U. : Fans Divided on Grid Tilts Today PARSACA, AT FULL, 1S A GREAT PLAYER Team Rated Better Than Its| Record—Mills Predicts Great Battle. BY H. C. BYRD. ¢ ‘[ ]mvmmnwnmon* will bring here for im‘ game with us Saturday one of the greatest back- fields that has ever been seen in ‘Washington,” said Coach Tom Mills of Georgetown this morning. “The main strength of the De- troit eleven lies in the four men /| it has been using as regulars andi in a fifth who has played almost as much as the other four. Two fine ends also are in the line-up, but the backfield especially meas- ures up to about as good as there is anywhere. | “In Parsacg Deircit has about the | best fullback the Middle West. At least, he is classed that way by the majority of foot ball men with whom I | have talked, and certainly that is my opinion. Tooker at right half and Rej- kovitch at left are wonderfully good | men, while Shearer at quarter is clever in everything that goes to make good quarterback play. O'Neil is the fifth back who fills in at cne of the halves, usually at left, and is hardly in ferior to the regulars. He is one of the | fastest backs in the Middle West | “Two brilliant ends make up the re- mainder of the outstanding players in | the Detroit line-up. Sharkey _and Hackett can do everything on the flanks that any other man can, especially the | latter, who, I undemstand, is to be| chosen this year by a good many as the best end in the Middle West. Sharkey weighs 200 pounds and Hackett 190.” CCORDING to all reports, Mills’ cpinion of the Detroit players is| not exaggerated in the least. Georgetown scouts who watched the Detroit-Michigan State game 10 days ago say that Detroit is really stronger than its victory over Michigan State shows, which means nothing other tham that Georgetown is up against cne of the most powerful elevens in the Middle ‘West section. This morning Mills was asked .the direct question as to what he thinks of Georgetown’s chances. He was not par- ticularly optimistic nor was he especially pessimistic. It is Mills’ feeling that the game should be eve‘ry?.hhT that a close, hard foot ball game usually is, and that Georgetown may win if it is at its best. “There is not the least doubt that De- troit is a hard, tough team, and tha we are going up against the real thing,” is the way Mills puts it. “That elevel has everything that any eleven would want. It is big and fast and plays hard, aggressive foot ball. We are going up against a jib saw, but stand a chance to win if we play the finest ball of which we are capable. If we do not do that, we shall stand very little chance. Under any circumstances, though, we ought to put up a real battle and make out of it a great game.” 'EORGETOWN will go into the game without Stanley, the back who was injured in early season practice and was not available for regular use until the game with West Virginia. He was hurt last week against Villanova and the injury did not develop to any serious extent until Monday. It is feared that he has a bit of bone chipped. Stanley played fine foot ball against West Virginia and just as well against Villanova. He will be greatly missed, not only for his general play, but because his fine punting. Donoghue, another back, will not be ready for duty. In fact, Donoghue has turned in his suit. He has been the vic- tim of & succession of minor hurts that | have kept him ailing all year until| finally he decided that the best thing | to do, with his real usefulness for the year ended, was to turn in his suit and devote the time to his school work. Both Georgetown and Detroit use a very similar type of play. Mills follows more closely after the Notre Dame sys- tem, so-called, and in general Gus Dorias, Detroit coach, teaches the same style. Dorias played in the backfield at Notre Dame when Rockne was an end. i is anxious to finish its season with a victory and such an end to the game Saturday would make a brilliant ending to a schedule that has been especially troublesome because of injuries. The Blue and Gray, however, knows what is cut out for it to accom- plish that and will go into the contest with such determination and fighting spirit that Detroit will know it is in a | yeal foot ball game, no matter what | Ecore may result. —— BRAMHAM RE-ELECTED Heads Piedmont Base Ball League | for Seventeenth Year. i DURHAM, N.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, November 26.—Long Island University, which decided a year ago to give up foot ball because of the heavy expense of operating a team, now plans to go right on with the in- tercollegiate game. Only the fact that some games could not be canceled made the university go through with the 1931 schedule, but a new regime proved so successful that a faculty committee yesterday ap- proved the continuation ‘of fcot ball. In making the announcement of the decision, Prof. Theodore W. Gibson, chairman of the Faculty Committee on Athletics, said: “The foot ball team this year, under Coach Clair Bee, has won seven out of eight games and has won the respect of its opponents for its sportsmanlike conduct.

EW YOPK, November 26.— Time-honored rivalries of the gridiron drew foot ball fans throughcut the country to sta- diums today for the “climax"” games of the season. Except in the Midwest, where a four- team charity circus involving the lower-ranking members of the Big Ten held the featured spot, games of long- standing tradition topped the program in every section. Chicago, Towa, Indiana and Iili- nols were scheduled to hook up in an elimination event at Chicago, with the winners of two preliminary contests clashing in a final brief game. Out- side of this “circus” the Marquette- Drake game at Des Moines was the only outstanding contest of the Mid- west papgram. The day's action was scheduled to open in the East with Colgate and Brown resuming their 23-year-old-ri- valry at Providence, R. I, with play starting at 11 a.m. ‘The thirty-eighth struggle between Cornell and Peansylvania, this year two of the East’s leading teams, headed the Eastern program. Two powerful elevens, each defeated only once, carried on a rivalry that began in 1893 and missed 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. AVY conquered Army in their annual foot ball game, 3 to 0. Capt.

The other four were judged physically unfit. About 160 students played this Fall on the various class and school foot ball teams. Twenty-six stu- dents are in the fencing class. The boxing and wrestling squads are twice as large as they were last ear. 2 It_was estimated 81 per cent of the Pall's enrollment, 1,225 students, are participating in the athletio program, Foot Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. Here's one of Nebraska’s success- f:xl running plays from punt forma- ton: ‘The snap is to back (3), who breaks to the right and then cuts downfield. Backs (1 and 2) take out the defensive left end, while guard (6) helps right end (5) box the tackle under attack. This leaves back (4) and guard (7) to make the interference for back (3) after he passes the scrimmage line. Of course, left end (8), after boxing his opponent tackle, cuts through for the safety man. It's a great play, as are all runs from punt formation, when all the assignments are well taken care of.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 26.— Volcing the opinion that the 1932 in- tercollegiate A. A. A. A. track and field meet and the American Olympic trials were scheduled for dates too close to- gether, Avery Brundage, president of the Amateur Athletic Union, said he would recommend a change in date of the collegiate championship. The I. C. A. A. A.

Both Washington elevens are facing their toughest assignments of “the sea- son, in their own opinions. Loyola has probably the strongest team in its his- tory, and North Dakota is rated as a top- | notcher. | In its final contest, Catholic Univer- sity is shooting for an eighth straight victory, but even a defeat today would not take away the fact that this is the brightest year in many respects_in the | grigiron annals of Brookland. ‘But for a fourth-period slump against Boston College in their first game, the Card- inals would be unbeaten to date. 'ORTH DAKOTA'S only loss was to Duquesne, in its last contest, a defeat that was the sharpest sort of upset. The Nodaks, possibly jaded from a long trip, were not up to their standard, and were far below the form they displayed to hold Oregon to.a tie. * George Washington, in its last ap- pearance, overwhelmed Butler Univer- sity in surprising manner, and the Colonials are primed for their greatest effort today. A victory over North Da- kota would be convincing that the Colonijals have “arrived” as a big league team, at any rate as a team strong enough to go through the pretentious schedule lined up for it next year with credit. Two outstanding gridironers ‘&ppear with the visitors. North Dakota has Ralph Pierce, a versatile back, and | Loyola, a passer in Larry Dellaire, who is 'l;me short of a genius chucking the oval. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY is rated an even choice against the team which last week held Holy Cross to a 16-14 score. George Washington, it is reckoned, must play inspired foot ball to beat North Dakota. After today only one other regularly scheduled college game will be played here, Georgetown meeting Detroit Sat- urday at Griffith Stadium in what Yromuu to be a ripsnorter.

NORTHERNS TO DANCE. A dance will be given by the Northern Athletic Club in the Arcade ball room 1ors will face the Freshmen. BY WALTER IME and again, this season, the receiver of a foot ball kick-off has run practically the length of the fleld. Lou Little says there is a reason for it, and it seems as if the Columbia coach was correct. Just as the introduction of the lively base ball made home runs as common as noodles in soup, so kicking off from a_heelmark, rather than a tee, has affected foot ball. That’s his theory. You get practically no high kicks now. Almost all are fast and low, flat kicks. The coaches have figured out that this gives a team a chance to form what gncucnny is a flying wedge, be- fore the tacklers of the kicking team can get down the field. When a tee was used, the ball fre- quently was kicked over the 1 line and had to be returned and kicked again. This slowed u? the game. What of it?
