Also Dutch Bergman today was looking into the matter of arranging & Thanksgiving day game here with Duquesne, which surprised the grid- | {ron world Saturday by beating Pitts- burgh. Duquesne’s victory brought back into focus one Clipper Smith, who some will remember, assisted Tom Mills when he coached at Georgetown. Smith and Bergman are fellow alumni, both having starred at Notre Dame. Bergman had ample reason to be pleased with the performance of kis team Saturday in hurdling De Paul, 12-7, and some of the stalwarts in the line who missed the big print gratified him mightily. De Paul rather would face no more centers like Joe Yan- chulis, who cut off many & Demon yard with smashing tackles." Vic Sochon’s play at guard, on offense and defense, may have won him a regular berth. Capt. Hermie Schmarr played approximately all-America foot ball at end and the lads he leads are grateful for Hermie's recovery of a fumbled lateral that may have saved the game. Dixie Walker's generalship was above criticism and his punting and pass catching rounded out an excellent Job. Irish Carroll's improvement over his performance against La Salle was such as to think of it almost in the | nature of a comeback. Bill Adamaitis’ | pitching when accuracy meant touch- downs was artistry, The De Paul line coach, Benny Connors, said the C. U was the strongest team met by the Demons this year. Violets Make Quick Strides. ‘ N New York University was L beaten, 60 to 0, by Ohio State, to start the season, Georgetown thought the edge was off its annual scrap with the Violets.

But, also, it was a threat egainst the Hilltoppers' clean slate. } With Quarterback Tom Keating & | dominant figure, Georgetown had less difficulty beating Bucknell, 19-0, than expected, and, all in all, Coach Jack Hagerty was satisfled with his squad. But one fault was noticeable. Some | of the flinkmen weren't so energetic | in covering punts. It will be remem- bered that Georgetown was beaten by N. Y. U. last year because of the same deficiency. A punt was returned 50 yards for a touchdown and the extra point settled the issue, 7-6. Same Old Guckeyson. [ YED-IN-THE-WOOL foot ball fans whs keep close tab on all of Wash- ington’s teams took sharp note of Bii | Guckeyson's performance against Vir. | ginia. Maryland until Saturday had done fairly well without this brilliant back, but its achievement of downing Virginia, 21-0, might have been much more difficult without him, although the entire Old Line team functioned 50 well that to single out “stars” would seem an injustice, All season, while Guckeyson nursed & torn hip muscle, the grid addicts have thought of versatile Bill in con- nection with the Maryland-George- town game. Up until a short time be- fore the Virginia contest it was not known whether he would play this year. Coach Frank Dobson tested Guckeyson in scrimmage last wéek, found him whole again and used him in moderation against the Cavaliers. He was the same old Bill Guckeyson, doing things without effort that many enother good back strains for. His re- turn to action bodes ill for George- town, which lost to Maryland—and Guckeyson—last year. ‘The Terp-Hoya game will be the only direct competition between major ‘Washington teams this season, but a heap of interest is centered in the comparative showings of George Wash- ington and Catholic University against Mississippi, which the Colonials played to a scoreless tie, albeit some still are arguing the rain issue. ‘Which brings us back to Maryland.

Up Against It. GWRGE WASHINGTON, in facing Wake Forest, is in a most unde- sirable spot. To tie Mississippi meant prestige for the Colonials. To beat Arkansas zoomed it.

ICHMOND, Va., October 19.— Five contests within the fam- ily were scheduled for South- ern Conference members this week end, while Duke and North Caro- iina, the circuit leaders, continued | their warffre against foreign oppos- sition. The Blue Devils had little time to gloat over the 19-6 triumph over Georgia Tech with the Tennessee Vols next on the docket at Knoxville. Carolina’s Tarheels, who narrowly escaped defeat in a 14-13 game against New York University, had a much more difficult assignment with Tulane to be met at New Orleans. South Carolina and Clemson will start the fireworks on Thursday in their annual State fair classic at Columbia. The clash will mark the thirty-fourth renewal of this colorful spectacle.

Aver since Little left for Columbia, the Hovas have bucked adversity. While their own forces sagged in caliber a bald-headed man from Missouri, Jim Pixlee, blew into town and began the rebirth of George Washington foot ball amid fireworks, fancy uniforms and big-time schedules. Over at Catholic University the able Dutch Bergman took command and all at once the Cardinals began to finish season after season with a record that could compare with almost any of them. And now, after lurking in the back- ground, Georgetown seems ready to claim as much of the spotlight as ever. A couple seasons back the Hoyas grabbed a swivel-hipped halfback from the New York Giants to coach and, therein, they made what now un- questionably ranks with the smartest | moves & local gridiron corporation | ever engineered. All Gotham Fears Him, { SI’I‘I‘ING out at Griffith Stadium | Saturday you marveled a little at | what a well-coached, quick-strikin; outfit was Georgetown. When he wore | Hilltop spangles, Jack Hagerty had a | knack of shaking himself loose and | knifing down the fleld for long gains. That he has been successful in impart- ing this knack to the kids he coaches is undoubted. Furthermore, right under our noses, Hagerty may have taken national lead- | ership in advancing the art of flipping | lateral passes—modified basket ball throws off end runs, off forward passes, off punts, off anything as long as Georgetown has the ball. Munching on one of Jake Ruppert’s rolls earlier in the month, when they were running off the world series in New York, You were punching the bag with a New York sports writer and he asked of Hagerty., “I've been making the rounds,” he said. “Over at Columbia and Man- hattan and New York University, whenever coaches get together and chew the fat, they almost always bring up Hagerty. Do you know there isn't a more feared coach in the East up here than Hagerty? ‘They’re all scared of his laterals, his wide-open play. Colgate? Andy Kerr hasn’t anything of Jack. We're still talking about the lateral George- town pulled against New York U, last year. Seven men—four backs, an end, a tackle and a center—had their hands on the ball in that one play.” They're Young as They Come. SATB.UDAY‘S game with Bucknell really was the first chance you got to see Georgetown this year. The Hoyas, of course, played here earlier, but that was against an outclassed Delaware team. Not until Saturday did they And It’s All Been Done Without Mirrors. begin to cut loose. And Bucknell, big and fairly fast, was bewildered once the Georgetown offense rolled. The Bisons were too busy looking for the sleight-of-hand stuff to muster any respectable attack of their own. It is a young team that Hag- erty is sponsoring. too. There are no full-muscled, matured men with heavy beards playing for him. He thinks a player does his best playing in his junior year and this theory is well re- flected. Well over half of his regular team | are juniors, numbering among them | Tommy Keating, Snyder, Petroskey, Shukker, Hardy, Stadler, Cavadine, | Stralka, Barabas, Noonan and Tahaan. Only two seniors are reguiars—Full- back Duff and Tackle Vaccaro. Joe Keegin, Valiquette, Nee, Fleming, | Moulin and a flock of others are only sophs. | The peak age of the squad is 22 and there are only five this old. The average age is 20. Five of the flock— Keating, Keegin, Nee, Cummings and Hank Gibbins—are local boys, Keating Key to Offense. AND in Keating the one-time Hoya “ ™ backfield star seems to have come | up with something. While most critics were looking to Maryland's Guckeyson, | Catholic’s Irish Carroll, and G. W.'s Vic Sampson to succeed Tuffy Lee- mans, they overlooked Keating. This practice is not likely to carry much further. As a ball carrier he needs no handi- cap from any of them. In 41 tries this year he has gained 369 yards. As a passer the former Georgetown Prep athlete, who weighs only 158, comes pretty close to tops. As an unerring, if not long, punter, he will kick out- side on the enemy’s 5 and 10 yard line with uncanny monotony. But it is as a field general that he probably is most valuable to Georgetown. Keating exempli- fies Hagerty's style of play. He gambles, but gambles smartly. Around him revolves George- town’s system of laterals and forwards. Saturday, after seven straight line | plunges had carried the ball down to | Bucknell's 7-yard line, Tommy crossed up the Bisons by throwing a pass. It was a perfect peg to Al Snyder, all by his lonesome, but the end dropped it. Undaunted, Keating also called for a pass on the next play, this time letting Keegin throw it while the Bisons | charged him. Maury Nee grabbed the ball for a touchdown. They say his generalship the week earlier, when Georgetown beat Cin- cinnati, 7-0, was a thing of beauty. With the game a scoreless tie and only 45 seconds to play, Keating found the ball on Cincinnati’s 2-yard line, With the stop watch against him, he called for two thrusts at the line, but for mno gain. Cincinnati’s defense was sucked in. On the next play Keating lateraled to Dooley for the only score. Hagerty liked that.

THE SPORTLIGHT Coach of Upset Panthers Calls Turn on Rousing Performance of Duquesne. BY GRANTLAND RICE. HECKING up the largest week- ( end shock each Monday is beginning to take up more and more time. Princeton's defeat by Pennsylvania was no heavy jolt, as Penn’s all-around strength has been known for some time. The main upset came when Duquesne rolled back one of the best-looking Pittsburgh teams the East has seen in some time. But even this was no great shock to Jock Sutherland. Just a week ago, after the Ohio State game, we were talk- ing with Sutherland about his chance against Notre Dame and Nebraska. ‘The doctor turned with a frown. “Wait a minute,” he said. “Never mind about Notre Dame and Nebraska. We have to play Duquesne next week, and don't let any one try to tell you Duquesne is a mark for anybody—I don’t care who they are.” Recalling the big, fast line and the able backs that Pitt tossed upon the field against Ohio State, there is no longer any question about Duquesne's strength. It took class to beat Pitt, and Clipper Smith’s young men had it in copious quantities. The 1936 Yale Model.

One of Saturday's Yale-Navy fea- tures was the fine play of Bill In-| | gram, Clint Frank and Larry Kelley, | | who were all over the Baltimore turf. | Navy was keyed up just a trifie too | much—just a bit too tenge—and this | cost her the game. But Yale has| becten three teams that no one else has beaten, and that, in this | present foot ball swirl, is no light | accomplishment —even with Dart- mouth and Princeton still on ahead. | “We have a good team,” Pond said, “but we need a resting spot. The bunch are pretty well worn down. IN THE Pennsylvania-Princeton turn Penn had packed one good, tough game under her belt where Princeton | hadn’t been crowded. This can make a big difference. That Yale affair | whipped Penn into the right mental | state. The same thing happened to Princeton in her last defeat by Yale. In the meanwhile, Minnesota keeps | rambling along with 20 straight on her ticket. Her next two games are against Purdue and Northwestern, and Noble Kizer of Purdue will have everything in order to protect the old Notre Dame-Rockne record of 15 years ago. This is one game that Purdue would rather win above all | others—while Minnesota carries the | burden of a long winning march, which always is a mental burden, With the old record already tied and & new record only one game away, the main problem will be to diagnose Minnesota’s nervous system in the next test. Purdue is at least equipped with quite enough to give any one trouble— even Minnesota’s men of might and speed. Duke, Tulane, Auburn and L. 8. U. now have the lead in the South, with Duke still unbeaten and untied and & fairly clear road ahead, with Tennes- see and North Carolina her main op- ponents. The Duke and Tuline mar- gins both were much larger than any one figured—Tulane’s especially so against a Colgate defense. It might be mentioned also that Notre Dame still is moving along, picking up speed each week. Remov- ing Pittsburgh next Saturday is ane other matter in the wake of that Duquesne shock. Winning Predictions. Straight foot ball, see what I mean? Q. I think so, Mr. Winch. But you knew Duquesne would win, didn’t you? A. I had the tip two weeks ago. I often say that you want to watch those little clubs all the time, because they're the ones that pull the upsets. But if Sutherland had of played it right— gQ What about Northwestern beat- ing Ohio State, Mr. Winch? Did that surprise you? NOT a bit. As a matter of fact, I was looking for that one. T could of told Schmidt last week that he was a sucker to play his secondary the way he against a team like North- western. What he needed in there was a 6-4-1 defense. He made his mistake when he figgered- Q. Army certainly didn't have much trouble with Harvard. did they? A. No, but I didn't figger they would. | Harlow don't give his boys enough fundamental instructions. Now, when I was playiog foot ball— Q. Whereabouts did you play, Mr. Winch? A. I beg pardon? Q. I was wondering Whereabouts you played foot ball. One of the Big Ten colleges, wasn't it? A. As a matter of fact, they had such tough eligibility rules in my day, counselor, that I didn't get to try for the varsity at all. I was never much of a student, ha, ha. Q. Isee. Ha, ha. Where Princeton Failed. A In those days, counselor, We < didn't spend much time with our noses in books. Too much red blood in us, counselor. I guess maybe you shouldn't of brought that up. Q. I guess not, Mr. Winch. A. But what I was saying, these coaches nowadays don't pay enough attention to the fundamentals. Look at Princeton. They had the ball on Penn's goal line most of the day, but they couldn't stick it across. Now, if Crisler had of give ’em just one simple scoring play in there— Q. But they've always been able to score before this, haven't they? A. Yeah, but they don't have the material in there this year. That's where Crisler went wrong, overesti- mating his material. Q. What about Georgia Tech tak- ing that licking from Duke? A. Tech was overrated. I could of told you two weeks ago they were overrated. The best team in the South— Q. Minnesota seems to keep right on winning. A. Yes, but that's just a matter of material. Bierman and what a wizard he is, but where would that guy be without his material? Why, I could go in there and coach that club and win. It's a matter of material. they get off calling this Bierman a wizard. Q. There really isn't much fo this coaching job, outside of material, is there, Mr. Winch? A. Well, now, that's what some of these dumb alumni say, but that's be- cause they don't know nothing about the coaching racket. These alumni are always talking about what the coach should of done and what he shouldn't of done and shooting their mouth off. I'd like to see some of those fellas get in there and try to coach themselves. They'd find out that the coach hasn't got any bed of roses in there. Question Out of Order. ‘WHO do you like in the Fordham- 8t. Mary's game this week, Mr. Winch? A. I beg pardon? That's next Sat- urday, isn't it? Q. I believe so. A. Listen, counselor, I'm & Monday morning quarterback, see? A special- ist, see, not a general practitioner, I know my rights.

I see, Mr. Winch. I shouldn’t have asked. I apologize. A. That's all right, but T just wanted to let you know where I stood, see? T'll be seeing you next Monday.
