Army and Navy
Coaches Played
On Same Team

CHICAGO, Nov "a. [0--N o a b e
achievements as athletes color the
background of remarkable coaching
success attained this year by Lawrence
IcCeney ("Biff') Jones of West Point
and William A. ("Navy BilPD Ingram
of Annapolis, mentors of the teams
which lock in annual service combat
on the gridiron at Chicago, January p.
Both were famous in the days of
their strenuous competition at the in
stitutions which claimed them this
year as football instructors. Navy
Bill" was quarterback of Annapolis
elevens in 1916 IL IS in addition to
stroking the Navy crew of 1918 10.
Jones filled a guard position on the
Army teams of 1915 and 1916.
TO a large extent, Jones has carried
ou5 the policies of his predecessor,
Capt. J. ]. McEwan, but Ingrams re-
turn to Annapolis marked the incep-
tion of an -"all-Navy system of coach
ing under which responsibility was
placed in the hands of the athletic di-
rector. The latter, Commander Jonas
H. Ingram, handed the task over, how
ever, to his younger brother and OBJ
servers say Navy Bill' has turned out
the greatest fighting unit the middies
have developed on the gridiron in re-
cent years.
Flight will win" has been Coach In
grams slogan. He insists always that
his team play the best football lit
knows-and by individual instruction
he makes sure that its knowledge is
broad and practicaI--but in the final
analysis he believes that the team
which can muster the greatest fight
ing power will not be beaten.
Perhaps from his earlier association
with the taciturn Gil Dobie-as an en-
sign Navy Bill" was assistant to Do
bic when the latter was the Navy men
tor in 1919--Coach Ingram preserves
an outward pessimism regarding the
prospects of his team. Enthusiastic
expressions, at least for publication,
rarely pass his lips. His thoughts are
his own and even his order of battle
ordinarily remains Il mystery until the
team trots on the field. He has never
this year placed a lineup into a game
which had been correctly predicted in
advance.
"Navy Bilr' is the Youngest of three
brothers---all of whom were among the
greatest football and crew men the
Naval Academy ever knew The third
brother, Homer a., now is dead.
In addition to his brilliant exploits
on academy elevens and crews, Navy
Bill" was president Of his class fori
four years.
He also won the navy department
sword as the best athlete Of his classI
and the Thompson cup for having done
the most in promoting athletics at the!

Rockne's Protcges

In the game between the Army
and Notre Dame, the high spot was
65-yard run BY Halfback Flanagan
of the latter team for the only score
of the game.
Apparently the smanner in which
many coaches have expressed regret
over the hogging of the spotlight by
the. player actually carrying .he ball
finally has borne weight
In reading the comment of the
game as expressed by half dozen
noted football authorities, I was sur
prised and pleased at the consldera-
tion given the Notre Dame players
other than Flanagan.
"Flanagan's run was a team feat"
was the way one expert put it.
valuable assistance from n half
dozen Notre Dame players paved the
way for Flanagan's run that won
the game" was another comment.
1T was a play that required not
only fleet back, but also perfect
Interference by at least four of his
teammates and all of them deliv-
ered," was the way a third scribe
put it.

The squad of % men in the custody

changeable and can be used as the oc-
casion demands. H
Here's the way the backfields appear:
Quarterbacks - Edwards, Parasien,
Riley, McNally.
Left Halfbacks Flanagan, Neimic,
Roach, Bray.
Right Halfbacks--Heardon, Dahman,
Chevigny, Hurley.
Fullbacks - wynne, o'Boyle, Red
Smith, McGrath.
Each backfield is fully equipped with
able kickers and forward passers. In
the first named combination, either
Edwards or Flanagan can be depended
upon for punting and drop kicking and
three of the combination are able for
ward passers. They are Edwards,
Flanagan and Headon. The flying
Flanagan, whose snake-like hips slip
ped from the grasp of several Army
tacklers, is of course the outstanding
runner of this backfield. e a.~
Parasein and Neimic are the forward
passers of the next combination and
Dahman and O'Boyle the kickers, >Par-
asein can hurl pass with either hand.
Injuries received in the Indiana uni
versity game kept him out of the Army
contest, but Rockne considers him one
of the best forward passers yNotre
Dame has had in recent years.
Riley and Roach are both the passerS
and punters of the third mentioned
backfield. Smith is versatile player
and can be used in the line in the case
of necessity
The burden of both passing and kick
inr falls largely uDOn Ouarterhack
in the fourth backfield. . He is
a basketball star who has been able to
put his experience in that sport to good
use upon the gridiron.
Rockne has maneuvered his men
skilfully throughout the present season
and with the single exception of Para
sen had his four backfields in shape
for every game,

Proper Praise

In a football article recently pub
lished by Coach Shaughnessy of
Tulane, he expressed regret at the
manner in which the writers glorified
the deeds of the ball carrier.
The Tulane coach stressed the fact
that the men in the line and the
players who created the interference,
were entitled to an equal share in the
praise that goes with some sensa-
tional play. S
Shaughnessy pointed out that by
watching players other than the ball
carrier, the spectators soon would
realize the invaluable assistance
given the ball toter.
TO most people, however, the big
thrill always will cling to the ball
carrier, the other necessary features
boong purely incidental.

mander in his last year at the academy,
Navy Bill is an imposing figure, even
when he stalks among his own squad,

He carries the navy's "do or die" spirit

Jones, native of Washington, d. c.,
began his football career at washing

1912, achieving the distinction of selec-

He entered West Point as a cadet in
1914 and after brilliant play during
the seasons of 1915 and 1916, was elect

Comparing Teams

Notre Dame, by the way, is in
line to claim the national collegiate
championship and may get away with
the way for the title is defeat
of Southern California
Already there is much conjecture
as to whether the 1926 team is better
than some of the former star aggre-
cations turned out by Rockne.
Rockne himself doesn't think it is
quite as strong as his 1924 team,
which had the -Four Horsema1,' =
Stuhldreher, Layden, Miller and Crow
ley in the backfield.
Knute Rockne is gentleman of
acumen and acuteness. I doubt if
he would admit his present team was
might tend to make his athletes
think too well of themselves.
Coach Bezdek of Penn State who
has turned out some great teams
in his time, has a mighty high
regard for Rockne's present eleven.
Penn State recently was defeated
by Notre Dame. Here are Bezdell's
observations:
In all my coaching experience I
never saw so many good football
players run on the field as Rocknc
sent against us. Each man seemed
to be a little better tlan the man
he substituted for.
Give Rockne field general like
S.uhldreher and his team OF this
year would present a stronger front
than his great team of 1924
Will Rogers said something when
he suggested that in case of another
war Knute Rockne should coach the

LIVELY BETTING
 AS YANKEES WIN
Cardinals Again on Small End
 Of Offers Of 5 to 4 for Series

New York, Oct. tP)-New life has been injected into the world series betting as New York fans make ready to storm the turnstiles at the Yankee Stadium now that at least one more game is certain to b played here. The Cardinals, slight favoritcs when they took lead of two games to one Tuesday, were showed back again to the small end of the wagers as betting com missioners offered to on the Yankees to win today's game and 10 to for the series. It was estimated that $500 000 changed hands here yesterday and twice that amount would be Wagered today.
 Commissioners explained the change in sentiment favoring the Yankees as the result of the teams powerful hitting yesterday. Fans believe, they said. that the team is out Of the batting slump that has gripped them most of the series and the sudden demonstration of Babe Ruth that he has not lost his batting eye is not taken as an adverse omen for the Yankee cause. Bets of 12 to 5 against the Cards taking two straight were reported.
 Whereas only 3S,000 general ad- mission tickets can be sold for the game here Saturday, double that number will be available at the S1nlscc Stodium boXes in the ayent of a seventh game Sunday. No reser- vations hayo been made for a seventh contest, and should such a game be necessary to decide the series. the entire seating capacity of the stadium would he fllled by sale of tickets on the day of the game.
 Ed Barrow. business manager of the Yankees, was iubilant over yes tcrday's victory but downcast at the thought Of possible seventh game Tt will mean plenty of trouble for me and the staff, For the seventh game. if played, every ticket will be placed on sale the morning of the game and that means there will be great dissatisfaction. ticket holders for the first three games and those who were not so lucky, all demand ing tickets, Of course only part Of them being rewarded.
 "It's great thing from a tinan- cial standpoint, but the club would rather not have to face the situa- tion."

 There will be a large number of the students at Yale university in attendance at the game Sunday aft- ernoon, So much has been heard of Grange and his individual style of running in a broken field, that the coaches all over the country who have not yet seen the western phenomenon in action, are eager to see him work and with Tryon as his backfeld mate, they will probably be able to get a number of points from the work of the two streaks.
 Plans are still going on in the New Britain camp to get together fast running backfield Several play CTS are in the offing and will be signed, it is thought in time for the practice sessions. Despite the fact that the Yankees boast probably the greatest team in the country and after the first two games, are work ing smoothly and CO., ordinately, ths New Britain team is expected to give them plenty of opposition in the game Sunday afternoon.

KElNSLNGTON AND FALCONS
 70 MEET AGAIN SATURDAY
If Locals Win, Final Game Will Be Played At St. Marys Sunday Afternoon-Fifth Contest to Be Staged in Paper Goods Town-Series Returns to Be Given By Radio-Buchclz and Cleary Likely Pitching Se- lections-Both Teams Confident

The fifth game of the series be-S tween the Falcon and All-Kensing- ton baseball teams will be played in kensington Saturday afternoon, ac- cording to an announcement made by both managers after a confer ence last night. Although this is supposed to be the last game of the series, should the Falcons win. it will nocessitate another game be- cause one of the contests went to 19 innings without a decision.
 At the present time, Kensington leads in the number of games won with a margin Of two wins to one for the Falcons. If Kensington wins Saturday afternoon the series will be over but if the Falcons come through, then the final game will have to be played Sunday afternoon at St. Mary's field in this city.
 The game Saturday is as much a classic for New Britain fans as the world series is for the fans through out the country Because of the Closcness of the games already play cd between the two teams, the eX- citement over the probable ending of the series Saturday afternoon is intense. The Falcons won the first game when the KensinEton team went to pieces. The Kensingtons came back to take the second by the score of to in a played contest at St. Mary's field. In the third game at Kcnsington, the teams played 1a innings to a 4-all tie while in the fourth game. Eensing- ton won out in a tight IS inning affair.
 Without a doubt, Ginger" Cleary and Farmer" Rucholz will oppose each other again. These two have met on the mound in all except the
 first game and no prettier pitching duels have ever been seen in this city. Cleary had the better of every contest as far as allowing hits was concerned. but Kcnsington got the l hits when hits meant runs. The 1 Falcons were unable 10 bunch their ] bingles and from the looks of i things, the breaks were all in Ken
 sington's favor.
 The Falcons will make an attempt
 to break this string of defeats on
 Saturday and from all appearances
 at the present time, a game on
