Dick Hanley of Northwestern and

This game, now in its sixth year, has
become q real classic in San Francisco

Stadium. Navy Bill Ingram, when
coach at Indiana, led the first Eastern
squads, but when he returned to
Annapolis the task was turned over to
Hanley and Kerr. The Kerr-Hanley
teams have won the last two games, but
the series still stands three to two In
favor of the Westerners. :
The San Francisco game Is more than
an exhibition of seasons outstanding
players. Neither squad is permitted to
recruit more than three players from
any one school and both practice dill
gently for 10 days preceding the game,
so that good quality Of team play Is
developed.
Kerr and Hanley, both of whom are
followers OF the Warne- system of foot
ball, are real canny in selecting their
players for the trip. They secure as
many stars as possible from teams fol-
lowing the Warner style and when they
start practice at Palo Alto Friday they
can put IL men on the field who are
thoroughly taught in the same style of
odense.
This years Eastern squad Is not quite
as strong as the one Of last year, but
good enough to give q good account

A two-handed pass is more accu-

NNJ sport seems to be falling
V v by the wayside. Profess
Sionally it seems still to
be one Of the chief "rackets," but
IN the colleges, in the South espe-
cially, it is falling into distinct
disfavor. Gallaudet is the only
local to carry it on with any Sys-
tematic effort, while in the entire
South only five schools had teams
to send to a tournament held last
year at Virginia Military Institute.
Maryland carried it on last year as
o part Of its physical education pro-
gram, but not much is now being done.
Georgetown, George Washington and
Catholic University have never at
tempted to enter the sport, or, at least,
in recent years.
University Of Virginia for many years
was one Of the principal Southern
schools in which wrestling was recog-
nized as an intercollegiate sport and
in which good schedules were carried
out. However, there has never been
very much interest in it there and a

reached. Dropping the sport never
caused ripple on the surface Of Vir-
gtnia'S athletic program.
We dropped wrestling because there
was no interest in it at Virginia." says
Athletic Director Jimmy Driver, "and
We probably viii never again take it up.
Not only was there very little interest
In the sport, but We actually had diff
Guilty getting enough men out for it
~ anly -
schedules. We finally came to the con-
clusion that carrying a sport in such
o way was waste of money and not
worth while from any point of view."
Many Of the Northern colleges still
have comprehensive wrestling schedules,
but even in them it is not claimed that
there is any great interest in the sport
However, as form of physical educa-
ton, many think it is one of the best.
It has in it the element Of physical
contact, strenuous competition, and
brings into play all muscles. It would
certainly seem to be a sport that could
well be dovetailed into a system OF intra-
mural activities. although it apparently
IS too strenuous for the average college
man and requires more real effort than
the average college man desires to put
forth.

The injury, If it Is such, sustained by
Bird Hooper Of Virginia Polytechnic

nned TO Johns Hopkins Hospital is, in
deed, regrettable. II the state of coma
fnto which Hooper dropped last Sunday
p the result OF an injury, it certainly Is
Q peculiar one. The game in which
Hooper is said to have been hurt was
played 10 days before that, and it Is,
indeed, unusual TO have such an injury
show up 80 late, although not impossi-
bic by any means. Hooper is a good
quarterback and a fine chap, and those
who, as members of other teams played
against him during the season, will re-
gret his condition just as much as his
