Grief For Card Foes

One of the reasons why the Car dinals may think as well of Ray Starr as they do of the more cele- brated Dizzy Dean is the record of Sbarr's achievements in Inter- national league company in 1881 just revealed by the official aver ages.
 The Rochester right-hander led his league in 5wirling effectiveness, at 2.83 runs per nine inning game, besides showing the top record of 20 victories and ' defeats. He pitched Is complete games. but was a trifle wild, issuing 1O2 passes in 216 innings.

Archer was a young Irishman, who
in his school days suffered an acci-

him develop outstanding catching
ability. He fractured his right fore
arm. This set none too well, and the
result was peculiar throwing lever
age which made Archer the high ex-
ponent of what was called the snap

Archer made his great throws to

squatting position with that Archer
snap. After him came many imi-
tators. Now the old squatting snap
is almost thing of legend, for near
ly all catchers now rise for a second
hold on the ball.
Archer not only caught well, but
he was quite hitter. But for the
presence of masters like Bresnahan
and King in his day, Archer would
have been hailed as the catcher OF
the generation.
In Chicago he achieved his great
est fame and in Chicago he has

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NNAPOLIS, November 26.-The
" hard work of preparation for
~ the game with Army, the cli-
max and grand objective of
the grid season, is over at the Naval
Academy, and no Navy regular is likely
to make real attempt to carry the ball
against an opponent or try a regular
tackle until he lines up against the
Army team on Franklin Field a week
from today.
There was no practice for the reg
ulars yesterday, nor will there be this
afternoon, as Head Coach Miller took
his regular team and half a dozen
ranking substitutes to New York to see
the Notre Dame and West Point teams
in action. He believed that they would
get more good from this inspection than
they possibly could from any sort of
practice. Next week will be given to
signal and formation work to polish up
the plays, both running and passing,
and perhaps, some defensive work
against passes.
MILLER indicated by his choice of
1V1 players to take the New York trip
that he would adhere to his in
tention of using the same starting line
up as that which has began the last
three games prior to the Notre Dame
contest. In the latter, he started with
the second backfleld, but used his reg
ular line for nearly all of the game.
This lineup is: Left end, Murray:
left tackle, Brooks; left guard, Reedy
(captain); center, Harbold; right guard.
Burns; right tackle, Kane; right end,
Pray; quarterback, Slack: left half,
Chung Hoon; right half, Borries full
back. Campbell. The second back field
will be: Quarterback, Becht; left half,
Clark; right half. Walkup; fullback,
Erck. These Is, with Cutter and Dor
min, substitute center and end, re-
spectively. made up the New York
party.
THE feeling is growing in naval cir
i cles that the team this year has
more than an even chance to win.
1t is felt that the team has the abil-
ity, as shown by its fine defense in all
recent games, and strong attack in por-
tions of most of them, and that it will
show the fight and consistency in its
final game to give it at least an even
chance of victory.
Navy people do not concede any SUI
periority in the line to the Military
Academy. In fact, they are inclined to
believe that in Harbold, center; Kane
and Brooks, tackles, and Murray, left
end, 1t has something of an edge, and
nearly even strength as TO the other
forward positions.

something more than a matter
of tradition to build up foot
ball series into fashy pageant,
which catches and holds attention.
For example, there is the Army
Notre Dame meeting, which has now
become one of the leading foot ball
fixtures of the year. one Of the big
games of any season. This is largely
due to the fact that Army and Notre
Dame, regardless of what may have
happened earlier in the Fall, have
nearly always put on one of those STIR
ring dramas that are full of thrills.
You can go back to the days Of
Rockne and Dorais-to Eichenlaub and
Gipp.
still recall the great duel between
Gipp and French, where both ran wild
all afternoon.
There also is a keen remembrance
of the days when the four horsemen
rode against the Army in two great
games. In each case Notre Dame was
the big favorite, but IN each case Notre
Dame barely won.
Talk to any old Notre Dame player
and he will tell you the Army in any
year strikes with unexpected force, no
matter what its foot bail record for
the season has been. That was true
last Fall when a keyed-up Army team
swarmed all over a strong South Bend
contingent and where for the first time
in his career Marchy Schwartz found
himself resting on the back of his
neck most of the afternoon.
Today's Meeting.
TT so happens that Army and Notre
i Dame find themselves today with
more than a normal supply of man
power-with two Of the strong teams
of the country.
Both lost to Pitts strong Panthers
in games, which might have gone either
way, a turn that foot ball often has in
modern days where killing passes may
either just click or Just fail, and where
ball game may ride one way or an
other by a matter Of inches, by less
than a span.
The spirit of Army-Notre Dame meet
ings always rises to heights that few
| other games can show, and for this rea-
son the guessing Is always likely to 60
aStray.
The Strongest Teams.
THE argument as to the strongest
i teams in each section, or in the
country at large, is keener than
ever this waning Autumn.
In the East the debate is among
followers Of Colgate, Army and Pitt
In the Midwest it is between supporters
of Michigan and Purdue, with Wiscon-
sin also having a word to say after a
fine record.
In the South, Tennessee followers
claim at least equal strength with Au-
burn. There isn't much debate about
Texas Christian University in the
| Southwest, Nebraska in the Big Six and
Southern California on the Coast. They
stand out in their own domains.
What about the strongest team in
the East, where there is three-cor
nered claim?
Suppose Army and Pitt were to meet
again-Army and Colgate-Colgate and
Pitt?
There is a chance that Army and
Pitt may have an edge in man power,
but I haven't seen team in years
which carried so many weapons in at
tack as Colgate showed against Brown.
1t was the most versatile and be-
wildering display Of speed ana power
that any gridiron has seen in q long
time.
Colgate not only had an amazing
variety of aSsaulting weapons, but Col
gate also was drilled to use these
weapons almost without a flaw. You
saw here the perfect example of team
play, of IL men working as unit
where almost every assignment was
carried out
