TR Army Favored Over Notr CADETS MUCH IMPROVED SINCE CLASH WITH YALE West Point Eleven Now to Be Rated Among Best of Country and Will Enter Game Tomorrow Well Prepared to Battle South Benders. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, November 11.— Looking forward to the Army- Notre Dame game, which will be played in New York to- morrow, followers of foot ball ‘should discount statements that the Irish were pretty well knocked out by the powerful Minnesota team. The fact is that, considering the hefty Jines which were opposed and the b Yer fight they waged, the play came out of the game in surprisingly good coindition. Notre Dame in every game she plays demonstrates the fact that foot ball may be waged with utter rugged- ness and vet with a minimum of in- Jury to opponents. This is because the play of Rockne's men, while hard, i scrupulously = clean. Minnesota benefited by this, so far as injuries were concerned, and in turn the Gophers, as Dr, Spears’ teams always do, concentrated upon playing the game in accordance with the ethics of_sportsmanship. * Those who have closely followed the fortunes of Notre Danie and the Army this season give the South Bend team the edge in the coming battle at the Yankee Stadium. Yet this is not allowing for the November rush of the Cadets to form they have not hitherto approached. The fact is that the Army has been coming and_coming fast since the Yale game. In that contest it showed the potential power which lay in the outfit and gave more than a hint of a strong and varied attack lying in the future. Army Should be Strong. Saturday should see West Point represented by a team somewhat above the Army standard, which is excellent. Right now it may be ranked among_the strong elevens of the country. It will show a drive on defense which in the shocks and jars it provides is quite likely to amount to offense. And on attack it will be sur- prising if the team does not show & versatility unusual in Army elevens. There are excellent chances that the game will show that Cagle, Wilson and Murrell are not the only accom- plishehd backfield artists on the West Point squad. The line, which has been a bit soggy all season, outside the ends, is due for a rise. All in all, this Army eleven may ‘well surprise a lot of foot ball follow- ers, including the Notre Dame team. Much will depend upon the way the ends handle the Notre Dame attack. Unless Rockne has changed his of- fensive methods completely—and there is mo reason now to thirfk that he has—it is quite-likely that those ac- complished Army wingmen. will nof fall for those traps, such as inviting holes in the offensive line, which Rockne so cunningly devises. There probably will be a lot of nice defensive work on the part of the Army, in which the ends will let the backs not through, the hol while the ends, using their hands, fight back the offensive en at the line, with the tackles doing their part with no little ferocity. Task for Notre Dame. So Notre Dame ought to have a tough time gaining ground, her task of advancing always being more sim- s getystraight | to beat Brown, and it may be said for ple when her blocl shots at the defense in the area back of the original line of scrimmage. On the other hand, Notre Dame has never recelved credit such as is her due for a defense which is far beyond anything of the sort in that section of the country. It is derived from a complete knowledge on the part of Knute Rockne of every shift and*turn in offensive foot ball. He is blessed with the faculty of what may be termed the ‘“short-hand” system of teaching defense. This is, of course, in good measure due to the fact that no man plays on his varsity eleven who has not heen taught all there is ta know about fundamental foot ball, tackling, taking out interferers, fol- Vlowing the ball, and so forth. Hence with his team equipped basically and with his knowledge of general foot ball offense, he is able to spend less time on defense than on attack and vet apply the one as thoroughly as the other. There ought not to be many scores in Saturday's game, and an Army victory would not surprise the writer. Some other mighty interesting games will be played tomorrow and the probable winners are herewith selected on the basis of facts as they have appeared throughout the sea- son. Princeton-Yale. This ought to be one of the great games of the season, a rough and tough setto with plenty of thrills. Yale has a fine line, at least one excellent back and a very limited offense. To date the Eli line- men have not played against any line that has functioned as a forward wall should. As a consequence Yale has not had too much difficulty in getting the long end of scores in games thus far played. Princeton will show that she, too, has a very strong forward wall. g Cornell game revealed no indication of the Tiger's ‘strength, but last Saturday against Ohio State, Prince~ ton palyed at least an average major team and shqwed great strength in the line. It is not assuming too much to say that the Nassau line is equally as fine as that of Yale. On the other hand, Princeton has a more versatile attack and a better balanced back field. and this applies whether or not Bruce Caldwell plays for Yale. It seems questionable whether the Yale attack will function effec- tively against a highly qualified line and Yale's forward-passing attack has shown nothing to date that would stamp it as a real threat. The Tigers have the edge. Michigan-Navy—On Michigan's home fleld and with the double-action pass- ing combination of Oosterbaan and Gilbert in working order, it looks as though an average good Michigan team would beat an average Navy team after a close struggle. Tilinols-Chicago—Chicago has turned in some good games, but it does not seem as though she has either the power or the versatility to beat Illi- &0 | nois, which is picked to win. Marquette-Holy Cross—This will be e great game, at Milwaukee. Parti- sans of the Hilltoppers will see a very fine Eastern brand of forward pass and some excellent line play. The dope seems to indicate a Holy Cross victory. L Harvard-Brown—Harvard is picked .. THE EVENING the Crimson that if she co-ordinatea her power, she has it in her to beat a better eleven than the Brunonians have shown themselves to be this year. — Dartmouth-Cornell—This should be a great contest, with the chances fa- voring the Green. Northwestern-Indiana—It would not be surprising to see the Hoosiers take the shot-to-pieces Wildcats. Oregon-Oregon Aggies—This set-to seems likely to end in favor of the Aggles. Penn State-New York University— Here is one great prospect in the way of a game. New York has the power and versatility to win. Pittsburgh-Nebraska—Another great thriller. It would not be surprising if either team won, but the odds favor Nebraska. Syracuse-Colgate—This will be a great game, and Colgate seems to have the edge. University of Southern California- Colorado—The Los Angeles team should win this game. ‘Wisconsin-Towa—The Badgers seem to be equipped to win this struggle. (Covyright, 1027.) , WAR CLOUDS LOOM OVER HEAVY BATTLE By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 11.—War clouds gathered over the boxing world today with promoters wrangling over who will stage the next heavyweight championship fight for Gene Tunney. Jim Mullen, Chicago promoter, wired newspapers that he would come to New York prepared to sign the champlon for a title bout in Chicago next Summer. Humbert Fugazy, Rickard's oppo- nent in the metropolitan district, de- clared he was ready to guarantee the champion $500,000 for his next hout. Fugazy said he had permission from Chairman James A. Farley of the Boxing Commission to stage the fight in New York, with the Yankee Sta- dium as a prospective arena. Tunney at Speculator, N. Y., said it was common knowledge that Rickard was Jack Dempsey’s pilot “behind the scenes” and that Leo P. Flynn was Dempsey’s manager in name only. Tunney asserted he was in no way under Rickard’s management. Billy Gibson, Tunney’'s manager, pointed out that while Tunney was under contract to fight for Rickard once in 1928, there was no reason why he vo\;,ld not fight for some one else as well. Rickard expressed confidence that ‘Tunney would fight for him next year. While Rickard has a contract from Tunney, the Boxing Commission’s at- titude here has been that a promoter must show contracts from both prin- cipals in a bout to be recognized. Fugazy =aid he had plans for match- ing Mickey Walker and Jack Demp- sey. — . NEWARK GETS FOURNIER, WITH BRAVES IN 1927 BOSTON, November 11 (#).—In the absence of comment by the Boston Braves' management regarding the re- ported signing of Jack Fournier, Tribai first baseman, as a member of the Newark International League club, it was recalled here that Fournier was under a contract of one year only with the Braves last season.

C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11 STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE NOTHER golf course in the so- called “country club section' of Maryland, near the north. western end of Washington, is under development by a real estate company as an adjunct to its home-building operations. The course is the Kenwood golf course and lies between the Goldsboro road and the River road, only a short distance from the western bhoundary of the Chevy Chase Club, across Wis. consin avenue. The course is a nine. hole affair, laid out along ‘‘easy” lin and when completed will be a com: munity layout for residents of the neighborhood. Much of the layout fronts on the River road, while the clubhouse will stand at the front on the junction of the proposed Dorset road with the River road. Another golf title fell yesterday to the links prowess of Mrs. J. Marvin Haynes, former District title holder. Pros Differ.on Foot Action for Mashie [10P. MASHIE BACKSWING 001 0 GROUND 1oo BY SOL METZGER. “When you reach the top of your backswing for a mashie the line of vision is directly over yvour left shoulder. ur head and body must remain still. At this point you must have in mind that you are trying to make a direct hit at the ball with the open face of your club,” writes Dewey Longworth, an expert with this club. Longworth lifts the , left heel slightly at the top of his mashie backswing. Barnes keeps it on the ground, resting his balance on the inside of his foot. Sarazen is most flat on the ground with both feet. But all of the stars shift the bulk of their weight at this point to_the right leg. Here is the point in mashie play where you make or break the shot. Some players start hitting from the top. The result is they straighten the right arm and shove the left from the body. That causes a slice, rarely a hook, though a tendency in this case is to roll the wrists throt and pull badly. To insul making the right start begin pull- ing down with a straight left arm, keeping it close to the body. And at the top have the wrists cocked, bent so that the back of the left hand is on a plane runnin toward the hole. *Uncocking the: wrists on the downswing gives the zip that cuts under the ball, im- parting both loft and backspin, & pair of virtues that go hand in hand on pitch shots.
