Coach Rip Miller has said that only Q miracle or two can bring that victory. The Middies are oyer looking no lunches or guperStt- sions in their effort to work that m,rSs's, TSs old Japansss bell atihe Ma val Academy. Is rung only when Navy beats Army at football. The last time 1t changed was when the late Bob Folweli, former Penngyl- yania fullback, coached the Mid- dies to to victory here in New York.
 The Army won the next six years with the exception of 1928 and 1926, when ties were played. In both charity games, arranfed as post-season affairs in 1880 and 1881, the West Pointers also won.
 Another Chance
 Now. after an 11-year wait, the Middies are faithfully carrying out their pre-same traditions with the hope that they will help "beat Army"
 Beginning early Saturday rporn- ing the naval academy cogps of IS will march out of the gate and 0aCu WIQUy Witl tuEOW 9 AuihNAot of pennies atthe statue of Tecum- sch.
 This, in addition to helping beat Army. Is profitable for the chil- dren of the officers stationed at Annapolis, Hundreds get up at dawn and scramble for the cops perg.
 when the Middies pass through Baltimore en route to Philadelphia. they will pull down the shades of their special train. Tradition says that for a midshipman to look upon Baltimore before a football game, especially with the Army, Is to court defeat.
 Win First
 Army has no such pre-ganne an. tics. It saves it's celebration until after the game is over, If Army wins, the mule will get another gold star for his grey blanket. and the Navy Goats jacket will go in the trophy room at West Point.

Johnny Hartnett Blocks Efficiently in Drill Yes- terday-FrOsh Sm0th. cred

New York, Dec IA brief scrim- mage with the freshman eleven yesterday gave Manhattan's varsity it's ffBt opportunity for hard con- tact work in almost two weeks. Coach Meehan sent the regulars against the cubs for about IS min utes on Manhattan field in prepara- ton for the charity game with Rutgers on Ebbets fieid, Saturday.
 By scoring five touchdowns in this limited time. the Green team revealed that it has suffered little by it's layoff since the Holy Cross game.
 Bill Pendergast, outstanding back field star of the Jaspers, scored three of the touchdowns, one on q beautiful run of so yards on the first play of the scrimmage. Cap- tain Pete Battle and Clarence Gi- rard also tailed.
 The Jaspers found the freshmen vulnerable to long passes, scoring two touchdowng on aerials. Battle tossed 25-yard pass to Fender gast for one score, and tallied him. self on a similar pass from the quarterback.
 The line charged hard through out the drill, efiicient blocking by Dick Ciccolella and Johnny Hart nett, guards, paving the way for scoring runs of approximately 20 yards each by Penderbast and Gi- rard.
 Taking the defensive in a dum- my scrimmage, the Jaspers stic- cessfully smothered the freshman teams attempts to gain with Rut- gers aerial formations. Howie Smith, rowing center, and Charlie Barkaus, blocking halfback, each intercepted several losses.
 The first team continued to line up as 1t started against Holy Cross but there were several shifts in the second combination. Ed Ashkar. previously a guard and blocking back, was at fullback with Nal Thomas, Ken owen and Jack StoIzenthaler also in the back feld.
 The game will be broadcast by station WINS, Ford Prick announc- ing, 1t WIS revealed yesterday. The broadcast will begin at 1880.

 his shot at the featherweight cham pionship when he squares of against Kid Chocolate, fifteen rounds or less, at Madison Square Garden, Friday evening, Decem-

 He had five contests In Honolu- lu and Hawaii and won them all three by knockouts. He Is cock sure in his ability to turn back the Cuban and win the title. He foTm- erly owned the fiyweight crown.

The Cubs gave the Cincinnatt Reds OutfielderB Johnny Moore and Lance Richbourg, Pitcher Bob Smith, Catcher Rollie Hemsley aha a "bale of cash" as President Wfls Ham Veeck termed the financial part of the transaction.
 Color and Strength
 Herman, ranked one of the greatest hitters in the National league, is expected to add consider- able strength to the Cubs attack which dwindled to a whisper ip the world series with the New York Yankees.
 Herman is the first slugging lefthanded hitter the Cubs have had in years. Hornsby. Cuyler, English, Stephenson, Hack Wilson -have hit from the right side of the plate.
 A Little "Info"
 Bob Smith, who is nearing 55, won only four games while losing three last year. Rollie Hemsley, q brilliant prospect who failed to live up to expectations, was twice suspended last year for breaking training rules. Johnny Moore, 8 left handed batter, was benched against southpaws and was weak against good right handed pitching. Lance Richbourg spent part of last season in the minors and was re- called toward the end of the year.
 "Gate" Man
 Herman is expected to aid the Cubs on the field and also at the turnstiles. Since Hack Wilson left the Cubs, the team has been with out colorful figure for the bleach- ar bugs. Herman is expected to fill that gap nicely.
