THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER_ 14, 1930—PART FIVE, South Atlantic Grid Season Starts Early : School Squads Return From Camps SEVERAL SCHOOLS HAVE EASY TILTS W. & L., Virginia, N. C. State and Davidson to Play Next Saturday. BY H. C. BYRD. EVERAL of the colleges in what commonly is called the South Atlantic section are opening their foot ball schedules a week earlier than usual, In previous seasons a game before the last Saturday in September has been unusual, but this Fall an even half dozen in-| stitutions have games listed. | 8o, actually, the formal gridiron sea- | son is to be ushered in just a week | shead of time, if the last Saturday in the month be considered the usual opening date. ‘Washington and Lee and Virginia both are playing games this week, the former with Randolph-Macon and the latter with Roanoke College. Neither the Generals por the Cavaliers have been accustomed to starting until the | last Saturday in the month. Down in| North Carolina, Davidson College is to | meet Elon and North Carolina State has a contest with High Point. The two biggest schools in South Carolina have games, Clemson playing Presby- terian, and South Carolina facing Erskine. None of these games is likely to prove much more than a setup for the bigger of the two contending schools, but they will be foot ball games, all the same, and as such are sure to attract atten- tion. They are just the kind of con- tests that Virginia, W, and L. South Carolina and the others want to enable them to tune up for their later tests. Rhode Island State is about the only school in the so-called Eastern section of the country with & game, Out on the West Coast the Stanford eleven meets the West Coast Army un{:. Or gon State and Oregon University ha games with Willamette and Pacific Un! versity. University of W{omln. also has a contest with a small team. However, while South Atlantic schools break into action Saturday, several ames are listed at other places on ;fld‘y' night, which now seems to be coming somewhat into fashion. The game of greatest interest locally is that be played between the Marines and John Carroll Unwannk at Cleveland. Tom Keady is to take his team out to Cleveland Wednesday -night for about the earliest game he has ever played.

No player was allowed to remain in the game for more than & half hour, the average being about 20 minutes, and six full teams from each squad were used during the course of the Aahylnc. A few of the first and second choices the varsity were relieved, as the coaches are particularly anxious that none of their keymen should be in- or overworked early in the season. ‘The varsity, at the nning, lined up as follows: Left end, Byng: left tackle, Bowstrom; left guard, Und wood; center, Pray right tackle, Bryan; quarterback, Bauer; left half, Toth; fight half, Tschirgl: fullback Hagberg. Some of these look like first choices for the early games, while there is much gloubt as to other positions. Bauer and Hagberg are likely to start the backfield and Bowstrom and ryan are first choices fof the tackles. Gray, guard, and Byng, end, are others who look like fixtures. ‘The , for the present, are con- entrating on giving every candidate elementary instruction, rather picking & varsity.

GALIFORNIAN WINS BATTLE OF YOUTHS (Continued From First Page.) etched on Doeg's face, in lines of ‘weariness as he received the big silver cup emblematic of the forty-ninth winner of America’s proudest tennis classic. One of the first spectators to con- gratulate him was ’'s flancee, Miss Dorothea Scudder of Newark, N. J. ‘The new champion comes of a tennis family. His mother was Violet Sutton, one of the famous Sutton sisters, who were outstanding figures on the court 25 years ago. Doeg Is Experienced. Although he will not be 22 until December 7 Doeg is & veteran of three | years: of national and international play. But never before did he scale the heights that he attained in the tournament here this week. ‘The handwriting on the wall ap- peared last year when Doeg carried Tilden to five sets in the semi-final, a feat that gained him the No. 3 place | in the United States ranking list. Yet few gave Doeg more than the slimmest of chances to come through to the title when he began play with 94 others a week ago. Doeg was not to be stopped, however, and after drawing a bye in the nrstl round, he defeated in succession W.| Barry Wood of Boston, Harvard's fa- mous foot ball quarterback; Lieut. R. M. Watt, jr, of New York; H. G. N. Lee, the t of the invading Eng- contenders; then Hunter, Tilden and finally Shields. llxy felt that Shields, playing won- tennis in the other half of the draw, would catch Doeg on the rebound from his viciory over Tilden and beat Shields Slight Favorite. In fact, the popular opinion in the | stands appeared slightly stronger in| favor of Shields’ chances as they ltlrl-; ed play, an hour and 40 minutes behind schedule because of @ long-drawn-out | final for the National Veterans' cham- plonship. ‘There followed 2 hours and 32 min- | utes of constant struggle after a terrific | service duel. Doeg finally took the first set only to have Shields hit one of his | streaks of inspired tennis and sweep the second with loss of only one game. In this sudden flash of tennis genius Shields was invincible. Once he shot over three successive first-ball service aces, a department of the game, in- cidentally, in which be outdid Doeg | himself. Shields served 14 aces in the four sets while Doeg, who put over 29 against ‘Tilden the day before, had to be con- tent with 9. This is partly accounted for by the remarkable “gets” which Shields made of Doeg's furious cannon- In the third set Doeg was able to check the rampant charge of his oppo- nent with the aid of some remagkable volleying. Breaking through his service once, Doeg took the set for a 2—1 lead. Fourth Set a Thriller. ‘The fourth set was a thriller in which games mounted upward with Shields repeatedly forging ahead on service. In the eighteenth game, twice in the twen- tleth and again in the twenty-eighth s.hi:ld.s held set point only to be turned ck. At last it was Doeg who scored the preclous service break, taking the twenty-ninth after it had been carried to deuce. Face to face with defeat in the next game, Shields fought like a tiger. few moments before he had suffered a painful fall in making a sensational winning shot. His white clothes were smeared with dirt. But he was the mwra of grim determination as he k a lead of 40—15 with the aid of two plnem:lnnl:i one & lob that nicked the corner 3 Two rounnf overhead placements by Doeg made it deuce, Shields gained the 'vantage on an out off a perfect lob only to have Doeg force a net and make it match point with another overhead placement. Shields came back to tally two more placement drives, but two nets from his racquet followed. ‘With' Doeg at match point again, a gredt drive forced him to hit outside. Byt Doeg had two more of those umnhlnhovnhmun in his bag. He flashed them now for the winning points and a new king was crowned.

F as any too rosy, according to Teports, but now word comes that things are taking on a brighter color. H. G. Murphy, graduate man- ager of athletics on the Hilltop, thinks that conditions seem much better, and says that Coach Tom Mills also is de- veloping an optimistic line of rea- soning. Murphy sums up Georgetown's pres- ent situation remarkably well in this way: “Coach Tommy Mills has begun to vary his pessimistic outlook for the coming grid campaign. Mills, starting his first year at Georgetown, difficult schedule, inaugurating system and -left with practically a rookie squad, had more than sufficient reason to be downcast about the im- mediate future. The past week, how- ever, has given cause for a brighter outlook. “The squad has been unusually alert about grasping the intricacies of the Notre Dame system, and many a sup- posed weakness has begun to disappear. Dubofsky and Katalinas have shown | up remarkably well at tite tackle posi- tions. Leavey and Brennar. have done ood work at the end, and show prom- e of further development. Capt. Bill Morris has lost all effects of his old| injury and is reproducing his Brilliant play of the past. “An_interesting battle for the quar- terback position is being waged by Scalzi and Danieu, and continues to be @ neck-and-neck affair. Mills merely grins and makes no comment as to the relative standing of the two. John Bozek is playing a sensational game, the same that brpught him fame under Lou Little. He is further aided and abetted by the younger Bozek, Emile. He looks to be a likely successor to his famous brother, and he probably will make for himself the other halfback position. Bordeau, who played a few games last year, has the edge on Gillis for the fullback position. “With three weeks before the opening game, it is very likely that Georgetown will send a team into competition that will be on a par at least with the Georgetown teams of the past. - The eleven will play practically a road game, which may handicap it somewhat. ‘With the exceptions of the home-com- int game with West Virginia and the Michigan State game in Washington, an intersectional opponent the im- rtant contests are scheduled abroad. ‘estern Maryland at Baltimore, Vil- lanova at Philadelphia, New York Uni- versity at New York, Boston College at Boston, Detrolt University at Detroit and Loyola University at Chicago.

Illini Outlook Makes Zuppke ‘Moan, but His Rivals Worry By the Assoclated Press. HAMPAIGN, Ill, September 13. —Foot ball prospects at the University of Nllinois this Fall are so gloomy that Coach Bob Zuppke and his rivals are worrying. Coach Zuppke, eenth season at the helm of the Iilini machine with a real man sized sched- ule ahead of it, frets because he be- lleves he will have only & young and faulty eleven.. His opponents worry that the “Flying Dutchman” is about to spring on them another one of his teams with & punch in every position. They recall how “Zup” worried in 1927 and how he turned out an unbeatable Zuppke means and his foot ball team, just m. “Whenever groans about duck for cover,” one Big Ten coach | said. “He's got something up his sleeve.” Lost 14 of Great Team. But from an impartial canvass of the Ilini propects, the situation in Zuppke's camp this Fall does not appear bright. He lost 14 men from his great 1029 team, a combination that won two titles and one second place in three straight nd while he has a world of ma- it appears to be of the untried sort. In short, the team is one of the big question marks of the 1930 foot ball campalgn. ugne‘nm the 1929 team stalwarts, “Gaga” Mills, Judd Timm and Frank Walker, a great trio of backs; Fritz Humbert, one of the best plunging full- backs the Big Ten ever knew; “Frosty” Peters, quarterback, whose toe won | many games for the Tllini; Capt. Crane and Weitz, guards; Gordon and Bur- dick, tackles, and Wolgast and Jolley, ends. Of the 1929 regulars, about which “Zup” must build a new team, are Ed Kawal, a great center; Ott Hills, a tackle; Pete Yanuskus, a fleet back who showed up well during the close of the 1929 season, and Olaf Robinson, a bruising type of fullback, who may help the Iliini forget about Humbert. us, Zuppke finds it necessary to de- velop a team from regulars and his usual large crop of reserves. Many of these reserves saw action im some of last Fall's games, but the danger of a shaky start because of lack of experience is imminent. Must Start All Over. “We must build all over again” A4 Zuppke said. “The line will be faster but lighter and greener; the backfield will be fast but lacking in passing and kicking; the team will be young and young teams make a lot of mistakes, although they sometimes kick out in all directions and upset things.” Zuppke has two great prospects for uarterback in Ernie Ui a e rom Taylorville, Perrine, who despite his 1 a good runner and field general. Evans of Dayton, Ohio, and Clark Root from Urbana, Ill, also look like bets for the other backfield positions. Both are very fast runners. Boyd Owen of South Bend, Ind., and Mark Swanson of La Grange, Ill, give him two six-foot ends with plenty of speed it they uveloyl.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. September 13.— | An air of ofumism rarely found in any foot ball training camp prevalls at Hoxton Fleld, where the Episcopal High School eleven is in training. Episcopal | opens two weeks from today sgainst Eastern High of Washington. Eight letter men, three in the forward wall and five in the backfield, and a flock of promising newcomers and sub- stitutes left over from 1929 furnish the foundation. ‘Two wingmen from the '29 combina- tion are drilling in Charley Hooff and Clifford Swift. Al Orrick and Charley Hancock, who held down substitute roles last Fall, are also available. Hooff and Swift, both of whom won their “E” last year, and Jesse Stocker, stalwart guard, form the veteran trio left in the Episcopal line. Bill Mapp, Blll Zimmerman and Tom Evins are battling for the other guard post. Niel Roberson, a '29 sub; Bob Train, John Mapp and Lawson Calhoun are regarded as those most likely to fill the brogans of last year's tackles, both of whom have graduated. ‘The center post is also open to - ment with Jack Pinner of Suffolk, Va,, varsity center at Virginia Episcopal School last season, standing out. Five letter men and four brilliant new arrivals give a wealth of material in the offensive department. The veterans are Stapleton Gooch, quarterback: Scoville Tilton, Pat Braw- ley, Acy McDonald and Henry Mitchell, halfbacks. Billy Gooch, & ther of the varsity quarter; Clarence Sherrill, Peter Willlams and Buddy Mizell are outstanding among those aspiring to displace the regular backs. ‘The Episcopal schedule is as follows: September 27-—Eastern High. motgwber fiucx&lfi“}'{‘ch l‘! ‘Wash- gton; 11, Augus iry _Academy at Fort Deflance, Va.; 18, PFishburne Military Academy; 25, Swavely Prep 8chool.
