BY H. C. BYRD. ries of long standing are to be fought out this Saturday. From the Yale-Harvard game, at Cambridge, to that between Stanford and California, at Palo| Alto, teams will meet in climax struggles for them, which mean the whole season. Up in New England the battle between the Crimson and the Blue holds the center of the foot ball stage. Harvard has an undefeated season behind it, and, if it can win from Yale, will have achieved the greatest gridiron success it has enjoyed in years. An unde- feated, untied season, with a vic- tory over Yale, Crimson cup to the overflowing. Undoubtedly, Harvard has the best foot ball team it has turned out in many years, probably since the Haughton regime. Not only is the Crimson _versatile and brilliant _at times, but it has added to these grid- iron virtues the gem of consistency. Yale has a good foot ball team. and probably fairly close to an even chance to win, but it hardly should be given an even pre-game break. Of course. Yale will have less of a psychological burden to carry, as it has been de- feated and also’ tied, and consequently has_everything to gain and nothing to lose, leaving out of consideration the very natural blueness that always comes to Vale from a defeat by Har- vard. It may be that this great rivalry will break down whatever adventage Har- vard may have and place the two teams on the fleld on just as even a basis 8s two teams ever can be in foot ball. Harvard has not shown the wild scor- wer essed by Yale, but at e it has played in such to indicate that defensively Dartmouth, for should be one of the greal which the with the UT at Palo Alto the size of the crowd ‘that watches the Stanford and California teams do battle ton. 3,000 miles away or thereabouts, Stanford and California alumni are to gather at a banquet, the chief attra tion of which will be the radio bi cast of the foot ball game. That California-Stanford contest is to the Pacific Coast what the Yale- Harvard game is to New England, with the same color, enthusiasm and spiritual revival of interest in campus activities. EHIGH and Lafayette offer to their alumni the same kind of a con- t. These schools are hardly a stone’s throw apart, yet have bcen meeting for many years in a rivalry that, while bitter in the extreme, still is friendly. ‘The victor in this game will have a successful year, ,while the only consola- tion for the loser is the hope for better results next season. in the Western part of Maryland is to be played a game that has back of it years of rivalry and to each school means everything, although to the outside public it means little. . That is the meeting between Western Maryland and Mount St. Mary's. These colleges have for many years been meet- ing to settle their gridiron feud, al- though recently Western Maryland has had much the better of the situation. ‘The South settles most of its ancient rivalries on Thanksgiving day, but two or three are listed Saturday. Duke and North Carolina, for instance, in a game at Durham hook-up in a contest which means everything to Duke and, under present conditions, not far from every- thing to North Carolina. UT in the Middle West the big games are between Minnesota and Mich- igan and Indiana and Purdue. Years ago some trainer on either the Minnesota or Michigan team carried away with him a jug used as a water bottle by the other school and since that time that jug has been an em- blem of victory for one of these two elevens. No other game of the season carries with it for these two schools the desires and hopes that their annual meeting carries. Purdue and Indiana are rivals in everything and they have opinions of each other that carry with them little in the way of praise. Indiana, the State university, regards Purdue, the State college of agriculture and me- chanical arts, as just lacking, while Purdue is inclined to look upon Indiana as representative of an effete existence not highly regarded by real he-men. So on the foot ball field, the two schools see exemplified their natural rivalry 1n all things, and in no other game, or athletic contest of any kind is partisan interest more intense, withal that alumni of each school actually re- ; gards the other s a fine schocl. ‘The Nebraska-Iowa State gome has been played for many vears, and even back around 1900 was the centor of interest for both institutions. In the old days Nebraska used to look unon its game with Ames as the high spot of its season, and probably about the only thing that Ames would rather do than win over Nebraska would be to sink the University of Jowa under a tidal wave. ‘The same kind of rivalry exists between Jowa State. or Ames, as it's familiarly called in that section, anc the Univer- sity of Towa that exists in Indiana be- tween Purdue and Indiana.

Note how a path is cleared for 1 between the defensive right end and tackle. Back (2) and guard (7) take this opposing end; left end (8) and back (4), the opposing tackle. This leaves linemen (5 and 6) to take 1 through the opening.

NOW LOGKS TO TITLE PROGRAM Other Business Completed| With Only One Flare-up, That Over Redistricting. By the Associated Press KANSAS CITY, November 17.—The. Amateur Athletic Union filed away its major problems of the forty-third an- nual convention here today and turned to a program listing official award cf tournament dates and cities and selec- tion of officers and trustees. The only matter to break the other- wise harmonious atmosphere of the conference yesterday arose over a pro- posed amendment to the by-laws to limit the functions of the Redistricting Committee. Avery Brundage, Chicago, the presi- dent, however, pointed out that under the constitution redistricting must be done by agreement of the constitution with 50 days' notice. He then referred the matter to a committee. Virtual completion of recommenda- tions to the United States Olympic Executive Committee at New York No- vember 29 was reported by the Track and Field and Swimmirgy Committee: of the American Olympic Association, also in ressicn here, The Track and Field Committee recommended that trials for positions on the American decathlon team in the 1932 Oiympic games at_Los Angelcs be held at Chicago Jiune 24 and 25, with the site to be selected later. This body also favored adoption of metric measurements to conform with Olympic distances and in_another rec- ommendation suggested that the 1932 track and field championships of the 1. C. A A. A A and the National Col- legiate A.hletic Association adopt the plan. These championships will qualify competitors ‘or_the final Olympic try- outs at Stanford Uriversity. RECORD SET AS DEAN WINS COLLEGE "CHASE Penn Star Chips 42 Seconds Off 01d Mark in Cross-Country Race. Harvard Team Best. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 17.— Dan Dean of Pennsylvania has dethroned Clark Chamberlain, Michigan State ace, country champion, but only by breaking the course record, | Dean shaved 42 seconds off the old mark for the 6-mile course in Van| Cortlandt Park yesterday to beat | Chamberlain by 25 yards, with George | Baker of New ¥ork University: third, Bill McKAlff ‘of Penn fourth and Joc McCluskey cf Fordham fifth. Dean was timed in 120:232, as com- pared with the record of 30:06 set | Jointly by Francis Lindsey and Harry | Richardson of Maine two years ago. Chamberlain, Barker, McKniff and McCluskey all bettered the old rec- ord and the sixth-place winner, J. J. Ryan of Manhattan, tied it. Chamber- lain was caught in 29:29; Barker, 29:30; %c?zmx in 29:51 and McCluskey, Hdrvard carried off teams honors with the excellent low total of 44 points, placing five men in the first 13. Penn- | sylvania was second with 95: Penn | State, defending champion, third with | 100, and New York University, fourth | with 129, Frank Crowley led Manhattan Col- lege to victory in the freshman 3-mile run, winning the event in the new rec- ord’ time of 14:13. The old record of 14:47 was set by McCluskey in 1929. Manhattan won the team title with 31 points.

WHAT A sILLY RAcceT! —By TOM DOERER Butl(;;', W};ichiPlays G. W. Here, Always Produees Good Teams UTLER UNIVERSITY, George Washington's opponent Friday night at Griffith Stadium, is not so well known here, but in its relationships in the Middle West always has enjoyed a high rating. In fact, at times it has been so good that many of its sister institutions have shown more of an inclination to stay clear of its teams than to meet them. Last week Butler lost to Marquette, 21 to 0, buf that was hardly anything more than was to be expected, as Mar- quette usually has a much more pow= erful eleven than the average school. Located at Indianapolis, Butler is a school of about 2,000 students. Its ath- Ietic teams, while not on a par with Western Conference institutions, still are strong; might be called exception- | ally strong compared to schools in this section. Probably a fair comparison of the strength of Butler teams could be given by saying that they are about on a par with Virginia, Washington and Lee and Virginia Military Institute. In basket ball Butler teams in all prob- ability as a general thing would meas- ure up higher than schools in this sec- tian. Just what Butler will do against George Washington is, of course, a matter of conjecture, as is any prob- able foot ball result, for that matter. George Washington scouts brought back the report that Butler is strong and that it will come here prepared to give the Colonials the battle of their young_lives Coach Jim Pixlee said this morning | 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. Oscar Stanage, Detroit catcher, came to the front more rapidly dur- ing the past season than any other young catcher in the American League. Many experts thought he was the best receiver in the league. Georgetown will meet Virginia in their annual big game foot ball game here tomorrow. Maryland Aggies will face their old foe, Western Maryland, and Gal- iaudet and Washington College are to meet. Central was favored to win over Eastern in their public high title grid game today. | that George Washington would have to be at its best or be prepared to take a trimming. “Butler has a good foot ball team,” | says Pixlee, “just as it has good teams in other sports, and you may rest as- sured that it will have on the field Friday night against us an eleven that no opponent could take lightly and get away with it. I regard the game as about an even-up proposition, if we are at our best. If anything happens that we do not play up to our highest standard, then we may take a beating.” George Washington expects to be in better physical shape than for any of its previous contests. The two weeks rest it has had seems to have given the players new life and certainly has given bruises and sprains a chance o heal. Butler's team will arrive here late Thursday evening or early Friday morning. burgh on busses and thence to Wash- ington by train. BACK BOOTH LIMPS TO YALE PRACTICE Harvard Will Have Full Strength Saturday for Struggle With 0ld Elis. NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 17.— Alble Booth is back in uniform, and Yale hopes for a victory over Harvard Saturday have risen accordingly. Booth, however, was limping a bit as he went through a long offensive and defensive workout with the varsity yes- terday. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 17— Harvard's regulars yesterday forgot about foot ball and enjoyeéd their an- nual holiday on the golf course and tennis courts of the Myopia Hunt Club. The Crimson will start work for Yale today, with the squad at full strength. PRINCETON, N. J., November 17— A shift which sent Ceppi from fullback to his old place at guard featured the first step in Princeton’s preparation for the Yale game November 28. Al Wittmer is using three accurate passers in_ the backfield—Seyfarth, Cralg_and Draudt—indicating he hopes to baffle Yale with an aerial barrage. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC! Green Wave of Tulane is quite a striking sector of foot ball surf. In the way of all-around quality this Tulane team can hold its own with any outfit on the map, for it has all the needed ingre- dients for high ranking—speed, driving power, smartness and experience. It 15n’t often that one will see as fine a backfield working behind as powerful a line. Zimmerman, Payne, Dawson, Felts, Glover and others are all backs of quality and no team can show a bet- ter pair of ends than Dalrymple and Haynes. If there was a weakness in the Green ‘Wave cast it wasn’t brought forth in the Georgia test, and this goes both ways, offensively and defensively, The ing attack was finely executed and exceptionally well conceived. The run- ning attack was featured by an end sweep back of fast, compact interfer- ence such as one seldom sees today. It was a reminder of Notre Dame's end-run drives with Carideo, Brill and Savoldi blocking for Schwartz or O'Con- nor. The Tulane line is a fast, hard- charging aggregation and they all seem to be built for the work—rugged, power- ful types that crashed through the Georgia line repeatedly to break up running plays. It is an aggressive, fast- charging line that can hold its own with any set of forwards in the country, may be impossible this season to plek out any one team and call it best. N Dame, Tulane, Ten- nessee, Harvard and Northwestern, among the leaders, all have their chance to finish the season without a bump. Among these Tulane’s place must be high, and the same is true of Tennessee, which gives the South two of thé best that the Nation can show for 1931. You won't see many better all- around backs than Don Zimmerman. He is a fast, alert, hard-running ball carrier who can also pass with accu- racy. Yet he doesn't outclass Payne and other mates, who are among the best blockers of the yvear. The end play of Dalrymple and Haynes stands out. It was almost impossible to take either out of the play, while both are exceptional pass Teceivers. Dalrymple is a slashing, inspired t; of player and the same is true of Zimmerman. The Georgia team was not at its peak, but even at its peak it lacked the all- around strength of line and backfield play which Tulane can send to &= wars. Both Catfish Smith and Austin Downes, two of Georgia's stars, were below their best, but few can keep at top form all year through a hard schedule. The one soft spot in Tulane’s play was fumbling. The intense heat and the bitterness of the contest seemed to have hit the nerves of both teams, as the game was marred by an almost endless series of penalties from start to finish. ‘There were something like 18 official judgments rendered against the two ufluda. where Tennessee and Vander- biit broke a record without s penalty applied all afternoon., The team plans to come | through from Indianapolis to Pitts- Much Passing Due In Game at Navy NNAPOLIS, Md, November 17 (@)—It will be pass for pass when Navy entertains South- ern Methodists’ eleven here Satur- day, “Rip” Miller, head coach of the Middies, declared. He pictured the Mustangs as hav- ing too much line power for rushing plays. The varsity received a light signal drill yesterday, but Miller declared there was plenty of hard work for the varsity ahead before the next game. The second and third teams scrim- maged against the Plebes. C. U. SEES REAL FOE IN PROVIDENCE TEAM Report of Scouts Backs Up View Held by Coach Bergman That Cards Have Big Task. Dutch Bergman, Catholic University coach, sald Sunday that he expected Providence College to be one of the toughest teams his men have met this year, but since talking with the men who scouted the Providence team last :reek he just about knows that to be | rue. 1 There are no expectations in the light | in which Bergman now regards the con- | test. It is his opinion that Catholic | University, despite its good record, will | | be_lucky to win. | Providence Coilege has in its back- ' | fleld two of the fastest men in college foot ball. They are Brady and Bar- barito. Both have scholastic Spring | records behind them and the latter, it is | reported. is not only fast, but very | elusive.

QUEER COMEBACK MADE BY W, & L De Hart’s Team Scores Four Upsets in Row After Miserable Start. BY R. D. THOMAS. ASHINGTON'S' bedrag- \ ;s [ gled army triumphed at Yorktown (or did it?), Lee’s gave up the ghost at Richmond. It’s all very much mixed up, but the gridiron sol- diers of Washington and Lee seem destined to gather alike the fruits and ashes that were the lot of the men of grim old George and the romantic Robert E. In other words, if Washington and Lee manage to pin back the ears of Maryland next Saturday in the home- coming game at College Park, it will have peaked with glory a career which has touched the bottom of things. 'HE Generals defeated Princeton last Saturday, 6-0, and, according to a Maryland scout, the Washington and Lee goal would be safe from the Tlsix‘ had the game endured until next week. This was the fourth surprise in a row sprung by the lads from Lexington, who started the streak of upsets with an 18-0 victory over Virginia a month ago. It was Dot less surprising when they played a scoreless tie with William and Mary. and it was a sure enough dope-dumper_when they came back to defeat V. P. I, 6-0. Nobody on this green earth—well, this part of it—expected Washington and Lee to whip Princeton, lame though the Tiger be, this year. THE Generals’ dismal early season showing fixed the premise for these miscalculations. In the second game of the campaign they. fell before little Davicson College, 7-0, and elicited groans from those who hoped for better things at Lexington with the return of ;?e:{ favored coach of yore, Jimmy De art. It was downright painful when Ken- tucky smeared the Generals all over the place in rolling up 45 points, & total that might have been with scant effort. And next came a 19-0 loss to West Virginia. By this time the Generals a Dofdig only what Had gone belore. eg 0 only wl gone before. in larger doses. HEN began the brave comeback. This has been watched with pecu- liar interest by Maryland.
