HILE about all left of the \ ;s} 1931 foot ball seazon| may b2 embodied in re- grets and condolences, congratulations and pride—and hopes—the Navy and Marylard must buckle down this week to prepare for two of the hardesi games they have played this year, The former meets Pennsylvania at Philadelphia and the latter West- ern Maryland at Baltimore. Navy really is working for its game with Army November 1z. It desires to win from Pennsylvania, if it can, but, 1t, to & much greater extent, wishes for success agsinst West Point. The Mid- shipmen would be willing to sacrifice the Penn e 10 tmes over to trim the Soldier eleven, especizily since the latter took the measure of Noire Dame. | Actually, thes> two games mark the high spots of Navy’s seascn, and, while the foot ball year virtually is ended, for Navy the ‘two big tests remain.

YANKEE ATHLETES GRD FOR OLYMPICS Plans for Tryouts in Nearly All of 27 Sports Are Laid Early. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 30.—A meeting of the Olymplz Com- mittee, to 12y plans for partici- pation of the various United States teams in the 27 sports on the 1932 Olympic program, has revealed that preparations are well under way. In nearly every sport, plans have been laid for tryouts to select the com- petitors. The third Olympic Winter games, at Lake Placid, N. Y., are still months away and the Summer meet at Los Angeles does mot start until July 30, 1932, ¢ An equestrian squad of 12 men al- ready is in California training for the three difficult events on next Summer’s program. The gymnasts will not have their final tryouts until July and the preliminary trials are scheduled to come some time next Spri speed skating squad, of the ‘Winter sports teems to get into action, was scheduled to start practice at Bear Mountain, N.

Preli- mi tryouts for field hockey are to be held at the Germantown Cricket Club, Philadelphia, next Sunday. The national have had more left for its two final ef- | in forts. But after all, this is only a second guess, and it may be that Notre Dame Just had.to take two whippings, just as all other teams do, soon or late. CETON wound up with an over- whelming defcat by Yale what perhaps hes been the worst grid- fron season it has had since it played that memorable game with Rutgers more than half a century ago. The 'hfm lost more games e¢nd then were defeated by Yale by the biggest score by which a Princton eleven ever lost. However, this is not the last foct bail season Princeton will go through, end alumni of the university may feel sure that better things are just ahezd.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 30.— Bome of thg finest foot ball coaches in the land were sitting about a banquet table, chat- ting informally about their favorite sport, and the subject at the moment was the lateral pass, its possibilities for the future. “It has been & part of the game from the very start of foot ball,” said Amos Alonzo Stagg, Chicago's white-haired “old man.” Glenn Scobey Warner of Stanford nodded.

ALE started a second team against the Tigers in the second half, with Clem at one half and Mac at fullback. All they did was toss that foot ball back and forth in so startling & series of laterals that in a few min- utes Mac had scored two touchdowns. Then Mac came out and Clem soon followed him. “You'll hear from that pair next year,” said Stevens. “They have a sys- tem all tireir own and it's quite a story. ‘What they really are is a pair of Hai vard backs. “Last year, when we were getting ready for the Harvard game, Mac and Clem were drafted from the scrubs to toss laterals such as the Crimson uses. They're very fast. One weighs 157 pounds, the other 158, and Mac is a year the older.

Prior to the game, 'tis sald, Patsy Donovan and Buck Grier, managers of the Tival elevens, after sizing up the murky sky and soggy fleld, agreed that the game would be played only as an exhibition. Rob Roy Mackey, league president, however, let it be known after the contest that it was official and would stand as such, which means that Mohawks win the pennant.

HE surest thing about the Presi- dent’s Cup game in Griffith Sta- dium Saturday afternoon be- tween the Quantico Marines and the Coast Guard is that it will be a royal battle between two equally deter- mined and dogged elevens. Both are coming to the game loaded for bear and will count their seasons either suc- cessful or not, despite their past im- pressive records, upon the outcome ‘of their contest here, d On paper, at least, the Coast Guard |Muskingum Bears rate as the favorite in Saturday’s game despite their last two defeats by | the Leathernecks. The old adage, that it is best to string along with the cham- pion, therefore doesn't hold good. This season the Bears have beaten every- thing they have faced, allowing their opponents only two touchdowns in the string of eight victories, Thus it is that the Bears not only occupy & niche with the very few un- beaten and untied teams in ‘the coun- try, but also possess one of the best de- fensive records of the year, too. Another important factor in rating the Bears a favorite to upset the Leath- ernecks is the fact that they have a team of tried veterans, many of whom played here with them before in their two previous attempts to lift the cup. On'the other hand, the Leathernecks have had their team of past seasons disrupted, due to the decision to dis- band the all-Marine team last year. A number of the best players thus were commissioned to different stations in other parts of the country or abroad.
