"HERE may be a few light
weights on this Oklahoma
foot ball squad now scurry-
ing in this direction to cross
foils with George Washington

you a lot of babies listed on its

on the short-grass griddle, and that he
expects no little annoyance from Okla

Maybe I've been reading this
Sooner roster incorrectly, but as
figure things five men, each weighing
over 200 pounds, 22 more with each
skittering the Fairbanks over the
170-pound mark, and a few more
teetering dangerously near the 200-
pound mark are not boxes of soda
crackers.
Maybe Jim the Fox comes from a
country where they call 200-pounderS
sprites, elves and fyweights. But no

But the weight and height OF the boys,

PLAN THIRD GRID CLASH

Negotiations for q third and final
and st. Mary's Celtics for the District
professional foot ball championship
were virtually completed this morning,
according to Buck Grier, pilot of the
Celts.
The Mohawks' 6-to-0 victory over the
Celtics last Sunday, evening the series
at 1-all, caused the belated decision to
play the final game, it is reported.
Previous reports stated the Hawks on
Sunday would play the ApacheS, who
we're to have reorganized for the game,
but, according to word received this
morning, Rob Roy Mackey is willing to
oppose the Celts again. Buck Grier,
who had scheduled the Pennsgrove Red
Devils for Sunday in New Jersey, can

Studiously applying himself to
the opportunity, Hardage soon be-
came McGugin's right-hand man
and remained with great success
with the Commodores until Oklaho-

Vandy grid immortals, including
Reese, Owen, Armistead, ASkew and
Spears are products Of Hardage.
McGugin freely gives credit TO
Hardage for the production of these
stars. He says:
''Hardage's work with our backs
was brilliant from the first and no
man ever surpassed him as q scout.
We had at least one fine running
back every year Hardage was here,
including Reese, Owen, Armistead.
Askew and Spears and the develop

most solely to his coaching.

TyIRGINIA'S thirty-seventh renewal
v of its gridiron rivalry with North
Carolina at Charlottesville takes
top rank among the traditional foot ball
engagements on Thanksgiving In the
South.
This long-standing competition had
its inception Just 40 years ago, In 1892,
when these schools boasted the best
teams In Dixie Their annual meeting
always provides one of the most colorful
spectacles of the year.
Although Virginia has won q majority
of games played, Carolina has been VIC
torious for the past five years. The
Tarheels from North Carolina also are
rated as slight favorites for Thursdays
contest.
Both teams have suffered disastrous
seasons and this game will bring their
campaigns to close. North Carolina
has won three games, tied two and lost
four. while Virginia has won four and
lost as many.

"A YEw YORK, November 22.-The
nj battle over the Record Com
" mittee's recommendation fought
and won, delegates to the 44th
annual convention of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union turned their attention today
to Q proposed Olympic tax on adnis-
sions, the awarding of national cham
pionships and the election Of officers.
As a means of saving the American
Olympic Committee from its quadrennial
task of raising funds to finance Ameri-
cas- participation in the international
games, the delegates were to be asked
to vote approval of tax Of 5 cents on
all admissions of so cents or more to
amateur events sanctioned by the
A. A. u.
Avery Brundage, president of the or
ganization, urged in his annual report
that the tax be approved in order to
"avoid the wasteful and inefficient cam
paign for public subscription that we
have been forced to engage in every four
years."
Most of yesterdays wrangling over
the Record Committees recommenda-
tions centered about the performances
of three American runners-up in the
Olympic games and as to whether they
should be given equal record recogni-
ton with the winners.
The upshot of the fight was that
Ralph Metcalf, runner-up to Eddie
Tolan in the 100-meter final, was given
equal recognition with Tolan for a
new record of 1913 seconds, and Mrs
Evelyn Hall was given similar recog-
milton in the 80-meter hurdles, although
she finished behind Mildred Didrikson
in sensational battle in which both
were clocked in lit seconds.

notably those against Columbia and

That its defense Is the equal Of any
team in the country Is confidently be-
lieved, but Navy has never maintained
for the whole of any game the ohense
that it promised in the early part Of the
season. That is why the major portion
of the period before the Army game
will be used to secure speed, conference
and steadineSs in the attack.
Attention will be given to second and
third backfields as well as to that which
will start the game and which, barring
something unforeseen, will have Slack at
quarter, Chung-Ho and Berries at
the halves and Campbell at fullback.
The second backfield, which started
against Notre Dame, is Becht, quarter

Erck, fullback.
Still another backfield has Lee at
quarter, Baumberger and Denny or
Samuels at the halves, and Sellars or
Waybright at fullback, and there are
even more backs of some strength.

stitutes, but number of good forwards
have come to the front lately and

Foot Ball Tips
BY JOE GLASS.


TLEVER field leadership was shown
~ by Quarterback Hall Of Illinois
in the 1924 game with Chicago.
In the third quarter. with Chicago
leading 14-0, Illinois, getting the ball
on Chicago's 40-yard line, lined up
in wide-open formation. The de-
tense loosened accordingly.
In previous games, well secuted by
Chicago, Illinois had used a pass
similar to the one described in yes
terday's article. The Illinois right
end darted behind the in-charging
defensive left tackle and end and
took a toss over their heads from
quarter. Another Illinois back came
up swiftly on the outside. Right end
passed laterally to him just as the
defensive fullback and left halfback
were about to smear him.
Against Chicago, Illinois had ready
a bewildering variation of this play
to make use of the elusive Red"
Grange. Instead of the ball being
passed to 2, it went to Grange G)
while he was on the run right. No.
