SP GEORGIA TECH TILT HAS TITLE ASPECT Vanderbilt, Yellow jackets Rated Best of Elevens in Dixie Set. G game of the Southern foot ball season. Neither has been de- feated, and with the possible exception of Tennessee, the two elevens stand out as the strongest in the section. Un- doubtedly one of the biggest crowds of the year will pack the Georgia Tech stadium. Both Tech and Vandy are well coached and probably have in their line-ups as good or better material than any other Southern eleven, except, of course, Georgetown. Both have dis- tinctly different styles of play, Georgia ‘Tech working niost of its offense from a close formation very similar to that used by Rockne at Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt running practically all its plays from a short-kick formation sim- ilar to that which has’ served so well at Michigan. About the only three teams in the Southern Conference which seem strong enough to stand up ainst either Georgia Tech or Vanderbilt are Ala- bama, Georgia. and Tennessee. ‘Ten. nessee has defeated Alabama by a margin of two points, while the only game lost by Georgia was to Yale. Either of these three elevens may upset either Vanderbilt or Georgia Tech at any time. Right now, though, it seems very much as if the Southern champi may hinge on the result of the game Saturday. Last year when the two elevens played -at Nashville the result was 0 to 0, and there is no doubt that both are stronger now than they were then. BY H. C. BYRD.

[OWA-OHIO STATE GAME IS “NATURAL™ Vast Throng Is Sure to See Unbeaten Big Ten Teams in Action Saturday. BY ORLO L. ROBERTSON. Associated Press Staff Writer. CHICAGO, November 8.—One of the largest crowds ever gathered in one of the largest bowls college foot ball ever built was a genuine “natural” carded for its pleasure at Columbus, Ohio, Sat- urday. The two unbeaten and untied teams of the Western Conference, Ohio State and the University of Iowa, will have the afternoon to decide, probably, the 1928 chlmpiomhlp of the Blg Ten. Wis- consin is the other unbeaten school of the Conference, but a tie with Purdue clouds the Badger record. The outcome of the Columbus engage- ment is apt to depend largely upon the ability of the Iowans to stop the over- hud game of Coach Jack Wilce’s Ohio- It was a presistent aerial offense whlch enabled Ohio to tie Princeton last Saturday. ‘To aflsct Ohio’s running and_over- head attack Iowa will present Mayes McLain, plunging Cherokee Indian fullback, and Oren Pape, the fleet-foot- ed back.

C,, November 8. — North Carolina coaches held one of the longest scrimmages of the week yesterday, grooming their charges for a stiff fight with the South Carolina Gamecocks in Kenan Memorial Sta- dium here Saturday. There was just one substitution dur- ing the hour or more of combat.

NOVEMBER 8, 1928 SPORT TOILS DAY A WEEK Steffen Has to Leave Court Bench in Chicago for Ses- sion With Team. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ACKLING undefeated combina- tlons seems to be Georgetown University’s specialty in foot ball this year. New York Uni- versity didn’t know what a lick- ing meant until it was host to the Blue and Gray last Saturday in New York. And next Saturday Georgetown will en- counter another unbeaten eleven in Car- negie Tech in the game at Albany. ‘The Skibos apparently are a hardy lot. They have a record of their own to maintain the same as Georgetown has, and they regard the struggle with the Georgetown machine as an oppor- tunity to establish themselves as one of the great foot ball outfits of the year. The Carnegie Tech crew is quite con- fident it has the punch necessary to |stop Georgetown'’s string of victories, but at that it is not underestimating the ability of the Hilltop team by any means. ‘This Carnegie Tech team certainly knows something of what the Blue and Gray has in a foot ball way. In New York last week there were three play- ers and an assistant coach of the team in Yankee Stadium viewing the conflict of Georgetown with New York Univer- sity. Capt. Harpster must have gotten an_eyeful. So must have Karcis, a stellar back; Dreshar and Waddell, the assistant coach. According to reports, this quartet carried a lot of informa- tion back to Carnegle Tech that is ex- pected to help the Skibos in their clash with the Blue and Gray. Coach Only Part-Timer. This Carnegie Tech team, by the way, probably is the only big college team in the country that doesn't have an all- time coach. = Wally Steffen is nomi- nll}{ the head of the foot ball tutoring staff of the institution, but he only sees his team about once a week, and then not fer long, for Wally is a jndge sitting in the courts at Chicago, and although he thinks a deal of foot ball and dreams a deal of foot ball at such times he isn't listening to legal argu- ments before his bench, he has to stick around his job until Thursday ni:ht of each week during the foot bail On Th\mdly night, however, he boards a rattler in Chlcago and the next morning um out of the berth into Pittsburgh. So Friday always is & big day for the Carnegie Tech grid- deu Then their head coach is on }ob with them. And he is on the job In earnest, too. For Steffen is so wrapped up in foot ball that he seemingly forgets his assistants have been giving the boys plenty work in the earlier part of the week. He has the squad do everything over and about double also. ‘ Steffen is an onumhfle fellow, so optimistic that he his team believe it is unbuhhle. were he around the Skibos all week they probably would feel they are the nuwst lot that ever stepped upon gridiron. Junv. one day of coaching n-om him each week has them keyed to a hll piteh. Fans Not .Optimistic.

Judging from the nature of the program, Coach Steffen has outlined for this week, the ave no intention of playing a strictly defensive game Saturday. ‘Word from Pltub\lrihrevellllhlt for the first time this season Carnegie Tech will take the fleld with every regular available for duty.

APACHES HAVE JoB IN PALACE BATTLE Latter Has Been Fortified for Sunday’s Leading Sandlot Game. PACHES will have to uncover their best offensive Sunday in the second big game of their campaign to retain the District unlimited foot ball title. Joe Ganey has fortified and primed his Palace A. C. eleven for the clash with Bill Supplee’s Little Indians. Bucky O'Neil, stocky back, and Jim Cooney, big guard, formerly of George- town and Holy Cross, respectively, have joined the Palace team, which already d the services of Moose Mosko, an- other former Hilltop line star. Both teams are expected to resort to an extensive lerlnl attack and miost of their work this week has been in perfecting this utyle of attack. Another hard-fought contest may be expected at_ Griffith Stadium Bundav Richmond Blues will face Mohawks with several former Old Dominion col- lege stars in the line-up.

GRID BATTLE NEXT SEASON S LIKELY Growing Desire, 1t Is Said, for Quick Resumption of Relations. EST POINT and Annapolis will meet on the foot ball fleld next year, according to rumors that seem to have sound foundation. With the end of the present gridiron season n the students at both of Uncle Sam’ institutions are beginning to realize how much color their foot ball sched- ules lack without the annual game that had become the classic of the sport, and all are eager to have the contest re- stored to the lists in 1929. ‘The Cadets and Midshipmen last met in foot ball at New York last Fall. Prior to the encounter, it was an- nounced that no 1928 epggagement would be listed, as West int had failed to reach an agreement with the Annapolis authorities regarding eligibil- ity rules for team membership. Navy had adopted the rule limiting a player to three years of participation in col- legiate competition, the rule prevalent among colleges of the first rank, and insisted ugon its adoption by Army. ‘When ‘the break came after every ef- fort to prevent it had been made by Government officials and Congressmen, as well as the institutions themselves, it was feared athletic relationship be- tween West Point and Annapolis had ended for years. Now that the students at both places are yearning for a re- sumption of the big game, however, the matter sogn may be adjusted. According to Joe Villa, awm editor of the New York Sun, who has been in close touch with the situation, the break will be healed in time to have & game between West Point and An- napolis next Fall. ° Here's what Villa has to say: “There seems to be little reason to -doubt the underground report that Army and Navy soon will patch up their differences and ee o play foot ball next year. re is a growing desire lor new relations in both branches of Uncle Sam’s service. “Cadets at West Point and An- napolis are said to be urging peace and are suppurud by many influ- ential Army and Navy officers who deeply regret that the annual game will not wind up this season as Iormer:{‘ “Nothing of an official nature concerning the prevalent sentiment at the rival academies has_ been made public. But the Sun is in- reliably that ovmurud u::r peace are being discussed an t an amicable nuun.mmt of eligi- bility rules is possible. “Army and Navy will return to action on the gridiron in 1929 unlesu something unforeseen happens to arouse a new feeling of bna\‘.mty Resumption of the foot ball nme between the cadet.s md the men would be f the National c-nlul.
