SPORTS. GREAT CREDI{ DUE TOLITTLE, MECHAN Their Coaching Has Raised Hoyas and Violets High in Gridiron World. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, November 3—That such institutions as George- town and New York University would have teams battling in a game bearing distinctly on he Eastern college foot ball champion- ship was something not even dreamed of only a few years ago Not so far back, only the big colleges fought for championships. The lesser b i B AU TIA YL N Can Tigers’ Defense Stop “Crazy” Passes ‘ | { fry had to be content with such fame as | could be achieved in a small section of the country. Yet in a few years George- town and New York University have sprung from comparative obs occupy & place with the big fellows the gridiron sun, thereby making pos- gible the contest in Yankee Stadium to- day that means a high ranking in na- tional as well as Eastern foot ball for | the victor for the time being If ever two foot ball teams came up from the depths, Georgetown and New York University did so. And to two| men goes most of the eredit for the up- | lift. The rise began with the advent| of Lou Little at Washington and Chick Meehan here. Before these men as- sumed the coaching jobs at Georgetown and New York University, respectively, | each team thought it had gone through a fine season if it won the majority of games with opponents not nd the crowds played to usually were to be numbered in the hundreds rather than | the thousands. Coaches Effect Reforms. Once Little got to work at Georgetown, | & surprising form reversal took place. | And the change at New York University | was just as abrupt after Meehan as- sumed the foot ball helm. Since Little landed at Georgetown, the Hoyas up to this season lost but three games in three years and their defensive record is one of the best m the country. Little, formerly a star tackle at Pennsylvania, always has stressed defense, but he never has neg- | lected to develop a vigorous attack. His teams each year have been leaders or ner the top as scoring machines. [ Only Pennsylvania, Navy and Syra- | cuse trounced Georgetown during the past three years. Penn did it in 1925, getting a hard-earned triumph over the Blue and Gray with a field goal. The next year Navy took the measure of Georgetown at Annapolis, but only with a very questionable touchdown. There are many who attended the game still | believing that Allen Shapley ran out of | ‘bounds while going through the field to | a Navy score. Last year, Syracuse sur- | prisingly jolted Georgetown. It's a great record Little has at the Washington in- stitution. Meehan's progress with the Violet is equally astounding. In the past two sea- sons only Nebraska was able to score over New York University. In 1925, the | first year Meehan was with New York, his team scored five wins and tied with Columbia in a great battle that ended athletic relations between the two insti- tutions. Meehan started a team today that ‘was composed of gridironers big enough | to make Georgetown seem an under- sized high school outfit. From end to end, the Violet line was big, with a capital B, and there was nothing par- ticularly small about the backfield. Lots of brute strength in that New ¥York . aggregation and much good foot ball, Veterans in the Line. Capt. Lassman and Grant, tackles; Myers, a guard, and Barrabee, end, are veterans of previous Violet teams and have held their positions all season without being troubled by aspiring can- didates. George Sargisson, the sopho- more guard, originally was a candidate for a tackle position, but Lassman and Grant, with their greater experience, crowded out the husky Iowan. But Sa n was too good a lineman to play a substitute’s role, so Meehan tried him in the guard berth vacated by the graduation of John Bunyan. The soph took to his new position quickly and has been-in there since the outset of the cam i Schneider, the sophomore center, was pressed closely for a long time by Col- 1ins, understudy to the regular varsity pivot last year. The big soph's 40- pound advantage in weight more than offset Collins’ greater experience to win him the job at the start of the season. Since Schneider is said to have made rapid progress under Meehan’s guid- ance. Nemecek at end, O'Herin at | quarterback, the sparkling halfback Strong and Hill and Follet, fullback, complete the regular Violet team. And back of these eleven Meehan has at his command two pretty good teams. All around, it's a fine squad New York Uni- versity has and it ought to make many foes realize its worth.

Instead, No. 4, receiving the snap from center, ran back and tossed a pass over the line to No. That was the beginning of a scheme of plays that spread over the country like wildfire. West Vir- ginia's coaches took up the forma- tion and spent a month perfecting it. It won several signal tictories for them, overwhelming both Prince- ton and West Virginia Wesleyan. The direct ult was that Bill Roper, the Tiger coach, and Earl Neal, the Virginia pilot, formerly a West Virginia Weslevan player, saw possibilities in the formaticn. Vir- ginia used it last year, so did Roper against Yale. So, it is likely that both teams will work plays from it today, when they meet Wash- ington and Lee and Ohio State, re- spectively. Diet often stands between victory and defeat. You can't expect to win at foot ball by overeating and under- sleeping. You must fearn the value of regulation.

NEW YORK November 3—The con- troversies which were understood to underlie numerous shake-ups in Amer- ica’s 1928 polo “big four” came unex- pectedly to the surface yesterday with the resignation of J. Cheever Cowdin, veteran international star, because of disagreement with the policies of the United States Polo Association, Cowdin’s resignation as honorary treasurer and member of the executive committee was disclosed simultaneously with the publication by the magazine Polo of an article declaring “unnec- essary public humiliation was visited upon at least two of the best polo play- ers and sportsmen in America” in choosing the 1928 team that beat the Argentines for the championship of the Americas. Cowdin and Stephen San- ford lost their places in the big series of shakeups. Although the article in Pclo went on to condemn the method of choosing American international teams and urged a change, the controversy appears ended for the present with Cowdin's resigna- | tion, according to J. §. O'Reilly secre- | tary of the association. O'Reilly said | no statement would be made at this | time. None is likely, he added, until | ;Cuwdms resignation is considered by ! i the executive committee, which will not { meet, for some time, Cowdin, who was originally picked to play on both the American defen teams of 1927 and 1928, only to be re- | placed in last-minute changes, said he had no formal statement to make, but explained: I do not agree with some of their policies and would rather they had some one in my place who did.” Veteran of many national campaigns, Cowdin was picked originally as No. 3 British Army-in-India_team for the International cup in 1927. Before the matches got under way he was replaced by Malcolm Stevenson. - Along with the recent series with the Argentine four at Meadowbrook. Again he was replaced, this time by Winston Guest on the American four that defeated the | COWDIN QUITS POLO BODY OF SQUABBLE over the victory; there are nettles in the laurel. Unnecessary public humili- ation was visited upon at least two of the best polo players and sportsmen in America. It can be traced to what an increasing number of onlookers believe to be an imperfect method of choos- ing and announcing the personnel of :ehal is called the ‘United States iy “How imperfect the method is, how humiliating it may be, is better ex- emplified by one small physical fact than by many more important in- tangible ones,” the article continued, and explained that on the day of the opening game with the Argentines, a picture of Sanford as the United States No. 1 was contained in the official programs. The remedy for the whole.situation is contained in suggestions, already made by the New York Times, that choosing the United States team be conducted along the lines foot ball coaches employ, the article said. Under such a plan, an international squad of six to eight members should be named by the defense committee. All should be given equal chances in practice and the starting four named from that squad on the morning of the opening game of the international series. Thus the line-ups could be changed at will as the games progressed without hu- miliation to any player.

Eastern and Tech now are tied for first place in the public high title race, each with two wins and no defeats. Yesterday's setback eliminated Western as a title contender. ‘Though Eastern has captured both its starts the Lincoln Parkers have not shaped up nearly so impressively as did Tech yesterday. The Lincoln Parkers | won both their games by only 6 to 0, one of the victories being over a West- tern team which was weaker than that which Tech encountered yesterday. There has been a sluggishness about Eastern’s play that must be overcome if the Light Blue and White is to turn back Tech, according to the view of many observers. General superiority carried Tech to its Yicwor: terday. The Maroon and Gray exhibited, a well drilled team which showed to advantage generally. It employed a mixed attack and a fine defense. Western was unable to gain consistently, Tech time and again break- ing up the Red and White's plays hardly before they were started. Tech scored its first touchdown in the opening period, added another in the second and put the game in the bag with three more in the third. Holmes Fountain, left halfback, was the ace of Tech's attack, staging many long runs. Eddie Brownfield, Western left halfback, bore the brunt of West- ern’s offensive, but was unable to get anywhere through lack of interference. Holmes Fountain, left halfback, scored in the first period when he shot around | right end for 27 yards with smart inter- ference clearing his path. Drissel place- kicked the extra point. In the second period Goss, fullback, counted on a plunge after a long march. Drissel’s toe again accounted for the extra point. A fumble and two intercepted passes brought the Maroon and Gray its touch- downs in the third period. Drissel scored after a fumble by Capt. Park on a run from midfield, Florence also counted from midfield after intercepting Hunt's pass and Leo Winston, center, accounted for the third tally when he grabbed an allen pass and dashed 35 yards.

ALEXANDRIA ELEVEN WINS OVER W.-L. HIGH ALEXANDRIA, Va, November 3.— After a year's absence from the throne as king of the Northern Virginia foot ball colony, Alexandria High School returned yesterday afternoon by defeat- ing Washington-Lee High School, 12 to 0, on Hoxton Field, thus gaining the championship of section A of the Third Athletic District of Virginia. Three thousand saw the contest. Paul Travers was the mainspring of the Alexandria attack. His 50-yard run on the kick-off opening the second half started the winners on a drive that did not terminate until Hancock ripped k | through the General's forward wall for a touchdown. A forward pass, Travers to Williams, t| was grounded on the attempt to add the extra point. Washington-Lee threatened when it recovered a fumble on Alexandria's 15- yard line late in the fourth quarter, but the threat was short lived. The Maroon and White held for downs. Then Trav- ers, Green, Hancock and Gallagher took the ball steadily up the field. Travers finally scored on a short plunge. ‘West missed a placement kick on the try for the extra point.

WOMEN IN SPORT ship to the Girl Scout Little House, 1750 New York avenue, Main .9429, Marion Barrett has been re-elected captain of the Gypsies, the independent sextet which gave such a good account of itself last year in the Washington Recreation League circuit, in which it was making its maiden appearance. ‘The l?ll;d plans to play again this year in the league circuit, with most of the 1927 players back in the line-up. C. Virginia Diedel, chairman of the hik- ing section of the Women’s City Club sports group, has appointed Catherine Vaur, Agnes McNutt, Jewell Glover and Betty Leaf to serve on the committee with her. Under her direction the com- mittee is arranging for a series of fea- ture hikes throughout the Winter months, to be staged once a month. A treasure hunt and trophy feast will be held by the entire sports section of the club on November 11 at Dower House, the ancestral estate of the Lords Baltimore, near , Md. Registrations for the treasure hunt are being received at the Women’s City Club, 22 Jackson place. The Red Tri- angle Outing Club is co-operating in making arrangements for the event, to which members of both clubs are in- vited. The grcup will meet at the Wom- day, November 5. Julia Demming, manager of the tournament, states that each individual sorority menager will be responsible for organizing her squad and having it on the floor at the time scheduled. Miss Demming has not yet announced the schedule, but will have it posted in the university gymnasium, on H street. Each team is permitted by the rules of play to have two alumnae members on its squad. All players must have a doctor’s examination before participat- ing, according to Eugenia Davis, faculty member, who will supervise' the event. Girl Scouts who pass the examinations as Red Cross life-savers in the future ill be qualified in the use of the life- boat as well as in the actual rescue work in the water. Through the courtesy of Commodore William E. Longfellow, the Red Cross lifeboat has been put at the disposal of the local Girl Scouts and lifeboat drill has been added to the program of instruction for the Life-Sav-. ing Corps, which is a part of the G Scout swimming club formed recently. The club meets each week on Wednes: day afternoon in the K street Y. W. A. pool. Beginning and advanced | swimming instructions are given and each member of the club is eligible to enter the life-saving class when she has become proficient in the preliminary class work. With a total club membership of 50, the club hopes to turn out 30 qualified life-savers by next Spring, according to. Dorothy Greene, Girl Scout director. Miss Greene states that all registered A en's City Club at 1:30 and will begin the hunt promptly at 3 o'clock.

Bob Barnett and Arthur B. Thorn will attempt to accomplish tomorrow afternoon what no local professional combination has been able to do over a stretch of several months. The two star professional golfers from Chevy Chase and Town and Country are hopeful of turning back the invasion of J. Monro Hunter and George Diffenbaugh in an 18-hole exhibition affray scheduled to start tomorrow afternoon at Town and Country at 1:30 o'clock. The match will be the last scheduled appearance of Hunter and Diffenbaugh in action in a formal match this year, and if they win tomorrow they will have gone through the season without a de- feat by a local pair. They have been beaten, but the lone defeat handed them was rather a tricky affair, in that neither Hunter nor Diffenbaugh knew anything_about the course at Clifton Park, in Baltimore, where two amateurs downed them two weeks ago. They are not overly familiar with the Town and Country Club course either, but at least they have had the oppor- tunity to play it several times in ad- | vance of the match. The contest Is gpen to the public, without charge, and Uresident Kaufman of the Town and Country Club hopes to see a large gal- lery to watch the match. Semi-final rounds in the Slamese Cup competition at the Chevy Chase Club were reached yesterday with the playing of three of the four second contests. The second round matches resulted as follows: D.

A physician took several stitches in the tongue following the fight. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y.—Sam Bruce, Nash- | ville, Tenn, knocked out Kid Blair, Utica (3).
