SCHEDULE IS STIFF;
ITS TEAM STRONG
HarboId, Chung-Hoon Seen
as Stars-MiIIer Makes
Good as Coach.

y
tunate in the sense that it has
probably the best squad in years
out of which to weld a team to
meet the issues of that schedule.
And however good the material may
be and however strong the eleven that
Is developed from it, Navy should need
all 1t has and perhaps more, because
1t Is to meet about as stern competi-
ton as can be provided on the grid
iron.
william and Mary opens the schedule
September 80, and this time the In
dians will not carry scalp away from
Annapolis. as they did last year. Mer-
Ger University comes next, and after
1t begin the fireworks. October IA Navy
goes to Pittsburgh, and Pitt expects
to be fully as strong as 1t was last
season, which Is strong enough Tor
any mans team.
Virginia this year is likely to
be . far different Virginia from
mast seasons, and it should pro-
vide a good deal more OppOsi-
tion than Navy looks for.
Then the following Saturday the
eleven goes to Philadelphia to play
Penn, and consecutively after that
meets Notre Dame, Columbia, Prince
ton and Army.
Has Veteran Backs.
TUST to name these teams seems
4 to be about all that need be SAID
y but if any comment is to be made
about all necessary is to say that any
eleven that faces Pittsburgh, PennSyl-
vania, Notre Dame, Columbia, Prince
ton and Army has enough cut out for
It to make its coach not only want
good material but make him scratch
his head a good many times in efforts
to get the most out OF that material
Harbold at center and Chung-Hoon
at halfback are expected to be stars
of the first rank Murray at end and
Walkup In the backf1eld also should be
brilliant.
This is the third year for all
these men and they haze erper1-
er,ce to add to the physical and
mental characteristics that MADE
them good in their sophomore
= and Junior years.
The best men the Navy lost by
graduation were Campbell, fullback;
Ready, guard, and Kane. tackle. 1t
will not be easy to replace these play
ers, either, no matter how good tne
big squad left over from the l93Z
varsity nor how capable the excellent
material that has come up from the
plebe eleven.
Rip Miller Makes Good.
- yAVY has good coaching, and the
IN best should be made of its ma
l. terial. Rip Miller again is head
coach. He has done good work IN
both the previous seasons in which
he has had charge and by all reason
ing should do even better this year
Helping Miller are two former Notre
Dame players and Navy graduate.
Flanagan, former back at NOtre
Dame, and O'Brien, one Of
Notre Danes greatest ends. are
the two men helping Miller in
their special fields, while Lieut..
TAYLOR, former Navy end, Is aid
ing In the line coaching.
Auburn has one open date on It's
schedule this Fall, but at that VIII
play 10 times, and most OF the games
are with hard teams. Georgia Tech
at Atlanta, Tulane at New orleans
Duke at Durham. Georgia at Coium,
bus, Florida at Gainesville and South
Carolina at Birmingham are some OF
the most difficult elevens 1t Is TO play
not to mention George washington
which may be Just as good as any
OF them.
Will Cover Gridiron.
YORTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
I'M nlans tn cover its foot ball held
with several huge tarpaulins, SO
that it will not again have to play on
a muddy field, at least not at nome
This has been done for several years
by some of the big schools in the
Middle West and undoubtedly makes
certain q much more attractive game
irrespective of what the weather con-
ditions have been for two or three
DAYS before the game, or even the
morning Of the game.
One of the regular tackles at North
Carolina this Fall is pretty sure 10 pe
Bin Collins, brother of Chuck Collins
head coach. He is said to be SO out
standing as to warrant predlctlor
that he will be All-Southern callber.
Duke University has back practically
the same line it used so successfully las1
season. but may have difficulty filling
satisfactorily one of the positions IN It's
backfeld However, Duke Is likely tc
hand out some surprises and may pe
one OF the strongest elevens In the
South. And perhaps this statement
would be Just as accurate II the wore
may were changed to will.
Sewanee Plays Vandy.
CEWANEE Is back on Vanderbilt's s
foot ball schedule this Fall, for the
- first time In three years Sewanee
left the Commodores at the time the
present Thanksgiving day arrangement
was made with Alabama, after SeWanee
had held the Thanksgiving date on the
Commodores schedule for years and
years.
The game is to be played No
pember II at Nashville, and is one
of those in 1Uhicl Sepdnee By
pictory can rise to real heights,
and Vanderbilt, through defeat,
90 do,Dn in the depths. That
happened four or fUe years ago,
right after Vanderbilt had iDhip-
ped Minnesota, 3 to 0.
Ed Walker, after two years Of coach
ing at University Of Mississippi Is op
timistic about his prospects for the frs
time He has a squad developed undel
his own tutoring and sees no reason
why Mississippi should not begin to galr
for itself Q higher ranking in Southern
foot ball
