JOHNNIES TO LIMIT
PRACTICE TO ATTACK
Will Have No Scrimmge Prior to
Maryland Tilt, but Aim to
Perfect Plays.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, october IA
Starting this afternoon its preparation
for the game with the University of
Maryland, to be played at College Park
Saturday, the st. Johns squad, accord
ing 10 Coach Todia Riggs, will not
scrimmage at all during the week, but
will direct its work toward perfecting
and increasing the speed of its rum
ming attack and bringing its passing
plays to the highest point of accuracy.
With such small number of reserves,
particularly in the line, Riggs does not
dare take the chances Of injuries. His
team has scrimmaged but twice this
season and Coach Riggs does not ex-
pect it to do so again. I'VE hold all Of
our scrimmsges Saturday afternoon"
the Johnny mentor said.
Riggs will make up his backfield with
Willis Lynch. Cassasa, Armacost and
Dulin, and he has good reserves in
Bob Lynch, McCartee, Nassauer, Moore
and Bales.
The first string Is fast skillful and
experienced aggregation and may be eff
fective against Maryland The line is
fairly light, but made of up fighters.
Riggs said that his team was badly
battered in the game Friday night
against Western Maryland. 1t received,
however, no incapacitating injuries and
after three days of rest should be in
shape for the light practice which will
be the limit during the present week.

NAVY LOOKING AHEAD
TO NEXT TWO GAMES
Grid Squad, Little Shaken by It's
Defeat at Notre Dame, Primes
for Duke, Princeton.

ANNAPOLIS, Md october A.
After comparative rest yesterday
the practice period being given to oral
instruction, the Naval Academy foot
ball team will start this afternoon to
get ready for Duke, which plays here
Saturday, with a look ahead to the
Princeton match to be played at Prince
ton the following Saturday.
Navy coaches and players, stung by
the defeat by Notre Dame Saturday,
the worst since Bill Ingram assumed
charge of foot ball here in 1926, are
determined to work harder than ever
for victory in the remaining big games.
An excellent chance Is presenting it
self in the next two games.
Duke, according to. Frank Foster,
squad B coach, who secuted that team
against Davidson Saturday, has an
extremely fine running game, but does
not make great use of the pass. Prince
ton, on the other hand, is expected to
deliver a series of varied and deceptive
passes. In spite of the terrific pace
set by the burly Notre Dame backs, the
naval team came out of the fray with
out an injury. Al Gray. regular right
guard, did not enter the game, con-
trary to published reports, as he was
suffering with a muscle bruise obtained
in practice Saturday.
Those who accompanied the team
praise the hard fight waged by every
Navy player and point to the fine
handling of punts by kim and Bauer
Navy backs.

In the Princeton trophy room there
are relics that ten of the old battles of
melodrama that are not staged any
more. Or is this really true? Perhaps
there is quite as much melodrama in
the new game, only it is not so easily
understood. These old grads of Prince
ton look back through rose glasses. But
then they always will hold that when
they do look back they have something
worth while to look back upon.
Perhaps there are other Poes and
Bakers being developed, though we do
not recognize them. They must be be-

nRINCETON is noted for large re-
unions. and one of the reasons
why they are large reunions is
that Bill Bill Edwards seldom fails to
attend. Big Bill Edwards is the largest
graduate, the most colossal alumnus,
ever turned out by any university.
1t is refreshing sight to see Big Bill
Edwards holding a class reunion in
Palmer Stadium before the Yale game.
This is his favorite date for holding a
reunion. At the crack of the gun Mr..
Edwards starts out at the head of the
parade from the cannon and descends
upon the stadium When he starts
all of those in the stands are
aware of it. The concrete stadium
trembles to his martial tread.
Then Large William bends and comes

CHICAGO, october 14.-The latest

of Sweetland from the Philadelphia
Nationals, for whom the southpaw
worked during the past three seasons
The deal was strictly cash, and while
Veeck did not reveal the amount in
volved it was reported that the Philly
treasury is $25 900 better of.
In announcing the purchase of
Sweetland, who won six games and lost
10, according to unofficial figures for
1880, Veeck said the deal was the first
move toward bolstering up the pitch
ing staff" He did net say who might
be the next hurler purchased, but more
reports said Rogers Hornsby wanted
another hurler whose contract belongs
to the PhillieS.
The name of Pinky Whitney, Philly
third baseman, has been mentioned in
connection with the Cub strengthening
plans. Veeck also declined to comment
one way or the other on this report
Sweetland, who is 90 years old, had
his best major league season in 1929,
when he won 10 games and lost II with
the Phillies.

"a Western Maryland will have
" v couple of new plays for
the big game of the season
against Georgetown at the Baltimore
Stadium on Saturday.
Dick Harlow. coach of the Green
Terrors, said today that ne had worked
out few special plays for the Wash
ingtonians. All of which means that
Coach Tom Mills Georgetown eleven
had better be al eyes when it tackles
Western Maryland for the second
straight year.
When Harlow says special plays
that's just what they are. Last year
he doped out few for this game, held
in Washington, and won. to 0.
Despite the fact that Western Mary
land participated in difficult game
last week against St. Johns College,
Coach Harlow scheduled a scrimmage
session for today. 1t will be the only
one this week.
Western Marylands players came
out of the st. Johns contest without
injury.
Virtually the same team that started
the game last Friday night will take
the field Saturday at the Baltimore
Stadium.
Seven of the players who are slated to
open proceedings this week end were
in the struggle last year. The missing
men are Ravens, center, who was such
power in the middle of the line: Com
SAX, the plunging fullback; Baker, a
Woodworking end, and Weisbeck,
guard Besides this group the two men
who substituted in the 1929 game are
also missing, OLear, tackle, and Engle,
end.
Captain Bates, end; Pincura. the 210-
pound tackle; Bill Barnett, husky
guard Wilker, rangy tackle, are the
linemen who'll be meeting Georgetown
for the second straight year, while in
the backf1eld Ekaitis, quarterback;
Doughty and Wellinger, halfbacks,
played the full game last Fall.
Taking Gomsaks place will be Hoppe,
190-pound fullback, with worlds of
plunging power. Hoppe was a team
