Local coach- es are due to trot out their layers for their opening com- etition, in which they hope to t such a line on them that they ay make plans for the real be- nning of the schedules after the olidays. Georgetown, American University and Gallaudet play to- orrow night and Georgetown nd Gallaudet have games Sat- urday. Georgetown opens its season with ettysburg College and may get more f a battle than a team generally de- Bires in its opening contest. Gettysburg usually has a representative lot of ath- tes in every sport and if the caliber of players on the court measures up to ghat of those who played foot ball, then Georgetown may not win as easily as 4t would like. And then, of course, it bly may not win at all. The Blue &nd Grays' game with Baltimore Uni- ersity Saturday night is not likely to so difficult unless the Baltimoreans o considerably better than they have er sports. Both Georgetown Bames are to be played in the Tech Symnasium. Johnny Colrick, new Blue and Gray fcourt coach, has had little to say about fi! , but thinks that he_ should develop a fairly capable five. Lack of fpractice, though, because several of the imen were out for foot ball, may pre- Vent the kind of showing he would like %o make in his opening game. Both Gallaudet games are to be - played on a trip. The Kendall Green- ers meet Haverford at Haverford and Drexel Institute at Fhiladelphia, the former tomorrow night and the latter Saturday. The Kendall Greeners have back a veteran five and expect to be Tepresented by one of their stromgest teams. In all probability Wurdemann and Hokansen will start as forwards, Brown and Braley guards and the bril- liant Ringle at center. ve, cap- tain and the best forward on the squad, has a bruised leg and may not play full time in either game. Coach Walter Krug is very optimistic about the outlock. He expresses the opinion that Gallaudet should have one of its greatest quints.

EW YORK, December 11.—There are no base ball trades in the offing so far as the Washington club is concerned. Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, here for the an- nual sessions of the major leagues, is authority for this. Shortly . before attending the joint meeting of the big circuits at noon today Grif- fith declared he had neither endeavored to make any deals nor had been approached regarding deals, despite rumors to the contrary. It had been reported that the Washington president was interested in effecting a trade with the Chicago White Sox and was prepared to offer Hadley and - First Baseman Joe Kuhel or Second Baseman Buddy Myer for Carl Reynolds, hard-hitting outfielder, who swings from Pitcher Bump the right side. “Nothing to this,” said Griffith. Bush (the White Sox manager) or any others, for that matter. has tried to talk trade with me, either. In fact, I don’t know of any trade negotiations among American League clubs going on at present. “Every one seems to want to settle the draft argument with the class AA minors before any trading is attempted. Even after that I don’t know that the Washington club would figure in any deals. As to trading now or in the near future, I have nothing up my sleeve.” Griffith was confident '-hu:,ndrl(t t::ue would be. settled ul:ldl‘y at tlh': int “after consideral was given reports from special commi ’&g m.um and minors that have been mulling over the question since the first of the week. “The majors will, I am sure, win every point for which they have “With this matter settled, there may be some ac- tivity on the player matket, but I have nothing THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE NOTRE DAME—1930.

MIDWEST IS LEADER IN RANKING ELEVENS Has Slight Edge on East in Past Seven Years Under Dickin- “ son System. CHAMPAIGN, IIl, December 11 (#). —TFoot ball honors have been well scat- tered over the country in the past seven years, but the Middlewest leads the East by a slight margin in representation ranked by the Dickinson rating system. Dr. Frank Dickinson, University of Tlinois commerce instructor and orig- inator of the system, today announced the geographic distribution of leading teams before he left for South Bend, Ind. to present Notre Dame with the Rissman national foot ball trophy at a testimonial dinner tonight. ‘:’of.r: Dame gained permanent possession of the trophy by winning it three times within a decade. In the past seven years the Middle- west has placed 24 teams among the first eleven. Other sections were rep- resented as follows: East, 23; Pacific Coast, 16; Big Six, 4; South and South- | west, 12. “If the small number of | large colleges, is considered, the Pacific Coast seems to have a slight edge on sectional honors for the seven seasons,” | Dr. Dickinson said. Southern California has been ranked among the first eleven teams six out of the past seven years. Notre Dame, Illi- nois and Stanford have each been named five times, while Michigan, Army and Pennsylvania have landed among the first eleven teams four times. | National trophy winners were . 1924; Dartmouth, 1925; ford, 1926; Illinois, 1927; Southern Cal- ifornia, 1928; Notre Dame, 1929; Notre Dame, 1930. ARMY FLANKMEN RETURN King and Messinger Are Consid- ered Big Help Against Navy. WEST POINT, N. Y., December 11 () —With the return of King and Messinger, injured ends, to the Army line-up, the Cadets’ prospect of gheck- ing the Navy offensive in Saturday’s game have improved considerably. Still the Army regulars have not solved the problem of how to hold off their own plebe team when it uses Navy plays. Army’'s secondary defense was kept busy yesterday as the Plebes gave. their version of the Middy passing attack in a full speed scrimmage and the drill wound up with a special drill in pass defense. Maj. Ralph I. Sasse, head coach, ap- peared encouraged yesterday as two of his injured players returned and made fewer predictions of disaster because of the poor condition of his squad. 20 Years Ago (From The Star Files.)

After these bequests and one of $5,000 to Mrs. Mabel W. Pearson, a relative, Baker directed that the residue be given outright to his widow. No estimate of the value of the estate was available. There are 5,000 shares of stock in the Phillies club, and of these Baker's es- tate and Ruch were each sald to own 1,300 shares.

CELTICS TRY AGAIN AGAINST CHAMPIONS Alexandrians Have Yet to Beat Apaches—Seaman Gunners to Meet Mercury Eleven. The St. Mary's Celtics of Alexandria will strive Sunday to accomplish some- thing they've never done before—defeat the champion Apaches. Interest is running high in the Vir- ginia city and one of the largest crowds ever to witness a sandlot foot ball con- test is expected to view the game. Many Alexandria fans will swell the total at Griffith Stadium. Earlier in the season the Apaches turned back the Celtics by 7 to 0. While the Apaches and Celtics are trafhing for the game Sunday, elaborate preparations are being made by the Seaman Gunners and Mercury elevens, 1| who clash Sunday at Silver Spring for lfih; right to challenge for the District e Both are formidable clubs.

COLLEGE YEARLING QUINTS 10 BE MET Teams of Princeton, Penn, Virginia, Maryland Are Scheduled. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. ENTRAL HIGH'S basket ball schedule for the remainder of the campaign, an- nounced today, contains a flock of bright tilts. In addition to the public high school matches and encounters with other school- boy teams in the District groups, games have been arranged with Princeton, Penn,, Virginia and| Maryland freshmen, and Bethle- hem, Pa., High. Princeton freshmen will be ed January 10 at Princeton in t;‘:nplrz- liminary to the Princeton-Columbia varsity battle. Penn yearfngs will met February 14 at Philadelphia in the curtain-raiser to the Penn-Harvard big team clash. Maybe Central will not win the public high school championship this season, but if it doesn't it will not be through lack of preparation. Incidentally, while Bert Coggins, coach of the Blue, is as usual not enthusiastic about the team’s outlook, there are several pretty good looking players on the squad. Central might make a real fight of it in the title series. Here's the Central schedule: Today—Emerson. ‘Tomorrow — Georgetown _freshmen, Tech gym, 7:15 o'clock (preliminary to the )Geor'emvn—chttnbur: varsity game). December 13—FPredericksburg High at Fredericksburg, Va. December 16—Washington-Lee High at_Ballston, Va. December 18—Emerson. December 19—Baltimore City College™{ December 20—Alexandria High at Alexandria. December 22—Woodward. December 23—Hyattsville High at Hyattsville. December 30—Fredericksburg High, January 1—Alumni, January 2—Gonzaga at Boys’ Club. January 8—S8t. John's. January 10—Princeton freshmen at Princeton (preliminary to Columbia- Princeton varsity game). January 13—Tech. January 14—Alexandria High. January 16—Business. / January 20—Western. January 22—Maryland freshmen at College Park. January 23—Eastern. January 30—Tech. January 31—Bethlehem High at Beth- lehem, Pa. 5 February 3—Business. February 4—Episcopal.

February 11—Washington-Lee i Pel 14—Penn freshmen at Phil- adelphia (preliminary to Harvard-Penn varsity game). February 24—Takoma-Silver Spring. February 26—St. John's freshmen at Annapolis. ASTERN HIGH will honor its 1930 foot ball team at a dinner tonight at the Lincoln Park school at 6 o'clock. Adherents of the Light Blue feel that Eastern made a fine showing in finishing second to Tech, the cham- pion, in the title race. Coach Mike Kelley’s proteges, a green bunch, were not expected to do nearly so well. Emerson, despite heavy losses because of scholastic failures, will carry on with its schedule, and tomorrow afternoon is slated to invade the Business gym for a crack at the Stenogs. It will be Emer- son’s second game, as Coach Sanborn's boys were carded to make their debut against Central this afternoon at Cen- tral. It will be the season's opener for Business. Central will face Georgetown fresh- men wm nlxk& “ol;rl: o‘clocs]. in the pre] to the etown Var- sity-Gettysburg College game in the Tech High gym. Western will go to Manassas, Va.,, to engage Swavely in another match tomorrow. This will be an _afternoon affair. ‘Western was to stack up against Bal- | timore City College this afternoon in the Maryiand city. Eastern and Central also have engage- ments Saturday. Eastern is to meet Georgetown freshmen, at 7:15 p.m,, in a curtain-raiser to the town Varsity-Baltimore University game in the Tech , and Central is to trek to Predericksburg, Va., for an afternoon tilt with Predericksburg High. Features and Classified PAGE D-—1 Central Basketers Have Bright Card NNAPOLIS, Md, December 11, —While the Midshipmen, loyal to the core to their team and elated over the showing against Pennsylvania, can see nothing but vic- tory for the Navy Saturday, those in closer touch with the team and with & better understanding of the situation still are inclined to believe that the Army has a stronger eleven and should win. This does not mean that there is any considerable body of Navy people who do not see a possible victory for their team, but it does mean that they recog- nize the superior experience of miost of the Army players and that, upon the whole, they have played better foot Jall than the Midshipmen this season. In particular, it is feared here that the Army’'s replacements will be the means of wearing down the Navy team, so that the Cadets will win the decision in the latter part of the game. Navy Backfield Strong. Navy people believe that their line is every bit a8 strong as that of the Army and that it is & rugged set of men and not likely to have many losses be | on account of injuries during the game. Still, injuries may come, and there is not a line substitute to compare with first choice for any position. ‘The Navy is somewhat better off for backfield substitutes, as the game against Pennsylvania indicated. In ad- dition to Bauer, Gannon, Kirn and Hag- berg, it has Williams, Tschirgi, Camp- bell, Hurley, Davis, Castree and others, all competent backfield men. Even in this department, however, it does not begin to have the reserves as are at the disposal of the Army team. | Army Reserve Strength Feared, Middy Observers Pessimistic The plan of starting with a reserve team has been contemplated as a measure to take the strain off the reg- ulars, but it has been abandoned, as it 1s r that the Navy will have to give its best from the start. Therefore, a heavy strain will bear upon the firsg selectians from the start. The Navy will, of course, try to make up for its lack of reserve force by main- taing a fast pace from the start and making use of certain special plays which it has not vet tried. Although the Navy proved quite versatile and re- sourceful against Pennsylvania, there is no question that it has kept something for its final effcrt against the Army, Numerical Coincidence, The great strength of the Navy's de- fense is in its powerful and active line- men and its clever backs, who can drive through if given any sort of a chance. But the Navy will be pre- pared to vary its driving game with some mnew passes and some running plays with new phases of deception. There is hardly any doubt that Wil- liams, Tschirgi, Hurley and probably Davis, Campbell and Castree will be in the Navy backfield at some period of the game, relieving the first string, made up of Bauer, Gannon, Kirn and Hagberg. A glance at the results of the previ- ous games played between the Naval and Military Academy teams shows that the Navy has won each of the four times that the game was played on a year which was a multiple of 10, and the Midshipmen say that only the Navy can win in 1930, In 1890, the first game between the academies, the Navy won, 24 to 0, and in 1900, the Navy placed a victory be- tween two defeats. In 1910 the score favored the Navy by 3 to 0, and in 1920 It was 7 to 0 the same way. BY FRANCIS J. POWER! (HICAGO, December 11.—What will Knute Rockne find when he goes to_the lumber pile next Spring—for it is in Spring practice that the old magician molds his teams—to search for material with which to builld another championship foot ball machine? ‘The slick rock saw eight regulars and six substitutes make their last dash for Notre Dame when Southern California was slaughtered, and not even a Merlin can replace with a mere wave of the hand such stars as Carideo, Brill, Mul- lins, Metzger, Kassis and Conley. Still Rockne does not seem greatly worried — just take a look at his schedule. There are always a half dozen stars in the making at Notre Dame. - of Gary, T Hling e shoes of Mcrey s , of Marty Brill when another season blossoms. Rockne thinks right well of Lukats, who was an honor student at Froebel High School. Only 19 years of age, 6 feet tall and 180 pounds of whalebone, the young fellow can do many things with a foot ball. Lukats is of Greek descent and won a scholarship to an Eastern university. But his name or something was unsat- isfactory to the gentlemen of the effete Eastern school, so the boy went to Notre Dame, where names and ancestry mean nothing so long as you can study and block hard. Lukats played only one year of high school foot ball and at Gary was better known as a track and basket ball star, but he is blooming under Rockne's eagle eye. 3 i Loses Three Ends. Rockne loses three ends—Tom Con- ley, Johnny O'Brien and George Vik. But to succeéd them he has Paul Host, Edwin Kosky and Dick Mahoney. Host and Kosky saw a lot of service during the recent campaign and Mahoney is developing rapidly. Al Culver be back at left tackle and it's likely that Frank Hoffman, Joe Kurth, Jim Car- mody and Bernard Cousino will be able the fill the other berth. Tom Kassis and Bert Metsger, the regular guards,'both have finished, but Hunk Anderson spent the Autumn grooming Bill Plerce and Bob Terlaak for the vacancies and both of the youngsters showed excellent form when working with the shock absorbers, Norman Greeney, Jim Harriss, Paul Kreuz and a half dozen others also are ready to compete for a part-time guard assignment. Notre Dame will be well equipped with experienced centers. Tom Yarr will be back and at the end of the season there were few better middle men than the husky boy from China- cum, Wash.

What price success? He was 1ll, physically, and mentally weary and wondered if it was worth it all. He was tired of foot ball, tired of the plaudits of the crowds and yearned to cast it all aside.
