MORAN TAKES CHARGE
Of GR|DMEN AT CENTRE

Uncle Charles Moran, who has been
calling the good and bad ones in the
National League since last April, has
taken hold of the Centre College foot
ball squad. From Danville has come a
rumor that this will be Moran's last
year as mentor of Centres gridiron
destinies. Report has it that Bo Nc
Millin received an offer of the post for
1922, and has it under consideration.
Tiny Thornhill, who played three
years in a tackle berth at Pittsburgh.
Is now applying Glenn Warmers pre-
cepts of line play to the Centre for
wards. All Danville is hoping that he
will be able to remedy the gravest de-
feet that appeared in the play Of the
kentuckianS last season.
October will be a month of inter-
sectional games. Eastern. southern
and western elevens will come to
grips all over the map shortly and
be significant in determining the f1nal
rating. The Chicago-Princeton game
at Nassau October % will attract un-
usual attention. Last year the Mid
way team was regarded as the pest
defensive outfit in the big ten, but
lacking In offensive weapons This
season it already is clear that the
Maroons will show improvement on
attack while retaining their ability
to check opponents.
Princeton has not met a conference
eleven since the organization of the
big ten. And filed away in the
archives at Nassau is precious little
svf ion ir,tr of n
play in the middle west. But the
Maroons in their games against
Northwestern and Purdue will be well
secuted by Tiger experts AS for
Chicago, it is said that Norgren, as
sistant coach. will attend Princeton's
game at Annapolis.
Georgia Tech and Georgia Univer-
sity. whose rivalry is SO bitter that
they do not have foot ball relations,
are slowly drawing together in bonds
of friendship. There Is plan now
play their November 26 game on
Grant Field, Techs area, at Atlanta
The season of the Yellow Jackets
ends November "a.
Coach Glenn Warner. who has been
steadily pointing the Pitt team for
the Lafayette game. probably will
send the following lineup against
the Eastonians: Bowser, center; Sack
and Seidelson OF Peters. guards; Har-
man and Mclean, tackles; Stein and
Williams. ends; Holleran. quarter
back; Capt. Davies and Hartnett or
Anderson, halfbacks. and Hewitt
fullback The line would be heavy
yet speedy, and the backfield the best
balanced the Panthers ever have pre-
Sented.
Quite an addition was made to the
Virginia Tech coaching staff last
week with the arrival of Lieut.. Corn
man Hahn, who will have charge OF
the engineering unit of the students
army training corps at the institute
Hahn was one of the greatest half
backs that ever wore an Army uni
form and played in the backfield with
Elmer Oliphant at the Point in 1917
He will assist Coach Younger with the
backs and ends and will have full
charge of all the kicking candidates
With only = few days remaining
before the Washington and Jeffer-
son game, the foot ball situation a,
Bucknell University still is very un-
guard and tackle positions and half
back job. The coaches have sorted
and shifted candidates and are mol
very optimistic about the prospects
for the clash with the Presidents.
The addition of Lawson Robertson
to the coaching staff of Penn's foot
ball team has won much favorable
|comment. This is the first year Robert
son has taken an active part in the
conditioning of the men. Last year
several of the players went stale un-
der the strain of the big midseason
|games. Coach Heisman wishes to avoid
that this year and for that reason
Robertson has been added to the staff
