Georgetown in Line for Eastern Title : Minnesota ¥leven Hard Hit by Injuries ARMY TEAM STANDS OUT |88 0F NAGURSKI MUST BEAT.Y.L. TORETAIN CHANCE Carnegie Tech Also a Con- tender Should Army Meet Defeat. B BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Bports Writer. EW ‘YORK, October 30.—There are a half dozen games on this week’s Eastern foot ball calen- dar ‘to give “pigskin followers their custontary quota of thrills, but only one of them will have much bearing on the sectional championship ht. At the moment it aopears that in the event Army's dashing, powerful squad - eventually meets defeat, the clash of Georgetown and New York University at the Yankee Stadium next Saturday will go far toward deciding where the mythical Eastern title will go. It will not be el-decisive, how- ever, for both must meet another good team before the final curtain is rung down. Carnegie Tech, as yet unde- feated and untied, meets Georgetown November 10 and N. Y. U.'on Novem- ber 24. Army Now Favored. The championship struggle thus seems to lie among these four—Army, N. Y. U, Georgetown and Carnegie Tech—but if the Cadets march through the rest of their schedule as success- fully as they have to date, there will be few to dispute their right not only to sectional, but national honors as well. Army gets a breathing spell this week, tackling an intersectional foe in Depaw at West Point. Princeton, un- beaten, but tied by Virginia, will get its biggest test of the season at Columbus, Ohio, where rugged Ohio State must be encountered. Notre Dame comes east to tangle with Penn State at State Col- lege. Each has been beaten twice. Pennsylvania, its title hopes blasted by Navy, goes West to meet Chicago, more or less of a doormat in the Bg ‘Ten this season. Colgate, which al has played Vanderbilt. Virginia Poly and Metzger Describes 3-Men-Out Play BY SOL METZGER. Back in 1915, Elcock, former star Dartmouth linéman, then coaching ‘Washington and Lee, surprised the foot ball world with a new forma- tion — the three-men-out. It beat West Virginia and all but toppled Cornell, the one championship eleven Cornell ever produced. Dr. Al Sharpe, now at Washington Uni- versity, then Cornell's coach, was Eved from defeat by timely scout- 3. The three-men-out formation caught every one napping. It over- whelmed the standard types of de- fense, just as had the Idaho spread a decade before, which “Hurry Up” Yost a year later brought East to Michigan, but without good results. Elcock’s team merely put two backs, Nos. 2 and 3 in diagram, and the left end, No. 6, out to the right some: 15 yards from tackle. The end was on the line of scrimmage, the two backs were behind it. Thus all three were eligible to receive - passes. His fullback, No. 4, played 10 yards back of center. The quar- terback, No. 1, was under center. His position there forced the op- posing line to remain in position. ‘The . three-men-out merely ran Michigan State, takes on another in- tersectional opponent in Wabash. Although both have suffered defeat, the Yale-Dartmouth clash at New Haven will not lack for interest. Yale lost by two touchdowns to Army and Dartmouth by a similar margin to Har- vard, but that is not another way of saying they have weak teams. Army is a match for any one, and it appears that Harvard may be the same. Har- vard has no one harder than Lehigh to beat Saturday. i Cornell-Columbia in Duel. Cornell and Columbia, victims of Princeton and Dartmouth, respectively, are preparing for a duel of their own at Baker Field. A strong Syracuse ag- gregation, nosed out by Nebraska and tied by Penn State, takes on Pittsburgh, which already has lost to West Vir- ginia and Carnegie Tech. ° Brown, hard put to beat Little Tufts last week, may find Holy. Cross even tougher, but Navy, now apparen started on the right direction, should dispose of West Virginia Wesleyan. Lafayette will battle Washington Jefferson under somewhat strange con- ditions. Usually this contest has one team or the-other in-the eated «down the field, two turning in, when the play was first used. Later West Virginia and then Princeton took it up, highly perfecting the scheme of plays. But before that let me show you tomorrow another scheme El- cock worked with this formation. ‘Through years of coaching Sol Metzger has learned a few simple (Copyright. 1928.) SOCCER SERIES STARTED.

BY HORACE C. RENAGAR, Associated Press Sports Writer. ATLANTA, Ga., October 30 () — Thirteen foot ball heroes flitted across the Southern Conference horizon last Saturday in long jaunts to touchdowns to bring a day of thrills for fans in all sections of Dixie. These big hit-and-run men of the gridiron stamped off some 802 yards to make the afternoon one of the dizziest of the season, in so far as running at- tacks are concerned. Goodbread, substitute Florida half- back; Hackman, Tennessee sophomore halfback, and Armistead, Vanderbilt captain, were the leading three of thi set of gallopers. Goodbread slipped around end for 72 yards behind perfect interference once and came back a little later for a 74- yard return of Warren's punt. Hackman romped Washington and Lee's kick-off back 94 yards for the longest run of the day, while Armistead went 57 yards for one touchdown and ran a Virginia kick-off back 87 yards for another. Eight Other Thrillers. Seven other scampering dervishes added the other eight thrillers, Camp- bell of Alabama taking a 25-yard pass and going 35 more, Smith of the Crim- son Tide also running 55 yards across the Suwanee goal line, Fitzgerald of Georgia Tech sidewheeling 37. yards through North Carolina, Jones, Golden Tornado end, taking a 15-yard pass and running 35 more across the last en- trenchment of the Blue and White; Mclver, Tennessee’s other sophomore flash, slipping 55 yards; Ingram of Au- burn romping 67 yards against How- ard, and Mcllwaine, Commodore star, turning in one, for 52 yards. While these behelmeted warriors led the parade, a‘flock of others cashed in with runs of the same sensational class, although most of them were caught short of the goal. Outside of the conference the boys were having a big day, too. Bucky Moore, the Dixie Fiyer, who makes long runs for Loyola of New Orleans, chip- ped in with a 98-yard exhibition of gains against the University of Missis- sippi. It was the longest straightaway of the season in the South, with the exception of McEver’s run of equal dis- tance recently against Alabama.

MISTY MAID IS VICTOR IN FIELD TRIAL DERBY FAIRFAX, Va., October 30 (Special). —Misty Maid, belonging to Allan ‘Val- entine of Richmond, placed first in the Members' Derby of the sixteenth annual field trials of the National Capital Field Trial Club held yesterday in the Cen- terville course in Fairfax County. Princeton, owned by Virgil Hawes of Harrisonburg, placed second and Queen Shenandoah, belonging to Frank Miller of Winchester, was given third place. A gold wrist waich was awarded to Mr. Valentine, silver wrist watches being given the owners of the other winners. The first three braces of the Mem- bers’ All-age were run yesterday after- noon. Officers of the Club report an abundance of birds and conditions in every way satisfactory for the tests.

Knapp, counsel for the late Jack Dunn and the Baltimore Orioles, has been elected presiden of the base ball club to succeed Dunn, who died suddenly last week. Knapp imme- diately announced that, following upon an appraisal of the club’s holdings, the company would be open for bids. At the meeting of the directors held in Knapp’s office it was decided that no manager would be appointed at this time, although the club will be kapt in operation until a purchaser is found. 0% of the Doctors interviewed on © NewYork —are Cigar Smokers La Palina éis America’s lfty/L Grade Ct]al‘ [over A MILLION A DAY ] its outstanding popularity is the best proof of its unusual quality Selli/y est F the doctors interviewed 3 on the staff of this lead- ing hospital—all smoked ci- gars. There can be no more conclusive testimony to the smoking preferences of men whose lives are dedicated to the preservation of health, and whose professional duties de- mand the physical fitness of the athlete and the mental alertness of the scientist. Cigar smoking cannot be a mere nervous habit. In the slow, leisured smoking of the cigar is the taste, the comfort and the solace that are tobac- co’s greatest gifts to man. One cigar is not lighted from the end of another, nervously and hurriedly. The most taxing of duties find cigar smokers keen and alert after hours of unflagging concentration. The full, rich flavor of the cigar is satisfying to the taste of most smokers—without in- haling. Observation proves that few ever inhale. Throat troubles that are so prevalent amongst smokers can beattributed to the scorch- ing, drying effect of hot tobac- co smoke.

SANDLOT GRIDMEN HAVE HEAVY CARD Program for Sunday Games Well Balanced—Merry Battles Due. NDEPENDENT send-lot foot ball teams plan to stage a well bal- anced program Sunday. Apaches are expecting to drub Reina Mer- cedes, and Mohawks will be heavy favorites over St. Mary’s Celtics, but other unlimited and 150-pound teams are slated for merry battles. Southern Preps will clash with Seat Pleasant Firemen in one of these tus- sles. Palace A. C. expects a heated bat- tle from Seamen Gunners. Northerns will not meet Wintons, however, as planned earlier in the season. Patsy Donovan and Craig Wilton, Mohawk bosses, plan to get their eleven into tip-top shape by Sunday, as they expect the hardest battle of the cam- palgn when St. Mary's Celtics are en- gaged in Griffith Stadium. Babe Con- naughton, George McCabe and Dud Saur, former Georgetown stars, will be seen with the Celtics. Celtics boast the strongest team in recent years, and both the Apache and Mohayk teams are anxiously watching the Alexandrians. Reports from Annapolis indicate that the Reina Mercedes eleven, which took a 28-to-0 drubbing from Palace A. C. last Sunday, will be much improved by the time the Sailors meet Apaches at Union League Park Sunday. Last year the Seamen staged an unexpected rally and defeated the Mohawks, so Coach Bill Supplee plans to drill his Apaches this week to meet any emergency. Wintons have scheduled a game with Apaches for November 18 at Union League Park. Manager Goldberg wants a foe for Sunday. Coach MacCatheran will drill his squad at Virginia Avenue playground tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Call Columbia 9446 for games. Coach Orrell Mitchell will drill his Southern A. C. squad at Sixth and B streets southwest tonight at 8 o'clock. Mitchell says his_eleven will be at its best when Seat Pleasant Firemen are engaged Sunday. Seamen Gunners will face a_high- powered scoring machine in the Palace A. C. team. This latter eleven defeated Quantico Marine Post eleven, 19 to 0, then held Seat Plesant in a 6-all tie before drubbing Reina Mercedes Sun- day, 28 to 0. All Columbia A. C. players are to re- port in uniform for drill tonight at 7 o'clock on Plaza playgrounds. Planskys, 115-pounders, who tied Co- lumbia Heights in their last start, want games. Call West 500 after 5 o'clock. FIELDS, BAKER TO BOX FOR CRACK AT DUNDEE LOS ANGELES, October 30 (#).— Jackie Fields, flashy Los Angeles boxer, and Sergt.

Mlld enough for IN EASTERN BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, October 30.— Now that - teams throughout the country have completed their October schedules, the critics ‘may peer through the clearing murk of early season form and gain a fairly definite idea of the status of gridiron affairs, Various teams have emerged from the ruck, holding at present a position in the .vanguard. Others while still lagging have yet that chance which November games hold of pulling up with the leaders, while still others seem already to have established themselves as unsuccessful. EAST. Army stands out just now as the Eastern leader. It is a rugged, hard- hitting, foot<ball-wise outfit, supremely well coached and possessing in Chris Cagle of Louisiana the greatest back in the comntry.’ Yale, despite her beating by West Point, gave in that game splendid prom- ise of standard mid-November and late November form. The team has been kept back by injuries, but its present power and versatility should not be underestimated in terms of the future. Harvard was loosely knit against West Point, but none the less, as the writer said last week, gave promise of slashing form which materialized against a fairly strong Dartmouth team. Harvard will come fast from now on. Princeton, it should be borne in mind, is the only major eleven in the country which had not been scored on. This means more than may appear on the surface. . The Tigers have been carefully building for November games, taking everything in their stride. They may show more against Ohio State than most persons expect. New York University has done well, but as yet has met no major elevens. At the same time, it may be sald that her play warrants her to rating in the major classification. Carnegie Tech has yet to meet an outstanding eleven, Pittsburgh, her best opponent thus far, is below form. But the Skibo eleven looks exteremely for- midable. Navy is beginning to show her in- herent ‘power. November may well re- deem those disastrous October Satur- days. Middlewest. Ohio State leads just now in the Western Conference. Unquestionably 1t is one of the best Buckeye elevens in a decade. The team combines power and speed. - The same may be said for Iowa. Illinois has a sirong plugging team. It is interesting to note that the conference schedule demands that Ohio State play both Iowa and Illinois. So an interesting Big: Ten situation will be cleared up this month. Ohio State may be a step ahead of Iillnois, but there is nothing to indicate that she Pol:l.my margin of superiority over Wisconsin’s tie game with Purdue was a bad setback, but she has beaten Mich~ igan and has a chance for redemption in games against Minnesota and Iowa. ebraska may well be the star eleven of the midlands. Her power is almost unbelievable and now versatil- ity is beginning to show. Her one great hurdle, as it s~cms, will be the Army on November 24. This will be a game. Far West.

NEW YORK, October 30.—A story of how the country’s leading college foot ball scorer passed up a chance to boost his own total so a teammate could make a touchdown is told by his coach, Chick Mechan. Ken Strong, New York University's great halfback, is the hero. “In the Colgate game,” said Meehan, “just before we made our first touch- down we were penalized five yards for taking too long in a huddle.” Do you léimw what was going on in that hud- e? “Here was this young fellow Strong, the leading scorer, to whom every touchdown probably means a chance for greater fame, arguing that Follet should take the ball instead of him- self. He thought it was the best play for Follet to go through the right side of center.” Follet did take the ball, but was stopped after a short gain, and it was Strong who made the touchdown, sweeping around the Colgate right end. Strong is 22, weighs just less than 190 pounds, is an inch more than 6 feet tall and is studying business in New York University’s downtown school. He was quick to disclaim any credit | for a story-bock hero stunt. He wanted Follet to take the ball because he thought it was the better play, he re- iterated. “We've got a fine line and great inter- ference. That's what makes these touchdowns possible,” he added. GRIFFITHS M;\KES DILLON CHICAGO, October 20 (#).—Jerry “Tuffy” Griffiths has turned back a Canadian light-heavyweight threat and added his fiftieth straight ring victory. ‘With comparative ease the Sioux City, Towa, youth outpointed Harry Dillon, former Canadian champion, in 10 rounds at the Coliseum last night.

BY PAUL R. MICHELSON. Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, October 30.—Minne- sota’s gridiron machine, which has been bonecrushing its way to triumph for two years, today was crushed ijtself—crushed not only out of the Big Ten foot ball championship, but crushed physically, It's biggest battering ram, Bronko “Big Nag” Nagurski, suffered such a severe spinal injury in the Iowa game that he may be lost to the Gophers in- definitely; Duke Johnson, guard, was incapacitated with badly wrenched muscles in an automobile accident after the game and the team in general was somewhat shellshocked, making its come-back campaign a difficult one. Of the injuries, it is feared that of Nagurski's is most serious. Nagurski was hurt in the second period of the Iowa game, but refused to complain until the game was over. A cursory examination indicated that he had fractured a bone near the lower end of his spine. But what was gloom at Minnesota was cheer at Northwestern, where Coach Dick Hanley's Wildcats sensed a ¢hance to break into the Conference win col- umn for the first time this season by whipping Minnesota Saturday. North-* western came out of the gruelling Ili- nois game in splendid physical shape and with added confidence. Cold Stops Practice. Cold weather stopped much of the practice in the Big Ten camps yester- day, but today word was sent out every- where that the hardest workouts of the campaign were in order. Ohio State erected large hts for its practice field and plln% to work by night in preparation for the invasion of Princeton’s Tiger Saturday. ‘The Buckeyes came out of the Indiana 1 fray in splendid physical shape except for Leo Raskowski, star tackle, who jn- jured his ankle. He may be out of the Princeton game. Wisconsin's line was bolstered by the return to good graces of one of its “bad boys,” Joe Kresky, veteran guard. Gene Rose, star halfback, who was suspended. with' Kresky for breaking rules, may get back this week. Coach Glen This- tlethwaite plans to bolster his offensive this week for Alabama’s invasion Bat- urday. Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinols is t- ing for a_substitute for Kés Dim‘n' at end. Diemling was injured in the Northwestern game and is expected to be out of the line-up for two wesks.. , however, was free from in- juries for almost the first time this year and was to send its full strengtn against the Illini. More injuries have bobbed up at Chicago. Proudfoot, giant Maroon tackle, and Ken Small, the only reliable center in Coach Stagg’s line-up, both may be out of the Pennsylvan geme. . Towa, Indiana and Purdue rested uj yesterday. The Hawkeyes probably use reserves against South Dakota Sat- urday, as will Purdue against Case, while Indiana has an off day. ¢ «+ .+ and yet they Satisfy* critically you will find no hint of harshness, but a certain mildness, with a rich, wholesome flavor.
