44 S College Grid Season Starts PORTS. GEORGETOWN, MARYLAND WILL PLAY GAMES HERE Hilltoppers to Entertain Mount St. Mary’s, While 0Old Liners Will Engage Washington College. Catholic University Invades Boston, BY H. C. BYRD. GEORGETOWN and Maryland are set to open their foot ball schedules tomorrow. The former’s contest with Mount St. Mary’s will be played on the Hilltop field, and begin at 2:30; the latter’s with Washington College is at College Park, and starts at 3 o'clock. The squads of both local schools are in good shape, physically, with the exception of one man on each.. Barabas, one of George- town’s regular backs, and Ribnitzki, Maryland tackle, sprained foot. Otherwise, there has an injured knee, which will keep him out, is not going to get in because of a is hardly a man on either squad who could not go through the hardest kind of a contest. Georggtown‘s opening line-up will be Provincial and Brennan, n ends; Liston and Mooney, tackles; | Leary, quarterback; Schmid and Maczees, Wyncoop, center; and Hudack, full. With the except! Cordovano and Driscoll, guards; halfbacks, ion of Brennan, these men have all had at least one year of college foot ball, and are well able to give a good account of themselves in any kind of competition. Maryland's first string outfit right now consists of 11 seniors, all of whom graduate at the end of this scholastic year. The ends are likely to be pretty well taken care of by Dodson and Heagy. The tackles are Lombard and Ribnitzki, although the latter will not be in to- morrow’s game, Heintz and McDonal¢ are playing the guard positions, the lat! ter having been shifted to guard from tackle, where he held forth last season. Madigan is at center, with Roberts and Warcholy at halfbacks, Evans at quar- ter and Radice at fullback. With the exception of Warcholy all these men formerly held forth on Washington high or prep school teams. It is likely that Carlin will play tackle tomorrow in place of Ribnitzki. Should Win Handly. Both the local schools ought to win. ©Of course, it is possible that either Mount St. Mary's or Washington Col- lege may come here with a far stronger eleven than is anticipated, but it is not likely that either will be strong enough to get away with a victory. Mount St. Mary's gave Georgetown a terrific battle two years ago and the Blue and Gray was not only hard ressed, but it had a difficult time of t to win. Washington College has done the same thing at times at Maryland, but it is significant to note that many years have gone by since either Mount St. Mary’s won from Georgetown or Washington College from Maryland. The two games ought to develop into just what both Georgetown and Mary- jand want—fair tests of their elevens under actual game conditions. At the same time, both games ought to be interesting. Catholic University’s gridiron squad, in Boston for its opening game tomor- row with Boston College,wa 8 to work out in the Hub this afternoon. In the Cardinal's squad which left here last night wasgGene Murphy, vet- eran and clever quarterback, who suf- fered a back injury in a scrimmage & few days ago, and who, it had been thought, might not be taken on the trip. However, it will not be decided until just before game time whether Murphy will be kept out of the start- ing line-up. Should he not take the field, Johnny Oliver, last season’s fresh- man signal barker, will be at quarter, with Larry Martin in geserve. Others in the Cards' starting line- up will be Gerth and Zeno, ends; Raiche and O'Connor, tackles; Monaco and Menke, guards; Ambrose, center; Kane and Champa, halves, and Capt. Jack Malevich, fullback . Probably more interest here attaches to the opening of the University of Virginia againet Randolph-Macon than to_the first contest to be played by any other school outside the local institu- tions. Virginia is beginning its season under a new regime, it is playing a type of foot ball that Virginia teams never have played, and is entering & new era that is likely to mean much to Virginia athletics. In fact, it will be something of a surprise if Virginia does not attain greater development in the next three or four—possibly in the next two or three—years than it has ever known. Abel is instituting at Virginia a sys- tem of foot ball play that was used at | gr Colgate by Larry Bankhart, probably one of the best coaches foot ball has known. That system of play used to be a thorn in the side of Yale and Princeton and other schools that Col- gate met, and the system is so good that it is not a whit less effective now than then. Virginia's opponents are likely to learn that, too, before the end of the year. Jimmy Driver, new athletic director, will develop an organization for the management, of athletics that is sure to !We Virginia & success in this line that will be entirely new to it. Driver 1s not only & good organizer, but knows ‘well how to carry on and build up an organization once it has been instituted. Probably North Carolina, Virginia Military Institute, Washington and Lee and Maryland will watch Virginia to- ‘morrow more closely than some of their oYpon!n'& they must meet before they play Virginia. It would not be surprising to see Richmond put up a stiff battle against Virginia ilitary Institute, although the Jatter is fairly certain to win. That Richmond eleven sometimes proves a real nut to crack. Other games in_this section will be between Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Roanoke College, between Wash- ington and Lee and Lynchburg, and North Carolina and Wake Forest. North Carolina has won only one of its last four games with Wake Forest, though last year it won very decisively, St. John's College of Annapolis goes to Willlamsburg to meet Willlam and Maroons Fool Penn On Neat Line Buck After a deluge of passes and wide end runs, such as we have shown Chicago using, the defense usually opens up to put an end to such tactics. Penn did it last year after the Maroons had successfully ex- ecuted the three plays shown in the preceding releases. ‘The result was anything but satisfactory. Chicago countered with a neat line buck that went like & house afire. A defensive center out of the line means that three of the four re- maining men, the two guards and one tackle, can be double-teamed by the offensive linemen. When that is possible iine bucking may be looked for by the spectator, especially if the attacking team has been for- .ward passing successfully. Note e that when you next attend a game. Chicago will do just that this Fall after its passing game, which I have been describing, gets under way. Here is the way it is done: Ball is snapped to No. 3 back, who marks time by taking one step. He does this to permit back No. 2 to smash through the hole to the right THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, Here Tomorrow : Pitt Has Eye I 1929, MOONEY FAMILY IS WELL REPRESENTED AT GEORGETOWN PAN'[HERS BERIA'N Ao A | TOBE FORMIDABLE This trio of brothers comes from Chicago.

It is pretty certain that the members of the Devitt squad who Flnyefl with the eleven last season will be in the starting line-up tomorrow, but who will begin at the other posts probably will not be decided until the last minute. Veterans listed to start include Capt. Prancis Knott, fullback; _Francis Bernard, halfback; Milton Abramson, quarterback; Paul Tangora, left tackle, and Andy Gleeson, left end. In all there will be 30 in the Devitt squad, including Coach McNamara and John F. Byerly, president of the athletic association. ‘There is considerable doubt as to how Emerson will take the field against Woodberry Forest at the ope: whistle. It is probable that the starting ar- ray will include Albert, left end; Mc- Donald or Kelso, left tackle; Brandon or Longest, left guard: Trilling or Simonton, center; Healy or Brooks, right guard; West, right tackle; Forney, right end; Lewlis, quarterback; Cabell or Kennedy, left halfback; Baggett or Scanlon, ht halfback, and Sutton or Trilling, fullback.

ADMISSION: Grandstand snd paddeck, $1ED FIRST RACE AT 3:15 P06 THREE FOOT BALL RULES CLARIFIED Hall Explains Pen.alty Back of Line, Interference in Pass and Fumble. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 27.+—Three questions on interpretations of the foot ball code, raised by coaches and offi- cials during a series of conferences throughout New England and the Mid- dle Atlantic States, were answered and explained yesterday by Edward K. Hall, chairman of the intercollegiate rules committee. One was made necessary by a clerical error in the wording of section 8, rule 23, which would seem to give the of- fending side the advantage of a penaity incurred behind the goal line. The second clarifies the new fumble rule asf it relates to kicks, and the third further defines interference as applied to the screened pass, now legislated out of the game. Mix-up Is Remedied. ‘The mix-up in the wording of section 8 was remedied by changing the first four lines to read: “If a foul that does not involve pos- session of the ball is committed behind its goal line by the gide which did not put the ball in play,” etc. The incor- rect rule read at the start, “* * * is committed behind the opponent’s goal line by the side which put the ball in play,” etc. An all-important “did not” was lost somewhere in transit between the rulemakers and publishers, Mr. Hall explained. The second question submitted to Mr. Hall by Walter R. Okeson, commissioner of officials, related to rule 13, section 14, and rule 18, section 5, governing & fumbled kick which, under the new rules, is dead where recovered by the kicking side. Ruling was asked on a play wherein the receiver of the kick gains full possession and control of the ball, but subsequently fumbles and the ball is recovered by the opposition be- fore touching the ground. Mr. Hall ruled that the ball is a re- covered kick and therefore & dead ball at the point of recovery. The distance covered before the fumble by the car- rier should have no affect on the inter- retation, Mr. Hall ruled, inasmuch as e kick, run, fumble and recovery are nlmfi of the same play. final decision interpreting in- terference in Section A, Rule 16, & screened e drastic effort to give the defense every opportunity against forward passes. Up to Officials, “Interference is always a question of fact which the official must decide. The Furpon of this rule is to give to the eam on defense a fair chance to defend themselves against a forward pass at- tack,” Mr. Hall ruled. “The forward pass is one of the most powerful weapons of the offense. Until the ball is actually passed the members of the defensive team can have no defl- nite knowledge as to its ultimate desti- nation. The only defense against the ass after it has crossed the scrimmage ine is to itercept it and either recover it or bat it to the ground. This oppor- tunity of the defense, which is their only opportunity to protect themselves, must not be impaired. Players of the passing team who are eligible to recover e pass may interfere with opponents only in an.actual attempt to recover it themselves. Ineligible players under the conditions descril in the rule must not interfere in any way whatsoever. “The rule should be interpreted lit- erally, and in case of doubt as to such interference, or destruction of right of ‘way, the penalty should be inflicted. It is immaterial whether or not the inter- ference is intentional PRS- GRID STAR IS DANCER.

D aall menv‘mst hzho will send ams against University of Pittsburgh Panthers are -pprehem!vya ‘The Panthers lost only two games last year, being beaten, 6 to 0, by a great Carnegle Tech eleven and losing to & better-than-average West Virginia com- bination, 9 to 6. Pittsburgh beat Penn State, Syracuse and Washington-Jeffer- son and played a 0-to-0 tie with Nebraska. On paper that record doesn't look 8o good, but when it is considered that Sutherland had lost such great d formers as “Bullet” Booth .and Gibby ‘Welch, the latter an All-American back; Linn, 8 star guard, and Kerr, a great tackle, the Panthers’ performance was not so discouraging. Pitt’s line coaches developed one of the greatest lines in the East last sea- son, much of it from new material. Only .seven first downs were' made through the line by West Virginia, Carnegle Tech, Syracuse, Washington- Jefferson, Nebraska and Penn State combined. Nebraska didn't make a single @irst down. Has Veteran Material. Eight members of the 1928 team are back in harness. They are Capt. Al Di Meolo, guard: Charles Tulley, tackle; Ray Montgomery, center; Joe Don- chess, All-American end, and the same backfield—“Pug” Parkinson, fullback; Joeh Willlams and Toby Nansa, half- backs, and Charles Edwards, quarter. ‘They form the nucleus of the 1929 eleven. Sutherland also has an abun- dance of fine material from the fresh- man team, which was one of the strongest in the East in-1928. Morris, Lewis, Yentch and Milligan are_the outstanding guard candidates to fill the post left open by the gradu- ation of Capt. Alex Fox. The tackle position vacated by Mike Getto, All- American tackle last year, will be taken care of by Jess Quatse, Walter Babic or Jim MacMurdo, all sophomore stars. “Honey” Guarino, star end of the 1928 eleven, was graduated. Bill Loehr, Paul Collins, Ed Hirschberg and Joe ‘Timinovitch are battling for the open wing job. There is plenty of backfield power with such reserves as Eddie Baker, Leo Murphy, Jack Kelly and Jimmy Clark, the latter a former Kiski Prep star. Pitt faces a hard schedule, meeting ‘Waynesburg, Duke, West Virginia, Ne- braska, Allegheny, Ohio State, Wash- ington and Jefferson, Carnegie Tech and Penn State. Aside from Waynes- burg, an easy opening game, there is not one soft spot on Pitt's schedule. But close followers of Pitt believe this is “Pitt's year,” and with a more ex- perienced team to take the field, critics look for Pitt to better the fine record made by its neighbor, Carnegie Tech, last season. Rivals Have Stars. ‘The fortunes of Carnegie Tech and est, Virginia rest largely upon the frail shoulders of Howard Eyth and Eddie Stumpp. Stumpp, hurt last sea- son in the Oklahoma A. and M. e, will be called upon to pilot the Moun- taineers to victory. Eyth, of Carnegle, while not a quarterback, is a great ball carrier, and 15 badly needed by Coaches Steffen &nd Waddeil. Last year the Tartans, with BY IRWIN FLUHARTY.

Eyth was in- jured on ths same complicated play man and almost resulted in the New York star's death. rtunately, Eyth was less severely hurt, but while Stumpp was operated upon during the ‘Winter for a torn ent, Eyth was under_ treatment for a badly bruised shoulder. Stumpp means even more to the Mountaineers then Eyth does to the ‘Tartans. Last year, in his section, he ‘was second only to Howard Harpster as a cool, competent fleld general. In ad- dition to a clever foot ball brain, Stumpp exhibited an uncanny ability to forward pass, far beyond the seem- ing powers of his unimpressive physique.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, September 27.—Foot ball in the East comes into its own to- morrow when nearly 100 college teams make their initial bow of the season. A dozen others will be making their second appearance, having gained a lap on the field last week. A handful, in- cluding Yale, Harvard and Princeton. will put off their inaugural combat until a week Saturday.
