Three Scholastic Grid Squads
Are Well Advanced in Trai1iirle

Tech, Eastern and Central all will
play their first games September q.
Tech Is to meet Baltimore City College
at Baltimore; Eastern also will visit
the Monumental City to face Calvert
Hall, and Central and st. Johns will
clash in the Central Stadium. Emer-
son and Dewitt will swing into action
the following day, both on alien soil.
Emerson will engage woodbury. Forest
at Orange, Va, and Dewitt will hook up
with Mercersburg Academy at Mer-
cersburg, Pa.
It seems just now about certain that
Dewitt and GonZaga will not meet in
their annual foot ball game the COM
ing season. This game has for sew
eral years been a high spot of the
schoolboy gridiron campaign here. Con-
zaga served notice some time ago that
1t would not continue the game unless
Dewitt would agree to use an eleven the
quirementS exacted Of players used In
the public high school series.
According to Father John F. O'Hur-
ley, GonZaga director of athletics,
Dewitt expressed a willingness some
time ago to continue discussion of the
situation, but he has heard nothing
since. On the other hand, it appears
that Dewitt has just about given up
the idea of meeting the I Streeters,
having listed Central for a game Noe
venber q. This Is the annual post
season contest staged by the &C" Club
Of the Columbia Heights school.
Meanwhile Gonzaga is holding open
November 20 for post-season engage
ment. There was said to be some
chance Of scheduling Central for the
date, but as the Blue and White has
arranged the game with Dewitt there
seems little likelihood Of the elevens
getting together this season,

ARMY SCR|MMAGE
SLATED THURSDAY
Squad Has Devoted Time to
Observation-Disclosures
Is Main Worry.

w VEST POINT, N. Y, September
A/ 14.-Scrimmage is scheduled
wv to start for the United States
Military Academy foot ball
squad Tuesday, according to
the present plans of Capt. Bit" Jones,
head coach.
Development of Army attack plays is
far behind that of last year, and during
the next two week the cadets are due
for many heavy workouts In prepara-
ton for the Boston University game on
September %.
Since practice started the team has
learned a few simple line plays and
passes, none of which have been tested
against. the stiff opposition Army
scrubs always give.
New linemen who have attracted at
tention in dummy scrimmage, but have
still the acid test of big game or
even hard Scrimmage confronting them,
are Miller, Suarez. Spengler, Price,
Hillsinger, Coughlin, Simenson and
Trice.
Capt. Jones has hopes that these
players will develop to I'LL the inches
left vacant by Sprague, Hammack and
Hall.
While the center situation Is still
acute. Miller. Gordon and Lazar are de-
veloping. They are ell inexperienced
and in practice sessions to date are
none too accurate. Army has always re-
quired considerable from its centers
and the loss of Bill Hall, last years
aggressive snapper back" will be ma
terially felt,
Murrell will again be the mainstay
with the Army kickers and he is taking
long workouts each afternoon.
Lieut.. Red" Reeder, who was q star
kicker several wears ago. Is giving the
husky fullback the benefit Of all his
experience and Capt. Jones expects con-
siderable improvement this year.

GAME PLAYED
BY w. 81. SQUAD

LEXINGTON, Va, September IA
Coach Gene Oberst signaiized the close
of the two weeks of pre-school training
of his washington and Lee gridiron
candidates today by staging q regulation
game for the benefit of the student body
and faculty.
An even hour Of foot ball, during
which every man on. the squad played
on either the "A" or ''B" eleven, gave
fans taste Of the Fall sport.
Observers stated that the best ap-
pearing backfield combination in actor,
appeared to be that having Mattox or
Jacob at quarterback. Thibodeau and
Faulkner at the halfback posts, and
Barnett, the only senior member OF
the quartet, at full.
Other good bali toting lne-ups saw
Mellon and Mitchell performing at fun,
Harris, Eberhardt and Jones at the
halves, with Sandifer alternating, and
Stevens ct full.
While there appears to be q bountiful
supply Of good backf1eId material the
line situation Is not so bright although
far from discouraatng, ~

- ALLAUDET'S foot ball candi-
A dates are to get out in force
Y i Wednesday for the first time.
Seventeen gridders have been
getting in preseason training
on Hotchkiss Field since last Wednes-
day. The squad which turns out next
Wednesday Is expected to be consider
ably larger.
Outstanding players upon whom
Coach Teddy Hughes IS counting are
Capt. Johnny Ringle, crack halfback:
Alfred Marshall, another back; Konrad
Hokanson, quarterback; Bilbo Monag-
han, left end; Edwin johnson and Will
liam Grinnell, veteran linemen, and
Paul Zieske and Axel Carlson.
Capt. Ringle is in unusually good con-
dition. The husky Kansas boy has
been getting in heavy manual labor in
a steel factory at Flint, Mich, during
the Summer and has reduced his ex-
cess weight. Marshall, who developed
into q dangerous ball carrier last sea-
son, also is in fine physical trim.
Grinnell failed to duplicate his first
seasons brilliant work on the line last
Fall, owing to frequent physical ills,
but he has since undergone an opera
ton and declares he never felt In bet
C6T shape.
Leading newcomers include Boyce
Williams, Claude Hoffmeyer, Clyde Nc
Mullen, Seth Crockett, Allan Cron1-
matte and Hugh Stack. Williams is
outstanding in the group. He formerly
played high school foot ball in Wis
consin, and captained the Racine high
eleven for two years before he lost his
hearing. He will be groomed for full
back. He is an especially good drop
kicker, though he is good at forward
passing and executing end runs. He
weighs 165 pounds. Hoffmeyer was q
regular fullback on the Missouri School
for the Deaf eleven and promises to
give Williams plenty Of competition for
the position.
McMullen is out for q backfeld job,
Crockett is an aspirant for center.
Crommatte, husky from washington
State, probably will be groon1ed for the
line, and Stack is expected TO make

schedule will close with Oregon State
and Georgetown at Detroit.
Nebraska Should Repeat.
ship Of the big six last year, the first
season after the secession from the old
Missouri valley conference, probably
will retain supremacy. Ernest Bearg,
after four years as coach, has left to
direct athletics for his alma mater,
Washburn, and has been succeeded by
D. x. Bible, who made one Of the best
coaching records in the Southwestern
conference during his long regime rs
coach Of Texas A. and M.
Blue Howell and other outstanding
players are gone, but Nebraska has
plenty of reserve strength. The Corn
coin, and travel to Syracuse, ....
Missouri and Oklahoma, which tied
for second place last season, seem to
rank next to Nebraska, with the Tigers
probably shade the better. Missouri
will travel East to seek revenge from
New York University. which repulsed
the Tigers so decisively last season.
Kansas, where Coach Bill Hargiss
will begin his second season, has large
squad Of veterans, and figures for fourth
place. The Jayhawkers finished be-
low Iowa State last year, but have
more old players.
"Bo" McMillin's Kansas Aggies, who
did not win q conference game last
season, haven't much better prospects
now.
Outlook Of Others.
A close race is in prospect for the
championship of the Missouri Valley
conference-Drake Creighton, Grinnell,
Washington and Oklahoma A. and M.
Ossie Solem's Drake Bulldogs. who
won the championship last year, lost
few men. Nesbitt Is high-grade half
back. Chef Wynne's Creighton team
probably will be on the heels Of the
Bulldogs. Grinnell should have an
other scrappy eleven and be somewhat
stronger.
washington should be improved. DR..
AL Sharpe, beginning his second year
as coach, is taking Carnegie Tech to
st. Louis November 2 for an intersec-
tional contest. 49,.
Lynn Waldorf, former Syracuse guard
and line coach at Kansas, succeeds
Johnny Maulbetsch at Oklahoma A. and
M. which had a. poor season last year.
Marquette has lost good men, includ-
ing Gebert, halfback. but has fair
nucleus Of veterans and some promising
sophomore backfield material. Coach
FRANK murray Will have do iAie CoACn
"Tarzan" Taylor. former Ohio State
player and assistant coach. Boston
College, indicated IN 1928, will play
Marquette at Milwaukee November IS.
Patsy Clark's Butler team. which lost
only to Northwestern and Illinois last
year. has q fair outlook. Butler will
meet New York in the East and Ioyola
Of New orleans at home.
Ohio Wesleyan, which defeated Mich
igan and Syracuse last year, has q
veteran squad. The battling bishops
will close their season against the Army
at West Point November %.

BY SOL METZGER.

One Southern foot ball team we
saw in action defeated its opponent
~ to z In its big game without hav.
ing anything but q punt and O
prayer on attack. No, 1t didn't pick
up the other eleven's fllmbles, either,
as players were able to do until this
year. what happened was this:
They just outsmarted the other fell
lows when the other fellows hurled
forward passes.
Warner did that last Fall and
likely will this season. eagles pass
ing game for the Army turned out
to be a boomerang, for Stanford
men either knocked 'em down or
intercepted them and ran them
back. Now If you want to know
how passes by opponents are inter-
cepted and converted into touch
downs that drive the fans crazy
with delight, look over the gridiron
with me for moment.
Warmers scheme, as / have said,
Is to let the two ends rush the
passer. They 60 at him full speed
and make him throw the ball hur.
riedly. A hurried pass is never &C.
curate. Meantime the other i've
linemen back up. With the four
backs that puts nine men into the
receiving area. And as soon as the
ball is thrown these nine tear at full
speed for the spot it's going TO fall.
II one of them catches It the other
eight dash madly ahead Of him,
cutting down opponents. As the
other team is widely spread these
eight men, plus the two ends TO cut
down the passer himself, are mighty
apt to clear Q straight road to the
opponents goal. That's the trick
that makes such touchdowns pos
sible. :

G.. u, Eleuen Will Be Stronger
Than Last Year, Little Thinks

Auriel Trembley Is the soph who is
giving a fine account of himself.
Walsh and Driscoll and Cordoveno
were the regular guards last season.
and most likely will start off again.
Brickman and Homack, however. are
two soph guards who have shown up
well.
Two regular tackles. Liston and Capt
Jim Mooney, mentioned on several all
American elevens last year, are back,
with Katalians and Dubofsky, the two
best looking soph prospects, getting the
second call.
Only one veteran end remains for
this seasons team, that being Pro-
venical, a star of the first order last
season. Grennan, Parlette and Gefr-
niger are substitute ends who are bat
Ting desperately for that other wing
job. Then there Is Bill Mooney.

Foot Ball so Years Old;

Foot ball as an intercollegiate
sport will be so years old November
10. On that dass, in 1869, Rutgers
beat Princeton 8 goals to 4. Those
schools started foot bah about the
same time.
Two hundred followers raced up

There are no foot ball games
scheduled for November 10, the
games anniversary, this year but on
the following Friday and Saturday
probably $50 college and 1000 high
school games win be played to
crowds rotaling perhaps 100000
persons. And they'll all sit in up

One of the most tragic and sig nificant moments in the history of America will be dramatized this evening when a sketch, depicting the story of the Burr Hamilton dueI is radioed over the NEG system at 7:SO.
 The hot July morning when Aaron Burr met Alexander Hamilton or the Hudson river below Weehawke marked the continuation of months of political scheming and frustrated an ambition. Burr's plan of reach ing the presidency and the gover- norship of New York had been balk ed, so he thought, by the powerful. influence of Hamilton. who regard ed him as a dangerous man. Feeble allegations by Burr led to the affair of honor which led to Hamilton s death.
 The details of the encounter and the scheming which led up to It have been adapted into an original radio drama which comprehensively presents this page from history. WEAF and WTIC will receive the broadcast.
