ALL. NEW LINE
To PLAY FOR
THIRD AREA
And Only Dodd Undertake
and Noyes Remain Of
1929 BackfieId.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-The Third
Corps Area football team, which
attempts TO wrest the service crown
from the Marines in the Stadium
next Saturday, win be practically
q new combination. Only three vet
Grams of former Third Corps teams
are in line for another chance at
the Leathernecks
Last year the eleven which went
down to defeat before the assaults
of the Marines had a weak line.
This year the forwards are strong.
But the 1924 Lackfield suffers by
comparison with the men who car
ried the BALI for the Third Corps
last year.
Not a player on Third Corps line
is back. Even the ends have been
replaced. Dodd. Undertake and
Noyes remain from the backfield
quartet. Hahn is gone. But the
veteran backs may not start.
Erdman and Deford substitute
wingman last season, are filling the
shoes of Tyler and White. The lat
ter is not on the squad this year,
hut Tyler remains as first sub
stitute.
knight and Won Schilling have
vacated the tackle positions in favor
of Bryan and Kenny, two Of the
best tackles ever seen on one team,
in the opinion of Charlie Moran,
coach at Bucknell, and former men,
tor of the wonder team of Center
College several years back.
The pivot position is being cared
for by Todd, an enlisted man.
Green who snapped the ball to the
backs last season is at. Camp Meade
as a reserve man.
Stanowich. who was suprior to the
regular guards at the Third Corps
camp last year, has a regular berth
this season. Both guards of last
fall. Stokes and Moore, are not
playing football any more. Age got
the better of them Vogel is the
other guard now
Devens, star halfback at the Ma
val Academy in 1928, completes the
hackfield combination, with Dodd,
Noyes and Undertake at the other
positions.

release by Owner Eddie Mater, after
seven years Of faithful service.
1T had many deals and offers for
Chadbourne," said Maier, "but be.

ferred to let him make whatever
deals he chooses for himself. In.
releasing him AZ this time he has

He will make some team an ideal

Chadbourne was rated one OF
the best outfieldevs the game ever

Bob Farrell Polishes OFF Shat

Joe .Downey, clever New Jersey
middleweight, decisively defeated
Tex Stovall, Of the Mohawk Ath-
letic Club, in a ten-round bout at
Washington barracks. StovalI was
just about able to stay the limit.
1t was q one-sided affair, Downey
being entirely too smart for his
smuggling opponent. Tex managed
to land at least one powerful right
that hurt. 1t landed on Downey's
beak.
Kid Sullivan, refereeing the pre-.
limjnaries, stopped the semi.final
after Shattuck had taken a wallop
on the jaw from Bob Farrell and
was hopelessly staggering under
following punches. The bout lasted
one minute and five seconds.
Goose Goslin, the well known
baseball slugger, saw the fights. He
got a big hand when introduced to
the fans.

Then came the country club and
golf. and by that time our rival
business men were nearly seventy
years old and they sneered at the
game. 1t was a foolish fad and
could not possibly last But,
wholly against their better judg-
ment they were at last persuaded
to try this fleeing fashion of a
game, and whether it was the
fresh air sweeping cobwebs from
their brains, or the unacustomed
thrill of walking, or the joy Of
swinging the clubs, they yielded
to the magic of the ancient game.
They were sensible men in spite
Of their prejudices, and understood
their physical limitations. They
only played nine holes, but the
marvel of it is that they do it
each day and always together. The
crust of the office had gradually
been removed and two delightful
elderly gentlemen walked daily
over the green hills and pleasant
fairways. AS l watched these two
warriors of fifty years standing

of their lives. They had become
boys again. and a, game had
wrought the miracle.
There is a peculiar thing about
those men. They are both left.

the same swing-and, to be truth.
full, IL is very bad, but IL suits
them. And since they play golf
strictly for their own enjoyment
they have their own rules, which
under the circumstances is a
sensible thing to do.
I could write a whole article on
this phase of their playing, but I
| mention only the most individual
OF their regulations. If ether goes
into the rough of the first tee it
doesn't count. They do not be-
lieve in bad lies. Their method of
keeping account of the other mans
score is not by asking, How many
have you had?" but by asserting
very emphatically: You have had

such an accurate account of his op.
ponent's score. He replied: ."Of
course, / know that he is not dis,
honest, but he may be a little
thoughtIess." They average about
fifty on each nine holes, and when
one makes a bad shot the other
congratulates him. The most
amusing thing to see was the tense,
crouched way they watched each
other putt. One would have a
six-inch putt and ask, Give it to

And Krauss has never lost his
