SPORTS. THE SPO i§ CADETS AND TECHS CLASH AT ROANOKE Richmond and W. & M. to Put on Hot Grid Show in Dominion Capital. public interest and the knowledge The Army-Notre Dame game older rivalries know. You can gick any two oldtime rivals from foot ball and place them in a nearby stadium and yet the Army-Notre Dame game will outdraw them all if only accommodations were provided. If there was seating or standing space in New York on Saturday this gridiron feature would draw over 200,000 spe®- tators. The demand for tickets has been something terrific. Almost every mail and every phone call scems to be a request for one, two or more tickets. And the traditional lure back of this contest is less than 20_years. Much less. It has grown to be one of the great sporting events of the year—a sporting event that is nearly always replete with drama—that is always packed with clean, fast, hard play, calculated to catch the fancy of a capacity crowd. The Next Meeting. THIS next Army-Notre Dame game will carry a_number of unusual features. Notre Dame is coming on East again with one of the best teams Rockne ever coached. It is one of the best teams in the game today—-a smart, fast team that is something to look at. On the Army side Biff Jones is di- recting his last Army team. He has completed his four years at West Point and will now move on to other Army duties. He has had one of the best coaching records in all Army foot ball history. In this game Chris Cagle is playing his final foot ball battle. So is John Hertz Murrel. They have been Army stars for four years. Cagle was By the Assoclated Press. WO traditional Thanksgiving day games are beckoning invitingly to Virginia's foot ball fans this week—the annual V. M. L-V. P. L clash at Roancke and the University of Richmond and William and Mary contest at Richmond. The annual battle between the Uni- versity of Virginia and the University of North Carolina, which during the many years it has been played, at times has been paramount among the classics, this year has narrowed itself to little interest in Virginia, and in North Caro- lina fans are merely speculating as to how many touchdowns the Tarheels will core. s ‘Washington and Lee leaves the Old Dominion for & Turkey day clash with the University of Florida at Jackson- ville. Dopesters say the gravy for the dish is monopolized by the Gators. Richmond Game Headliner. Thus with two of the “Big Four” playing out of the State and the re- mainder hooked up in a struggle—and what a struggle it should be—all their own at Roanoke, the Willlam and Mary-Richmond classic at Richmond holds supreme interest in the East. One other game is scheduied for the Thanksgiving program in Virginis t Bristol, where Carson-Newman and King College will pull the “turkey's ‘wishbone. But there are four teams engaged in these two major Virginia contests, and there is not a soul within the confines of the commonwealth who can say, By GRANTLAND RIC Tradition—the Army-Notre Dame. HERE are occasions when tradition means a matter of forty or fifty years—such as the Yale-Princtton, the Harvard-Yale or the California-Stanford games. ‘There are other occasions when tradition can be built up in a greater hurry—through class of competition—speed, action, up to a spectacle and a sporting contest well worth watching. But within a few years it has caught up with the old guard—and has passed most of the bunch. Two Piping Hot Gridiron Feasts Promised Virginia Fans on Thanksgiving Day DOWN THE LINE WITH W. O. McGEZHAN. A More and Better Goal Posts. BEFORE the end of the current season there probably will be a RTLIGHT that two unusual rivals are keyed lacks the matter of time which one of the shining stars of the game in 1927 and 1928, but he has had & rougher road to follow this year. He is now out to give all that he has to offer—if the Notre Dame defense will let him get a foot of leeway. So far Cagle hasn't been able to put on the big show he sprung in 1927 and 1928. He has been extremely good, but Yale and Illinois kept him pretty well cov- ered, His passing game against Il- linols was something to look . at—for Dr. Zuppke always has a pass defense that is hard to baffle. Any back who can show consistent stuff against Notre Dame is better than good, for Notre Dame is even stronger defensively than it is offensively, especially against any type of ball-carrying game, Nearing the End. 'HANKSGIVING DAY will clean up a big part of the menu and Sat- urday will leave only a few postseason contests left. ‘Two of these involve the longest trips of the year. In one, the Oregon Aggles or Oregon State travels to Miami{ to meet Florida. In the other, the Army moves to Palo Alto for the Stan- ford game. Carnegie Tech also travels on to Los Angeles to tackle Southern California. Jumping from one coast to another is now getting to be a steady foot ball practice. Stanford came East last Fall and California came East this Fall. Now two Eastern teams are oblig- ing with return trips to the Pacific. All of this ought to prove something, but it probably won't until Pittsburg has its shot. now, who will win either of the games. ‘There is no doubt that they are pro- verbial “blood games,” and either two of the four can win. Comparative Scores Out. Relative merits and scores on paper make no difference with these games, ‘V. M. I, of course, generally is con- ceded to be the weaker of the Roanoke contestants, and Richmond University of the Richmond front, but dope “buckets” always find it hard to keep right side up in both cf tifese games. V. P. L is due to win over V. M.-I. But the Gobblers were the choice of ex- perts last year. Then, too, in the way of comparison, the showings of the re- spective Virginia teams against the University of Maryland is to be con- sidered. For the last five years Willlam and Mary has had a keen 2dge over the age-old foe at the University of Rich- mond, but the “Spiders” have an in- variable knack of notching that edge in an uncanny fashion and cutting down the Indians to their own size. None knows who will win these two games, but thousands of stanch alum- ni of the four schools are preparing to partake of Thanksgiving dinner hur- ridly and fille the hways to Roanoke and Richmond.

This is the first gridiron squad in the history of the school, it having been decided only a few days ago to give the sport a trial. Should the few games planned during the remainder of the season be conducted successfully and sufficient interest be aroused, it is likely that foot ball will take its place as.a regular sport at the school.

HICAGO, November 26—With its second petition for rein- statement into the good graces of the Western Conference ready for presentation to the ‘faculty committee on athletics Decem- ber 7, the University of Iowa may find the committee unprepared for action. Prof. James Paige of Minnesota, ap- pointed last June to head a special committee to- investigate not only the Towa case but athlctic conditions in other Big Ten schools, last night said his groupswhich included Prof. Thomas E. French of Ohio State University, and the late Prof. George Goodenough of the University of Illinois, had not met and would not have a report ready when the faculty committee meets in Chicago. Towa athletic officials showed no surprise when they learned of Prof. Paige’s statement and said they would go ahead with plans to present the petition, asking Teinstatement to com- petition with ~ other schools. « They planned to send a brief of their case to each member school before the December 7 meeting. Failure to dispose of Iowa's troubles will force Big Ten basket ball coaches to the necessity of revising the rotating schedule which has been in effect for several years, for Iowa will not be fllgiblv for competition after January , and the Big Ten championship sea- son does not open until after New Year. Under the plan, each school plays 17 games, five practice affairs, and 12 against conference teams. The 12 league games are played on a home and home basis with six member schools, and with Iowa out, it would be neces- sary to make a new arrangement. Jowa was banned from athletic com- petition with other Big Ten schools after the annual Big Ten track and fleld champlonships last June. The action was taken by the faculty com- mittee on athletics, which charged Towa with having proselyted and hired ath- letes and having maintained a “slush” fund for the support™of athletes. Iowa officlals immediately started a house- cleaning and late in June made its first plea for reinstatement. ‘The faculty committee rejected the petition, with the belief that more time should elapse before considering rein- statement for Io Meanwhile, Towa has marked time in making up its basket ball schedule, list- ing only practice games to be played before January 1. So'far the Hawkeyes have scheduled two contests with Pitts- burgh schools, one with Duquesne Uni- versity and the other with the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh, and games with Notre Dame and Marquette University. —_— J.C.

Of course, much progress has been ‘The posts have been moved out of the field of play, so that they do not in any way annoy the athletes or distract their attention from the game. But the posts still are a source of annoyance to the spectators. When the game is over the partisans of the winning team continue to rush upon the goal posts to tear them into bits of souvenirs. Much unpleasantness seems to have been caused by this custom. As I recall it, one of the causes mentioned for the breach between Columbia and An indignant member of the New York Stock Exchange writes me that there was a great deal of goal post trouble after the game between Ford- ham and New York University. The constabulary being altogether unac- quainted with college customs under- took to save the goal posts at the Polo Grounds from {he rush of the impulsive Fordham rooters, with the result that heads were massaged with clubs. My informant writes: “After the finish of the game between Fordham and New York University I saw policemen smashing the heads of boys with their clubs because the kids were ending up a foot ball game as usual by tearing down the goal posts. “I do not know why the ball park owners should get such protection to their property and why Mr. Stone- ham and his associates should be so small as to begrudge some en- thusiastic college boys about $25 worth of goal posts. I always have assumed that the loss of goal posts was part of the expense of a foot ball game and surely these owners make enough without having to worry and fight in such a small way over nothing. “If these policemen had done their duty early in the fourth quarter and kept_the spectators from going on to the field and interfering with the play, they would have done more toward the common good than they did by making a spectacle of themselves to the spec- tators remaining in the stands, by clubbing the Fordham youngsters, I have in mind trouble a few years ago between the Columbia and New York University boys about posts, but this is the first time in my memory that anything like this has occurred. “It 1s such small things as this that make one wonder how people financially interested in sport have so little of the sporting instinct themselves, Naturally they would not expect to have the goal posts broken down at an exhibition of pro- fessional foot ball, but for some reason they do not grasp the point of view of a college boy.” Mr. Charles A. Stoneham denies that he incited the constabulary to defend the bits of lumber in the Polo Grounds. “As a matter of fact,” sald Mr. Stone- ham, “if I had known that they wanted those goal posts I would have had them made out of better material. .+ “For the next game I think that Fights Last Night By the Assoclated Press.

I will have five or six sets because two are not enough to go around. And after the game If they will wait I will have some men saw them into the right’ lengths. Or maybe I can have them sawed up during the game, because from what I see they do not use them much.” It will be seen that Mr. Stoneham is up on modern foot ball. He has realized from close observation that the only use for the goal posts is to furnish something to tear down after the game. Disappearing Goal Posts. P course, there are those who might object to the summary removal of the goal posts. They still remain to some in the relation of the striped pole to the barbet shop, or the wooden Indian to the cigar store. The striped pole still remains to a certain extent as a notice that shaving, bobbing and haircutting are going on in that vicinity, but the last cigar store Indian has long since passed in the direction of the setting sun in the trail of his models. I have enough sentiment myself not to advocate the entire abolition of the goal posts, but why keep them 50 near the field? I think that they might be placed on the top of the stadia as symbols of the derivation of the game of intercollegiate foot ball. When you see a spinning wheel outside one of Ye Old Inns in New England you know that antiques are being sold inside. Similarly, when you see a set of goal posts silhouetted against the sky over the Yale Bowl ou will know that there is a foot 11 game going on inside. Thefe are some who insist that some of the old-fashioned teams may require the goal posts in the course of the game. For these a master mind is working out a scheme for disappearing goal posts, which can be raised up from the subterranean passage when they are required and lowered before they can incite the passions of the fans. But it will not be long now before the goal posts disappear entirely. Of course, it will be something like five or six years before they are forgotten entirely. Let those who are collecting early American goal posts get them while the getting is good. Ten years from now Henry Ford may be offering a fortune for a set of intercollegiate foot ball goal posts in good condition.

ITH Marsters definitely out of | the picture, Dartmouth is going to have ample oppor- tunity to prove whether or not it is a one-man team. Alton Marsters would be a tremendous loss to any squad, but the Green has some other backs who would shine against any lesser opposition. One great back who doesn't get all the credit due him is Brazil of Detroit. If ' Brazil were with one of the big coast, Western Conference or Eastern elevens you would be hearing a lot about him. Detroit doesn’t have many opponents of major caliber, but that isn't Brazil's * fault. In four games his punts have . averaged over 40 yards and he has averaged almost 8 yards every time he ran with the ball. That is good work against anybody. Georgia is expected to show & couple of good backs in_the game with New York University. Rothstein, at fullback, is a fine linebreaker and Armin Waugh, Atlanta boy, light, but fast and | shifty as a rabbit. Banker of Tulane and McEver of Ten- nessee still are considered the best backs ' of the South, but Justus of Clemson and Cawthorne of Florida. have been recelving a lot of favorable mention | from the experts. Kelly of Kentucky and Holm of Alabama are also first- * class ball carriers. 4 Such backs as Lom of California, Dowler of Colgate, Sebo of Syracuse, Bergherm of Northwestern, Uansa of Pittsburgh, Hinkle of Bucknell, Mc- Elreath of Baylor, Pharmer of Minne- sota, King cf Drake, Pomeroy of Utah, Bausch of Kansas, Hewitt of Columbia, Cagle of Army, Booth of Yale and Stevens of Cornell are too well known to need advertising. There are all-Amer- ; ica men in plenty in that lot. ‘The trouble is that the only manner | in which backs can be graded is to take into account the opposition they face, , and, on this theory, i’ou might also , pick Notre Dame's whole backfield and ' not go far wrong.
