A The Coast Guard said to b2 making great preparations for the contest, as it feels that within its orsanization are just as many good foot ball playe s are in| the Marine Corps or any other branch of the service. The Coast Guard is making no secret of the fact that it has high hope of duplicating the feat of the Navy Beating the Marines, though, is not as easy as it s and nine chances out o v would not have been triumphant in that contest a vear ago had it not been that the Ma simply tricd to do something tha foot ball team can do. The Sea Sol- dicrs vlayed a hard game at Akron on Than ng day and. with only one av's rest, the intervening Friday, came here Friday evening and played Navy Saturday. No foot ball team has the nerve force to play two hard games with only one day's rest. and the fact that the greater part of the intervening time spent on the train in a sleeper just made the task that much more difficult. Marines Like Game, Dave Brewster, former Tech nd George Washington foot ball plaver, now in charge of Marine Corps athletic: President Hoover's decision the award of a cup for service | championsihp, and Maj er's feel- | ings are just about indicative of what the entire Marme Corps, from Gen Neville down, fecls. The Marines lost in the game for that cup last Fall, and they have been looking forward for a whole year in anticipation of the op- portunity to it back in their head- quarters tropny room. And the Ma- rines deserve that opportunity. because f A better group of fellows could not be found on any college squad When the Marines started practice | four weeks it did not seem that | they would have as strong an eleven as represented them season, but with the advancement of their train- ing period it is almost certain that by the time the Coast Guard game | comes around they will be a far harder cleven to beat than they were last| cear. They are sure to be much more | fformidable in this contest than in the | President’s Cup game last vear, taking everything_into consideration i Coach_Tom Kead building up a big. fa ne, while it is developing somewhat slowly, eventually is going to be a team to make against. The line Keady probably wiil have when he iy shapes up h: cly to averag s from end to end. The backfield does not shape up that big, but there are in it a couple of 185-pounders and two others not so heavy, but fast and able to “tote a foot ball,” as Keady himself puts it. Dashiell Looks Good. continue When the squad first took the field " and Keady compured the men with what_he had last vear and two years ago he was inclined to feel somewhat ouraged, but since that he has ched a more rapid development than ad any right to anticipate consequently beginning to h a good eleven d wat he really and he feel that he after all.

He is not only hard to gel hold of but strong and tast and hard to stop under any conditiol Keady's backheld is being built around Dashiell and Duncan, and it 15 worth while mentioning that Duncan is a real foot ball player, not brilliant | but one of the kind whose value to a| team is generalship and steady con-| sistent play cannot be estimated. Any | college coach would weep teams of joy | to have a quarterback with Duncan’s qualities. It also is worth mentioning that Coach Keady has a_capable stafl help- ing him. He started with Harry Liver- sedge, a commissioned _officer, who | formerly was a star at California and who was a member of the great Marine | eleven that had Frank Goettge in the | backfield and Zeke Bailey at center. | Incidentally, these are also assisting| Keady.

To one who saw them play, it was plain that Lieut. E. A. Baldwin of the 2d Corps Area was the better golfer. A longer hitter, more accurate with the frons and apparently a better putter. Baldwin would have n his second consecutive Army championship by a 1alf dozen holes had he been pitted against a man with less fron in his soul than Maj. Bradley of Fort Ben- ning. Ga. But the Infantry never quits. Bradley Carries On. Mud and high water may hold them back. but they dig in and keep fighting. So did Bradley. Outdriven from nearly every tee, the erstwhile West Point outfielder fought back with all pertinacity of the Army mule. At one time he seemed certain to catch his power- ful opponent, and then was beaten back before the baffling skill of a better golfer and a younger man. He might have won but for an extraordinarily lucky break for Baldwin on the six- teenth green, where his ball, plainly destined to_overrun the green, struck the flagstaff and lay near enpugh to the hole to give him a putt at a birdie. Bradley’s plucky fight brought no discredit’ to Baldwin, The _harder Bradley fought, the harder Baldwin fought back, even when he lost two holes in a row from the ninth to see | his three-hole margin cut dwon to one. Baldwin is a Reserve lieutenant from the 2d Corps Area, with headquarters at Governor's Island. Bradley is a Regular Army major,- stationed at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Ga. Both men are powerful hitters, and good putters. Baldwin won the _title | last year in the tournament at Chevy Chase. Both shot 77s over the first round, with Baldwin leading by a single hole. 'But Bradley took three putts on | the fourth and eighth to reach the ninth 3 down. He scored 3s on both the ninth and tenth to cut Baldwin's margin to a single hole. But Baldwin won the eleventh with a birdle 3, and got a half at the thirteenth by laying |a pitch shot nearly dead from the woods. He then drove to the edge of the fourteenth green and won this 335-y;l’d hole with a birdie 3, putting up. Pitch Shot Hits Pin.

And on the sixteenth Baldwin's pitch shot struck the pin and left him with a putt for a birdie, instead of over- Dormie 2 up, Baldwin put his ball on the green at the short seventeenth, and Bradley put his ball inside that of his opponent.

The University of Missouri, in 1909, had one of the | greatest teams I have ever b(-en" connzeted with. It won the Valley | champlonship, playing through an un- | defeated season—and yet it was out- welghed by every team it played. 1 will never forget the Kansas game, | in particular. The Jayhawkers out- weighed the Missouri Tigers at least 18 pounds a man. Missouri won, 12-6 And won on one thing alone, determ! nation not to be beaten. Kansas had a real team and threatened all through the game, especially in the second half. Missour: got the lead early and held it. ‘This game was playved in the old push and pull days, too, when weight meant more than now. But nothing can beat a team determined not to be beaten. One of the most remarkable come- | backs I have ever seen was made by the Princeton team in 1919.

Foot ball fans get much more for their money today than they did 30 years ago. Proof lies in the greatly increased attendance. Big games of 1899 drew up to 25,000 spectators. ‘Today crowds of 70.000 and up are common. When Harvard built its stadium in 1904, capacity 40-odd thousand. the president of the uni- versity wondered how it could be filled. The pressing problem at Cambridge now is to meet the de- mand for seats. Fans prefer modern foot ball be- cause open play has supplanted mass play, with strategy plus deception turning the tide. Take the old method of line bucking as proof. In LINE PLUNGING £, 1899 a big guard or tackle led the runner through the line. At the back of his irousers was a handle. The runncr clung to that with one b When he was tackled, the play did not stop. The giant shead kept pulling him, and two or more other teammates kept pushing from the rear. The sole difference be- tween such line plunging and a tug- | of-war between sides of 11 was that in foot ball the runner was the rope. Today the " line plunge depends upon strategy. Moves are made by the attack to fool the defense into thinking another type of play is coming. The runner may spin and fake a pass to anoiher back. But when he hits, he goes it all alone, depending upon speed, dodging abil- ity and straight-arming to elude the | defensive backs. | (Copyright, 1929.) | T | 'ELEVENS IN BIG TEN SWING INTO ACTION| By the Associated Press.

It played an undefeated season because of determination and wonderful fensive ability. This team played & re- markable game against Chicago. In this game Princeton showed a fine attack. ‘The Tigers made two touchdowns in the last 10 minutes, with the score 18-7 against them. _ Except for 'this burst of offense against Chicago, the team didn't show much of a consistent attack on any other game. But I never saw better fighting spirit. The players took ad- vantage of every break. They recov- ered every fumble and intercepted any number of passes, and it meant, nothing to them to have their oponents on their five-yard line. While the West Virginia defeat made our team in 1919, the Chi- cago victory made the team in 1922. Roper’s Best Eleven. The very best team I have ever coached was Princeton in 1925. This by a real fleld general, Dan Caulkins, who took advantage of every mistake by opponents. He knew where the defense was play! every minute and directed | his plays accordingly. Ed McMillan, a | real leader, was captain of this team. Our attacks were built. around Jake Slagle, one of the best running backs I have ever seen. Slagle could run, pass and kick. That Fall he outdid himself But the real reason this team was so strong was because every man was in every play. particularly on attack. It was a great interfering eleven. And in the last analysis interference and team play win foot ball games. Every time the signal was called half a dozen men were around the ball carrier. Slagle would have never made his great run against Yale, of over 80 vards, except that the Princeton players took out the Yale men and gave Slagle a start.

By the Associated Press HICAGO. September 28.—The dust of the “house-cleaning” program at the University of Iowa, which the Hawkeves hope wili restore them to un- questioned good standing in the Big Ten, today was plainly noticeable. Towa authorities were investigating information forwarded by Maj. John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner, charging Oran Pape, sensational half- back. with having participated in a pro- fessional game in 1927. The informa- tion, contained in a letter to E. H. Lauer, director of athletics at Iowa. sald Pape played with a Galena, IIl., team against a Darlington, Wis., eleven. Coach BurtonsIgnwerson of Iowa re- moved Pape’s name from the list of eligibles for today's opener against Caroll College. He poinded out, how- ever, that Pape was a member of the Hawkeye freshman squad in 1927 and was attending classes in the university, and expressed the belief that the ath- lete, whose long run against Minnesota last’ Fall gave Iowa the touchdown which led fo victory over the Gophers. wouid be able to clear himself. Reports that the charges had their source at the University of Wisconsin were denied by George Little, director of athletics, and J. F. A. A dent of the Wisconsin Athletic Council. While Pape’s status was being Aat- tacked. the Big Ten committce on ath- letics verified the eligibility of Alan Holman for another year of competi- ton at Ohiv State University. Holman was declured ineligible last Spring, but early this Fall was restored W good standing. The latter decision was ques- tioned, but the committee, meeting with its chairman, Prof. G. A. Goodenough of the University of Illinois, decided 1he Buckeye star could play one more year. Holman played one season at. Parsons College. Towa, but later transferred to Towa State College at Ames, Iowa. He again transferred. going to Ohio State. where he was Dr. Jack Wilce's first- string quarterback. The committee ruled that while Holman might be barred from another year of play be- cause of his participation at Parson: he should be permitied another seaso of competition -because several® other transfers from the Iowa school had been allowed to round out three years of eligibility in the Big Ten. 125-POUND GRIDDERS WILL MEET TONIGHT To perfect organization of the 125- pound class of the Capital City Foot Ball League a final meeting will be held tonight at French's store, 721 Four- teenth street.

BY HOWARD JONES, | Foot Ball Coach, University of Southern California. | LTHOUGH the foot ball season i A is only in its first bloom, two very important games are scheduled today on the Pacific i Coast, Stanford-Olympic_Club, | at Palo Alto, and University of South- |ern California-University of California, at Los Angeles. | Exceptional interest attaches to the | eleven had a wonderful attack, directed | Stanford game because the Olympic Club team won last year, 12-6, and because of Stanford's strong showing against the West Coast Army team last | week. Our game in Los Angeles is com- manding attention. as it is the fir: Coast Conference battle of the year, and also because it marks the start of foot ball relations between the two in- stitutions. I saw Stanford play last week. and I was very much impressed by the size of Coach Warner's material. Stanford certainly is as heavy, if not heavier. than last year, and Warner seems well fixed with reserve material. I doubt if there is a heavier backfleld in foot ball than that which Stanford can use—Fleishhacker.,Hillman. Small- ing. Rothert, Frentrup and Simpkins. Each weighs over 180, and Fleshhacker and Hillman top 210. But unless Stanford is on its toes it may lose to the Olympic Club. which has such players as Allen of Yale. Kaer, Southern Californi; McLain. Towa: Marcus, California: Wilson and Kuhn, Washington. and Watson of St. Mary's. I look for a tough game, with the breaks likely to decide the winner. al- though I pick Stanford to win unless all the luck is with the Olvmpic Club. Regarding our game with the Univer- sity of California at Los Angeles. T am not of the same oninion as many peo- nle. who feel it will be an easy affair. I expect the Bruins to put up a lot better game than most people expert (Copsright, 1929. by American News- pape e By the Associated Precs SAN FRANCISCO.
