BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. OODWARD SCHOOL is looking to a much better record on the gridiron next Fall than it experienced during the season just closed. Not that the recent campaign was so unsuc- cessful when it is considered that Woodward was returning to the gridiron wars after not having had an eleven in three seasons. Woodward won only one of six games played, but it figured in one scoreless tie and succumbed in two other contests only by the nar- rowest of margins. 7 Dr. JamessA. Bell, director of education of the Y. M. C. A, with Which the school is connected, praised the spirit shown by the players during the past season and was optimistic as to the future in the principal address at a banquet held in honor of the Woodward grid- ironers. Major and minor letters were awarded members of the first team and members of the midget of 100-pound class eleven also were rewarded. The presentations were made by Coach Warren Hayes. B Thirteen members of the first team were awarded major letters in recognition of their having taken part in two-thirds of the games played. They == Capt. Julian_Williams, Qeorge Groff, James Ford, Joe Brook- hart, Irvin Goebel, Lyle Rippard, John s, Dan Moore, Fred Birdseye, William Myers, Victor De Mott, Jack Jones and Fred Parker. Six players were presented minor awards, having taken part in less than two-thirds of the games. including Hil- ton Gore, Clifton Willingham, Albert Heider, Frank Maniscalo, James Myers and Robert Litschert. Manager Rich- ard Braden also received a minor award. Four members of the first squad are expected to be last, including Willams, Rippard, Ford and Maniscalo. Coach Keller made awards to 13 members of the midget eleven. Those honored_were Capt. Charles Arnold, Manager Bob Hill, Robert Mat- sudaira, Andrew Wahl, Jack HdVle, George_Martin, Henry Blake, Hilliard Owen, David Paull, Robert Mock, Hart- sel Ragan, Frederick Ford and Charles Reynolds. Encouraged by the success attending the foot ball game between the Gonzaga eleven and a team made up of alumni of that school, played Thanksgiving day, Father O'Hurley, athletic dh‘ecwrbnt Gonzaga, plans to arrange a game be- tween flxepregulnr school eleven and a combination of grads late each Fall, 'houg he is not sure Thanksgiving day will be settled upon ag the regular day for the game.

Emerson’s foot ball team was all set for its battle this afternoon at 2 o'clock in Griffith Stadium with the crack Baylor School eleven of Chattanooga, Tenn. ‘It was ‘the only grid contest of the day involving a schoolboy team of the District area. This morning the Baylor squad, which arrived here yesterday, visited Arlington National Cemetery and Mount Vernon. Today's game might not be the last this season for Emerson with a Ten- nessee eleven.

Arthur Kriemelmeyer, former. Tech High grid stalwart, was the lone Wash- ington boy to win a regular berth with the George Washington yearlings, though several other District boys showed promise.

What reason is there to figure that either Pitt or Notre Dame could beat Purdue? Neither has turned in more decisive results than Purdue’s 32 to 0 against Indiana, a team good enough to beat Northwestern, or 26 to 0 against Chicago, a team good enough to beat Washington 26 to 6. Officials who have seen Pittsburgh play pronounce it one of the strongest teams they have seen in years. Pitt has a fast, powerful ne, two fine ends and a fast, elusive, hard-running backfield. And Pitt has a world of experience to call on. Notre Dame is the most interesting peam in foot ball to watch. It has a finer blend of speed, rhythm and variety any other team.

Teams that have not been called on to stand up under the drive of at least four or five standard teams have a big advantage when it comes to cleaning up. A good, average team might be de- scribed as a team that has beaten at least one well known opponent. In- diana’s record was none to impressive, but Indiana beat Northwestern.

EW YORK, November 30.—Some 82,500 persons who purchased tickets for today’s climactic foot ball game at the Yankee Stadium between the Army and Notre Dame needed fur coats more than on any other day of the Eastern season. Army marched, Notre Dame rambled and Jack Prost blew into the metro- politan section all at the same time. Cold weather detracted none from the interest in the contest. Speculators continued to demand $150 for a pair of seats at the sixteenth game between the two institutions. ‘The Ramblers from South Bend, Ind., unbeaten and untied, needed victory to clinch their claim to a share in any natoinal honors that may be passed out. For the Army the test was whether the 1929 season must be marked down on the ledger sheets as a total loss. Even & triumph over Stanford in the Army's last game of the campaign at Palo Alto on December 28 could do little toward checking the disappointment in Army circles over the Cadets' failure to win the Notre Dame clash or any other major game so far this season. If any other incentive were needed, the boys from West Point wanted to present Head Coach “Biff" Jones with a fitting farewell present in the shape of a win over Rockne's Ramblers. Jones, victim of Army regulations, leaves West Point'and Army foot bal at the close of the year, The odds were all against the Cadets, however. In crunching through for- midable opposition in nine successive games, Noure Dame has given a demon- stration of offensive and defensive strength not surpassed by any eleven and equaled by few. The Kamblers have beaten Indiana, Navy, Wisconsin, Carnegie Tech, Georgia Tech, Drake, Southern California and Northwestern by margins of from 1 point ‘to 20. Army, on the other hand, has yet to win a single important game. The Cadets tlea Harvard, lost to Yale by one touchdown and to Illinois by 10 points. On_paper and in the betting, Notre Dame was a 2-to-1 choice even though the Ramblers were without the services of their famed coach, Knute Rockne, and their great center, Tim Moynihan. Rockne, suffering at South Bend from a leg infection, had to depsnd upon the radio to let him know how the tide of battle went. Moynihan, an important cog in the Irish line, broke an ankle in the Northwestern game. The Ramblers have been able to win without Rockne’s coaching aid previously this season. Army rooters—and they were many— pinned their faith on Christian Keener (Red) Cagle, elusive halfback and an all-American last year. Behind a line that has not functioned properly all year, Cagle has had his troubles this season, but the sorrel-top always has been an ever-dangerous threat. It was Cagle’s farewell appearance in Eastern foot ball and he hoped to make it one that would be long r¢membered. With the exception of Moynihan, the Notre Dame squad was in first-class condition. Army matched this record with only Dick O’Keefe, halfback, in no condition to play. Cagle, John Hertz Haight, municipal playground depart- meak I} Murrel, Jim Glattly and Red Carver made up the Cadet backfield. Gebert, Schwartz, O’Conor and Savoldi were to start for the Ramblers with Elder, Carideo and Mullins in reserve. Of the 15 games played between the two institutions since 1913, Notre Dame has won 10; Army four, with one tie; Notre Dame has scored 178 points in the series against 149 for the o SOUTHWEST CROWN GAME AT FORT WORTH By the Assoclated Press.

TROIANS LOOK FOR HARD GAME TODAY Regard Washington State Dangerous Foe—Tilt Ends Coast Foot Ball. BY HOWARD JONES. Foot Ball Coach, University of Southern California. HE foot ball game between Wash- ington State and Southern Cali- fornia today in the Los Angeles Coliseum will officially close the 1929 Pacific Coast Conference season. All other teams finished their conference schedules last week. ‘Washington will give us & hard game. Anybody who saw the contest last year will realize that Coach Holllnsbary and his assistant, Bailey, are good developers of material, as their record shows, and Southern California will have to play its best foot ball and get an equal dis- tribution of breaks if the game is to be a close one. Last year the score was 27—13 in our favor, but in the second half the teams were tied at one time, 13—13. Wash- ington State made seven first downs to our six, and there was very little dif- ference in the amount of yardage gained by the teams. Any eleven which has a line as strong as Washington State's always has an even chance of winning. Although there are a number of new men in this line, they have performed well all Fall and are really seasoned now. Builds for Future. Hollingbery has al followed the plan of using many substitutes in his games, and in this way he is constant« ly building for the future. Washington State made more first downs and more yardage than Cali- fornia early in the year, but lost, 14—0. Forward passes brought defeat to the team in this game, and scouts tell me that Hollingbery has reconstructed his pass defense since then, so we mgy ex- pect trouble in gaining by this medium. Our game last year was featured by long runs and fumbles. Rohwer, no longer with Wash n State, returned the second half kick-off 95 yards for a touchdown. In the first half Duffield of Bouthern California carried & punt 65 yards to score. There were other long rTuns. Leading Scorer in Game. In Elmer Schwarts, a former guard, ‘Washin State has the leading scorer of the Pacific Coast, a player who has made 84 points this year. He is a big man, with plenty of drive, and our linemen will have to be on their toes if he is to be stopped. Lainhart, halfbacks, have done good ball carrying for Washing- ton State this year aiso. It will be the last conference game of their careersefor many of my players, among them Saunders, Ta) , Edel- son, Anthony, Barragar, Gt , Dye and Hoff. Naturally I will be sorry to see these boys leave Southern California. Such dependable players as Tappaan, Edelson and Galloway do mnot along every day.

It was agreed that each would write his answer to the question on a slip of paper. Both answers read “Ends.” ‘This will probably surprise some fol- lowers of the game whose mental p'~- ture of an end is a player of great skill and all-around ability, who lies in wait to pounce unerringly like a hawk and drive back the enemy. l':lheuutguthnéxmlllylnmdh layer who was not good enough f the backfield or the line.

When critics wonder why the coach does not use a certain play, often the answer is that he: has not the end needed to make it successful. After a coach selects his backs he' looks for tackles. On most teams the tackles usually stack uunmy well, be- cause the coach puts best linemen at the ition. the coach is in the unusual, but fortunate, position of hav- ing too many backs, the overflow can be made into ends. The old theory is that a tall, rangy player is necessary for end, but some great ends have been short. Sometimes sturdv little ends can handle the big tackles better than the tall ends. But they must be well-built and well-knit, and they should be quick as lightning.
