BACkFIELD AT NAVY
STRONGER THAN LINE

ANNAPOLIS. October 3.-The belief
that the Navy foot ball team is
stronger in the backfield than in the
line, held by most Of those who have
kept in touch with it during the
present season, was thoroughly con
firmed in the game against Davis and
ElkinS on Saturday.
The outlook at Annapolis is for the
best backfield for years, with several
players who may become stars of the
first rank and relays of reserves
strong enough to maintain the stand
ard On the other hand. the work OF
the linemen. excepting the ends. was
not up to the level Of Navy teams.
1t was also clear that Ingram has
coached his team to make use of the
forward pass as a method of offense
quite in par with the running game.
Twentv.one forward passes were
thrown by Navy players in the game
Saturday. Eleven of these were com
pleted and total of Us yards gained
through them. The rest grounded, not
one being intercepted.

n YEW YORK. October 3.-The
M Eastern foot ball season swung
" into its third week today, with
4 the ma jOrity OF teams getting
ready for the really hard
work, now that the conditioning
process is out OF the way and a SEM
blance of teamwork developed.
Eastern teams found difficulty in
going at top speed last week, as eX'
tremely hot weather imposed undue
hardships on the players. While most
of the sections favorites came
through as expected. in some in
stances scores were not what they
might have been in cooler weather.
Harvard, having impressed observ.
ers with a heavy and fast squad in it's
opener against Vermont, is getting
ready for its first important clash.
1t will take on Purdue University
saturday at the Harvard Stadium.
Yale to Meet Georgia.
Yale will provide more color in the
jntersectional competition for the East
in it's meeting with the University of
Georgia. Yale appears to have lots
OF power, although the coaching stan
processes not to be satisfied with the
41.to-0 victory gained at the expense
of Bowdoin last week. Hailed as
weaker than usual. Yale impressed
critics by its large score.
Drake University will come from
Iowa Saturday for a game with the
Navy. Ossie Solem's charges may
give. the Middies trouble with their
peculiarly deceptive style, but the
Navy has showed all-round strength
and has q forward-pass attack that is
hard to stop.
Other intersectional games will pit
Army against Marquette University
at West Point; Cornell VS.. the Univer-
sity of Richmond, at Ithaca; Syracuse
VS.. Johns Hopkins. at Syracuse: Col
gate VS.. Virginia Poly. at Hamilton.
and Holy Cross VS.. Dayton, at
Worcester.
Penn and Brown Clash.
The Penn Brown game at Philadel-
phia stands out as the first really inn
portant meeting between major East
ern elevens. Pennsylvania started
none too well. but Lou Young's eleven
looked like an entirely different out
fit i'm smothering SwarthmOre last
week, 33 to ..
Cornell has had to fill several gaps
with reserve material, but Coach Gill
mour Dobie seems to have the max
ing of a strong team.
Lafayette will engage Rutgers at
Easton, Pa: West Virginia meets
on Pitts Field; Princeton
faces I1ehigh at Princeton; Dartmouth
opposes Allegheny at Hanover. and
New York University will be host to
Alfred.
Nays showing against Drake
should furnish the tip-of on the
strength of the East in the many
games scheduled this
season. There are many new faces in
the Annapolis lineup. but the teams
showing so far has been very good.
The week following the Drake game
the Navy runs up against Notre Dame
in Baltimore.

~ ITTSBURGH, October 3.-Two
- of the greatest as well as the
most colorful outfield trios in
L base ball will roam the outly.
ing precincts for the Yankees
and Pirates in the world series.
The Yankees have the uncompar.
able Babe Ruth, just finished earn
ing his $4,000 salary by shattering
his own home-run record. But the
Pirates have the famous Waner
brothers, hitters and ball hawks ex-
traordinary.
Paul Waner, in his second year as
big Lacquer. is the National Leagues
leading batsman, with an unofficial
mark Of .379. the leader in hits, triples
and runs driven in. Lloyd, only -
and in his first year under the big
top. has made q rare mark for be-
ginner. leading the league in runs
scored, breaking the modern record
for one-base hits and establishing him
self as the fastest man in the league
down the first base line.
Ruth Packs Punch.
Taking the two outfielders az a
whole, the Pirate trio. on the records,
has a decided defensive edge, where
as the Yankee combination. chiefly
due to Ruth. packs a much heavier
long distance punch.
There Is basis for a merry argu-
ment over the rival right fielders
Paul Waner and Ruth. Paul has
a 23point edge on the Babe in
straight hitting. He also has big

to put up creditable game against

correct many faults shown In it's first
game, Head Coach Arnold Herween
writes in today's Boston Herald.
Harvard defeated Vermont Saturday,
u to 3.
"Offensively, there was no con-
sstent charge in the line" Horween
writes. About every third play the
line would get a lift. but this was
usually followed by a sluggish charge
on the next play. The linemen seemed
unable to stay with their men long
enough.
''On the defense. the most evident
mistakes were made by the guards.
who seemed unwilling to shift to meet
the offensive formation"
