TROJANS MAY SEEK
CONTEST WITH NAVY

LOS ANGELES, December 5 P).-
Gwynn Wilson, general manager of the
University of Southern California, was
en- route today to South Bend, Ind, to
confer with Coach Knute Rookne and
Notre Dame officials regarding the 1929
foot ball meeting of the two institu-
tions.
Wilson's trip was made necessary by
the hurried departure of the Notre
Dame coach after Saturdays game here.
1t had been expected that details of
next years contest would be ironed out
here this week, but Rockne received
word that his small son Jack was i'll
and entrained Immediately after the
game.
Denial was made by Trojan officials
last night of the report that Notre
Dame would not be on Southern Cali
ton to be ironed out is the place where
the game is to be played. they said.
Southern California asks that the
contest be played here. rather than in
Chicago, where present plans call for
it to be staged, as the Trojans have but
one outstanding home game on their
1929 program-that with California.
1t was said that in the event Notre
Dame cannot come here for the game
Wilson will endeavor to line up some
outstanding Eastern or Midwestern
team for the Coliseum here
It was recalled that Wilson was East
some time ago in an effort to sign the
United States Naval Academy for a
1923 post-season clash Navy author
tiles at that time said their schedule
was full for this year, but that they
would be pleased to consider the pros
pect of game with Southern Cali
fornia in the future.
It was thought likely that in the
event he is unsuccessful in getting
Notre Dame to come West Wilson would
resume negotiations with Navy.

FOURTH OF GRIDMEN
FIGURE IN SCORING

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 5.-There are
about 80 men to college foot ball team
and a glance over the records would
indicate that about one-fourth of them
at one time or another get into the
scoring summary
Statisticaily speaking, the 10.398
points that were scored by 95 Eastern
colleges this past season were divided
among 758 players. To reduce these
figures to an average, it is seen that
each of the scoring players tailed on
the average nearly IA points each and
that the average number of scorers to
the team was seven.
They talked about the Army having
a one-man attack built around Chris
tian Keener eagle, but the records show
that the red-headed captain-elect had
this year. AS a matter of fact, Murrel
was the best point-getter on the Army
squad, with six touchdownS to show
for his efforts.
The Army's total of 18, shared with
Drexel, was the highest in the East.
Boston College and Georgetown each
had II men in the scoring summary
and Holy Cross had 16.
Fourteen men did the point-making
for Pennsylvania, Gettysburg, Dart
| mouth ST. Johns of Baltimore and
| Springfield. Schuylkill, Colgate and
Temple had 13 each and Carnegie and
the Navy, IL.
New York University, with the in
| dividual leader in Ken Strong, had
| only eight men to help the big halfback
I in scoring the Violets' SIG points, and
Gulick. runner-up in the East to Strong,
had only four assistants at Hobart.
Four men scored Haverfords IS points,
So of them going to Trip, star half
| back.
The 95 teams scored on an average
of 109 points this year. Trinity and
Bates didn't help that average any.

Though Gonzaga, on the basis of its
more impressive record SO far. rates a
favorite to win Saturday, Dewitt will
take the field with its lineup strength
ened by players who have been out
since the first of the season as the re-
suit of injuries. Bill Gilbane, IT'S
pound halfback; Bob Gallagher, end
and center, and George Waddell. 190-
pound end. are the boys who will be
back on the job after laying off since
the seasons beginning. Gilbane and
Gallagher are regarded as virtually
certain to start. while Waddell may also
get in the game. Both Gilbane and
Gallagher plan to enter West Point
soon.
While Dewitt is pinning its hopes on
the improved physical condition of its
squad GonZaga followers are somewhat
concerned over the condition Of Bus

regulars, and Healy, reserve tackle, who
are suffering from heavy colds, con-

take Bussink's place, and Holbrook will
be at Dunnington's post if the regulars
cannot start.
Woodward and st. Adams schools
have been invited to enter the recently
organized prep school basket ball league
here. Georgetown Prep has announced
it cannot take part in the league while
Emerson is uncertain as to whether il

and GonZaga are the teams now def
nitely in line.
Eastern and Tech will meet October
18 in the opening match of the 1925
public high school foot ball champion
ship series. This game decided the
title this Fall.
Central and Tech will stage their an

STRONG G. u. TRACK
TEAM is INDICATED

Indications are. that Georgetown Uni
versity will be represented by a strong
track team the coming season.
Among those upon whom Coach John
D. O'Reilly is counting heavily are Capt.
Eddie O'Shea, star quarter-miler; John
Cranley, sprinter and quarter miller;
Jerry German. middle distance perform
er; John Carney, miller; Leo Sexton,
crack all-around man. Carl Wilder
muth, 60-yard indoor champion; Dave
Adelman, indoor intercollegiate shotput
titleholder; Larry Milstead, half miller,
and Eric Kjellstrom, hurdler.
Starting next Fall, American Univer-
sity, to keep pace with its growth will
have full-time director of athletics.
This post probably will be offered to G.
Baillie Springston, the present coach of
various sports at the Methodist school,
but whether he will accept it is not cer-
tain because of pressure of outside busi-
ness.
There now are $50 students, about
half OF whom are boys, on the American
u. rolls, whereas there was a total of
only 80 when the school was reorganized
in 1925.

Most Grid Injuries Blamed
On Poor Physical Condition
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ RINCETON, N. j., December s.
- Poor physical condition and
easing up are the causes OF
l. most serious foot ball injuries
according to Keene Fitzpatrick,
veteran trainer of Princeton and Mich
igan foot ball players. For properly
trained men foot ball is not danger
Gus game, he believes, and most fatal
injuries can be traced back to the fact
that the men played when they were
not in shape to stand the hard knocks.
Discussing the many foot ball fatali-
ties this season. Fitzpatrick said that
the greatest cause of accidents was due
to starting scrimmage too early in the
season before the players were ready
for the battering. The other time when
accidents are common, according to a
unique theory he holds, Is just before
the big games when players go through
scrimmages, but try to save themselves
as much as possible.

much easier to hurt than one who Is

of the Californians acquired a
healthy respect for one Christian

MY teams now have played against

STAR" ruminated the old fox of the
coaching game. They're a couple of
great players, no mistake.
Carroll is bigger and heavier, but
eagle is niftier. Carroll is a great
straight-ahead runner and eagle is
probably better in broken field. The
Washington player is the kind that
| never loses ground. You can always
count on him to make a gain of some
kind, but probably eagle could do the
same under similar conditions. The
Army back takes more chances.
(Which would I rather have on my
team?"

ment and then replied, well, guess
I'd take Cagle."
