NAVY IS RET|CENT
OF COACHING PLAN
Refuses to Discuss RumOI
That Ingram May Not
Return Next Fall.
NNAPOLIS December 2;

NNAPOlIS December 23.-Ath-
~ letic authorities at the Naval
~ Academy refuse to discuss the
rumor that Bill Ingram, foot
ball coach, would not return next sea-
son. Ingram is reported as being on
the West Coast. dickering for the posi-
ton as head coach at California, where
Nibs Price resigned after an unsuccess-
full season.
Ingram signed a one-year contract
covering the campaign of 1880 and is
reported to have asked for three-year
term upon its expiration. The Navy
authorities are said to have offered a
two-year document instead.
The coach is not at Caryel Hall, his
residence in Annapolis, but left his
home town, Jeffersonville, Ind, as the
only forwarding address, and also noti-
fed the hotel that he would return
after his trip West, a regular holiday
custom.
Migrants most successful season was
that of 1926, when the Navy was I'M
defeated and tied the Army in Chicago
in the final game.
This year the return of Army to the
Navy schedule in a charity game after
lapse since 1927 resulted in a 6-to-0
triumph for the Cadets, looked upon
as a commendable performance by the
Navy team, admittedly inferior.
Since they would not discuss the pos
sibilities of Ingrams terminating his
connection with the Navy eleven, the
athletic authorities naturally had moth
ing to say concerning probable sue

COUGARS

Coach Says They Have Both
OffenSe and Defense to
Offer Alabama.

HASADENA, Calf, December 3D.
- Washington States Cougars set
about sharpening their foot ball
fangs today with another prac-
tice session as their Crimson Tide OPP
ponents from Alabama swept westward
for the sixteenth annual Tournament
of Roses clash here New Year day.
The rangy lads from the Northwest
yesterday moved into Southern Cali
fornia. greeted by crisp weather, and
Immediately repaired to Tournament
Park for a workout.
Coach Grin Babe" Hollingbery was
not downcast by the fact Alabama is
favored. He pointed out his team went
through the season without a defeat.
Sure, we have a great defensive
team" he said, but what l can't
understand is why every one seems to
think we are a total loss on offenSe."
Our offense has been good enough
to win, hasn't it? We averaged about
25 points a contest this season. We
can pass, and I don't think any one
will outkick Carl Ellingsen."
Just to demonstrate, he set Filing
sen to punting, so, SIS, 60 yards. They
had lots OF altitude, two, those boots.
Then the coach sorted out his passers
and pass receivers and gave them some
aerial practice TO make his arguments
more convincing.
Alabama's special train is due here
late today after a 24-hour trip from
the Grand Canyon. The team stopped
there yesterday for a brief sightseeing
tour. No workout will be held today.
The Crimson Tide will set up train
ing quarters at Patterson Field, Occi-
dental College, tomorrow.

EASTERNS basket ball superiority
IL over Emerson persists. The Light
Blue walloped Coach Harley San
born's crew, A to 26, last night in their
first meeting of the campaign on the
Eastern court, before a crowd assem-
bled for the annual alumni reunion
at the Lincoln Park school. Last sea-
son the teams clashed three times and
three times Eastern was victorious.
In preliminary Eastern's colors also
were hoisted when the lightweight
quint of the Capitol Hill institution
defeated Central's little fellows, 25
to 10.
Central drubbed Woodward, So to 13,
on the Central floor, in another match
among ScnOlaStlc CUNTS.
Except for the first 5 minutes or so,
during which neither team scored, East
ern was ahead in last nights game.
The result was cheering to those who
are backing Eastern in the title series
opening January 8.
After Shapiro of Emerson finally
scored a goal from scrimmage, follow
ing the failure of both teams to get
the range the first few minutes. East
ern gained the lead, which it held the
remainder of the way. Coach Guyon
inserted second-stringers at the start
of the third quarter. Against them
Emerson showed to better advantage
and finally the Eastern regulars again
took the floor and promptly quelled
the foe.
Bill Noonan, center, was the stand
out in the Eastern attack with Is
points. Shapiro, a guard, a former
Eastern athlete, came through with IA
points for Emerson.
Bayliss and Hale for Eastern and
Hawkins for Central were leading scor-
ers in the battle of the lights"

LOS ANGELES, December 23.-The
gridiron struggle billed for next Satur-
day between Notre Dame stars and a
West-South eleven was given added
touch of color today in the announce
ment that airplaneS would be pressed
into service to bring to Los Angeles
Knute Rockne and jumping joe
Savoldi, to aid the Notre Dame aggre-
cation.
Rockne announced last night at the
Mayo brothers clinic in Rochester,

transportation to bring him to the scene
of the clash, although he will be max
ing his first flight. He will arrive Fri
day night, he indicated.
Savoldi, who after making a last
minute decision to enter the fray de-
parted from Chicago last night by train,
will change to airplane at Kansas City
in an effort to speed up his arrival.
The remainder Of the Notre Dame
past and present stars, already on the
scene, are going through stiff drills on
coliseum turf. Their opponents, under
the guidance Of Jimmie Phelan, Univer-
sity of Washington coach, practiced yes
terday on the same field, while the Irish
gridders went through their PAGES a
short distance away.
On the same spacious field third
foot ball machine, the North Dakota
Flickertails scurried through intricate
formations in preparation for their
Christmas day battle with the Los
Angeles flremen, a strong eleven.
Add to these aggregations either in
Los Angeles or its environs or soon to
arrive are the Washington State
Cougars and Alabama's Crimson Tide,
the pair of pigskin juggernauts that will
tangle on New Year day at the Rose
Bowl.
In the absence of Coach Rockne the
Irish machine Is being directed in its
warming up motions by Hunk" Ander-
son, able assistant of the famed Notre
Dame head man.

End Zone of 20
Yards Is Urged

\ MILWAUKEE, December % R.-
1V1 Coach Frank j. Murray of
Marquette's undefeated 1880
foot ball team would make more diff
ficult those famous shadow Of the
goal posts" defensive stands.
Murray believes the end zone-the
10-yard depth back of the goal line
should be raised to 20 yards to aid
the offensive team. He points out
that the present end zone Is COM
paratively easy for defensive backs
to cover against forward passes when
the offensive team is within the
5-yard line Adding another 10 yards,
he says, will give the offensive team
more opportunity to use the plays,
especially passes, which enabled it
to work its way to the 5-yard line.
Only seven points were scored
against Marquette last season, so the
idea was not generated by any I'M
fortunate experiences of his own, but
Murray says such a change would
help coaches avoid the reputation of
being poor offensive teachers, because
their teams happened to be stopped
in scoring territory.

Indoor Game, So Will Go
to Scotland.

IN AVE THOMSON, the popular
and f1ne-playing little pro-
- fessional at Washington Coli
and Country Club, is going
home to Scotland for a few weeks
Dave is to sail from New York Satur-
day for his home in Montrose, from
where so many fine golfers have come
and plans to return to Washington late
in February. Dave has not been home
in eight years and is looking forward
to visit to the folks.
There probably won't be many Of
the old faces left" Dave says. "Busi.
ness Is not so good In MontroSe and
many Of the boys / used to know have
turned golf professional and now are
in Che United States. But it will be
good to visit with the home folks once
again.
And here is something that is by
way of being almost secret. From
time to time, as Dave has busted him
self around the golf shop, repairing
clubs and what-not various individuals
have coaxed him into trying his hand
at putting on the one-hole putting
course he has made in the shop for
the pleasure of the members of the
Washington club.
Well, for time, Davie regarded 1t
as just so much recreation, but when
it began to get expensive, Dave began
to practice. And now, when one of
the boys in the shop is asked who is
the best putter on this practice course,
he replies without hesitation, Mr..
Thomson is much better than any one
else"
So it may we'll be that part of Davies
trip to Scotland has been paid for by
the dividends accruing from this little
practice course. It may be, and then
than held his own in these little indoor
golf tits.
Mrs. Frank r. Keefer, president Of
the Women's District Golf Association;
is looking forward to golf1ing trip to
Italy during the Winter and early
Spring. She has made reservations on
the Leviathan. sailing from New York
on January Is, and plans to golf in
Italy and France. Mrs. Keefer will
miss the annual meeting of the Wom-
that if she is reelected she will accept
the post. She will be back in Wash
ington in April.
Miss Elizabeth Brawner, who has
been secretary of the women's associa-
ton for the past year, is to tender her
resignation, and Miss Elizabeth Harris,
chairman of the Women'S Golf Com
mittee at Bannockburn, probably will
be chosen secretary.
