Almost the entire | tforward wall will be manned by ex- | freshmen who are big and highly- rated and the backfield likewise is inexperienced.” The magazine is chockful of in-| teresting dope on the nation’s gird | teams and players and features hun- | dreds of snappy pictures. For gen- | eral illustration, George Washington players, with names omitted, have been used extensively, STORE CLERK TOPS. U. 5. SKEET SHOOT him “Tuffy.” It wasn't logical, they de- | cided, for an Alphonse to hit so fast, fight =0 hard, be s0 tough to handle. “Young Alphonse Emil Leemans has | changed some since those kid days. He has climbed to a height of almost 6 feet, his shoulders have broadened and his muscle-hard weight has in- creased to a total of 188 pounds. a senior at George Washington Uni- versity, but time and change have not diluted the qualities of personality that won him his youthful nickname. He's still the tough guy, fast hitting and hard fighting, though the chalk- barred gridiron is his wider arena now. * “Tuffy Leemans is a halfback, the keyman of a team that rapidly is rising to foot ball prominence. A varsity performer since his sophomore year, he is entering upon his third season of big-time competition at the peak of his powers. In ability, in performance, in competitive attitude, he must be ranked among the top backs of the Nation. “Leemans is not a specialist—no prima donna who exalts a single talent. He deserves the much-maligned name of ‘all-around’ back, for he has proven his ability in every phase of play. He runs hard and deceptively, though not a jack-rabbiting speedster. He can plunge the line, sweep the ends, knows the tricks of the broken field. In '34 he averaged 5 yards a try against first-rate opposition. His punting is consistent if not sensation- al, a 40-yard carry from scrimmage being his usual kick. He is a cool and | canny passer whose tosses hit the | mark. Great on Defense, Too. “BUT his offensive abilities, great as they are, are overshadowed sometimes by his sensational playing on the defense. Operating at the safety-man post, he never has been eluded in a broken field by the oppos- ing runner. Not once in '34 did an enemy pass connect at or beyond his position. His defensive instincts are uncanny. “Add to all this that he's a 60- minute battler—still the Tough Guy who can take it as well as hand it out, who can turn on that extra ounce of speed when the chips are down—and you'll see why Allouez, Wis., produced Ernie Nevers, may have a second foot ball great to rank beside him.” So much for Leemans. About Vic Willis: “Base ball fans of 30 years ago still may conjure up, at mention of the name of Vic Willis, a lank and towering pitcher whose smoke ball zipped across the plate looking like a petit pois divorced from a lamb chop. It is Victor Gasaway Willis, jr., however, of whom we speak—a young fellow who will be doing a great job of end play at College Park, Md, | this Fall. Willis' Career Unusual. *"T'0 APPROPRIATE an appropriate wisecrack, junior is a block off the old chip. For while Vic, sr., was only a skinny sapling and a big league pitcher, the youngster is a 197- pound Sandow, a star pitcher (win- ning six out of seven games last Spring), the best basket ball center in the South Atlantic States and as good an end as the most exacting coach could ask. “His foot ball career has been a| curious thing. As a freshman he was hurt almost before the coach had | learned his name. He was out of &chool the next Fall semester but won varsity fame in basket ball in the Winter and as a pitcher in the Spring. “Last September he had no inten- tion of trying foot ball, but was pre- vailed to come out. By October he had won a varsity berth and at sea- | son's end was an easy choice for All- Bouthern. “His all-around ability, coupled with an amazing adroitness in pass reception, won recognition wherever Maryland played. University of Indiana players declared him the best end they faced all season and they had encountered Minnesota and other leaders of the Big Ten. “‘We never got him out of the play,’ the Hoosiers said. Willis cer- tainly is the best end Maryland has seen since Bill Supplee of a decade ago. He is as tall as his father, 6 feet 5, and is every inch an ath- lete. He is used especially on short pnus over the line of scrimmage. It ‘15 a deadly attack for Willis never 'misses if the ball gets within his tremendous reach.” G. W. Seen at Peak. GEORG!

For the most part, Blaha, Baldwin, Mann and Andy formed the back field and worked with considerable power. Blaha is a Californian who can run with the ball, pass and punt.

NNAPOLIS, August 31.—Next Thursday 86 candidates for the Navy varsity foot ball team will assemble here for the formal beginning of the practice season. Exactly half of this number was recruited from the strong plebe squad of last season. While the material is abundant and strong physically, most of it lacks ex- perience. However, Army is in almost exactly the same situation, so that the game of November 30 in Philadelphia has some elements of a coaches’ battle. The organization of the varsity coaching staff is the same as last year except that Wes Byng will take the place of Oscar Hagberg as mentor of the ends, Comdr. John H. Brown again is director of foot ball, with Tom Hamilton as head coach, Johnny Wilson as backfield coach and Rip Miller and Johnny Cross as line coaches.

There will be eight Saturday after- noons on which one or more games will be played, while six contests will take place on Friday nights.

Alabama is | due to invade Griffith Stadium on the second Saturday of the schedule—Oc- tober 5—and, believe it or not, the Colonials nurse something stronger than hope that they’ll beat the team that swamped Stanford in the Rose Bowl last New Year day. So if it's hard work that will put them over | that day, the coaches already have plans laid. It will be an optimistic bunch, to say the least, that Pixlee inspects to- morrow morning. Many of the lads | reported here yesterday ahead of time | and as one talked of little except the Alabama game. Never before, Pixlee observed, has a G. W. foot ball squad seemed as eager to get going as this one. Perhaps some of their enthu- siasm can be attributed to the recent statement of a Rose Bowl official who revealed that G. W. is possible mate- rial for one of the grid dramas staged annually in Pasadena. Must Furnish Attack. PIXLEE however, won't be thinking | of the Rose Bowl.

He's going to point for the first tough game first, and then the others as they come. And the first thing he must do is put together a smooth- working machine. He realizes that an attack that sput- ters, as did G. W.’s in big moments last year, might not even get by Emory | and Henry, which opens the sched- ule September 27.
