SPORTS. Navy Sees Better Eleven Than in 1931 : Quanrille Wins D. C. Horseshoe Crown DUTLOOK PLEASING 10 COACH MILLER Material, Though, Is None Too Experienced and Sched- ule Very Difficult. BY H. C. BYRD. ELL, we ought to show some improvement over last year.” In this way, Coach Rip Miller voiced his opinion of prospects for the foot ball team this year at the | Naval Academy. | And inasmuch as the Middies had a | driving, fighting outfit that played with ('?i(h', to itself .lhl‘ouxhout the enure‘ 1931 season, Miller's statement may well be taken as an indication that Navy should be one of the really good | teams of the East. { Lest season Miller succeeded Bill | Ingram, now at California, as head | coach, and Navy people were very well satisfied with what he accomplished. | ‘The biggest achievements of the team were victories over . Princeton and | Pennsylvania. Navy lost to Army, it is | true, in that charity contest at New | York, and under ordinary circumstances | that would be sufficient to blacken a | Navy season. However, the Army game was informal and its result does not eppear in the record of either school. 531 HE 1631 season was looked upon somewhat as a transitory period in _ Navy foot ball, a considerable shift | having been made from the offense used | by Ingram to that installed by Miller. | ‘The present coach is a product of Notre Dame and naturally used that style of | play. That Miller himself is willing to | predict that the team now in training should show considerable improvement over last year should be cause for op- timism 2t Annapolis. “Of course, it 1s too early to tell what kind of a team we shall have,” says Miller, “but, unless I am badly fooled, we ought to turn out a much stronger one than we had last year. That may be going just a little further than I should, as our squad, while big and strong, is green and without the experi- ence necessary to make a really fine eleven. The men are willing, though, and 1t may be they can come through even belter than any of us expect. “One thing in our favor is that at | the academy we have almost ideal con- ditions under which to work. And the | Naval Academy authorities are very co- operative. In fact, if you are going to write a story about us, it would be only giving credit where credit is due if you would just mention that the people down here look upon athietics as part of the educational system and encourage athletics as such. Of course, they do sight of the fundamental pur- pose which the academy is estab- lished, but actually try to build up ath- letics is a way to help serve that pur- pose. “We have a hard schedule, one that ly is just as herd ss we ought are hoping to show well . while a coach may know he should have a stronger team than the year before, no coach can tell wkat the Tesults of games are going to be. We believe we should have a tetter team than last year, that we ought to pl good foot ball. but beyond that guess as to prospects for a Wil team would be just as good as mine. ul ing AVY lost several valuable men, in- cluding Tuttle, a center; Tschirgl and Kirn, halfbacks: but the loss of a few players at Annapolis hardly means so much as at other schools be- cause of the much larger squad, in which most of the men are nearly of the same caliber. Bill Ingram once made the stetement that it did not matter much at Navy if a whole team graduated. as men were constantly coming along to take their places.~ William and Mary visits Annapolis October 1 to open Navy's season. The Indians had the same place on the Middies’ schedule in 1931, and were beaten by two touchdowns to one, with virtually a second string team playing most of the game for Navy. The second contest is with Washington and Lee at Annapolis, which team was not met last season. Then comes Ohio University at Annapolis on October 15. The following week Navy makes its first trip away, to play Princeton. Pennsylvania at Philadelphia is the next cpponent, and following it Colum- bia is to be entertal Foot Ball Tips BY JOE GLASS. NE application of foot bell strat- 8 egy is to,use a play repeatedly in one way and then suddenly vary it. The Notre Dame s] en= ables the utmost perfection of this element of surprise 'because of the tremendous, co-ordinated of the attack developed by Rockne and continued by Anderson. Take the following play, which ‘was Marchmont Schwartz’s greatest ground-gainer last year, and which may be even more effective this sea- s with Mike Koken carrying the 1. No. 4, receiving the ball, fakes® between the enemy left guard and tackle, an effect heightened by the way in which No. 6 blocks in the left guard and Nos. 5 and 7 box in the left tackle. However, No. 4 breaks to the right around end, with No. 1 blocking the enemy left end. No. 3 cuts over to help No. 1, if necessary, or to join No. 2 in pro- viding interference. As described, this play is a great ground-gainer. When, after awhile, the variation is introduced. it is apt to prove disastrous for the opposi- | tion, as it was in Notre Dame's great | 7-6 victory over Army two years ago. Instead of veering toward the right, Schwartz dashed through the open- ing between guard and tackle (as | shown by the dotted line in the dia- gram) and ran 55 yards to a touch- down. The effective blocking and boxing of Nos. 5, 6 and 7, and the end feint of Nos. 1. 2 and 3, which drew the left side of Army’'s second- ary defense out of position, permit- ted this. But the real factcr of suc- cess was the canniness of the Notre Dame quarterback, Carideo, who deduced from the actions of the Army secondary defense men they were expecting another run around end, and caught them flat-footed on | a muddy, slippery field. | (Copyright. 1932) || Gridiron Gossip NLESS more injuries are forth- coming or those already on the shelf recover, the 1932 edition of the George Washington foot ¥ ball team probably will take the field against Washington and Lee next Sat- urday as follows: Capt.

ALO ALTO, Calif., September 17. —Foot ball's battle cry at Stan- ford_University this year as | usual, will be “Watch Warner,” | but the old master of the gridiron re- | serves his opinion with the admonition | “Keep your feet on the brakes.” | Glenn Scobey Warner stands on the | threshold of his thirty-ninth scason as | a coach. He is a throw-back to the idsyu of the flying wedge. In 1894 he | was captain of Cornell and also helped coach the team. He has been planning, “mlnklng and building since that time. | With the known Warner genius for equipping teams with dazzling plays in | mind, enthusiastic followers have seized upon’ a rather remarkable backfield combination to predict the Stanford | gridiron creation of 1932 will be one of | rare versatility and consequently one | that will have to be considered. VERY member of this year's back- field unit has g triple threat rating. But there are also holes to be plugged in the line, especially at the tackle positions. Without a strong forward wall the intricate Warner plays usually are smothered at their inception. Coach Warner therefore merely de- scribes the situation as “hopeful.” | Stanford will seek coast conference {and intersectional laurels with an of- fense known as “formation A,” original formation of three introduced by Coach | Warner during the last few years. It | has been modified to some extent, but differs mainly in that the formation is more compact than previously. WITH a lighter and faster backfield nd each man a capable pass thrower or snatcher the Stanford team s expected to go in strongly for an aerial game this season. Lateral passes have figured in Warner's style of play for some time. Stanford’s only intersectional _clash this season will be with Pittsburgh, and will mark the return of Coach Warner to his old stamping grounds.

EW YORK, September 16.—One Western coach, when he ad- dressed his varsity squad, N assembled for the first time yesterday, spoke pretty definitely about the use of hands on defense. “Go ahead,” he said in substance, “and use your hands any way that will enable you to get through or fend off a blocker. Only—be sure that you do not deal punishing blows At least this is almost exactly what he said if he lived up to his intentions as outlined to the writer a few days ago. This_matter of laying on of hands, especially by defensive linemen, may or may not prove to be a very troublesome one to the officials. It will depend upon their attitude and in large measure, of course, it will depend upon the coach- ing of the forwards. 'OU cannot get any unanimity of opinion among coaches and officials about this new rule. But you do get a majority who believe the game will do very well if officials consistently exercise judgment about hand action. Jow any official who is minded rigid- 1y to enforce the new rule will give any defense a lot cf trouble.

NEII, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, September 17.—The “Return of Ruth,” a legendary, almost historic drama nowa- days and apparently needing only unanimous opinion that the great one is through to start a revival, was a magnificent thing at its inception in 1923. Relegated to the ball players' bone- yard, dubbed the “busted phenomenon,” the Babe suddenly braced. A new spirit, inspired by mild, kindly lttle Miller Huggins, suddenly swept over the entire | Yankee club. An illy-disciplined mob cf tempera- mental stars, each playing his own game, was transformed into a well ordered, sincere, closely-knit team, with Ruth, the contrite, showing the 'way. Beaten off by the Giants in two suc- cessive world serles, humiliated, the Yankees came back to sweep the Amer- jcan League again in 1923, with Ruth ' hitting .393, greatest average he ever compiied, along with 41 home runs. Not the Same Ruth. Into the third straight serles with| the Giants swept the Yankees, and this time Ruth was the deadly spearhead. He rallied such mighty pitchers as Herb Pennock, Waite Hoyt, S8am Jones and Bob Shawkey, and his slugging mates Bob Meusel, Joe Dugan, Wally Pipp, Whitey Witt and Aaron Ward. Ruth hit three home runs, a triple, & double and two singles in the six games | the Yankees needed to batter down the | Giants, four games to two. Two of his | heme ‘runs, the first he ever hit in | world serles play, came in the second game of the series’and won it for Herb Pennock, 4 to 2. His distance smashes opened his assault on world series hit- | ting records. No one before him had hit two homers in successive times at bat for three home runs in one series. Subdued the Scoffers. Today his home run record is four for one series, made against the St. Louts Cardinals in 1926, and equaled by Lou Gehrig against the Cards in 1928. The manner of Ruth’s hcme-run hit. ting subdued the scoffers who had waved farewell to the Babe in 1922 They said then that John McGraw knew the big fellow's weaknesses; that Ruth could not hit a low inside curve or a change of pace. In the second game, off Hughle Mc- Quillan, the Babe smashed a low inside curve into the stands. His next time at bat, against Jack Bentley, he wafted a slow ball cut of the park. McGraw's Last Laugh. Again in this series, however, the first $1.000,000 post-season classic In base ball’s history, the master mind of the Giants found Ruth's recond weakness. The first always has been & base on bails, something the Giant hurlers fed him liberally after the second game. Leading Pennock 4 to 1, pitching beautifully, Art Nehf suddenly weak- ened in the eighth inning. Two singles and two walks filled the bases and forced in a run. “Rosy” Ryan took Nehf's place and walked Joe Dugan, forcing in the second run to cut the Giants’ lead to 4 to 3. Ruth was up with Ryan curved over two strikes. McGraw, on the bench. saw the Babs's anxiety, read rightly that he'd not let another ball pass him without taking a cut. Deliberately he ordered Ryan to heave the mext one into the dirt. Rasy did. The Babe took a mighty swing. Back to the bench he trudged. Meusel, the next batter, singled to save the day. Tt was the last triumph of McGrawian mind over Ruthian matter. They never met again on world series flelds. Mat Matches ie Maurer, Michigan, By the Assocliated Press.

In a six-game battle that held a large gallery for more than two hours last night on the Eckington Recreation Center courts, Quan- trille defeated the sensation of the Washington division of The Star’'s Metropolitan champion- ships, Bill Minard, and became the fourth pitcher to hold the title in as many years.

In a round robin he trimmed Oren Atwocd and Ed Pearce. The fourth eligible, Roy Wilson, was absent from the city. Minard got away winging with a 50- 35 decision, but success was short-lived. Quantrille won the next three games, dropped the fifth and won the sixth, but it wasn't so easy as it reads. Twice the youngster came from far behind to take games and in only cne did he have easy railing. This was the third, which he won, 50 to 18, in 50 tosses. overcame a lead of 31 to 11 to win the fourth and at one time in the deciding game was behind 9 to 31. In the clincher Quantrille was at his best. He threw 20 ringers in the last 36 shoes, including 6 doubles. Endurance was an important factor and the outcome was according to form. It was figured that Minard had to win quickly or not at all, what with his 54 years against Quantrille’s 20. | The youngster maintained his graceful swing all the way: his poise, in fact, improved toward the late stages while it was aparent the 2l:-pound irons ‘were becoming heavy in the hands of Minard.
