team purrs similar to the
IL motor of a Baby Austin be-
ing tuned for tardy Gus
toner.
1t is a pocket-sized Dartmouth
tfor machinelike playing, but
there's gold in them thar hills
just the same.
This kid eleven huns Sweetly and
smoothly in practice. But I'll bet a
head of lettuce that when the bugle
blows there's a flutter in the backfield
and the sweet drone of the LandOn ma
chine is disturbed by the pyrOtechnics
of an individual.
I have just been glimming the func-
tioning of the Landon machine upon
Tidal Basin field, as it drills for COM
bat with another motor smooth OUTFIT
Coach Middleton's st. Adams eleven.
There were a half dozen other Juvenile
squads down there on the Basin fields
popping away at practice, but the ryth-
metic sing song of Coach Bob Mac
Cartee's advice to his players, and the
silent, smooth drilling of his pupils was
a beacon.
1t is the object of every coach to turn
out grid machine, where players go
down the boulevard hand in hand. But
it is more than an object with Landon's
tutor He sees in the inSistance OF team
work a means of combating the loss of
stars. And his method works because
Landon has won two out of three and
tied one game.
But out of this machine Is at least
three mighty smart youngsters who are
going to move on into college foot ball,
no doubt, to show that even a machine
team can produce individual talent.
There is Bill Baker, for instance, a
quarterback.
Baker showed me in practice that
he can step with any of the boy elevens
in this precinct. He is a rangy young
ster packing only las pounds, just
enough to give him speed without bur-
den. He can leap down through a
broken field and waggle on to touch
down with any of them. And he can
kick splendidly. Add to this ability to
block and tackle and you have a boy
who will appear mighty nice in col
lege suit.
Both Coach MacCartee and Head
master B. L. Banfield of Landon speak
enthusiastically of Baker. They say he
has shown plenty of ability and keen
brains in all games this season. He was
always ready to take the ball over when
needed. In a recent game he broke
away for 75-yard run. In a previous
combat he galloped for 65 yards to do
the trick
Others who have watched this school
boy flash in battle are saying that he
can be placed up among the first half
dozen crack scholastic backs in the Dis
trict.
It Is Bill's last year at Landon, as is
the case with most of the team. Mac
Cartee will have a tough old task next
season. But it is meat and gravy for
him this semester.
Although Baker is a luminary among
the secondary there are three other boys
back there who are doing plenty OF
plugging. Cuvilier, for instance, is o
streak at a halfback post He is fast
and can be depended upon to streak
away II the field is opened for him.
Baker cannot match speed with Ca
viIier, but he gets farther down the
field, II Is explained. Baker Is the type
Of player wiz moves At . steady pace

/ rather than in bursts of speed. As
Gil DObie of Cornell says Of his ace
back, FerrarO, "He Is not fast, but
some how he just keeps going down the
field" can be applied to Baker.
But when the flash Of speed is needed,
Cuvilier supplies it.
Hopper, another halfback, is a hard
plugging youth, with a lot of punch on
the defense. He can block and tackle
splendidly. At the fullback position is
Seccombe, 170-pounder with a lot of
power. He can let loose for the line
and keep going.
Landon's line is just $3.50. It Is a
courageous scholastic wall, but green
and experimental in several spots 1t
lacks polish and Is strongest at center,
where Riley, a former tackle, has been
moved in to plug up the gap.
Sands and Gillis are the regular ends,
with Martinez, a 120-pounder, in re-
serve. The wings are fast and can get
down to cover pass fairly well.
Andrews and Bride are at tackle. Both
are light, even for a schoolboy team,
particularly District scholastic eleven.
Edwards and Becker are running
guards, the latter weighing about I57
pounds, carrying more weight than any
other member of the forward wall, with
the executions of Riley, who is 185
pounds, and Gillis, the end, who weighs
165 pounds.
Landon's entire eleven is smaller in
stature and less in weight than most
of the Schoolboy teams in the District.
1t is nearest to the average high school
team proportions have seen to date,
Flanking the training of the varsity
on one of the Tidal Basin fields was a
group of youngsters around IL years
OF age, donned in foot ball regalia and
scrimmaging with the solemn studious-
ness of the bigger eleven.
These boys are the future varsity.
Like st. Adams, Landon gives its lower
form classes foot ball practice and
arranges also for games.
HeadmaSter Banfield tells me that
the interest shown by the very young
students is keen. These boys take their
games just as seriously as the bigger
boys and are very adept in absorbing
the fundamentals of the pastime.
This system has been in vogue at
Landon for only three years. Next year
the little 80-pounderS will turn over to
the varsity reserves a few youngsters to
prove that the system is going to mean
much to Landon foot ball in the future

NEW YORK. November 4.-Plans for
a sports pilgrimage from the Atlantic
seaboard to the tenth Olympiad at Los
Angeles next Summer have been dis
closed by James l.. Kirby, chairman of
the Committee of Arrangements of the
New York Athletic Club.
The journey to Los Angeles would be

Panama and Havana.
Associated with the N. Y. A. c. in
the plan, Kirby said, were the Crescent
Athletic Club of Brooklyn. the Boston
Athletic Club and the Penn Athletic
Club of Philadelphia.
A party of 800 is already in prospect,
Kirby said. with the likelihood this
number will be increased. The tour
would start from New York July "a.
arriving in Los Angeles July 80. The
return voyage would start from Los An

1882 quarterbacks. He's getting into
the game occasionally this season for
the experience that every Notre Dame
quarterback must have to become a
regular. Vejhar rated right along with
Orv Mohler, the Southern California
simeon, when in high school and will
still do things for Notre Dame. If
Vejhar gets going for the Irish the Los
Angeles Coliseum will be too small
for the crowd that will want to see
Larry and Mohler meet when the Irish
tackle Southern California a year
hence. Brancheau, Leonard, Banas and
a bunch of other backs will be around
to give competition to the others.
CCOUTS who have been following
- Notre Dame this Fall declare Kitty
German is just as good a center
as Tommy Yarr. Probably that's true.
There's always a good center ready
at Notre Dame. You will recall Bor-
ringer and Monyihan as two of recent
seasons.
Joe. Krause is going to be one Of the
great tackles of the game in another
season. He's one right now, for that
matter, but down at Notre Dame they
do not believe in boosting the stock of
sophomore too highly. But take the
word of Richard Hanley. Jock Suther-

Those persons who said last Spring
that Notre Dame would carry on this

from Rockne's tragic death and then
gradually drop to a normal foot ball
level were all wrong. Notre Dame is
going to be the same power in foot ball
for years to come.

Idaho Shift Is Grid Novelty
Play Devised by Coach Calland Makes Any Team
Member Likely Pass Receiver.

This year the quarterback Is only
-FOUR yards behind the line when the
shift IS completed, instead of six"
Calland explained.
This puts him in a spot where he
can work faster and more smoothly
IN spinners and similar plays. An
other variation is that every man on
the team now moves in the shift.
Before the shift the center is
out IN front over the ball, eight men
are along the line, and two are be-
p hind the line. A movement then
makes 1t possible to have any seven
men 60 up into the scrimmage wall.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ HICAGO, November 4--Well,
A sir, if you are one of those fell
~ lows who believe with ossie
Solem, the gentleman from
Drake College, that this years Notre
Dame team is the greatest of all Notre
Dame foot ball machines. save bit of
enthusiasm for next year-1932 AID.
1t is very difficult to imagine, even
with. triple-A imagination, a better
foot ball team than the Notre Danes of
1929, 1880 and 1881. But Heartily An
derson may have it next year.
Why and how? The answer is very
simple. Only five of the first and sec
ond team regulars-and there's really
no difference in them-Till receive
parchment passports into the world OF
business or coaching next June. An
derson will have an army OF veterans
back for 1882 and those Notre Dame
fellows improve with age and expert
ence.
d AIRING any scholastic breakdowns
- by his young men, Anderson prob
ably could give you the lineup
that will face the Haskell Indians in
the opening duel cf the 1882 campaign
right now if he desired. However,
Heartily likely would not wish to COM
NIT himself at the moment when he is
very busy attempting TO worry about
Pennsylvania, Navy, Southern Cali
fornia and the Army. We merely say
he could if he would.
But along about December Is Ander-
son probably will sit down in his cubby-
hole office and decide that backfeld
composed of Jaskwich, Sheeketskl,
Lukats and Melinkovich would be a
very elegant combination to show the
folks who come out to see the 1882
raiders open the campaign.
Will Mr.. Anderson be troubled about
his line? Mr.. Anderson will not. He
merely will write down Devore and Ma
hony, ends; Krause and KoZak, tackles;
Harris and Greeney, guards, and Cor
man, center; that being done, Heartily
can amble down to South Bend and buy
himself swell lunch.
THE graduation of Marchie Schwartz,
i Frank Culver Tommy Yarr Nordy
Hoffman and Bernie Leahy will OF
course be regretted. Halfbacks OF
SchwartZ's ability and centers like
Tommy Yarr come but seldom, and the
others were good. hard-working boys.
However. the fellow who remarked,
you're never so big but what some one
can fill your lob" must have been
watching the Notre Dame foot ball
team.
II is very probable that Nick Lukats
will fill Schwartz's boots at left half.
Rockne thought Nicholas was going TO
be one Of the best backs he ever
coached. and Rock seldom was wrong.
Necessity forced Anderson to shift
Lukats to fullback at the start of this
season and then the boy was injured in
one of the early Scrimmages. Since
then George Melinkovich, who halls
from Toole, Utah-honest, it's on the
map-has come along to make it i'm
possible for any one to even look at the
fullback position. Lukats is too rood
to sit on any teams bench and you'll see
him at halfback position.
