have his former battery mate
as a fellow pilot next season.
Street earned national fame
as the first man ever success
fully to essay the arduouS task
of catching a ball tossed from
the Washington Monument, but
it was as Johnson'S catcher
when the latter first became
established as a major league
box star and possessed all his
burning speed that Gabby
earned his greatest renown.
Quite a number of accom-
pliShed mittmen, including
John Henry, Eddie Ainsmith,
Pat Charity and Muddy Ruel
teamed up with. Johnson dur
ing the two decades he starred
on the mound for the Nationals,
but, according to Barney him
self, none was the superior of
Street in the mechanics of
catching when he was at the
top of his game.
Street has had a varied
career since his connection with
the Washington club ended
with the arrival of Clark Grit
fifth as manager here in 1912.
He has seen much service as a
pilot in the minors and has the
distinction of never directing a
team that finished out Of the
first division.
His many friends in this city
wish him we'll in his new ven-
ture and are sure to pull for
him in his effort to land st.
Louis high, in the National
League race.

THAT Uncle Sans service
schools ultimately will
reconcile their differ
4 ences and resume ath-
letic relations is a foregone
conclusion, but that this will
come to pass in the near future
seems extremely unlikely, in
view of the failure of the con-
ference here yesterday between
the cabinet officers represent
ing the War and Navy Depart
mentS and the commandments
at West Point and Annapolis.
Assurance that the breach
which now prevents meeting on
the grindiron of Americas fu-
ture generals and admirals will
be healed is found in the
fact that public demand Will
force it.
Of the many foot ball classics
staged annually each Fall none
possesses the color and back
ground of Army and Navy
games; none carries the appeal
to the country at large of the
battle between the institutions
representing the armed forces
of the Nation.
Not even a series of contests
between squads representing
the cream of the college world
in far-hung sections can COM
penSate for the loss of the
meeting between . the Cadets
and Middies, and so intent is
the public on having this choice
athletic morSel that its reSump-
ton is as certain as that dawn
will follow darkness. but up to
this point no answer has been
forthcoming to the question.
"Why not now?" which follows
the assurance Eventually"
without any attempt to go
into the merits of the con-
troverSy which caused the
division it is obvious no prog
reSS can be made toward bridg-
ing 1t until the subject Is ap-
preached with a give-and-take
spirit on both sides, a condi-
tfon notably lacking in the con-
ference held here yesterday:
Army's proponents cite the
fact that the games were
ended after the 1927 contest by
Navy's refusal to play under the
terms of contract already
agreed to, and to date the only
suggestions for concessions
have come from Navy.
Under the circumstances, a
mutual compromise is the only
solution short of an absolute
surrender on one side or the
other.
The people will be satisfied
for the row to be adjusted on
that basis, or any Other, but
they will not be satisfied until
it is settled, and unless this Is
done within a reasonable time
pressure of "big stick" proper
lions may be looked for.

To the older generation of

In a signal practice which preceded
the dummy scrimmage. Meehan divided
the candidates into four teams and kept
the groups moving at brisk pace, IN
which all types of Violet formations
were rehearsed.
The scrimmage session, which lasted
for almost an hour, offered the squad an
opportunity to get accustomed to hand
ling a wet ball and running on slippery
turf. Meehan recalled that 1t was a
rain soaked ball on wet field that
played part in the undoing Of the Vio-

year.
The varsity showed much improve

IL foot ball history tomorrow. All
the Stenogs have to do Is to
beat Central, to be met in public high
title game in the Central Stadium at
$3.50 o'clock.
No one gives Coach Lynn Wood
worths charges a chance against Ty
Rauber's Blue and White huskies. And
there certainly appears to be no justin
cation for giving the Stenogs chance.
Business foot ball squad, never over
small, and while imbued with plenty of
fight, can hardly hope to cope with
Centrals formidable eleven, which gave
Tech the most desperate sort of bat
Ting before succumbing last week, 6
to IL.
Last season Central defeated Bust
ness, 10 to 0, and If the Stenogs can
hold the Blue and White total to that
number they will be considered as haV-
ing made highly creditable showing.
Western recently drubbed Business, Al
to 0.
Business plans to begin the game with
Linwood Jones and Hazelton at ends,
Levy and Willard at tackles, White and
Plant at guards, Shapiro at center,
Lester Jones at quarterback, Biondi and
johnson at halves and Bill Duryee at
fullback.
There has been talk that Central may
start its second stringers but, whether
It does or not, Business hopes Of victory
are slim.

ing everything on the outcome Of one
game, as Princeton does with Yale. And
1t is better than an even chance that
Ready makes good what he started out
early in the year to do. Marines have
been coming along gradually and will
place against the Coast Guard the
best combination in the best shape
they have had or have been in the
whole year so far.
Gallaudet Has Chance.

versity, and probably will. AS matter
Of fact, it would not be surprise TO
anybody else If the Kendall Green men
surprised themselves by winning. Gal

are too modest about their team. II
the Kendall Greeners take the field in
good physical condition they ought to
stand at least an even chance for VIC
tory.
George Washington goes to Williams
burg to meet William and Mary and
probably will take beating. The Buff
and Blue seems to have little to war
rant an opinion JnaC IL mas even an
outside chance to win. The team at its
best had little material and now is
crippled to such an extent that its posi-
ton in game with a good eleven is
almost hopeless.
Concerning the Virginia. Maryland
game at College Park, it is interesting
to note the change in attitude that
even one week may make in foot
ball squad and those connected with it.
Take Virginia, for instance. Two weeks
ago the Cavaliers felt that their game
with the Old Liners was in fair way
to be something of a set-up, as Mary
land seemed to be just stumbling along.
Then week ago along comes Maryland
and puts up whale of a game against
Virginia Military Institute, and Virginia
instead of looking for set-up settles
down to prepare for a grueling battle.
Said Virginia man this morning: 1.-TWO
Or three weeks ago we watched Maryland
play and figured that we would have a
chance for letdown, but the situation
has altered. Maryland has come along
rapidly and now looks good enough to
give us or anybody else a real battle,
at least, it looked good enough last
Saturday at Richmond"

to reach a basis for resum1ng athletic
relations between the two service acad-
emies was not at all surprising to
those who were familiar with the under
lying attitude which obtains at West
Point and Annapolis.
The one hope Of solving the difh-
Guilty would have been for the Secretary
to have issued mandatory order Tor
the two institutions to get together.
But, very correctly, the writer thinks,
these high officials decided that the
matter Of athletic relationship was
purely an academic one to be settled
by the heads of the two student bodies.
1t is likely that President Hoover
will see eye to eye with ms two cab
met members in this despite congress
entirely disinterested in the way OF
sport.
AS the situation stands, West Point
cannot organize foot ball elevens quail
fed to meet the highly attractive sched-
ules arranged each year unless she is
able to pursue her own policy as to
eligibility. It may be that the quail
ity of high and preparatory school ma
terial which flows to the Navy is SUI
perior to that which comes to the
Army. In any case foot ball at An
napolis seems to flourish under present
conditions.
It is a fact that Army undergrad

meet the Navy in foot ball and other
games and finds certain loss of Zest in

the academy authorities at West Point
are concerned the only arrangement
which will bring the Army and Navy
together is one in which each institu-

KENTUCKY AND CENTRE
END SPORT RELATIONS

DANvILLE, KY, October 81 (R.-
Centre College and the University Of
Kentucky have, by mutual agreement,
can-eled athletic relations that were
booked for the coming Winter and
Spring.
/, The action came as result OF the
announcement that Kentucky had de-
cided to leave the Centre off its 1880
foot ball schedule, severing relations
that have continued since 1891. Ken
lucky wishes to play more Southern
Conference schools in 1880.

crown its efforts with success.
Georgetown leaves tonight for New
York, where it is to meet New York
University in its big game. The Blue
and Gray is in good physical condition
and probably will get away with a far
better game than most local people ex-
pect. Coach Lou Little has little to
say about the contest, other than that
he believes his men have it in them to
accomplish great things If they put
forth their best efforts and play up to
the standard of which he believes them
capable. New York University is not
as strong as it was a year ago, ap-
parently. while Georgetown is almost
the same team it was then. George
town won last year. It may not win
this year, but it probably has better
pre-game chance and outlook now than
1t had then.

ends. Both Norris and Heagy have bad
bruises, and may not be able to play.
If Heagy cannot play, his place will be
taken by Pease, and If Norris is out his
job will be filled by Berger or possibly
by shift of Lombard from tackle. II
Lombard goes to end his place will be
taken by Fisher, otherwise the lineup
