ITH the exception of Yale, Princaton and Harvard, most teams in the Western Con- ference and some few in I Saddest of *Em All | the Southern Conferencc, foot, ball teams in all parts of the Uni ed States swing into action in regula ly scheduled contests in what really the general opening date of the season Some few scattered contests wer: rla,\'rd a week ago, but they were neg- igible in comparison to the schedule of tomorrow. The great majority of con- tests are between schools showing con- siderable disparity of strength, but some may develop inte real battles. Take the Naval Academy - Davi Elkins game tomorrow at Annapolis. Davis-Elkins last week defeated We: Virginia and may have a powerful team, and the game may develop into almost a midseason struggle, instead of a warm-up such as a team like the Navy might desire. But then again, the showing Davis-Elkins made by defeat- ing West Virginia may not mean as much as it seems to. West Virginia may not be nearly so strong as it has been in recent seasons and consequently Davis-Elkins would not be as much of an opponent for the Navy as its victory over West Virginia indicates it might be. Navy probably will win by two or three touchdowns. ot Penn State has a game listed with Lebanon Valley, and rumors have it that Lebanon Valley may be stronger than usual. Bezdek’s team may catch a Tartar, although that is not probable. Cornell breaks into action with Clark- son Tech as its opponent and Pennsyl- vania has a game with Ursinus, and both Cornell and Penn should win about as they please. Fordham may strike more of a snag than it expects in meet- ing Si. Bonaventure, while Columbia may have a real battle with Vermont. Dartmouth plays Norwich, a team it usually beats very decisively, while Col- gate has a game with St. Lawrence. Notre Dame brings an opponent from New Orleans to South Bend, Loyola Uni- versity being that foe. Shaughnessy's eleven may put up a stubborn battle against Rockne's outfit. Indiana is the only Western Conference eleven with a game snd it meets Wabash in its tradi- tional opening. Syracuse plays Hobard and New York University faces Niagara. University of Pittsburgh entertains Thiel College in its first contest, while Car- negie Tech plays Westminster. Twao Contests Here. All clcvens in: the South Atlantic sec- tion have games listed, but not one is likely to produce any real fireworks. The three in which there is the best chance of some good action are those between North Carolina and Wake Forest at Chapel Hill, Virginia Military Institute and Richmond at . Lexington, and Georgetown and Mount St. Mary’s here. It is probable that the bigger teams, Nomh Carolina, Virginia Military In- stitute, and Georgetown, will win with- out a whole lot of trouble. This is said, too, despite the fact that Wake Forest has dcfeated ?on'l-;l Cfllixfla rlnyflt‘he opening game for the fous IS, 'rpheu Fall, though, s 'fluulht das been given to the the Bap- tists, and the Tarheels are expecting wind up the contest with the slate wij clean. ‘3 %elggmh's opening game is with Ran- dolph-Macon, and it is a foregone con- clusion as to what will happen. Wash- ington and Lee should defeat Lynchburg Collége without any trouble and Virginia Polytechnic Institute is almost certainly an easy victor over Roanoke. Duke Uni- versity opens with Purman at Green-| ville, and desnite the fine record made by the latter for scveral ycars probably will win rather easily. Local Games Dwindle. Games for local elevens have dwindled to four, George Washington's with Dalgren Naval Proving Ground was doubtful and Gallaudet’s with Hamp- den-Sidney was called off. This leaves only two contests here, the one at Clark Grifith Stadium between Georgetown and Mount St. Mary’s and the other at College Park between University of Maryland and Washington College. Under ordinary circumstances George- town and Maryland ought to emerge from their openers without having been pushed more than they want to be, but there always is an element of question GIL DOBIE, Cornell coach, and the most doleful mentor in foot ball, who is running true to form in predicting dire disaster for the big Red team this Fall. ALEXANDRIA ELEVEN TO LEAVE FOR GAME ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 28— Alexandria High School's varsity squad | of 16 gridders will leave by boat to- night at 7 o'clock for Newport News, where tomorrow they will tackle New- port News High School in the opening game on the Maroon and White sched- ule. Alexandria High School has booked & game with the George Washington U. freshman eleven for this city Octo- ber 12. Virginia A. C. will practice under arc lights tonight at King and Lee streets at 7 a'clock. The play-off between Lionel Beeton and Capt. P. K. Stacey of Fort Hum- phreys for the President’s Cup has been set for the Belle Haven Country Club’s links tomorrow afternoon. Rosebud A.

Va,, Septem- ber 28.—The Potomac River was slight- ly cloudy and. the Shenandoah: was muddy this morning. Pop May Spring Something New BY SOL METZGER. Will “Pop” Warner’s new offense, the formation hz will spring in the opening game between his Stanford eleven and the Olympic A. C. this Saturday, revolutionize foot ball, as Pop has revolutionized attack sev- eral times in the past? That is the big question. Pop was never bet- ter equipped for a gird campaign than for this one, as they tell me he has two good men for every posi- tion on the elevem. In consequence, Stanford’'s supporters, including Herbert Hoover, look for a clean sweep on the coast. ‘The new formation Pop is about to launch is a more open one than in all foot ball games, especially as it is now played. | Mount St. Mary’s may have a much | stronger team than is expected. and in the Maryland-Washington College game a somewhat uncertain factor exists in the fact that Washington College is coached by a Maryland man, “Chicf” Beatty, who knows the plays that Mary- Jand will use tomorrow as well as the Old Line players. It was Beatty who had charge of Spring practice at Mary- | Jand last year, and under whom the plays to be used tomorrow were tried out and polished up for use this Fall. That may make a lot of difference, and certainly should give Washington Col- Jege an advantage it has not had in previous years. C. U. Has Tough Game. Catholic University's squad is at Bos- ton and undoubtedly is in for a tough afternoon tomorrow when it faces Bos- ton College. However, Jack McAuliffe has proved himself a mighty good coach, knows how to get the best out of a squad, and if the C. U. squad has stuff enough in it to make good it will make good under McAuliffe. American Uni- i versity in meeting Gettysburg at Gettys- he has been wont to use. The line is unbalanced as hitherto; but in the set of his backs radical changes are noticeable.

Big construction projects at Quantico are_eliminating the athletic field and the Seasoldiers. The Marines play no Fome games this year, all their contests being on the grounds of their opponents. No more pleasing nor more satisfac- terday wound uj tory arrangement for developing Iont: ball teams could be had than that| which the Marines and Maryland have | about compieted. Coaches of the two | teams are close: friends and players of | the squads have furnished each other | with opposition that is worth something in preliminary scrimmaging. Players of both squads have come to know one another personally and to take a per- sonal interest in the success of one an- other. No group would be more satis- fied if the Marines go through a fine | seasons tomorrow by meeting Maryville | season, and Marines always pull for| Maryland in the contests in whieh the | latter takes part. So satisfactory and advantageous have the training arrangements proved that the two squads undoubtedly will con- | tinue to work out together in future seasons.

This formation is not entirely new to foot ball, as Lafayette, coached by Herb McCracken, a Warner pupil at Pitt, has used a somewhat similar one. But before we take up that let us look at War- ner's system of place-kicking, quite different from that usually in vogue, in tomorrow’s article. | You can't win foot ball games by | abusing the stomach.

RECORD FOR GLOOM |Opines This Year’s Coracll Team Is Worst He Has Ever Coached. | By the Associated Press. THACA, N. Y. September 28.— Gloomy Gil Dobie outglooms him- self this year. His 1928 Cornell foot ball team, he says, is the worst | he ever coached. Yet loyal sup- porters of Cornell may gain some slight ray of encouragement from the fact that in the same interview, Dobie de- clared not even the big Red machines {of the undefeated years of 1921, 1922 and 1923 were what he calls good foot | | ball teams. ‘When you think of Dobie you think | of those teams in the heyday of George Pfann and Eddie Kaw, yet when asked what outfits were the best of his coach- ing experience the long, lean veteran doesn't even mention them. He goes back to the days when he was getting his start at the University of Wash- years he was there. Specifically he names the husky clevens of 1909 and 1914 as the standouts of the lot. al- though he says the quality ran pretty even from year to year. Easy at Washington. “Washington was just a good honest school,” he ‘explains, “we got our sharc of the boys frgm around the State, some who had played foot ball and some who hadn't, and once you got the sys- tem started it was easy to keep the thing going.” Dobie’s explanation for what he de- scribes as a sorry state of foot ball af- fairs here is that because of high scholarship and entrance standards and the widespread practice of offering scholarships and other inducements to schoolboy athletes of note, a practice in which Cornell does not participate, the institution is not even getting a fair share of material. “Look ‘'em over for yourself.” said Dobic. “This will help to show you how bad it is. Last year a boy came out for foot ball who weighed about 140 pounds. He was made a member of our “all-Americas,” a squad which consists of the candidates who are the last word in physical unfitness. Well, before the vear was out, I had to use half a dozen of these players on the varsity including the man I mentioned, Bristol.” Had a Silver Lining. The silver lining for Cornellians may be found in Dobie’s surprisingly low cs- timate of his greatest Cornell teams. Dobie admits that Kaw and Pfann d veloped into stars. but.says their sup- porting cast was derived from anything but_made-to-order material. “I had to use a big slow fellow in the backfield with them,” says Gil, “who would take all day to get across the street. When he played his knees swelled up to twice their size and he was deaf in both ears—crippled at four points. In order to give me four men in the backfield, I had to take one man off the end and make a back out of him “Well, that crowd got going in the | Dartmouth game and simply ran wild and there was no stopping them for | three years.” NEALE INDICATES MEN VIRGINIA WILL START UNIVERSIPY, Va.,, September 28.— Coach Earle Neale has not announced the lineup which Virginia will use in the opening game against Randolph- Macon College tomorroy, but he is like- ly will use the following: Flippin and Turner, ends; Captain Luke and Motley, tackles; Symington and Debutts, guards; Taylor, center; | er. halfbacks, and Faulconer, fullback.

BRITISH AND YANKS IN TENNIS CLASHES By the Associated Pre: LOS ANGELES, September 28.—Four members of the British Davis Cup squad were matched with youthful American stars here today in the first of three days of international tennis matches preliminapy to the Pacific Southwest championship tournament beginning Monday. The schedule of play for today: Capt. H. G. Collins (British) vs. Johnny Doeg (United States) of Santa Monica, Calif. H. W. Austin (British) vs. Keith Gledhill (United States) of Santa Bar- bara, Calif. J. C. Gregory and Edward Higgs (British) vs. Berkeley Bell of Texas and John Van Ryn of Princeton University (United States). The American team averaged slight- ly over 19 years of age. The British team was scheduled to play only in the international matches as it planned to leave Monday for Australia. BALTIMORE POLY WINS. BALTIMORE, Md., September 28— Baltimore Poly won its opening foot ball GIRLS AND VETS REACH TITLE GOLF SEMI-FINALS;l | By the Associated Press. OT SPRINGS, Va., September 28—+Nineteen years ago Mrs Dorothy Campbell Hurd of brity, champion of the United States, Great Britain and Canada. Vir- ginia Van Wie of Chicago was wait- ing to celebrate her first birthday, still some six months distant. Today the Philadelphia woman, three | ttmes American champion, found the way to her fourth gitle blocked in the semi-final round by Miss Van Wie. The veteran still possessed her remarkable vitality and skill. while Miss Van Wic plays a game well worthy of an Amer- ican champion. > i Glenna Collett, the Providence girl who hits a golf ball like a man and | putts with a delicate touch, oppose Mrs. George H. Stetson of Philadelphia in the lower bracket. seeking her third title, while Mr: Stetson would hold the honor for second time should she win the cham- | pionship. The semi-finals matches left nothing to be desired from the standpoint of stage setting. In one respect the two matches were similar, with Miss Collett and Miss Van Wie contrasted with Mrs. Hurd and Mrs. Stetson in style of play. The first two are among the Jongest hitters in the game among wom- en, while the two Philadeiphia wom- en are noted for accuracy and endur- | ance and great skill in match play. Miss Ven Wie was expected to lead | Mrs. Hurd from the tee, as did Maureen Orcutt of Englewood, N. J., who bowed Philadelphia was a golf cele- | Miss Collett is | fore Mrs, Hurd 2 up yesterday after a gallant up-hill fight. Should the match be prolonged to the limit, how- ever, Mrs. Hurd was matched against a sicady nerve that remained unshaken through similar encounters in the sec- ond and third rounds. It took Miss Van Wie 19 holes to dispose of Edith Quier of Reading, Pa., and she battled to the cighteenth green to win 1 up from Marion Hollins of New York. Mrs. Hurd has won her three matches with- cut unusual exertion, going to the final areen in the third round only, to win 2 up. Miss Collett. at the top of her bril- liant game, has traveled the smoothest path of any of the four contestants still in the championship, while Miss Stet- son, charged with disposing of the Southcrn champion and two strong en- ics from Canada, has traveled prob- | the roughest. ! Overwhelming first Beatrice Gottlieh | of New York and then Mrs. J. S.

Mrs. Stetson accomplished her first | task, eliminating the Southern cham- | pion, Marion Turpie of New Orleans. | 3 and 2. and _won by the same score | against Helen Paget of Cttawa, Canada. | It took her 20 holes, however, to dispose | of the socond Canasian entry, M Dora Virtue of Mentreal. and a bi | 4 was necessary to put an end to the | lengthy match. FOR PRO G VERYTHING Is in readiness for the opening of the big profes- sional golf show next Monday at the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country Club, where Walter Hagen will make a strenuous attempt to win his fifth consecutive championship of the Professional Golf- ers’ Association of America. Washington's only entrant in the championship—Tommy Armour of Con- gressional—will start the 36-hole qual- ifying round Monday at 10:20 in com- pany with Gene Sarazen of Fresh Meadow and Art Smith of Athens, Ohio. They will play the afternoon round at 2:05. All the competitors will play in threesomes during the medal round. The entire field is to play 36 holes next Monday, with 32 to survive the medal round. All matches starting Tuesday will be at 36 holes. A. L. Houghton of Manor, according to his own confession, played Miller B. Stevinson yesterday, and not the golf course, and therefore is not the holder of the District amateur golf champion- shl‘: today. Stevinson made a fine pull-up over the final round of the title chase at Columbla yesterday to tie the Manorite. In any event, there is no District champion today, for Stevinson and Houghton tied yesterday at 315 for the title, after the former had gained an game yesterday over Boys’ Latin School eleven, 12 to 0.

CANOE SAILING HAS CAPITAL DEVOTEES Canoe sailing is a branch of sport here that appears to be gaining devo- tees. Last year Howard Greene, a veteran Capital canoeist, appeared on the Potomac with a large, open canoe, equipped with a pair of sails totaling 114 square feet. Today there are three or four canoes equipped with double | and even triple-sail rigs, as well as many lateen rigs in almost daily use on the | Upper Potomac. | In addition tc Greene the local canoc | salors include C. H. (Hans) Wagner, | Mare Fore, Jack Hazzard, Claude Pruitt | ‘and Dr. Hearst. There also are several others. Greene and Hazzard attended the re- cent canoe sailing races held by the Maryland Yacht Club in Baltimore. They enjoyed the day thoroughly. Haz- zard belleves there is no good reason why this city should not be well repre- sented in the Baltimore event next year. Both he and Greene plan to enter. Hazzard would be glad to give such in- formation as he has regarding the Bal- timore races to other local canoe sailing racing fans.

BROTHER OF COACH MAY RUN HIS TEAM By the Associated Press CHICAGO, September 28.—A Hanley coached team may be run by a Hanley quarterback, if Lee Hanley, brother ot Head Coach Dick and Assistant Pat, succeeds in landing a position on the Northwestern. It is likely that Lee will be calling signals, at least part of the time, as he is performing in 2 manner that reminds brother Dick of pre-war days when he gtut barking signals at Washington ate. Lee comes from a family of foot ball players. There are six brothers and all have or are now playing end or quarter- back. Dick captained the Washington State eleven in 1919 on which were brother Pat and Harold, both ends. A few years later Myron called signals at | - the University of Washington and now Homer, the youngest of the six, is the leading candidate for one of the end positions at Washington State. Less is a sophomore at Northwestern. | ! | § ‘ | | | Automatic Windshield Cleaner", Y —_— WIRELESS CrGap 1 LGHTER . $1.29 | 5 Cut Out for Ford This cut-out can be easily installed in any | Ford.

This move, made at the request of Hifchcock, re- moved Sanford to the side-lines after. a four-day membership on the squad. Sanford was named to succeed Harri- man on Monday when the Gomnm.ie at the same time, replaced J. Chee Cowdin with Guest. Apparently this latest shift was in- stigated by Hitchcock because he has never played behind Sanford while he has been teamed with Harriman many times. The United States captain, pos- sibly, felt that teamwork would suffer unless Harriman were back at No. 1. The new United States combination rates at 35 goals, Hitchcock and Steveh- son being handicapped at the maximum of 10, Guest at 8 and Harriman at 7. Sanford was a 6-goal player. But if the stars and stripes is carried to victory over the Argentines it will be a sensational upset. The South Amer- ican four of Arturo Kenny, Jack Nelsan, J. D. Miles and Lewis Lacey has been playing magnificent polo for some weeks. They figure to win, perhaps by an over- ‘whelming margin.
