SYRACUSE BELIEVED BETTER THAN SHOWN SYRAC Universit with SE, October 13.—Syracuse foot ball team will en- counter its first major opposition of the season at the Archbold Stadium Saturday, when the powerful George- town eleven will be plaved. On paper the Orange chances for victory appear slim. Georgetown in its three games has compiled an im- pressive point total and from all ap- pearances boasts one of the best of Eastern elevens. Syracuse, with an almost entire new team, has experienced difficulties in winning its three games from Ho- bart, William and Mary and Johns Hopkins. ‘Whether or not Head Coach Lew Andreas has refrained from showing the true strength of his Orangemen remains to be seen. The team has great defensive power in the line, but is weak in combating a forward pass attack. Johns Hopkins, the only team to score against Syracuse, managed to do so without making a single down through the center of the Syracuse line in four 15-minute periods of play. A series of long passes and a 15-yard penalty turned the trick. Georgetown supporters are confl- dent of victory, but its scouts who have seen the Orange in action, claim that nothing but straight formations and plays of simple nature have been used by Syracuse, - with the result that they have no accurate idea of what to expect Saturda: Rugby Pass, And It Is Proving Effective BY LAWRENCE PERRY. UGENE, Oreg., October 13.—It is inspiring to see all the foot ball made = possible by the changes in the rules being un- corked in this section of the Northwest. 3 University of Oregon, urider the di- rection of John McEwan, late U. §. A., is the first eleven the writer' has struck which is using the rugby idea of having the runner throw the ball after being tackled. Genevida, also a fomer West Pointer, who is as- sisting McEwan here, played rugby on the American Olympic team in France and he is a firm believer in the lateral idea as applied to the in- tercollegiate game. Ball carriers are being taught to look about them when they see they are going to be tackled, and in the Oregon scheme of play there always seems to be a man nearby to take the two-handed toss from the runner ‘who is about to be downed, or—as hap- pened in the Idaho game here last Baturday—is actually on the ground. The Oregonians not only are work- ing the lateral very well indeed, but they are using it as a cover for line " thrusts and forward passes. This year’s team is a good one. It will be better next year, but right now it is qualified to furnish strong opposition to the best of them. California would do well not to take the Oregon game next Saturday as a matter of.course. Up here they do mot believe that the setting back of the goal posts has robbed the game of the drop- kicking element. 1In this respect Oregon offers a refreshing viewpoint. McEwan thinks that the attitude on the drqp-kicking throughout the West is mental, “They even kick goals after touch- down from placement,” says McEwan, “which is not to my liking at all. A good drop-kicker can make a 30-yard or even a 35-yard fleld goal as easily as he can kick a 25-yard goal if the mental handicap can be removed. We went after a field goal last Saturday - and failure will not deter us from going after more.” This state of mind is not reflected anywhere else in the West. The writer has yet to see this season an attempted field goal, either a drop- kick or from placement. Last Satur- day in the Western Conference not a single field goal was tried and in the East Yale, so far as the writer can learn, was the only big team to make the try. This is too bad and it is to be hoped that next year the goal posts will be placed back in goal lines. Talk that the season will see no star backs to take the place of Fried- man, Slagle and others is already dis- appearing in the face of dazzling per- formances already turned in by Scull of Pennsylvania, Welsh of Purdue, Luby and Maple of the Oregon Aggies and many others. It is already ap- parent that as the season goes on the all-American backfield situation will be as complicated as it ever has been. When Drury of Southern Cali- fornia recovers from a broken finger he will bear watching. From what the writer saw of him in practice the other day he gives every.promise of standing forth as one of the really great backfield performers of the year. Of the upsets which occurred last Baturday, the writer, after looking over Purdue two weeks ago, warned RACES TODAY Laurel, Maryland October 4th to October 29th, inclusive Seven Races Daily Special Baltimore & Ohio R.

Harvard that she was likely to get a beating. The defeat of Nebraska was not an upset. Missouri has always been Nebraska's toughest opponent. Nebraska, however, has splendid ma- terial and as the season goes on the team will steadily improve. In the East the downfall of two of the former big three teams on one day was somewhat stunning. But Georgia always plays her best game against the Elis and for several years past has been bidding to do just what she did last Saturday. Princeton upheld the ancient prestige against Lehigh, but it remains to be seen whether the heavy defeat of the Bethlehemites was due to Tiger strength or to Lehigh weakness, Pennsylvania did a yeoman's exploit in slaying the iron men of old Brown. RO o . NOTRE DAME STANDS BY “FIGHTING IRISH” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 13.—The name “Fighting Irish” ae applied to the foot ball teams of Notre Dame is appraved by the authorities of the university. The New York World asked Father Matthew Walsh, president of the Uni- versity, about the matter. The World today prints the following reply: “I am pleased to let you know that the university authorities are in no way adverse to the name ‘Fighting Irish’ as applied to our athletic teams. It is a pame that came to us spon- taneously from outside without any suggestion from us, and seems to embody the kind of spirit that we like to see carried into effect by the vari- ous organizations that represent us on the athletic field.

University of California (S. Br.) vs. Occidental, at Los Angele: Navy Team Is Inexperienced As Compared NNAPOLIS, October 13.—When it is stated that.the Naval Academy will use an inex- perienced team against Notre Dame in Baltimore on Satur- day, there is no exaggeration, and this is the one factor which gives the South Benders an advantage. Notre Dame has an experienced and brilliant team, while the only exper- ience of the Navy players, excepting two or three, in match games has been in the two games played this season. In some cases, players who will start against Notre Dame played only a short time in these games. The vetérans of the team are Capt. Hannegan, quarter, who is playing his third year on the team, and Ted Sloane, left end, who played two years at Drake, being named as an all-Amer- ica end in 1924. Next in point of experience is Rus- sel Lloyd, who played regularly on the Navy varsity last year, but end, while his present position is in the backfleld. . Lloyd’s games against Davis and Elkins and Drake are the only ones in which he has played in this position. Clifton and Bauer, the other mem- bers of the backfield who will start against Notre Dame, both played on the Navy plebe eleven last year. The Naval Academy has, however, a number of more experienced backs who at the present are in the second string. The list includes Ransford, Schuber, Parish, Milican, Miller and Coffman. All of these did some playing with the varsity last year, and Rans- ford and Schuber played during most of the Army game. It also has a number of other val- uable backs who were with- the strong Plebe eleven last season. These are Spring, Whelchel, Cags and others. In the matter of reserve backfleld strength, the Navy is probably on a level of Notre Dame. > The greenness of the Navy team is demonstrated more clearly in the line, There Sloane is the only real veteran, the others being very short on varsity experience. The other end, Moret, played with the Plebes last season, as did Eddy, left guard. Burke, right guard; Wil- son, right tackle; Giese, left tackle, and Hardin, center, all were substi- tutes last season, some having played for a fair total of time in varsity games. On the other hand, it must be said that the players, as a whole, got a great deal out of Spring practice. Still, according to the best judges, nothing can take the place of actuai experience in match games against to Notre Dame worthy opponents, and it is this that ;heklnrge majority of the naval players ack. LIKELY TO FIGHT IT OUT IN CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Manual Trainers, With More Veterans, Appear to Hold Edge—Other Teams Are Uncertain, But Business May Show Improvement. "H and Central doubtless will be the main contenders in the series for the public high school foot ball cham- pionship, opening next Tues- ;, according to the outlook. Busi- may do much better than last season, It is difficult.to determine just how Eastern will fare. Western, shorn of many of its most dependable 1926 players through graduations and injuries, seems destined for an indiffer- ent campaign. In most quarters Tech, with a num- ‘'ber of 'veterans of tried worth and a group of other boys of real promise, is expected to achieve the crown. | However, in view of its stout showings against Baltimore Poly and Tome, Central shapes up as a combination with a deal of power. Those favoring Tech point to the fact that Hap Hardell last Fall started with an unusually young and green team, but contrived to develop a combination that all but won the title, tieing Western in one of the most dramatic of the schoolboy classics to be staged in recent years. If Hardell could accomplish so much with his 1926 material, Tech adherents argue that it virtually will be impossible to beat the more experienced Manual ‘I'rainers this Fall Hardell himself concedes he has a clever team and believes that if his proteges do not become overconfident Tech will just about come through. The Manual Trainers are formidable in virtually every department. Central's backfield, made up of vet- eran material, 1s all. that can be desir- ed; but Coach Mike Kelly has had to develop a new line this Fail. Upon the showing of this forward wall, doubtless will depend Central's fate. It has shown plenty of promise in games thus far. For the time being coach Bert Cog- gins will send his Central High School basket ball candidates through prac- tice only on' Monday, Wednesray and Friday afternoons. In workcuts thus far Coggins has heen using his most formidable can- didates, as follows: Capt. Burgess, Lemon, Steinmiller and Woodward, forwards; Burch, Nich- Princeton Faces Big Battles With “a Young, Green” Eleven By the Associated Press. RINCETON, October 13.—A young, green team without a star, but tuned to the finest pitch of team play, will carry the colors of Princeton into the forthcoming battles with Cornell and Ohlo State, games which the veteran Nassau coach, Bill Roper, sees as tests of rival systems. While his husky athletes donned their togs for scrimmage, Roper frankly and not pessimistically the strength of this foot ball ine he has built and its chances stopping the formidable foes it must face in the next few weeks. “Our team is young and green,” he said. "It has no star. Its battles will be won or lost on team play. “At present, Cornell probably has a better chance of beating us than we have of beating Cornell, but our team will improve more between now and the game. It is younger, has more to learn and will learn it faster. “In the game at Ithaca, I look for a duel between opposing systems—the Cornell system with its rushing at- tack for short, steady gains, against our own more open passing and kick- ing game. Winning really hinges on the question of which team will de- velop the better defense for the other’s style of offense.” Ohio State, which fills Harvard's place in the Princeton schedule this year, will represent the Western type of play in which individual brilliancy figures to a greater extent, in Roper’s view, while his own eleven will depend upon team work. “In the East, more attention is paid to details,” he said, “while in the West they have oftentimes the better indi- vidual players.” Roper mentioned Eby and. Raskowski as stars of the Ohio team which he saw in action last year. His own squad has been tried in the crucible of heated competition for the eight open places on the team since it -reported September 15, in better condition, Roper said, than any he has seen in his 14 years as coach. The line which emerged from the trials of early season games averages 192 and the backfield 173, Only two of the regulars are seniors, and the team as 2 unit is not old enough to vote. Of these ‘“starless wonders,” only two stand out in anything approaching individual brilliance, Ed_Wittmer in carrying the ball and Earl Baruch with his drop-kick. For the rest Roper relies on team work and the concen- trated combination of youth and beef. ols, centers, and Jewler, Fisher, Ryan and Miller, guards. Castell is ex ed. to be in the running for a along with Simmons and though the latter two will not be able to join the squad until the close of the foot ball season.. Burgess is the lone regular re- maining from last season, but Lemon, Burch, Castell and Simmons have had experience. The remainder of the squad, however, contains few players knowing a whole lot about the zame. One of these tossers though, is exceptionally fast, He is Stein- miller. Development of Georgetown Prep’s grid squad has been hampered by injuries to a number of players, includ- ing Howard Boyd, Louis Dolle, Frank McNamara and Alfred McCann, Games for Emerson Institute’ E ket bali team are being booked by Coaeh Irving Sanborn at Adams 5303.

The wind was welcomed, for he wanted to prepare them against possi- ble winds during their game in Balti- more Saturday with Notre Dame. The probable line-up for Saturday was given as: Moret, right end; Geise, left tackle; Pierce, left guard; Hardin, center; Burke, right guard; Wilson, right tackle; Sloane, left ‘end; Hannegan, captain and quarterback; Bauer and L Clifton, fullback.

All of th men can carry the ball, can pass, and can punt. Hushion is not as fast as Close and Sloan, but he bas the experience that has come after several seasons of varsity play, Hutter,will be started as fullback. This big fellow is playing his third season with the Cavallers. Besides being a powerful driving back, he is one of the best defensive men on the squad.
