Russ Avery and Captain Irvine Fhillips are the regular ends. Beay Lom, Stanley liarr and Clarence G GARRITY rrity are three of the blacks the Bears are using to start their games. Phillips is rated as one of the best ends in football this year, By BOB MATHERNE NEA Service Sports Writer. Only a few short weeks ago this 1928 football season was being term- ed the make-or-bre “Nibs" Price out at California and here we are in November and Mr. Price seems to be sitting in the most comfortable spot that he has been in since he became head coach of the California eleven. Not since the good old days of the late Andy Smith nhas the California eleven had as good an opportunity of being ranked equally as import- ant as any other Pacific Coast eleven as she has this year. Mr. Price has refused to do any breaking. Neither have his Berke- ley boys cracked any when the crack ing might have been dangerous, There are some who will tell you that the Californians were extremely lucky to have arrived at the spot where they are now and these peo- ple are the same ones who are likely to tell you that the Stanford hords will make monkeys out of the Gold- en Bears. But that is neither here nor there at this time. The Californians are sitting in a nice spot and will be in that same spot until they meet Stanford. That's assuming they WoN't take ope ere they get ready to play Pop Warner's eleven. Californja and Southern California met early in the season. The result was @ scorcless tle. That ranked California equal with Southern Cali- fornia—in cold figures, at least. The Southern California eleven rushed along early this month and socked the highly-touted Stanford eieven of Pop Warner tinder a 10-0 count and that lifted them up in the world. 1 It is necessary fer California to take the Stanford eleven when they nieet this'month if they wish to be | rated on equal terms with Southern California. 1t Stanford wins, the Los Angeles eleven will be the out- standing eleven and champions of the Pacific Coast. Price started the geason with a tremendous squad of football play- ers, approximately 75 very well- built young men, and he has pushed them along gradually. His line was hard hit by graduations but the re- placement material has come through in splendid shape and the reserves and veterans on hand have done nobly. His backfield is work- ing nicely. 1t all depends upon the Stanford game—and it doesn’t pay to be too certain about. the ontcome affair.

This was formulated by the general board of the navy and hearing Sccretary Wilbur's approval, as made public today. Revisions were noted in many details which Mr. Wilbur said had been made for the purpose of eliminating obsolete projects and expanding the aviation branch of the service.

Under the terms of the measure, the cruisers would be laid down at the rate of five each in the Hml! years of 1929, 1930 and 2931. The construction of the aircraft carrier would be begun before June, 1920, | exclusive of aircraft equipmeat. It is estimated that the 16 vessels will cost approximately $274,000,000. Larger Originally | Originally, a much larger building | program was recommended by Sec- retary Wilbur, but his proposals| were whittled down to the propor- tions of the present measure by the | house. The revision of naval policy is the first since the Washington arms con- ference. It sets forth that “the damental navy policy of the United States is that its navy should be maintained in sufficient strength to support United States policies and commerce, and to guard its conti- nental and overseas possessions.” After pointing out that building and maintenance policy must con- form with arms limitation treaties, the general board in its statement said that it was purposed “to build and maintain an efficient well-bal- anced fleet in all classes of fighting &hips in accordance with the capital ship ratios; and to preserve these ratios by building replacement ships and by disposing of old ships in ac- cordance with continuing programs; to make superiority or armament in their class and end in view of the designs of all fighting ships, and to provide for great radius of action in all classes of fighting ships.’, In view of America’s comparative lack of fueling bases, which makes small cruisers with their necessarily narrow radius of activity of little value, a point stressed by President Coolidge, the board said that vessels fun- | of this description would not be in. clude in future construction pro- | grams. On the other hand, the plan is to “replace all old cruisers with mod- ern cruisers of 10,000 standard tons displacement, carrying eight-inch guns and, in addition to build simi- cruisers at a rate that will main- tain effective cruiser tonnage in con- formity with the capital ship ratio “established” by the Washington conference. courages Aviation Encouragement to civil aviation | occupies a place in the policy enun- | ciated by the board, as well as for- eign cruisers for the purpose of strengthening relations with other | powers and support of American in- terests in developing the American marine. The board also asserted that the marine corps should be main- tained at a strength sufficient to meet the needs of the navy with re- spect to detachments for vessels of the fleet, troops ready for service as expeditionary forces, guards for shore stations and garrisons for outlying posts. The policy with respect to the naval air service contemplates the maintenance of the aircraft carrier tennage allowed by the Washington treaty, the preparation of detailed | type plans for the *“rapid conversion of suitable merchant vessels to air- | craft carriers,” and the designing of aircraft carriers in such a way that a maximum of heavy class planes ;mn_\' bhe carried. The hoard also laid down a general policy of di- recting “the development and em- | ployment of naval aviatien primarily |to the fulfillment of {ts principal mission, namely, operations at sea with the fleet. iRay Schalk Signs as Assistant to McGraw New York, Nov. 13 (P—Ray Rchalk, one of the greatest catchers {the major leagues have ever seen, hah signed fo assist John J.

Cadaaaaa, 1 COLLEGE COURT TEAMS - PREPARING FOR SEASON Basketball Is Right On the Heels of Foothall—Favorite Quintets Are Already Being Chosen — Survey of Prospects In All Parts of the Country—Grid Lead- ers Generally Low On List In Other Lines of Sport —Fireworks Expected In Chase For Champion- ships—Outstanding Stars. New York. Nov. 13 (M—The foot. ball season is in full blast with the All-America frenzy and the award- ing of the laurel wreaths still ahead, but already the sounds of practice on many a college gymnasium floor has announced that the basketball season is right on the heels of foot- tall. From all indications its coming will mean the introduction of a dif- ferent set of colleges and universi- ties to athletlc fame, as those which are supreme in football rarely scale the heights in basketball as well. A good example is Carnegie Tech of Pittsburgh, which at present is rid- ing high as one of the two unbeaten and untied elevens in the east but which set something of a record on the basketball court last winter by losing every game it played. Judging by the results of last year the basketball world can look ahead from this pre-season date when the coaches are just beginning to think about issuing their calls for candidates and cast its eyes on the following teams in the seven major sections of the country in the expectation that they will supply a big share of the fireworks if not the championships. In the east—Pittsburgh, Penn. sylvania and Princeton stand out. ‘The Pitt Panthers played a 21-game schedule last season without losing a game. They included five Western Conference teams and Dartmouth of the Eastern Intercollegiate league among their victims. Several veterans from that squad which included some star sopho- mores are back this year. Pennsp- vania won the eastern “Bix Bix" championship and has Joey Schaaf, the league's high scorer back again, while Princeton, runner-up, can bank on Mike Miles and Eddie Wittmer, its football-basketball this year. In the middle west—Both Indiana and Purdue which wound up in a tie for the western conference cham- pionship, had young teams and start the new drive with most of their vetcrans on hand. Loss of Correll, all-conference guard, is the only real | blow dealt Indiana by graduation. Purdue with the six foot six inch “Stretch” Murphy at center and a full supply of experienced men around him will take a lot of beating | before the race is over. In the far west—Southern Cali- fornia has what advantage goes with being the defending its margin over California in the southern half was pretty slim. Stan- ford had an freshman team and must be reck- oned in on what looks like a repe- tition of the tight race of last &ea- son. Washington was the class of the northern section of the conference and hopes to repeat there. In the Missouri valley—This will be the first year of basketball com- petition in the new “Big Six. Nabraska, now the dominating factor in the football race in this group, will be a marked outsider on the ceurt as it has a long way to come frem last year. Oklahoma's towering team pivoted around Vic Holt, who is an inch taller than Murphy, won the last championship of the old Missouri Valley confer- ence in 1927-28 and must be made a heavy favorite although Kansas un- der “Phog” Allen is always dan- gerous. In the southwest—Arkansas, an- other lofty team unbeaten in win- aces, again| champion, but | exceptionally good | ning the championship last year, has the makings of a strong quintet. In the Rocky Mountain Confer- ence—it will be the Montana State Bobcats against the rest of the fieid as the other eleven colleges are de- termined to halt the “wonder team" which last season dropped only twe sames in 38 starts in winning the title. Colorado college, whose star forward, 8impson, broke all confer- ence records for acoring, will bear watching and so will Wyoming. In the south—this ia hardest sec- tion of all about which to prophesy as was shown last sefSon when the University of Missisalppi jolted the experts by winning the title. “Ola Miss" beat out Auburn, another combination which before the sea- son was looked upon as & decided dark horse. The Mississippi team which scored its victory largely through the efforts of the redoubt- able Phillips’ twins appears to have less chance to repeat than any of the other sectional championship aggregations. VERNONT REFUSES - TOCANGEL GAE New Britain High Team May Not Play Hillhouse Saturday Severe opposition from the head- | master of Vermont Academy ang |from the members of the football squad to a cancellation or postpone- ment of the football game scheduled with New Britain for Saturday has made it necessary for the game to be played as originally scheduled. |The game with New Haven Hill- | house High school which was to be substituted will be played on Thanksgiving Day, #f Coach George | M.

As soon as Coach Cassidy learned of the setback he motored to New | Haven to see if he could arrange a game for Thangsgiving Day. There are many factors, however, which he will have to consider. The New Haven team is ahout through for the season and it may be possible it will |have two weeks or more of idleness | before the game. This may make the athletic authorities unwilling te play.
