HUNKANDERSON
PES5|M|ST|C

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Nov. %
Hunk Anderson. Notre Danes
coach, was a pessimistic soul to-
day as he sent his ramblers
through another offensive drill in
preparation for Saturdays game
with Army. Unless something
happens to impede Army's run
ming attack or to suddenly i'm
prove Notre Danes blocking abili-
ties, the contest may turn out
disastrously for the Irish, Coach
Anderson asserted.
"A slow field" said Hunk,
will slow up Vidal and his
seven running mates of the
Army backfieId. But, Army will
outweigh us from IS to 20
pounds to . man and that
should be enough to push US
all over the field. So. we're
wrong no matter what the
weather is"
Blocking has been the chief
sore-spot Of Notre Danes pres
ent season and yesterday the
RamblerS devoted the entire prac-
tice session to this phase Of the
game.

Who Will It Be?

Washington is without a
wrestling card this week for
the first time in months, and,
while Joe Turner says it is be-
cause Thanksgiving is a poor
night to pull the patrons away
from the turkey-festooned table,
we are Of the private opinion
the wrestling hiatus is occa-
stoned by the ushering in of
the duck-hunting season. Both
Turner and his Man Friday,
George King, are ardent fol
lowers Of the wary water fowl,
and their office in the Annapo-
lis Hotel has been dark since
last Friday.
At last accounts Turner was
planning on a Londos match
for December /, being unde-
cided whether to bring back
Gino Garibaldi against the
Greek pachyderm or to toss in
Joe Cox against the champion.
Cox has been clamoring for a
crack at the crown, but Carl
baldi is more likely to get the
call, claiming he lost to Lon
dos at the ball park more on
bad break than on any superb
ority established by Jeems.
Perhaps Turner can find time
from his hunting and fishing
to come to a decision in this
matter. It's a cinch that if
Garibaldi gets the call against
Londos, he will insist on some
other referee than Cyclone
Burns, for whom Gino has
taken a keen dislike since the
ball park incident. So not
only is Turner faced with
making a choice for his next
opponent for Londos. but if he
should pick the italian beho-
moth, he also must be looking
around for somebody besides
Burns as the third man in the
ring.

A SCurdy, aggressive detenSe;

of all, speed.
Unusual Grid Outfit
There you have the story of
the University of Oklahoma
Sooners, who, on Thanksgiving
Day, will play football in the ma
tons capital for the first time
in history.
This is an unusual grid squad,
this Sooner outfit.
With a forward wall that aver
ages about 173 pounds, and a
backfield which averages about
four pounds lighter, Oklahoma
depends on speed, versatility,
cleverneSS, rapier-like thrusts at
the opposing line, swift sweeps
of the flanks, sharp forward
pasSes, superior generalShip,
smart play and extraordinary ag-
greSSiveneSS.
Pansze Diminutive Star
Topping the list of dininutive
stars is one Bill Pansze, 1855
pounds of speed, elusiveness and
gridiron cleverneSs. Ably support
ing Bill is his brother, Art, 1865
pounds of hahback. Between the
two brothers in the backfield is
one Jim Stacey, who scales 200
pounds and who just as often
plays tackle as fullback. When
Stacey doesn't play fullback, Dick
Simms does. Dick weighs only
165 pounds, but his trite saying
reveals the sort Of grid player
he is. Says Simms:
II like the big fellows to
knock down."

HOWARD READY
FOR RL|NCOLN

Gridiron enthusiasm is run
ming high at Howard University
as the Bisons round into shape
for their fortieth annual game
with the Lincoln University Lions
Thanksgiving Day in the locals
stadium.
Practically $4,000 are expected
to be on hand and see the clash
which is somewhat of a classic
among colored colleges. The
BiSons have exhibited some
brilliant football this season,
while Lincoln due to a misunder-
standing in the conference was
slow getting underway.
However, the Lions are looked
upon as formidable foe. The
two schools have been rivals since
1894. In that year Lincoln won
6-to-5. In recent years Howard
elevenS have been better trained,
but Lincoln has had superior
team play. Howard has furnished
the stars and the Lions the team.
Since 1920 Howard has won six
contests, Lincoln three, while two
have resulted in ties.
Sallie Hall, veteran quarter
back, will be Howard's chief
factor in the running attack
against Lincoln. He has been the
mainstay of the blue and white
offense throughout this season.
Ware, Howard, Johnson and
Sewell, will be his running mates.
Verdell, the coach, has had to
contend with few injuries.
This season Howard has won
two games and lost four. West
Virginia and st. Paul were the
locals victims, while Hampton,
Union, Morgan and Virginia
State all won over the BiSonS.

Another Washout

Another wash-out in New York
was the Fordham-O Oregon State
game, an intersectional battle
that might easily have attracted
10000 souls. It seems too, like
q rank pity to take a swell game
like the Columbia-Syracuse
thing and stage it for a mere
10000.
Catholic University had every
reason to bank on a $4,000 crowd
last Friday night, instead of
half that number which actually
turned out because a discourag-
ing rain commenced about an
hour before game time.
Only $4,000 fans, the smallest
number ever to witness the ira
ditional battle between Pitts
burgh and Carnegie Tech,
turned out in the driving snow
OF Pitt Stadium.
But a few hundred spectators
sat in the downpour at West
Point to watch Army and West
Virginia Wesleyan, where ordi-
narily such a home contest
would fill Niche Stadium. At
Philadelphia, the Temple
V1llanova contest, a traditional
game, drew but 5000 turned out.
Yea, the Golfers of many an
athletic association went down
to defeat overt the past week
end. regardless of how the
teams thereof made out.

nails Bob Dunlap is at the helm.
Dunlop is 6 feet tall and weighs
1872 pounds.
Left Side Is Light
It is a most unusual right side
of a line which represents the
SoonerS.
Wilmington, at right guard,
weighs 1856 pounds; Fleetwood, at
right tackle, weighs 1874; Cherry,
at right end, weighs $50 pounds.
Yet this trio played the left side
of the great Texas line to a stand
still, played the left side of the
hefty Kansas line to a frazzle,
played the left side of Iowa States
line into submission, held its own
against the left side of the stal.
Wart Nebraska line, and trounced
the very devil out of the left side
of Kansas States big line.
The right side of the Sooner
forward wall is very different.
Cornutt, the end, weighs just
short of 180; Haag, the tackle,
goes 1874; Bashara tips the beam
at 180.
Center Is Rangy
Paul Young plays center. He
is 8 feet 4 inches tall, weighs
just over 1876 pounds. Last year
he was All-Big Six center and
was named on a number of ALI
America honor rolls.
If required to do so Oklahoma
could put an eleven on the field
which would average only 1856
pounds, but which could hold its
own in the fastest of gridiron
company. Also, if asked to do
SO. the Sooners could send eleven
men on the field who could aver
age 1913 pounds.

Dunbar Defeats
Armstrong for
CoIored Title

Armstrong, crushed under the
mire for the last three years,
broke through the sod yesterday
to defeat fast-charging Dunbar
High School eleven, 13 to 6, and
also capture the colored scholastic
grid crown for the city, before
5000, at the Walker Stadium.
Dunbar opened up with a bang.
They blocked a Tech punt a min
ute after the opening Of the game,
recovering the ball on the latter's
19-yard line. In an effort to score
Tech held the Poets on the 3-yard
line. Hardly so seconds elapsed
before Green, Dunbar haHback,
intercepted Tech pass and scam
pered 40 yards down the side line
for G touchdown. The score:
Dunbar, 6: Tech, o.
A 3O-yard pass and a series Of
line plays placed the ball for Tech
on Ounbar'S 1-yard line early in
the second quarter. From here
Williams went over for a touch
down. The extra point failed and
the count was 6 all. Near the
close of the third quarter, Arm
strong opened up a series Of line
plays that took Dunbar off its feet
and soon had the bali down on
the 3-yard line. Taking the ball
from this position as the fourth
quarter opened, Turpin went over
for another touchdown for Tech.
Williams skirted Dunbar's left end
to add the extra point.
The game was a thriller through
out with Tech getting nine first
downs and Dunbar five. A S.
yard forward pass by Dunbar in
the third quarter was among the
many features of the game.
