CRACK TEAMS
TAKEN ABACK
Navy and Notre Dame
Defeated; Cadets
Barely Win
BY HERBERT W. BARKER
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-P-A few
weeks ago, Coach Bill Ingram said
the Midshipmen h~enceforth would be
an eternal obstacle in the path Of as
pirants to national championship
honors.
The football season is two weeks
old and Bill still is waiting for his
first victory. First, little Davis and
Elkins came along and sank the Mid
shipmen In several fathoms of water.
The Boston college added a couple Of
fathoms TO the dose. winning 8 to 0
last Saturday.
These two defeats. coupled with
the trouncing Notre Dame took from
Wisconsin, have taken most of the
edge off the battle of Midshipmen
and Notre Dame at Soldier Field.
Chicago, next Saturday. A nation
al championship scarcely is likely to
hinge upon the outcome.
Still finding their breathing some
what difficult, Army's cadets plan
more or less Of a holiday when they
again take the field. Providence is
the next foe and the Cadets are
hoping to find the going compara-
lively easy. Another hair-raising
battle like the one they were forced
TO go through TO down Southern
Methodist, II to 10, would reduce
"Bift' Jones boys to nervous
wrecks.

ROSA
IS IMPROVED
Third Eleven Making
Strong Showing in
Its Class

Santa Rosa's football team has been
named the "Plowboys." This season
makes the third in which Santa Rosa
has put out a football team.
The first team was organized with
IS boys out for practice. There
was only one boy that had eve had
on a football suit. Many Of the boys
had never seen a game Of football
played. The first season three games
were played. two with Rio Hondo and
one with Raymondville. This begin
ming created interest and the next
year nine games were scheduled and
IL boys came out for practice because
there were no more large enough to
play. This year was terminated by a
successful season.
At the beginning Of this season 10
boys appeared for practice and the
coach has been busy whipping them
in shape. On September 2s, Santa
Rosa played Brownsville high boys
and were defeated, 32 to O., but Coach
Burwell feels that with Carter and
Head on eligibility list this score
would be much different. Both Of
the above named boys were ineligible
until a few days ago. Also Dixon,
a guard from last years team is out
and makes the prospects for a team
much brighter.
Coach Burwell halls from Mis-
sissippi A. & ". college where he
played guard on the Aggie Ell wen.
He has been coaching at Santa Rosa
for four years and has won two
county championships in basket ball
and has played ana is playing high
class football with a light team.
Friday the Santa Rosa Plowboys
won over the Rio Hondo team in a
hard fought game, z to O. Rio Hondo
was the heavier of the two teams.
Santa Rosa's touchdown was made
in the last few minutes OF play, after
Nolan, center, blocked a kick and
Cox, tackle, picked up the ball and
ran for the touchdown.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. s.-(R)-Riding
high on the crest Of q winning wave
brought over from the last world Sc
ries. the New York Yankees came TO
their fourth game Of the 1928 series
today, needing but m victory to
make them baseball immortals.
II the New Workers can stop the
st. Louis Cardinals once more as
they have halted them three times
since last Thursday. they will carve
a new record in the archives Of the
game. The Yankees won from the
Pittsburgh Pirates in four straight
games last year but this feat had
been performed before-by the Bos-
ton Braves as far back as 1914. No
team has won two world series with
out wasting a motion.
The Cardinals have been forced
back to their last line of defense and
cannot retreat farther. They have
found solace in the salvation army
cry that a man may be down but is
never out. They realize now, how
ever, that they are down in this Sc
ries and if they stumble again they
will be out.
Starting the series odds-on favor
ties, the Cardinals in four days have
seen the situation change until there
are no odds on the outcome of the
series.
The Yankees we're confident they
could not be stopped after they won
the third game when they got by Jess
Haines, who won two of the games
the Cardinals captured in the 1926
--zuIl 80. IL H. nL.- f~-~-
saw his hopes crumple about him in
two heart-rending innings Of the
third game. He pitched good ball
for six innings but left the mound
with six runs scored against him on
six hits when under a kinder fate he
might have gone on with only one
charged to him.
The big fellow made the same mis-
take Alexander did in New York, gave
Lou Gehrig a ball he could hit. There
was a difference Of an inning but
the result was the same. Alexander
threw one down the Busters alley ir
the first inning Fricay and Haines
in the second yesterday. In both
cases the ball sailed out of the park.
Haines' broad shoulders bore the
brunt of that devastating wallop but
his mates failed him woefully while
the other markers were being scored.
In the game that may make base
ball history today, Manager Higgins
will give Waite Hoyt n chance TO win
his sixth world series gam and tie
the record established BY Chief Ben
der over a long stretch Of classic
pitching from 1905 to 1918. Hoyt has
won five and lost three games in the
blue ribbon event.
Against the Yankee ace Manager
McKechnie will ask Bill Sherdel to
keep the series going. Sherdel. an
admittedly great pitcher, has had no
luck in world series, losing his three
starts. all by close scores when he
pitched good ball but not quite good
enough. The st. Louis boss planned
to "shoot the works" in a final des-
perate effort. Should Sherdel falter.
Grover Alexander or Clarence Mitch
ell or both would be used with Rhem
and Haines available If the series
should be prolonged. If today's game
is not the last word, Higgins has
Pipgras ready for tomorrow.
