o O e ORTS. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON., D. (o) TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1928.. INVEEST GENTERS N TRID OF GAVES All of Them, Though, Appear to Have Big Edge on BY H. C. BYRD. Opponents. HIS week in foot ball wiil be noted chiefly by the opaning of their schedules by Ya's, Har- vard and Princeton, and by the playing of the first big game in many sections. Neither Yale, Harvard nor Princeton is likely to b extended much in its first contest, but the very fact that they are playing is of grea interest, as, no matter how strong othes elevens may be, it is doubtful if an them have entirely attained the ioot ball maturity and dignity of these three. Princeton opens with Vermont, pos- sibly strongest of the teams to be met by these thres schools on the opening date. Yale is not likely to find M2xine anything other than a good develop- ment medium, while Harvard ought to win from Springfield easly. All Due to Be Strong. Not much has been said so far about | Yale, Hervard and Princeton as far as | their prospects for strong teams go. | but it is likely that all of them will be | out with elevens capable of taking vare of themselves. Yale and Princeton, with the nucleus of their brilliant | squads of last year again in uniform, | &hould be exceptionally strong, while the | opinion generally prevails that Harvard | should be far better than at any pre- vious time in recent years. Harvard and Princeton, of course, have the same coaching systems s last year, while Vale has effected a change. Wendell is at Harvard again and Roper &till is holding the fort at Princeton Tad Jones stepped out at Yale and handed over the "head coach's job to Marvin Sievens, former star halfback, who has been Jones’' main essistant for four years. Jones is chairman of the foot ball committee and probab'y will be the main factor in directing the squad. Besides the inlerest attached to the opening of their schedules by Yale, Princeton and Harvard, several big con- tesis are to take place in different se tions of the country, contests that 2 likely, to be just about as good as any of the year. Out of the Middle West Notre Dame and Wisconsin meet in what is likely to be a brilliantly and stubbornly played game. Out on the Pacific Coast Oregon and Stanford face each other and Southern California and the Oregon Aggies. One of tie hig games in the Middle West is between Iowa State and Nebraska, which has about the same setting for that particn- lar section as the North Carolina-Vir- ginia games for that section. Service Teams have Tasks. _Army and Navy are likely to hook up with real opponents in meeting South- ern Methodist University of Texas and Boston College. Army is likely to have its hands full, while Navy is not going to have an easy task, inasmuch as Bo: ton Colleg is heralded this Fall as ha: ing one of its strongest elevens. Southern Conference elevens begin to get togethr in earnest, practically every State having a real battle on. The one nearest to Washington will be that at College Park between Maryland and Nerth Carolina, on= of the three biggest games of the season here. at Charlottesville, Virginia entertains South Carolina, the latter fresh from its vic- tory over Chicago. Virginia expects to win. Washington and Lee plays North Carolina State and Virginia Military In- stitute journeys to Atlanta to meet Georgia Tech. Tulane faces Mississippi A. and M. at Jackson, Miss. Two South- ern Conference schools meet outside competition that should be strong, Van- derbilt entertaining Colgate at Nash- ville and Sewanee journeying to Dallas for a game with Texas'A. and M. Maryland Has Big Job. On receipt of information brought by Burton Shipley, who scouted North Car- olina last week, the Maryland squad started yesterday in preparation for what it realizes will be about as difficult 8 test as it will get this year. North Carolina has been brought for- ‘ward more rapidly than the other teams in the section, due to its intense desire to avenge its four years of defeats at the | hands of Wake Forest, and Maryland | expects to put in a week of real foot | ball in order to bring itself up as much | as possible to meet the Tarhecls. | Shipley says that Carolina has the best Tarheel eleven he has ever seen and that it is a finished product, far more advanced than usual for this time | of year. He also says that the Tarheels | have plenty of reserve strength, nearly | four full teams having taken part in| the crushing of Wake Forest, 65 to 0. ¢ Penn’s Chief Asset Hidden Ball Trick R A onea® L gy 205 A £ BY SOL METZGER. Penn will rely in the main upon jts hidden bail siuff for victory. No Eastern eleven has such a wealth of veteran backs to start with as Penn has. In Captain Scull the Red and Blue has one of the most versa- tile ones in tho country, whereas in Murphy, now placed at half, Young has as clusive a runner as the game knows in the East. Penn's offensive formation, as the diagram shows, differs radically from most any other in the land. In the first place the line is more un- balanced, five linemen playing on the strong side. In the second place the two wing backs play inside their ends. Penn does this to permit better manipulaiion of the ball. One pass Penn will likely use to- day is staried when the center tosses it to No. 2, who turns to his right and fakes giving it to No. 4, who runs to the left and fakes carrying the ball. No 2 now gives ground to the rear, turns quickly and passes to No 1, usually Murphy. Murphy caught such a pass against Columbia last year and wormed his way through the opposition backfield for a touchdown. P e, By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 2.—Prince- ton, first of the big Eastern colleges to adopt the huddle system, has reverted to the old signal-calling system in vogue before quarterbacks had so much voral opposition from the crowds. The change was not made because Bill Roper, the Tigers' head coach, thought the crowds were going to he any smaller this season. But Bill feels that the huddle system has lost one of its chief advantages through the new ruling, which forces players coming | out of the huddle to halt a full second at the line of scrimmage before the ball can be snapped. Heretofore the ball could be passed back before the defensive team had a chance o meet new line or back formations. A quar- terback with a husky pair of lungs ought to be able to be heard above the clamor of the crowd, however loud the | noise it makes, Bill opines. At any rate, the quarterback will be calling signals when Princeton lines up against Vermont in its opening game on Sat- urday. The other two-thirds of the one- time “Big Three” also get their initial tests on the coming week end. Yale, featuring an aerial attack, takes on Maine, while Harvard is meeting Springfield. A defense against lateral as well as forward passes is being stressed this week by “BIff” Jones of the Army, which battles the Southern Methodist University's crack array in what should be the banner engagement of the week. Another team from below the Mason | and Dixon line, Willlam and Mary, comes North to uphold the South’s foot ball prestige against a Syracuse eleven still in the process of finding itself. Not to be outdone, the North sends Colgate to Nashville, Tenn., to face Vanderbilt. Completing the intersec- tional card so far as the East is con. cerned. is West Virginia University's | fray at Wheeling against the Haskell | Indians of Lawrence, Kans. There will be plenty of work for “Navy Bill” Ingram's Annapolis Mid- | shipmen this week. The Navy got off on its wrong foot against Davis-Elkins | and needs to be in better form to down | a pretty good Boston College eleven. PEPPY WORLD SERIES DUE DESPITE GRUELING RACES BY GEORGE MORIARITY, Manager of the Detroit Base Ball Club. ON account of the close finishes in both major league races the impression is quite general that the Yankees and Cardinals will meet in a “tired” world series effair. That is merely & theory. Ball play- ers seldom are physically fagged out when the Fall classic is at hand. The thought of the big series is inspiring in | itself, and the players go to bed and awaken with thoughts of possible gold | and glory on their minds. The reaction | from the pennant strain does not really | assert itself till the series is over. True enough, the Yankees have a | hospital list that is likely to handicap | them in their tilts with the Cardinals, | but the Huggins tribe is not “tired out"” | by any means. I saw them at Detroit last. week, and they played snappy and | courageous ball when the pennant was . Bt stake, Loss of Pennock a Blow. 1t is certain that Pennock will not | pitch in th> serics. This is a matter of deep repret to American Leagu» fol- lowars, as this great left-hand~r has a habit of m ng his brilliance to the | oceasion, Tony Lazzeri will play sacond base with an injured shoulder.

Only a bas: ball manager real- Izes the pangs he has suffered. Rldmg! the crest of the wave with the com- | manding lead of 131, games, he sud- ! denly awoke to find the Mackmzn close encugh to grab off the honors. During the Yankees' last stand at Detroit, the other day, I asked Hug- | gins how h» felt about the coming geries with the Cardinals.

Other- wise_the second game may bs intrusted to Pipgras, who shone so mightily against Pittsburgh last Fall. Tom Zachary also will be shoved in at the earliest possible moment. Hoyt for Rescues, Too. This pitching pattern will give Hug- gins a chance to have Hoyt ready for any emergency after the first game. It is probable that Earl Combs, the Yan- kees' great center fielder, will b in the series, despite the injury to his hand in >ne of the final games at Detroit. Other- wise Cedric Durst will get a chance to show his wares in the middle garden, and much depends upon his efforts. Pasehal 2lso may have an opportunity to break in. On the other hand. the Cardinals loom in threatening fashion, because the club is intact. They have played a beautiful brand of ball throughout the Summer, and obviously demon- strated their courage by holding se- curely to a slim lead in forcign ter- ritory during their last trip East. Mainly, Alexander and Sherdel face | the task of showing what the crafty, | use-ycur-head style of pitching js worth | against a band of sluggers like the | Yankocs Hainos, Rhom and the rest must also « unfold a convineing brand of curves to cave in the Yankees. regardless of the hospital handicap_that the Yankess must play under. I think the Cardinals face a man sized job in gaining the verdict. (Copyright, 1328. by North Americ: - Daner Allianea o News WILL RACE AT PIMLICO.

F OOT BALL elevens of the Capital college group which have en- gagements this Saturday are in the midst of hard preparation. i Coaches are striving hard to overcome defects which cropped up in play in the opsning contests. Head Coach Lou Little has expressed himself as being by no means satisfied with the showing of Georgetown against Mount St. Mary's Saturday, despite that the Hoyas won, 31 to 0. He has warned his proteges against overconfi- dence in their game against Susque- hanna in Clark Griffith Stadium Sat- urday. The Blue and Gray routed Susquehanna, 57 to 0, last Fall. Maryland's squad is practicing ener- getically for its battle with the Univer- | sity of North Carolina in Bryd Stadium. The Tarheels, who overcame the Ol Liners, 7 to 6, last Fall at Chapel Hill, apparently have a better eleven this season. The College Park battle will be the first real big game of the local scason | and it appears likely that the capacity of the new Maryland stands, which is about 8,000, will'b> tested. Tickets for the game are on sale at Spalding’s. George Washington's squad is in fine condition for its opening game Satur- day against Fordham in New York. Lopeman, who has a slight foot injury, is the ione player not in the pink. Clapper and Sanders are virtually cer- :ain to start at fullback and quarterback, respectively, for the Colonials. From Barrows, Lopeman, Frazer or Berkowitz the starting halfbacks will be picked with the first two named having the edge. Champa, backfield ace, who was the only Catholic University player to be injured in the Boston College game Sat- urday, is expected to be ready for serv- ice against American University Sat- urday. He suffered a hurt leg. Coach Springston is working his American University squad hard in the hope of making a creditable showing against the Cardinals. SOLDIER FIELD TO SEAT 106,000 AT GRID BATTLE CHICAGO, October 2 (#).—Construc- tion of permanent seats on the north end of Soldier Field will be completed in time for the Navy-Notre Dame foot ball game October 3. Accommodations will be made for 106,000, while several thousand may occupy seats in temporary stands.

Coach Mike Kelley is hustling his Eastern High grid charges along in pre- paration for their game Friday after- noon against Emerson at 3:15 o'clock in the Eastern Stadium. Showing of Eastern against Calvert Hall of Baltimore in the season's opener for the Lincoln Park scholastics last Friday, when the teams fought to a 6-6 tie, was satisfactory to followers of the Light Blue and White. Calvert Hall, which has its usual husky eleven, defeated Eastern in 1927, 17 to 7. This afternoon Eastern was to scrim- mage against the fast Winton A. C. eleven, which plays in the 150-pound and unlimited classes. Action was to start at 3:15 o'clock. Hard work also is in order these days for the other schoolboy elevens of the local group which have engagements over the week end. Aside from the Eastern-Emerson bat- tle, Central and Devitt are to clash in the former’s stadium at 3:15 o'clock and Gonzaga is to entertain Calvert Hall of Baltimore on Georgetown Uni- versity varsity fleld. Both contests should be well contested, the game | between Central and Devitt having | aroused unusual interest, as it will| bring together these old foes of the | gridiron after several seasons in which | they have not met. Sevéh teams will compete in the annual junior high school champion- | ship soccer ball series, which will start October 29.

First in interest to the race fan, with the advent of the horses at Laurel, will be the new steel grandstand, a model of service and convenience, with a seat- ing capacity for 12,000 persons, and the most pretentious system of mutuels at any Eastern track. ‘Woods Dickerson, track manager, sent out word last week that the 1,200 stalls at Laurel all were engaged and that owners shipping there without reserva- tions would have to find quarters out- side the track.

With permission secured to broadcast, the Navy authorities have relay stations at Arlington and on the Pacific Coast to send play-by-play description of the Navy athletic contests. ‘Word was received here from all of the seven seas saying that reception had been perfect through every play of the Navy's battle with Davis Elkins. Saturday Ensign Jacob C. Schwab, one of the assistant grid coaches, sat in the press box and described the plays to thousands of service enthusiasts and others_who chanced to tune in on the play.

PAUL R. MICKELSON, Associated_Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, ctober 2.—Another bone-crushing machine which will gather ~devastating mo- mentum as the season ad- vances, is Minnesota's threst to its Big Ten gridiron rivals this Fall. Gone are several of last year's stars, among them Herb Joesting, the pile- driving fullback, who romped through, over and around the opposition to make Minnesota one of the Nation's most| powerful elevens, but into their mole- skins have stepped a new crop of ball luggers and linemen who promise to write another saga in foot ball achieve- ment for the Maroon and Old Gold. Coach_“Doc” Spears, at times as glum as Bob Zuppke of Illinols, has met with several setbacks so far this sea- son, the principal one being ineligibility of Harold Barnhardt, the chunky little half, who was one of the best blocking backs in the Middle West in 1926 and Nagurski Is Sensation. At‘b.gaesun‘g's post, l;ma of the ubpes_l possibilities in years has sprung a brawny youth from the north woods, Bronko Nagurski, a converted tackle, who has been the sensation of the Gopher training camp. The “Big Nag” is fast, and to date Coach Spears has been unable to throw up a line big and fast enough to stop his rushes. other good fullback possibility is a sophomore, Ed Westphal of Little Falls, who has 208 pounds of power and speed. In Fred Hovde, understudy to Quar- terback “Shorty” Almquist last vear, SPears has a capable general, but he is F\ang to use him as a signal-calling alf, to act as running mate to Art Pharmer, a veteran. Hovde and Phar- mer have formed a reversible passing combination that has worked many successful aerial gains in practice. Several likely candidates are out for quarterback. Line Also Is Strong.

A, AN HEALTH SMOKE CIGARS “'Cigar smoke is cool, so will not affect throat,” says prominent specialist 'HE princi| doctors on the staff of this leading hos- pital were interviewed—each who used tobaccodn any form smoked ci There can be no stronger evidence that med- ical opinion favors cigar smok- ing. Cigar smoking is not a mere nervous habit. Cigars are smoked for the taste, the com- fort and the solace they yield— slowly and leisurely. One is not lighted from the end of an- other, nervously and hurriedly, so the day’s end does not find the cigar smoker tiredand irri- table dueto an exhausted nerve condition. A cigar need not be inhaled in order to enjoy the rich, ex- isite taste of the tobaccos to full. Indeed, few cigar smokers inhale at all. Thean, too, most of the throat troubles that are so prevalent amongst smokers can be ascribed to the burning, drying effect’ of hot tobacco smoke. To use the words of a well- kaown New York throat spe- cialist: — “Cigar smoke is cool. A cigae is smoked leisurely, and since no quick-burning foreign subs stance is used for wrapper, tobacco burns slowly and is further cooled and filtered as it is drawn through the body of the cigar. So a cigar bhas no tendency to create annoying throat conditions.” Make this test for a week— smoke cigars exclusively and ou will find yourself feeling er, with no cough or throat irritation, improved mnerves, increased vitality and less of that tired feeling. To really test cigars with jus- tice to yourself and to cigars, we suggest the test be made with La Palinas. Since they are America’s largest selh'n;{nigh grade cigar . . . over a millioa a day—you can smoke them, confident that they will please you. The sensational success of La Palina results from an exclusive and secret blend which com= bines for the first time in one cigar an extreme mildness with a rare richaess of both taste and fragrance.
