EW YORK, Octber 30.—National championship aspirations of power- ful elevens were magnets for great crowds in the East today. Speculators asked $20 and up for a ticket to the game at New Haven between undefeated Army and Yale, All of the 73,000 seats were sold. There were indications of a capacity throng of 55000 at the Polo Grounds for the Cornell-Columbia struggle. There was a heavy demand for tickets for the Lafayette-Washington and Jefferson clash at Philadelphia. Powerful Michigan was at Baltimore to play a Navy eleven seeking revenge for an overwhetming defeat Forecasts found critics divided on the Yale-Army, Washington and Jef. ferson-Lafayette games, while Brown was favored over Dartmouth, Mich- jgan over Navy, Cornell over Colum- bla, New York University over Ford- ham, Princeton over Swarthmore, Harvard over Tufts, Colfite over Michigan State and Syracuse over Johns Hopkins. Yale's stock dropped slightly, as announcement came that Guy Rich- ards would not be started at tackle. Noble and Kline, backfield stars, were not available, either. Hopes of the Navy wilted slightly with word that Shapley, star back, would not be in the starting line-up. 0dds on Brown mounted to 5 to 3 because of injuries to Dartmouth tars. Navy Is Hopefol. BALTIMORE, Md., October 30 (®) Michigan’s undefeated eleven, after a 17-hour raflway journey from Ann Arbor, was primed today to attempt @ repetition of last year's Navy de- Vacle, when the Wolverines swamped the Tars under a 64-0 score. Navy, with its record so far this wear unmarred by defeat, was pre- pared to defend its position with the team and much of the strategy that will be thrown into the Army-Navy classic at Chicago on November 27.

U. cross- country championship run to be held here Armistice day under the auspices of the Sesquicentennial International Exposition and the College of Osteop- athy will probably set a new record for attendance figures at the finish. Instead of having this national champlonship finish in Fairmount Park, as all cross-country runs usu- ally do in Philadelphla, it is the plan of Dr. M. Francols D'Eliscu and Law- son Robertson, the directors of the race, to have the finish in the Ses- quicéntennial Stadium. There is an_international foot ball game scheduled for the stadium Armistice day_between the Quantico Marines and Temple University. It is so planned that the cross-country run will be completed during the in- termission, between the second and third periods of the foot ball game. With this In_view D'Eliscu and Robertson have been busy this week seeking a _course, starting in_Fair- mount Park and ending in the Sesqui Stadium. Final decision of the course will be made some time next week and plans sent to all the clubs and colleges in the race. Invitations have been sent to near- Iy 100 clubs, colleges and universities. The University of Pennsylvania has declded to eriter its entire cross-coun- try squad, so it is very likely that the college entries will equal those of the clubs in the East. FROSH GAMES ARE CLOSE.

By the Assoclated Press. the French Army. pulsory service in the French The decrees, which French sport writers consider fatal to the nation’s Olymple chances, provide for the can- cellation of all permits and furloughs for soldiers to participate in sporting and athletlc competitions after May 16, 1927. The famous Jolnvielle Mili- tary Tratning School, from which the best French athletes have been drawn since the armistice, also will be elimi- nated. Army corps championships will be done away with and there will be a general decrease in physical tnstruction. At the ministry of war, the Assocl- ated Press was informed that athletes of international caliber would be granted permission to compete in games having an internatlonal status, but that national and regional cham- plonships would be taboo in the army because they result in the loss of too much time on the part of soldiers from their military duties. Forty sporting writers held a stormy meeting at the ministry of war in an effort to have the decrees revoked. They gave as one argument that before an athlete can attain in- ternational . caliber, he must first ob- tain regional and then national stand- g. Gaston Vidal, former undersecre- tary of state for physical education and sports, told Minister of War Pain- leve that the decrees spelled the doom of athletics in France. The army, he said, has always been the best recruiting office for the athletic fed- M. al also brought out the fact that Rene Lacoste was twice re- fused permission by the military au- thorities to go to the United States in the Cup pionships. Only the personal inter- vention of M. Briand, who was then | premier, mollified the army autho | ties, who at length gave Lacoste his leave. “Don't you think Lacoste render- ed better service to the cause of France by winning the American tennis championship than by driving a truck in the service of supplies of the French army?” Vidal asked.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.,, October 30 (P).—Speed Martin, hurler for the Sacramento Pacific Coast League Club, captured the Professional Base Ball Players’ Association golf cham- pionship here, when Arnold Statz, last year's winner, miscued a 2-foot putt on the final green and sank Martin's ball, which had been left on the lip of the cup. Visual Foot Ball BY SOL METZGER. Expert ends not only break up the interference sent at them but also tackle the runner. That's so when they employ the driving-in system, rather than the waiting. The theory of stopping an end vith this defense is shown in The end rushes the line of scrimmage two ht ahead and in at a right angle to meet ) farthest back in the inter- ference. That enables him to turn the runner in on tackle, even if he fails to do all he sets out to do on this play (Fig. 1). The end hits this rear back low, spilling him over his shoulder as he keeps on worming forward. He keeps his face up so he can see the runner and thus direct his charge at him. It is to be remem- bered that the end will not strike the interferer on his left in the il- lustration. But on an end run this interferer is out to get the end, so he will get into the collision just the same. That's why this other inter- ferer is knocked down, too (Fig. 2). By driving on ahead the end will be able to tackle the runner should he try to continue around the end instead of turning in on tackle, BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, October 30.—Country-wide interest attended the feat of the Brown Universit ame with Yale—which eleven in playing through the entire rown won—with 11 men. It was a feat. ut it proved nothing—except that the Brown players were lucky. It does not prove that the modern game is easier on the material than the old game. true. Such a thing could not be proved, because it is not The demands which foot ball of today make upon the men who play it are infinitely greater than at any time before the sport was remodelet{'in the Winter of 1905. Any one who knows anything about the game will not debate the asser- tion that the ends today have a much greater burden 'to carry both on at- tack and defense than the wingmen who played In the old-time game. They have the forward pass to check on defense and are important factors in the aerial attack. All this in addl- tion to the duties which they have always had to perform. As for the tackles, they are meet- ing today an attack of versatility and lancing drive which the tackles of an older day knew nothing about. There was a time when they could get their heads down and burrow into the at- tack, but they cannot do this today. “Heads up” is their slogan, and the forward pass and the hidden-ball at- tack, unknown before 1915, combined with multiform duties, make them busy young men while a foot ball game is on. Guards are no longer stationary. They leave their places and weave themselves into the interference, in which they are very Important cogs. And the duties of the backs have also In the former times with mass play and pushing and pulling, ball carriers were padded by human bodies and so were interferers. Today the head-on impact of two men starting from a distance 10 yards apart is one of the regular incidents in a game. No man in the golden 90s or early 1900s was ever subjected to the risk which the man meets to- day whose arms are raised aloft to catch a forward pass and who is thus helpless to brace himself against the jarring tackles that come to him. And so, to get back to Brown, it was a miracle that she should hxve been able to finish out the game with the men who appeared in the initial line-up; one of those miracles that Brown will probably not experience again In a long time. As a matter of record, the Prince- ton 1921 eleven went through the Harvard without a substitution and won the contest 10 to 3. But the Tigers paid dearly for this feat of en- durance next week against Yale, when one by one the Nassau stars, led by the great Keck, limped—or increased not only in variety but in | were carried— to the sidelines, out for strenuousness. the day. Yale won 13 to 7. P The Chening Star BOYS CLUB BY CHARLES BASSETT, (Coach of Flint, Mich.. High School Team.) HE forward pass is to foot ball what the home run is to base ball To throw the forward pass the player must have a good arm, master the knack of holding it and give long and earnest practice to its perfection. There are four ways of throwing a forward pass: 1—The grip pass: The ball should be held between the thumb and the fingers—either thumb on lacing or fingers on lacing. Getting the proper srip on the ball should be by touch FINGERS ON LACING EITHER I~ ETHER . THUMB ON LACING alone. It fsn’t necessary to look at the ball. The passer who has to look at the ball is telling his opponents he Is going to pass. The hand should be placed on the back half of the ball with the fingers well spread. The ball is thrown over the shoulder with an overhand snap throw. As the ball leaves the hand the fingers “rip” under- neath, giving the ball the spiral mo- tion. Be sure to follow through for curacy. On short passes the ball should be thrown with a small arch, with very little spin, making the bali light an® fluffy and easy to catch. On long passes the ball should be thrown hard and fast and as nearly parallel to the ground as possible. 2—The flathand or non-grip pass: This Is the best pass for small hands and wet weather. The ball is lald upon the palm of the hand and the fingers on the laces. It is thrown overhand in the same way as the srip pass. Next Coach Bassett will tell you about the other two passes—the under- hand pass and the basket ball pass. If you want to be a foot ball hero vou must learn the forward pass. (Copyright. 1920.) WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER REAKING the tie in the dying minutes of the game which had held since the opening of the second period, the crack stick wielders from the Mount Washington Field Hockey Club of Baltimore scored a 2-to-1 victory over the Washington Field Hockey eleven yesterday on the Ellipse field. Taking into account the fact that the Oriole squad is considered the fastest in the intercity series and that Washington is playing for the first season in this class of competition, the performance of the local squad was more than creditable. The local players were In no sense outclassed. Mount Washington had the edge on them in teamwork, perhaps, for they have developed a brand of team play which comes only after long experi- ence as a group, but the Capitalites displayed individual skill and versa- tility which should carry them far in the race for sectional honors. Mount Washington scored first when Mary Winand, left inner, drove the ball between the posts, shortly be- fore the close of the first half. Play was tense during the second period, after Alice Nicoll, local half, had tied up the score with a beautiful drive from the circle's edge. Desper- ate efforts were made to score on the part of both teams. The work of Vir- ginia Hopkins, Washington goal- keeper, was the outstanding feature of the local defense, coupled with Kath- erine Whitfield’s effective stickwork in the backfield. Baltimore contrived to break through for the winning goal in an exciting last-minute attack. Katherine Willis, captain, was respon- sible for the all-important tally. Line-Up and Summary. . Mt.

N HUDKINS’ POUNDAGE HELPS BEAT MW'GRAW | BY FAIR PLAY. NEW YORK, October 30.—Phfi Mc- Graw tried hard to bring home the bacon Friday night, but the ferocious rushes and‘ uncanny ability of Ace Hudkins to assimilate punches proved too much for him. Ace was warned time and time again to keep his punches up and for a time it looked as if Referee Patsy Haley would have to give the fight to the demon Greek florist from Detroit. Hudkins showed up in his true colors. His stunt of masquerading as a lightweight has been shown up and he will have to fight as a junior welterweight hereafter. He out- weighed McGraw seven pounds and at times the extra strength of that seven pounds stood him in good stead. McGraw fights too hard and fast and takes too much punishment to have a punch. The blows he gets robs him of his strength and makes him an easy man to stand up under. In the early part of the bout he carried the fight to the slow-starting Hudkins, and if Phil had anything behind his punches he would surely have scored a knock-down, if not a knockout. But McGraw was too spent when it came to put over a fin- ishing blow. That tells the story of the fight. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT. By the Associated Press.

Today was working day for grid- sters of the Southern Conference, and the four-game lead of Alabama’s Crim- son was threatened by 16 contenders, meeting in the sixth renewal of the 1926 Southern champlonship pigskin scramble. Alabama took {its unsullled record into battle with Louislana State Uni- versity, which based its hopes for a victory on attempts to stem the over- head attack of Coach Wade's tide. Tennessee, Virginia Poly and the University of Mississippi, runners-up to Alabama, with no conference de- feats, also went into combat with con- ference opponents. Tennessee met the Mississippl Ag- gles at Starkville, Virginia Poly en- countered Kentucky’s strong aggrega- tion on Blue Grass territory and the Mississippians carried their onslaught on Tulane’s Green wave into enemy territory in New Orleans. Sewanee, which last week held Ala- bama to a 2-to-0 score, was a slight favorite to win from Auburn at Mont- gomery. The Sewanee huskies went into battle with a 10-pound advantage over the Alabama Poly outfit. Georgia and Florida came together in Athens, Ga., in the annual classlc for these two teams; North Carolina and North Carolina State met at Chapel Hill in their yearly clash and South Carolina was host to Virginia in the only other conference contest of the day. Georgla Tech took Southern Confer- ence colors into intersectional combat with Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind., with Coach Rockne’'s warriors favored to humble the Golden Tornado. Virginia Military Institute, Mary- land and Vanderbilt had non-confer- ence games scheduled, with the Vir- ginlans meeting Davidson at Lexing- ton, Maryland entertaining Gallaudet and the Commodores taking on South- western Presbyterian University In Nashville. Clemson, following its futile attempt to stop Wofford Thursday, remained idle today, and South Carolina’s prac- tice for the Virginia game today was obtained in a 12-to-9 defeat Thursday at the hands of the Citadel ‘Washington and Lee's warriore rest- ed today after their setback las week by Georgla Tech. PENN AND GEORGIA TECH TO TEST MIDWEST TEAMS Quakers Invading Illinois Stadium, While Golden Tornado Is at Notre Dame—Clash at Urbana Is Called Even—Hoosiers Are Favorites, By the Associated Press. HITAGO, October 30—The Middle West’s own foot ball differences were_overshadowed today by conflicts of national significance. Invasions by Pennsylvania and Georgia Tech led the list of intersectionals at home, while Michigan and Missouri were in the van of campaigning on Eastern fields. Six games involved teams in major conference battling, but of these one or two were of any great importance in solving the 1926 Big Ten onl; andy Missouri Valley riddles. National interest chiefly centered in the fortunes of Michigan at Navy and Notre Dame against the Georgians. 6. U. ELEVEN OFFERS ONLY HOME BATTL Georgetown had the foot ball fleld to itself here this afternoon in a game with Lebanon Valley that promises to be well worth watching. The Pennsylvanians have shown un- usual power in their games thus far, and while the Hilltoppers should win, they hardly will have a walkover. The contest was carded for 2:30 o'clock. Just how the Blue and Gray leaders felt about the contest s told {n the fact that they intended to start their regular eam. A facor that may tend to make the battle fairly even is that Georgetown has been looking ahead to its clash with Syracuse next Saturday, while Lebanon Valley has been pointing es- pecially for the Hilltoppers. This often makes a big difference. Maryland was to play its game with Gallaudet this morning, while the Marines are away to meet Providence Qollege, and Catholic University is at New Orleans to tune up for a clash tomorrow with Loyola University of that city. WESTERN NOW FAVORED TO ANNEX SCHOOL TITLE OLLOWING the battle of Central and Tech to a scoreless tie in their annual clash yesterday in the high school championship series, Western looms as the most formidable contender for the title. The boys from across the creek have won over Business and tied Tech in their two starts, and appear to have the edge on the two teams they have yet to meet—Eastern and Central. The Central-Tech game was a rather drab affair in comparison with the live tilts that often have marked the annual gridiron meetings of these dearest of foes, and there was little to choose between them. The first real dash and fire of the conflict did not come until within a few minutes of the final whistle, when both elevens exhibited a real punch. Ritter whipped a long forward pass to Mullen that put the oval on Cen- tral’s 18-yard line. After three rushes had pushed the ball to the 10-yard mark, Ritter tried a fleld goal. The boot had direction but not height. Immediately Central lashed out with a savage attack, and on a forward pass from Simmons to Frank Black- istone and a 30-yard run by the latter the Mount Pleasant warriors brought the ball to Tech’s 85-yard strip. Sim- mons shot a long forward pass which Ritter intercepted on the Manual Trainers’ 2-yard line as the game ended. Perhaps the most conspicuous indl- vidual work was the splendid punting of Kriemelmeyer for Tech, who also 7ot in some smart tackles. Capt. Frank Blackistone, for Central, also booted in good style and played a bang-up defensiye game. Line-up and Summary. Ross .—Florence Cas- Tech—F Jor sassa. Mullen for. 8.
