BPORTS. Coach Hardell’s Tears No Criterion of Caliber PRE-HIGH DEFEATS MEANINGLESS, T00 Seen as a Sure Centender for Title in Spite of Green Material. BY BURTON S. HAWKINS. F COURSE, Tech High's tear- tul torch singer and foot ball coach, “Hap” Hardell, who can warble heart-rending blues songs about his Maroon ma- chines, claims the present Teach team is the worst ever to represent that school, but then he's inclined to look on the dark side of things while turn- ing out championship elevens. Tech's pre-series performances this year, two losses against one victory, can be tossed out as easily as one wrestier flips another from the ring. Hardell has done more with green outfits than Cardini has done with a deck of cards. With the exception of 1933, when Central halted its titular achieve- ments, Tech has reigned scholastically supreme in the local grid world since 1928, coming through to annex cham- pionships despite the dire predictions of its pessimistic pigskin tutor. Has Only Two Veterans. ONLY two regulars of last season’s graduation-riddled eleven re- ported to Hardell when Tech opened training camp at Maryland Univer- sity this Fall, and those young men now are wondering whether they will trot out with the starting team when the Maroon clashes with Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the initial interhigh game Tuesday. That might be taken as an indica- tion that the pair of veterans are not ‘measuring up to their capabilities, but it's “Hap's” way of keeping a wide- open fight for every berth on the team. When this state of uncertainty exists, with no position “sewed up,” the boys will battle like gamecocks in an effort to catch a favorable glance from the coach. Expert blocking and hard tackling, characteristic of past Tech teams, has been woefully weak in the present edition. Its passing attack has won two games for the opposition, yet ‘Hardell's hopefuls probably will throw fear into the enemy when they start heaving in the series. Some Leading Aspirants. STANDOUT candidates for starting berths are Ted King and John ‘Whightman, ends; “Whitey” Raulin end Gerald Davis, tackles; Americo Natella and Capt. Gilbert Schroth, guards; Moe Schulman, center; Will Hart, quarterback: Dick Leisert and Lewis Nowlin, halfbacks, and Francis Crimmins, fullback. Players who are waging a merry scrap to oust these men include Johnny Kramer and Walter Connelly, ends; John Burton and Joe Oeh- mann, tackles; “Dutch” Preller and Bricefield, guards; “Red” Clay, *&r: Stam Wells, quarterback; Lee ’ ‘hols, Carl Sachs, “Reds” Fones and “Sauer” Kroutil, halfbacks, and Henry “Ripper” Rassier and Frank Cronell, fullbacks. - Reserves include Leon Wiseman, ‘Whitey Tolzman, Ken Chick, Kerby Jones, John Williamson, Ivy Belote, Jack Belote, Elmer Andrews, John Zearfoss, Norm Hodges, Buddy Hope, Nick Zuras, Harold Welch, Char- lev Bonuccelli, Harry Newby, Dick Winfleld, Bud Williams, Ted 'Vial, Francis Mullin and Charlie Um- baugham. Everett Ford is managing the Techites, with Eddie Smith as his assistant. ‘They're not going to enter the series an odds-on favorite to cop the title. Central, Eastern and Roosevelt are capable of upsets, but they’ll have to defeat & team which has been well coached—an eleven which will be slert and make the breaks.

Six-Man Foot Ball Will Go On View in Baltimore Friday HE salvation of foot ball coaches who return to the campus in the Fall and find that there are only half a @ozen veterans ready for the season has been found; at least they say so out in Nebraska and now in Baltimore. It seems that a group of small Ne- braska high schools listened to Stephen E. Epler of Beatrice Junior High, at Beatrice, Nebr., who outlined the structure of his brain child and thus became the prime mover in this modification of the game. Now, down at Boys’ Latin School in Baltimore, C. J. O'Connor, the athletic director, ’s scheme for the 1443 P StNW. NO.80%E ball has been received from center. ‘The playing fleld for this game is | 80 yards long and 40 wide. The rules | provide that a forward pass may be made from any place behind the line of scrimmage (as in professional foot ball) and that the back receiving me' ball from the center must pass the | ball backward at least two yards to some other back before the play starts. Violation of this rule means loss of down. If, however, some alert end or tackle breezes through and tackles the back before he has a chance to make the 2-yard pass, the play is legal.

The fish were caught trolling over the sea grass in shallow water at high tide. Last Thursday Dr. Barker, fishing alone, ran into & school of rock and landed 62. This catch was landed with the use of & Pfleuger “Last Word” lure. Rock fish are numerous in all sec- tions this Fall and some real sport trolling for them is at hand. There is good bass fishing right at our back door. The Washington Chan- nel is furnishing excitement for some of the anglers, bass weighing 3 and 4 pounds being landed. Bernard (Fats) Harding, who rarely misses a flood tide after working hours, fishing at all hours of the night, nearly always re- turns with two or three of these game- sters. Monday evening he had his usual luck, landing several. The larg- est weighed 3% pounds.

There the Blues will regain the services of Dan Long, junior half- back, and Will Rogers, freshman tackle, both of whom were out with injuries against Baltimore. A concentration on the passing game will be stressed during the next few days by Hughes, the bristling little mentor who radiates most of his optimism to his men. Especially en- couraging is the kicking of Clyde Hoffmeister, who showed great im- provement after a rather unsatisface tory showing in the opening game. In fact, the Blues feel that if they can make a good showing against Shenandoah all should be forgiven for the Baltimore debacle.

C.—Wallace Wade, Duke coach, said he was sacrificing a great runner when he made a block- ing back out of Jule Ward last season, and this year's results seem to have proved he knew what he was talking about. Ward has averaged better than 13 yards every time he has carried the ball, making touchdown dashes of 58 and 59 yards. PRINCETON, N. J—The business of preparing for a foot ball game has come a long way since Princeton and Rutgers played the first intercol- legiate game in 1869. Col.

Unless an explosion results, the din of which would resound throughout local school- | boy ranks, Devitt should win as it pleases. For Devitt has regained Adam Zin- kievich, one of the school’s crashing est backs since its power days of the late 20s, and Zinkievich is back to bolster a backfield already steeped in might and speed. There never has been any question as to the ability of Joe Nugent, Len Askin and Frank Granier to function as a grounde gaining force. Now, with Zinkievich back, Devit§ has hopes of going through the rest of | its season undefeated.
