STAN, 1 OOT BALL'S tendency to go razzle-dazzle to a greater degree than ever before has done any- | thing but dim the spotlight on | the ball carriers this season, and there | 1s no exception to the rule in Wash- | ington. Now that Catholic University’s Irish Carroll seemingly has struck his | stride, as indicated by reports from the Southland, arguments are waxing warm as to the relative merits of | Georgetown’s Tom Keating, Mary- | land’s Bill Guckeyson, George Wash- ington’s Vic Sampson and the afore- mentioned Carrcll. The discussions | promise to be secondary in interest | and heat only to those involving the | merits of the District's “big four” | elevens themselves. ! But consider, if you please, in these current moments when local foot ball {s at a comparative standstill, with most of the week’s campaigning to be held on the road, the jobs that have been turned out by Washington's line coaches who are even more obscure than the linemen themselves. Foot ball still has a place for good linemen. Up in New York last Saturday Jack | Hagerty's youthful Georgetown eleven | was scored upon for the first time | this season. Delaware, Cincinnati and Bucknell threw their respective offen- xive forces against the Hoya line in three previous battles and were shut out. In Gotham the Hilltoppers en- countered a great line in New York University's. Only a few weeks ago the Violets were routed by Ohio State, | 60 to 0, but all observers, from Mal Stevens to the veriest Buckeye disciple, agreed on one point and that was that New York U. had as good a line as| Ohio State’s. It was not through the forward wall that Ohio struck so hard and often. | Terps' Line Comes Along. EORGETOWN'S line did not out- play N. Y. U.s. On the contrary it was outplayed, but to gain a 7-7 tie the Violets were forced to strike | from the air. A 24-yard pas§ in the final quarter was the medium by which they became the first pigskin warriors to cross Georgetown's goal. Certainly | a team that holds four opponents to geven points, and those coming from a pass, need not apologize for its line. Whenever Maryland’s prospects were discussed before the curtain was raised last month the critics shook their heads and said that if Frank Dobson could develop a line he might have a team that would go places. He had fellows to carry the mail— fellows like Guckeyson and Headley, Ellinger and Meade—but the line was | a problem. Today, in view of the records, it doesn’t seem to be so much | of a problem. Second only to George- | town's is the Terrapin linemen’s list | of achievements. Five times the Terps have faced the | Kick-off. St. John's couldn't score. Neither could V. P. I, Virginia and Syracuse. The 14 points scored against Maryland were compiled by North Carolina’s crack outfit, which, until last week, was undefeated. C. U.'s Defense Least Impressive. GEORGE WASHINGTON lost a flock of dependable linemen. There was some doubt as to the Co- Jonials’ ability to check the attacks of Ole Miss, Arkansas, Wake Forest, etc. The answer, after five games, is s total of 18 points scored by the | opposition. Rare was the local grid “expert” who, in pre-season estimates, did not i 1 rank Catholic University’s line as | tops. There are those who today, even in the face of the poorest record of any of the “big four,” still will| maintain that, with the chips on the table, the Yanchulises, Anthanovages, etc., will rise to any occasion. At any rate, even the disappointing Car- | dinals have allowed only 31 points to | be scored on them in four games. The total for the four major Wash- ington teams bears out any praise the linemen may inherit. The 7 points | scored against Georgetown and the 14 agajnst Maryland makes 21. George ‘Washington's 18 boosts the total to | 39 and the 31 points scored against | Catholic makes for a grand sum of 70 points tallied against the District’s cream of the crop in 18 games. This is an average of less than | four points per game, less than two safeties and approximately half a touchdown per 60 minutes. It is little wonder, then, that Georgetown, Maryland, George Washington and Catholic University, among them, showed a composite record of 14 vic- tories, 2 losses and 2 ties. It takes fleet backs to compile a record like this but, in addition, it takes good lines. Mat Matches By the Associated Press. ¥ CAMDEN, N.

A month ago 116th in standing with a rating of 57, the Terps in the current table are ‘56th, with a rating of 78. Their victory over Syracuse last Saturday jumped them five places in standing and increased their rating figure by two. Georgetown was the only other team of the Capital area to gain in the ratings. It moved from 65th to 63d place with an advance from 75 to 76.2. George Washington, despite its last-minute win over Wake Forest, fell from 46th to 47th, with a rating decrease from 81.7 to 81.6. Catholic U., last week 76th, with a rating of 717, now stands 8lst at 71.3. American U. fell back from 518th to 532d, with its rating dropping from 239 to 235. Gallaudet is among the more than 50 teams omitted from the current table because of lack of space. Minnesota, Tulane, Louisiana State, Washington, Auburn, Army and Duke remain in the top 10, but Purdue, Duquesne and Alabama fell out. Their places have been taken by Nebraska, Pitt and Marquette. Under the Williamson system a team does not go up, down or stand still as it wins, loses or draws each week. The system rates teams in eight classes and the rating for a game depends on a team's own class, the class of its oppcnent and within certain carefully established limits on the score differ- ence in the game The season’s rating to date is the sum of the ratings per game divided by the number of games. These ratings represent respectively each team'’s efficiency of consistent performance. They do not always indicate a direct gauge of the possible strength of each team. Each rating in the table below is the current average of the game ratings for each respective team. The figures in the right-hand column are the more important. The listing figures in the left-hand column are merely for con- venience in giving the fractional differences in order. There were 36 upsets against the Williamson system predictions last week, the majority in minor circles. The consistency efficiency of the system for the week was 853 per cent which gives a season percentage of 87.3. This week’s predictions will be published in The Star next Friday. ‘The ratings: 0 Perfect team # MurravAss 1.6 Edmond T.

Tech. 10R Butier U._ Few Line-up Shifts Likely for Saturday’s Battle With Oldest Rival. NNAPOLIS, October 27.—The | foot ball series between Navy A and Pennsylvania was born in 1888, but will reach its ma- jority with the game of next Saturday in Philadelphia. The explanation is simple. The teams have frequently | missed years and will play their twenty-first game Saturday. Pennsylvania is Navy's oldest rival with which it still has foot ball reia- tions. The first Army game was in 1890 and the series is the closest. Pennsylvania has won 10 games, Navy 9 and one has been a draw. It is expecied that two red-hot | teams will meet. The Navy has out- | | rushed and outpassed both Yale and Princeton and lost to both. Penn- | sylvania has lost the last three games | with Navy and has not crossed its goal line. Navy hopes to break into | the winning column again and Penn | | is determined to reverse the results of l the last three meetings. Drills Start Today. YESTERDAY ‘Tom Hamilton, Nl\'yi | head coach, gave his charges a complete rest, not a varsity man don- ning his foot ball togs. This after- | noon he was to begin direct prepar; tions for the Penn game. Even be- fore the first game, Hamilton warned his charges that Penn would be one of its strongest foes this season. While there may be some surprises | in Navy's starting line-up Saturday, the team which will be in the hard fighting will not differ much from | that used in the other big games. Irwin Fike and Zeke Soucek will be the ends, with Ned Hessel at onme | tackle and Duke Ferrara and Frank | Lynch alternating at the other. The center trio, Capt. Rivers Morrell and | Ray Dubois, guards, and John Miller, center, is playing right up to the mark. Frank Case, Sneed Schmidt, Bill Ingram and Bob Antrim make the | backfield quartet expected to deliver Navy's hardest thrust. 'SKEET CHAMPIONSHIP TO BENJAMIN THAW Defeats Deyoe and Walters in | Shoot-Off for National Cap- ! ita] 20-Gauge Crown. ‘BENJAMIN THAW today reigns as uge champion of the Na- al Skeet Club, but only after defeating George Deyoe and H. G. Walters in a 25-target shoot-off after the sharp-shooting trio had tied for top honors with 90 blasted discs out of a possible 100. In the shoot- off Thaw smashed 23 targets, while Deyoe and Walters finished second and third, respectively, with 22 and 21. Deyoe came back to capture the class A trophy of the 20-gauge event, | however, by breaking 90 whirling discs, while J. B. Morrison won the | class B competition with 89 and Mrs. | A. W. Walker won the class C event on a toss-up with L. M. Smith after | they had tied at 82. | Deyoe also garnered first place in the .410-bore championship, cracking 42 out of 50 targets, to trim A. F. | Prescott, who finished in the runner- {up spot with 40. Club members now are sharpening their eyes in preparing for the hunt- ing season, which opens next month. The club grounds have been planted | with lespideza, wheat and barley and an excellent season is anticipated. G VOSMIK TO WED.

Again, it was a smoofhly funce tioning team, rather than indi- vidual brilliance that brought victory. Michigan State and Marquette, high-powered teams, squared off in a hectic battle, and Marquette kept its record clean. Marquette's ace, Buivid, hit his pass receivers with unerring accuracy to make the margin of difference. Northwestern readied for Min- nesota with its victory over Illi- nois. Ohio State had to pull the throttle wide open to down a fight- ing Indiana team. The viotory over Columbia may prove the spark Michigan needed to start it on the WaY. In the Big.Bix, Missouri showed evidence of coming out of its long slump by beating Iowa State.

Tales of proselyting are franker and delivered unblushingly by sponsors | is. Almost every week somebody comes | colleges in classes, ranging from the | amateur to the out-and-out pro-| fessional. { Now and then a coach: will break down and ask you how in the devil he can be expected to win games when they're only giving him 12 or 14 foot ball scholarships a year. The March of Time threw part of the story on the screen a few weeks ago. The new Saturday Evening Post, out this week, hits the racket again. Fran- cis Wallace writes a piece called “I Am a Fgot Ball ‘Fixer,’” and it must go| down as one of the better exposes of the season, not because he calls Pitt| | Pitt, and a pro team, as John Tunis did, but because he goes back, begins | at the beginning, and overcomes deal- ing in generalities by the sheer sin- | cerity of it all. It doesn't pretend to be all news, |mor is it. To the foot ball man “in | the know,” it might invoke a yawn and pege-turning. But to the layman who Wwants an up-to-date Carnegie report in understandable English, it's, worth the outlay of a nickel ’ | “Fixers” Have Consciences. THERE is, it seems, a catch to being “fixer.” “In the beginning” writes Wallace, “it was a great thrill, !and an honest one, to lift a boy out of an industrial background and drop | him on a college campus. It was stim- ulating to dwell upon what this might | mean to him, his future wife, to un- born generations. Then the returns began to come in, and some of the boys, famous and well traveled, began to drift back to the same old streets, | too good for hard work and not quite good enough for the easy jobs they | had expected. I realized that some of these all-Americas might have been lhlppur if they had been allowed to bloom unseen in their native fields. “I decided that I owed an obli- gation to the coach and the col- lege as well as to the boy and his family, and that playing with lives was dangerous as well as fascinating.” As far as Wallace is concerned, there is an increasing desire now to| sidestep “the married man, the obvious | tramp, or mug type, the fellow who is | | chiefly interested in getting away from | | hard work, in seeing his name in the | | paper or getting it on the air. | continues, “I must believe in him, and | T give him the entire hard-boiled pic- ture of foot ball as he will find out. | | If he fails, I am not too much dis- | turbed, because he probably would | workman anyhow.” | | ’I‘O ONE who has not followed his behind-the-scenes foot ball as he should, much of it will come as a sur- prise. The colleges are divided into four groups, ranging from strictly | of this business . . “which it assuredly | pures, who wouldn’t give an athlete the benefit of the doubt, to schools | | out with a comprehensive rating of | whose teams are as professional as the Detroit Lions. The “fixers” are divided into two groups—amateurs and pro- fessionals. The amateur is the alum- nus who wants to be a local big shot by sending halfbacks to college, thereby gaining the ear of the coach, sitting on the bench and inhabiting the dress- ing room. The professional “fixer” also wants te be known as the guy who “sent all those halfbacks.” and when the alumni want to express appreciation he will be glad to sell them life insurance or bonds, or something, and . clean up $20,000 per season. ‘Thus it goes, nor is it all & child of the imagination. Rather, it might well be one of the wedges which, in the not too distant future, will force colleges throughout the land to come out in the open and declare them- selves. The day may come when Dean Doakes will say he is playing students and will schedule accordingly, while Dean Doe will admit that, because of the mortgage on the stadium, the ne- | cessity of provding funds for other | sports, etc., his team is paying linemen $25 per week and backs $35, and that it will continue to book teams that do | the same thing. They Snicker, But Notice. AST week, when Tunis’ magazine piece was picked up by the press services and the “amateurs, semi-pros and pros” were sent over the wire, there was not a football coach or assistant coach who did not sneer and call the whole thing “silly.” But it also was significant that, in the next breath, they contested fully 50 per cent of the ratings. “H-1I's bells.” said one of the coach- ing boys in New York last Saturday night, when they had adjourned to Chick Meehan's weekly gabfest in the Pennsylvania Hotel, “that guy's got G— in the pro group and, s’help me, we ain't been putting out one-half the scholarships that C—— has been giving. And C——'s rated in the semi- pro group. Why, in three years all the scholarships we've given is 47." Another was snickering at the rating of D— in the ama- teur class. “Lordy,” he yelped. “Just the other day in Boston a man was waving a letter from his son at another school where they were giving him a pretty good break to play foot ball. “°I got such a good offer to play at “When I gamble on a boy now,” he D——, Dad,’ the letter read, ‘that I'm | leaving right away. real gravy train.'” Bigger and better exposes. You almost have to be for them because, sooner or later, it will help to eliminate Honest., it's the have turned out to be a& low-grade the greatest fault of college foot ball. | And that is hypocrisy. Minnesota, Nebraska, and Pitt Picked as No Escape for Michigan. ICHIGAN,” writes a West- ern correspondent, “is thinking about moving East, where there are no Minnesotas or Indians or Michigan | States or Northwesterns.” Yes, but there is still a Pittsburgh and a Ford- be a Penn quite different from 1935. In his excellent history of the Olympic games, John Kieran shows how professionalism broke inte amateur sport 2,000 years ago. And 2,000 years from now the same, thing will be happening, as long as the human race retains a good part | of its so-called human qualities. In Kieran's book one fighter fixed three opponents without a manager cutting in. Maybe they were even smarter then than now. The Danger Line Again. 'HE list of the unbeaten who wade up to their necks in trouble oa Saturday is longer than usual. Here it is: Fordham facing Pittsburgh, with the bounding Goldberg lugging the ball—Minnesota and Northwestern, both unbeaten—Auburn and Santa Clara, the same—Yale against a high- class Dartmouth team—Holy Cross at ‘Temple—Marquette meeting St. Mary's Priday night—L. 8.

"WHY is it?” asks H. H. D., “that Rocky Mountain foot ball turns | out so many stars for professional foot ball—some of the best, such as Dutch | Clark—and yet gets so little publicity | around the country?” As our correspondent says, there are too many Rocky Mountain stars on pro teams to underrate this sec- tion. One answer is that the Rocky Mountain sector sticks pretty well to its own conference. The Southwest was in the same fix until Southern Methodist and others began to show | their ways outside of Texas. Another is that more than 400 teams now are in the field, and you couldn’t write & piece about each one | in a year'’s time—much less two months. Those nearest the larger centers of publicity get the break this way.

Topped off by the Minnesota= Northwestern match at Evanston, the list includes Pittsburgh-Fordham in New York, and Marquette-St. Mary’'s in Chicago.

Each of these | three has been beaten only by Bernie Bierman's marvelous machine. The Southwest has yet to crack the “top ten,” although one of its teams, Texas, tied Louisiana State early in the season.
