BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN need have little fear of Syracuse in its first big game Saturday, in th opinion of Ray Van Orman, Johns Hopkins foot ball coach, whose team played the New Yorkers Jast week. The Blue and Gray not only will win the contest, if it measurés up to what its strength seems to be, but will win by Jeave no doubt about its superio unless the Hopkins coach is wi in his estimate of the comparative strength of the two elevens. “Syracuse has a fine gays Van Orman, “b ceedingly weak.

West Virginia seems to be way below its standard, if the 40 to 0 score made against it by Pittsburgh js any criterion, and in the big home- coming here the defeat of last vear at the hands of West Virginia ought to be avenged. As things stand now, it seems that Georzetown has a good chance to go through ite season with the loss of only one game. No doubt the Blue and Gray will put up a strenucus battle_for that also, but from this date Lafayette looms as about the only one of the Blue and Gray's opponents strong enough to have the margin over it. orgetown run miss my the, ¢ ght to work well, acuse that would that Georgetown xcept the pumber t will win./ that with due putting up afford to lay inst an it that| re. its gridders who show Catholic _Universits elone of the local group wil' their wares here this Saturday are prepping energetically ~though not a margin big enough to| backfield,” | s line is ex- | | This Playing its | He weighs around 2 Colleze of Brooklyn, in the dium.

He bowls over the Old Liners as if they were paper figures stood in his way, and he probably will bowl over other college players just as easily. If Wigmore were playing at Yale, Harvard or any school of that size, where he would draw attention of Northern critics, he unquestionably would be given a job on any all- America eleven picked. Incidentally, Marines have in their backfield two running backs about as good as are found behind any line. ‘These are Shapley, star back the last three years for Navy, and Levy, who never played college foot ball, but | who would be good enough to play on any eleven that ever represented any school. Levy not only is very fast but he s able to do something that few fast men can do well—dodge and sway through a broken fleld. Most really fast men in foot ball are straightaway runners and the dodging clever ground-gainer usually is not fast. Not so with Levy, because he has with real speed the ability to dodge and squirm his way brilliantly strenoutly for their clash with 8t WOMEN 1 through a broken field.

It was a low-up r1achine from the outset, and it showed little of that merciless de- ferise Which 8o completely threw the Palo Altans back upon themselves the previous Saturday. And, 2s 'n the Stanford ganie, St. Mary's showed an unconvincing at- tack, &0 against the Bears the team had no weapons qualified to drive the Berkeley team back of its goal line.

The Ilears used their old favorite 13 4 line-up, with plays launched | rule from ki formation. From hacks started well and the interference formed compactly and with precision. At other times the quarter would play under the center, faking to handle fhe ball and then starting in motion before the ball was snapped. In striking territory the Bears wonld put their two tackles on the strong side, with a winning back out. There was a nice mixing of forma- tions ahd of plays, and the forward pass, always beautifully thrown and caught, wouid develop in various wa.

Has Giant Gridmen One of the strongest impressions| the writec received on the lower West Coast was the man power in foot ball at the Uaiversity of Southern Cali fornia. It was not ¢ much that there were ulants trying for the various positions as that all the ea for regy positions were ideally fitted in puik and hiawn for the jobs they were trying to win. The Teojans’ nariow squeak in the zame against the Oregon Aggles last Saturday pointed less to the weakness of the Southern Californians than to the st ndversatility of the Corvall The Aggies, in point of profici esH v in open play, arther'advanced than th nd but for hreaks that gned and beau- thrown forward passes the s might have won the game. Southern Califorria will be the bet: ter for this test. Not a few of the men ara green, even granting that they have natural foot ball ab Howard Jones, Trojan coach, I8 a stickler for technique, especiaily in the line, where techinical proficiency counts fore than anywhere else. It is Interesting to see a man of light huild who played font ball as long aso as Jones did torzZng 190 and 200 pounders fhrough ability to charge with just the proper drive and to apply leverage with the utmost nicety. Jones Is a Stylist. Jones, as Sid Ziff of the Los Angeles Ixpréss points out, is one of the styl- ists of foot ball, but in watching the Trojans at practice the other day the writer wondered whether Jones has not shaved down Fis shift timing to too fine a point. The iypical Southern California formation ylaces tic center alone or the iine of scrimmage, with eight men, including iwo backs, lined up in a row back of him. Behind this line stand two other backs, practically in tandem. As the forwards step into position, forming a weak and strong side, flanking center, the back who was linad up on the left wing darts around back of the line toward the right end. The ball is snapped just when ihis “back in motion” is behind the centar. Since a halfback ought to cover 10 yards in a second, Jones may come to {ind that the second pause in the shift of the forwards into the line is not being observed If the full pause were being ob- served, the backs In motion would be clear out of the rizht end when the ball is snapped. This is a detail, but it Is mentioned heécause the shift rules are being regarded in this count; quite wisaiy as extremely important. Look to Chieago Game. They are speculating at Southern California as to what effect the late November Chicago climate will haye upon the Trojans when they play Notrs Dame on Soldier Iield. Save | more will go far to show whether or not Navy people in forecasting All-America | honors for twe members of the Naval| | Academy team, R Lloyd, the, fleat 200-pounder who plays in_the | backfield, and Ted Sloane, loft end. | There may be other embrye mem- hers of the mythical team of super- men, but up to the present the Navy | pins its hope for these kind of laurels on the two great players who have| already shown themselves to be play- | ers of unusual menit. Sloane already has shown that he| ecan hold hi own in fast company, | for while playing with Drake in 19 | he was named by Knute Rockne, | Notre Dame's famous coach, as one of the two best ends of the vear. He is the only youth who has ever en- tered the Naval Academy bearing All- | America honors. i | Broke Leg Last Year. | | The game on saturday, instead of | showing whether Hloane can reach the height, will demonstrate whether | |or not he is the player he was two \go.

He has shown, however, that the injured | | member is giving him no trouble. | | » coaches h: led at the be-| ginning of last y r to use Sloane h\‘ the backfield, and he was being trained | for this position when he sustained his injury. There was not sufficient time to make a back of Sloane after he re- covered, This clrcumstance may turn out favorably for the Navy after all, as | the plan to make a back of Russell| Lloyd. who had plaved on the end, | was only formed after it was found impraciicable to make a back of Sloane. As_the matter stands, Lloyd has| found his real place in the backfield. He is the biggest man who ever plaved | behind the line for the Naval Academy | and one 5t the fastest, and Navy peo- ple are declaring that as yet this sea- | n no back has made his appearance with s0 many elements of strength for that position. Liloyd is, possibly, the first notable Marquette, at Milwaukee, last year, no big I'cific Coast team played in the “fiddle West or the East.

October 12.— Bick Cardwell, captain of Virginia’s varsity, probably will be back in his regulat position_at tackle when the Cavaliers face Virginia Military I stitute on Lambeth Field on Saturday afternoon. 3 Line problems are still worrying Farle Neale, head coach, and his two assistants, John Kellison and Charlie Fenw Various combinations of players have been tried at each game, with indifferent success. Capt. Card- well has been working as a guard but it _has bgen found that he is still needed in his former position. George Taylor still is playing at center, and it is not ‘’known whether he will continué to hold this j'ace if Bill Byrd is in shape to work at the pivot point. Taylor is a powerful man on defense, as shown in the South Carolina game, but so far Byrd has done the better passing. It Capt. Cardwell is moved back to tackle, Wallace Symington will fill one of the guards, with either Floyd Harris or Dutch Holland in the other. Harris is aggressive, but light. Hol- land, on the other hand, weighs 240. Working on the theory that Vir- ginia will need all her power on the offense if V. M. L is to be defeated Coach Neale has heen trying a back- field made up of Johnny Hushion at quarter, Lefty Close and John Sloan in the halves and Quintus Hutter atl full.
