Smashing Exhibition
Breaking into action after only
a brief period of training, Monaco
made good with a smashing exhl'
bition of line play, proving far

on either team.
A native of Newark, N. j.,
Monaco first learned his football

Upon entrance at C. u, the big

Marine Coast Guard Grid Game To Be Battle
BIO 7 H TEAMS
). OUT FOR
BLOOD

When the Quantico Marines
face the Coast Guard Bears in
defense of the Presidents Cup at
Griff Stadium on Saturday a
typical interservice battle is al
most q foregone conclusion.
Service teams have long since
proved that no matter the style
of play throughout the season, no
matter the dope and comparative
scores, in an interservice game,
the picture is very likely to de-
generate into a straight fight.
The Bears expect their toughest
battle of the season from the
Marines. The Bears expect to
win. The Leathernecks expect
their toughest battle Of the sea-
son. The Marines expect to win.
They can't both be right.
Marines Have Fight
This Quantico team can and
will fight. They proved as much
against a Legion team in Phlla-
delphia. Stacked up against
Charley Rogers with Penn-Penn
State Swarth..lore Temple team
against them: an outfit that had
played together under Legion
colors for 10 winning professional
games, and four All-Americans in
the lineup, the Marines took a
terrific licking. But they had to
be beaten all the way. Marines
we're being carted off a la Cha
teau Thierry, but Lieutenant Bauer
was always in there throwing
passes that we're good for 40
yards.
The Marines we're always dan
gerous and they always had a
good chance against a team that
outclassed four ways from the
goal posts.
Marines Not Awed
So they are not awed by the
Coast Guards eight straight wins
over tough college teams. They
just can't be as tough as that
Philly Legion crowd" is the way
Capt. Peggy O'Neil, of the Ma
rines. sums it up.
The Coast Guard picture is
equally one of confidence. When
the Coast Guardsmen returned to
New London after their eighth
straight win some stay-at-home
rooter cracked:
Haven't you guys been beat
en- yet?" The reply was: Beat
en-? We haven't even fumbled
one yeti"
There are few unbeaten, united
teams in the East. The Coast
Guard is one of them.
Thus sums up the prospects for
Saturday and it ought to result
in what will probably be called a
FOOTBALL GAME.

VARIOUS STATES
SEEK TITLE
SCRAP
By LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The
much-discussed heavywei 6 h t
championship bout between Max
SchmeIing and Mickey Walker,
which has been bounced into four
different States by Dame Rumor
recently. kept right on bouncing
merrily today with Los Angeles as
it's most probable destination.
While various persons who
ought to know what they are talk
ing about were mentioning three
other sites, Joe Jacobs, manager
of Schmeling and the man who
will have the final say-So, insisted
that Los Angeles was in the lead.
Madison Square Gardens arena
at Miami, Fla, appeared to be let
out as a possible site when Louis
K. MacReynolds, chairman Of the
Florida Boxing Commission, fele-
graphed James j. Johnston, gen.
eral manager of the Garden Cor,
poration. that no match involving
a worlds championship can be
staged in Florida under a State
law, Johnston said he believed he
could get Schmeling restored to
good standing here and stage the
bout in the New York Garden this
winter.
Carey Likes Florida
Meanwhile William F. Carey,
president of the Garden Corpora
ton, still appeared confident that
the Florida angle could be
/ Strengthened out. A fourth group
expressed doubt that the nout
would be held at all
Everybody in New York except
Jacobs appeared to have forgotten
Los Angeles as a possible site.
THAT worthy summarized the stu
alton early today in few crisp
sentences as follows:
81 don't know about the
Florida law, but from the start
1 considered Los Angeles a bet
ter site than Miami. California
is red-hOt for the fight, and If
we can get a good guarantee
from Los Angeles, we'll go there.
Six California newspaper pub
fishers are working hard to land
the fight.
The New York Garden is out,
even if Schmeling is reinstated
here. Max is too big for an in
door arena. There would be
$4,000 people trying to get into
the place that holds only 10000.
There's only two places for
a winter fight-FlOrida and Cali
fOrnia. I'll see Carey today and
find out definitely about Florida.

RIVALS Of
WORTH
BY HARRY COSTELLO
Georgetown Backfield Star,
1910.13

| l31U-lS
Unusual attention is focused
on the battle between the Old
Liners, of Maryland, and Green
Terrors, of Western Maryland,
Saturday, in Baltimore.
The men of Westminster have
been preparing most conscientious
ly for this game.
Maryland. too, looks forward
to Saturdays contest with a seri-
BUSINESS, which forecasts one of
the best performances of the year
by a most successful Old Line
squad.
Among StandOuts
Twas predicted early in the
year that three great games of
football were to be on tap this
season-standout games. They
were Notre Dame-Southern Cali
fornia, Kentucky-Tennessee, and
Maryland-Western Maryland. The
first two turned out just as antici.
pated. Now, for the third, and,
it is hoped, the best of the three.
Washington particularly par
tisan Washington, is awaiting
the outcome of Saturdays con-
flict with more than passing in
terest. Despite the utter fallacy
OF basing any opinion on COM
parative scores, many opinions
will be based on the compare.
tive scores of the Georgetown
Western Maryland and the Mary
land-Western Maryland game.
Exercising the logical line Of
thought. one is impressed by the
prospects of truly great con.
test Saturday.
Consistently Brilliant
Maryland. with only single
defeat to mar its 1881 record,
has been not only brilliant. but
has been consistently so. Its
great line. backbone of both an
attack and a defense, carries the
hopes of Old Line supporters, de-
spite the fact that Marylands
backfield has been scintillating
this season.
The Green Terrors are a real
football team. With their bril-
liant Doughty in the game they
will make any eleven hustle to
keep track of Western Maryland's
attack.
1t would seem. as one studies
the two teams, that the two
backfields are very nearly a
stand-off. Both contain brilliant
runners. good kickers. fine pass
ers, able rushers and plurgers.
It would seem also. that there
is close a Stand-off in the mat
ter of end play. although one is
inclined to give Maryland an
edge in the matter of offensive
tactics by the flankers.
Line Play She Issue
Consequently, it appears that
line play will just about decide
the issue. This, of course, does
not mean that superior backfield
and end play will not be on tap.
On the contrary. this game should
bring out some sensational run
ming. after the teams have settled
down to work. and brilliant hurl-
ing and catching Of forward
passes, the latter particularly by
wing men.
Both teams employ an attack
that is always good to look at.
Each contains lateral pass efforts
which not only require perfection
Of execution, but which are sensa-
tional when successful.
All in all, Saturdays clash be-
tween the two great rivals Of
Maryland should prove extraordi-
narily attractive. Despite a very
colorful Marine-Coast Guard bat
tie here in Washington. for the
Presidents Cup, many Washing
tonians will trek to Baltimore
firmly convinced that they will
see one of the best gridiron games
Of the year.

backed by such f1imsy drama that they
| could not survive In the other stu
dios of Hollywood where conditions fal
from rosy prevail, drastic cuts in sal
airy for everybody not bound by union
wages must come about. These cuts
far from the 20 per cent or the odd
dollar cuts of the past year, will be
from 25 to so per cent and there will
be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
There has prevailed in Hollywood a
system of Wage-paying disproportionate
to the product given producers. Actors
advised" to accept slight cuts last sea-
son are up against the alternative of
taking heavy cuts gracefully this year
or working out their contracts under
the signed agreements only to discover
that other producers will never offer
them more than the amount mentioned
under the reduction regime. This
sounds depressing, but past experience
has taught actors that when producers
get together there is unity of pur-
pose that is unbreakable.
Directorial salaries during the COM
ing year will be slashed to the bone.
There are some 10 directors in Holly
wood who are worth every penny of
the money paid them for carrying
stories through to triumphant conclu-
sions. The art of writing in gelatin
is a gift not distributed widely, To
those who have it in perfection fabu-
lous sums are paid. Half million
picture has been given an artist for
making a boX-office smash out of what
could be very ordinary picture.
So these giants of the cinema will.
possibly, not feel the pressure of the
wage cut. But the director who is
earning anywhere from $500 a week to
5000 will possibly find himself bring
ing in exactly one-half of last years
income.
The author situation in Hollywood
has been peculiarly difficult to handle.
Authors who formerly wrote novels and
accepted a $500 advance from publish
ers, content that they were being treat
ed in a princely fashion, sat down and
waited for their percentage to come in
quite happily. Those same authors
have been given the habit of the
thousand or two thousand week Hol-
lywood salary, whether or not the
thing they are writing is usable for
pictures when it is completed Holly
woodland the motion picture indus
try-are alone responsible for turning
that industry into a racket and they
will be the ones TO suffer from the
dissatisfaction of their people and the
dissension in the ranks when the exist
ing financial conditions of the earth
force them to turn the racket back into
an industry with stabilized salaries once
again.
Producers will tomorrow take time
to find out who they are hiring There
will be no white elephant stories bought
with closed eyes. And players who once
accepted Broadway salaries of three to
five hundred a week will not expect to
come here and get five thousand for
doing poorer work
