Associated Press Sports Writer.

A TLANTA, Ga, october II. -
~ There will be plenty of offensive
"A pyrotechnicS in the. Southern
4 L conference during the 1928 foot
ball season, but the versatile
stars will be banded, in most instances,
on five or six teams.
Georgia Tech, Alabama, South Caro-
lima, Florida and Georgia will have
most of the high powered backfield
men, with Tulane, Vanderbilt, North
Carolina, Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and one of two others next in offensive
cracks.
For sheer running power and all
around versatility the game cocks of
Columbia, the Tornado of Atlanta,
Crimson Tide of Tuscaloosa, Alligators
of Florida and Bulldogs of Georgia
seem to have decided edge. They
each have several real triple threat men
and a number of dangerous open field
runners and line plungers - combina-
tons that always carry team to the
forefront.
: To. survey briefly, a turn to the
Game Cocks is not aniss. Laval has
in Zobel, 150-pound halfback, one Ct
the greatest all-around stars in the
history of the Dixie gridiron. He can
punt well, pass brilliantly. take passes,
drop kick, kick from placement, run
with great speed and sidestep and re-
verse field, as we'll as back up a line.
C.. C. Beall, former preparatory school
star, who is one of the outstanding
passers of the conference and also runs
and punts.
Then there is Wimberly, plunging
fullback and player who picks holes
quickly.
Gain Against Yale.
Georgia's backfield gained more
ground than Yale last Saturday. The
veterans McCrary, Hooks, Dudley and
Johnston, with Will and Cook in re-
serve, form a wonderful secondary for
Coach Mehre.
McCrary, year ago, was one OF the
outstanding fullbacks of the country,
and the way he hit the Blue line a
week ago indicates he has lost none OF
his drive. Hooks, fast open-field man
and fine end runner, also can punt
and pass. Johnston is a fair ball car
rier, good interference man, one OF
the Soundest quarterbacks in the Con-
ference, while Dudley is fast and good
on defense. Hill puntS and passes well,
and Cook is another speedy halfback.
Brumbach, Cannonball Clyde Crab
tree, Owens, Bowyer, Cawthon and
Bethea give Coach Backman all the
versatility needed at Florida. =
Crabtree is one of the fastest and
Shiftiest ball carriers in the country;
Bowyer can pass put and run; Owens
is good on sitting through broken
field, taking passes and fianking ends;
Cawthon hits line well, and Bethea
is fast and smart sophomore.
Coach Wade undoubtedly has one Of
the greatest secondaries in the history
of the Crimson Tide. Deal, Brasfield,
Holm, Suther, Campbell, Hicks and
Vines are names to consider-all of the
first magnitude.
Deal, a newcomer, but apparently
possessing the qualities of rare quar-
| terback, can pass, run and punt; Bras
| field was one of the best of the ground
/ gamers, safety men, passers and punt

Kicking Is Not as Important
AS 1t Used to Be, Says Jones

Recent rules have increased the diff
ficulties in field goal kicking in that
the goal posts have been set 10 yards
behind the last line of scrimmage.
Furthermore, the rules committee has
decreased the hazards of the safety po-
sition, or man receiving the kicks, by
ruling that If a man receiving puntS
happens to tumble and lose the ball the
kicker'S side can recover it, but cannot
pick it up and run with 1t. Many
games have been won on one error
by safety player.
Lessen It's Value.
All kicking rules, then, in the last
decade, have lessencd rather than in
creased the value of kicking. Today
punting is more defensive measure
than an offensive weapon.
In my estimation, the rules commit
tee has acted wisely, because so much
kicking was not making the game
any too popular. Spectators didn't get
much of a thrill from watching a
couple of great kickers in action, plus
men running down the field waiting
to capitalize on one players error.
Followers of foot ball are continually
looking for spectacular features which
the forward pass and open formations
have brought about.
The tendency of the rules committee
has been to increase the value of team
play and minimize the extreme impor-
tance of the individual OF course, the
committee never will be able to make
rules that will entirely eliminate me-
chanical errors. but any tendency to-
ward making victory the result of team
play should be strongly encouraged.

ARRAY OF GREAT BACKS
ON GRID TEAMS In DIXIE

ers in the Conference last year; Suther
is a triple-threat man, and is one of
the most promising SophomoreS Of years
at the capStone; Holm is an expert
enced fullback, weighing around 179
pounds, and good on defense; Vines is
one of the best elusive runners; Hicks
is versatile, being able to catch passes,
throw them and run, while Campbell
is a good runner from any formation.
Partlow can punt consistently.
And as for Georgia Tech, Coach
Alexander has everything to be desired.
Thompson and Mizell, vetertan half
backs, are fine punters and ball car
rierS. The former Is good after touch
downs. Mizell is one of the smartest
of Southern backs and can do anything
necessary Bob Randolph, veteran full
back. is fast and hits line hard, while
Durant is an able quarterback. Dun
lap and Lumpkin Sophomores, give
promise of being on par with Mizell
and Thompson, while FaiSSt, another
veteran, can be counted on.
Other Clever Performers.
Other shining offensive lights of the
conference are Peake of Virginia Poly
technic Institute: Arn1istead Of Wander
bilt Foard, Ward and Whisnant of North
Carolina, Close and Sloan of Virginia,
Snyder, Roberts and Kesler of Maryland,
Barnes of Virginia Military Institute,
Banker of Tulane, the Walkers of Missis-

White and Thibedeau of Washington
an dice, Justus of Clemson, Pappen-
heimer of Mississippi A. and M, Hack
man, McEver and Witt of Tennessee,
Warren Of North Carolina State and
few others.
Louisiana State is being anxiously
watched for real test to see what
Coach Russ Cohen has at the Baton
Rouge institution
In this list the names of Barnes,
Armistead and Peake stand out, all are
great ball carriers, and the first two
are outstanding In every department
of play.
Armistead led the Nations point
scorers year ago, while Barnes always
gives his opponents trouble.

"The Spirit of v. M. t." which read:
Congratulations on great fight of Vir-
ginia at Princeton today from author
W. M. I. Spirit We hope to lick you
next Saturday, but whatever the result
it is good to see Virginia team coming
to its own again"
This is typical of the rivalry on the
athletic field that has existed so long
between Virginia and v. M. I. Grid
iron relations have been taken up,
broken and taken up again with many
other schools, but since the first foot
ball game in 1893 there have been few
seasons in which Cavalier and Cadet
elevens have not met.

MOHAWK'S BATTLE
HOLDING INTEREST
Clash With Baltimore Team
to Offer Comparison With
NorthernS.

Local sandlot foot ball fans will be
watching the outcome of Sundays
game between the Mohawk and Lans-
downe A. G. elevens at American
League Park with interest The out
come Of the contest will give the dope
sters some idea of the comparative
strength of the Hawk and Northern
elevens, as the latter team held the
Baltimoreans in scoreless tie on the
Lansdowne gridiron last Sunday.
Northerns, although not generally
rated on par with the Apache and
Hawk machines, are making plans to
give both of the Indian elevens battle
for the District unlimited title.
Coach Matt Heard of the Northern
squad is grooming his charges for a
clash with Mount st. Mary's Props at
Emmitsburg on Sunday. The school,
boys tumbled the Frederick A. C.. eleven
of Frederick. Md, last Sunday. count
ing touchdown in each quarter.
Northern players are scheduled to
drill tomorrow night at 1880 o'clock on
their regular practice field.
Reports from Baltimore indicate tina:
the Lansdowne club will be fortified for
the engagement with the Hawks. The
moral victory scored by the Northerns
last week left the Marylanders nursing
grudge which they hope to work of
on the Hawks. AS Sundays game is
to be played on a 60-40 basis, winner
taking the big share of the receipts, a
hard battle is expected.
Bill Supplee and Fred Linkous, for
mer Maryland grid stars and now the
mainStays of the Apaches, defending
unlimited champions, are well pleased
wit the Little Indian machine. They
were more than surprised at the high
caliber of foot ball exhibited In the
Norfolk Blue game last Saturday. Col
lege foot ball isn't so much faster than
that shown at Union League Park last
Sunday, they said.
Hagerstown Collegians of Hagers-
town, Md. will oppose Supplies eleven
at Union League Park Sunday
