COLUMBIA GRID MATERIAL STRONG
 FOR COMING YEAR

New York. Aug 1s.-Aspirants For positions on the Columbia uni- versity football team will start practice at Baker Field on Septem- Der l, according to an announce ment made by coach Lou Little yesterday. Inasmuch as but two regulars have been lost through graduation, followers of the Light Blue and White are anticipating a better season than any columbia eleven has experienced since foot ball was re-established on Morn 1ngside Heights in 1915.
 Headed by Captain Ralph Hewitt, the regulars include two other backs and six linemen. Hewitt was used at quarterback last season, and the rest of the back field included Captain Joe Stanc- zyk, Manuel Rivero and Don Mos- ser. Of this trio only Stanczyk will be unavailable. 2
 From the line Carl Ganzle, a tackle, has been lost. George Sher- wood, the other first-string tackle, will be on hand, however, as will Bill McDuffee, center; Steve Brenda and Eddie Weinstock, Guards; and Stuart Van Voorhees, and Ed Ealing, ends.
 Strength From Sophomores
 The outstanding substitutes who have been graduated, include Remy Tys, an end, and Jimmy Sheridan, Hewitt's understudy. Compensat- ing this loss will be last years freshman eleven, which will fur nish the coaches with the best re- serve material the Lions have had in recent years, if the flrst-yera mems performance last season can taken as an indication.
 The freshman were especially formidable in the backf1eld, where Joe Linehan, Newt Wilder and Cliff Montgomery all showed marked evidence of being first-class var sity material. Linehan, who pre- pared at Roxbury, is the fastest man of the newcomers and is espe- ciaiiy adept on the receiving end of a forward pass. Montgomery, a quarterback, who prepared at Kiski school, is at his best in a broken field and is one of. the best passers in the Columbia fold. Wilder is a 200-pounder whose forte is bucking line. Coach Lit tie plans to groom his for the full back post vacated by Stanczyk.
 Sophomore linemen who will be pressing the veterans for their po- sitions include Don Mclaughlin and Al Ciampa, centers; Steve Dzamba and Jack Migliore, guards; Joe Palenchar and Dave Parrack, tackles, and Roger Leadbeter and Red McDowell, ends.
 Kopf Little's Assistant
 Herb Kopf, end coach last sea- son, will act as Littles chief as- sistant this year, taking over the post held by Arthur Sampson a year ago. Sam Cordovano again will have charge of the linemen, working in conjunction with Lit tie, whose forte is fine play.
 Marty Brill, former Notre Dame backfield ace, is the only addition to the coaching staff. Brill will assist Kopf with the backfield, and in his tutoring will stress the blocking and tackling phase of backfeld play.
 Of Columbia's nine games. six will be played at Baker Field. Brown, Cornell and Wesleyan will be played away from home. The opening contest is slated for Sep tember 26 with Middlebury fur nishing the opposition. The Lions will engage their first major oppo- nent on october IT when Dart mouth comes to New York.

TROJANS SET ON
BEATING OREGON
TEAM TOMORROW

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-Two
teams fighting to get off to good
start in the Pacific Coast Confer
ence race will clash here tomorrow
when the University of Southern
California Trojans and the oregon
State Beavers meet at 2.30 p m. IN
the Olympic stadium.
With the Beavers coming down
from Corvallis with their best pros
poets in history and with the Tro-
JAMS prepared with a do or die spirit
to make a comeback after their
loss last Saturday to st. Marys, the
contest is expected to be one of the
most bitterly fought affairs ever
staged between the two institutions.
Bearing in mind the fact that al
though badly outgained in scrim-
mage plays st. Mary's ran off with
last weeks game with the Trojans
through well executed long passes
Coach Paul Schissler of Oregon
State has been drilling his men in
deceptive passing attack in an
attempt to take advantage of S. c.
weaknesses, and it is quite likely
that fans will see the air Illled with
sensational tosses to fleet-footed
backs and ends
Dissatisfied with the way his line
functioned extensively at crucial
moments in last Saturdays game,
Coach Howard Jones has made
several shifts in the Trojan forward
wall and followers of the Southern
Californians are anxious to see how
they will work out. With Johnny
Baker definitely out of the lineup,
Aaron Rosenberg will get his first
varsity trial as a running guard
and his handling of this important
position will probably have much
to do with S. C.s success on the
field
Other S. c. changes include moS-
ing Lawrence Stevens up to the
varsity at right guard and promot-
ing Ford Palmer to first string end.

CENTRAL TEAM PEPPED UP FOR GAME
WITH ST. AUGUSTINE SQUAD TONIGHT

With perfect weather for football
and a first class game coming up,
El Centro football fans should turn
out in force tonight to witness Gen.
tral Union High Schools second
game of the season, again with a
highly touted coast team, and this
time with a team which may take
the measure of the ambitious Spar
tans for a robe of mourning.
Starting at o'clock on the high
school field the two teams, st.
Augustine and Ell Centro, will go
into action under the blazing arc
lights in weather that will give
them all the pep in the world.
Unofficial rumors here indicate
El Centro will be outweighed by
the coast team, which is carrying
a 100 pound fulIback and two
tackles weighing close to 200
pounds. besides other heavy men.
AS this is the rubber game, both
teams will be out for victory, and
Imperial Valley press., 1931-10-02

each is determined the other shall
not win.
The El Centro team is in fair
shape for the contest, and with the
exception of Templeton and West
all will be able to start. Maiden,
SWink, Jones and Edgar have Slight
injuries, but will be able to start,
and may be able to finish the game.
Only a short signal practice was
held last night, after which the
teams were sent to the showers.
The strenuous game in the hot
weather last week, and several
strenuous practice sessions. put the
team in need of a good rest
The probable starting lineup to-
night will be Edgar at center, Byrd
at left guard, Couch at right guard,
Keesee or Butler at left tackle,
Tackett at right tackle, Fisher at
left end, Berry at right end, Price
at quarterback, Maiden at left
half, Swink at right half and Jones
at fullback

The Seals turned in their third

The outcome of the doublehead-

p BY CARLE ii. BENNETT
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2. U.P)-
Football teams of the Pacific coast
conference had good cause to be
worried today for there was a DOS
sibility that seven of them would be
defeated in the first two weeks of
the season.
Eight of the 10 teams in the cir
euit open the conference race To-
morrow and only half of them can
win. One Of the contests is be
tween University of Southern Cali
fornia, which bowed to st. Mary's
last Saturday. and Oregon State
college, among the strongest in the
Pacific northwest. Presuming a
victory for U. S. c., the number of
defeated teams jumps TO five.
st. Mary's is favored to beat
the University of California in
non-conference game. De-
fenses built by Stanford against
the assault OF Santa Clara uni
\ versity, which is not member
of the big coast group, are of
questionable strength. Again
resorting TO assumptions of
what might happen, Stanford
and California could be added
to the list of five defeated
teams, leaving only three with
clean states.
Washington State college, confer
ence champions, and the University
of Washington are counting on vic
tories tomorrow and they are the
only squads at the moment that can
see the probability of happy Sun
day.
Held to scoreless tie by Occidental
in their first start, the University
of California at Los Angeles play
ers will try to fight a way to an
upset against Washington state.
Montana faces the University of
Washington.

be reduced by 10000 partly by
stopping new enlistments.
The plan in its major outlines was
devised last year by Admiral Will
liam V. Pratt, chief of naval op-
erations. Upon examination of the
operating costs of navy built up
to London treaty limits, naval off,
cials found that these costs would
be prohibitive. The rotating COM
mission plan was evolved to bolster
support for the building program
proposed by the navy's general
board.
In the present emergency. Secre-
tary Adams and Admiral Pratt have
turned to the old plan.
The present cost of the navy, eX-
elusive of ship construction, is ap-
proXimately S860,000 day. or $780,
100000 per year Curtailing oper-
ationS by one fifth would reduce
this figure to $688,000 a day, a
yearly saving of slightly more
than the $60,O0O,O00 asked by Mr..
Hoover.
