SPORTS. SQUADS GET LAST HARD TOIL TODAY Mills of Georgetown Is Not at Al Satisfied With Team’s Progress. BY H. C. BYRD. ITH the opening games less than 48 hours away, | local college foot ball | teams are being tapered off somewhat in their training, a somewhat different procedure | from the usual. The great ma- Jority of coaches pay little atten- tion to their first contests, as far as carrying out hard practice ses- sions is concerned, but a some- what different condition exists right now for the four local| schools that begin their schedules Saturday. Today's workouts are not likely to be hard, while to- | morrow may be almost a day of | rest. Catholic University, of course, is in Just about the same situation as a team ordinarily in the middle of the year.

Coach Tom Mills figures he cannot afford to take any chance of having Mount St. Mary's hand him an unex- pected jolt, mc:‘wfl.l let up on scrim- without the stimulus of ac And it may as well be told right here that Mills is not at all satisfied with the progress his squad has made. In !ut.jmtthcowmlnhme,;:hau e very much town is up against a difi- m in the development of its e ‘The Blue and Gray lost every one of its forwards of last year, except the center, Morris. Its second-string ma- terial & year ago, according to Lou Lit- tle, was poor, yet that is the only ma- difficult job, espe- cially as he must build that line to withstand the onslaughts of some of the toughest teams in the country. Georgetown may come along and do very well this Fall, but the chances are it will not do as well as it has during the last few years, nor as well as its adherents expect it to; if it does do as well, then it will be a great tribute to Mills’ coaching ability. Mills has just about decided on his line-up for the opening game. He ex- fic to start with Scalzl at quarter- | ck, Leary and Mooney at halfbacks and Bordeau at full. The line is likely to be made up of Leavy and Brennan at ends, Anderson and Dyer at tackles, Dubowski and Brickman at guards and Morris at center. backfield lines up with two of the four regulars of last, | year, with Mooney and Bordeau as the other two members. Bordeau was sub- stitute fullback last Fall and Mills | thinks he should be s great foot ball player.

Just w the Old Line outfit will line up at the start is not known, as it n@s on how well three or four con- siderably bruised men come around in pe. Maryland probably has spent the roughest September it has ever had in foot ball, and the players in many cases are showing the effects of it.

O almost every one, appar- ently, except Connie Mack, there always has seemed something darkly mysteri- ous about the drastic smash-up of the club that captured four pennants and three world cham- pionships. After the 1914 season and the team’s debacle in the world series with the Braves, Mack sud- denly asked waivers on his three pitching aces, Bender, Plank and Coombs, besides subsequently selling Collins, Baker, Barry and other stars. Many years later, Mack told me he did this, not because the team had be- come so monotonously god as to lose its drawing power; not because of any suspicion of crookedness or gambling, such as was gossiped about, but solely because of the fresh upheaval in or- ganized base ball caused by the launch- ing of the outlaw Federal League, and in_order to help “save the game.” When the famous “Black Sox” scan- dal of 1919 revived rurnors about the 1914 series, Mack declared himself plainly: e¢J ALMOST wish that team never had been broken up. Every time & gambling scandal, League of Na- tions or poor wheat crop is mentioned, sure enough they asked me whether that was not the reason I broke up the 1914 team. “Gambling had nothing to do with it. Surely the fact that Eddie Collins and through the White Sox expose shows what kind of men I had on my club. “If it hadn't been for the Federal League, that team of mine would have been winning pennants for years after it did, barring the deteriorization of age and love for life on the farm. “Look back at the faets in 1914 and you will find the explamation of our decline easily enough. The team that ‘Then later the boys began to hear and think about the heaps of money other stars were getting to jump to the new Federal League, backed by wealthy men all over the country. They thought they were entitled to it. The result was our morale soon went to smash. “The Red Sox came salong to worry us, won eight out of nine from us in September. When the world series ar- rived, as you know, we dropped four straight to the Braves. Boston's pitch- ers (James, Tyler and Rudolph) simply pitched us under the table. We never had a chance. ‘Y PROMISED my players if they would not jump to the Federal ve them something like what they thought they were worth. They were loyal, but I not ask or persuade them to stick.” In breaking up his club, Mack sold Eddie Collins “to " the ‘White Sox for a record price of $50,000.

LEATED warriors of Central and Gonzaga today were getting in final hard licks in preparation for their foot ball clash in Central Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. It is one of the most at- tractive opening games ever listed for scholastic gridders here. The Average Cardinals verage Bottomley . 208 Frisch E Adams Gelbert . Hafey .. Douthit .. Blue and the Purple long have been athletic foes. Indications are for a Central victory. The Columbia Heights squad has a seasoned and capable backfield which is considerably more than Gonzaga has. The lines of both outfits are made up largely of players of limited expe- rience. Centra¥ will be battling to avenge a 7-3 defeat handed it by Gonzaga in 1925 when the elevens last clashed. A 55-yard run by Johnny Bozek, now with Georgetown, gave the Purple their touchdown and victory in that memora- ble struggle. The triumph carried Gonzaga to the unofficial schoolboy title of the District, as Central had swept through its rivals in the public high school title series without being scored upon. In Larry Pinckney, Whitey Cumber- land, Gene Colella and Paul Hinkel Central has a backfield of proved worth, but Coach Ty Rauber is still uncertain as to line material. The Blue has lKlem.y of aspirants for the forward wall, but for the most part they are n.

Following the Poly game the Tech squad will hustle back home to catch some sleep before leaving here Saturday morning at 10 o'clock to meet Handley High in Winchester, Va., that afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. In facing Baltimore Poly the Gray will be gh ng the first night grid game in which a District schoolboy team ever has participated. In meeting Handley High less than 24 hours later it also will be pulling something else way out of the ordinary. Hardell sald today that while Tech, of course, wished to win both games the main object would be to give as many members of the squad as possible a chance to see action in actual com- petition. In fact, he plans to give every player on the roster a chance to play, regardless of the outcome. Like Central, Tech has a good backfield, but the line is decidedly uncertain. ‘Tech figures to start both games with this line-up: McKinney, left end; Harns, left tackle; Goldman, left guard; Mourhess, center; Rhodes, right guard; Capt. Kolker, right tackle; Stehman, right end; Sachs, quarterback; Nelson, left halfback; Reichman, right halfback; Yznaga, fullback.
