And few coaches are willing to make such a statement.

Both teams use modifications of the | Warner system, which concentraf on | power, but in this respect the ines will have an edge, boasting a line which averages about 190 pounds from to-end. The " Devil Dogs' backfield also is heavy, averaging 175 pounds. Fortunately, Coach Dick Harlow's small Terror squad has not been de- pleted by setous injuries so far this season. Brubaker temporarily was lajd out with a wrenched ankle in last Sat- urdly: e with Loyola, but came around all right and finished the game, Work at the Terror camp has con- | sisted of dummy scrimmage, with in- | tensive drills on pass dsfense. ;x\nh Polytechnic Institute apparently | is stronger than Washington and Lee, | while there does not seem to be much difference between Virginia Military In- stitute and Davidson.

Howard Sims, the other player to be lost, received a serious injury on the Sims is fllflnl his third year and his loss will dicap the Bears both offen- sively and defensively.

Two completed forward out of ten tried, the figures in the Princeton game did not suit the Navy coach, even though the two ave: nearly 30 yards and came at crucial times. Tschirgi Looks Good. Squad B supplied the defensive for- mation and all the backs took their | turns in passing, the ball going to the | other backs or to the ends, and every regular and reserve in those positions having a try during the afternoon. Hagberg, Gannon and Kirn have been the regular passers, and all of these had some work, but the list in- cluded Tschirgi, who is developing into one of the Navy's best backs and who. unexpectedly, did a considerable part of the passing Saturday and did it well. Tschirgi is a_ particularly hard runner and has another year at the Academy. During all of the practices of the week holding the ball will be stressed, there having been considerable ‘fum- bling Saturday. Also an effort will be made to greater ' reliability of Squad in Prime Shape. Practice will be toward these ends during the week, but the running at- tack, which functioned so finely Satur- day and which is expected to be the backbone of the offense during the sea- son. will not be neglected. ‘The excellent physical condition of the team is a subject of congratulation PUZZLED OVER BACKS- TO FACE OLD LINERS Virginia Certain to Start Thomas and Sippley, but Other Two Are Debated. UNIVERSITY, Va., October ~29.— ‘Who will be run in Virginia's backfleld SBaturday against Maryland still is a problem. Bill Thomas is just about rid of his charleyhorse and Frank Sippley’s bad bruise should be healed by Satur- day. These two will start, but the ques- tion is who will work with them. ‘With Bryant shifted to the line, the fullback position is open to all comers. Ward Brewer, fullback on the '29 first- year eleven, may get it. Jim Beury's slashing style of ball carrying makes him well suited to the line-driving type of play. Myers did so well against Ken- tucky that he may be one of the start- ers. The same is true of Henry Sackett, who may be temporarily changed from quarter to halfback. If Ben Pinder’s b:inle( gets in shape he may get the chance. WIN OVER CENTRAL GIVES 7 BIG EDGE Displays Clever Attack in Scoring Over Its Old Rival, 18 to 0. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. “GET in there now and | First downs are all right, but get touch- | Thus did Hap Hardell, wily little | Tech coach, send his charges into triumph for them over Central, their foe of foes, yesterday before Central Stadium. The victory, more decisive than was generally mendous favorite to retain the public high school title. ringing in their ears and pounding at their hearts, the boys in gray got seri- with machine-like efficiency.

Tech figures it can take dell figures that Eastern, with Mike Since Hap began coaching the first Central teams coached by Kelley. ‘Whether Kelley, as Eastern mentor, will again be able to thwart Hardell remains to be seen. The Gray and the Light Blue will not meet until Novem- ber 18 in the final game of the series. Tech now has the edge over Central since the feud between the Blue and Gray began in 1902. McKinley'’s wins total 12 against 11 for Central. Five times the teams have tied. Tech has compiled an aggregate of 250 points against 197 for Central. Since Hardell became coach in 1923 the Gray has scored 106 points against 31 for Cerftral. Employing & tricky, hard-running at- tack behind a fast-charging, alert line, the Gray almost literally swept the Blue from its. feet in col eel those first few minutes. =Starting from the kick- off it simply down the field, hitting first one side of the line and then the other, but always for substan- tial gains. PFinally Sachs ripped through the Blue forward wall for 23 yards and then Johnny Gormley plunged over to Tech's first touchdown. A pass from Dick Nelson to Sachs, the lone aerial, incidentally, attempted by Tech, failed for the extra point. Central then lashed back but was halted before it could get anywhere near the Tech goal. Starting the second quarter the Blue looked really dangerous. With Frank (Whitey) Cumberland, Larry Pinckney and Paul Hinkel all socking the line for gains the Blue smashed relentlessly down the fleld. Then with the ball on the Tech 15-yard line Tech suddenly shifted its defense, bringing more play- ers to the line. The move had an instant effect. Central was summarily halted and Tech aided by one of the nice kicks that Nelson got off con- sistenly soon had the ball out of danger. ‘Weakened by the loss of Cumberland, who played a bang-up game, and Paul Friday’s Game.

Hinkel played al- most all the second quarter with the fracture. That boy has courage. Getting the ball on & punt on Cen- tral’s 35-yard line Tech battered its way to its second touchdown in the third quarter. Al Reichman, blond track stal- wart, who had replaced Steve Hatos in the Gray backfleld, swept end for 12 | yards. Then three runs by Nelson, who was a big shot on running attack as well as in kicking, and a lateral pass put the ball on the 9-yard line. Here George Sachs, who looked a mil- lion dallars all afternoon, put on a nifty spinner run that was good for 9 yards and Tech’s second touchdown. Gormley's placement for the extra point fell short. Meikeljohn, Tech end, broke through on the first play of the fourth quarter to smear Pinckney for a 15-yard loss. Then, after a poor kick by Mirman, who was hurried, and Tech soon had the ball in midfield. With Sachs and Gorm- ley doing most of the ball toting, the Gray hammered its way deep into Cen- tral territory. Moore, a newcomer in the Gray backfleld, stepped 15 yards, and then Gormley, on two successive thrusts at the line, took the ball across for McKinley’s final touchdown. Once more Tech failed to add the extra point when Gormley's placement failed. In the final analysis it was the team- work of the Tech team that told. The Gray players seemed to know what to do and did it. Lidste Hinkel . Pinckney 3 8 &% o Touchdowns—Gormley, Sachs, Reichman. Substitutions. Tech, Reichman’ for Hatos.
