Business Beats Tech Only Once on Grid : 1930 Notre Dame Team Rockne’s Best | PLAY FOR BUSINESS AGAINST TECH IN HIGH SCHOOL OPENER FRIDAY | STENOGS' LONE WIN REGISTERED IN 1916 Wise Brothers Star in 7-0 Victory Over Gray—Few Other Games Close. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. HOULD Business defeat Tech in the opening game of the public high school cham- plonship foot ball series Fri- day afternoon in Central Stadium the Stenogs not only will knock the old dope galley west, but east, north and south. It would be a truly stunning upset. A search through musty tomes of The Star reveals that Business has de- feated Tech in the annual series just once since McKinley. enter the compe- tition, way back in 1902. That was in 1916, when the Stenogs lowered Tech's colors, 7 to 0, in_American League Park | now known as Griffith Stadium. Business was considerably outweighed, according to H. C. (Curly) Byrd, who then, as now, was writing foot ball for this paper, Buck Wise, captain of the Business eleven, was the big shot for his team. He carried the ball across the Tech goal line shortly after the start of the second period, then kicked the 1. §°%apt. Wise and his brother Ralph, | according to Byrd's account, broke up | many Tech forward passes thrown by | Snyder. In only one respect, it was| noted, was Tech -superior. Wilson's ting was good for more distance on the average than that of Capt. Wise Central won the champlonship that year. Mostly Tech Romps. Ever since 1916 the years have been lean for Business so far as foot ball success against Tech is concerned. In fact, the Stenogs in these 13 seasons have been able to score just 10 points, while McKinley has been ptling up 356. In other words Tech has scored an av- | erage of nearly 36 points to 1 for Busi- ness. If the year 1916 is included, Tech’s 356 points will compare with 13 for Business, or an .average of more than 27 points for McKinley to 1 for Business. It was in 1820 that McKinley handed | g, Business the worst defeat in the history of the annual game. The count that year was 76 to 0. In 1919 and last sea- son the McKinley margin also was top- heavy. It was 53 to 3 in the former year and 51 to 0 last year. Raedy kicked the field goal that gave the Stenogs their 3 points in 1919. Business sccred its other 7 points in the 1917-29 period in 1926, when Charlie May, now at the University of Mary- land, registered a touchdown., May was playing quarterback for Business. Tech ‘won the e, 34 to 7. Aside from their victory in 1916 Business’ stoutest showings against ‘Tech were in 1922, when it held McKin- ley to a 3-0 victory, and in 1927, when ‘Tech won by only 7 to 0. Soores of Series.

The Cavaliers go to Lexing- ton for the twen! ixth game with the Cadets of Virginia Military Institute. Cadets and Cavaliers started their gridiron meetings back in 1893. They have been playing with reasonable regularity every since. In the early ays they skipped a few seasons, but since 1907 they have missed only three years, and two of those were during the war when foot ball ceased to be. For two seasons V. M. I has had the better of it. In 1928 they caught the Cavaliers in a slump the week after Princeton was tied, 0 to 0. And last| year it presented a veteran team that had almost everything its way. V. M. L is the first of six Southern Conference rivals Virginia will play one after the other. Then comes Kentucky, Maryland, Washington and Lee, Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute and North Carolina.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 14.—A proposal to play foot ball for charity wf.l being given serious consideration today by Northwestern University and the Uni- versity of Notre Dame. e ‘The two schools are scheduled to play at Dyche Stadium, Evanston, Novem- ber 22. The Tribune today sponsored a move to have the game transferred from the stadium, which has a capacity of 50,000 spectators, to Soldier Field, where as many as 110,000 persons may be seated. The plan provides that the money realized from the sale of 50,000 tickets —the most _that could possibly be sold at Dyche Stadium—would be divided among the two foot ball teams. The money realized on the sale of additional tickets, possibly 60,000, would go to charity. 1 Should the proposal be accepted by the two schools, the Tribune said, if would mean at least $100,000 for charity, and possibly $250,000. % MOHAWKS TUNING UP' FOR NIGHT CONTEST Will Introduce Nocturnal Sandlot Play in Meeting Lansdowne Team Tomorrow.

URTHER proof that backfield stars depend for most of their glory upon the forwards was shown in the Yale-Georgia and the Princeton-Brown games. Alble Booth had his full share of trouble getting any where after Yale's fitst string linemen had been worn down.'''James of Princeton, another fine young back, had his same trouble in facing a better line, ‘Neither Booth nor James could make dny particular headway. Georgia kept Booth well bottled a year ago in Athens and- Georgia at least prevented him from running wild in New Haven. The Yale star played first-class foot ball, but if his name had not been Booth there would have been no extended comment. It was not Booth's fault. He had almost no openings to take and 140 pounds can't run rough shod over 180 pounds. In the same way a fine Georgia back- fleld could not make a first down in the first two periods because the Georgia line was badly outplayed. It was a different story in the last two periods when the Georgia line got the jump—and _held it. Then Roberts, Chandler, Dickens, Mott, Stornoff and Downs. ripped their way up and down the fleld for two touchdowns. N Vanderbilt and Georgla the South undoubtedly has two of the strongest teams in foot ball. Vanderbilt went to Minnesota and won, 33 to 7. A week later Minnesota held Stanford to a 0-0 draw. Georgla went to Yale, fought her way through a series of touch breaks and bad fumbling, and came from behind to beat a first-class Yale team. Vanderbilt has a strong line and a fast, powerful backfield, ably coached by Dan McGugin, one of the masters | of his profession. Georgia has a fair line, two star ends and a fine wealth of backfleld material. FOOT BALL BY Bé)L METZGER. ‘The biggest foot ball job of many years was making the 1930 Iowa schedule. Certain complications re- rmxnz its athletes in Western Con- lerence circles cost this eleven many games with old rivals, as they make schedules years ahead. But you can't down good men, and the Iowaians have a full quota of games. like line plunging at Iowa. You can’t blame them, with the bat- tering rams they had last year. So its opponents will have to be wary of the stuff Ingwersen's men will spring. Here's a sample: B: comes back to No. 3, who feints off tackle but turns inside of 0 through and ensive full. That gives the pli er a great chance, especially as he can usually swerve to the left after passing the line and follow his left end down field. ‘Why does the No. 4 back beat it to the sidelines?—you may ask.

It was something of a shock to the Far West, but foot ball is full of such shocks. Watching Carnegie Tech. 'OTRE DAME'S chance of going through a season unbeaten wil have one of its hardest tests Sat- urday against Carnegie Tech. ‘The Steffen formations have always bothered the South Bend defense, and this Fall Carnegie’s material is well above the average. It is up to the standard of two years ago, when Carnegie Tech upset Rockne's outfit something like 27 to 7. It might be noted that this year's Notre Dame ar- ray is far stronger than the one two years ago. There is no backfleld ma- terial in the country that can quite match such men as Carrideo, Savoldi, Brill, Schwartz and at least four or five others almost as good. It is almost impossible to keep Notre Dame from scoring at least two touch- downs. The main job will be for the other team to get more than two if it hopes for a victory. Tested Teams. AMS that have been thoroughly tested and that have proved their place so far by beating strong oppo- nents include Notre Dame, Carnegie Tech, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Northwestern, Brown, N. Y. U, Colgate, Temple—with- out a tie and without a defeat. Colgate apparently has another power- ful squad ready to furnish trouble in coplous quantities. Several of the other teams have not yet had any heavy as- signments, such as Harvard, Army, Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Penn State, Tennessee and Alabama. Harvard and the Army get a double test this week when they meet at Cam- bridge. This should be another royal battle, since both look to be unusually strong. It is a tough spot for both, since neither has yet been extended. It will be difficult to belleve that one is looking at an Army team with Cagle and Murrell missing, but Maj.

HICAGO, October 14.—0Old Notre Dame stars, grown accustomed over the years to great foot ball and severely critical of each new one that springs from the fertile soil of St. Josephs Valley until the pretenders have proved their ul- timate value, are calling this 1930 edition of the Ramblers tke greatest team Knute Rockne ever constructed. Extravagant praise, perhaps, but given with much good reason. "This 1930 Notre Dame team lacks the color and speed of the four horsemen's years; it has no single player who can Temotely be compared with George Gipp, and there is no raging Jack Can- non on the line. But it is a team of indeterminable power that plays with the calculated finesse only Rockie gives an eleven, and is daily gaining momen- tum to drive through one of the hardest schedules ever devised. Fine Play Against Navy. Navy gave Notrs Dame little serious opposition in the game that dedicated the Irish new stadium Saturday; nothing like the long rough duel the raiders had with Southern Methodist But against lesser opposition the rapid development of skill and power easily could be noted. The line play had been smoothed out and the forwards were fulfilling _assignments cleanly and quickly. Backs were getting to the line of scrimmags with more speed and the entire team showed improved co- ordination, Rockne used more than 50 men against the Navy and in the last min- utes of the contest the conglomerate mixture of fourth and fifth string subs still was driving toward the Sallors’ goal. The regulars, minus Moon Mullins, the fleet fullback, and Dick Donoghue, veteran tackle, were in the game less than 20 minutes and scored 20_points. Rockne was easy on Bill Ingram, for he could have made the score almost what he wished hid the first-stringers remained. Then a substitute combina- tion reeled offa series of plays with the | same deftness shown by the regulars| that netted another touchdown. | Jumping Joe Savoldi was the out- | standing performer in the victory over Navy. The swarthy Italian has become the most fearful runner in foot ball, | for he not only travels with great speed. but with such tremendous power that | an ordinary tackle is swept away Jike | |a leat in a gale. | Savoldi starts low and rises as he | | gains speed: he has developed a subtle | hip sway that takes him away from tacklers and his stiff arm is a rod of | iron. Savoldi has improved on forward | pass defense and Larry Mullins has a | task ahead to regain his former prestige | at fullback. Savoldi, with a great run | for touchdowns against Southern Meth- | | odist and three against Navy, leads all | | candidates for the All-America fullback post at this day and date. CAROLINA IS PRIMING | | FOR GEORGIA BATTLE Drills Six Backfieldls for €lash Saturday—Tennessee Points for Alabama. By the Associated Press. | ATLANTA, October 14.—Two crucial | contests for Saturday have stirred Southern foot ball fans. Georgia meets | North Carolina and Tennessee battles | Alabama. Sanford Stadium, at Athens, Ga, is | ready for the largest crowd since its | dedication last year, when Georgia de- feated Yale. A similar outpouring is expected at Tuscaloosa, Ala. | Chuck Collins of Carolina has a| wealth of material to throw at Geor- | gla—for instance, he had six backfields | working yesterday. But the Tarheels have been weak on the defense thus far, and blocking is being stressed. Georgia was more powerful on the | offensive than on the defensive in tak- | ing its second successive tilt from Yale, but the Athens Bulldogs are confident of their ability to outscore Carolina. Tennessee is engaged with the prob- lem of patching up McEver and other injured stars for Alabama.

By the Associated Press, EW YORK, October 14.—Major foot ball teams in the East forget all about intersectional rivalries this week and settle down to the serious business of settling a few ancient domestic disputes.

A little older is the Yale-Brown feud which will be renewed in the Yale Bowl. Of 35 games played since 1893, Yale has won 29, lost 4 and tied 2.

Cornell's high-scoring machine will ssek its fifth victory in 39 years over Princeton and the chances are all in favor of it. These colleges have met 17 times since 1891, with the Tigers winning 13 games. Cornell won one of the three games played since relations were resumed in 1927 after a lapse of 20_years.
