THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.. LER 6 1 31— PART FIVE. 3 Gridders Flock to Dixie Fields Tomorrow : More School Squads Here to Start f VANDY D GEORGI APPEAR STRONGES New Coaches Sure to Make Virginia, Washington and | Lee Formidable. BY H. C. BYRD. | WENTY - THREE foot ball squads, representing the 23 universities and colleges comprising the Southern' Conference, simultaneously with, squads that wear the colors of | between 40 and 50 smaller institu- | tions in the South, put on their; uniforms tomorrow for their first: taste of 1931 practice. Probably more than 3,000 players will an-; swer the call for opening work-| outs to begin preparation for what should be the greatest sea- son the South has known. In no other section cf the country, | mpparently, is there such an outpour- ing of foot ball squads on the same | day. Practice throughout the South begins for - all scheols’ almost simulta- | neously, because the Southern Confer- ence has a rule providing that no players may take tho field until the | first Monday in September, and prac- tically all other schools, abiding by Southern Conference rules as they de,l g> out the same day. | Of course, it is too early to say what | s going to happen in the way of vie- | tories and defeats. Too many factors enter into the development of a foot ball squad, and the margin between re- markable success and unlooked for de- | feats is too much of a hairline for that: but Tight now some thrce or four | Echcols seem situated well enough to warrant a prediction that they should | have about as_strong teams as have ever trod a gridiron under their colors.‘ | ERHAPS no other university begins practice with better prospects than Vanderbilt and Georgia. Both had | big fast teams lzst year and both have | back practically their whole squads. As | far as material is concerned, it seems | that these schools start with a bit cf | an advantage over their rivals. Geor- | gia had a wonderful team in 1930, and | tomorrow it is to trot out that team | almost intact. And the same is true of Vanderbilt. Both schools have ex- ceplonally big lines and almost as big backs, and both lines and backs are fast. Georgia Tech is expected to be stronger this year and it is whispered that Louisiana State may prove some- thing of & dark horse. Alabama is not expected to be quite so good, as it lost | heavily by graduation from the eleven that swept things in the South and | then cleaned up st Pasadena. North| Carolii na and Kentucky will have big | teams and are likely to do much bet- ter than anybody expects, especially | Kentucky. In fact, for the last three | years Kentucky has been one of the foughest elevens in the South to whip. South Carolina s likely to be much | stronger than usual. Florida is not expecting to have quite as capable an | eleven as represented it last seascn. | Botn the Mississippl schools, the A. and M. College and the State Univer- | sity, seem to be a little below the con- ference average, and so does Sewanee. ORTH CAROLINA, of the schools in the upper end of the Confer- ence, already has been mentioned 23 having the same good prospects it has enjoyed the last four or five years, but. it also s true that Duke probably will have a fine eleven. Wallace Wade, | former Alabama _coach, who takes cherge there for his first season, said | Jast Spring that Duke had just about as | £ood material as he had at Alabama and | the team ought not be far from as good. Which really means something. North | olina State may do something toward pulling out of the rut in which it has been floundering for quite awhile University of Virginia is to be watch- ed, as this Fall it will match good | coaching with the excellent material it has, and the combination should pro- duce results. Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute probably is better fixed for ma- terial than any of the four schools in Virginia, while Maryland has back the bulk of its 1930 squad. 3 Washington and Lee. and Virginia Military Institute are sure to enjoy a Jot of improvement over last year. V. M. T. is not likely to show as much dif- | ference, though, as Washington and 1ee, as a complete metamorphosis may | take place there. | EVERAL of the schools send their | squads out tomorrow under*new | coaching systems. Most prominent of these changes are at_Virginia and | Duke. At the former Fred Dawson, | who once coached at Princeton, ‘whose ‘Nebraska teams whipped Notre Dame M,‘ its best, and who last year coached in | Colorado, is in charge. Dawson is an | exceptionally good man. H> would have | remained in the East or Middle West had it not been for his health. It is| understood that he has fully recovered Virginia under him should be an entire- | 1y different Virginia from the last three years. | There is not much doubt that Duke | people expect Wallace Wade do just about the same stunts at Dur-| ham that he put across at Tuscaloosa. | Wade succeeds Jimmie De Hart, who | has gone to Washington and Lee. De | Hart is not a stranger to Washington and Lee, as he spent several years| there before taking the job at Duke. | He will greatly improve Washington | and Lee foot ball, and probablv will | bring it back to the high plane 1t held | under him some five years back. Chet Wynne is at Alabama Poly- | technic Institute for the first time, | going there from St. Louis, and Josh | Cody, who has coached Clemson for | three years, is back at Vanderbilt to| help Dan McGugin. Jess Neely has succeeded Cody at Clemson. Frank | Thomas, former Notre Dame back, who | has been assisting Harry Mehre at| #eurgia. has taken up the reins drop- ! ped Uy Wallace Wade at Alabama. | Clipper Smith, who helped Tom Mills | at Georgetown last year, aiso is new to the Southern Conference in his role as wead mentor at North Carolina State. His outeok, though, probably is not so bright as the other new coaches. EVERAL of the Southern schools play their first gomes only two | weeks after they begin practice, | being scheduled on either Friday, Sep- tember 18, or Saturday. September 19 Three Virginia . institutions have games September 19 University of virginia has listed Roanoke to open the season at Charlottes- ville. Virginta Military Institute plays its first geme on that dat> with Hamp- den-Sidney. while William and Mary meets the Langley Field eleven. David- son, Mercer University, Mississippi C lege and Sewanee have games Septem- ber 19 with rather weak opponents. Loyola University against Louisiana College at New Orleans on September 18 is the first game schedulsd in the South. One of the features of the 1931 seas gon will be the opening of the new adium at the University of Virginia on Thursdav, October 15, with the Vir- =nh Military Institute ime.

September 5—The | United States Naval Acade ry today gave | its reason for resigning from the Eastern Interccllegiate Boxing League. Lieut. Comdr. L. D. McCormick, aide | to Rear Admiral Thomas C. Hart. suj erintendent of the Naval Acodemy, made the announcement. Their reason for resigning, given in a printed statement, was as follow “That, while the Naval Academy in- dorses dual team mects and recognizcs that there are benefits to be derived from such meets, it does not believe that the value derived from individual che rplonship contests, similar to those | conducted by the association, compen- | sates for the extension of the training | season beyond the period regularly as- signed for boxing at the Naval Academy. | or for the loss of acedemic instruction incurred by midshiopmen who partici- pate in the intercollegiate meets.” It was further stated by the admin- istration authoritics that the Naval| Academy had been considering such| action for some time but. in view of the fact that the Naval Academy had been a charter member of the associ- ation and had taken a leading part in its original conception and organiza-| tion, final decision was deferred until careful and comprehensive thought had been given the matter, and the reasons for resigning had been closely formu- lated. ‘The academy authorities were par- impression that they disapproved of intercollegiate boxing in general and they were apprehensive lest their with- drawal be considered, in some quarters. in this light. The resignation of the academy leaves Pennsylvania, Pennsyl- vania State, Western Maryland, Syra- cuse and the Massachusetts Instituts of Technology as the remaining members of the association. | They Ohio Stal | he | He ticularly anxious to avoid creating the| G.W.U.ADDSTHREE | 10175 GRID STAFF Raskowski, Kresky, Myers| George Washington University te tackle and all-America se- All Made Reputations in foot ball coaches was announced | lection in 1927; Joe Kresky, all-Western Middle West. last night by athletic omclalsj PPOINTMENT of three assistant of the institution. ! are Leo Raskowskl, | guard in 1928 with Wisconsin, and Bill formerly of Myers, ‘Westminster and Occidental Colleges, who gained sec- | tional recognition as the result of his | | play at both institutions. | Raskowski, who lives in Cleveland, | was all-Western tackle in 1926 and in 1927, besides winning all-America Ind‘ Big Ten recognition in 1927. 1In 1928 he again was picked for the all-Western | team.
