30 SP TWO GUARD BERTHS, ONE WING JOB ARE IN DOUBT Tarver, Washington Boy, to Play One End on Team That Is Clever and Powerful—Catholic U. Picks Eleven to Face Boston College. BY H. C. BYRD. WO guard positions and one end have yet to be filled before thegvnlvelpslty of Virginia finally determines what will starting and regular line-up for its gridiron opening Saturday. laces on the eleven are so outstanding that there has been little doubt all along about them, but the other avail- able candidates are so numerous and so much of about the same g8 Players for other cnllbet that Coach Abell has not better men. 5 Virginia’s backfield will be jus the heaviest quartet in the South as heavy as is likely to be found anywhere. Johnny Slcan, captain, is again at quarterback, and as a punter and all-round foot ball glayer he has few superiors in the quartet that Abel has been using Kaminer and Lewy probably go somewhere between 190 and 200 ounds, while Faulconer is not far from 190. Faulconer is one of he hardest running and driving backs in ioot ball. ‘The two tackle positions have in them outstanding players in Larry Whalen and Hunter Motley. Both were brillian: last year until laid out by injuries. Former Head Coach Earl Neale told the writer last Fall tHat Whalen was the best tackle that had ever been on Lambert Field and that Motley was not far behind him. Neale felt last year that Whalen and Motley would make the best pair of tackles Virginia has had since modern foot ball began its regime. and Abell apparently has about the same opinion. ‘The other two line positions that are taken care of for sure are center and right end. George Taylor is in the pivot position and last Fall he was mentioned by a great many persons for an all-Southern berth. notwithstanding that he was in competition with such men as Pressly of Clemson and Pund of Georgia Tech. Taylor also is a 190- | pounder physically able to take .care | of himself in competition with the best. Turner on One End. | Dick Turner is the outstanding end | who has his place without question Dick formerly played foot ball at Tech | and for two years has been carrying | on in great shape at Virginia. Fas*, | heavy set and intelligent, Turner is about as good a flanker as Coach Abell or any other coach ought to want. It is more than possible that Coach Abell will not reach a final decision as to who will fill as regulars the one and two guard positions until after he has seen several men show what they can do in at least the opening game and possibly until after the game with | South Carolina, which is expected to | furnish a real test. | Virginia begins its season Saturday | with Randolph-Macon, but actually is | building its team with an eye on the South Carolina game, October 5. For | the last two seasons South Carolina | has taken the measure of the Char- | lottesville school and Abell is anxious to | make up for that, even if he was not in | charge then | ‘The Virginia team is not being brought forward too rapidly. It is Abell's policy to work slowly and thoroughly. His type of offense especially is such that fine mechanical precision is «-\ sential to its success. and it takes time | to build up that kind of play. Con- stant practice, over and over, time and again, until the play gets to be routine habit, is the way that Abell builds an | attack. d Virginia's attack this year is pretty sure to show greater mechanic precision and greater consistency than in years. | Catholic University's fcot ball team leaves here tomorrow night for Bostom, | where it opens Saturday against the Boston College eleven. Coach Jack | McAuliffe is not talking much about What he expects of his team, but un- | doubtedly feels that his men are in better shape physically and that they are a far better eleven than at this time last season. In fact, McAuliffe does not hesitate to say frankly that he knows his team is much stronger than a year ago, al- though he cannot make any prediction | about what it may accomplish against | the team that makes Beantown its home. | Coach McAuliffe this morning an- nounced the nemes of the players who | will start the game. Gerth and Zeno | are to hold down the ends, O'Brien and Rauche are to be at tackles, Mo- naco and Menke at guards and McCabe at center. The backfield will be Mur- hy at quarter, Champa and Kane, gamncks, and ‘Malevich, fullback. O'Connor, Ambrose, Collins, Oliver, McGrath, Smith, Campbell, McNamara, Mullen, Blasi, Lyons, Ogden, Clemens, D'Sopo, De Mello, Bonnett and Guat- nier are others who will make the trip.

The knee injury sus- tained by that player during scrimmage at Ocean City has not healed and seems not to be coming around very satis- factorily.

One of the brightest spots in the game last week was the brilllant puttifig of McCray.

N _the fact that the third “Red” Barron will take his place in the Georgia Tech backfield this season lies matter for thought concerning the relation, if any, of capiHary coloring and complexion to proficiency in foot ball. Early last Fall while this observer was standing on the sideline with Nibs Price, the University of California coach, a rangy boy, swarthy in com- plexion, with coal black hair, ran out upon the field. “That is the type of foot ball player I like,” Price said. “These dark-haired boys seem to go into a game with more fire and hold it longer. They are hard hitters and gluttons for punishment.” Just how Price's experience is shared by brother coaches throughout the country the writer cannot say. But certainly no coach ‘would overlook any red head candidate for his team. No doubt there have been fewer players of outstanding ability whose heads | shown like aurifiammes—when their helmets were off. But this is solely, one suspects, because the type is not so numerous. It should here be noted that Red Grange bore a misleading soubriquet; his hair was extremely flflr‘k. with, however, a glint of auburn n it. Chris Cagle of West Point has red gold hair, and while it offers some tonal difference to the accepted red head type, which is brick red, he may be classed in the general carrot<top category. And they come no better than Cagle, with all due deference to Nibs Price. It is likely, one opines, glancing back | over the illustrious gridiron performers | who have filled headlines, that ability | to strut elusively over the embattled | turf, to crack a line or to perform val- orously and with skill in some forward | sition is less determined by outward appearance than by some mysterious spark Jurking within a man. Certainly Fritz Pollard of Brown, pure African strain; or Jake Slagle, a | blonde; or Eddie Mahon and Eddie Casey, gray-eyed and fair in type; | blue-eyed Morley Drury with his ligl brown hair; corn-colored Biff Hoffmal and swarthy Blue Howell were equally great and equally versatile. The Red Barrons, three of them play- ing for Georgia Tech, are factors in a glorious tradition. That tradition has been buiit by the Judy Harlans, Buck Flowers, Bill Finchers and the rest, all varying in type, but all stout men with stout souls. el GRID LOOP TO START PLAY ON OCTOBER 13| | With organization work completed | the six teams entered in the senior division of the Capital City Foot Ball League and the eight which will com- pete in the 135-pound group are ready to start their respective schedules Oc- tober 13.

The Palace squad will | Eastern Picks Its Grid Team “For Clash With Calvert Hall OACH MIKE KELLEY has about decided upon the line-up he will start against the Calvert Hall School eleven of Balti- more in the Eastern Stadium Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. It will be the first game of the campaign for a schoolboy grid trict group. Tech and Central were other public high teams listed to open their sched- ules Friday, but Baltimore City College and St. John's College, their respective scheduled opponents, have canceled. Both the McKinley and Blue and White elevens are still trying to book opposi- tion for the date. Kelley plans to start Millar at quar- terback; McCullough and Oxley at halves, and Burns at fulback for the Lincoln Parkers against Calvert Hall, Smith will be at left end with Beard, Jenkins or Harper, right end. Capt. Tom Nally will be at left tackle with Montague at right tackle. Mades will hold forth at left guard with Chamber- lain or Hogge at right guard. Shorb or Jimmy Hayden will start at center. Hayden, clever kicker, has heretofore been used in the backfield, but Kelley believes he has possibilities as a center. Oxley rrob-hly ‘will not play in the backfield long as he has not been drilling a sufficient time yet- to be in ]lo&d condition, having joined the squad ate. Most of the above group are seasoned players, though several of them are still shy on experience. B For -the first part of the public hig title grid series at least games will started at 3:45 o'clock instead of at 3:15, as has been the case heretofore. This is because the closing hour of the schools has been advanced from 2:30 to 3. It may be that some arrangement may be made to start the late games of Bewilders Defense With Clever Pass BY SOL METZGER. There is nothing shy about the Chicago attack, even though the team’s supporters cheer, “Chi-Chi- Chicago.” The widely flung wing back in the line-up, No. 2 in this diagram, has on the previous play cut deep into the area back of the defensive center for the purpose of drawing the defensive left half over in order to make a forward pass go for a big gain far to the right. Again Chicago lines up and again the wing back, No. 3, rushes into this open territory back of center. Note how end No. 6 also cuts into it to pull in the right half on de- fense. Of course, the defensive left fooled again pleted. That's just what Stagg’s team wants. No. 2 is clear as a result, and as No. 4 rushes to the right he turns and whips a long forward pass down to No. 2. After such strategy has been pulled a defensive team usually shifts its defense from a seven- man to a six-man forward line. That is, they drop the center into the back field to help break up the pass “’Most diseases get info the body - through the mouth” «But | emphatically state that no smoker of a certified Cremo ever combination of the Dis- | the series somewhat earlier in order to complete them under good conditions, though no steps looking to this end have yet been taken. Business and Western foot ball can- didates got in their first drills yester- ay. More aspirants than were expected reported to both Dan Ahern and Lynn Woodworth, Western and Business coaches, respectively. Around 80 answered Ahern's call. Though Western has lost, at least for six weeks, because of scholastic difficul- ties, several stalwarts, the Georgetown- ers have available Quincy, Owens, Bob Cook, Ed Cook, Gould, Thompson, Mil- lard, Draper, Bob Fletcher and Stans- bury: Lester Jones, Finley, Shapiro, Johnson and Newman are leading members of the Stenog squad. Several who were being depended upon are ineligible, be- cause of faiflure in their studies. wood Jones, forward, is expected to join the squad shortly. Eight of nine games planned for the Business team have been trrlnfed. A contest with St. John’s of this city will complete the card, which follows: October 1—Emerson. October 4—Swavely. October 11—Gonzaga. October 18—St. John’s Junior Varsity of Annapolis. October 22—Western. November 1—Central. November 8—Eastern. November 15—Tech.

LEXINGTON, Va, September 25— Nine linemen, monogram winners in 1928, whose weight will average about 185 pounds, end to end, are available to Coach Eugene Oberst for the sea- son’s opener with Lynchburg College Saturday. In addition to these, he has several| tackles and guards from last earling squad. Hawkins, 205-pound tackle, is pushed for beef by Seligman, guard and former captain of wrestling. Martin, g\urd. who alternated at one post with Seligman in 1928, weighs about 190. No heavy center candidates are at hand. Snodgrass, who started the ma- jority of the games last season, weighs 170, while omrv guard and center in_ 1928, boasts of 180. Light, although unusually fast, ends are in camp in Willlams, Day and Cocke from 1928. Williams, who was injured in ghe second fracas of the year and who saw practicdlly no serv- ice the rest of the season, weighs 180, while Day and Cocke, who played fre- quently in 1928, weigh 175 and 165, re- spectively. o Heavies were plentiful in the 1928 freshman line, and Oberst can use Rosenberg, 185-pound guard; Tonsmiere, 215-pounder, also a center-flanker, and Bailey, tackle, with his 195 pounds, to make the line average of his team still higher.
