Washington Freshmen will meet at
o'clock in the preliminary.
In Washington and Lee Maryland will

six OF its contests and has piled up 3lS
points, an average of So to a game.
Aces of the Generals team, which
doubtless Is the strongest In the South
Atlantic collegiate group, are Williams
center. and Cox, forward, stars of the
past seasons freshman team. Veterans
play the other positions and there are
plenty Of formidable reserves.
When American University lines up
against the Navy tomorrow afternoon,
Elliott will be at one of the forward
posts and Field will be at center, filling
the places Of Forrest Burgess and Dave
Lichliter, respectively who will not play
because of the Navy rule which bars
first-year players on academy teams or
those Of opponents.
Capt. Jake La Favre will be at the
other forward job and Bruce Kessler
and Dutch Schloss will be at the guards
to round out the A. U. team. Field or
dinarily plays guard, but has shown
ability at center.
Capt. Jimmy May, star diver, will
head the well rounded Virginia SWIM
ming team that will invade the G. u.
tank tomorrow. 1t will be the opening
meet OF the season for both teams.
Tomorrow,s hoxinv cortast. with
West Point will be the second of the

will comprise Capt. Eddie O'Shea, Ed
die Hector, Jerry German and Ray
Whalen. The Hoya team was selected
yesterday as the result of time trials at

Whalen's selection was real triumph
for him. He had been absent from
varsity competition for q year and
some doubt was expressed as to whether
he would be able to get back to form.
Paul Casassa, washington boy, is
playing forward on the st. Johns Col
lege junior varsity team Of Annapolis.
He was selected by Coach GesSner to
start the opening games and has since
been playing regularly. He has been
shooting well and playing good de-

NURM|, AS USUAL,
IS AN EASY VICTOR
Phantom Finn Lopes Past a
Field of IL in 2-MiIe
Run at Newark.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, February lit is
not for nothing that they call
Paavo Nurmi the Phantom
i Y Finn" He's already made
three starts in his present
American running invasion and no rival
yet has come close enough to see him
finish.
It was the same old story at the St.
Joseph's Catholic Club games in Newark
last night. Running his first handi-
cap race of his 1929 tour, the great
Paavo oped his uncanny way past a
field of IL opponents in a special two
mile run to win by 40 yards. His time
of minutes 10 3-5 seconds broke no
records, but 1t was fast for all Of that,
considering the fact that it was turned
in over fiat, unbanked track at the
113th Regiment Armory.
Four years may have dulled some OF
Nurmi's dazzling sped and stamina, but
the fact remains that American dis
lance runners have their work cut out
for them II they are to remain within
hailing distance of the Finnish iron
man.
Giving away handicaps ranging from
rs to ITO yards, Nurni. running as
usual against his Stop-watch rather
than the field, passed his rivals one by
one, shot into the lead on the fifteenth
lap and won as he pleased. F. C. Bay
ley of the New York A. c., given IS
yard lead, was second and Irving Tot
ten, former Union College star, third.
Totten also received 75-yard hand
leap.
The 40 yards that divided Nurmi at
the finish from his nearest rival marked
his closest" victory of the season. He
won 3,0o0-yard race in the Brooklyn
College games several weeks ago by half
lap and a two-mile event in the Prout
Memorial games in Boston last Satur-
day night by three quarters of a lap.
Nurmi makes his next start tomorrow
night in a special two-mile grind at the
Boston A. A. games.

FIELD CHOICE LEFT
TO ANNAPOLIS MEN
Coach on Business Trip to
Capital Opposes Staging
Tilt In Baltimore.

~ RESPECTS Of o Notre Dame
- Navy foot ball game here next
Fall were frightened yesterday
4 by Knute Rockne, famous coach
of the Notre Dame team and
developer Of the renowned four horse
men of the gridiron, who spent some
little time talking over prospects of
bringing the annual clash between the
Midshipmen and South Bend huskies
here on october IL.
Rockne was the principal speaker
yesterday at the Mayfiower Hotel at a
luncheon of Studebaker automobile
Aalesmen. Power of organization and
value Of team work were stressed by the
distinguished visitor.
While 1t is left to the athletic officials
Of the Naval Academy to decide where
the Navy-Notre Dame game Is to be
played next year, Rockne indicated that
any suggestion he might have to offer
would be seriously considered. He is
not favorable to staging the game at
Baltimore again and is inclined to be
favorable toward 1t being held In Wash
ington, although he has serious doubts
as to how profitable it would prove here.
Material for building college ath-
letic teams moves in cycles" according
to Rockne in announcing that prospects
for championship grid team at Notre
Dame next Fall are not very bright.
I'VE haven't had any material from the
freshmen classes the past few years."
the prominent mentor stated They
seem to come smaller and dumber each
year. guess the tide will turn soon," he
said in a hopeful mood. Considering
the material available last year, Notre
Dame had successful season last year,
Rockne stated
Present foot ball rules are satisfactory, !,
according to the South Bend coach.
With perhaps few minor changes the
game would be about as perfect as pos
sible. he believes. These minor changes
are so slight that 1t would be unfair to
suggest them and possibly bring more
serious disputes into prominence, he
thinks.
