BY JOHN B B. KELLER. ACKFIELD players who can make interference tor the ball carriers. They are what Lou Little, directing genius of foot ball at Georgetown University, is looking for these days. “Give Georgetown one or two men,in the backfield strong enough and well acquainted with the knack of making interference for the man lugging the ball and it will have a backfield that should make a name for itself behind the capable line already at hand,” says Little. According to Little, the crop of backs Georgetown has been using does not include any sizeable enough to make good interferers. “It takes the fast, rangy type of player to take care of this end of the game,” Little declares, “and Georgetown seems to have nothing of this type well enough versed in foot ball to handle the job. Why, the backfield that has been used averages only 154 pounds, a high school backfield as far as size goes.” THE GRAND OLD MAN., “Tie STAG_ATEVE HAD DRUNK So with four hard games to be played during November, Little is overlooking no likely candidate for the interferer's task these days. He hopes to find in the squad this week a few big fellows, give them some intensive train- ing and shoot them into the Saturday engagement with Leb- anon Valley at Griffith Stadium for a test under fire. And if one of those to be tried proves fairly good, Little will censider himself fortunate. “That I am looking for a good inter- ferer is no reflection upon those who have been playing in the Georgetown backfield,” Little remarks, “For their size they are good backs, They are earnest and game fellows. But a big. fast man is needed to take out the opposing tackle or end and clear a path for the ball carrier. Believe me, no matter how sure-footed and agile a ball- | carrier may be, he will not get very far unless he has good interference. Heft Is Necessary. “Everything in the way of offense, so far as the backfield is concerned, de- pends upon the strength and skill of | the interfering backs. They must know | their business thoroughly and have the | build and power to carry on with it. Until players so equipped are developed | at Georgetown the backfield will not be as powerful as a major team’s backfield should. “There are several in the squad we hope to improve to such an extent they | will be helpful to this year's backfield. | Chief among this lot is Leroy Bordeau, a husky youngster from Northern New ‘York, who played with the Malone High School. Bordeau, a sophomore, is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs in the neighborhood of 180 pounds. He has| improved greatly during the last few | weeks, but he has a long way to go yvet | before he may be regarded as a high- class interferer and defensive back. But | Bordeau looks the best available, and we are working hard with him. “Gillis, too, may be made into a good back for interference play. He is an aggressive type, and knows what he is supposed to do. But Gillis, too, still needs much drilling along this line. I hope we get these good interfering backs soon. Why, behind capable interference that would give them a chance to get away, Johnny Bozek and Leary would be among the toughest ball-carriers in ST ALBAN'S ELEVEN BETTER THIS YEAR | Cathedral Boys Stronger Than Formerly in Game With St. Kits. ‘T. ALBAN'S SCHOOL has a foot ball team apparently measurably stronger than the elevens which have been representing the ch- thedral school during the past few seasons. After drubbing St. Paul's School of Baltimore, 26 to 6, St. Alban's held its time-honored foe, St. Christopher, of Richmond, to a 30—0 score. This was decidedly in contrast to the 59—0 drub- ing the cathedral school team absorbed at the hands of the Virginia school- | boys last Fall. = 8t. Christopher, which recently de- | feated Swavely, conqueror of Business High, outweighed St. Alban’s, but by no means outfought the District school- | boys. Next Friday St. Alban's will engage either the elevens representing Lan- don, Washington's new preparatory £chool, or Marston School of Baltimore. ‘Arrangements have been completed for games with Christ Church, at Christ | Church, Va., and Donaldson School of Baltimore on the St. Alban’s gridiron next month. Rev. James Henderson, director of athletics, is acting as head coach of the St. Alban’s foot ball team, though most of the #ctlVé tutoring is being done by George Hardman and Red O’'Connor. Emerson and Eastern will face to- morrow afternoon in the Eastern sta- dium in a foot ball game which has been advanced from November 13. St John's and Eastern had been booked wgngrrow, but the contest was can- celed. Weather and ground conditions per- mitting, Business and Western elevens the country to stop.” Little believes that with the addition of one or two good interfering backs Georgetown can get much more use from Johnny Bozek. This fleet back, who still needs more conditioning work, as he joined the squad rather late, Little considers one of the most versa- tile backs in the game. “I hope to employ Bozek as a triple threat,” says the Georgetown coach. ! “Johnny is a good kicker, a fine passer, and everyone knows how well he can carry the ball. With him kicking and passing, as well as running, the George- town backfield would be improved at Jeast 50 per cent. But we must have the good interferers and defensive backs to permit Johnny to work in such| manner.” May Call Signals. Little also has an idea of using Bozek ®s a signal caller, “He's @ smart foot ball player, is Johnny,” Little contends, “and I would not hesitate to employ him as the Georgetown team’s field general. Those who have been calling signals have done well. They have succeeded admir- ably; in fact, with a light backfield. But | I think Johnny might prove somewhat | better. I hope to try him as a signal caller soon.” Little isn’t worrying particularly about his line, which is composed in the main of veterans. He opines it will with- stand the gaff of the hard November schedule. “T would like to see it perform a bit more aggressively,” he states, “but it| knows its foot ball pretty well, and should improve with every game. Un- fortunately, there are not many line replacements at hand, and we are now | forced to employ rather inexperienced ends. But the Georgetown line isn't bothering me or any others having to do with the team. “Give us a husky back or two. That's what we need more than anything else. With a stalwart or two mixed with a pair of fleet ball-carriers we have. Georgetown; might startle the foot bal world in November.” o QUARTERBAGK OFFERS PROBLEM FOR VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY, Va,, October 22.—Who will run the Virginia foot ball team in the game with St. John's next Satur- day? This is a question that Earl Abell, Cavalier head coach, must answer, Faulconer, veteran halfback, had the job thrust upon him in an_emergency during the V. M. I. contest. He handled the situation well in spite of the fact that it was his first experience in serv- ing as quarterback. Because of his success against the Cadets it semse likely that Faulconer may continue to fill the vacancy created while Capt. Sloan is recovering from an injury sustained in playing Swarthmore. Moncure, who started calling signals in the V. M. 1. game, went the way that many others who are good at ball carry- | ing and other bacfield play. but wh cannot_run the team without slowini down themselves. Fear that this may happen to Faul- coner in later contests is making Coach g Abell Iook about for some one who has ! had quarteback experience. CUE STAR PLAYS AGAIN. William Lewis, former Pennsylvania State pocket billiards champion, who last night won an exhibition match from William Karas, 100 to 20, at the Grand Billiard Academy, will meet Kelly, another District cueist, at the same place tonight at 8:30 o'clock. It be Lewis' final appearal were to clash this afternoon in a pub- lis high school championship series game in Central stadium. It was to be the opening series game for both elevens, Woodward and Franklin School of Baltimore also were to meet this after- | | noon, the game being set for the Mon- ument Grounds.

B. Forest once said the { way to win a battle was “to get there firstest with the most- est men.” The way to win foot ball games is to have the most reserve strength Minnesota losms as a strong possibil- ity for the Big Ten championship, be- cause the Gophers showed in their vic- | tory over Northwestern that they can mauster this reserve strength when their adversaries have grown weary. | Minnesota looks good to me after hearing the reports of our scout. The | Gophers have a powerful offense that will smash through almost any defense. More versatility in the Minnesota at- | tack would have forced Northwestern to | spread out its line and the Gopher vic- tory would have been by a larger score. On casual survey Minnesota pulled the game out of the fire by scoring two touchdowns and a field goal in the fourth period, but in reality the Goph- | ers’ superiority was manifest, and, with- { out prejudice to Northwesterns' gallant effort, they should have won more de- i cisively. The outstanding figure in the Towa- 1linois tie was Capt. Glassgow of Iowa, tone of the best backs in the country. { Glassgow is fast in the open and hiis | like a pile-driver. He has a beautiful | whirl when about to be tackled. ; Towa is big and powerful, and with Glassgow in the game will worry op- | ponents any day. | The team that wins is the one which can gain in the pinches, not in the yardage. Ohio State did this | against Michigan and deserved its vic- {tory. McConnell's punting was a big factor for Ohio. A young Michigan back with a famous name, Willie Heston, jr., made most of Michigan's gains. Indiana is much weaker than last season, but Colgate's victory was by a | larger ‘margin than expected.

First this man Stagg was famous as the greatest college athlete in America, before he became known as one of the country’segreatest foot ball coaches. But I have a hunch that Mr. Stagg would prefer to be known as a splendid force in character building and maker of real men. A. Alonzo Stagg has been coach of the University of Chicago foot ball teams since 1892. Hence this is his thirty-eighth season. When he as its coach. The story is told of how Stagg once scored a touchdown for Chicago, by running around a mounted policeman, whose horse had wandered out on the fleld during the game. ‘Young Alonzo's athl:iic career be- gan at Orange High School, New Jersey, and, strangely. it was in base ball, and not foot ball, that he first won fame. After a time at Phillips- Exeter Academy, Stagg went to Yale, where he worked his way through —BY FEG MURRAY Metsopolitan Newspaper Service college, living on as low as 25 cents a day sometimes. ‘He was an un- beatable pitcher, and in 1888, struck out 20 Princeton batters in one game. He played on the Yale foot ball team for five years, and was chosen as end on Walter Camp's first all-America team in 1889. (Graduates played on the team then, and I bet the “old man” wished he could use some graduates now at Chicago.) ‘This fine old gentleman is really one of the wonders of athletics. Still active enough to play tennis almost daily, Stagg has a much more powsrful foot ball machine than he had last season. OLD RIVALS CLASH ON GRID SATURDAY Carnegie-Notre Dame Only Big Intersectional Tilt on Week End Card. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, October 22.—A half dozen intersectional games provide the sauce for the East's foot ball feast on Satur- day, but traditional rivairies furnish the real backbone on the menu. On a day when such games as Army-Yale, Dartmouth-Harvard, Navy- Princeton and Syracuse-Brown are available to tempt Mr. John Foot Ball Fan, only the Carnegie Tech-Notre Dame fray, among intersectional bat- tles, can offer much competition. Carnegie Tech can boast of two suc- cessive victories over Knute Rockne's ramblers from South Bend, but it ap- pears that three in a row is a bit too much to expect. Carnegle, without Howard Harpster calling the plays, does not loom so formidable as the aggrega- tion that crushed Notre Dame, 27 to 7, last Fall. And Rockne’s team, with Carideo, Elder, Brill and others, is much improved over last year's. The other intersectional games bring together New York University and Butler of Indianapolis, Marquette of Milwaukee and Holy Cross, Duke and Villanova, Kenyon of Ohio and Haver- ford, all in the East, and West Virginia srllg the Oklahoma Aggles at Stillwater, Okla. None of these, however, can hope to divert much attention from the big domestic spectacles. Army's tie game with Harvard last week served only to confirm what previously had been something more than a slight suspicion —namely that to beat the cadets one must stop Cagle. There seems to exist considerable doubt whether Yale can do either. Dartmouth, with Marsters running wild, looked invincible against Colum- bia, but it remains to be seen whether even “special Delivery Al" can get past a fine Harvard line. Beaten by Brown and Cornell on successive Saturdays, Princeton hopes to get going at the expense of Navy, | but these same hopes seem to lack any tlogical foundation. Navy has been beaten only by Notre Dame and re- vealed a powerful offensive against Duke. Syracuse, highest scoring team in the country, will be favored over Brown, although the Bruins have showed they are not to be taken lightly despite an early defeat by Springfield and another beating by Yale. Penn State expects all sorts of trou- ble from La Fayette, although Herb McCracken's Leopards are not nearly 30 dangerous as they were a couple of seasons back. Two undefeated teams, Davis and Elkins and Fordham are to meet at the Polo Grounds and an- other, Williams, probably will suffer its first reverse at the hands of Columbis e il | {SWAVELY’S GRID TEAM ‘MANASSAS, Va, Octcber 22— Swavely School appears to have a sturdy foot ball eleven.

Rockne stayed away from Pitts- burgh once and never has forgiven himself. In 1926, the Notre Dame wizard decided he would like to see the Army-Navy game at Chicago. So he sent his great team to Pittsburgh to play Carnegie certain it would bring back the bacon. Carnegie startled the foot ball world, and Rockne as well, by swamping the Ramblers. “I don't want to miss a Pittsburgh trip after that 1926 episode,” sald Rockne, who has been forced to re- main at home during the past two week ends because of his ailing leg. “I'll go this time if I have to go in a wheel cha HARVARD TEAM GOOD; CAGLE STILL IS KING BY HOMER GEORGE. OSTON, Mass., October 22—Two things stood out plainly in the Harvard-Army foot ball game last Saturday—first, Arnie Hor- “ween and his assistants have gathered together as smart a team as Horween has had in years; second, Chris Cagle is still the outstanding all- America back. ‘The Harvard team is well conditioned in every respect, well grounded in fun- damentals and equipped with what may be called winning plays. While the Harvard line was outplayed by the Army’s first-rank players, it was evident as the game progressed that the Harvard players were improving, and as a result of the hard battle with the Army the Crimson line should be much stronger from now on. In Ben Tichnor, Horween has a star back, who, from present indications, will deserve consideration when the all- America team is selected. On defense he was all over the field, making an astonishing number of tackles, playing smartly and climaxing his work with intercepting a pass for a touchdown. Harvard is splendidly equipped in the backfield. Its reserves vie with Notre Dame, for Horween showed eight boys who were all capable, smart, packing power and always cool. Harvard is going .to be difficult from now on for any team to beat. Dart- mouth may do it through the sheer speed of Marsters. But I do not think any other team on her schedule is going to turn the trick. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- paper Alliance.)

CHICAGO PREPPING FOR PURDUE GAME {May Show New Plays When | Boilermakers Are Met. | Ohio State Busy. BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, October 22.—Already responsible for one surprise victory this season when his Maroons tripped Indiana, Coach A. A. Stagg is scheming diligently to provide another upset Sat- urday, when the golden liveried eleven g‘om Purdue engages Chicago on’ Stagg eld. The Boilermakers, boasting - power- ful attack, which sent Michigan down to a 30-to-16 defeat, will be favorites to conquer Stagg's thirty-eighth edi- tion of Chicago foot ball, but will find the Maroons equipped with a lot of stuff the scouts haven't seen. Chicago banked on a tight defense and a few plays to edge by Indiana, and the plan worked. Against four minor adversaries the Maroons have used nothing but the most simple stuff. In practice, how- ever, Stagg has been working on a | “power” offensive, featuring a line- crashing campaign such as he used when he had John Thomas, “Five- yards” McCarthy and Zorn, and will shoot the works gainst Purdue. Coach Sam Willaman of Ohio State is busy worrying about overconfidence, following the Buckeye triumph over Michigan Saturday. He has outlined a week of stiff workouts in preparation for Ohio's third conference opponent, Indiana. The Hooslers, defeated by Chicago and Colgate, probably will pre- sent a revised battle front, Coach Page having promoted four men from the B term to the varsity. ‘Wisconsin also g likely to have some changes in its line when Iowa, much encouraged by the tie with Illinois Saturday, goes to Madison. ‘Tury Oman, who looked better against Notre Dame last week than his mates in the backfield, is scheduled for a starting job at_halfback, which will reduce either Bill Lusby or Russ Rebholz to the status of substitute. Injuries to several linemen also are causing Coach | Thistlethwaite concern. Coach Bob Zuppke hasn't found. the proper combination and still is shifting the Illinois line-up about. His eleven ranks as the choice to defeat Michigan Saturday, but he is working to break down an overconfidence that may have been generated by the Wolverines’ lack of success. Coach Harry Kipke is con- centrating on an attack, the play of the line against Ohlo ‘State having been greatly improved. innesota and Northwestern are looking ahead this week, the Gophers eyeing Indiana, which goes to Minnea- polis a week from Saturday, and the Wildeats figuring for Illinois on the same day. Minnesota will meet Ripon Saturday and Northwestern will take on Wabash.

ELEVEN WILL OPPOSE OLD LINERS Catholic U., American U. and George Washington to Face Fast Teams on Foreign Fields—Hoyas and Gallaudet Will Play at Home. BY H. C. BYRD. MONG local college foot ball teams this week the University of Maryland is up against the toughest assignment. In meeting the Virginia Military Institute at Richmond the Old Liners face one of the strongest outfits in the South, one that is little less strong than North Carolina and much stronger than South Carolina, both of which have already taken Maryland’s measure. However, Maryland gradually is building up a pretty fair team and is likely to do a lot better against V. M. I. than one might ordinarily expect. V. M. I. has a big, strong, fast team and a really fine player in Hawkins, quarterback. Hawkins is a gentleman who can do about everything that a good player ought to do. He carries the ball well, combining what few backs have, an ability to dodge and twist with a powerful drive. He can dodge his way in a broken field as well as the great majority of good backs and then when tackled often pulls himself away through sheer strength. Any player who expects to stop Hawkins must not only hit hard with his shoulders but grab him with his arms as well, and then the defensive player will have to hold on for dear life. McCray, fullback for V. M. I, is the longest punter in the South. In the first five minutes of the game with Vir- ginia last week McCray stood on his own 25-yard line and booted the ball to Virginia's 8-yard mark. Of course, that was exceptional, but the big Cacet back will average more than 50 yards. Maryland Backs Better. Maryland will have against V. M. I. an eleven that so far has done little except try to find itself. To build up a backfleld capable of holding its own has been its main problem and it is be- lieved that the quartet that is to go against V. M. I. will be the best that has worn the Old Liners' colors this | season. Either Evans or Chalmers will be at quarterback, with Miller and Dodson at halfbacks and Radice at full. Miller has played very little this season be- cause of a bad ankle, but he has a lot of potential ability as a back, and, in- cidentally, if he gets his kicks off well will match McCray or anybody else in punting. Maryland's shift of Dodson from end to halfback seems to have worked out well, es] lly as Norris, who took Dod- son's place at end, is doing just about as well as Dodson did in that job; and certainly Dodson seems far superior to any of the other men who have been tried in the position he now is filling. ‘This will be the third game in which 7 to 0, and the next was a tle, 14 to 14. Out of the six games that have been played Maryland has three victories, two ties and one defeat. V. M. L. to Lose Team. Blandy Clarkson, head of athletics at' [ V. M. I, says that this is the year when V. M. I will even up old scores. Inci- dentally, Clarkson is not very enthusi- astic about next year's eleven, as vir- tually the whole Cadet eleven gradu- ates, At least, Hawkins does. Clark- son recently said to the writer, “Sure, we have & great team this year; prob- ably our best, but when we lose the bunch by graduation at the end of this season we have decided that we will request all our opponents next season to give us a two-touchdown handicap every week.” Maryland will make e trip to | Richmond in a special train, leaving early Saturday morning. The band of 45 pieces and many students are to go along. The Maryland squad as a wiiole is in the best shape physically 1t bas been for any game this season. Two games are to be played Satur- day on local fields. Georgetown has its contest with Lebanon Valley, and should win, though it may not have as easy a time of it as it has in the past years against the same eleven. The Blue and Gray, however, finally is going to find itself and give a lot of trouble to the big teams it faces later in the season. The game this week is just a stepping stone, or ought to be. Gallaudet _entertains Shenandoah College, the eleven that American Uni- versity whipped soundly at the begin- ning of the season; and what the Kendall Greeners have in store for that Virginia Military Institute and Mary- land have met in Richmond. In the first, in 1927, Maryland won by 10 to 7, while last Fall a scoreless tie resulted. Prior to that Maryland and V. M. 1. had played four times. The first meet- ing was won by V. M. I, 8 to 0; the next two by Maryland, by 15 to 9 and team is enought and more. Gallaudet ought to win by just about as.big a score as it pleases. And right here it | might be stated that there is nothing but praise among the Maryland layers for the Gallaudet eleven, the Old Liners saying that the team they met !last wgek was about as good as any. “Applesauce, Clippings” Burden Illinois Gridmen CHAMPAIGN, IIl, October 22 (#)—"Applesauce and clippings” are worrying Coach Bob Zuppke of the University of Illinois this season. “These blokes walk down the street and get filled with applesauce every place they go,” the little Dutchman said in discussing his foot ball players, “Everybody tells them how good they are. Then they go home and read the same stuff in the newspapers and pretty soon they begin to believe it. “Their tummies are filled with applesauce and their pockets with clippings. The load is too heavy to cln“l;ry and play foot ball at the same time.” And of Johnny Ringle, star Gallaudet back, they say “He’s the best foot ball player we've been against this year.” George Washington, American Uni- versity and Catholic University all play away from home. The Colonials meet City College of New York at New York, the Eagles face Loyola at Baltimore, and C. U. goes against Rutgers at New Brunswick. All three games are likely to be difficult from a standpoint of the local elevens. Back in George Washington's mind was the idea that it would win from City College of New York, but the loss ot two backs through injuries in Dickinson game at Carlisle last week depreciates the outlook a great deal, Hoffman and Berkowitz were hurt to such an extent that -they could not return to Washington with the team Saturday night, and it is extremely un- likely that either will be able to get in a uniform for two weeks or more, American University will be against a hard proposition when it faces Loyola. ‘The Methodists have a good team but not as experienced as that which repre- sents Loyola. If they can wind up the contest as well as they did ainst Baltimore University last Saturday they sh(])luld consider that they have done well. 3 _Catholic University seems to have an even chance to t Rutgers. The Brookland eleven has Malevich, one of its best backs, out of the game, but he also was out of the game last week with Villanova. -McAuliffe will start the same line-up against Rutgers that worked so well against the Pennsyl- vanians, and feels that his men have about an even break to come through. If the Brookland team does beat Rut- gers their foot ball stock should rise considerably. 3-CLASS SHOOT LISTED .
