Buivid Rated Best Back in West : British Golfers Present Puzzle DR, SPEARS LAUDS MARQUETTE STAR Ray Will Be Driving Shaft . of Team That Hopes for Perfect Season. . BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, October 6.—"“The best back in the Middle West is Ray Buivid of Marquette.” That dogmatic and rather startling statement was made by Dr. Clarence W. Spears, the well <nown professor of foot ball, to a group of his fellow coaches in & recent kaffee klutch under the roof of Lynn Wal- dort, the Northwestern generalissimo. “Il go still further and say Buivid 45 one of the very best backs in the country. If there are any better, I'd like to have a look at the phenom- enon,” added the old Dartmouth star, whose coaching peregrinations finally have landed him at the University of ‘Toledo. None of Spears’ listeners disputed his statement, prima facie evidence that Buivid must be very good. There 1s not much this 6 foot, 190-pounder cannot do in the game of foot ball. Tremendously fast and shifty, and a great pace changer, Buivid is a hard blocker, outstanding on defense and a sensational forward passer. He threw 13 touchdown passes last session and it is claimed he can hit & bulls- eye at from 10 to 60 yards. His Hobby Bird Hunting. BUXVID, whose hobby is bird hunt- ing, will be the main spring of the Marquette University team for the third straight season and, if the Golden Avalanche loses any games this Autumn, a number of Milkaukee's good burghers will wade out into Lake Michigan and let go of every- thing. Marquette lost only one game last season and was ranked 13th in national standings. This year the Avalanche hopes to win every game on a schedule that includes some of the better teams of the Middle West and St. Mary’s of California. If the team comes through unbeaten, a five- man backfield must carry the load. Buivid, of course, will be the drive shaft of the backfield, but he will re- ceive capable support from the Guepe twins, Al and Art, Ward Cuff and Ray Sonnenberg. Cuff, the fullback, is a rough and ready fellow who specializes gn blocking and tackling, and the bigger they come the better he likes it. He also does Marquette’s punting and, as a kicker, ranks with the best in the Central States. Coach Can’t Tell Em Apart. HE Guepe twins are so identical b that, after three years, “Tarzan” Taylor, the line coach, still cannot tell which is Al and which is Art. One coach refused the twins in 1933 as too small, so last Fall they paid him ©off by scoring three touchdowns against his team. Art weighs 170 and ‘Al 165, but they are keyed high, very fast and deft in the handling of dateral passes. ‘When one is not loose, the other is mnd last year the brothers scored a total of 85 points for the Avalanche. ‘Art is the quarterback and Al a left half, who always is on the bench when & game starts. Ray Sonnenberg, big and hard, always is the starter, but once the game is well under way Al goes out to turn the attack into high speed. PEEVED STANFORD FLEVEN 10 G0 ON No “‘Strike” Despite Belief Official “Robbed” It of Cougar Triumph. @y the Associated Press. AN FRANCISCO, October 6.— Stanford’s foot ball team will play its schedule, Graduate Manager Al Masters «declared today, despite resentment of players egainst Referee Bobby Morris. Masters termed “ridiculous” a re- ported threat by the team to “strike” as a protest against Morris’ officiating in Washington State’s 14-to-13 victory over Stanford Saturday at Pullman, Wash. Morris is scheduled to officiate in the University of Southern California- Btanford game at Palo Alto October 24. “The players may feel strongly against Morris,” Masters said, “but the notion of & ‘strike’ is ridiculous.” He referred to reports the players had notified Coach Claude E. Thornhill they would not again accept Morris as &n official unless ordered by him to do 2. 5 Referred to Grid Rauler. ASTERS announced he was com- municating on the matter with Herb Dana, Pacific Coast Conference foot ball commissioner, at the sug- gestion of Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Stanford president. Dr. Wilbur said he did not believe there was occasion for a formal pro- test. Conference officials here studied motion pictures of a last-minute goal line defense by Washington State. ‘Three of the officials, who requested their names be withheld, expressed belief the pictures showed that Jake Brigham ot Stanford crossed the Washington line for what would have been a winning touchdown if it had From Boxes to Bleachers popcorn, candy and peanuts man. Colonials Top D. C. Elevens In Williamson Rating Table EORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY'S eleven with a mark of 81 heads the Capital area’s group among the 551 foot ball teams givea ( ; national rating this week by the Williamson System. While they dropped from twenty-first to thirty-eighth position in the table in the course of a week, the Colonials show a rating gain of 2 points. Georgetown and Catholic University, who opened their campaigns only last Saturday, stand forty-fifth and sixty-fourth, with ratings of 79 and 74, respectively. Maryland in a week moved from 116th to 77th with a rating jumping from 57 to 70.5. ©Ohio State, Nebraska, Minnesota and Army, each rated at 96, with 100 as the standard for the “perfect” team, head the array of elevens scattered | throughout the Nation. ‘These ratings represent, respectively, each team’s efficiency of consistent performance to date.

Cincinnati, Tarheels on Foreign Soil. ITH fingers crossed, George- town and Maryland foot ball teams cast questioning eyes at the tasks fate has decreed for them this Saturday on foreign soil with a pair of opponents capable of spoiling early-season hopes now established through impressive starts. To Maryland will be giverf the un- enviable opportunity of trying to avenge itself against a strong North Carolina team at Chapel Hill, one of its two conquerors last Fall, and by the biggest score an Old Line eleven has lost in years, 0-33. Georgetown, similarly, since the first of the season has been regarding its game with Cincinnati as one of the toughest obstacles on its far-from- easy nine-game schedule. The Ohiocans reputedly have their strongest team aiming for the Hoyas. Cincin- nati, though, was rather thoroughly routed by West Virginia 10 days ago, and of the two, Maryland and George- town, the latter has the lesser job. Has Punch in Backfield. UMBO JIM MEADE, the Maryland sophomore who showed impressive- ly against Virginia Tech last Satur- day, definitely has won a place in the Old Liners’ starting backfield, and with Coleman Headley, Charley El- linger and Johnny Gormley, Maryland seems capable of scoring a few touch- downs against any opponent. A generous supply of backs at the Hilltop gives Coach Jack Hagerty an almost unlimited choice in picking his starting ball carriers, and with George- town’s line emulating a stone wall, the outlook is just about all that could be desired. - Although he will not see action against Carolina, Bill Guckeyson, the Terps' greatest scoring threat, is ex- pected to return to the line-up for the Virginia game a week hence. “Gyke,” an all-Southern Conference selection last year, has been on the sidelines with strained muscles in his hip since the season opened, but recent exercises have indicated that he will be ready to start in about 10 days. Blues Also to Travel. GA!MUDI.'I‘ is the third local col- lege whose team will be playing out of town Saturday, the Blues being scheduled to open their season against Bridgewater, at Bridgewater. It will be Gallaudet's first game under the co-coaches, Wally Krug and Orrell Mitchell. Capt. Norman Brown is one of eight veterans returning this year, with Culbertson, Tollefson, Drake, Mrko- brad, Akin, Hoehn and Atwood all having seen service last year.

S. Performances of Barton and McLean. BY W. R. McCALLUM. T'S A funny thing how British golfers can come to this coun- try, lose the Walker Cup and the Curtis Cup and yet get along pretty well in our national championships. They don't seem to be able to win in team matches, but in individual contests they are very nearly as good as our best amateurs, either men or women."” Roland MacKenzle, Congressional pro, has played a lot of golf on both sides of the Atlantic, but even he is puzzled by the way the British can be whipped so consistently in the team matches and yet do so well in our championships. “I understand Jock McLean should have won the men’s amateur cham- pionship two weeks ago and now Pam Barton has won our women’s title,” said Roland. “It doesn't add up, but these are the facts. The American women win the Curtis Cup, the men win the Walker Cup and yet the Brit- ish—the same golfers who play in the team matches—do pretty well in the individual tournaments.” British Are Heartened. ROLAND went even further back, to 1928, the year Phil Perkins went to the final of the American amateur championship at Brae Burn. There he was beaten by Bob Jones by an overwhelming margin, but to get to the final Phil won a flock of matches (rom good golfers, most of them Amer- jcans. “And here this year British players, after losing team matches, have gone to the final in both our thampionships. One won the title and the other was licked by a scanty mar- gin. But it is peculiar that they can win championships and lose team matches.” Roland said there isn't any question that the British, from now on, will be more stout-hearted competitors than ever before. “These two stunts of McLean and Miss Barton are going to make them hard to beat in our future tournaments. They will gain confi- dence and will be able to do better in 113 the Walker Cup soon. 'Tm: isn't any reason in the world,” continued MacKenzie, “why British golfers shouldn't be as good as ours, except for their view- point. They play golf for fun, and don’t practice, you know. Our boys work hard on the game and practice long hours. It shows when they get into stiff competition.” Roland saw ’am Barton when she played at Chevy Chase two years ago. “She must have developed fast to win as impressively as she did,” he said. “She looked to be a good golfer two years ago, but hardly a champion. It won't do British golf a bit of harm to have her win the American title, and it would be a fine thing for the xclume if the men could lift the Walker ARCHERY TITLE TEST IS WON BY D. C.

THE third session of the archery tournament for the championship of the District, Maryland and Vir- ginia will be held at Potomac Park | polo field next Sunday, with winners of last Sunday’s competition set to repeat, Fred Acres, jr, a chemist in the Department of Agriculture, proved the best man archer in the second meet when his score for the double Ameri- can was 1,159. A Baltimorean, Dr. John Baldwin, was second with 1,113, and A. Droppel of the Forest Service third with 1,089. Jean Tenney, a school.teacher from Cumberland, won the women's double American with a 918 score, while two Washington women, Mrs. B. C.

U NOT TAKING - LASALLELIGRTLY Remembers Tie of 2 Years Ago—Contest Only One Here Saturday. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S foot ball team has the local stage all to itself Saturday afternoon when Brookland Stadium becomes the scene of the only college grid game in town, the C. U.-La Salle fray. Although the Cardinals are expect- ing great trouble with the Phila- delphians, the situation is almost identical with that of two years ago when C. U, facing La Salle in its opening game, was held to a 6-6 tie by the visitors, Last year, however, the Orange Bowl champions routed La Salle, 41-7. While Coach Arthur (Dutch) Berg- man will take no chances, the game should give him a last opportunity to get a line on the men whom he will start in the contest he wants to win most, a week from Saturday. Then will come to town the only team that defeated G. U. last year, De Paul of Chicago. Indeed, La Salle appears to be the last “breather” on C. U.s schedule which shows Mississippi, Loyola of New Orleans, West Virginia Wesleyan, | North Carolina State and Western Maryland following the De Paul en- counter. Irish Carroll, C. U’s all-around player, is being groomed for the kicking-off job in future games and from his first attempts seems capable of filling the assignment. Although only in the game a short time last Saturday, Carroll advanced 8, 14 and 24 yards on three occasions and ap- parently is ready for another big year. 'NAVY SEES BARRIER IN VIRGINIA CLASH Scouts Report Saturday Foe Is Formidable—Three Clinch Backfield Jobs. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, October 5.—Return- ing from scouting the Virginia- William and Mary game, Marty Karow and Ted Torgenson, sent by the Navy to watch that contest, re- ported that the Middies are likely to have more trouble with the Cavaliers Saturday than with either William and Mary or Davidson. The Navy reconnoiterers were par- ticularly impressed by the strength of the Virginia line and also reported that it had several good backs. They said that the Navy must be prepared to meet a strong running, as well as passing, attack. According to the records, the meet- ing here Saturday will be the twelfth in a series which started in 1893 and which has been played irregularly since. Pwo games were played in the first year, and each won one. Vire ginia won one other game and one was a tie, the Navy winning eight in all. The teams have met in each of the last three years and Navy win- ning each time. Yesterday, there was light practice following & talk from Head Coach Tom Hamilton on the work in the Davidson game and his plans for the week. Tomorrow the heavy work of preparing for Virginia will begin. Sneed Schmidt, Frank Case and Bob Antrim have clinched places in | the first string backfield, but the war | goes merrily on to determine whether | Charlie Reimann, Bill Ingram or Newell Thomas will be the fourth man. Reimann and Ingram appear slightly ahead and about on even terms. Both are members of the sec~ ond class. Reimann played in his first match against William and Mary, and Ingram owing to injuries, had little work last year. PISTOL BODY PLANNED May Have an Organization Like Trap, Rifie Devotees.
