70,000 70 WATCH BATILE ON COAST Cagle of West Point Is Main Attraction of Classic Grid Encounter. BY RUSSELL J. NEWLAND, Associated Press Spe Writer TANFORD UNIVERSIT' December 28 —Army's _Cadets and Stanford's Cardinals, foot ball rivals from the extreme Eastern and Western sides of the country, meet here today in one of the year's intersectional classics, but the 70,000 or more spectators expected will attend mostly to witness the gridiron antics of Christian Keener Cagle, Army | haifback. The “Red Knight” of West Point has been one of the most widely publicized young men of foot ball in the last two | years. Much has been written of his uncanny ability to elude would- tacklers: his brilliant passing from the dead run, and his all-round “Lon Chaney” maneuverings on the field. In | short, his Far Western audience will not be surprised today if he changes into a foot ball and makes the winning touchdown. | A year ago this month Stanford | journeyed back to New York City and | soundly trounced the Soldiers. 26 to 0. That beating has been rankling for a twelvemonth. and the West Point squad not only will be seeking intersectional lagrels today, but good old-fashioned | foot ball revenge as well. | Finale for Cagle-Jones. | The two best known members of the | Cadet squad, “Red” Cagle and Coach | Laurence “Biff” Jones, will make their | final bows, and. strange enough, the foot bail finales will be witnessed 3,000 miles | from home and in the first appearance | of an Army team west of the Rockies. | Cagle will be graduated and Jones, the | man who developed him, goes back into | active service. | Those who make a close *study of the game, however, favor the Cardinals to take the measure of the invading stalwarts. Where Stanford has but | Cagle and his running mate, Johnny | Murrel, fullback, to stop, the Army boys | be called upon to halt the bail- | lugging advances of nine backfield | threats. The soldier offense is built almost _entirely around Cagle and is | supplemented by Murrel's infrequent work. h “Pop” Warner charge: | all his behind-the-line men with the duty of gaining yeardage.

Walter Heinecke, regular cent- er, is laid up with a cold and will be replaced by Perry Taylor, a rangy 200- pounder who lacks experience, but | whase defensive work is on a par with | that of Heinecke. | ‘The outcome of the game will be detérmined to a large extent by psy- | chology, Pop Warner has his Cardinals | working together as a unit, but whether they will be able to muster the same amount of fight that they did against Callfornia is proving a source of worry. If they can. a Stanford victory seems certain. If they can't, the Army may spring a surprise. The line-up: est Point. Positions 7 it gHEx Teit tackis Stanford. iller Hillsinger Perry | ‘Left by .

The clever back will change his pace. if he hasn't enough speed to outrun the iackler, and seek to cut in behind the tackler. Basket ball players do much the same thing. Take Michigan, for example, on its quick break following possession of the ball on a rebound. Her tall center. taking the long pass, will dribble if free. Last year as he neared the foul line he noted an opponent coming in for him at an angle from the rear, said opponent headed to meet him closer to the basket. Slap, both feet, went down upon the ficor. The dribble ceased afid the ball was on its way for the basket before the opponent could change course or stop in time to interfere. (Copyright, 1929.) PASSING T0 MARK DALLAS GRID GAE |Morrison Tactics to Prevail on Southwest Eleven in Clash of All-Stars. attack which the foot ball By the Associated Pres DALLAS. Tex., December 28— world has come to associate with Coach Ray Morrison and The same wide open, passing Southern Methodist University will be | in evidence when the Morrison-coached Southwest All-Stars and the Midwest All-Stars clash in their post-season bout, here Wednesday. A visit to the camp of the South- west stalwarts at Ownby Stadium re- vealed that much. Morrison, using one combination and then another from the wealth of material on hand, was tucking some kind of a lateral or for- ward pass into almost every play. Groups of T. C. U. and Mills of the Aggies were flipping the ball all over the field. The Midwest boys, from all indications, are due to see “an aecrial | display as is an aerial display.” After two days of intensive drill, the | | Southwest. eleven shapes up as a power- ful unit. In Mills and Grubbs, Coach | Morrison has a pair of passers after his own heart, and he has everything else to go with it, including a hea: a weakness appears on the ends. Offi- cials of the game have given up hope of inducing Wear Schoonover and “Big Un” Rose, all-Conference wingmen, to | join the squad. | " Coach Jimmy Phelan also put his | Midwest, players through two stiff work- outs. The way “Pest” Welch, all-Ameri- | can halfback, and the other huskies have thrown themselves into the short training grind is sufficient proof that they intend to give the prides of the Southwest the battle of their young lives. Indications were that Phelan's big team would concentrate on & hard running attack such as was used by the big six stars in crushing the Southwest last vear. Whether Welch. Walker, Holman and other crack ball carriers of the invaders can rip Southwest line to pieces like Bl | Howell did last year, however, remains to be seen. Jake Hanna, Centenary College's | celebrated little star, is due to see much service in the Southwestern backfield. , Jooks now like he and Dick Miller of Arkansas will join Mills and Grubbs in the starting backfield. 6.

This causes the shaft to slant upward and forward from the ground toward the green he is approaching. The result is that the ball is met by the club- head es it is descending. It must be struck or punched erisply in order to force the clubhead through the turf after contact.
