Bolsters Defense, Presents Strongest Offense of Season Friday. HE dope may favor Tulsa's| Golden Hurricane to flatten | George Washington Colonials | Friday night in Griffith su;-; dium, but before that happens the invaders will have to smash the strongest defense G. W. has had this season and stop the most potent at- tack the Buff has boasted since its 19-to-6 victory over Auburn in 1933. Indications are that George Wash-‘ ington thus will be fortified for its| sixth annual clash with the colorful | crew from the Nation's oil capital. “Possum Jim" Pixlee and his coach- ing aides, still trying might and main | o get the utmost out of a campaign | spattered with reverses, have made | some line-up changes since the 53- | 10 7 rout of Davis Elkins that are cal- | culated to bring further improvement. | Chief among them and one which figures to strengthen both defense and offense is the insertion of Frank Kava- lier in the right halfback position, which has had many occupants since the start of the season. Kavalier, who finished last year as regular fullback and whom injuries have forced into the background for most of this srason, is the best line-backer and one of the best blockers on the Colonial #quad. Kavalier a Fighter. NOT only in the D. and E. victory, but during this week’s drills Kava- Jier has flashed his old-time defensive qualities that include a keen percep- tion and the ability to tackle hard when he reaches the spot of the enemy's attack. In addition he has shown, as in last Friday's win, a sensational brand of pass-catching— especially welcomed now that the Colonials are pass conscious—while as always he is doing a particularly effec- tive job of clearing the path of the ball carrier. Incidentally Kavalier's presence in a& game means just that much more to G. W.'s will to win, for the peppery Bohemian lad is an indomitable fighter who goes at top speed regardless of the acore. With Kavalier at right half. Herb Reeves, G. W.'s most improved player this year, returns to fullback, where “Nig” Tihila performed last week. | ‘Tihila, meanwhile, goes back to the | sidelines ready for relief duty, in which role he no doubt will see plenty of action, Trinastitch at Guard. G!ORGE TRINASTICH, another of the right halfbacks, will start at right guard against Tulsa, and Sid XKolker gives up his left guard assign- ment to move over to right tackle in place of Dale Prather. Ted Cotting- ham, sophomore. will take the left guard post, while Prather, who is somewhat below par physically, enters the reserve ranks. All of these changes involve the purpose of improving G. W.’s blocking. Trinastitch, ordinarily a back, should increase the effectiveness of down- field blocking, which, with G. W. using the spread formation, is more important now than ever before. De- fensively the revamping figures to add reserve strength, with Prather ready to relieve either Capt. Harry Deming or Kolker, and with Trinastitch avail- able to back up the line, while Center Red Rathjen moves his 200 pounds to join the first line of defense. Trina- #titch and Kavalier in the first line of secondary defense probably form the deadliest tackling pair G. W. has sta- tioned there all season. HAMILTON LESSENS MIDDIES’ GRID TOIL Devotes Drill to Running Attack Against Dummies While Rest- ing Three Linemen. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, November 13.—Head Coach Tom Hamilton is taking his Navy charges through the whole gamut of foot ball this week as he prepares for Columbia’s invasion Sat; urday. He is going sparingly on scrimmaging, as he wishes to avoid accidents so late in the season, but he is completely refurnishing the team. Yesterday was devoted exclusively to the running attack, with nothing more lively than blocking dummies as opponents. The plays were worked out with speed and smoothness and all of the varsity backs were drilled in their work. Bill Ingram and Charley Reimann, the latter brought up from B squad only last week, were given special at- tention. Both are good passers, and the coach is grooming them in the running plays so as to make them generally useful. . It was decided to give three of the linemen who are not in perfect con- dition a little rest so Capt. Lou Rob- ertshaw, Rivers Morrell and Ray Vogel, a reserve guard, went to the hospital Sunday. They are expected on the fleld later in the week. Rob- ertshaw is troubled with boils and has played in recent games swathed in bandages. His collection Saturday included 10 on one arm and others generally distributed. Morrell is hav- ing some trouble with his hand and Vogel has a cold. UNBEATEN TEAM PLAYS Maryland A. C.

The same team that put up a great scrap against New only to lose by 7-6, probably will start for Georgetwon against Manhattan, with the backfield composed of Tommy | Keating, quarterback; Wally Herron and Bob Nolan, halves and Joe Meglen, fullback, and Al Snyder and Dave Noonan on the flanks; Cy Cummings and Clem Stralka at the tackles, and| Johnny Frank and Lew Shuker in guard, with Red Hardy at center. Hoyas Rely on Passes. RAIN or shine, the Hoyas were to have a long dummy scrimmage this afternoon with the varsity op- posing the freshmen using Manhat- tan plays. Hagerty is concentrating on defense, Georgetown's hope of victory lies in a passing attack. Next to no ground has been gained through the Jasper line this season, but Chick Meehan'’s lads have yet to show they can cope successfully with a strong aerial of- fense, and this the Hoyas appear to have. Gabe Murphy, graduate manager of Hilltop athletics, announced today that tickets for the Georgetown- Maryland game, to be played Novem- ber 23 at Griffith Stadium. may be purchased at Spalding's, 717 Four- teenth street northwest, and at the athletic offices of Georgetown and Maryland. Prices are $1.10 for gen- eral admission, $1.65 for reserved seats and $2.20 for upper box seats. I PRO HOCKEY | By the Associated Press. National League.

REVANPING " | Homecoming Finds Bergman Team at Full Strength for First Time. OR the first time this season the Catholic University foot ball team will take the field with full strength when the Car- dinals clash with Western Maryland 'n the ninth annual homecoming at- traction at Griffith Stadium Saturday at'2 o'clock. A maning battle is listed between the frosh squads of the two schools in the C. U.

Schmarr is as |good a defensive player as Mulligan, but George has a shade on the pass | | grabbing department. | The fact that Irish Carroll is ready | {0.0 play without a brace or any other | contraption raises the hopes of the | ic, U. team. As Carroll goes, so goes | the team, it appears. He was unable to play against De Paul and C. U. lost its only game of the season. Hold Reunion Luncheon.

C.—They're expecting to break the Southern record for foot ball crowds here when Duke meets the unbeaten North Carolina Tarheels Saturday. The advance sale already is more than 35,000. The high mark for the South stands at 41,000, made by Georgia Tech and Georgia in 1927. DETROIT.—There doesn’t seem to be any reason for Detroit's old grads worrying about next year's team.

That was what your correspondent was told by two Tiger counselors shortly after the Harvard game. “Our policy ties us up,” said one of them. “If we suddenly agreed to play a Rose Bowl game, after declin- ing very firmly in 1933, we'd look like back-biters and publicity hounds. ‘We'd be accused of coyness and things like that. So we stay out of Cali- fornia.” Princeton. naturally, is at the top of the Rose Bowl invitation list. Just below her is Minne- sota. Both these dignified institutiens have been asked to the party in the past and both pleaded headaches. The situation being the same now as then, I suspect that both plahts will turn down the bid again, leaving the field open for a school which richly de- serves a crack at the New Year day festival—North Carolina. Tarheels Big, Fast. IT’S possible that Princeton and Min- nesota carry more prestige than the Tarheels. They've been consistent winners for three seasons, while the gentlemen from Chapel Hill are just coming into their own. But North Carolina will give the West Coast all the action it wants. The team is big and® fast, with power on the ground and skill in the stratosphere, The restoration on Chapel Hill ‘began with the arrival there last year of Carl G. Snavely. This gray-haired and square-chin- ned- individual was educated at Leb- anon Valley College, which is not exactly the equivalent of a season’s pass to the hall of fame. It wasn't until he reached Bucknell as head coach in 1927 that Mr. Snavely be- gan to make the boys sit up and ask for an introduction. Bucknell is the school which pro- duced the great Christopher Mathew- son, but in the years preceding Mr. Snavely’s advent the foot ball team was only fair. It played against big league opposition, and as often as not it lost. Snavely lost 3 games out of 10 in 1927. He dropped 2 out of 10 in 1928 and 1929 and 2 out of 9 in 1930. In 1931 he was undefeated. His only bad year was 1932, North Carolina, meanwhile, n Rose Bowl Battle. LARDNE! ived with a bang. Give Mr. Snavely a hand—he has everything else, in- cluding kickers passers, runners, blockers and tacklers. His schedule this Autumn was no puff ball, but Snavely com- piled successive crushing vie- tories over Tennessee, Maryland, Davidson (tougher than it sounds), Georgia Tech and North Carolina State. In the course of a couple of breath- ing spells he also put the heat on ‘Wake Forest and V. M. L. Just now Duke is raising its ugly head in his path, but Mr. Snavely is expected to kick it aside and forge on toward California with all the zeal of a forty- niner. Two Surprises for Bears. CALIPORNIA certainly should slip him a bid if he beats Duke de- cisively. For one thing, clubs of the section from Pennsylvania down through Georgia seldom get a chance at the Rose Bowl. For another thing, when they do get the chance they usu- ally give a good account of them- selves. ‘Washington and Jefferson of Penn- sylvania, with Greasy Neale at the helm, went out to meet the Golden Bears on New Year day, 1922. The critics anticipated a slaughter, for California had one of those monder teams, featuring the great Brick Mul- ler. But Coach Neale anticipated nothing of the kind. He played 11 men throughout the game, earned a scoreless tie and snarled at the ver- dict. “We was robbed,” said Coach Neale, several years before Joe Jacobs even thought of the phrase. The last invasion from the sector occurred in 1929. Georgia Tech was the candidate that year, a Tech team undefeated and untied in nine starts, with a victory over Notre Dame to its credit and an All-America named :etgr Pund I:u?!: center of its line. o one ever orget that particu- lar Rose Bowl game. California was the victim, & to 7, but the victim in chief was a nice young man by the name of Roy Riegels, who raced down the field the wrong way and carried the ball across his own goal line. In view of the trouble they've had from that section of the country, the Californians may choose to overlook North Carolina in the bidding. I hope not. The Tarheels are gentle- men in every sense of the word, with clean fingernails and refined table manners. The only social error they can commit now is to take a dive to Duke, and I think they know better than that.

Let me tell you about a game that draws 20,000.- 000 paying customers in a season ang in a land where there are less than | half as many to draw from.” Our scout explained at once that by English foot ball he did not mean rugby, which, despite its affinity to English sport, has not approached the popularity of association foot ball or sec- cer. “Call it soccer, if you like,” said O. E. S, “but it is the original foot ball. Its very roots are the syllables of its name. The foot means the ball, con- stantly back and forth across the field and the length of it. There is no touching the ball with the hands, ex- cept by the goal keeper, although there is a great deal of touching of the ball by the head, and very dexterous touch- ing, too. But then I suppose even you | Americans are aware of the principles of soccer.” O. E. S. Is Insistent. 'HE scout looked disdainfully across at me and put his hands firmly on my shoulders, as if to prevent my leaving. X “I hope T am not boring you.” he continued, “but I really must tell you about the real foot ball. “Naturally, everybody plays foot ball in England, Wales, Scotland and the Irish Free State, but the big teams are the league teams. They are com- posed of professionals who have been farmed in much the same way the St. Louis Cardinals farm their bright young ball players. If the profession- als hear of a great foot baller in a school or a university, they go after him. Very often they don’t get him, because professional athletes are al- most declasse in Great Britain. In tennis, for instance, the big pro tour- nament is given a couple of para- graphs and the Wimbledon matches several columns. If the league man- ager manages to sign one of these school stars, he sends him out for seasoning, unless the foot baller is a sort of Mel Ott, and in that case he is apt to be a national hero before the year is over.
