26 Georgetown Has Trying Schedule Ahead : Army Driving Toward National Title HOYAS ENCOUNTER FOUR STRONG FOES New York U. Game This Week Big Test for Team Held Better Than Rated. C weeks—New York University, Carnegle Tech, West Virginia end Fordham. The Blue and Gray undoubtedly has a strong eleven, but if the performances of these four op- ponents are continued, then the Blue and Gray certainly will need every- thing it has. And, incidentally, George- town apparently has a better team than most people think it has New York University comes first on the list, that school being scheduled Saturday in New York. And what New York University did to Colgate was about everything that could be done. ‘When Coach Lou Little of Georgetown heard of that 47-to-6 result it is a dollar against a pinhead that his eyes opened pretty wide and he said, “Holy mackeral!” At least. that is what Lou usually says when he hears something that astounds him. And if anybody ever expected New York U. to beat a really strong Colgate eleven by such a score, that somebody was never brave enough to venture his opinion for pub- lic_print. Then comes Carnegie Tech on No- vember 10 at Albany. All that school did last week was trim Pittsburgh, which usually is a mouthful more than most good teams can chew. And West Virginia, with two substitute backs, handed Lafayette a jolt by 17 to 0, and West Virginia also had previously ‘whipped Pittsburgh . Fordham will not be as strong as any of the first men- tioned three to be met, but after three Saturdays such as Georgetown must face there is no telling what kind of condition the regulars are likely to be in. G. U. Underestimated. Georgetown has plenty of opposition in front of it. Of that there is not the least doubt. Just what it will accom- lish is only a matter of conjecture. t may be that it may hit a brilliant stride and beat New York U., undoubt- edly one of the greatest elevens in the country. One thing sure, the Blue and Gray is & better foot ball team than people have been giving it credit for being. Reports of the game in which Duke University was decisively defeated last week indicate that some persons at- tribute the big score to Duke’s weak- ness rather than to Georgetown's strength, but be that as it may, it nevertheless is a fact that Duke has been playing_good foot ball against good teams. It also is a fact that no other school has been able to defeat Duke so decisively. And it might as well be remembered that Duke barely was defeated by Navy and that Navy beat Pennsyl- vania, supposedly one of the strongest elevens in the East. It is pretty sure that Georgetown did not beat Duke 35 to 0 without some real strengtl back of its drives and behind its de- e nse. Little probably has scouted New York University effectively and will start this ‘week bending his energies toward devis- 4ng a defense for S band of stalwarts BY H. C. BYRD.

The Brooklanders’ played good foot ball and the game was one of the contests in which either team might be victor. No better illustration of the peculiar- ities of modern foot ball could be given than the Yale-Army game. Yale made 17 first downs, apparently rushing the ball up and down the field consistently from the start of the contest until the end, while Army made only six, yet Yale was defeated by three touchdowns to one. Long runs by Cagle, brillian Army back, were responsible in the main for Army scores, and where Yale took several first downs to march 35 or 40 yards, Cagle took only one to go the same distance. ‘With Cagle in the backfield, Army is a constant threat no matter where it has the ball. That young man is likely to break loose and sprint down the field for a score at any timie. He may be stopped 10 times, yet on the eleventh attempt he gets loose and is gone. Army apparently watched Garvey more ef- fectively than Yale did Cagle, but the fact is that Cagle is much more danger- ous when he gets in the open than Gar- SPORTS.

The Tarheels must have got going too rapidly too early in the year, because vey is. Garvey will make more short gains than Cagle, but does not have the ability to run in am open field that Cagle possesses. ‘That game shows that almost any- thing is likely to happen in a foot ball game as now played. One team may have another backed up against its goal line for a whole quarter or a half and get no score and within the space of one minute some fleet back on the team that has been on defensive may break loose and run almost the length of the field and change the whole aspect of the contest in a few seconds. Just two weeks ago the University of Maryland, for instance, against South | Carolina, had one first down registered against it in the second half, yet had two touchdowns scored against it, Vanderbilt must have a great eleven. It ran up 27 points against Virginia in the first quarter, and after that had a lot of second string players in the line- up. Just how big a score Vanderbilt could have won by, had it desired to win that way, of course, will never be known but with due regard for Vanderbilt's strength it ought fo be mentioned that Virginia had a badly crippled eleven on the field. It did not put within 30 per cent of its full strength against Vanderbilt. Virginia has the material for a good team, but last week its own coach, Earl Neale, felt that his men would not be able to dp much. In a letter to a friend here he said “I am hoping that we shall do against Vanderbilt than I expect to, as better | power as lately they have been ving their troubles. Wake Forest and Maryland were whipped in the opening games, but since that the Tarheels have gone down before Harvard, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Georgia Tech, all of them teams to be sure. But even so, Carolina has not done as well in its last two games nor shown as great strength as it indicated it would early in the year. Washington and Lee took a beating at the hands of Tennessee to the tune of four tou~hdowns against one. The Genr-nls apparently do not have a line cap~b’» of standing up against a set tof forwrrds sveh as that which wears the Ternecssce cclor ton found the result decided by one of the unusual ways of scoring, by a field goal. That method of fimnu points has been discounted considerably since the goal posts moved to the end line, adding 10 more yards that kicks must travel to cross the bar. Princeton is going through a season somewhat unusual for it. Roper has seldom tried to show his full strength early in the year, and has managed to win his games without so doing. This Fall, though, he did not do so well against Virginia, but the following Saturday wiped up Lehigh. Then last week the score against Cornell, especially as Cornell has not seemed to be particular- The game betwecn Cornell and Prince- | ern held the strong Eastern team to & 6-0 victory, and with the additional talent just gained available against Tech is apt to offer the clever proteges of Hap Hardell a most interesting aft- ernoon. Last season Tech was able to beat Western, 6 to 0. In fact, for sev~ eral campaigns the foot ball games be- tween Tech and Western have been unusually hard fought. Eddie Brownfield, fast back, and Draper, Cook, Webb, Greve, Cox and Bowman, linemen, are boys who have been gained by Western who are ex- pected to bolster the Georgetowners markedly. The personnel of the Tech team has not been affected by the ad- visory marks. In other games involving schoolboy teams of the District group scheduled this week, Forest Park High of Balti- more and Eastern will meet at Eastern, Gonzaga and Georgetown Preps will clash at Garrett Park, Md., and St. John’s and Catholic University freshmen will try conclusions at Brookland on Friday. In games Saturday, St. Alban’s will entertain Dunham School eleven of Bal- timore on the St. Alban's field and Emerson will travel to Staunton, Va., to engage Staunton Military Academy gridders. Foot Ball Briefs Fats Spears of Minnesota has never been a small-time coach. He was line coach at his alma mater, Dartmouth, in 1917, but Cavanaugh resigned the head coaching job and it was pretty much up to Spears, But he was not formally made head coach until 1919. He had a great year in 1920 and then went to West Vir- ginia as head coach and made that team famous. This is his fourth sea- sen at Minnesota. Glenn Thistlewaite and Northwestern University came to the parti of the ways at the end of the 1026 season i because the school wouldn't give him a long contract at a better salary.

Clem- son has bowled over six opponents in a row, rolled up 133 points and main- tained an inviolate goal line of its own. Only one other leading college, Texas Christian, has had the opportunity to win as many as half a dozen games and taken advantage of it.

In other matches yesterday St. Stephen’s and National Preps battled to a scoreless tie and Mercurys handed Peerless a 12-0 setback. Janneys, whose loss yesterday was their first in four league starts, regis- tered a protest which will be considered at a meeting of league officials shortly. Mohawks came through with their touchdown in the final period when Dellar crashed over the goal line to end a drive down the fleld. Padgett kicked goal. Play had been nip and tuck until this stage. Wiltshire was the whole show for Mercurys in their triumph over Peer- less. He scored both his team’s touch- downs, registering the tallies after he and his mates had got the ball in position.

HOULD. boys in high school play foot ball? When boys ask me this ques- tion my .answer is, “Yes, pro- vided the coaching and training you will receive are the right kind.” We have all heard the explanation, “burned out in . high school,” - when some college, player fails to live up to the promise which apparently he dis- played on the prep gridiron. But I greatly question the idea that it is pos- sible to “burn out” an athlete by per- mitting him to compete during his high school years. ‘There are more plausible reasons than this traditional one. Some of the so-called prep stars who disappoint their admirers reached maturity earlier in high school. They were older boys competing against younger, and in those years a difference in ages means a great deal in competition. A Case in Point. I recall the case of two sprinters who came to college, one considerably older, from whom great things were expected on the strength of his prep performances, which had overshadowed the younger athlete. The older lad de- veloped to a certain degree, but he aid not do as well as the younger, so it was sald that he had “burned himself out.” But both had trained and competed to an equal extent. The fact was sim- g_lav that the younger boy matured later. e older athlete had not used himself u}), but rather had reached the peak of his possibilities. Can a boy hope to make good in university foot ball who has never played in high school? Yes, it is pos- sible, but he will be under considerable disadvantage in mastering technique, which has come to be second nature to most of his rivals, When a golfer steps up to the tee and swings you can usuaily tell whether he has played all of his life or started after he was 23 years old. Still, there are exceptions. I recall “Shorty” Drayer, one of our tackles in 1921, who hardly knew what a foot ball looked like when he reported for prac- tice. It took a lot of work to poMsh his playing, but if he could have competed more than one season I believe that he would have become known as one of the best tackles in the United States. If the boy who has had no foot ball experience has competed in other sports he will take to foot ball better. Kes Deimling, one of our ends last season, had never played until his junior year, but his basket ball ex- perience dating back to high school was of great value. But don't mistake my meaning—it is far better to play foot ball in high school. i Has the high school foot ball team as much ability to learn as the varsity? Some coaches make this statement, but I disagree with them. You see I coached prep teams for seven years and perhaps have had more experience with them than most university coaches. You can teach a high school team the same brand of foot ball as a col- lege team, A 16-year-old boy can learn the game as well as a 19-year-old. The difference between the teams is a few years, speed, strength and the degree of abllity to execute, all of which are naturally with the older athletes, Few Serious Injuries. Most of the injuries in foot ball are surface bumps. My experience has been that there were fewer injuries in high school than college foot ball. The preps don’t tackle each other so hard and their bodies are pliable. The big- ger boys are often comparatively soft. MONDAY, OCTOBER 1928. SPORTS.

ALKING ‘with the wife of a coach who in the Middle West hds won“a goodly proportion of his games, but has not had the " miraculous fortune to win all of t' q°, Marvin Stevens, the Yale men- to.. vemarked this Summer that he had never been kept awake worrying over results. The good lady, who wonders each season what roof will cover the family next ygur andshow she and her hus- band anti her several little children will be fed, was quite impressed. So much so that she reported the remark to her husband ‘by way of citing an example of sangfroid which she hoped. might prove influential in settling a nervous system which each Autumn develops symptoms psychopathically unpleasant. But the coach merely raised his head. “Marvin,” he said, “has been an as- sistant coach until this year. We will hear his testimony later.” The writer knows of some highly ac- complished teachers of foot bail who are so content with their lot as assist- ants to head: coaches that under no condition would they change their jobs. They are quite willing to let some one else shoulder the burdens and meet the agonizing mental wear and tear which are major elements in the Autumn ex- istence of their chiefs. On October 13 in Chicago in a hotel lobby sat Knute Rockne. Knute still had his smile with him and his ready humor, but he was clearly under a strain. He was under a great strain. He admitted it. “It's going to be tough game” he sald, “and this is a bad spot for Notre Dame to lose in. Yes,” he added, “I'm nervous, all right, but if you want to see a nervous man go over and look at Bill Ingram.” The writer_did not follow the sug- gestion, but Bob Higgins, scouting for Penn State, did and he says that the Navy coach was nervous all right. They say Navy Bill has lost 16 pounds since lead. Of course, Knute Rockne had no reason, save love of alma mater and personal pride, for nervousness over the outcome of the Navy game, or any other game.

EW YORK, October 29.—West Point’s gridiron forces, having hurdled the two main Eastern obstacles to its advance by downing Harvard and Yale in succession, now need only to conquer Notre Dame, Nebraska and Stanford to clinch as good a claim as any eleven to national championship honors. It takes an army to even face such a prospect with resolution. And plenty of reserves. The Cadets have come through the October fray suceessfully, beating Southern Methodist as well as Harvard and Yale, but also somewhat bruised and battered. Two of their aces, Capt. Sprague, All-American tackle, and Red Cagle, who looks at the moment like an All-American halfback, were injured in the battle with Yale. There is the prospect of & breathing spell for the West Point regulars this week, in the game with De Pauw, but not.much let-up after that. Notre Dame, although not up to former high stand- ards, is moving along and will give the Cadets plenty of trouble at the yYankee Stadium on November 10. Ne- braska probably will come East Novem- ber 24 with the championship team of the Missouri Valley “Big Six,” while Stanford, making the long trek to play Army here December 1, may carry the Pacific Coast Conference title banner. Chevigny and Niemiec of Notre Dame, Blue Howell of Nebraska and and Biff Hoffman of Stanford will be hurled at the big Army in an attempt to succeed where French of Harvard and Garvey of Yale failed. Cagle Brilliant Runner. If Army is to be regarded as the fa- vorite of foot ball fancy this season its | child of destiny certainly seems to be | Christian Keener Cagle. Cagle will be | the counter-threat for Howell, Chevigny, Hoffman and the rest. He seems capa- ble of fulfilling the role. Not since Red Grange ran rampant on Franklin Field three years ago has an Eastern gridiron seen anything to match the elusive, slithering runs of Cagle against Yale. Red combines the best features of & flippery eel and a frightened deer at arge. While the Army hopes to get its sec- ond wind this week, the gridiron cam- paign moves along to another serfes of tests having a decisive bearing on title hopes, coupled with a renewal ¢f out- standing intersectional rivalries. New York University and Georgetown, each victorious in five straight ‘games and traveling at terrific clips, clash in New York next Saturday in the main battle, so far as Eastern championship hopes are concerned. These two high- scoring juggernauts will determine which is to remain up with Army, Car- negle and Boston College, among the other major Eastern elevens neither beaten nor tied. Nebraska Faces Kansas. In the “Big Six” group, Nebraska, after smashing the title hopes of Mis- souri, plays the only other undefeated eleven in the race, Kansas. The Corn- huskers expect to win, inasmuch as they conquered Jowa State, = which ,held Kansas to a tie last Saturday. -» Another crucial battle in the South- western Conference, involves the Uni- versity of Texas and Southern Metho- dist, both undsfeated in ence competition so far. . The Pacific Coast Conference focuses upon the Stanford-Southern California game, one of the most spectacular in sight enywhere this week. It should have a decisive bearing on the con- ference title race while California is ente: Oregon in another vital contest. The Southern Conference has. some- thing of a let-up this week, with com- paratively little opposition ahead for most of the pace-setters—Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Clemson, Florida and Georgia. In the Western Conference “Big Ten,” Illinois will attempt to hald ifs place in the vanguard by dealing Michigan its fifth straight sctbacky while the other two leaders step out of confer- ence circles — Ohio State meeting Princeton and Iowa playing, South Dakota. Intersectional Clashes. ‘Three of the “Big Ten” elevens will help furnish the week’s intersectional color on their own battlegrounds. Be- sides the Ohio State-Princeton fray at Columbus, Chicago will entertain Penn- sylvania, surprise victim of the Navy last Saturday, while Wisconsin meets the invasion of Alabama. Notre Dame, after a day at home, journeys forth again, this time to play Penn State at Philadelphia. —_————— FRENCH JOCKEY DIES.
