Princeton Has Some Clever

Barfield will play one tackle again. but
his running mate last year, Jack Whyte,
is waiting for a broken wrist to heal.
Substitutes of last season and sopho-
mores must fill the line holes.
Have Two Fine Ends.
To offset the problems rising in the
center of the line, Roper has two sterl-
ing ends in Johnny Stinson and New
man Lawler. The substitutes on the
wings are fast, rangy and powerful.
Given an accurate passer, the nucleus Is
there for the kind of aerial game that
swept the boards clean in 1925.
There will be no radical changes In
the Princeton system this year. The
huddle, best method of imparting sig
mails to eleven excited youngsters In
heat and din of conflict, has come to
the Tiger lair to stay. Roper was among
the first to use that system and he can
see no reason for changing 1t.
my material Is spotty," he said with
a smile, land not well balanced. There
is individual strength, but lack Of
evenness in the quality. We're pretty
well fixed in some positions and badly

It can be added that there Is danger
in that smile for opponents who take
those words literally. Bills smile, like
the deepest part of the darkness, comes

CHICAGO, September 20.-Those
two young futurists of American tennis,
George Lott and John Hennessey, the
first players ever to bring the national
doubles championship to the Middle
West, were home today in quest OF
new honors.
The occasion Of their return was the
opening Of the United States inter-
sectional team championships on the
turf courts of the Chicago Town and
Tennis Club. Aside from Bill Tilden,
Frank Hunter and the French Davis
Cup team, virtually every player OF note
was here to compete for the Simpson
Cup, won last year by the Middle
States representatives, Tilden ana
Wallace Johnston.
International flavor was added 10 the
tournament by the presence OF the
Australian team Of Crawford, Cum
mings, Hopeman and Young.
Seven sections of the United States.
in addition to the Australians, Will

being tried at center; O'Brien, 1885,

groomed for tackle job; Smith, an
other tackle candidate, and Mullin and
Devin, who are out for guard assign
ments.
Jean Murphy appears to have the
edge in the battle for quarterback.
Schmidt and Healy are battling for one
halfback job. Champa has clinched the
other ha1fback position, and Capt
Malevich has a strange hold on full
back. Sheehan and Conveigh are a
pair putting up lively battles to gain
place in the backfleld.
Loss of several men through ineli-
gibility and other reasons has hit the
Brooklanders hard.
Scrimmages have been arranged for

IL is certain that a tentative first
University of Maryland foot ball eleven
will be picked by Head Coach H. c.

week. The Old Line mentor still is
uncertain as to who will be placed at
the tackle posts, one guard station and
one backfield berth.

Crothers probably will hold down one
guard job, but Wondrack, 1927 regular,
is being furnished lively fight for the
other guard assignment by Heintz, a
reserve last season. Finding another
regular backfield man and reserve ball
carriers offer Coach Byrd task.
Maryland's squad was swelled to SO
yesterday when three joined the Old
Liners. They are John Allen, end or
tackle, who transferred from the Phar-
macy School in Baltimore to take chem
istry at College Park, and John Pitzer
who scales ITO, may do well. Though
slow, he is rugged and heady. He
played with the freshmen last Fall and
also with the yearling basket ball five
last Winter. Hanback, was on the var
sity squad in 1927.
There are now four on Maryland's
injured list. including Jack keenan,,
Warren Rabbit, end; John Clary,
guard, and Jack LIE Roy, center or half
back. Keenan, is the only varsity vet

played with the freshmen last season.
Georgetown University may be rep

Emile BoZek, younger brother of
Johnny, who is at present q member of
the Hoya gridiron squad, Is out for the
Hilltop Freshman eleven. Like his
brother he is halfback, and 1t may be
that the Blue and Gray will have

next season.
Though weighing only las pounds,
the younger Bozek, who came to George

He also is a capable basket ball and

behind closed gates.
More speed is the dry of Rockne and
his assistants as they attempt to whip
the six newcomers in the line into the
system that has carried the Rockne-
trained teams far in the past. The Notre
Dame mentor has set about the task OIL
finding three sets of ends. Five wing
men received monograms last year, a1t'
of the five four were graduated, leaving
only John Colerick.
The first scrimmage was held yester-
day and the action of the regular squad
against the reserve eleven was none too
pleasing to Rockne. Jack Nannon, lead
ing candidate for guard position, was
not included in the regulars, as he has
an injured foot that will slow him up
for about week. Jack Elder. outstand-

ing grcomed in kicking and passing to
replace Johnny Niemiec at left half

The hunt for more and better line
men S still going on in the Western
Conference, with several Of the coaches
inserting their backfield candidates into
the line in hopes of building a strong
forward wall.
Scrimmaging has started In most OF
the camps but Fielding Yost is holding
off from sending his 200-pounders
against each other at Michigan.
Pat Page, who deserves five eleverls, is
still crying for more men at Indiana.

~ RINCETON, N. j., September 20.
Bill Roper, master in the
; ;clsd ., s spt =, f00 s,d Sa has
champions the 1.-THE young ath-
letes who wander down to Princeton In
the Fall. This year he's none too sure
that he won't be broken of the habit.
Yearly, when the tang creepS into the
September air, Bill calls the young men
of Princeton around him. Sometimes
there is weight. speed, power and, best
of all, experience. Sometimes there's
lust numbers. But always, despite wor-
riSome reports, the old grads calmly
order their tickets for the late Fall
classics, confident that the Princeton
Tiger will again be clawing at the
championship gates before Thanksgiv-
ing rolls around. Rarely, indeed, has
Bill failed them.
Faces Big Problem.
This time Bill Roper has a definite
problem on his hands, one bit DIFF
ferent from any he has tackled IN re-
cent years. He has weight, speed, pow
err and experience, but in such small
quantities that when it is spread out
as far as possible there is just enough
to go around.
He hasn't even numbers. When the
Tiger marshals full eleven men on
the field this Fall, there will be very lit
tie of weight, speed, power and expert
ence left sitting behind on the bench.
Last Fall great sophomore, Ed
Wilmer, stormed into Roper's backfield
to make" the team. He had in Mike
Miles one of the finest defensive backs
in the country. Earl Baruch stepped
into the quarterback role to pass, kick
and think his way to equal ranking
with any field general in collegiate
ranks. It was a combination that wore
well.
Baruch has left college along with
"Red" owen, a fine fullback substitute,
but the remainder Of Roper'S young
stalwarts are back. Phil Strubing can
step into the quarterback post, but only
Holmes Bennett, prospective Wittmer
from the Sophomore ranks; Scarlett,
Jones and the fleet but fragile Requardt,
seem capable of first string work.
With this backfield, the Tiger must
face a schedule one game more rugged
than last year, between october ~ and
November "a, Princeton must battle
Cornell, Ohio State, washington and
Jefferson, Yale and Navy in that order.
1t has been many, many years since a
Nassau eleven, shooting its all against
the Eli, has had to turn and face a
team of Nays caliber. Usually the
Tiger helps himself to a Bulldog hide
or goes down to glorious defeat and
calls 1t season anyway.
The line prospects at Princeton are
not calculated to tighten the tension
round the building of this new Tiger
team, Captain Chuck Howe must switch
from center to fill guard berth. Bill
