BY ROY GROVE

All over the country coaches are
working feverishly to groom their
entries for September "a, the day
o. which the barrier goes up on the
intercollegiate football race.
A glance over the field indicates
that although racing conditions will
be about the same as last season,
faster.
Only a few minor changes have
been made in the rules, and most
colleges are recognizing the coaches
and staffs Of last year.
Renoyations in team material arc
comparatively few, and with the
bulk of playing material of last year
back as seasoned veterans, the game
should be speedier.
The style of play will be largely
the same as that of last season: a
liberal amount of open running, sup
ported by tricks and accurate pass
ing.
Passing to Stay
Forward passing seems to be
necessary in rounding out a well
balanced and effective offense, and
most effective when so designed that
the passes and running plays are
made to look alike. This requires
Tie W Itolldt0 "
mine whether the play is a running
play or a pass.
Forward passing is probably the
department Ohio State will miss
most, although Coach Wilce says he
has Johnny Stuart, last years full
back captain of the Freshies.
Stuart is said to have h feet that
will fill the shoes of Harley and
Stinchcomb, the All-American boys.
States line, which upset the Big
Ten, sat down to Stuart.
At the rush of the season the
kickers receive most of the attention
and if a coach can develop a punt
err or place kicker then the team is
well on its way.
Yost's Anchor-Man
Michigan is depending much on
this; in building a machine around
Steketee, last years All-American
fullback, a wonderful open field run
ner, sprinter and place kicker.
Another of last years All-Ameri-
can team is back in Stanley Kech OF
Princeton.
Stanley should do a repeat in the
All-American for he has been tack
| ling, interfering, bucking the line
and kicking goals in practice all
these summer months.

not so rosy.
Harvard has a wealth of back
field material, but as to the line the
outlook is rather dismal. All the
heavy forward beef stepped out with
diplomas.
The Crimson has a ray of hope in
McCagg, captain of the crew, with
his six feet four inches, the same
which should be credited to Captain
Keith Kane of this years varsity.
Kane did McCagg a good turn last
spring when he Joined the crew,
rowing an oar against Yale. Now a
return call is expected on the grid
field from McCagg.
ELS Best Bet
At the Yale bowl the front strings
play should revolve around Captain
Malcolm Aldrich, left half, and
O'Hern, the brilliant freshman quar-
ter of last year who is expected to
be the bright star of Old Eli in the
coming scrimmages.
Minnesota, Penn, Netre Dame,
| Ohio State, Illinois and Michigan
are expected to be about evenly
balanced as to weight and speed.
The Wisconsin team is being shaped
| about Bunge, an old-timer.
California lost few stars through
graduation and is expected to show
a lot. Brickmiller at end can play
any position.
Georgia Tech, on paper, looks like
the strongest team in the country,
having much of the same material
that last year throttled Penn and

pared to lay beofre the naval com
mittee of the arms conference this
morning its requirements in auxiliary
fighting craft including submarines.
which she desires under the prospec-
tive five-nation limitation agreement
as condition to acceptance of the
10000 ton ratio in capital ships pro-
posed for her. Although what infor-
nation the French estimates might
encounter could not be anticipated in
the absence OF any authoritative dis
closure figures it had been determined
to present. the question of fixing the
ratio i'll smaller vessels for France.
with the capital ship tonnage re-
Sa"dad as settled. was generally
viewed As holding little possibility OF
prolonged controversy.
The question of higher ratio in
small defensive craft. including sub
marines, for France. however, brings
up the matter of the British position
regarding submarines, and it was
thought that at today's meeting of the
naval committee there might also be
Il presentation of Great Britain's plea
for total abolition of the submarine.
The British delegates have prepared
full statement of their position
which probably will be made public
after it has been laid before the com
mittee.
Unless there is a committee de-
cision at least favorable to the British
view, there will be public session
OF the conference later for general
discussion OF the subject.
Although apparently not intending
to press their request for abolition of
the submarine TO the point of greatly
prolonging the conference. the British
delegates are known to be prepared to-
make stubborn fight at least for a
great reduction in the submarine ton
nages suggested in the original Amer
lean limitation plan.
