TARHEELS, VANDY BET MOST“VOTES” T'ennessee, Georgia, Florida and Kentucky Also Rated High by Experts. BY H. C. BYRD. REMARKABLE unanimity of opinion seems to.have developed among Southern foot ball coaches as to the elevens that should be at or near the top of the heap at the end of the coming season. Sometime ago it was predicted by somebody that North Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Tulane ought to be among the leaders, and since then several others, Including some of the best coaches in the South, have expressed themselves to about the same effect. From at least four coaches have come inions that have placed Vander- bilt and North Carolina as almost certain leaders. Sometime ago Bill Alexander of Georgia Teach, in a letter to the writer, stated that North Carolina, Tulane, Georgia and Vanderbilt ought to be at the top this year. He has since given that opinion” publicly, and has been backed up in it by others. Bob Ney- land of Tennessee has picked, without considering his own team, Vanderbiit, , North Carolina, Florids and Kentucky. For some reason he left out ‘Tulane, probably because he is not so familiar with its strength. Mike Ben net, former Sewanee coach, says that Vanderbilt and North Carojina should m the strongest elevens in the sec- ‘Would Lead Sections. As a . matter of fact, if the South were divided into four sections, it is likely that North Carolina would be picked to represent the South Atlantic, Georgia the Southeastern, Tulane the Southwestern, and possibly Vanderbilt the Northwestern. However, it is more than probable that some team will come along during the year to upset one,“muibly , of these favorites, N Carolina has a great lot of foot ball material, and it is virtually subordinating its other athletics to the development of foot ball. There is no doubt that it should be a hard nut for any of its opponents to crack. It seems to be the opinion of most coaches inbot:?

Tulane, in the of some coaches, hLas about best chance, with the exception of North Carolina, as It has back virtual- ly its whole team. As usual, southern teams will play & lot of good foot ball, and some two or three at the end of the year will stand out, but it is also fairly certain that lou:e :lu ]wh;.tl lno':ly see:: to be the strongesf the wayside, turned back by what now is considered llmuch weaker ag:ad. All :henaouthem elevens are reacil a goln where they 1ur schedules and good teams evs week that any team that gets a sea- son without a defeat or two has got to have some luck running its way, no matter how strong it is. Linemen Are Needed. As far as local elevens are concerned, 1t seems rather strange that from each of the three that already have a week or more of practice behind them, comes the same plaint—lack of line prospects. Georgetown says that it must rebuild its jorward wall almost entirely, as only one man, Morris, center, is back. The other six regulars were lost last Spring by on. University also says that it ., despite y & much graduati Catholic has a backfield situation that fs satis- factory, but cannot find in its squad enough heavy linemen to give the coaches any degree of satisfaction. Maryland also is having its trouble trying to. work out a combination for its forward wall. Local schools know that whatever the type of backfield they have, little ground is going to be gained if there is not a solid group in front of that backfield-to clear the way. A backfield without a line is somewhat similar to & snowbound train without a snow plow, George Washington begins its prac- tice Tuesday, and it feels that its pros- | pects are excellent. It has back nearly all its material of last year, both var- sity and freshman, and from that mate- GAX expects to build a strong combina- on. Work for the teams that already are out has not ‘been very strenuous. Coaches have been busy trying to shape up their squads to begin hard work when the weather gets sufficiently cool. Practice stunts in the way of punting, | forward passing, some charging and blocking, and general conditioning exer- cises have taken up most of the few days the squads have been out. From now on, however, the routine is likely to t harder and harder until in about wo more weeks the players will be roughing it about as much as they will have to at any time during the season. Several coaches in this section are in- terested in the gathering today in New York to discuss the rules and changes made since last Fall. Just how many will make the trip, however, has not been made known. Several have felt! they would like to go, but have given lack of time as a reason for not doing so. | V. M. I. LISTS SCRIMMAGE Coaches Feel F;nilure of Promising Gridmen to Return. LEXINGTON, Va., September 6— After a week of practice, during which conditioning work twice daily has fea- tured, the V. M. I Cadets face a period of rougher work, with scrimmages plan- ned. Coach Bill Raftery now has a squad of nearly 60. Line prospects brightened somewhat during the week with the return of Rochelle, a 1928 letter man. Lavinder star freshman quparterback last year, also has re-entered, but will be ineligi- ble this season. On the other hand, Coach Raftery has lost several promising candidates on whom he had counted to make a little easier his job of rebuilding the flying squadron. These include Brown, reserve back, who will be kept out of play by an old injury, while Chapman, reserve center; Renfroe, a likely look- ing end; Willlams, freshman fullback last year, and Hill, a lineman, will not- Teturn. DUKE’S LINE IS STRONG DURHAM, N. C., September 6.—Ends and centers will give Duke her best line talent and reserves during the season. There are nine good wing men and six centers on the squad, and all of them are doing good work. But in other departments it is an- cther story, for where there are indi- viduals to fit in there is'a dearth of seasoned reserves. ‘The first week of practice revealed a squad, with the backfield present- most serious problem. 3 TIPS ON FOOT BALL BY SOL METZGER. Some foot ball games are just like a horse race—over in a flash. That was true when Kansas Aggies beat Kansas University last year. It was modern down-to-the-minute strategy that did it, too. Neither team was doing much, as the defense of both was strong. The turn came after two consecutive first downs on tackle plays. The Aggies' quar- terback had noticed that Bausch, Kansas right half on defense, was coming up fast to back up the line, overeager to get into the fray. Whereupon this play was pulled at the 40-yard line, a real thriller if you ever saw one. Ball was v 2 Wy s H mlfped to the No. 2 back, who broke as if off tackle, the No. 1 and No. 3 bacl Suddenly No. 2 whirled and threw a fast lateral pass to Nigro, No. 4 back, who had faked to block the defensive right end. He then ran back some 10 yards. Nigro was not rushed. He had ample time. He calmly waited until Towler, his right end and No. 5 man in the diagram, had sprinted past the defensive backs. en he ripped a forward pass full 40 yards into the running Towler's arms. ‘Towler got to the 1-yard line and two bucks gained the much desired winning touchdown.

Central and Gonzaga Will be renew- ing an old rivalry. It is one of the brightest early season grid battles ever arranged for schoolboys! here. * Iv was in 1925 that the Blue and the Purple last clashed, and what a battle it was! Gonzaga won the game, 7 to 3. Central gained the lead at 3-0 on Augie Roberts’ field goal, but Johnny Bozek of Gonzaga ran 55 yards midway of the third period to score a touchdown. The victory gave Gonzaga the unofficiai city schoolboy championship since Central had won the public high title, triumphing over all four opponents without having its goal crossed. Tech's game with Baltimore Poly will be unique in that it will be the first night grid contest in which a Washing- ton schoolboy eleven has ever engaged. s - it PACIFIC A. A. U. SWIM LACKING IN THRILLS Helene Madison, Clapp apd Wiget Set Pace in Opening of San . Francisco Meet. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, September 6.— Little competition developed today in the opening events of the Far Western swimming championships, held under auspices of the Pacific Association of the A. A. U. Times were slow. Helene Madison of Seattle, holder of all woman’s world free-style records, was the feature swimmer of the day’s program. She swam in only one event, the 100-meter free-style for women, winning easily in the slow time of :09.6. Austin Clapp of the Hollywood Ath- letic Club and Ted Wiget, jr., Athens Athletic Club, Oakland, set the pace for man swimmers, winning the 800 meters and the 100 meters free style, respectively. Clapp’s time was 11:22 and Wiget's 1:03.9. The meet will close tomorrow with the 400 meters free style, 200 meters breast stroke and 800 meters club relay for men and the 200 meters free style for women as featured events. CLEMSON HAS 65 OUT. CLEMSON, S. C., September 6.—The first week of foot ball practice at Clemson College closed with 65 candi- dates on the fleld. STRAIGHT O NE week from today the gollers of the Washington Golf and Country Club will entertain their friends and associates from the Columbia Country Club, re- paying the splendid hospitality the Co- lumbia men showed on August 21 when they entertained the players from the Virginia club. Just as the match was played at Columbia, no attempt will be made to keep score, or to tabulate the results of the game. The sole idea of the affair is a good time for all. Washington golfers should be glad and grateful that their efforts to have at least one Capital representative made eligible for play in the national ama- teur champignship were crowned with success, with the admission of Miller B. Stevincon by the United States Golf The national golf body is faced with a thankless and difficult task when it attempts to weed out—from a list of more than 300 applicants—those | who might have a chance to play in the | ehampionship. | Three golfers from Washington ap- plied for permission to play in the | championship. They were Stevinson of | Columbia, the District titleholder at the | time of the application; Harry G. Pitt | of Manor, three-time winner of the Chevy Chase tourney and former Mid- atlantic titleholder, and John C. Shorey of Bannockburn, one of the very best of the local golfers. All were denied per- mission to play. But most of the clubs about Washington bombarded United States Golf Association with re- quests for reconsideration of the ap. plication of one of the men, centering | their elforts cn Stevinson because he was the District champion. Women players of the Capital will gather at the first tee at the Congres- sional Country Club tomorrow to play in a match play against par tourney, with full handicaps, to be staged by the Women's District Golf ~ Association. They are asked to report at the first tee betwzen 9 and 10 am. Mrs, | Frank R. Keefer, president of the women's golf organization, has ac- cepted a réquest that she play on a United States senior women's team; which' will meet a team of Canadian senior women players at Toronto late in September.

Schwartz is the 19-year- old Alexandria ringster, who has won his way into the hearts of home-town friends. The Alexandria boy has worked hard for the past two weeks and is prepared to put up a fast fight against his op- ponent, who is two years his junior.

Joe Hunter was second with 47. _Cain won high added target from Fawsett by default. In the Singer Trophy competition Dr. Wyncoop registered two wins, break- ing 24 out of 25 in the first event and 22 in the second. Legs in the first event also were won by Walter Wilson and Lyons.

The Bannockburn invitation tourna- | ment is the next big event on the tournament schedule about Washington and entries for the event will close with the golf committee at Bannockburn at noon tomorrow. The tourney opens Wednesday with the first half of a two- day qualifying round, ta be followed Friday and Saturday by four match- play rounds. Members of the Indian Spring Club are looking forward to another “stag night” affair at the club next ‘Wednes- day evening, when a series of boxing and wrestling bouts will be staged in an outdoor ring erected on the golf prac- tice field. Eagles were not so numerous in the District championship at Burning Tree last week, but probably Frank Roesch can attribute his victory to a brace of eagles he secured on the par 5 tenth hole. He bagged them in the second and fourth round. and the last one practi- cally put_the championship on ice for hin- C. D. Evans of Washington scored an eagle on the ninth hole. Roesch hit one of the longest tee shots we ever have seen on the sixteenth hole in the third round. From the back tee at that difficult sixteenth Roesch's tee shot went down a gully 340 yards from the tee and came (o rest on the upslope, leaving him only a mashie-niblick shot to the green, 485 yards from the tee. Two weeks from next Tueday Bob Jones will be in Washington playing in an exhibition match at Columbia for the benefit of Bobby McWatt, injyred professional, now living in Richmond. Jones and Roland MacKenzie, star Columbia amateur, will oppose Mac- Dondld Smith of New York, runner-up to Jones for the American and British open championships, and Fred Mc- Leod, veteran professional of Columbia. ‘That match should be thoroughly worth watching, for in addition to two of the finest amateurs in the world playing in the game, the gallery also will see two of the real veterans of the professional game, and men who can still step along with the best of them even though they are past the age which people usually associate with winning in_ golf. “Mac” Smith is 42 and Fred McLeod is 47.

FIGURES THEY ARE BEST IN BIG TEN THIS SEASON Looks for Nebraska to Shine Among Big Six and Notre Dame Generally—Intersectional Con- tests Dot Midwest Schedules. BY BOB Poot Ball Coach, University of Illinois. and Purdue in the Big Ten, Nebraska and ORTHWESTERN possibly Kansas in the Big good in the Middle West as the opening of the foot ball sea- ‘ Big Ten is like shooting at the moon. Most of our teams are evenly matched, and old rivalries inspire us. We de- stroy each other’s chances, and a team that emerges unscathed at the end of the season is as good as any in the land. This year, in addition to their usual formidable Big Ten sched- ules, six of our teams play outstanding intersectional games, and son impends. But guessing the two others card Notre Dame. Veteran teams, resting on past laurels, seldom come back, be- cause they have lost all the elixir of youth. Young teams which have this fire are dangerous, be- cause they are likely to kick out in all directions, but they will take some bumps while gaining experience. ‘The best situation is a mixture of veterans and youngsers in such a num- ber that no one is sure of a position. This provides spirit and morale. There is no special magic in any one sys- tem of coaching, for there are offen several ways of doing the same ‘thing in foot ball. Hard running and tackling, good blocking, good kicking and clever ball-handling will be the factors that will decide our big games, just as in the past. Teams Classified. On pre-season information I would divide the Big Ten into these groups: First—Northwestern and Purdue. Second—Michigan, Illinois, Minne- sota and Wisconsin. Third—Ohio State. Fourth—Chicago and Indiana. As Tow: reinstated in the good graces of the Conference too late to obtain a full schedule, encounters only one Big Ten team, Purdue, the Hawk- eyes, even if they win this battle, can- not be considered for the champion- ship. But supposing they beat Pur- due, will that reverse count against the present champions? There's a nice question. ‘With the exception of Chicago, Min- nesota and India: which play four Big Ten games, all the other Con- ference teams except Iowa have fiv Purdue has five in addition to Iow: ‘The Conference schedules and im portent intersectional games follow: Northwestern plays Ohlo State, II- linois, Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin, (Notre Dame). Purdue plays Michigan, Iowa, Wis- consin, Chicago, Illinois, Indiana. igan plays Purdue, Ohio State, Tllinois, Minnesota, Chicago, (Harvard). Tllinois plays Northwestern, Michigan, Purdue, Chicago, Ohlo State, (Army). Minnesota plays Indian: North- rvudo)em. Michigan, Wisconsin, (Stan- ord). - Wisconsin plays Chicago, Purdue, Ohio State, Northwestern, Minnesota, (Pennsylvania). Ohio State plays Indiana, North- western, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, (Navy and Pittsburgh). Chicago plays Wisconsin, Purdue, Tllinois, Michigan, (Princeton). Indiana plays Ohio State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, (Notre Dame). Jowa's most important games are with Purdue, Detroit, Marquette, Penn State and Nebraska, Northwestern is likely to be knocking at the door if Dick Hanley can de- velop reserves. Hanley has done a good job of coaching in his three sea- sons, but he has had more than' the usual bad luck which goes along with the game in the form of disabilities to key men. He has plenty of veterans His captain, Hank Bruder, crippled most of last season, should be one of the best haifbacks in the Conference. Rentner, a sophomore fullback, is sald to be stronger and more powerful than Berg- herm, leading Big Ten fullback last year, and he fits in well with the Warner system. Purdue Deserving. Purdue, last year's champion, de- served its honors, and in my opinion was as good as any team in the coun- try. Jimmy Phelan, a smart coach, has gone to Washington, but his suc- cessor, Noble Kizer, also a Notre Dame product, has been assistant coach for several years, so the transition should not create confusion. Purdue has lost a great tackle, Sleight, and two fine backs, Welch and Harmeson, but still has Yunewich, fullback, a splendid blocker: The great need will be tackles. Purdue's schedule is not so well ar- rangde as last year, when a non-Con- ference game before the Iowa contest was valuable, and Illinols is added. Nevertheless, I expect the boilermakers to be contender: There have been no Oosterbaans and Friedmans at Ann Arbor the last 10 years, and the old Michigan policy, “Hold 'em and wait for the breaks, has not been working so successfull} but the Wolverines will be tough nuts, I think. Coach Kipke had tough sled- ding at the outset last year, his first, but Michigan finished nicely, Jowa and beating Harvard and Min- nesota, which was fine for morale. Michigan Line Hit. Michigan has lost heavily in regular linemen, but eleven lettermen are avail- able for all positions, and Kipke had a fine Spring practice. Poor tackling in the open was responsible for most of Michigan's woes last season, and if this 1s corrected the eleven will be tough. When I observed recently that ma- terial was somewhat scant at Illinois this Fall, Knute Rockne immediately asserted this meant we would have an- other strong team. I hope he is right. It is the fashion to discount anything a coach says about the outlook for his team, and all I can do is outline the situation. We have lost practically all the stalwart linesmen, ends and backs who lost only two games in the last three years, and we must build all over again. Illinois has only four lettermen left from last year and at best only two can be considered regulars—Kawal, center, and Yanuskus, halfback. Our old line material consists of third- AVE NEW ON 4 - THESE CARS ARE ALL NEW WITH THE LATEST NASH FEATURES Sedans and Coupes Delivered WALLACE MOTOR CO. on sale at all the local clubs, and at \aports goods stores. - 1709 L St. N.W. tying | 1930—PART FIVE!

We will have some fast scampering backs, but it will be chance. good as a freshman back, but you never can tell until they hit the big time. There's a kick about working with a young squad, and I am not pessi- mistic. Herb Crisler, former Chicago player and assistant coach, succeeds Dr. Spea as coach at Minnesota. There were some old grad growlings when he was se- lected, though not against him person- ally, and too much importance need not be attached to this, for. the big thing is to have your own boys behind you, which Crisler's personality, character and ability probably insure. But it takes time for a new coach to become ac- quainted with his personnel and put in | his own system. Crisler had the ad- vantage of a good Spring practice, and, especially in his case, the opportunity was invaluable. Manders Is Groomed. Nagurski is gone, and most of the leading linemen, but about eight of the xteen lettermen available are lime players, including Apman of the 1928 squA Brockmyer and Riebeth head a group of experienced backs, so if the sophomore material stacks up the Gophers loom strongly. Jack Manders, a sophomore fullback, if eligible, is groomed as a worthy successor of Na- gurski. Last year Wisconsin won only one conference game, which was a blow to many supporters, who unreasonably as- sumed the Badgers would begin where they left off in 1928, as strong con- tenders. Wisconsin should be better, but everything depends upon the line, the weakness last season. The Badger line- men, despite excellent coaching, simply “squatted.” Coach Thistlethwaite’s backs look better than his line. He has about 14 lettermen, including Bel Sheehan and Lusby. My guess is that Ohio State will be somewhat better than last season. Start- ing his second year, Coach Sam Willa- man must replace more than half his . Of the 11 players who started the last game, six are gone, including Holman, quarterback. Fesler, end, is the outstanding player among the 11 lettermen. On- the face of it, Will man’s prospects are not brilliant. But nearly every position on the team will be open, and with spirited competition and good morale the Buckeyes may come along better than their outlook seems to indicate just mow. Last year Chicago beat Washington and Princeton, but won only one Big Ten game. On paper, the Maroons do not rate as well as 1929, as they have lost most of their line and are shy on sophomore material. Coach Stagg, | starting his thirty-ninth season, thus | faces another difficult task, but I look | to see him develop a team that will be | a threat, at least, by November. Indiana Outlook Dark. Chicago has lost Wattenberg, passer, who made the “flanker” forward pass play go over with such startling suc- | ces Van Nice, not the equal of Wat- | tenberg as a thrower, will replace him in executing the play, whiclt is the best forward pass strategy I ever saw. The backfield material is above the average of the last four years, and everything rests on the development of a line, i Pat Page has a tough outlook at In- diana, where he has lost most of his experienced players. He has only four | lettermen. 'The Hoosiers seek some | solace from the fact that they had a | strong reserve team last season, and | also have some likely freshmen. But | the outlook is not good, and Page will be entitled to credit for anything the Hooslers accomplish. I believe, Towa will be better than supposed, and will have a fairly good first team, although probably shy on reserve strength. Coach Ingwersen has lost Glassgow and Pape, backs, and some good linemen, and has only five regulars. ‘The Hawkeye backs are sald to be promising. The entire foot ball 'orla is glad to welcome Knute Rockne back to the job in good health. Notre Dame has lost a valuable group of regulars and rgserves, including Cannon, Moynihan and Twomey, outstanding linemen, and Rockne's chief problem is his line. However, eight of his fourteen letter- men available are line players. Notre Dame’s backfield looks good, | with such material as Carideo, Savoldi and Brill as a nucleus. The great strength of the Irish has been the ability to score from a distance, and Rockne will have the backs to do this, if he can develop a good line, which is probable. Reserve strength and morale are other factors in the success of the | Irish, and neither will be lacking. They face a schedule of nine games, Army, Navy, Northwestern, Carnegie, Southern California and Indiana, who were last year's opponents also, and Southern Methodist, Pefin and Pitt, which re- g_lnce Drake, Wisconsin and Georgia. ech. The chances are against the Trish again winning all their games, just as they are against any team, but I look for them to be strong. The “anti-shift” legislation will make no difference to Notre Dame and other teams employing a shift. Rockne has growled a little, but he isn't bothered, I'm sure. Any team that used a legal shift in the pi need not worry. The rule has always intended a stop of a second after a shift, and only has been clarifled. If you use an illegal shift iou are getting an unfair advantage like $200 NASH Gil Berry, a sophomore, looked as Low as $920.00 Equipped Decatur 2280 task to get a line to give them a | i sophomore one sprinter standing still and the other having a running start. Year in and out Nebraska is poten tially the strongest team in the Big 8ix because the Huskers have the man power, but last year they had a narrow squeeze to retain the championship, playing ties with Missouri and Oklahoma. Of course, Coach Bible was new. By this time he has had a chance to get his system working. He has a group of veteran linemen, but much depends upon the performance of his sophomore backs. It is safe to predict that the Huskers will be contenders. Kansas is regarded by many observers as likely to make a strong challenge. The Kansas freshmen walked over all opposition last year, and with 14 letter men returning Coach Hargiss will have an experienced player for every ition. Then there is Jim Bausch, fullback. 1 saw this Bausch play against Illinois in our opening game last season, and he took my eye then. He weighs about 200, but is fast and agile. A strong offensive player, he backs up the line on defense. Tigers May Get Fierce. Missouri has lost heavilly, but the Tigers, under Gwinn Henry, usually make it hard for their rivals. Last year a 7-6 loss to the Kansas Aggies cost Missouri the title, as it turned out. It twm not be safe to count the Tigers out. Oklahoma, which finished fourth last year, is likely to be better. The Kansas ggles, who were in the race until their last Conference game with Nebraska, have lost many good men, and Coach Bo xcMfllen will have to start bullding again, Iowa State lost all its five Confer- ence games last year, and .certainly should do better. Coach Workman has a comfortable nucleus of letter men, Several interesting _intersectional games will be played by Big Six teams, Nebraska-Pitt, Kansas-Pennsylvania, Missouri-New York and Iowa State- Illinois. Ossie Solem’s Drake Bulldogs, who won the Missouri Valley chnmpmnslm) again last year, look good, and willl make a strong bid for the title. Grin- nell, which tied Drake last year and was accorded a tie for the champion- ship, will play a full Conference sched- ule this season. Grinnell is expected to be good, but will probably fall short of last year's standard. Oklahoma Aggies, with Lynn Waldorf in his second season as coach, are like- 1y to be strong, carrying out the prom- ise of the closing games last year when they were going well. Creighton has a new coach, Arthur Stark, former Kansas Aggies player, who succeeds Chet Wynne. Creighton stacks up to have about the same strength as last year. Washington will have a new line, but a strong backfield. Last year Oregon State stopped the University of Detroit after Dorals’ team had won 22 straight victories, with one tie, Marquette, interspersed. Dorais has lost Brazil and a flock of other stal- warts, but the outlook is better than fair. Iowa, Fordham and Georgetown are high spots on a long schedule. Marquette expects one of the strong- est teams in its history, with a dozen veterans and strong sophomore ma- terial, both for line and backfield. Drake and Boston Colleges are regarded as the toughest obstacles in the path of Prank Murray's Milwaukeeans. Mich- igan State will have a green line and a veteran backfield. This will be the Second season for Coach Crowley, one of the Notre Dame Four Horsemen. Harold Smead, Michigan State's cap- tain, a strong center, has been lost be- cause of a motor cycle accident.
