally strong teams this year. Maryland plays at Virginia that day and Catholic University makes a trip to_Fort Bennings, Ga. Marines make their first appear- ance here at Catholic University on October 31, while Maryland goes to Daltimore to meet North Carolina University in a Southern Conference struggle.

Coach Lou Little is not letting any grass zrow under his feet in getting his men down to good hard work. Real tackling and blocking and charging is going on and within the next two or three days, it is said, Little plans to have his squad divided into teams and do some scrimmaging. Georgetown opens its season a week earlier this vear than last, and, while Little knows he will encounter very_little opposition in Drexel, he intends to take no chances in plac- ing on the field a team that will be lined up to put forth a worthy effort both physically and mentally. Down at Quantico the Marines have begun plugging away with what Is said to be material that any college coach would envy. But even 8o, Coach Jim Keady does not have any too easy a task in front of him. In fact, Keady’s job is just about as dimcult as anybody would care -to have| Not that he does not have plenty of good material, but he must replace some of the best material that was ever lost to a foot ball team. Men like Goettge and Rykeman are not picked up every day, and others are gone whose positions will not Le easy to fill. Then again, the Ma- rines have made a wonderful record on gridirons in the South, North and Middle West within the last three yr .rs,-and the hardest kind of coach- joo for a man to fill'is one that fol- Jows hard on a remarkable series of successes. By the first of another week all lo- cal squads will be hard at practice.

Head Coach Little is’ taking care of the linemen, assisted by Fred Sheehan, last year's captain. Kopf has taken up his work of instructing the ends, while Mike Palm is in charge of t backfield material, aided by Eddle Brooks, stagpunter of the 1924 team. Coaches ttle and Sheehan gave the linemen practice in charging, while Kopf gave the ends plenty of work on how to handle forward passes. Coaches Palm and Brooks had the backfield men kicking and receiving punts. In the laster part of the practice A 15-minute scrimmage was held, which impressed the coaches favor- ably. Neither team was able to score, The main squad chosen for> the initial workout consisted of McGrath and Moroney, ‘ends; Mosko and ‘Wither, tackles; Murtaugh and Busch, guards; Maistrosky, center; Gormley, quarterback: Capt. Hagerty and Flavin, halfbagks, and’ Waite, full- back. v The other squad was made up of Joyee and O'Nell, ends; Connaughton and Comstock, tackles; Jaewish and Carroll, guards; Tomaini, center; Avery, quarterback; Stockton and Scott, halfbacks, and Bruce, fullback. The showing of Murtaugh and Mc: Grath in the line and Flavin and ‘Waite in the backfield stood out. The play of Connaugjton and Bruce also was of unusually high caliber.

Last year 1 read some articles written by a foot ball scout, in which he observed the same tendency. He deplored and denounced these changes. I do not. A good curriculum for a school of savages would have included bow and arrow marksmanship and plain and fancy skull cracking; in the last century, when purely academic learning was quoted above par, the “humanities,” which my friend the scout worries so much about, were good business; in these high-pressure the world rewards and youth wants money and success. Isn't it the business of an educator to equip vouth to survive and succeed in his environment as it. is, rather than it ought to be? 1 maintain~ that the high-geared, competitive system of intercollegiate athletics, with all its derivatives of high finance, is more effective in pre- paring boys for life as they will find it than any system which places the emphasis on the cultural rather than the practical. Faculty Objectors. 1 can anticipate cries of rage and pain from at least three venerable deans—men whom I admire and re- spect—who have been ralsing an out- cry against all this “gross commer- clalism” in college athletics.

They want moic - DIE luccusioe o nourish big colleges, but they oppose any frank organization of college training which recognizes the im- portance of what they seek. 1 remember. one of George Ade's fables of about 20 years ago.
