CENTRAL TOSSERS
START PRACTICING

| Coach Bert Coggins sent his Central
High basket ball candidates through
their first serious drill yesterday. A
squad of around 40 reported. Capt.
| Forrest Burgess was the lone regular
from last Winters team on the job.
| Others present upon whom Coggins
| is banking included Burch, Lemon
and Castell. There also were a num-
ber of likely looking boys displaying
| their wares and a couple more good
| players may be available after the
grid season. Coggins has a real job
to develop a quint to match the crack
1926 combination, but he can be de-
pended upon to get the very best out
of the material at hand. Regardless
of the strength of the team, it will
play an interesting and attractive
schedule. Everett Dahl is manager.

PLAYS ALL POSITIONS
IN ONE LEAGUE GAME

Mack Hills, second baseman for
New Haven, in the Eastern League,
recently played every position dur
ing the course Of single game with
Waterbury.
He opened the game by pitching
the first inning, allowing a single.
He caught the second inning and
threw base runner out on an at
tempted steal
In the course of his travels he had
at least one fielding chance in each
infield position, but had none in the
outfield. All told, he had five putouts
and four assists, three of the latter
being of sensational variety.

Unless hard luck is encountered in

squad will be in good physical condi'
ton for the game with Syracuse. Mon
son, end, is now the lone casualty. and
| he, when fit again, may have to hustle
to get the call over Provincial. Barabas

today. He worked with the second

Another good Southern eleven is
booked to assail a Northern stronghold
Saturday when Washington and Lee
| goes to Princeton. Last year the
Generals played a tie with the Tigers
and this Fall figure to have just about
as good chance as they had then,
although Princeton apparently is much
more capable than in 1926.
Washington and Lee has q lot of
strength, else il would not have been
able to beat Duke in the way it did.
The Durham eleven, with splendid
material and well coached, appeared
at Lexington fresh from a crushing
defeat of Boston College at Boston
and even the Duke coach predicted his
team was going to be victorious. But
Washington and Lee, on the short end
of a 7-to-6 count, with only three
minutes left to play, started an often.
sive that crashed it's way consistently
toward the end of the field until the
goal line had been crossed and the
game won. In other words, Washing.
ton and Lee when it needed points to
win had strength to go get them.
Some time ago q visitor to Wash.
ington made the statement that
Florida would be one of the strong
teams of the South this year. But
Florida week ago gave little indica.
tion of that when it lost by two
touchdowns to Davidson. However,
last Saturday was different, and 1t pro.
duced some of the latent power for
which it was given credit when it
trounced Auburn by five touchdowns
Johns Hopkins ON two consecutive
Saturdays put UP games that were
entirely opposites. 1t was weak and
apparently unable to do much against
Richmond a week ago, but Saturday
met Syracuse and was beaten only
after a hard-played game by the
touchdowns. incidentally, it is re-
ported that Hopkins completed 10 out
of Ii passes in its contest at SYRIA.
cuse, which probably is more than it
ever completed in any five games
against teams as strong as Syracuse
usually is.
Injuries are frequent in foot ball,
and usually the average coach, after
the first month of the season, tries to
keep his same men in the lineup and
consequently aims to avoid injuries.
1t was up to Gus Crothers, Maryland
guard, to discover a new way to get
hurt. Just prior to the game with
North Carolina last week Crothers
started rolling around on the ground
as a limbering up exercise, twisted

NAVY WILL PRESENT

ANNAPOLIS, October lin addi.
ton to whet many believe to be the
best backfleld the Naval Academy has
ever had, that team will present
against Notre Dame in Baltimore next
Saturday a considerably stronger line
than it has used regularly in the
games which have been played this
year.
There is no question but what the
line is not up to the standard of the
backfield, but the material is promis,

fully handled, so that they will be in
the best playing condition Saturday.
The material for the line is just as
good in the green state as any a
Navy team has had, but it lacks ex.
perience badly. This applies to the
forwards, from tackle to tackle, as
the ends are well cared for.

ington and Maryland so against
elevens that are among the strongest
to be met this season.
Georgetown engages in its first bic
contest with Syracuse as its opponent
Catholic University is to entertain the
st. Johns eleven of Brooklyn, n. VI
George Washington has a game at
Rutgers: Gallaudet faces Albright, and
Maryland goes to Norfolk to play Vir'
gfnia Polytechnic Institute.
The Blue and Gray seems to have
at least an even chance to win from
Syracuse. Last year 1t took the meas
ure of the New Workers, and, while 1t
may not be quite so strong now, it
feels that Syracuse is not up to its
1926 mark, either,
Georgetown's game against Davis
and Elkins last week showed that the
team is strong in many ways and that
unless Syracuse is much better than
its victory over Johns Hopkins indi-
Gates nothing short of an even chance
against one of the East's strong teams
is looked for.
Catholic University figures that St.
Johns College of Brooklyn will bring
here the strongest team the Brook
landers have faced this season, and
that should mean a real battle, be-
cause the local school already has
been in two tight contests with Mount
st. Mary's and Loyola.
Rutgers always is pretty strong and
George Washington is likely to have
-Ssalr
gridiron, Notwithstanding the latter
can put on the field a very capable
first-string eleven.
Just to mention that Virginia Poly
fechnic Institute walloped Colgate, a
team picked by experts as the one in
the East having the best chance to
go through the year undefeated, is
sufficient to show what Maryland must
meet. V. p. 1. always has a good
team, but when it has one good
enough to beat Colgate it is far better
than usual. Evidently V. p. l., in
stead of being >little weaker than
year ago. is one Of the strongest in
the South.
One change i'm the Georgetown
eleven was made yesterday when Phil
Mclean appeared at right halfback in
place of Bucky O'Neil. McLean's work,
particularly on defense. against Davis
Elkins Saturday, earned him the try
out with the regulars. O'Neil was
dropped from the first-stringers once
before, only to regain his place bef )re
the opening game. Mclean has been
showing fine form ever since joining
the squad the middle of September.
He had to miss the training at Wild
wood.
Provincial and Tomaini were at the
other ends yesterday, and the re-
mainder of the team lined up as fol-
lows: Saur and Mooney, tackles;
Mosko and Carroll, guards; Grigsby,
center; McCabe, quarterback; Nork,
halfback, and Tudak, fulback. The
