Today the Nationals were a .581 outfit and only two games cut of first place in the race. The West has done more than its share to hold back the Capital clan from the lead.

And two members of the “wonder team” of more than a decade ago, which spread Centre College's fame far and wide on foot ball gridirons, are devising a new bag of tricks in preparation for the most ambitious schedule for the “Praying Colonels” since the days of Bo McMillan, Red Roberts et al. Ed Kubale, who played center for the golden-clad warriors in 1821, the | year they trimmed Harvard 6 to 0, is coach of the Centre team which has just finished its Kubale has announced appointment of Norris Armstrong, defensive halfback, who was captain of the 1921 team, &s backfield coach. Just as “Uncle Charlie” Moran, who coached the Centre Colonels in their heyday, perfected a “lockstep shift” to dismay the opposition and mystify the spectators, & new play called the “Cen- tre shuffle,” which promises to be equally as deceiptive, emerged from the Spring drills under Kubale's guidance. Kubale naturally will not divulge the intricacies of his new play, but says it involves a general shuffling of the team as it comes out of a huddle. It is comparable to dealing from the bottom of the deck, Kubale says, and | gives speedy backs more opportunities | to break away.
