SPORTS. George Washington Has Best Foot Ball Outlo | ANOTHER TEXAS DUO EIGHT REGULARS OF LAST YEAR’S TEAM TO RETURN Coach Crum Has One field Positions to Fill, Tackle and Two Back- But Strong Eleven Is Needed as Schedule Is Difficult. BY H. C. BYRD. E the university been so well sit returning, and, with this in mind, C istic over the outlook. The fatali IGHT regulars from last year’s cleven will be on hand when George Washington gets out its gridiron squad for its first practice on Scptember 8. Probably never before in its foot ball history has vated in regard to the number of men ach Harry W. Crum is far from pessi- - list in Hatchetite squads generally is very high, and the different situation that will present itself next week is just as pleasing as unusual. If & ach Crum can develop from his substitutes of a year ago and from his incoming freshmen a man to play tackle and also two backs he will have much of his job done, as the other places already are well taken care Allshouse and Groton, are due back. Athey and guards, have sent word that they will be out for the team day of pract {ayman, tac ion. The tv the opening it | down his pos be in_ uniform and the former haifback. George Washington always has hig entering classes, and among them nearly every year are found a good many men who have had foot ball experience. It will not be unexpected, then, if Coach Crum fllls his three gaps very acceptably and turns out one of the best elevens the downtown school has ever had. Strong Eleven Needed. Tneldentally, the Hatchetites will have to develop a much stronger eleven than they have had in any recent year if they expect to make the right kind of a showing through out the schedule they are to play. Coach Crum last year, when he began to arrange the list of contests, did not hesitate to take on several diffi- cult games. He felt that, if anvthing really worth while were to be accom- plished, it must be accomplished through playing strong teams. The Hatchetites open at home on October 2 with a game with City Col- Jege of New York, and after that play several teams that are likely to be exceptionally strong. Games _ are scheduled with Bucknell and Penn State, and no school that desired an easy list of contests would pick either of those for a soft spot. A feature of the schedule will be a game on December 4, with De Paul University of Chicago, at Chicago. The entire schedule follows: October 2—City College of New York at Washington. » October 9—Bucknell at Lewisburg, Pa. October 16—Blue Ridge at Wash- ington. October 23—William and Mary at Williamsburg, Va. October 30—Penn State at State College, Pa._ g November' 6—Ursinus at Washing- ton. November 13—Randolph-Macon at ‘Washington. November 25—Catholic TUniversity at_Brookland. December 4—De. Paul University at Chicago. Coach Crum pzebably would, from & personal point of view, rather make a good showing at Penn State than anywhere else, as he formerly played foot ball at that school. However, the ione game of fhe.list to which. all Hatchetites will look forward is that with Catholic_University on Thanks- giving day. Last Fall C. JI. took a neat fall out of the Buff and Blue _end that has not kept a_very pleas- ant taste in George Washington's mouth for the current year. That is one game in which George Washing- ton hopes to turn the tables, if it wins no other. Freshmen Rule in 19 This Fall freshmen are to be used on the varsity squad, but the first vear rule is to be adopted and put into effect at the beginning of the follow- ing year. In 1927 the Hatchetite gridiron squad will have in its mem- bership no first year men. In order to get ready for this change Coach Crum plans to get together a fresh- man eleven this ¥all and play four or five games. . A system of compulsory physical education is to .be put into effect when school opens Septembep 28, and every freshman will have to report to the gymnasium for certain periods of training. In colleges this training is commeonly called “physical torture” and students had rather do almost anything else. At G. W. they are to be given the option of taking the “physical torture” or reporting for some varsity team. Undoubtedly this arrangement will considerably aug- ment the numbers out to represent the university In Intercollegiate sports. Train at College Park. Arrangements have been made for the squad to train at the University of Maryland. Last Fall the Hatchet- ites trained at College Park, and attributed no small part of their suc- cess during the season to the excel- lent opportunities they had to get to- gether in early workouts. At best the job of turning out a| good foot ball team at George Wash- ington is difficult, and Crum deserves a good deal of credit for the progress he made since taking up the relns as athletic director and head coach. That his prospects this TFall seem very good is a further tribute 10 his hard work and effort in hold- ing together his squad. No person in- terested in foot ball and its develop- ment will do anything other than hope for the Hatchetite mentor con- tinued success.

OOSTERBAAN SOUGHT FOR PRO FOOT BALL By the Ascociated Press. MUSKEGON, Mich., August 31.— Bennje Oosterbaan, University of Michigan end, who was rated all- American by many authorities last Fall, today made public a letter signed “Bob Folwell, chairman of the com mittee on players” asking him if he cared to join the Philadelphia team of the American Professional Foot Ball League. “Kindly advise by return mall or telegram,” the letter said in part, “If you care to play on our team. If so, state when and where we can have a conference.” Oosterbaan sald he made the letter public because of his understanding that rules of the Professional League bar invitations to players still in college. “I haven't the Slightest idea. of turn- ing pro.” he said. “I am just a junior at Michigan and am hoping to make the team there this Fall.

WASHINGTON, D GRIDIRON LEADERS of 1926 Interesting Facts About Foot Ball Coaches and Captains of Big College Elevens for This Season No. 4—Stanford CAPTAIN. ST;\NFORD UNIVERSITY, located at Palo Alto, has a local boy for its leader this season, John Swan, guard, being the one accorded that honor. He received his early training, how- ever, in the Berkeley, Calif., High School, where he earned a great reputation as a defensive lineman. Swan more than lived up to his reputation and has been a big factor in the very successful years that his alma mater has had recently. Many experts on the West- era Coast gave him prominent mention in the selection of the all-Pacific Coast teams, and this year he bids fair to step out for national honors.

Answer—The Water-Cure Process is a new method of curing or vulcanizing auto- mobile tubes now in use in the United States Rubber Company tube factories. Question—How does it differ from the old process? Answer—During vulcanization heat and pressure must be applied to the tube. The old method used steam to supply this pressure and heat. The new method uses water-under high pressure and at steam temperature. Question—Why does this make a better tube? Answer—In the old steam method the pres- sure could not be applied evenly. Small air bubbles were formed in the tube, each of which became a source of weakness. The new Water-Cure Process eliminates the possibility of such bubbles by its heavy, even pressure. It also insures better union between the tube and the valve-base, and at the same time gives the rubber itself a finer, longer-wearing, more age-resisting texture. UNITED' STATES ¥ ROYAL . BALLOON 5 o opER »*0 United States Water-Cured Tubes Question—Can water-curing alone make a good tube? Answer—No. A good tube demands good rubber, proper construction and proper splicing as well. Question—How are these provided in United States Tubes? Answer—The rubber used is Sprayed Rubber, the purest and most uniform rubber known. It is made from rubber latex from the United _States Rubber Company’s own plantations, by a process developed and patented by the Company. United States Tubes are constructed of Jfour plies of rubber. Most other tubes are made of one or at most two. Splicing is done by a specially develop- ed method, which not only assures uni- formly strong splices but also limits the pressure and heat to the splice itself and does not tend to weaken the rest of the tube.
