It's Navy's ball past midfield, and while William and Mary may not be Stiff opposition when these elevens lash at Annapolis this Saturday, you may look for Bill Ingram’s gobs to be uncorking some mid-season foot ball. You see they travel to South Bend for their annual tilt with the Pighting Irish a week later, so they have to know their stuff now or never. It's an unbalanced line and double wing back formation that Ingraham’s Middies use. They have been held for a rush and want to open up the defense so their running attack will get under way. Hence this cork- ing play. No. 4 starts ere the ball is snapped to No. 3, who receives it and gives ground to the rear, breaking back fast so he will be clear of opponents when time comes to uncork his pass. | Note the Navy ends. They swing wide downfield to draw apart the defensive secondary. No. 4 runs as on running plays, except that he cuts through the line more sharply in order to invade the territory vacated by the William and | Mary secondary. And here he gets the forward pass that is & mighty clever one. 64 Elevens Yet To Meet Defeat By_the Associated Press. YORK, October 13.—Figures complled by the Associated Press list 64 undefeated and untied foot ball teams, 22 of them with un- crosed goal lines. The current lead- ers are Oklahoma City University of the “Oklahoma Big Four,” Clemson of the Southern Conference, Mon- tana State of the Rocky Mountain Conference and Rice of the South- western Conference, all with four victories and no defeats or ties. Sco''ng laurels in the list go to Colgate, which has rolled up 178 points in three games against none for the opposition. Just behind are two more Eastern elevens—Cornell with 174 and Dartmouth with 173. 13 PROVES NO 23 FOR BRUDER'S JINX Smallpox But One of Many Ailments Marring Purple Grid Star’s Career. By the Associated Press. VANSTON, II1, October 13.—Hank Bruder, Northwestern's foot ball captain, is hunting for some- thing more potent than No. 13 as a jinx chaser. Bruder, whose latest piece of bad luck is a mild case of smallpox, wore No. 13 on his jersey in the Tulane game a week ago as a gesture of deflance to the jinx which kept him off the gridiron during most of the 1928 and 1929 seasons. No. 13 worked against the Southerners, but lost its potency Priday when Bruder was found to have smallpox. The Wildeat halfback played in three games in 1928 before a muscle injury sent him to the sidelines. Last Fall he started brilliantly, leading his team to & 7-to-0 victory over Wisconsin, only to suffer a leg fracture near the end of the game. Hope It Will Not “Take.” About 300 members of the varsity and freshman squads, fraternity broth- ers, classmates and members of the athletic department at Northwestern with whom Bruder mingled the past week, today were nursing vaccinations, and hoping they would not “take.” Dr. §. J. Lang, university staff phy- sician, said almost all had previously been inoculated, and that it was not likely that positive reactions would ap- pear to keep the vaccinated gridmen from the field. Bruder's case was described as mild, and it is expected he will be in uni- form in time to play against Minnesota November 1, leaving the Wildcats to do without him against Illinois Satur- day and against Centre the week fol- lowing.

No, No. 13 didn’t hoodoo him any! And do you think the fact that to win his fourth major crown in one year and set an almost impossi- ble golf record—Bobby Jones also was after the thirteenth major cham- pionship of his career—jinxed the Atlanta wizard in any way? To the contrary, the United States amateur tournament at Merion recently was one of the easiest that Bobby ever waded through to victory. Now consider the case of Hank Bruder, captain of the Northwestern University Wildcats. Hank's 14 points (no relation to Woodrow Wil- son's) defeated Tulane at Evanston on October 4, and every one was pulling for this fine back to have a good year, after two seasons, dur- ing which injuries prevented him from reaching the glory his abilit; entitles him to.

Marions came through with a 6-0 win that was something of a surprise over St. Stephen's in the unlimited group. Brookland’s eleven conquered Quentins, 6 to 0, and Mercurys hung & 13-to-0 defeat on Alpha Delta Omega gridders of Alexandria in other un- limited tilts. Palace D. G S. routed Mardfeldts, 42 to 0, in one 150-pound section en- gagement, but the other three matches in this group all resulted in ties. Cen- tennials and Del Ray A. C. and North- erns and Brentwood Hawks each fought to a scoreless tie, while Wolverines and Petworth Pennants were battling to & 6-6 deadlock. Grogan scored the touchdown that gave Marions their coveted victory over St. Stephen’s on the Silver Spring fleld in the unlimited class. He wriggled off tackle for six yards and the score late in the third period to end a 45- yard drive by his team. It was Mar- jons’ first league win in two years and came as revenge for the 20-0 defeat they took last year at the hands of the BSaints. St. Stephens’ drove to Marions’ 1-yard line in the last seconds of the first half, but there was halted by the whistie. ending the half. A 50-yard march paved the way for Brooklands® touchdown and victory over Quentins. Warren scored the tally when he slipped 5 yards around right end. In the second quarter Brooklands reached the enemy 15-yard line and the Quentins in the same period got to the Brookland 19-yard line. Led by Eggles- ton, halfback, Brooklands offered their heavier oponents stout competition all the way. Jakie Lewis and Kelliher scored Mer- cury’s two touchdowns over Alpha Delta Omega gridders. Lewis tallied in the opening minutes on a short end run. Kelliher registered late in the third quarter when he dashed 10 yards after receiving a 15-yard forward pass from Wiltshire, who also drop-kicked for the extra point. Stout defensive work enabled the losers to repulse other Mer- cury scoring threats. General superiority brought Palace D. G. 8. eleven its easy win over Mard- felts in the 150-pound loop. The South- west boys scored at least one touch- down in each quarter. Scanlon, McDer- mott, Dearborn, Tonker, Reagan, Hall :’nd Divvers counted the winners’ touch- lowns. Both Centennials and Del Ray men- aced the others’ goal, but lacked the scoring punch. Early in the second quarter Centennials reached the Del Ray 5-yard line as the result af the work of the Foley-to-Raffo passin; bination, and late in the fourth Del Ray got to the District teant’ yard line before being held for downs. Brentwood Hawks contrived to hold Northerns scoreless through a fine de- fense. Most of the game Northerns had the ball in the Hawks’' territory, but the latter always was able to hurl the foe back when danger threatened. g 0m: lod 7- Northerns had the ball on the Hawks’ - | Simj 1923, 4-yard mark when the first half ended. ‘This was their most serious threat. Winters, Wolverines' center, scored his team's touchdown against Petworth Pennants in the first quarter when he ran back Mehlor's poor punt for 36 yards. In the third quarter Addison plunged over for the Pets' touchdown after a 26-yard from Monk to Rock had put the ball on the Wolverine 6-yard line. e m— VARIETY OF MATMEN ON THURSDAY’S BILL Ex-Foot Ball Stars, Champ and Ex-Champ to Display Wares in Griffith Stadium.
