The Old Liners, already close to the ragged edge from hard competition, must meet Navy this Saturday, Hop- kins the following Thursday, Vanderbilt November 29, with only one day intervening, and then wind up with Western Mary- land December. 6. There are few schools that would care to under- take, or would undertake, such a task. Navy has a powerful elevin, much stronger than it is getting credit for having, simply because it has been los- ing games. As a matter of fact, the Sallors have lost but one contest they | should have bien cxpected to win— that with Duke. There was nothing to cause anybody to think that they ought to whip Ohio State, Notre Dame, or Southern Methodist. Navy has been whipped, it is true, but by the best teams in th: country. Maryland has been winning, but it has not been winning from such teams as the Navy has played. The Old Liners probably face the toughest assignment of their season Saturday. Just what the Hopkins game will mean this year is not known. Hopkins has been having an in and out s2aron. Sometimes it has played fine foot ball ‘while at times its work has b2en rather mediocre.

Three members of the Kendall | Greeners backfield are slated to play their last game Saturday. Marshall, Hokansen and Zieske are the lads who will don their suits for the last time and to them especially the urge to finish successfully is strong. Several contests are scheduled this week between great rivals, games that may mean nothing to the outside world but to those intcrested as partisans mean everything.

NNAPOLIS, Md., November 19.— Naval Academy foot ball mentors to meet the University of Maryland here Saturday with all the strength they could muster. The Naval Academy has not lost to a Maryland team sinee modern foot ball began, but it is admit- ted here that there is a real danger of defeat Saturday. Maryland will come to Annapolis Sat- urday flushed by a long series of victo- decisively in its last two games as well as two othe:s during the season. The Navy regards the issue of the game as a test of whether its team will have a fighting chance against the two games. However, Gannon is likely to start in made the frank declaration to- | day that they were preparing| the era of| ries, while the Navy has been defeated | ANNAPOLIS, Md., November 19.—| A strong Maryland team has been mak- | ing hay all season just at a time when a/y must be counted among such in- | stitutions as Harvard, Princeton, Illinois | and others, caught in the season foot ball drought that has shrivelled their scores down to almost nothing. When the Old Liners set out on a drive, they generally manage to ring up a score, but the unlucky Midshipmen have often pushed 200 yards, more or less, during a game, only to end up by producing a score for the opposition. | Against Ohio State, Navy rushed the | ball” 132 yards, gained 68 more from passes, punted 475 yards, netted 35 yards on penalties and ran kicks back for 30 yards, making in all 740 yards of hard work, only to find a goose egg {in the basket when the final whistle | blew. Suffered in Schedule. | Maryland, if playing Navy's 1930 schedule, might have done some of the same sort of tremping, but so far this season the Old Liners have shown con- Siderable ground running speed—or s0 the scouts claim—whereas, Nayy has been forced to get along with a rather green line and slow backs. Last Navy had two sprinters, MacKe: and Coleman, ‘32, who could enough to 10 seconds flat to major awards, but beyond these two Mer- curies no one else troubled the timers The voluntary idea in Naval Acad- | emy athletics is well shown by the fact that MacKenzie has contributed his speed to soccer, where during the season he has pulled several close games out of | & tailspin for Navy, but this of course has no bearing on foot ball scores. Coleman, Navy's last bet for a high- | speed safety man, has been out with an early season injury, so he has forced to sit on the bench while Navys crew men, wrestlers and others tried tc run down opponent sprinters who man- aged to get into open d with the , who has considerable track ability, is Navy’s ace, but it takes more has next back of importance is trouble N the ra her frail Dale Bauer, a 150-) r _and second: w .

Clifton, his plebe year, was almost & 10-second man, and tipped the scales at 190 pounds. A visiting coach who went up against the Maryland aggregation early this season has pointed out that the Old Liners are strong right where the Mid- shipmen are down a little at the heel, that is, tn the backfield. He ended up by suggesting a charity game, with Maryland backs behind Navy's line, against anything else the two institu- tions could produce. Same Old Line Threats. Observers are agreed that Navy has | no single player in its backfleld who carries as many threats as Al Woods or Roy Poppelman, the 175-pound back from California, when it comes to all- around offense. Poppelman has estab- lished bimself as a fast, shifty, hard hitting back and also an_exceptional passer. Against Washington and Lee he ran two punts back for touchdowns, which is bad news for any team with slow ends. Another back who is going to worry Navy is Boozey Berger, 170 pounds of high geared foot ball mechanism. His ability to receive passes will test In- gram’s defense to the limit. Al Woods, ex-marine and recently awarded a military medal by the Nica- raguan government, is considered a “cagey” field- general, and his cotton- topped skull houses a pretty lively foot ball brain. He appears to be the life of Maryland's first-string backs and can do anything his coaches call for— which is the same thing in foot ball as being Chic Sale at a farmer’s picnic.

HARVARD LATERAL 1S YALE'S NEMESIS Crimson Likely to Use Pass That Defeated Bulldogs in Last Two Years. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, November 19.—The lateral pass, as developed by Arnold Horween, carried Har- vard to victories over Yale in 1928 and 1929, and the chances are it will bs called upon frequently when these ancient rivals get together for the | forty-ninth time in the Yale Bowl Sat- urday. In 1928 the Elis never did find a way to stop the Crimson’s favorite weapon and its complement, the fake lateral, and Harvard won 17-0. Last season the Blue was a strong favorite at game time, but once more the lateral was too de- ceptive and the Crimson earned a 10-6 decisjon. Yale Has Margin, Yale holds a wide edge in victories since the series began in 1875 with a total of 27 wins, 15 defeats and 6 ties. Since 1908, however, Harvard has held the upper hand with 11 victories, 6 dé- feats and 3 ties. The Blue will be fa- vored to increase its advantage, but by no wide odds. In fact, there will be occasion for surprise if the margin of victory is greater than one touchdown one way or the other. The Yale-Harvard game stands head and shoulders above any other Eastern offering, but there are a half dozen other battles of first-rete importance. Fordham Favored. Bucknell, with its star back, Clark Hinkle, invades New York to oppose Fordham's strong array, unbeaten by any Eastern eleven since Georgetown waljoped the Rams in November, 1928. Fordham has come out of its defeat by St. Mary's with confidence unimpaired, and will be favored over the Bisons. Another New York duel brings to- gether New York University and Rut- gers. At Annapolis Navy meets the strong Maryland eleven of the Southern Conference. Army, with Notre Dame to “breather” be met on November 29, has Ursinus. There are a trio of big-time games :eklnl ufinn T ";hu at phis, em) . Georgetown tangling with Villanovs at Villanova and Lehigh invading Easton for the annual clash with Lafayette.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. 8 a prognosticator Hap Har- dell is a good foot ball coach. Give an ear to what he wrote this reporter when asked to Jot down a little something last Summer about Tech’s 1930 foot ball outlook. I am still gloomy. Kolker and Goldman are the only regulars back on the line. Nelson and Reichman are the only regulars we have in the backfield along with Yznaga, who had some experience last year.” From that line one who didn't know Hardell would figure that Tech's chances to retain its public high school title were slim, indeed. However, those who know Hap paid not the slightest attention to him. Rather we con- cluded Tech would win again, w) g.l ?;deyesurdly by xoum‘:g mt:‘::, What a record Tech has ma the gridiron since Hardell began :o:c?: its eleven eight years ago, victory yesterday over Eastern brought its fourth championship in this period.

Then in the final querter Mc- Kinley slashed through the thoroughly tired but desperate’y struggling East- crners for two more touchdow: Intercepts Pass to Score, George Sachs, who scored three of Tech's touchdowns, and Al Reichman and Steve Hatos, eech of whom count- ed one, sparklei on attack for the Gray, while Dick Nelson got in some classy pmtng ind booting. Capt. Sid Kolker was stand-out on the line for the victory, though some high-class work was turned in by varicus other Tech forwards, notebly Rhodes, Bell and Baxter. Kenny McAboy, husky end, scored Eastern’s lone touchdown intercepting a pass and dashing 55 yards. McAboy played stoutly in every department, as did Wolfe, alert tackle. Mel Wade did some nice kicking for the Light Blue. Aside from McAboy's touchdown, Eastern did not make a single thr 'ning gesture toward the Tech goal. There was no scoring in the fitst pe- riod, though Kolker gave a thrill by breaking through to block an Eastern punt on the latter'’s 22-yard line. Nel- son fumbled, however, on the n:xt play and the furiously fighting Easterners fought Tech on even terms the re- mainder of the period. Tech scored its first touchdown early in the second quarter when Reichman, who yeplaced Hatos, broke off tackle for 30 yards on a spinner play to start an attack that soon ended in Sachs plung- ing across the Light Blue goal. Shortly afterward McAboy intercepted a Tech pass and made his 55-yard run to a touchdown. Opening a slashing attack over and through the Eastern defense in the third quarter, Tech drove down the fleld with Reichman' going over for a tally on a short end sweep. After a brief Eastern flurry in which Palmer made a 20-yard end run, Tech again battered its way toward the Eastern goal with Sachs on a spinner play finally lunging across for the Gray's third touchdown. 8 Sachs Scores Again. As the quarter ended Tech again was pounding at the enemy goal, and on the first play of the fourth period Hatos socked the line for five yards and his team's fourth touchdown. Shortly before the game end:d Sachs ended a 30-yard McKinley drive by counting his third and Tech's final 1ly. Gormley twice missed the kick for extra point, and Rhodes and Yznaga each failed once to boot the goal after touchdown. A forward pass, Nelson to Sachs, brought the lone extra point converted by Tech. Wade failed on a placement after Eastern’s touchdown. About 7,000 turned out for the game, the proceeds of which went to charity. Everybody gladly donated their services, officials, ticket tekers, etc. Even the reporters paid.
