ARL CASHION, pitcher, doubt- less is the most promising youngster on the Washington ball team. He is the biggest man in base ball, standing 6 feet 2 inches. in his stocking feet and weighing 207 stripped. Georgatown and Maryland Aggie foot ball squads were to scrimmage this afternoon.

Going into the fourth period | with a lead of two touchdowns, | Notre Dame seemed a bit too con- i tent with its position and under- | estimated the fighting qualities of the Trojans. Then, when the| Southern California attack began | to develop, Notre Dame assisted ir | its own defeat by interference plays that were patent to all spec- tators and quite unnecessary. ! There is an opinion, also, that the Notre Dame coaches were too easily satisfied with their lead, and they have been criticized for having Joe Kurth and Nordoff Hoffman, the two out- standing men on the Irish, out of the game and ineligible for return when the Trojan onslaught reached its peak. Howard Jones mancuvered his players | with splendid judgment and in that de- tail won a distinct edge over the Notre Dame leaders. | Sparling’s Runs Turned Tide. | Every game has its turning point, | and coming back on the Southern Cali- | fornia special, the Trojan players ex- | pressed the bellef that it was Ray Sparling’s reverse runs that turned the tide. Sparling’s play is not an end- | around run, for the big wingman drops into the backfield and assumes the duties of a halfback. He is a fine, powerful runner, and against Notre Dame he was given some excellent in- terference. Another vital play in the game was the pass caught by Bob Hall, the veteran | Hegarty, end, likely will be elected captain of thc 1912° Georgetown U. foot ball team. INSPIRED VIRGINIA 10 FACE CAROLINA Cavalier Eleven Looks to Thanksgiving Day Tilt Undaunted. NIVERSITY, Va., November 23. —Virginia will be aiming high when the Cavaliers go to Chapel Hill to play North Cerolina on Thank:giving day in the thirty-seventh renewel f the oldest gridiron rivalary between Southern Conference te2ms. The game is sched- uled for 2 o'clock in Keenan Stadium. All the Virginia players realize that in Chapel Hill they will face an eleven that has a considerably superior physi- cal equipment, is much heavier in the line if not in the backfield, end is ex- perienced in a system that most of the men have played for three scasons. If inspiration can offset and cver- come better technical skill on the gridiron Virginia will win. If not the Virginians will have the consolation of knowing that they have done their best against & superior team. Revival of Team Spirit. Since the V. M.

At just about the same time Carnera is sailing down the bay on his way to Germany, Max Schmeling will be sailing up the bay on his way from Germany.

It was just a little less than two years $g0—on January 24, 1930, to be exact— | that Carnera first unveiled himself be- fore a gathering of American fistic fans. The ceremonies were brief. They took place in Madison Square Garden, with Big Boy Peterson collaborating with Carnera. Peterson Started Dives. In what was to become a good old Carnera custom, Peterson passed out of the picture so rapidly that the custom- ers were unable to obtain more than a | fleeting glimpse of Primo. Peterson, his | face distorted with an agonized expres- soin that would have done credit to a heavyweight wrestler, took the long count in the very first round.

Daviscourt, fully as huge as Kire- ‘lcnko, is expected to give the Russian | plenty of trouble. It will be a finish | bout. Kirelenko is regarded a real comer in the wrestling racket. After suffer- ing a defeat at the hands of Rudy Dusek here recently, he has come along strong and last Friday evened his score with Dusek by winning over the | Bokemian in Boston via the foul route.

Schwartz Best Back in Game. ‘When all the arguments have been shelved Marchie Schwartz still will be rated the best back in that game. He was the one man who couid con- sistently gain against the powerful Trojan defense and the Notre Dame quarterbacks may be criticized for not using him more cften. Schwartz car- ried the ball 18 times for an average gain of 45-9 yards and seldom was stopped without some sort of an ad- vance.

He plays both positions well and is quite capable as a field general Shaver is a good, strong runner and showed excellent biocking power against Notre Dame, the best passer on the team. It was his fine throw that helped Troy to its second touchdow A senior, Howard Jones, rater Shaver as one of the most valuable men on the Southern California team. There is no discounting the blocking ability of Ernie Pinckert, but he is not a zoofll ball carrier and does not pass or punt. ! Shaver must be rated as the best of | the Trojan backs. Outstanding on the line Kurth, the Notre Dame tackle, Johnny Baker. the Trojan guard. was Kurth who blocked Bake ick after the first touchdown, and for a time it appeared that effort would give | Notre Dame the margin of victory. Kurth also made many forays through | the Trojan line to tackle runners before plays were well under way. Baker’ field goal obviously made him the hero of Troy, but his line play was tre- mendous.

Byler was adjourned after four hours _of play Walker deiended with a Petroff d fense, which was popular in Pillsbury's day. Byler got the better of the posi- tion in the opening moves.

Byler at- tempted to get rid of Walker's well posted knight, but in doing so enabled Walker to win a plece.
