YALE-GE0RGIA
ATTRACTS EAST

New York, Oct. 13.-(AP)-The
fale-Georgia game at New Haven
seems to hold forth the greatest
possibilities of football fireworks
in today's eastern games. Except
for three positions, Georgia enters
the battle with the same lineup that
defeated the Ellis in a sensational
game last year, IL 10. Yale has
been hampered in practice by in
juries.
The annual battle between Pitts
burgh and West Virginia occurs at
Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh shared the
mythical eastern championship with
Yale last year. After bowling to
Davis and Elkins, West Virginia has
come along at fast clip and homes
to avenge the 400 trouncinp II toni
at the Pitt Stadium last season.
New York's attention will be CEN

For Chicago, which also had the

1t is not always possible to ar

believe all college and high school
coaches will agree that if games
could be scheduled in such sequence
that the squad is allowed gradual

The 1927 schedule of the Univer-
sity Of Pittsburgh team was we'll

would just as soon meet the five
or six strongest teams in the
country every year if the games
were SO arranged that my squad
would develop slowly and breathing
spells" would be afforded.
- believe the well-balanced sched-
u1e consists of from seven to nine
games. It starts off with two or
three easy contests, the outcome of
which should never be in doubt. The
. games, however. should become in
creasingly difficult, and the third or
fourth game should be a real test for
the team.
Development Was Gradual
Last season Pittsburgh met these
teams, in the order indicated: Thiel.
Grove City, West Virginia, Drake.
Carnegie Tech. Allegheny. Washing
ton and jefferson, Nebraska. and
Penn State. The first two games
permitted me to experiment with
plays and players; West Virginia
gave the team a good test. as did
Drake. The annual intercity battle
with Carnegie Tech was high point
OF the season. and the game with AL
legheny the next week was what I
term breathing SPELL Then came
hard games with Washington and
Jefferson, Nebraska. and Penn State.
This season Pitt must meet Car
negie Tech. Syracuse, Washington
and Jefferson, Nebraska, and Penn
State on consecutive weeks. Such an
arrangement allows no breathing

We met Thiel and Bethany in the

the following week permits a brief

OF course, schedules cannot ALWAYS

Theoretically, the well-balanced

SCHAEFER LOSS
BRINGS RABBIT
WINNING HEART
Jackrabbits Determined ia
Whip Columbus Without
Halfback Today

Bookings, S. D., Oct. ia new
fighting spirit amounting to grim
determination has been in evidence
the last couple of days in the State
College Jackrabbit camp, brought
about quite largely by the fact that
the team would be minus the services
of Roman Schaefer, triple threat
halfback, in the game with Columbus
today.
In giving out the starting lineup
for the game, Cy Kasper definitely
stated that "Schaef" would not play.
The muscle injury to his hip is COM
ing slowly and the fondest hopes in
the Jackrabbit camp are that the
veteran back will be ready for the
North Dakota University battle
next week.
With Schaefer on the sidelines,
Kasper spent much Of the time yes
terday searching for a punter and
passer to take the place of the in
jured star. Both Schultz and Henry
were tried at the left halfback job,
and Cy was more than pleased with
the way they responded. In fact, in
Henry, Cy believes he has uncovered
a real dark horse and wonders how
the little Volga boy has remained in
obscurity so long. Henry is fast,
strong on defense, and is a good
punter and passer. Schultz has long
been recognized as a good punter
and his passing and general play
has shown great improvement since
he has been forced into regular
job.
Vert Englemann, star ball carrier,
was also given a trial at the punting
and passing job the last couple Of
days and his work showed great i'm
provement. Cy's search for punters
even went to the line where he un-
covered a good kicker in Eggers,
right end. The Wagner boy may be
called back to boot in a pinch.
The line looked lot better this
week. Every lineman on the first
two squads is fit for the first time
this year.
Kaser is far from optimistic over
the outcome of the game and will
be more than satisfied with a slim
victory. Every ounce of strength
available will be piled into the game
with no thought Of future conference
games until the final whistle blows.
A squad Of 80 players made the trip
to Sioux Falls.

TR0JANS IMPORT
ENCLlSHMAN FOR
EXPERT: KICKING

Los Angeles, Oct. 13.-@-A
rugby player, a gentleman clever
with his toes, will try to end the
University of Southern CALIFORNIA;
long string Of one point defeats on
the gridiron.
Edward G. Greeves, who halls
from a far south sea land, Aus
tralia, is imparting to the Trojan
players the methods Of punting and
drop-kicking as are practiced in the
land Down Under" in the game Of
rugby. That he was imported dis
lance of 5000 miles indicates the
institutions pressing need for an
accurate drop kicker, for the lack
Of which many football games were
lost by one point margin.
Greeves, one of Australia s most
noted kickers and a star for the
last six years on the Geelong. team
of the Victorian league, will act in
an advisory capacity to Coach
Howard Jones. That he has never
seen game of American football
is immaterial, as he will confine his
efforts to teaching punting and
drop-kicking.
As the Anzac can boot the pig.
skin as accurately as most American
halfbacks can pass the ball, Coach
Jones is looking for him to bring
out some remarkable improvement
in his punters, and to develop an
accurate drop-kicker this season.
something that Southern California.
has not had since the pre-war days
OF frankie Mallette.
Greeves is said to possess a rec
ord Of kicking a rugby ball 90 yards
into the air. Fifty yards is just a
fair" kick. for him, and, for ac-
curacy, his boots remind one of a
rifle shot, seldom veering from the
intended goal. He can place his
kicks so that he can hit an item the
size of a football at IS yards. and
that is a simple feat for him.
Rugby football once was PLAYED
by American colleges, but this is
said to be the first time that a
rugby player has been brought into
use to teach opponents of American
football the art Of kicking.
