NAVY LINEUP HINTED
FOR ARMY STRUGGLE

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, November 25.-The
Navy foot ball team, under Coach Bob
Folwell and his staff. is being primed
for the Army contest in Baltimore Sat-
urday.
The work this week has given a
sure line on the arrangement of the
team for the start Saturday.
But one position, center, seems to be
in much doubt. and Zuber and Os-
burn are the contestants. 1t is believed
that Zuber has slight edge, as he
has played there in the last three
games. Osburn being under scholas-
tic restrictions.
The release of LentZ. the 220-
pound lineman from his scholastic
difficulties makes it certain that he
will start at left guard, with Chilling
worth on the other side of center
The latter has a big lead on account of
his punting, but he has also played
a strong defensive guard during the
season.
This is the probable lineup for the
start of the Army game: Left end
Taylor (captain); left tackle, Wick
horst: left guard, Lentz; center
Zuber or Osburn; right guard, Chill
lingworth; right tackle, Stolz; right
end, r. Caldwell; quarterback, Hamil.
ton; left half, Flippin; right half
Albertson; fullback, Shapley.
Though Shapley is booked to start
tho game, both Hirst and Lewis are
being groomed to take his place ii
necessary. Both have shown uneX.
pected ability as runners in recent
games and practices.

ARE NOW UNCROSSED

NEW YORK, November 25.-Gigan-
tic stadia. which have caused college
athletic officials to bolster their foot
ball schedules with stronger elevens

ronage, have eliminated the once IA
nous "uncrossed goal line" Per

season against acknowledged weak Ell
opponents for the Harvard contest

teams as Army and Dartmouth early

to such enormous extent, even the
smaller institutions are able to pro-
vide more expert coaching, resulting
in the production of stronger elevens.
Two years ago Marquette defended
it's goal SO we'll that only a field goal
was scored against it during the en-
tire season.
This season the Connecticut Aggies
have permitted but one touchdown
and but two field goals.
University of California recorded
the best defense for the 1923 season
winning nine games and holding its
opponents scorelesS in eight. South
ern California managed to score one
touchdown against the coast mar
vels.
The year 1928 produced two re-
markable records. in that neither the

Villa Nova was able to score a single

PACIFIC FOOT BALL
LIKE THAT IN EAST
BY WALTER CAMP.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 25.-
The most frequently propounded ques-
tion which the writer has met up
with while on the Pacific Coast is.
"How does foot ball out here COM
pare with that played by the best
teams in the East?"
The answer is that there is little
to choose between them. They are
almost identical In lending spec
taeular coloring to their gridiron
clashes. however, it must be conced-
ed that the far West is slightly ahead
of the East Also, as regards scenic
adjuncts, the California Stanford
game at Berkeley last Saturday wa.
played amid the most beautiful and
picturesque setting the writer has
ever viewed.
The execution Of the forward pass
and the screening OF 1t were very
highly developed in Saturdays game.
California's short pass was extreme
ly deceptive and SO were Stanford's
long passes.
The defense Of both teams to the
forward pass, however. seemed
weaker than 1t is in the final games
of the season played in the East.
California and Stanford's punting,
on an average. was quite as good as
is seen in any of the Eastern games.
The covering Of kicks by tho ends
was very good. Perhaps this ac-
counts in some ways for failure Of
both California and Stanford to get
runbacks from punts. In the early
part Of the game backf1eld players on
both sides were cautious about taking
fly balls on the run, but later they
took more chances.
The swapping back Of the ball by
both centers was quite on a par with
that of any Eastern team
The 42-yard kick by Cuddeback of
Stanford. which gave Warmers men
their second score, was as good as
one would see anywhere

Northwestern, he said, gave Notre

Northwestern" he declared. was
as fine a defensive team as we have
met this year. It's tactics were good,
its defense was good When the
game was over 1 was glad to hear the
whistle"
Foot ball in the last 10 years has
become exhilarating, he said, because
the players are no longer taught that
they must hate their rivals Now, he
said. there is respect for the opponent
and not much boasting in victory.
There is a little too much of social
life in our colleges Coach Rockne
declared. THE big thing that a boz
comes to college for is character
building. Foundation of character,
as President Lowell of Harvard says,
is physical strength, yet we have in

who do not take any physical exer-
else except a fox trot. They regard
it as the highest honor to get on the
