- APPEAR SATISFIED Both Squads Likely to Take Workouts Today on Home Fields_. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN and George Washington bring their foot ball squads back to their own flelds today| after what they feel has been a very productive three weeks m: training camps. It is expected thie Hoyas and Colonials will be in readiness by this afternoon for a workout. It is not likely that either of the two coaches, Tom Mills of George- town or Jim Pixlee of George ‘Washington, has any intention of losing a day on the field if he can help it. From frequent reports that have come here, “ both Georgetown and George Washington are Pretty well satisfied with their advancement. The former | seems to have an excellent array of backs, hardly knowing which of three sets form the strongest varsity combi- nation, but is not completely satisfied by any means with the forwards. The linemen have not been working as| smoothly as Mills expected, nor smoothly as he expects to have them working _when the opening game is layed Saturday. Possibly they have just not been at it long enough to get t knack of working together on dif- ferent men at different times according to the way the defense is playing. ° No note of seems to em- | anate from the George Washington squad. pBarenny with plenty of ma- terial for all positions, with a good staff of coaches, the Colonials have about everything that goes to make up a good f.ot ball squad. The outlook for a successful season is bright, and it may be that the team will go through its "'e‘hedme with evexll l:re:emr success than supporters anticipate. As ?n.r as .the development of their is concerned, neither Mills nor lee has made a single complaint about the situation. They feel that they have made about as great advancement a8 the time they have been ‘worl , unless they had even better material to work with, and, that being true, neither feels that there is any rea- son o be other than fairly well satis- fied over the results attained.

Breaking Into the Battle, | ERION, Pa, September 22.— ‘This amateur golf champlon- ship is a test of match play at 18 and 36 holes, but before match play starts there is a slight for- mality that has to be looked after. ‘This consists in qualifying for match play through two rounds of medal play, and these two rounds of medal play will eliminate about 80 per cent of the field by Tuesday night. So through today and tomorrow there will be few thoughts about match play until these two 18- hole rounds of medal scoring are com- pleted, leaving only 32 survivors from the big cast now struggling through practice rounds over the Merion course. These qualifying rounds always are full of surprises and upsets and more than passing anguish. Many good ones always fall by the wayside. A few un- knowns nearly always hit their peak at the big moment and crash their way It will be a far tougher battle than usual on this occasion, for ip addition | perhaps 180 and no 145-pounder ever was txlcker or more slippery in cn:?- dng the ball.

If each golfer could play close to his top game today and tomorrow it would take something under 150 to make the grade, counting the two rounds. As it is, something like two 78s will just about do it. s The main idea is to have the head- liners slip through for the sake of the match play show, but they are all on their own. This includes such entries as Jones, Johnston, Von Elm, Voigt, Moe, Wihling, Ouimet, Goodman, Evans, MacKenzie, Tolley, Perkins, etc., and some of these will be left out, probably. The Younger Flock. 'HE field is full of young stars who may be heard from in louder tones than several of the veterans, Two of the best of these are Johny Good- man from Omaha and Don Moe from Portland, Ore. Both are under 22 and both are capable of brilliant golf. Last September Goodman eliminated Jones and Moe carried Volgt at a hot pace all the way down the stretch in the best scoring match of the cham- plonship, McCarthy, Homans, MofTett, Seaver, McHugh and Lawson Little make up another set who might cause trouble. Lswson Little from San Francisco is the long-hitting young star who beat Goodman at Pebble Beach and carried Ouimet to the thirty-sixth hole, where both got birdie 4s and where Ouimet had to hole a 20-foot putt to win 1 up. Bobby Moffett recently had a 66 over the national links and he has made a fine showing in tournament play this Summer for an entry who is only 18 years old. g But these are only a small part of the young, ambitious shooters trying desperately to finish among the 32 who will be left on Tuesday night.

Experience counts heavily in these two medal rounds, but I have an jdea there will be a bunch of younger years written on the calendar by Tuesday night. The Main Excliement. HERE is much more keenness and genera] interest shown by the gal- ley here than one usually finds. There will be larger and more excited crowds this week, for the simple reason golf never has presented a case before where one man was after his fourth major title in ope season—and this is the last stand, the climax. The bulk of excitement centers around Bobby Jones, who is (ncln%n chance no other golfer ever knew be- fore and no other golfer ever again will know in the lifetime of this generation. What may happen when we are all dead will matter more to other gener- ations than it will to those who wiil be contributing their dust to the divots of the future. Figured out by the cold law of probabil- ities, this should be the easiest of the four champlonships for Bobby Jones to win. But that means nothing in a game that has the ebb and flow of golf. Mental attitude for the day is a big part of any golf game, and no one can forecast the mental attitude of Jones on Wednesday when he stands face to face with the big chance. Bill Tilden had his chance to break all records for an eighth crown at Forest Hills, and how many figured Johnny Doeg would block his road? And tennis runs truer to standard form than golf runs, since it is impossible to bring &s much direct pressure on & golf opponent. If a golfer is hitting his shots and holing his putts there is no way to stop him. At Pebble Beach a year ago Johnny Goodman opened his attack on Jones by winning the first three holes. A missed shot by Jones at the first—a stymie at the second and a 10-foot putt for a 3 by Goodman at the third— and there the Georgian was 3 down be- fore he knew the match was under way. There is a big difference in be- ing 3 down with 15 holes left and 3 down with 33 holes left, over the longer route At Interlachen Goodman was 4 un- der par going to the eleventh hole in the first round. That might have hooked anybody. 'HERE are those who think the odds against Jones should be 2 to 1 and others, including several weli known pros, who think the odds should be 6 to 5 on Jones against the field. At least it is a big change from the old days when the odds on a star against the field were 1 to 7. In the meantime, it will be interest- ing to see just how they stand tonight at the end of 18 holes. There will be more than a few who will sleep but little as they stand on the narrow ith the local pro on guard, watc] the work of the home-town Kid ledge of & 79 or an 80.

VERY dog has his day, and so does most every college freshman — when he be- comes a sophomore. But the hitherto lowly American. Uni- versity frosh are having their days right now—while in their greenest stage—for much of the success of the Eagles’ 1930 foot ball edition rests upon the sturdy shoulders of several of these neophytes. When the average local foot ball fan begins to talk about college grid pros- pects he doesn't mention American University in the same breath with the larger local and nearby seats of learn- ing, but, just the same, Coach Walter Young, the youthful mentor, had and still has a job on his hands which is as big s any of 'em. Last year, his first at American Uni- versity, Coach Young called out his squad, and less than enough to make up & first and second team turned out, making actual scrimmage almost im- possible. Twenty-three Have Reported. ‘This year 19 aspirants reported right off the bat, and since the squad has been increased to 23 candidates, the largest number ever to turn out at A. U. This doesn’t sound like a whole lot, but it has pepped up athletics at the Eagle institution aplenty. “We're banking on the frosh this year,” declared the chipper young coach, “and if they come through we ought to make a good showing. The boys are coming along nicely now and are looking forward to that game Sat- urday with Shenandoah.” Coach Young has lost no time in making hay while the sun is shining. With the innovation of having two complete elevens and five subs to boot, he has been scrimmaging ‘em daily, and the tentative first-string eleven has been moving like a well-olled machine. ‘Three freshmen already have clinched regular posts. Bill Fuchsle, who hails from Kingston, N. Y., is on left end; Willlett Denit, who captained St. Al- ban’s last year, is holding down a guard berth, and George Borsari, a Middle- boro, Mass., product, is dof the quar- terbacking. Future Looks Rosy. ‘Ted Lytle, & freshman from Ruther- ford, N. J., is battling Fred Johnson for the center post, while Phillip Chates, another Middleboro product, and Lee Esper, from Altoona, Pa., are receiving their share of work at halfback posi- tions. Young is wearing a big smile now- ada) for the future looks rosy. addifion to those six frosh who have displayed potential ability, the rest of the squad, with the exception of Carl Levine, tackle, and Dick Jarvis, hal back, is expected to return next yea: Eddle Parks, star end; Fred Johnson, center, and Forrest, Diehl, back, are sophomores, while Russell Lambert, tackle; Milton Folston, 275-pound guard, , and Reds Olsen, halfback, are juniors. The Eagle squad has been fortunate in that only one injury has been suf- fered, and that one has been slight. Forrest Diehl, backfield candidate, was on the sidelines for a while last week with a knee injury. Young's policy, from the start of his term at American University a year @go, has been to build for the future, and it appears as though he is in a fair ‘way of carrying out his pi and yet at the same time put a formidable eleven on the fleld this year, CHAMP OVERLOOKED IN JONES’ GALLERY Johnston, Unobtrusive Spectator as Emperor Struts, Hopes Bobby Will Win Title.

Mary's Celtics scored their fourteenth and fifteenth consecutive victories yesterday afternoon by defeating two Washington clubs, Skinker Bros. Eagles and the Co- lumbia Heights A. C, in a double- header played at Baggett's Park before nearly 1,000 fans. Skinker Bros, Eagles were easy vic- tims of the Green and Gold sluggers, falling by & count of 12 to 6, but the Columbia Heights combination present- in “Shout” Taylor one of the most effective pitchers to face the Celtics this year and gave the locals a stern test before losing, 1 to 0. ‘The deciding factors in the pitchers’ battle between Taylor and Lefty Mc- Intire, the Celtics’ ace, were a long triple by Art Ludlow and a subsequent two-base hit by ‘“ y"” Goodwin, which drove Ludlow across the plate in_the fourth inning. Mcintite let the Columbia Heights tossers down with five hits, singles, three of which were collected by Tay- lor, while the Celtics were credited with eight safeties. Ludlow and Joe Hamil- ton accounted for half of that number, the former accounting for a triple and double and Hamilton coming h with a pair of singles. It was & good day all around for Mc- Intire, who relieved Pete Ball opening the fourth inning of the first game on the program, and held the Eagles to three hits and scoreless over the re- mainder of the route. McIntire fanned 15 men during the two games, striking out six Eagles and nine Columbia Heights batters.
