' BOASTS BACKFIELD WITH SPEED, POWER Also Has Plenty of Men for| Other Jobs, but McGugin Fails to Enthuse. BY H. C. BYRD. ESIDES an excellent array of B reserve material from the 1930 squad and a few very, promising freshmen from the same season, Vanderbilt has eight of its last year’s regulars working out in its varsity line-up. And yet Dan McGugin, head coach for nearly three decades, is not looking at the situation optimisti- cally, at least not for public ex- pression. But then Dan never says much about what he thinks may or may not happen, whether the prospects are rosy or as blue as indigo. Starting with Leonard, captain and quarterback, Vanderbilt has its 1930 backfield intact. Leonard is an excep- tionally clever runner in an open fleld, wel| about 170 pounds, and yet he is any more capable or much faster than the 190-pounders who dance over the fleld with him. -Thomas and Roberts, halfbacks, and Fortune, full- back, are the other three. Fortune weighs about 200 pounds, yet some idea of speed may be gained from the fact that in the Vanderbilt-Maryland game last year he caught Bosey Berger, Maryland back, after the latter had caught a pass in the clear with a good ‘lead, so easily that it seefied as if Berger were standing still. And Berger is considered -a fast back. Gracey is back at center, Foster and squads last warrant a_ belief that these positions should be filled rather easily. Surhein- to help him a good deal this’ year 1s that he has back with Jfl: e to increase interest in its basket ball. In addition to an excellent basket ball court, it is to have & large syim- ming pool. ILL ALEXANDER, coach at Georgia ‘Tech, says that he will turn out an eleven this year that should do well, provided he does not have to de- d a good deal on replacements. It Alexander’s opinion that eleven should be more in 1930, as he has available line ma- terial that seems to. stack much better than his forwards of season. Georgia_ Tech suffered & loss during the past Summer in its athletic facili- ties, as its basket ball building burned to the ground. No effort has as yet been made to replace the bullding, and it seems now,«according- to' Alexander, that none will be for'another year. It 1s hoped to get plans in such s ‘that the building may be reconstrus for use in the Winter of 1933. POJELLO IN MAIN MAT BOUT TONIGHT Favored to Fling LeDoux on His Ear—Card Calls for Five Other Tilts. ARL POJELLO, the 190-pound Lithuanian wrestler, will be the main attraction tonight at Grifith Stadium when he op- poses the barrel-chested Canadian, Jean ‘Le Doux, in the feature of a six-bout card. Pojello, who ruled the light-heavies for seven years and then gave up the crown in search of further competition, is one of the cleverest wrestlers in the gams today; but is a bit shy on face- making and grunting ability, which, being the rage, is rewarding the: ex- ponents of these arts by much cash and matches with the higher-ups. Carl will be greatly outweighted, as usual, but is the favorite to repose Mr. | Le Doux, & “reformed” Sandow circuit matman, on his ear. ‘Two other finish bouts will be on the card. Tiny Roebuck and Milo Stein- born meet in one of these exhibitions while Pat O’'Shocker and John Maxos clash in the other. The preliminaries follow: Son Jen- nings vs. Mike Romano, Doc Wilson vs. Nazzerino Poggi and George Roman-~ off vs. George Kiatti. ‘Women with escorts will be admitted free to tonight's show, which will begin ’ at 8:30° o'clock.

D. Webb, Dr. T. J. Rice and Charles B. Stewart, Dickey hit his ball down the hill into the green, but instead of hitting only the ball he also bumped another one. Immediately in front of his own ball lay another ball lost in the high grass by some golfer, and hidden from Dickey’s view. When he struck his own ball he also dislodged the hidden ball and the two went together onto the green. FFICIAL notification has been given J. Munro Hunter, Indian Spring professional, that his services will not be at the club after March 15 next, Hunter is president of the Middle Atlantic Professional lers’ Association and a leading figure in professional golf about Washington, be- sides being one of the finest players ever to appear about the Capital.

NDICATIONS are that the St. Alban’s* School foot ball team will not be as heavy as-last season, but will be faster. It also will have the advantage of more experienced material.
