SP B e e e P T Gallaudet, American U. Again Face Tasks : Burke’s Peculiarities Amaze Jones HAVENT MATERIAL GRIDFOES POSSESS Also Suffer in Comparison in Facilities—Both Play Hard Schedules. BY H. C. BYRD. ALLAUDET and American University, local schools | G that get far less considera- | tion for their gridiron ac- complishments than they de- serve, year after year go on play- ing through what to them are the hardest kind of schedules, and from mediocre material keep on ! developing good elevens. Both institutions build up foot ball teams season after season out of material that probably would cause some others to give up in despair. In fact, several schools | have abandoned foot ball under | less unfavorable conditions. This vear s not an exception. With from 60 to 100 boys ifrom whom to draw material for their squads, both Gallaudet and American U. are calmly preparing to play through schedules in which they will constantly be meeting | schools with many more students and | in many cases far better facilities ng athletes. That these two col- l.wq!:c:‘n'lble to do this vear after filr and without a word of alibi is & tribute to the spirit of their students and to the courage of heir coaches.

Probably the strongest teams to be met by Gallaudet are Cath- olie University, Penn: ania ilitary College, Marines and St. John's. The | strongest _opponen will be Johns Hopl Sidney.

Without much doubt, though, both Gal- laudet and American accounts of Ptuhen;‘selves. handicaps. t the coacl the blgé’er schools out on the gridiron and tell them to develop a team under such conditions, to play against oppo- nents under such handicaps, and prob- ably somebody would have to bring out | the smelling salts. | And Walter Young of American U. | and Teddy Hughes of Gallaudet are just the kind of feilows one would_ex- | pect to find in such surroundings. Both | are fine, clean chaps who are in the game more for the contacts and oppor- | tunities it offers to do good jobs in | helping to build men out of boys than for the salaries they get. Incidentally, both are coaches. After the opening game with Lynch- burg College October 3, American Uni- | versity takes another trip away on Oc- | tober 10, on this date to meet Hampden- | Sidney. Its first home game is with High Point College here October 17, and High Point may this year be any- thing but an easy team to whip. On | October 24 the team makes another | trip to play Shenandoah College. In fact, all its Temaining contests are on foreign flelds, as it plays at Shepherd College October 31, at Johns Hopkins | November 7 and Randolph-Macon | November 21. No game is scheduled on November 14. | ALLAUDET developed a few sur- | prises last season and it may do the seme thing this year. Its vic- tories over Baltimore University and St. Francis, for instance, in 1930 proved that a small schicol with a small squad could whip much_larger schools with larger squads.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO! World Speedboat Record Due To Be Made as Don and Wood Start Harmsworth Cup Races BY DAVID J. WILKIE. Associated Press Staft Writer, ETROIT, Beptember 5.—Bar- ring mechanical trouble, or other mishaps common to such contests, & new world record for competitive speed boat racing | will be set up late today when Gar Wood and Kaye Don meet in the first heat of the seventeenth renewal of the | Harmsworth Trophy race. Don, British challenger, and Wood, who has held the trophy for more than decade, have driven their hydro- lanes, Miss England II and Miss Amer- ica IX, respectively, at more than 100 miles an hour in straightaway trials. The gourd-shaped Harmsworth course, laid out in the Detroit River, probably will not permit a 100-mile pace, but last _year's average for the Harmsworth of 77.390 miles an hour is considered certain to fall in the first 30-mile heat this afternoon. The hazards of the high-speed con- test that have dogged every foreign attempt to wrest the trophy from Wood since he won it in England in 1920 were brought home in a measure to the gray-haired veteran defender late yes- terday when during a test:run with Miss America IX the yalve on one of the superchargers with which he has equipped his engines was blown out. Had this happened during the race Wood's chief reliance in defense of the trophy would have been eliminated. In the face of this mishap and de- spite the fact that a swarm of announced the withdrawal from the race of his Miss America V. The THE LISTE action was taken as a gesture of sports- manship and friendliness. It left Wood with Miss America VIII and Miss Amer- ica IX in the race, but at the same time made way for Horace E. Dodge's Miss Syndicate III to join the American team of three boats, provided the Rac- ing Committee decides the Dodge entry is seaworthy. Twelve hours before the race Miss Syndicate III had not been formally accepted by the Racing Com- | mittee and still had her qualifying trial. Although Don is regarded as the most,_formidable opponent ever to face Wood in Harmsworth ¢ ap2tition and has become extremely popular during the fortnight he has been here pre. paring for the race, he faces big odds in his task today. Don has driven his boat 110.223 miles an hour, while Wood has attained more than 103 miles with his Miss America IX. Wood claims, however, that installation of superchargers has stepped the defend- |'er's speed up to close to 118 an_hour. ‘Wood is conceded an advantage also in his familiarity with the course and its various turns as well as the fact that his twin propellers permit a te) speed around_the turns than the s propeller on Don's Miss England II. Don hopes to be first across the starting K;e, but faces still another handicap in that if he beats the start- ing gu by as much as 5 seconds he automatically disqualifies himself. | Wood plans to keer ing acre the staiting line, disqualify essary, to keep on even terms. His | strategy, however. will be to have his | Miss America VIII lie back and be cer- | taln to cross after the gun, thus au- for | mechanics were needed on the big| tomatically qualifying at least one de- | hydroplane throughout last night, Wood fending boat. | The race is scheduled to start at 5:30 | pm. (Eastern standard time). NING POST BY WALTER TRUMBULL HERE has been a bit of com- plaint as to the umpiring in the big leagues this season. Umpiring is no easy job. Tt I umpires have to do, In 1927, playing with St. Louls, Frankie Frisch accepted 1,037 chance Thst was a great plate umpire might have that. number of chances in haif a dozen games. He calls strikes, bal fouls, hits, balks, interference, plays at the plate and va- C& rious other things. | It is no great wonder that an umpire sometimes makes mistakes. If he is right three- ' quarters _of the time he is a fine umpire. says he is always rignt. An umpire must call things as he sees them and he has no time to consider the matter. His is about the hardest job on a ball field. On the Notre Dame foot bell squad there is a player from New Orleans who should be hcard from. His name is Tom Daigle and he was picked on a number of all-star school teams. He is a Atockl boy, a good passer and punter and faster than a couple gf jackrabbits. He is 21, weighs about |150 and has run 100 yards in 9.8 sec- onds. Moreover, on a foot ball fleld he is a shifty runner, which many sprint- ers are not. There will be a halfback on the University of Mississippi team this Au- tumn who probably is even faster than Daigle. He also is larger, standing about 5 feet 11 inches and weighing 160 pounds. This boy's name is Jack Burnett and he can mike even Toppino, fastest man in the South, go the 100 in 9.6 and the 220 in 21.3. ‘That is traveling. versity from what it was a year ago. On Ogtober 17 the team goes to Langley Field for a geme with the| eleven representing that Army aviation | base, then the following week. October | 24, plays its first home game with| Camp Meade. On October 31 the Ken- dall Greeners are scheduled to go to Chester to play Pennsylvania Military College. November 6 they meet the Marines and on November 14 and 21 face St. John's at Annapolis and Shep- herd Coliege at Kendall Green. | ‘Whatever may be the results of their| seasons, No matter how many games are won or lost, everybody will feel that both Gallaudet and American U. will have done as well as could be expected. And both schools may rest assured that they have the best wishes of all who know what foot ball really stands for. NLY one of the 49 foot ball candi- dates for the George Washington University elsven who have been invited by Head Coach James E. Pixlee | to report to the training camp at Camp | Letts is a senior.

Three years ago Knute Rockne told me that he didn't think so much of the lateral pass, but before another season his Ramblers were using it with decisive results. The success of other clevens with this mode of attack evid»ntly caused him to give it more serious study. The result was the plag shown here. His team worked it with such rapidity that a mass of interference led the runner. The snap was to the No. 4 back, who faked passing it to 3 as 3 ran by him to the left rear. Four then turned and started for the defensive right end. As the latter tackled him, 4 tossed the ball far out to the $de to No. 3, who got it on the dead run, thus flanking the end with four interferers—backs 1 and 2 and guards 6 and 7. The finishing touch was to have right end, 5. block his opposing tackle and then go through and cut down one of the defensive backs. ‘This play, when I first saw it, struck me as being about the last word in the lateral pass, especcially effective because of the power of similar straight end runs around the short side.

The Solo- | mons boatmen are taking their parties | up the Patuxent, instead of out in the | bay, and some good catches were re- ported early in the week, but the trout and bluefish haven’t been biting so well the last couple of days. Up as far as Benedict, however, come reports of excellent fishing. Capt.

(Editor's mote: Billy Burke. the sub- ject of Bobby Jomes' accompanuing article, wiil pair with George Von Eim. his runmer-up in the matiomal open. tomorrow, at Indian \Spring against the host club's pro team, Monro Hunter and George Diffenbauch, in a special match., BY BOBBY JONES, World's Poremost Golfer. ILLY BURKE, the new open golf champion of the United States, presents one of the most interesting studies we | have yet had. In the first place, | he 1s one of the few I have ever known, I might almost say the only golfer I have ever known, who could keep his game at razor |edge through two hard weeks of competition. And this competition | was all through blistering heat .‘whlch makes the handicap even greater. I think Burke's scoring jav{erage from the Ryder Cup |elimination rounds on through ‘the double play-off is one of the | greatest things I have ever known ‘h-xl.ll;ol{l.I ow he was able to turn In that 71 after such a long stretch of m @olf, after such a week of pressure, is something beyond me. It not only proves that he knows how to hit a golf ball, but also that he is supplied with an unlimited amount of courage, stamina, nerve control and the ability to keep his concentration unbroken. Any golfer who comes up to his game, his’ best game, is lucky to hold it for a week at a time, so far as competitive golf goes. Burke held his peak form through 72 holes of qualifying for the Ryder Cup team, through 72 holes of Ryder Cup play, or nearly that much, and then through 144 holes of open pressure without slipping or breaking at | any stage. He is bound to have nerves | of steel, strong legs and more than the | usual amount of determination. For | George Von Elm is a great fighter as well as a great golfer whom no one | can underestimate at any moment of a match. B URKE'S style is in some degree a departure from what we have come to look on as the mold of form. He tends over the ball a bit more than is usual among the first-rank players | and consequently there is more of a | bend in his elbows as he places the clubhead in position back of the ball. At the same time his demeanor as he addresses the ball suggests the taking of infinite pains. He impresses me as a player who has learned his game through a lot of hard work, as co; trasted to one who has come by it easily and naturally. It is a little difficult to éxpress just what I mean ihete. but I think any one watching | will readily detect a - | between him and such play | Hagen, Von Elm, Mortie I | Sarazen and others. | It seems to me that T _e is one of the few men in golf though the right hand does not aciually domi- | nate the stroke, do let it play rather | more than the average’ part and yet | manage to keep it from doing any damage. Instead of pulling through with the Jeft hand with the appearance of a big lash his right comes in as he hits. Burke seems to pull through with both hands, if such a thing is possible. But apparently there is no }mndency with him to let the left arm | collapse utterly and to allow the right to overpower it. And this is one of the most impressive things to me about his play. I have never seen him hit I8 shot which indicated that this was 3, say, » Gene what could be called a te: NOTHER action in Burke's swing | seems to me to be at variance with the practice of many of the other good players. This is the way he handles his head. Just as he starts the club down he lowers his head per- ceptibly. This means, of course, that | it must come back up again by t time he hits the ball. So far as I was able to see this never really affected | his play at any time. Yet in combina- | tion with the bent elbows it does, I think, explain why the right arm and | hand are a little more active through- |out the swing than we ordinarily ex- pect. Whether Billy is working out and developing his game to its present | high plane has ever thought conscious- ly of these things in just this way, I don't know, and whether he has or not, it is just as well. He has devel- oped & method that suits him, and that serves him well. ERTAINLY whatever is said about his swing must be good. It is hard to imagine how any one could have played the golf that he played beginning with the Ryder Cup trials at | Columbus and ending with the second | play-off at Toledo. ~After the Ryder Cup matches, I wrote that the kind of golf which Burke was playing was just the thing that Inverness required, and I sald that Burke's amazingly straights play from tee to green would make him | awfully dangerous on & narrow cours: like the Toledo lay-out. But I hardly | had any idea that he would be able to | keep up such a consistently fine pace. He must Lave been worn to a frazzle by the time the tournament proper was |over. How he kept going on and on through two extra days of play when the going was as tough as Von Elm made it is one of the wonders of the game. And this is especially true since Burke, usually a fine putter, I believe, was having absolutely no particular luck on the greens.
