Catholic U. Is Hopeful for Saturday : Newcomers Please Georgetown Mentor HAS SEVERE TEST IN BOSTON CLASH Other of Inaugural Contests Likely to Develop Play of Midseason Tint. BY H. C. BYRD. HILE this Saturday goes no further in foot ball than to mark the gen- eral opening of the sea- son, when teams of wide variance in strength usually meet, several | contests are scheduled that may develop into something more than | the usual opening set-up for one| eleven and & good beating for the | other. | And in one of what apparently may | be the hard, closely contested struggles | one of the iocal schools, Catholic Uni- | versity, is to play what it hopes may be a big role. Other games likely to develop into worthwhile contests are on both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. Taking Catholic University first, it seems that there is a chance the local school may give Boston College a great battle, with, of eourse, an outside chance for victory. Coach Bergmann says that he has nine men who could make almost any college team, and Bergmann is a coach. This combination ought %o produce a team capable of giving Boston College & wild afternoon. And, remembering back as far as last year, Catholic University gave the Bean- eaters the scare of their lives then, losing only 6 to 13. This Fall the local schools feels that it will go North with @ better team and a far better chance to put scross something worth while. Georgia Is on Guard. Down in the South two games are scheduled that may develop into almost midseason frays. At Durham, N. C, the Duke eleven entertains South Caro- lina, and the latter is said to have one of the strongest combinations in its history, possibly the strongest. Duke also is likely to have a good team. This is the first game between two Southern Conference schools. The other Southern g:u that my,Pmduce fireworks is that in which Oglethorpe and Georgia hook . Last year Oglethorpe took the measure of the Athens eleven and, incidentally, is confident now that it has & good chance to turn the trick again. Georgia, however, smarted a good deal under the whipping it took in its open- ing game in 1929 and it probably is bending its efforts very conscientiously toward being the one in a position to last. Both these contests, though, are likely to be far better than usually are played in the South on the last ‘was victor by a 0.

Of the three games to be played on local flelds, all are likely to result in victories for the teams that make their homes here.

Both Wi n and Lee and Vir- the two South Atlantic schools t opened their schedules last week, | some respects are gratified over the | work their teams did and in some other Tespects are not. Jimmy Driver, ath- letic director at Virginia, said over the phone this morning that “We played | some good foot ball and we also played some poor foot ball. We have a lot to learn and are not arousing in ourselves any false hopes because we won from Roanoke by a big score. Last year we felt at the start of the season that we | ‘were going along well and then we be- gan to take our bumps. This vear we | are going to wait to deliver before we believe anything, no matter how well ‘we play in our first couple of games.” Washington and Lee people think that their team clicked better than any previous Washington and Lee team in years in an opening game, with the ex- ception of one season when North Caro- lina State was soundly trounced. And with all that it is caid that the Generals are being brought alo) more slowly this Fall, so that they may run no risk of going off color later in the year. But the Generals' line play did not measure up and they think a good deal of effort will have to be expended to bring that feature of foot ball up to the desired standard. LET US FEED YOUR CAR!

HICAGO, September 24.—Coach Noble Kizer of Purdue has lo- cated a backfield man, who ap- pears capable of doing mafor league punting—something the Boller- makers need—but the problem of find- ing & place in the line-up for the kicker still remains. George Weaver, a senior, and & quar- terback by trade, has bullt up quite an edge over the rest of Kizer's kickers. However, he stands little chance to tak- ing the quarterbacking job from Jack White, and Jimmy Purvis, Lewis Pope and Risk are much superior as half- backs, while Alex Yunevitch is an odds on choice as fullback. So Kizer is try- ing to improve the kicking of Pope, | Moss, Hortsman ‘;:n Purvis. Lighter worko! were scheduled for most Big Ten camps today. Wisoonsin's squad found the Weather so warm yes- terday that it failed to function well, and a rest was Coach Thistlethwaite’s order. Michigan had a routine program today, but 1 hold its last scrimmage tackling Denison and Michigan Normal Saturday afternoon. Coach Bob Zuppke today went to work on the job of whipping into shape a center to replace die Kawal, who esterday was declared ineligible. The fnu was a tough one and left Zuppke with only three front-rank Ilini vet- erans. Ted Schumacher, a 162-pounder, and reserve center for the past two years, was the choice. A battle for the quarterback assignment has developed at Indiana, with Ashby and Brubaker, veterans, and Dauer, a newcomer, pro- viding the contention. Pat Page also is looking for another tackle to pair |up_with Jasper. Ohio State and Minnesota, which with Michigan and Indiana, will play their openers Saturday, also settled down to polishing what offense they have worked out, while the other members continued more lelsurely. AVOID SIGNAL CALLING Only One Player at Washington University Wants Job. ST. LOUIS, September 24 (#)—The quarterback position has lost its charm, at least to 40 candidates for the Wash- ington University foot ball team.

There he goes sprinting along back of his line of scrimmage, giving ground to the right rear as he runs to pre- vent being downed by some eager opposing lineman. Looks like a sweep around the right end. No, 1 back blocks this end, and the No. 5 lineman is leading the interfer- ence, diving into the legs of the de- fensive full as the latter rushes for- ;\lrlnrd to tackle. That disposes of m. Up comes the left defensive half to stop the runner. As he lunges at him on the line of scrimmage, No. 4 tosses the ball wide to the right rear, a lateral pass to his No. 3 back, who is clear for a touch- down because the other two de- fensive backs have been aceounted for by linemen, Nos. 6 and 7.

ALO ALTO, Calif., September 24 —Master strategist and peren- nial creator of new plays, Coach | Glenn Warner of Stanford Uni- | versity will gamble for foot ball for- | tunes this season with a seatter-box puzzle termed “formation C" and a | funny quick kick which may or may | not upset the calculations of opposing | teams. | The “Old Fox" of the gridiron, w | favored the game in the early 5 | with the “hidden-ball trick and | “statue-of-liberty” play, has evolved a | line-up for his men which, he believes, | will be foolproof when it comes to run- | ning off the intricate reverses and fake reverses for which Stanford teams are | famed. | Those who follow foot ball have dubbed it formation C, largely for the reason that in 1928 Warner introduced a formation and last year took the sec- ond letter of the alphabet to design: another style of play. Briefly, the n | formation differs from its predecessors |in that it functions with a balanced |line, rather than having two and four | men stationed on either side of the | snapper-back. ‘The end split out, to be free for passes, and the halfbacks |in position & yard back of the line take care of the two holes when necessary. From this formation, the Cardinals will run off their huge assortment of about 50 plays. Haying been tricked |for two years by Southern California's quick kick, Coach Warner will offer |his own econception of this sudden | method of transferring the ball. It will differ in that the ball is contacted by three men, snapperback, quarterback and fullback. The quarterback holds the ball as for a place kick, except off the ground, and the fullbagk boots it from close behind the line.
