Comics and Classified PAGE C—1 Harmony Likely to Rule in Dixie Confab : Interest in Army-Navy Game Booms SPRING FOOT BALL 5 ONLY ARGUMENT Knowledge of Notre Came’s Plays Makes Army Its Toughest Opponent. BY H. C. BYRD. HE Southern Conference and Southern Foot Ball Coaches’ Association hold their an- nual meetings this week at Chapel Hill, Durham, N. C. The coaches get together Thursday at Durham for a gabfest and dinner, while the Conference, which prob- ably exerts a wider and stronger influence in college atletics than any other organization, convenes Friday and Saturday at Chapel Hill, with the University of North Carolina as host. Not only will representatives of Southern Conference schools, scattered | from Maryland to Louisiana, be pres- ent, but coaches and athletic directors from many other institutions also will attend, largely to get foot ball games or to make arrangements for contests in other branches of sport. rtant changes in the present order of things as a result of the con- ference sessions are likely. It is pretty generally known that the University of ‘Tennessee 1s in hot water over the vio- lation of a conference regulation, but that institution has put up a plea to the Executive Committee to be allowed o clean up its own situation, and there is a possibility that the Executive Com- | mittee, which in this case has power to | act, may take some action to give Ten- | nessee that chance. In this event the | ‘Tennessee matter may not come before | the conference at all. One proposal to be made, or which already has been submitted to the Ex- | ecutive Committee to be acted on by | the conference, is to do away with| Spring foot ball practice. Some few of the conference schools are very much against Spring foot ball, but some of the others are very much in favor of it. Whether or not the proponents of the measure will be able to muster enough votes to pass it is not known. Probably they will not. The conference meeting is likely to | off very harmoniously unless some- | tedly springs something which its in a display of fireworks. | However, right now there seems to nothing on the horizon which indicates anything of the kind. The main work of the coaches will be in evolving new relationships in foot ball, arrangements for officials, discus- sions of rules and other matters of interest to them professionally. RE _was plenty in the Notre Dame-Southern California foot ball game Saturda writers a good deal for quite a while. However, the re- sult could be summed up very briefly in just one statement—good coaching plus superior man power. If any game ever demonstrated that Notre Dame’s material is better than that of the teams it is meeting that victory over Southern California did. Also it dem- onstrated that Rockne knows how to handle that material. To say that Notre Dame has superior man power does not detract from any accom- plishment of Rockne, because an ex- cel good foot ball team not only material in its make-up sports to comment on persons that “the Army usually gives Notre Dame its stiffest battle. How- ever, there is nothing suprising in that because it is due simply to the fact that Army krnows Notre Dame plays Southern— and Notre Dame's system of offense | 3Pk and defens= just about as well as Notre Dame. It has played against that sys- tem year after year until it knows pretty well how to meet it. In other words, Army has Notre Dame so thor- oughly scouted that it is much better prepared to meet that school than any other opponent Notre Dame faces. AVY'S surprising victory over Penn- sylvania bears out its confident feeling of last week. Priday morn- ing one of the Navy athletic authori- ties told the writer that he expected to beat Penn, and the four-touchdown victory certainly shows that he knew what he was talking about. And it may be mentioned here that Pennsylvania is one school that appar- ently has not made the best of its material. Either thai or dissension in its ranks has prevented the showing that should have been made. An old Penn man, himself a good coach, told the writer that Penn had the best | material he had ever seen in any | college and ought to have a great eleven. But the season wore on and Penn did not develop as it was ex- pect=4 to. Nobody can give the real Teason, except those close enough to | the n foot ball situation to know, but no school can build up a high morale when it is divided against it- self, and that seems to be Penn’s situa- tion if a tenth of what is heard be true. 'he University of Maryland last week wound up a foot ball schedule that, comparatively speaking, was the most difficult played in the whole country. It did not round out its schedule without defeats and it did not expect to, but it played good foot ball in every game, did not prove an easy opponent for any school it met. and looks back over fts record without regret. Scme of the members of the team had practically no previous ex- perience, but all were fighters and not one knew anything about the word quit. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that Maryland will have back nearly its whole squad of this year. The Old Liners are due to lose by graduation only five members of the varsity squad of 36.

P A Centennials today boast the Capital City League 150-pound loop title, but, despite this, they are not a very happy bunch of youngsters. For yesterday they suffered their first defeat in two years of league play when they bowed to Brentwood Hawks in a 7-0 battle. In another 150-pound match Northern Preps vanquished Wol- verines, 7 to 0. The games ended Capi- tal City League play. Mercurys won the unlimited crown some time ago. Hawks and Northerns, as the result of their wins, finished in a tie for sec- ond place, close on the heels of the victorious Centennials. W. Fellner scored the Hawks’ touch- down in the second quarter, when he snagged an 8-yard pass from Willlams and ran about half the length of the field. He also drop-kicked the extra point. © Aside from this one foray by the Hawks, play was nip and tuck, with each team making several scoring threats. Cents were particularly dan- gerous in the final minutes, when they slashed to the Hawks' 8-yard line. The Marylanders, however, held for downs. A 42-yard dash by Houston, Northern quarterback, put the ball on the Wol- verines’ 16-yard line at the start of the fourth quarter. Then Marshall, Kess- ler and Reed collaborated to crash to score, Reed taking the ball over. Marshall drop-kicked the point. Each team also was threatening on other occasions. . TP Centennials .

Stars Are Hailed. By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, December 8. —Knute Rockne’s raiders frcm Notre Dame, having swept Southern California aside, were en route home today with two undefeated sea- sons, 19 straight victories and a 27-to-0 triumph over the Trojans to thelr credit. In addition the Irish had permanent possession of the Rissman Trophy, signifying that three times within a decade Notre Dame had produced the national foot ball champions. Meanwhile, Southern California and the Far West were recovering frcm the stunning blow the Irish delivered Satur- day, and experts, coaches and the 90,000 fans who saw Troy fall vied with each other in congratulating the victors, O’Conner Is Star. Frank Carideo, the quarterback; Paul “Bucky” O'Connor, the fullback; March- mont Schwartz, halfback, and Bert Metzger, the atom who grew to a glant in the eyes of the crowd during 60 minutes of play at guard, were hailed far and wide. Carideo's generalship was a big factor in the humbling of the Trojans, and to him went the honor of scoring the first touchdown. He took a pass from Schwartz and half-walked 8 yards to pay dirt. O'Connor was the individual star, Three days before he had been a sub- stitute halfback, although Rockne ex- plained he spent six weeks in Spring practice in the fullback berth. Satur- day he was an amazing fullback. From his own 20-yard line in the first quarter ‘ht carried the ball, which he received | from Marty Brill, halfback, on a reverse |80 yards for the second touchdown, pausing at the halfway mark to cut- dodge Ernie Pinckert, the Trojans' star halfback. In the third quarter he scored again after receiving a pass. Substitute Scores. Nicholas Lukats, a substitute back, whirled over 23 yards of Trojan-strewn turf for the final score. Schwartz contributed 50 yards toward the third tcuchdown with a long zig- zagging run. Southern California never seriously threatened the Notre Dame goal. As many as four times the Trojans dug shallowly into Irish soil, but the advance was halted abruptly in each case. CHICAGO TO HAIL HEROES. Alumni Will Greet Notre Dame Team on Return From West.

OS ANGELES, December 8—In defeating Southern California, 27 to 0, here Saturday Notre D2me showed me the greatest South Bend team I have ever seen. The present eleven, to my way of thinking, | 15 the best Knute Rockne ever coached and it is entitled to much credit for its achievement of the past season. The thing that stood out most was the splendid blocking of Rockne's line- men and backs. There may have been better blocking teams in foot ball, but if so I have never been privileged to see such an outfit in action. On those long runs, and there were several of | them, as those who saw the game will | testify, the Notre Dame backs were a | corded exceptional aid by their team- m>tes. 1 hope that friends of the University Southern California players will not | of "be too critical of their showing.

O'Connor and Schwartz have come in for praise b:cause of their fine ball carrying, and this honor is due them. However, one thing that stood out to my mind was the fine blocking of Halfback Brill, who attended to his duties with efficiency from start to finish. Metzer, at guard, ran some great interference for the Notre Dame backs. In fact, I never have seen a game in which so much high-class blocking was in evidence. Carideo directed Rockne's attack well. He is a great fi>ld general, and it is not detracting from his ability to s. . however, that his task wasn't as difficult Saturday as it undoubtedly been in other games. You natu- rally look better winning than losing, and Carideo hasn't been on the losing end for a long time. He is cool and knows how to size up the opposition, and he did some fine blocking himself. I said in print before the game that it is a well known axiom of sports fol- lowers to string with the champion un- til he is defeated. If this advice is fol- lowed you can't go wrong very often. It is unlikely that Notre Dame will be the underdog in another Southern California game for some years to come. for all who saw Saturday’s game must not only have added respect for the ability of the South Bend players, but also for their coach, Knute Rockne. ., 1930. by th Am News- (Copyright. 1930, by North American News e APPLEBY KEEPS TITLE Bcores Decisively Over Fessenden, Former 18.2 Cue Champ.

EV RUSSELL, Forward, THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC The Record Team. HETHER this 1930 Notre Dame team is the best in foot ball history, it has at least put through one of the all-time records for one campaign. To win nine foot ball games through No- vember, to lose two such foot ball players as Savoldi and Mullins, to take the pounding it took from Northwest- erp and the Army and then smash such a team as Southern California 27 to 0 is about all that one could ask from a team not mounted on motor cycles and armsd with machine guns. The majority of coaches gathered in Philadelphia for the Navy-Pennsylvania game felt sure that Southern California would win. Not because Southern Cal- ifornia had a better foot ball team with Notre Dame near its best. But because they figured it was almost impossible for Notre Dame to be even near its best after such a season, with Savoldi and Mullins missing. These coaches had seen many strong teams before suddenly fade and fail after too many hard games in a row, but this 1939 Notre Dame team was another type. There was neither fade nor fail in its system. It was made up of the finest blocking talent that ever stepped out on a foot ball field, and when you get as many good blockers together as it had you have about everything. 'HIS 1930 outfit from South Bend had all the ingredients, but their main features were speed and skill, brains and courage. It was a smart team and a game one, with the quality of gameness that moves well be- yond the physical side. 1 thought the Notre Dame team I saw beat Pennsylvania so badly, with Savoldi playing his last game, was the greatest I ever saw on a field. But it seemed to be an impossible de- mand to ask even this team to drive through Northwestern and the Army, lose its two back field stars, travel to Los Angeles and whip a squad as strong as_Southern California’s seemed to be. Especially when Pop Warner was ?unud as saying that Southern Cali- lornia is one of the three best teams he has ever seen and when normally good foot ball judges were writing in that Southern California might win by four or five touchdowns. To have Notre Dame win was one thing, but to have her win by 27 points and completely break down the Western attack was the shock of the decade, as far as the Pa- cific Coast is concerned. It was a mortal thrust. UT at least the pride of the West Coast was beaten by a master- piece, one of the finest works of art that Rockne ever turned out. It was a team in every sense of the word. A team where each maf did his job and where one man found it difficult rise above another. And this tsam, ht;uxzilzd by a Carideo, had the final Notre Dame’s march from Southern Mef 4, through Southern California on December 6, was & magnificent adventure, and this team'’s ability to hurdle all handicaps and finish close to its top form is some- ing that was by no means fake propa- ganda. They saw an up-and-coming squad, a squad that has just found itself com- ing on like the wind. When the Army- Navy game was first arranged it looked as if the Navy would be outclassed. Now there is all the evidence any one wants that this will be a battle, one of the closest and one of the hardest of all Army-Navy wars, The Navy had a smart attack ageinst Pennsylvania, varied and powerful, with Gannon, Kirn and Williams leading most of the charges. After Kirn was in- ured and taken out, Gannon and Hur- ley proved to be effective, hard-running backs, able to carry the ball in con- sistent marches that were well directed in_the last two periods. This was a new Navy team and it will be even better by Saturday, a team lift- ed out of the rut by the thrill of an Army contest. The Army was only one point away from Notre Dame a week ago in Chi- cago and that would indicate too much stuff for the Navy to face. Only such indications don't always work out, in foot ball. The Army came close to its peak against Notre Dame and the Navy’s peak will be next Saturday when Bill Ingram will bring a team to New York well equipped to play a lot of foot ball and to give the Army a bat- tle all the way. The Army can win only by being at its best, or at least in the vicinity of its best. Any backfield that has Kimn, Hurley and Gannon to lug the leather can fill any afternoon full of trouble for any rival one might name. Y. US final charge against Col- gate 4s a fair warning for all her rivals to look out for 1931. Col- gate had to fight for her life in a game that might just as well have been a tie. ‘Tennessee also closed out one of the best campaigns of many years in spite of her lone defeat by Alabama. And one of the best of all foot ball stars closed out a great career when Bobby Dodd threw his final pass against Florida. (Copyright, 1930. by North American News- r Alliance.) FIGHT FOR CHARITY.

EW YORK, December 8.— The most famous of foot ball's spectacles, the Army- Navy game, resumed for charity after a four-year break, comes Saturday to give a final touch of color to the waning foot ball season. It will be played at the Yankee Sta- dium, New York, for the benefit of the Salvation Army's unemployment relief fund. Navy's triumph over Pennsylvania Saturday has boomed interest in the game. The midshipmen showed un- suspected strength as they gave the Quakers a 26-to-0 beating. Army Ranks High. A victory over Penn still is mot enough to place Navy on a par with its rival in the pre-game calculations. Al- though the middies showed plenty of power and new reserve force, they have had only a mediocre season and beat a team which had had little more success, while Army still can boast of having been beaten only by Notre Dame and tied by Yale. The cadets hold a of the Eastern ra: I list, rivaling Colgate and Fordham for the highest ‘honors. Terror Alone Unbeaten. Colgate still holds the topmost posi- tion among the big colleges through Saturday's 7-6 victory over New York University.
