The SkibOs will show q new
quarterback in the South Bend
Stadium whom Carnegie Tech
fans are haiIing as second
Howard Harpster. His name
is Goldberg, and even Judge
Steffen wakes enthusiastic
when he talks about this new
field general Of his.
Goldberg was O rank outsider
in 1929, but this fall he came
to the fore with q rush. He
has handled the Plaid with rare
skill in their early games, and
while he customarily leaves the
ballcarrying to the other mem
bers of the Tech backfield, he is
reputed to be quite a broken
field runner himself on the rare
occasions when he calls his own
numbers.
Karcis, the 2O0-pound giant
who made more than one dent
in the Notre Dame line in the
game at Pittsburgh last year, is
performing at fullback again
for the SkiboS and wreaking
great havoc in opposing forward
walls. The Tech behemoth gets
UP terrific momentum when he's
carrying the ball, and he does
a lot Of damage to an opposing
line when he SmackS a tackle
or end full tilt.
The Washington times., 1930-10-15

Carnegie Tech, however, with
most of its 1929 lineup back
again, has all the ear-marks OF
q championship team. The Ski
bos put UP a stubborn battle
against Notre Dame last fall, los
ing by the margin Of a single
touchdown. This year the mar
gin may well be the other way,
despite the fact that the Irish
too have q veteran team to send
against the Skibos.
Judge Wally Steffen, the Chi
cago jurist who takes off enough
time every fall to import some
of his great store Of gridiron
wisdom to the Skiho squad, has
q woodworking, versatile eleven
at his command this fall. The
drive which always features a
Carnegie Tech offensive Is pres.
ent once more, and the Plaid
also possesses q clever forward
passing attack which may not be
as strong as that which Southern
Methodist unfolded, but which Is
certain to be a constant threat
every time Eyth or Karcis fall
back to hurl a long toss down the
field.
The Washington times., 1930-10-15

However, I've found that a
good ball player II q good ball
player In any league, and ] In
tend to work ON that theory
for the time being. Later in
the fall I intend to confer fur
ther with Colonel Rupert
and Mr.. Barrow, and any
changes in the personnel Of
the Yankees will be decided
after that.
The Washington times., 1930-10-15

Southern Methodist, beaten
In the first game two weeks
ago, was . fine fOrward-pass-
ing team, but IL lacked . run
ming attack to make 1t . truly
great eleven. The Navy was
Just fair.
The Washington times., 1930-10-15

Some changes will probably be
necessary" Mccarthy added,
"since here in New York the pen
nant is the only goal. At the
same time I've taken over ball
club that is fundamentally power
full, and I'm sure that we will be
in position to challenge the Attn
letics when the 1881 season gets
under way.
That Mccarthy recognizes the
need for assistance and a meas
ure Of guidance in his early han.
ding of the Yankees is indicated
by his decision to invite Art
Fletcher to return to the Yankees
as his first assistant. Fletcher
knows the Yankees and he knows
the league.

The record Of his loyal
service to the New York club

put all his knowledge at the
