THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, SPORTS. * A—15 Army Eleven Headed Places With ‘“‘Bigger and Better” Squad NEEDS ONLY PILOT AND SNAPPERBACK “l Feel Pretty Good About Prospects,” Says Coach. Reserves Strong. By the Associated Pres: EST POINT, N. Y., Septem- ber 22.—Clear the track. ‘The United States Army is on the march again. Give Lieut. Gar Davidson a real good quarterback and a better than fair center and he’ll show you a West Point foot ball team that will go places this season. Replacing John Clifford in the mid- dle of the line and Bill Grohs at the key position in the backfield loom as the two major problems as the gray- thatched Davidson sends an “A" squad of 38 big foot ballers through their paces here these brisk Fall days. “I feel very good about prospects,” said Coach Davidson. “Players like Clifford and Grohs can't be plucked off trees, and I hardly expect to un- cover two men as good as they were. Still, I feel we have the makings of a very fair team. “For one thing, we're bigger. For another thing, we have more reserves. ‘This latter factor may make our ball team. They'll be green at the start, but they'll see enough action to know what it’s all about by the time we start down the home stretch.” Graduations Don’t Worry Him. IRADUATIONS cost the Army no less than seven members of last year’s starting line-up, but that doesn’t worry Davidson much. The men he is counting on this year—center and quarterback excepted—are just as good, he thinks, as his 1935 regulars. He has eight letter men available for line duty and three in the back- fleld. Not all of them were starters last season, but all saw plenty of ac- tion under fire. It looks to be a first team composed entirely of third and fourth year men. 4 Davidson plans to alternate Maurice Preston and Bill Hipps at left end, with Bill Stromberg at the other flank. John Eriksen and Jim Isbell will get the call at tackle. Clifford’s successor at center is undecided, but right now Ed Howell of Margate City, N. J., has the inside track. Nils Oh- | man, Gordon Kimbrell and Sam Smith will fight it out for the two | guard positions. “Monk” Meyer is the only 1935 tarter available for back-fleld duty. He'll be at left half. The other backs will be recruited from last year's re- serves and the “B" squad. BOB KASPER, a husky junior, is being groomed to fill Grohs' post at quarter. Kopcsak will start at right half and fullback. “Give those lads a game or two to get used to each other and we'll be all right,” said Davidson. "By mid- season our reserves should know their way around, too. I feel very good about the 1936 Cadets.” Generally speaking, the Army tutor Jooks for a more open e this year, although except for the lateral the West Point eleven mostly will adhere to power plays. “The showing made by those two great Texas teams—Texas Christian and Southern Methodist—is bound to be felt this year,” said Davidson. “They play & very open game and their style is sure to be copied in all sec- tions. Therefore, you can look for more profuse use of both forwards and * laterals.” ‘The schedule: October 3—Washington: and Lee; 10—Columbia at New York; 17—Har- vard at Cambridge; 24—Springfleld; 31—Colgate; November 7—Muhlen- berg; 14—Notre Dame at New York; 21—Hobart; 28—Navy at Philadel- phia.

PHILLIPS, JR. social institution, perhaps in- be puzzling for untold seasons over the recent frolics of Frank Gould’s What Have You. ‘This phenomenal son of Tryster- Prodigy was rated as a great mud horse after a Spring victory at United Hunts in the rain, but seemed determined not to hit & lick in the dry season, having flatly refused to run in the Piping Rock Cup at Rocka- way & fortnight ago. ‘Then at the Foxcatcher races last week, although his jockey was on guard for exactly such a trick, What Have You whirled in the opposite direction when the others broke away from the barrier. One might think that Pete Reid would have been convinced it was absolutely no use trying to get a race out of the horse, but he went plugging along in the ruck for a couple of miles and gradually worked up the big brute’s interest in running. I can’t imagine what it was that Pete said or did, but he not only ocured the sulks, he aroused What Have You to the point where a killing stretch drive just suited his taste. WlLLIAM DU PONT'S shrewd guess that American steeplechase fans would pay good money to see top horses race over a well-planned and sensational course is working out just the way the master of Foxcatcher Farms would like.

By 2:15 on Saturday every seat in the $2 stands was gone and Mr. du Pont’s $250,000 gam- ble with sporting taste was be- ginning to pay off.

Primarily interested in furthering the sailing interests of the Capital which have been greater this year than ever before, the Skipper is plan- ning to make the undertaking well worth the time of those who fall in with his suggestion. As planned, the course would pro- ceed from Hains Point down the Po- tomac and up Chesapeake Bay to Deale, Md., Herring Bay. Boats would be brought back by automo- bile. Champ will arrange for prizes and | a cup for the winner. The date of the marathon would come some time after the President’s Cup regatta, but interested skippers are asked to get in touch with the Skipper at once. Letters should be mailed to him care of Station WISV in the Earle Building and radio inter- views and discussions will follow. No limitation is placed upon entrants except that they must be over 18 years of age.
