THOMAS 1 the big men from ege foot ball metropolitan and they le against reorge Wash- and = squads Washington wouldn't balance the Alabama eleven C ington, Catholic U Georgetown will bat in Griffith Stadium. Today the size of the Crimson Tide was the paramount topic of scores of foot ball folk, many of them coaches, who saw the Dixie giants go through an enthusiastic workout yesterday in Griffith Stadium Somebody said the line would aver- sge 205 from end end, that the backfield would go 190 a man or bet- ter. If this was exaggeration, the eye deceived. On the field at the time were the captains of the three teams to oppose the Alabamans—Mush Du- bofsky of Georgetown, Frank Blackis- tone of George Washington and Buss Sheary of Catholic University—the last named appointed for this game alone. The three are accounted falr-sized gridders in these parts, but among the Alabamans they appeared as runts. EPRESENTATIVES of Georgetown, G. W. and C. U. took a long look and wondered what to do about the three-way tussle tomorrow, in which the Crimson Tide will meet each in a 20-minute game. It came back to some that Bob Neyland, Tennessec coach, observed after the Voluntesrs had taken a trimming last year from almost the same Alabama line-up that will play tomorrow “They didn't bother to open holes in our line. They just pushed our whole team back.” After looking over the Alabamans all of whom played through the 1930 season feated and only eight of whom were members of this year's eleven, a logical view is that only for- ward passes and speed will be effective against them tomorrow. Inasmuch as Catholic University has the best pass- ing attack and the finest running | back, in Tom Whelan, the Cards would appear to have the best chance of suc- cess. . Thelr problem would seem to be holding of the 'Bama forwards to en- able the passer to function. F the Crimson Tide were in its 1930 | trim there would be not the slightest | doubt of the outcome of all thne’ | a s ersity tle tomorr: tle to games. The big question mark is Alabama’s condition. Most of its play- | ers have been out of competition since last New Year day, but all have been coaching or otherwise been active. Most famous of the squad are Fred Sington, undisputed all-America guard in 1930, and Foots Clement, who cap- talned the Rose Bowl champlons, but most colorful of the Crimson-jerseyed giants is Pooley Hubert, whom many foot ball authorities will tell you without qualification is the greatest backfield player of the South and has been for some years. When Alabama beat Wash- ington in a Rose Bowl game several seasons back it was & 54-yard pass by Hubert that helped a lot to turn the trick. His forte is passing, but he's & ball-toting deraon, t0o. HE other 'Bamas call Hubert “the Old Man” Pooley is far beyond grid starring age. In fact, becoming bald.

BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, December 11.—| N The East's long foot ball season comes to an end| tomorrow with the \hirty-‘ second clash between Army and Navy. | The two service academies meet | not as regular season rivals, but| in an extra-added feature on the | common ground of charity. For! the second time in as many years | the receipts will go to the fund for the unemployed. Pre-game estimates indicate a crowd of 80,000 in the Yankee Stadium and receipts in excess of $400,000 Although the athletic “break” be- tween the two schools is just as wide now as it was in December, 1927, when the Army declined to adopt the three- year eligibility rule at the Navy's de- mand, the fact remains that they are natural rivals meeting in a game which both are primed to win. RMY'’S record is by far the more | impressive, but most. experts figure the Cadets “pointed” for the Notre Dame game, which they won 12-0, and perhaps have lost that fine edge that made them look so impressive against the Ramblers | Navy, on the other hand, has ad- vanced ‘slowly toward the peak of con- dition. The Tars gave ample warning of trouble for the Army when they upset Penn last week, 6-0, on a long pass from Lou Kim to Joe Tschirgi. Weather prospects were for rain to- night, making it almost certain that | the game would be played on a slip- | pery fleld. If so, more than ever the | result probably will turn on a “break” in favor of either. RMY this season has beaten Ohio Northern, Knox, Michigan State, | Louisiana State, Ursinus, Colorado College and Notre Dame, tied Yale and been beaten by Harvard and Pittsburgh Navy has won from Willlam and Mary, Delaware, Wooster, Princeton and Penn tied West Virginia Wesleyan and lost to Notre Dame, Maryland, Southern Methodist and Ohio State Maneuvers of the corps of Cadets and regiment of Midshipmen will pre- cede the game. which is to start at‘ 1:10 pm.

This be. cause the Trofans are stil in the swing of their season, rearing still under the fmpulse of that tonic- giving victory over Notre Dame.

Even when training for the con- test is resumed there are social di- versions and romantic 1nterfsu which California coaches always have found it difficult to combat. Since and including 1926, four Southern elevens have come , to Pasadena with but a single intent and a solitary purpose—the winning of a ball game. They have come with all the blood and fire inherent in sons of Dixle, inspired beyond reckoning by a cause.

Catholic Univ rsity gets the middle 20 minutes, which should find the ex-gridders from the Southland reaching a peak, while George Washington University, getting the starting a signment, should find the visitors stiff, muscle-bound, yet working them- selves into condition. Despite the rule that permits Coacl Wade and Thomas of tnp:rALzhamaa(?:E cus to send in fresh men at any moment in the three-chunk griddle fair, these boys who hopped into town yesterday are a year away from foot ball and will | feel the lack of training. So much that the local elevens may keep them ragged if they are sent in to keep the game moving at top speed. Given & muddy play which to perform the 'Bama troupe should be more formidable.

BETTERS SWIM MARKS | Three A. A. U. Free-Style Records Excelled by Crabbe. LOS ANGELES, December 11 (#).— Clarence (Buster) Crabbe, Southern California junior, bettered three Ameri- can A. A. U. free-style swimming rec- | ords 1in one race last night. | A holder of half a dozen world ree- | ords, Crabbe cracked three marks from 600 yards to 800 yards set in 1928 by Ray Ruddy. He swam the 600 yards in 7:10.2 minutes, 8.2 seconds better than the present mark; the 700 yards in 8:27.8, eight-tenths of a second to the good, and the 800 yards in 9:42, beyond Ruddy’s best time. Crabbe swam on the annual sports medley program of the university and | the Los Angeles Athletic Club. | the hole” without a pair showing but | Colleges, Schools and Clubs Enter when attempted by Notre Dame | team with much better material than Navy. But despite this fact, | that is just as well known at Navy as at Army, Navy is not in the ieast worried over the outcome. The actual truth of the situation is that Navy has an unbounded faith in its team and feels it has pretty close to an even chance. During November Navy has played far better foot ball than it played in October, and its fine games against Notre Dame and South- ern Methodist have given it a confi- | | dence that could have been gained in no other way. | Against Notre Dame the Sailors played brilliant foot ball, although by some sports writers they were not given | the credit they deserved. They should | have whipped Southern Methodist, and the defeat by two touchdowns to one in that game was something of a fluke. | And last week Navy whipped a Penn- | sylvania eleven that Cornell, one of the greatest elevens of the East, had an | | exceedingly difficult afternoon defeating and which in a charity game a few days ago it was not able to beat at all. IN brilliant record and its fine achieve- ment in whipping Notre Dame, Navy has some real foundation for its appar- | ently unwarranted optimism. Navy has | a much bigger and more powerful eleven than it generally is thought to have. | Its backfleld is not as heavy as it should be to match its line, but if Army thinks it will have a walkaway with | tomorrow’s contest, then it may get | a rude jolt. On the face of Army's victory over Notre Dame one ordinarily would be Jjustified in picking it to beat Navy with ease, but Navy does not feel that way. And, knowing its own power, Navy seems to be somewhat in the position of the stud player who has an ace in other words, notwithstanding Army’s | | | | | who has just followed along in the betting. | Down at Annapolis yesterday a man | connected with Navy foot ball ex- pressed the out-and-out opinion that Navy expects far better things tomor- row than the public and sports writers expect for it. “We believe we are in far better shape for the game tomorrow than most people and look for the hardest kind of a battle,” said this man, “and I don't mind‘expressing that opinion. Mind you, I'm not saying that we have an even chance to win, but that we do have & chance. We know something of what the Army has and know what we have, and still we believe that Army is due for something of a surprise. We also are fully familiar with the the Notre Dame system of offense and | defense, and we know what a great ball carrier Stecker is, but, even with all that, we still have greater conr- dence in our team than anybody seems to think we should have. Wait until pened in foot ball, and may happen again. Maybe nof again tomorrow, then again mayb A to the Navy foot ball team, which has nothing to do with the Army game, but may shed something of a sidelight on Navy’s optimism. While the writer was in Chicago the first half of this week he talked with two Notre ND now another matter in regard Dame men who sat on the bench at|= the Navy-Notre Dame game in Balti- more in November, the game that re-| sulted in a 20-to-0 victory for Notre Dame and in which Notre Dame was sald by several sports writers to have “pulled its punch.” In other words, to, have let the Navy down easily. With- out discussing the pro and con of that, | the writer is inclined to let the state- | ment of the Notre Dame men stand on | its own merits, as he believes it to be the actual situation that developed in that game. Here is what the Notre Dame man said: “No greater injustice ever was done | any foot ball team than that done the Navy by several sports writers who in- timated in their storles that we let the Navy off easily and that had we so de- sired we could have whipped Navy by 50 points. Nothing ever was further from actual fact. In the first place, the Navy played fine foot ball against us, and, in the second, we Jjust were not | what we have been in'the previous part of the season. We began to slip in that game. We came back somewhat in the game with Southern California, but not enough, and then against Army we simply could not produce. It was a | combination of our slipping and Navy's | brilliant work that gave Navy its good | game against us. Swartz came out of the game simply because he was not functioning, and when he came to the bench he told me that he simply could not go and could not make anything work right. It was a shame that some | stories were written that reflected on the fine work Navy did, as they were entirely unjust and unappreciative of a fine Navy -team, a splendid Navy | Spirly and some really brilliant Navy | play, especially on the defense.” l SWIM MEET TONIGHT Washington, Catholic University, Ces: | tral High School, Washington Sw{;nrnlng | Club and other schools and clubs will | compete in a swimming meet tonight in | the Ambassador Hotel pool, starting at | 8:15 o'clock. | There will be nine events on the pro- gram, which is sanctioned by the Dis- trict A.

Catholic University in St. John's will be meeting a team which, if anywhere near its strength of recent seasons, is a match for almost any quint in the East, if not in the country.
