The New York herald., 1922-10-18

urday is the first meeting of the n
Pennsylvania and Notre Dame will FOL
and neither will care Just how hard
nado go at each other. For. be it lxi
tho Navy facing Pennsylvania on Fra
Georgia Tech at Atlanta.
Tho Navy's reconstructed eleven
had quite a scare last Saturday. when
IL was pressed to the limit to win over
Bucknell by IA to z. Getting tough
battle from little Bucknell was not
exactly a new experience for the
future Admirals, for the Pennsyl-
ranians make it a habit 10 extend the
boys at Annapolis every time they
pay them q visit. Last season, at
later stage, the Navy was fortunate
e. win over Bucknell by 6 to 0.
Georgia Tech has been showing its
usual dazzling attack with stress on
shifts but has not been very much on
defence. Last Saturday the Tornado
defested Alabama. SO to z. Oglethorpe
was beaten in the opening game, 81 to 6.
and Davidson held the Yellow Jackets
10 19 to o on a muddy field. Heavy
going is not relished by the Atlanta
eleven, which needs fast footing for
the best execution Of its shifts.
Heavy Team at Annapolis.
When the Navy football team goes
through a vigorous scrimmage these
afternoons Annapolis windows rattle
and seismographs In Washington are
wigged out of kilter. Bob Folwell has
under his tutelage group of ponderous
rachyderms the like OF whom the Naval
academy never before has sent into the
football arena. Bob apparently believes
that he can crush the Army this year
with O preponderance OF poundage and
has selected line which sets a weight
record at Annh polls.
The entire eleven Is by far the heavi-
est which yet has carried the Navy
standard. and the Navy never has been
very light. The average of the line
from end to end Is a mere 1893 pounds.
The backfie,d is not exactly composed
of striplings either. Carney, the tre-
snendous guard, reported heavier than
ever and has got himself down to ZIG
pounds. Lentz. the young man who
came to the Navy recently direct from
Foster Sanford's football class at Rut-
gers, scales at only 210 pounds. These
are the first 200 pound birds who ever
played next to the Navy center In any
year and they already have created
quite furore.
Folwell's tackles are lightweights.
J-evenski and Shewell. who were second
stringers last year. are able to tip the
beam at only 191 pounds and have been
put on diet of tenderloin steak and
cocoanut custard pie to bring them UP
10 level with the gargantuan guards.
Mathews. who is holding down the job
at center, presents a pitiful object OF
under feeding as he stands between
Carney and Lefitz.
Center Weighs but 1S2.
Mathews weighs -saly 1s2 pounds, but
is naturally given to leanness and no at
tempt will be made to make him
thicker. Parr, the corking end. weighs
1856, and Taylor. the other wing, scales
at IT'S. The ends have q bunch OF helft,
hut they are fast and have lot Of foot
ball sense. Parr was one Of the out
standing TANKS of 1921 and Taylor
showed class too.
While 1t is early to be talking about
late November classics the Navy al
ready ia working with It's eyes on the
battle with the Army. And the Cadets
are bending all their efforts toward the
clash with the Midshipmen. Now that
French has gone from the Army, the
men at Annapolis are counting more
than ever on having the one, bright par
ticular runner of the annual game. They
are counting heavily on Barchet, the
brilliant back whose running and kick
ing featured the Navy offensive at the
Polo Grounds last fall.
Barchet has splendid running mate
in Conroy. tho captain, who calls the
signals. Mckee and Hamilton again are
available, and then thero are F'llppen
and Norris. Folwell has not as brilliant
n set Of runners as he possessed last
fall when he also could call on Koehler.
Cruise and Noyes. But Hamilton ought
40 have fine year. He showed great
promise last season and seems ready to
shine now.
Folwell has his task along the line.
lie has lost Clyde King. the great
tackle. as well as Bolles and Larsen, the
center. who played bigger role in the
defeat of the Army last year than he
got credit for. However, Folwell has
weight. and we pity those windows
down in Annapolis on Saturday. when
the ponderous pachyderms go smashing
into action against that golden Tor
pado.
