BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December ..
Held on an even basis during the
first three quarters, Vanderbilt came
back in tine final period today and
passed its way to 14-to-7 victory over

RODS, unwilling to risk break through

The Commodores scored the first
touchdown in a sustained drive. which
began shortly after the opening wllis-
tie. Armistead carried the ball over
and Spears kicked goal
Holm. Bowdoin and Brown Co-ordi-
mated in a dash down the field in the

After Brown tore off ~ yards around
left end. Holm went through the Van
derbilt center for the Onlv Crimson
touchdown. and ROwdoin kicked goal

in the last quarter. and to show his
versatility, dashed off several gains

NAVY CRIDMEN
TURN TO OTHER SPORTS
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December s.
Navy foot ball players are, as a rule,
versatile athletes. and most of those
who completed the season in that
sport with the game against the Army
promptly will join the squad in some
other sport.
Under the rules Of the Academy a
period of two weeks must elapse be-
tween the close of one season and
regular connection with some other
sport However, the foot ball play
ers can work unoffic1ally along the
new line.
The first OF the Winter sports to
get under way is basket ball, and its
squad will he quite largely augmented
with foot ball players. Among these
will he Capt Hannegan. who also is
the captai i'm of the base ball nine, and
is anxious to make the basket BAH
team and have.-another shot at the
representatives Of the Army before he
graduates.
Smith, right end on the eleven. was
center of the basket ball team last
year and is likely TO hold down that
position again, while Lloyd. the big,
fast member Of the Navy backfield, is
slated to make a guard position on
the five. Other foot ball players who
will join the basket ball squad are:
Miller. ii regular forward last year;
Spring. r. G. Bauer, H. W. Bauer.
Welchel and Cass
Boxing. highly popular sport at
the Academy, will claim q number of
foot ball men, mostly big forwards
Chapple, a change tackle, is the most
likely candidate for heavyweight
honors. while Burke. left guard. prob
ably will represent the Navy in the
heavyweight class. Other foot ball
players who will join the boxing
squad are: Giese and Haven, tackles
and Moret, end.
Several of the foot ball men who
under ordinary circumstances would
take up some Winter sport will foregO
that action this year in order to de-
vote their time to crew work. The
situation is regarded as making spe-
cal claims on all candidates for the
crew, inasmuch as the Navy expects
tn have it's varsity at Poughkeepsie
and also to enter the Olympic elimi-
ma atoms. The foot ball squad will turn
over powerful lot of athletes to the
crew squad.

Except Western High, which begins
preparation tomorrow, court squads
of just about every school have been
at work for some time.

staged practice tits, but how they
will shape up in an honest-to-go goodness

prominent teams, should furnish con-
siderable of a line as to which are
to be the leaders this Winter.

GAME WITH HUSKIES
ROMP FOR TROJANS

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December 3.-C pt
Morley Drury. all-America quarter
back, led his Southern California foot
ball team 10 a 33-to-13 victory over
University OF Washington here TODAY.
The big and versatile Trojan
skipper pointed the way to the biggest
ground-gaining battle of the year on
The Coast, 449 yards, and not until
the Southern firststring men had gone
to the showers was Washington able
to score.
I The giant line from the shores of
Puget Sound showed TO it's best ad-
vantage in the first few minutes of
play, but it's strength went for almost
nothing against The Drury strategy.
He drew them into a bunch to stop
him at center, and he galloped around
the end. He passed when he was ex-
pected to run, and he kicked surprise
foot balls in their faces when they
looked for trick.
| Schuh of Washington, at left end,
proved d. weak link in his teams de-
fense. He had worked himself into
! top ranks by his play through the
season, but Drury dashed around him
for the first two Southern California
touchdowns today and Schuh was re.
lieved Of his job. The Trojan captain
ran rs yards for the first score.
Coach Bagshaw of Washington be-
gan changing his line and backfied
combinations, but each alteration
was matched by Coach Jones Of Troy,
and the Southern California scoring
continued throughout the first half
with Washington facing q 20-to-0
tally at the close of the second period.
The Huskies scored their first touch
down in the third period, the score
being the business end of an S0-yard
march.
Drury scored his third touchdown
in the third period and an Elliott-to-
Saunders pass put another notch on
the board for Troy. The final touch
down went to the H,lskies on a series
of passes and line bucks
The victory left Southern California
tied with Stanford and Idaho for the

CODE COMPROMISE HINTED

ANNAPOLIS, December s. Nc
statement on the subject has been
given by officials of the Naval Acad
emy but the general sentiment
among naval officers is that athletic
relations with the Military Academy
should end unless the latter institu-
ton adopts the eligibility rules which
now are observed by every other
important college.
Representatives of the institutions
will meet shortly, and officials Of the
academy are reserying any state
ment until after this meeting. Naval
people are hopeful that this meeting
will yield satisfactory results and
are disposed to meet the Army rep
resentatives in a conciliatory spirit
While the Naval Academy already
has put the three year rule in force,
it is probable it would be willing TO
agree upon the adoption of this rule
by West Point, but TO become effec
tive after a lapse of one or two
seasons or not to apply to students
now in that institution. This would
give the Army school time to adjust
its system.
The feeling Of the Navy is based
on the conviction that its players
| nearly all of whom had played only
school foot ball before entering the
academy, should not be made tt
contend year after year against e
| team which always contains one oi
| more stars who have reached that
| status in other institutions.
Transfers Barred Elsewhere.
1t also is pointed out that all tht
pther colleges have abandoned The
practice of receiving transfer play
