Since this information was divulged
1t has become known that the Army,
with Smythe, the fleet ball runner.
and the Marine Corps, with Goettge,
the terror or every line he ever
bucked, each counted itself lucky to
have an ace in the hole.
Thus, President Coolidge. who took
quite an interest in foot ball during
his days at Amherst, will be enabled
to see two of the finest backs of the
modern game in perhaps the only
gridiron contest the Chief Executive
will review this year.
Interest in the game was spurred
when it was announced that the
President would attend, along with
a sparkling list Of cabinet officers,
Army, Marine and Naval chieftans.
Color galore surrounds the contest
which will be the third that has been
held between the Army and the
Marines and Navy for the Presidents 8
Cup. Two years ago the Fort Ben

Fleet. The Marines then defeated the
Army.
And now comes the rubber battle,

On November z, last year, Georgia
Tech met Vanderbilt University on
its home grounds in a game which
was full Of thrills and about as stub
bornly contested as any Of my expert
ence. In this game both teams were
at their best; the Tech heavyweights
having been saved out Of the Notre
Dame game a week before to go
harder for victory, while the Vandy
eleven had been especially primed
against our offense.
During the entire first half 1t was
nip and tuck, with neither team able
to score. though we gained more
ground and came nearer scoring than
did Vanderbilt. The third quarter
derbilt had one possible chance to
land q score, but our boys rallied and
stopped her. We were never able to
get within real striking distance Of
our opponents goal line In this
quarter.
During this period Douglas Wycon
was injured slightly, but remained
in the game. In the fourth quarter
neither team made any serious head
way and It began to seem to oil the
spectators that the contest would end
in q scoreless draw. Here. with less
than five minutes to play. determined
upon a bit Of strategy and withdrew
Wycoff, our star, from the game. In
his place I sent Dick Wright, fast
and elusive.
Wycoff had been watched like a
hawk all the afternoon and we figured
W1ight might get chance. we
knew If he did he would come nearer
scoring than any one.
When he went in the game we were
about 40 yards from the Vanderbilt
goal line. On the first first scrimmage
the quarterback called his signal for
an off-tackle play. Our line opened
up @ hole for him and he shot between
the Vanderbilt right guard and tackle.
Getting through, he cut for the other
side with all his speed. Five yards

state. after a. splendid burst Of sus-
tanned, co-ordinated effort against
Michigan, which resulted In last

the necessity Of relying upon one toe
specialist to crown, through his 1nd1-
yidual skill, superb collective effort,
or in failing to kick the goal, to set at
naueht all that IL men had accom-
plished?
It is an absurd condition as well as
unjust. Gradually through the years
the rules committee has been trying
to take the teeth out Of this after
touchdown play-not. 1t must be con-
fessed, with q great deal Of success.
Relic of Old Days.
It is a relic Of the old days when
foot ball was pretty much OF q KICK
ing game; mere sop to trad1tlOn.
But foot ball essentially is no longer a
kicking game, and the rules commit
tee has tacitly admitted it by permit

employed, as well as q drop or place
ment kick, III the attempt to gain
point following touchdown.
The play should be eliminated ut
terly and force Of opinion In this re-
spect Is swiftly growing.
Another change which should be
made lies in the rule which renders
punt negative when the kicking team
is offside. The rule applies as well
to the defending team, but hero. or
course, the penalty may Be deolind
AS the rule works now 1t slows up
the game and causes an irritating
break. A correspondent has suggested
that the 5-yard penalty for offsids
on the part of the kicking team be
restricted to giving the defending
team an extra yards from the spot
to which the ball has been run back
by the catcher.
But this would not prove effective
II only because the kicking team would
be willing to yield yards in return
for the privilege of having ono or
more Of its players get good offside
start down field.
But II the penalty were increased
to Is or 25 yards, no kicking team
would dare attempt to beat the ball
and the stupid process Of bringing the
play back would be done away with.
Shift Due for Lambasting.
Speaking of the rules there is every
reason to believe that shift plays are
coming in for bitter lacing this Win
ter, especially at the hands Of i'm
portant Western foot ball authorities
Stagg Is bitterly opposed to the shift
and Zuppke of Illinois recently came
out against it, charging in particular
that Iowa employed it illegally.

South Atlantic gridirons this
Fall than in any one season
for the last several years. No
team in the whole section Is without
it's quota of men who are standing out
brilliantly in almost every contest.
No doubt Georgetown leads the list
in star players. No other eleven has
in it's lineup so many capable men.
Thompson in the backf1eld. McGrath
and Waite on ends, Grigsby at CEN
term fact. almost everybody on the
team-are players far above the ordi-
nary.
Other local colleges also have some
clever performers. At George Wash
ington there are Sapp and Coleman in
the backfield, and at Catholic Univer-
sity. Manfreda and Foley. Gallaudet
has a back in Dyer who would be a
good ground gamer on almost any
eleven.
Out at College Park the Maryland
eleven started its season with an un-
usually green outfit. but two or three
of it's men have come along, and in
the last three or four games have
played fine foot ball. Thomas and
Stevens at halfbacks have done the
best and most consistent work and
stand out with the best in the section.
Down at Virginia there are two
ends and two tackles who need take
off their hats to no others anywhere,
especially the tackles. Too much
could not be said about Luke and
Cardwell. At Washington and Lee
in the backfleld are Rauber. Palmer
and Whitelock, all excellent players.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute has
Moran at center and Peake in the
backf1eld, both Of whom are among
the best. Down at North Carolina
Moorehead at tackle. Whisnant at
guard and Swartz at center are real
men in their positions.
Incidentally there is a halfback in
another college in Maryland who prob
ably is as good a gamer as Is to be
found on any Southern eleven. Neal
of Western Maryland College. Dick
Harlow, who is coaching at Western
Maryland after a turn at Penn State
and Colgate, is authority for the state
ment that Neal Is one of the best
backs he ever saw. Neal Is the same
player who was star on the QuanticO
Marines. Incidentally, Harlow has
turned out a good team at Western
Maryland, a team that has played bet
ter foot ball than any other there for
years.
Anybody that attempts to pick an
all-South Atlantic team at the end of
the present season undoubtedly will
have his hands full. A team could be
picked, then a second one that would
stand probably an even chance to win
from the first. What four backs

as If he was gone when the Vandy

sidestepped and got clear.
He shot forward and in few steps
was clear of the secondary defense,
with only the safety man between him
and the goal line. 1t had rained heav
lily that week and the field was very

him and he was flying ais he headed
for the goal. Gil Reese, usually q sure

stop Wright. To the crowd It looked

Wright figured otherwise. however,
and correctly. He ran straight at
Reese. but just as the latter prepared
to dive for him, Wright stopped sud-
denly. sidestepped and lodged past
Reese, who sprawled in the mud. Dick

the goal was kicked It gave us a 7-to-0
