CHICAGO u. HELPED
BY INSPIRED PLAYER

CHICAGO, November 11-Amos
Alonzo Stagg, veteran coach of the
University of Chicago foot ball team
appeared today in the role of a master
psychologist, as friends told of one of
his means to rouse the Maroon for
its startling stand against Illinois
last week. Spectators at the game
Saw Austin McCarty, seemingly in
spired, pound his way through the
astonished Illini. He seemed to
answer the prayer of Stagg for
eleven inspired players to beat H.
linois.'
When Stagg made his plea for in
spired players at the annual foot ball
dinner before the game ne assailed
in withering terms an unnamed play
er on the team. He called him an
enigma, without even the loyalty to
attend the dinner. Eleven inspired
players could beat Illinois," said
Stagg. but 1 do not expect to see
him inspired Saturday."
Alumni present considered he was
speaking of McCarty. Next morn
ing a delegation met the Maroon full
back. He explained this absence from
the dinner and told the alumni he
had always given his best since he
was on the team and that he would
continue to give it. The delegation
suggested that McCarty see the "old
man"
At Stages home. McCarty and the
veteran coach held long converse
tion. No one knows what was said
but at the end they shook hands
They understood each other. And
the result. friends of both say, was
McCarty's sensational showing agains;
the redoubtable 1llini.

BASKET BAIL SQUAD
AT WORK ON HILLTOP

Only three regulars Of last sea-
sons quint were among the more
than 60 candidates that reported to
Coach John O'Reilly yesterday for
the first drill of the 1924-25 George
town University basket ball squad.
Veterans on the floor in Ryan Gym
natium were Jim Sweeney and Hap
Farley, forwards, and AL Brogan,
guard.
Capt. Jack O'keefe probably will
not sport the Blue and Gray this
season. Due to his fathers illness,
he has not returned to college this
Fall and is not likely to get back in
time to lead the basketers.
OReilly knows little of the capa-

Thus we get a first group in the East
as follows:
Yale, Dartmouth. Princeton. Rutgers.
The order Of naming should not be un-
derstood as signifying precedence. We
shall have to wait for that.
Penn's Attack Poor.
Pennsylvania, while still unbeaten,
cannot discount the fact that her at
tack is mediocre and way below the
quality of her defense. Cornell must
do more than snow weak Susuuehanna

ton her victory over Columbia team

her master mind. But the stars seem
to hint of great things for the Ithacans
before the season is done.
In the Western Conference Chicago is
entitled to rating with Illinois in first
place. Michigan ranks second and Iowa
third. Indiana stands with Wisconsin
in fourth position through her victory
over Ohio State. while the Buckeyes
must sit in fifth place, keeping company
with Minnesota Northwestern and
Purdue are out of the picture.
Notre Dame crushed Wisconsin. and
stands today as the greatest team in
the country, from the golden shores of
the Pacific to the surging Atlantic from
ing spindrift of Maine.
While California and Stanford stand
as the two undefeated elevenS of the
country the former should be re-
garded as having a slight edge over
her Palo Alto rival just now.
California Given Edge.

Washington eleven on a wet, Slip

NAVY TO GET TEST
IN BUCkNEL! GAME

ANNAPOLIS, November 1.-THE
The clash here next Saturday be-
tween the Navy and Bucknell is
anticipated as real test of the Mid
shipmen, the last which they can
have before they meet the Army in
the Baltimore stadium on the 29th.
The Nays defense against a di-
rect attack is looked upon as excel
lent, and it showed a decided i'm
provement in its offense in Satur-
days game against Vermont. The
Bucknell game is awaited with keen
intere st because it will afford a real
test of the strength of the Navy's at
tack.
In Albertson, H. H Caldwell and
Banks the Navy has three promising
running backs. Wellings, who did
such good work against Princeton.
is suffering from injuries, but should
be available next week. Hamilton
has done some fairly good running,
but his chief strength is in his pass
ing. With Shapley and Flippin and
a number of second string backs, now
banned for scholastic reasons, the
team should have reasonable indivi-
dual strength behind the line.
However, it is admitted freely here
that the Navy cannot hope to have a
back this year who can cope in abil-
ity with H. Wilson. While at Penn
State last season he ran rings around
the Navy team. Now he is the, star
of the West Point back field. The
Nays great task defensively will
be to stop Wilson.
While Shapley is an excellent run
ming back, the Navy cannot equal the
Army's running game, and must try
to match it with a superior pass
ing attack. 1t has not exhibited any
thing in particular along this line
this season, but it is to be remem-
bered that teams coached by Folwell
always have been notable for the
varied and brilliant passing game
which they displayed in their objec-
tive contests.
