TEAM
IS BARRIER

Villanova is another hurdle for
the Georgetown University grid
ders and the Hilltoppers will have
to play at top speed if they wish
to defeat the Wildcats in the
game Saturday at Villanova, Pa.
Nor is it certain that George
town, granted it plays acme foot
ball, will scalp the Pennsylvania
collegians. Georgetown scouts
have returned with dire reports
of the all-around strength of the
Villanova team.
VilIanOva Is Strong
These Georgetown scouts assert
that Villanova is strong in all de-
partments. However, Terry and
Bryce, ends: Ventura, guard; !;
Casey and Donahue, halfbacks.
and Potts, fullback, are outstand-
ing players.
Villanova fought Bucknell to a
scoreless game while Bucknell de-
feated Georgetown. The Blue and
Gray, however, gave Bucknell a
hard game and threatened to
deadlock the score two or three
times.
The performances of Shimmins,
Stanley and Viskovitch in the
West Virginia triumph last Satur-
day heartens Head Coach Tommy
Mills. They will have to bear
close scrutiny from Villanova for
any of the three is apt to break
loose on scoring rampage.

Three Brides From Traps
Three of a foursome playing

experience of pitching out OF
traps into the cups for BRIDES.
The trio were George j. Richard

BUTLER ELEVEN
HUSKY RIVAL
FOR c, v.

Rated as one of the best teams
of the smaller schools in the mid
West, Buffers Bulldogs are likely
to extend Coach Jim Pixlee's
George Washington gridmen to
the limit in their game here Fri
day night in Griffith Stadium.
Two factors that will act as
spurs to the Bulldogs in their
quest for victory are: l. 1t IS
their final game this year and
nothing would be more pleasing
than to end up with a triumph.
Butler Team Is Big
Butler i1as big and scrappy
team with plenty of heft on the
forward wall and some capable
backfield performers working be-
hind it. The line averages slight
ly better than 100 with the ends
both hitting that figure, both
tackles going over 200 and the
center trio all hitting 18O.
Coach Harry Bell. now in his
second season. IS having good sue
cess with the Bulldogs. He is a
firm believer in the Warner style
of grid warfare with all of its
complicated spinners, fakes, for
ward and lateral passes and
strong plunging plays.
Smart Field General
While most of the offensive
plays center around Capt. Ken
meth Booz and Carson Conrad for
Butler, both Nelson Raber and
Jimmy Stewart also hold up their
end. The latter is a smart little
field general and Raber is a
husky plunging back. Captain
Booz, who is a genuine triple
threat, is their most dangerous
threat, however, and may cause
the Colonials more than few
uneasy moments.

A. A. j. PLANS
Y ALLIANCE

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 18.-Con-
cluding it's forty-third annual con-
vention with the election of Avery
Brundage of Chicago as president,
and the selection of New York as
it's 1882 convention city, the ANA
teur Athletic Union was prepared
today to form an alliance with the
Y. M. c. A.
Under new working agree
ment between the two groups an
athlete possessing an amateur
card in the Y. M. c. A. will be
eligible to compete in A. A. U.
meets and vice versa. A clause in
the agreement was to the effect
that if tn A. A. U. disqualifies or
suspends an athlete the Y. M. c.
A. will take similar action.
Gets Fourth Term
The reelection of Brundage
maN1s his fourth term as presi-
dent of the A. A. U. Other Off
GERS elected were Sam Goodman,
San Francisco, first vice presi-
dent; Martin A. Klein, New York,
second vice president; Charles l..
Ornstein, New York, third vice
president, and Jack Rafferty,,
Houston, Tex, fourth vice presi-
dent.
The naming of New York as
the 1892 convention city was made
over bids of Houston, Wichita,
and Chicago.
Championship meets awards in

N. Y. Gets Events
The long distance individual
and team swimming champion
ships for both men and women
will be staged by the Metropoli-
tan A. A. U. and the indoor water
polo championships were awarded
to the same district. The out
door junior and senior track
meets will be held at the same
time of the Olympic trials.
The New England Association
was awarded the annual A. A. U.
junior boxing tournament to be
staged in Boston. An important
ruling of the convention was the
limiting of amateur boxing bouts
to three rounds. No bid was
made for the senior champion

Dick Watson, greenSkeeper of
the Indian Spring and Chevy
Chase courses, asserts that a
heavy rain is necessary before the
ground freezes. There is little
danger, however, of freeze under
present conditions.
Grenskeepers cannot plough the
fairways like a farmer the soil for
his crops, therefore they must have
assistance of rain to loosen the
turf.
Rain Is Essential
Rain is also vital at this period
of the year not because it will
make the grass grow bat will aid
in freezing the ground. Then
with the thaw in the spring, the
ground will loosen and thus the
roots of the grass will get air
which is essential to its growth.

Those Faltering Legs

But suppose for a second,
Dempsey does travel the return
route to the extent of coming
face to face with the better
heavies? Suppose he eventual
" faces Sharkey and Schme-
ling. What then? We fear that
In such an eventuality Dempsey
could only expect a repetition
of what happened in his two
Tunney fights.
In retrospect, we believe the
downfall of Dempsey was the
giving away of his legs. Few
people outside of the athletic
world realize how important the
legs are and this is particularly
true in the case of ringmen.
While one doesn't hit with the
legs one does use them to hold
ones self upright when one
takes a socking here and there
about the torso and head and
none can deny remaining YER
tical is very important part
Of box fighting.
The element of good legs can
not be faked-they've got to be
there holding you up and carry
ing you around the ring. Brain
work and cleverness will not
substitute for wabbly underpin-
ming and to our way Of thinking
Dempsey's worst enemies in his
fight to return to condition are
his two legs which were gone
in Philadelphia as well as Chi
Cago.
Have they returned? Viii
they ever?

Providence Threatens c. u. Win String
R. |. ELEVEN
WINS LAST
6GAMES

Football has taken new lease
at Providence College, r. l.. and
with the addition of two capable
assistants to Archie Golembeskl,
one-time Holy Cross great, bril-
liant record has been compiled
this fall. Providence tackles the
Catholic U. eleven in the c. q.
Stadium Saturday afternoon. The
Friars have won their last six
games.
Bride and MCGEE, stars in their
own right for the F'riars rev
wears back, have returned to the
campus and their advent has
been one of the big reasons LOT
the recent string Of six stralgnt
wins. ,
Jersey clay, transferred into
mud of the worst kind, proved
the undoing of Providence in its
opening game with Rutgers at
New Brunswick. A year ago
providence. with Mickey Foster
running wild, tackled IL TO n
upset on Rutgers. This year the
jersey men, with Grossman IN MS
best form, ploughed through 1or

Gave Holy Cross Battle
Hardly recovered from their
Rutgers game, Providence faced
Coach John McEwan's Holy Cross
Contingent at worcester and gave
the Purple one of the hardest
games they have had all year:
Providence scored first, but had
two kicks blocked which paved
the way for scores to give the
Crusaders the lead.
Evidence of Coach John NC
Evans regard for the Frlars Is
seen in the fact that with the
important Dartmouth game a
week away. he hurled his strong
est array against the Rhode Island
ers, and kept the entire varsity
lineup in the game throughout,
including his brilliant wingmen,
Colucci and Cavalieri. and Cap
tain Phil O'Connell. star back.
With hardly time to recover
again after these two stiff asign-
ments, the Friars set themselves
to the task of downing the Uni
versity of Vermont. The power
restrained in the opening major
games broke forth with full fury
against the Green Mountaineers,
and Providence's first-stringers ran
up a 27-to-0 count before giving
way to the subs in the second
period.
Skaters Home Record
Then followed a 6-to-0 win over
Clarkson College, northern New
York State champions; 24-to-0
verdict over Norwich University,
champions of the Vermont confer
ence; 10 to 6 over Lowell Textiles;
13 to 6 over Niagara University,
and 80 to IL over st. Johns of
Brooklyn.
When Providence College de-
feated the strong Niagara Uni
versity team at Niagara Falls two
weeks ago it accomplished some
thing that many teams had tried
in vain to do, for the victory
marked the first time in the his
tory of Niagara's football, IA
years, that their team lost a
game on it's own field.
Last Met In 1923
Although Saturdays game will
mark the first time that a Prov
idence team has met Catholic
University in Washington, it will
not be the Friars' first visit to
the Brookland Stadium. Four
years ago the Rhode Islanders
stopped off at C. U. for a prac-
tice drill while en- route to Gin
cinnati to meet st. Xavier Uni
versity.
The last. and incidentally the
only football meeting between
Providence and Catholic Univer-
sity was in 1923 when Providence
scored 7-to-0 win at the Rhode
Island capitol. Stars of that game
were Eddie Lynch, all-time c. U.
star, and Joe MCGEE, present as
sistant coach of the Friars.

CHEER IS SEEN
FOR SOUTH

Although the cotton situation
looks appalling on paper, the
prospect is that conditions in the
South will be considerably better
next season than during the cur
rent year, according to a Hamil-
ton Institute survey. Here is the
bad side Of the picture.
On the basis Of the current
price. the money income from
the 1891 cotton crop, exclusive
Of income from seed, will be
; $432, ,0O0, 600 as against $3.50, ,OOO,-
900 in 1880 and $l,245, 600. 900 in
1929. Owing to low prices, the
cotton growers money income
this year will be the smallest
since the beginning of the pres
e1t century.
No great improvement Is in
prospect during the season Of
l932-33. If higher prices result
from a reduction in the crop
next year. the cotton growers
income will still be small because
the smaller quantity will tend to
offset the advance in prices. It
Is consequently probable that the
bad situation prevailing in the
South at the present will not be
entirely remedied before the sea-
son Of 1933-34.
On the other hand, the reduced
money income this season will
help to force down the prices of
the goods which the cotton
growers buy. Consequently, they
can buy a larger quantity Of
goods next season even though
their money income shows no
marked increase. This, in turn,
will have a beneficial effect on
manufacturing activity which the
discrepancy between the prices OF
raw materials and the prices OF
finished goods is now curtailing.
