34 SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1928. SPORTS." College Gridmen Here Preparing for Saturday : Eastern High Athletes Are Busy HARDEST SESSIONS *ARE SLATED TODAY Only Scrimmages of Week Were Carded for Some of Local Squads. I lanned to get in their hardest grnls of the week today and tomorrow. This afternoon Georgetown Univer- sity’s varsity was to scrimmage against the Hoya yearlings. Yesterday Head Coach Lou Little had his charges hard at work polishing plays and passes. Georgetown plays Susquehanna Satur- day and should have an easy game. With the recovery of John Hudack #nd Steve Barabas, backfield stalwarts, from injuries, Georgetown's strength behind the line is measurably increased. Ralph Duplin and either Johnny Scalzi or Joe Gardner at quarterback are regu- Jar backfleld performers in addition to Hudack and Barabas. « Another lighter backfield, the mem- bers of which are exceptionally fast, also is_at hand, including Johnny Bozek, Eddie Leary, William Maczus and Roy Williams. It is probable that Charlie Dodson ayill be back at an end position when Maryland meets the powerful North Carolina University eleven at College Park Saturday. Head Coach Curley Byrd has been trying to convert Dodson into a halfback, but has about decided that it would not be the part of wisdom to do away with a fine end for a fairly good halfback. Thus it appears that Dodson will be ‘Al Heagy's running mate on the flanks in the big battle with the Tarheels. Bill Evans, who showed well against “Washington College last Saturday, is apt to get Dodson’s post at right f- back, though Byrd so far has made no definite selecton. By putting Dodson back at end B{;fl will have Lombard, who has been filling the left-wing job, ready for action on the ends or at tackle. SANDLOT GRIDDERS PRIME FOR BATTLES National Press Building Cardinals, aspirants for foot ball honors in 126 and 135 pound ranks, will elect a cap- tain and transact other business at a meeting tonight in suite 1170 of the National Press Building. Herb Hoover, who coached grid teams at the Uni- versity of Oklahome and Tulsa Uni- versity some 10 years ago and who has been secured to coach the team, will speak to the squad. The session starts at 8 o'clock. Buck Johnson, manager of the team, is seeking games and is especially anxious to card Don Grist's Collegians. Call Cleveland 4831 or Cleveland 6042 for arrangements. Both the Mohawk and Apache elevens, leading unlimited title con- tenders, are making final plans for their OOT BALL elevens of the Capi- tal college group, all six of whom are to see action Saturday, Ace of Tarheels JIMMY WARD, Fast and speedy halfback, who will play fot North Carolina against Maryland at College Park Saturday. He not only can run with the ball in approved fashion but he does most of the punt- ing and is a good passer and defensive player. 128-POUND GRIDMAN FLASHES AT VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY, Va., October 3.—Vir- ginia may or may not have a great foot ball team this season, that remains to be seén, but the play against Randolph- Macon in the opening gamé shows that the Cavaliers are going to have a color- ful combination. South Carolina, conquerer of Chicago, is to be played on Lambet Field Satur- day. That Sloan and Close can run as well this year as they did last season was clearly shown in the opening con- test. This game brought to the front two youngsters who are on the varsity squad for the first time—Smith and Haden. - Smith was a star at Tome two years ago and played with the freshmen last season. Haden is from Palmyra, Va. He was ineligible for the varsity last Fall and is now in uniform for the first time. Haden weighs only 128 pounds and stands a few inches above 5 feet, but he is fast as a flash. TARHEELS POSSESS PENTYOFTALEN Not Only Have Great Eleven, but Have a Wealth of Good Reserves. CHAPEL HILL, N. C., October 3.— North Carolina will present a power- full, well balanced eleven with plenty of reserve power against Maryland in the Southern Conference game at Col- lege Park Saturday. There's no doubt about the Tarheel line being better than it has been for a number of years and the backfield has shown considerable versatility in carry- ing the ball North Carolina backfield, presents a number of clever men. Ward, swarthy skinned and wiry little halfback, was the 1unning and passing leader in 1927, and h- continues to do good wark. Other backs include Gresham, six-foot halfback: Whisnant, quarterback, and Foard, stocky fullback. That does not list the galaxy of soph- omores and youngster material that understudied on last year's squad. A glance at the offensive drives against Wake Forest will show repeated men- tion of Erickson and Wyrick, sopho- more quarterbacks; of Maus, Strudwick Nash, Jackson and Spaulding, half- backs, and Harden and House, full- back: ) North Carolina line this year is built around the stalwart figures of Capt. Schwartz, frequently mentioned as an All-Conference center: Shuber, veteran guard; Farris and Howard, hefty tackles, and Sapp, 180 pound end. Outstanding among the new linemen are Holt and Fenner, ends; Warren, Ad- kins and Koenig, tackl Blackwood, Eskew and Hudson, guards, and Lips- comb, center. North Carolina uses an adaptation of the Notre Dame type of foot ball, with its wide open, sweeping attack. W.-L. HIGH EXPECTS WINNING GRID TEAM BALLSTON, Va. October 3.—With six veterans and a large number of ex- perienced candidates from whom to select his team, Coach J. F. Wilson is optimistic over the prospects of Wash- ington-Lee High Schoo!, which begins its season next Friday in a game with George Mason High School here. Wilson is confident that the Gen- erals will retain the third athletic dis- trict of Virginia championship. Capt. D. Young, fullback: McPherson, quarterback; Connor and Hogan, tack- les, and Hall and Hood, guards, are the regulars of last year's team still avail- able. ‘While the rougher rudiments of foot ball have not been entered into Jer- maine, halfback; Goodwin and Harri- son, ends; Mortimer, tackle, and Rob- inspn, H. Crouch, Hines, Chewning, L. Gonyea, H. Gonyea, Stoneburner, G. Crouch, Fisher, Via, Stewart, Allen, King, Chase, Nelson, Summers, Bailey and Swartz, all of whom are suited for line play, are showing up well. opening contests Sunday. Bill Supplee will drill his® Little Indian squad at ‘Union League Park tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. His team meets Fort Wash- dngton there Sunday. crnlg ‘Wilton has secured the services of Jeff Seitleiff, former Chattanooga end, for his Mohawk eleven. He is ex- pected to fit well into the new Hawk machine, which is composed almost entirely of former collegiate players. Hawks will idle for the remainder of the week. Capital City League teams will make final plans at meetings tonight and to- morrow night. Teams which will open the 135-pound schedule Sunday will meet tonight at 424 Ninth street at 8 o'clock. The 150-pound teams will be represented at a meeting tomorrow night at the Post at the same time. ‘Teams interested in obtaining franchises in either circuit are asked to send representatives. Arbutus A. A. of Arbutus, Md., is seeking games with local teams in 130- pound ranks. A Thanksgiving day game to be played here is especially sought. Arrangements can be made by writing Joe Holland, Linden and Leeds avenues, Arbutus, Relay P. O., Md. Meetings are scheduled for Janney A. C. and Mercedes players tonight, Janneys will gather at Janney School at 7:30 o'clock, and Mercedes will meet at 14 Montello avenue at the same hour. Mercedes seek 135-pound foes at Lin- coln 8331-W after 6 o'clock. National Prep and St. Stephen’s 150- pound elevens will scrimmage tonight on Georgetown Prep Field. Northern Preps drill at 7:30 o'clock on Park View playgrounds. ~Clarendon Lyons hold drills tonight and Friday at 7:30 o'clock and at 10 o'clock Sunday. Columbia$ will drill tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock on Plaza Field. Coaches Jack McAuliffe and G. Baillie Springston of the Catholic University and American University squads, re- spectively, which will meet Saturday in the Brookland Stadium, were to get in vigorous drills today, as was Gal- Jaudet, which is to meet Temple in Philadelphia, and George Washington listed to engage Fordham in New York. All doubtless were to engage in some rough work today. TICKETS AT WEST POINT. ‘WEST POINT, N. Y, October 3.— Maj. P. B.

NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW HAVEN, Conn., October 3.— For a part of this Fall, at least, one tall, slim, blond youth, moving hatless through the grounds of the Yale Medical School, will have something on his mind besides pathology and physiology. He is Mal Stevens, head coach of Yale's foot ball forces, and has only that ex- cuse to offer for missing a signal at this time of year in one of his clinics. That excuse probably would be all that s necessary. Twenty-eight years old, this drawling, slow-smiling son of Yale's own foot ball school has taken over the coaching reins passed down by Tad Jones, molder of mighty elevens. Only six years ago this Fall Stevens carried a pigskin under the arm that now lugs weighty books, and did it ex- tremely well. [ ‘Today he strides among the candi- dates for another Yale team, a long- ley , loose-hipped figure with a base ball cap perched jauntily on his sandy hair.. He can catch passes better than his ends, show the best of his backs something about running the ball and kick yards farther than the ace of his booting staff. Yale no longer can use Mal's prowess along those lines. His job is to pick up the regulars left from a team that won equal recognition with Pittsburgh as the Eastern champions last Fall and build around them from the veteran material at hand another bulldog eleven worthy of Yale. He has lost Stew Scott and Dwight Fishwick, great ends; Bill Webster and 8id Quarrier, from a stonewall line; Bruce Caldwell, Bill Hammersley and Cox, famous halfbacks. He stiil has Johnny Hoban and “Hoot” Ellis, quar- terbacks; Garvey, L&mpe, Decker and Miller, halfbacks, and Hubbard and Dunn, at fullback. A wealth of reserves are back to re- build the line. Odt, McEwan, Godman and Crile will take care of the ends; Marting, Capt. Eddy, Ladd and Vin- cent are big, rangy tackles, and Charles- worth 1s one of the finest centers in TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN'S, 7th & U.S.TIRES oV CREDIT No Red Tape No Embarrassment Bring Your Car Registration Card Get Your Tires on the Spot 1234 14th St. N.W. 2250 Sherman Ave. N.W. 634 Pa. Ave. S.E. Yale Has Array Despite Loss of Many Stars of Material, ‘Two veteran guards, Hall and “Firpo” Greene, the only man in Yale history who ever sprained both ankles from walking on his hands, have reported with injuries that soon will heal. Hall cut his foot with an ax while chop- ping wood this Fall and the quaint Greene broke a finger when a calf kicked him while he was punching cows on a Midwest ranch. Last Fall some one told Greene he could strengthen his wrists by walking on his hands. He toppled over and sprained both ankles, and did not recover until near midseason. Stevens, assured of splendid material and lots of it, will stick to the foot ball system he learned under Tad Jones. There will be much smashing of op- posing ends and tackles, wide sweeps around the wings, and the deadly criss- cross passing game Yale opponents have learned to fear. Lateral passing will be thoroughly tested. v “The big trouble I find with coach- ing, though, is the ‘human equation,’ the tall Kansan says. “You can give the boys everything in the world to work with in the line of plays and teaching and still you never know what they will do. You can teach them, but they must go out on the field alone. You can't play for them, too. BECAUSE 1T'S THE VERY BEST Prepare Delicious Foods with RED TOP PLAIN or HOP FLAVOR At All Dealers! BY HORACE C. RENEGAR. Associated Press Sports Writer. JARLOTTE., N. C., October 2 (#).—The lean years have been many and long for the foot ball teams of the South At- lantic_seaboard, but apparent- ly they're ready to take a place in the Dixie sporting sun this season. The splash South Carolina’s Game- cocks made Saturday in del:ating Alon- zo Stagg's Chicago Maroons is still beat- ing the eardrums of gridiron fans in the South, while Virginia, North Caro- lina, Virginia M. I, and Virginia Poly are also in that class of “seemingly ar- rved.” In recent years the followers of vari- ous teams in Virginia and the Caro- linas have seen their elevens run to Yale’s Best on Grid Is Cut-in Off Tackle BY SOL METZGER. Years ago when Hector Cowan ran with the ball for Princeton a defensive end, noting him take it, began yelling, “Here he comes! Here he comes!” Which was quickly changed to “There he goes! There he goes!” as Cowan tore past him for another touchdown. So it goes when Yale gets her cut- in-off-tackle play working smoothly, as she did for two touchdowns against Harvard last Fall. I can still see Hammersley tearing for one of them, a long end run down the right side of the field. Fine dodg- ing or weaving plus interfererice that hits hard makes the play possible. It would not surprise anyone if Yale used it for a few scores against Maine today. Every foot ball oppo- nent knows it. Yet that rareiy helps in stopping it. The ball is passed to No. 1, who breaks for the opposing right end as though on a wide run. This move gives the line time to get into the interference. Backs Nos. 2 and 3 go straight out and smash the de- fensive left end. No. 4 back helps the end with the defensive left tackle. Nos. 7 and 8 come out from the line and No. 5 goes through. It takes fine blocking by the remain- ing linemen and a deal of speed on the part of the running back to pre- vent the opposing linemen mussi up the play. That, plus fine inter- ference, is all there is to this power- ful play that has been Yale's de- pendence for some years. For more than 20 years Sol Metz- ger has been identified with foot ball. He has observed. In a leaflet, “Diet and Training for Foot Ball,” he shows what a necessary part diet plays with success on the grid- iron.

Grid Teams in South Atlantie Section Show Unusual Power greenswrd awthi high hopes, only to see a general crumbling around the 1st of October. The Cavaliers, buoyed high only a year ago, saw their hopes dashed by Georgia; Wake Forest for four years has been the nemesis of North Caro- lina; South Carolina has usually met reversal from the outset, and by that time the teams were discouraged—call the psychology what one may. Display Real Strength. Meanwhile the big elevens in the lower portion of the conference—Geor- gla Tech, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Geor- gla—were reveling in early season vic- tories and gaining the necessary con- fidence for bigger game. No overcon- fidence, however. This year it's different. South Caro- lina has toppled Chicago, North Caro- lina demolished Wake Forest, Virginia gained overwhelming impetus against Randolph Macon, Maryland swamped ‘Washington College, Clemson continued to show at least the necessary margin— and so on. Washington and Lee and Poly Institute, North Carolina State— all showed an offensive of the first magnitude. Only Virginia M. I. disappointed its followers in being held to a tie by Rich- mond, but reports are to the effect that the Flying Squadron used only four plays against the Spider, and Georgia Tech is confident that others were be- ing saved to present for the Tornado Saturday at Grant Field. On top of all that Georgla Tech is throwing aside a precedent of many years' standing. The powerful machine of Bill Alexander is to invade Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, before the month is over and doubtless a record crowd— possibly 30,000—will see the Blue and White meet the Gold and White. And, understand, Georgia Tech will be glad to get that game out of the way—it's a mental hazard and more. The Tor- nado nor the Tarheels can save back. One must meet Notre Dame and the other, North Carolina, must invade Cambridge to play Harvard. Virginia and Carolina teams will have their chance to show the conference many things before December, but an even greater chance for glory remains in the intersectional battles ahead. ‘Washington and Lee and Virginia will tackle Princeton, Maryland meets Yale, North Carolina will try Harvard, Vir- ginia Poly has a shot coming at Col- gate and hopes to make it two straight; South Carolina has broken Chicago— and so on. For individual stars there are too many to name, but a few can be enum- erated. There is Barnes, the great Vir- ginia Military Intsitute triple-threat half- back; Peake, the ground-gainer de luxe of the Gobblers; Zobel, the fleet South Carolina back; Roberts, at Maryland; Sloan and Close, Virginia halfbacks; ‘Warren, the plunger of North Carolina s!nl'e. and a whole setup at Chapel Doubtless South Atlantic foot ball will be heard from with a bang dur- ing 1928. And when the conference champions and all-Southern selections come up they will have to be reckoned with, aplenty. SCHRIDER, TECH GRIDDER, SUFFERS HURT SHOULDER Another member of Tech High's foot ball squad was hurt yesterday when Schrider, promising halfback, suffered a dislocated left shoulder, which prob- ably will keep him on the sidelines a week or two. Alfred Reichman, another clever member of the Maroon and Gray squad, who received a broken collar bone a few weeks ago, is about ready for action again, but Coach Hap Hardell is undecided whether he will permit him to rejoin the grid squad, being desirous to have him at his best for track, in which sport he is a star.
