SPORTS. ‘Western Threat in High-School Series SHOWS STRENGTH DESPITE 601055 Apt to Trouble Other Title- Seekers—Eastern Snares Pass to Triumph. l public high school championship series a deal of opposition was strikingly demonstrated yesterday when the Georgetown scholastics gave East- ern the toughest sort of battle before succumbing, 0 to 6. Western in its next game against . y tional capable players eligible for serv- ice. Yesterday the Red and White eleven had just 13 eligible boys available. Despite that Eastern now is setting the pace in the series race with two victories in as many starts, Tech re- mains the choice of many observers to gain the title. In defeating Western by a lone touchdown, which was also the margin of their victory Central in the opening game of the series, the Lincoln Parkers have failed to show as impressively . as many expected. In neither game has Eastern exhibited an apapreciable punch on attack, and especially yesterday its showing in this department was not so good. Eastern in Tecn will encounter an eleven which not only has a strong, varied offense but a stalwart defense, and Eastern doubtless will have to do better if it is to turn back Hap Hardell's Maroon and Gray proteges. Ben McCullough, fleet halfback, scored Eastern’s touchdown yesterday in the second period, when he snared a pass thrown by Mike Hunt, Western fullback, and, with good interference, dashed 55 yards to register. McCarthy's kick for the extra point was blocked. McCullough gained additional glory in the fourth period, when again he intercepted a Western pass as the boys in red were staging theiv most serious scoring threat of the day, and carried the ball from his 20-yard line to midfield. A few moments later the final whistle blew. Other than McCullough's run, & 30- yard dash by Capt. Billy Wood and & forward pass that netted a first down, from Wood to Chalkley, Eastern was helpless before the fighting Western line. However, Western also was lack- ing in offensive strength and was pow- erless against the husky Eastern for- ward wall, Line-Up and Summary. Positions.

ARNCUR LAY DEGEL N AT Pros Are Opposing to Help Open New Golf Club at Staunton, Va. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. Tommy Armour and Leo Diegel are making their last appearance in this section of the country for some time in a match this afternoon at Staunton, Va., to mark the opening of the new Stonewall Jackson Country Club. The match may be the last big time exhibition for Tommy Armour in this sector for some time, for rumor has it that the graceful Scot will not be with ueur Congressional Country Club next year. Diegel, who won the Professional Golfers’ Association title three weeks ago at Baltimore, was in Washington yesterday, dropping in at. Chevy Chase to give Bill Hardie, Bob Barnett's club- maker, a little present, calling Fred Mc- Leod of Col and mmy pair left last night for Staunton. Donald Parson of Yo town, Ohio, medalist in the Ghevyumu tourna- ment of four years back and a formid- able antagonist at Pinehurst, also was a visitor to Washington yesterday, dropping in at Chevy Chase to inter- rupt his trip South long enough for a round of golf.

Charley McVean, fast quarterback, and Larry Pinckney, ' fullback, each of whom scored two touchdowns, were leaders in the Purple's attack. Bussink, Pyne and Lee accounted for the other touchdowns. McVean also did some notable booting, drop-kicking for the extra point following five of the touch- downs. Emerson and Tome Institute were to clash this afternoon at Port Deposit, Md.,, in the lone gridiron game of the day volving a District scholastic eleven. Practice has been started by candi- dates for Benjamin Franklin Uni- versity’s basket ball team. The school was, represented on the court last Win- ter dor the first time. Phil Kline, former Central High ath- lete, is playing a backfield post for the Mercersburg Academy eleven. Under direction of C. R. Moore, who is relieving Dan Ahern as basket ball coach at Western, candidates for that school's court quint are down to prelim- inary practice. Anthony Latona, for- ward, and Mike Hunt, forward or guard, are dependables available from last sea- son’s team. Wilson, Garber and Doyle are stalwarts who have been lost. Most of the public high school elevens apparently have gained more players than they have lost as the result of arks for the first advisory, which will be posted Monday. Business expects to Jose Les Jones, Pete Loftus and Ab Shapiro, regulars, and Ben Katzman, Morrls Kasinoff and Biondi, reserves, but the other schools apparently will gain more than they will lose. Eastern expects to gain Everett Oxley, a quarterback of experience; Joe Healy, lineman; Frank Miles, back, and Mades, a lineman. Western will secure Draper, Cook, ‘Webb, Greve, Cox and Bowman, line- men, and Brownfleld, back, it is ex- pected Central expeots to gain St. John, a back, and Merman, a lineman. Willing- ham, another clever player, also will be available, but whether he will play is doubtful. GEORGIA TECH TO START ITS SECOND TEAM TODAY CHAPEL HILL, N. C.

EW YORK, October 27.—The champion New York Giants of the National Professional Foot Ball League have a half dozen prize exhibits to disprove the popular idea that pro foot ball players are too tough and too wise to get hurt. Earl Potteiger, busy little coach of &he Giant outfit that won the league tle last season, will stack up his list of cripples against the casualties of any college squad in the country. As a consequence of the bad start that has seen some of the team’s leading stars handicapped or forced out altogether because of injuries, the Giants’ chances for a repeat victory do not look so bright. About the hardest blow dealt the team was loss of George Murtagh, luct of Georgetown, who has been Giants’ regular center for two years. He was out of the last two games with & broken hand and the Giants lost both games. Cal Hubbard, 250-pound mem- ber of the Geneva team that beat Har- vard, filled Murtagh's place, but he is primarily a guard. Murtagh's regular understudy, Max Reed, who played last with the Prankford Yellow Jackets, been out himself with a dislocal shoulder, Because of a bad knee, Century Mil- stead, all-American tackle at Yale, the | not been playing up to his great form of last year.

Kenneth Guyse, Rochester, Minn., * have long been of interest to golfers. Abe works on the theory that the air offers less resistance to a ball than turf, so he ly picks them clean and propels them upward into space. Many sound players tell me that nearly ail tremendous drivers drag the club back with the straight left arm, the ds le: on the back- swing. This is a_habit with Abe. It is also noticeable in the back- swing of Jess Sweetser, the Ameri- can amateur star who had won both the United States and British ama- teur titles. Abe believes in keeping the body back of the club on the down swing. His theory is to throw the head through so fast ahead of the hands that latter, with the body, are pulled into a follow through. Slow-motion pictures of Abe's club coming into the ball show that his drive is principally a throw through of the clubl , the snap of the wrists being so great as to cause the head of the club to bend the shaft. Thus at contact his club- head is leading nov only hands and body, but the butt of the shaft, as shown in the sketch at the right. To cure a habit of slicing you must first learn the cause.

The former George- town foot ball and track luminary, who is playing his first pro season, although he has n out of college for some years, weighs 220 and is heaviest full- back in the league. The most serious injury of all was suffered by Al Bloodgood, once of Ne- braska, The lightest man on the team, the 148-pound back suffered a broken shoulder on the ggenlnl kick-off in the game with the Chicago Bears. Even Capt. Steve Owens, 245-pound tackle, who had gained a reputat! as an iron man by playing two years with the Giants without having to call for time out, was not proof against the jinx. He was hit on the head in the first five minutes of play in the first ville and was unconscious for five hours. Potteiger has an explanation at least for the leg injuries. He says most of them occur because the pro athletes report for play without the long period of conditioning which college players undergo. Just now the ‘Giants, who play Gibby MOTTOW, day, rank only midway in the standing, with a record of two victories and two has | defeats. Meanwhile, Benny Friedman and his Detroit Wolverines have been providing the big noise of the circuit.

The long anticipated battle between Iowa's Cherokee charger, Mayes Mc- Lain, and the “Minnesota Mutilator,” Bronko Nagurski, had a wet fleld as a battleground for the ponderous smash- ing backs. Minnesota’s 2,000 voyagers and Iowa’s thousands of home-comers cast an ap- prehensive look at the skies, fearing that overnight rains might break out afresh and turn the party fnto a naval battle. Experts favored Minnesota, recalling 16 victories in 22 meetings, pointing Fl!f-lflllfl'ly to f the last hree years in scored, while the Gophers have aver- aged 37 points. But McLain, who led the country in scoring in 1926, with 226 points, was not around then and his advent, along with general team improvement, was considered sufficient to cause much Gopher worry, or pos- sibly despair. Both teams are heavy, with Iowa having an advantage of probably eight pounds per man in the backfield by reason of McLain’s 215 pounds and Armil's 190-plus. Armil, reformed fullback, will oppose the lighter and shiftier Hovde at quar- terback. ‘Would Upset Illinois.

He has seen the last two Army-Navy games and has probably had it indelibly impressed upon his memory that the Navy made close battles of each against a more ex- perienced team in each case by timely use of the quick punt. Fur- thermore, when Dartmouth entered the Yale bowl a year ago, right after overwhelming both Temple and Har- vard, Yale turned the tide its way klllx“lw—oflcwrybyuleolnqulnk Yale plays it as shown, the No. 1 back backing up as the ball is snapped and all other teammates blocking pt the two ends. Aganst a 7-2-2 denfense—a defense that utilizes the safety man to Im and passes—such a kick roll for from 70 to 90 yards, as there is no defensive man to catch it. Also look for the Harvard eleven to make use of it today against Dart- mouth, as the latter team often uses the 7-2-2 defense.

October 27.— The largest foot ball throng of the Eastern season to date was attracted to the Yale Bowl today to witness the twenty-eighth gridiron meeting between Army and Yale. The 75,000 seats were sold out weeks ago. The magnet was a colorful battle be- tween foot ball glants that eventually may determine a sectional and perhaps a national championship. Army, with & veteran line and such backfield stars as Cagle and Murrell, has bowled over Boston University, Southern Methodist, Providence and Harvard in succession. Yale, starting the season a week later, has whipped Maine, Georgia and Brown without taking a deep breath. The Cadets were slight favorites in the betting, experts belleving that the seasoned Army aggregation was better equipped at this stage of the season. In Cagle, Army has about as elusive a back as is to be found in the East and the Cadet line is strong. Yale can counter with Johnny Garvey, outstanding running back. It may be possible to stop Garvey, but none of Yale's first three opponents has accomplished it. Dartmouth Is Favored.
