only contest scheduled here this week.
The Colonials are looking for the

any foot ball team ever encounters.
Maryland cid very little on the
field yesterday in preparation for its
game with Florida in Baltimore Sat-

tice session was spent in blackboard
work. going over mistakes of previous
games and outlining possibilities
against Floridas attack. 1t is not the
intention of the Old Liners to do
much hard work this week, as they
feel they cannot afford to hit too
rapid pace following three gruelling
games such as they have had and fac

THE SPORTZIGHT
Great Foot Ball Teams Have Some Days
They Would Like Very Much to Forget.
by GRANTLAND RICE

Some Foot Ball Squawks.
THIS foot ball season is starting
of in somewhat of minor
key. Through the last few
days only rs or rs lusty
squawks or complaints have come
to this department.
Most of these charge oversight in
failure to mention some "all-America
back" or failure to speak in louder
tones of some team-with only 500
or more college teams in the country
to write about.
Some of the complaints came
from camp followers of Yale,
Western Maryland and Iowa
State for not extending more
credit to three crushing vic
tories over Brown, Boston COL
lege and Iowa.
They were all outstanding perform
ancestor one game or ore day. But,
frankly, we don't think4 that Yale,
beaten by Columbia and barely able
to win from Pennsylvania, is 81 points
better than Brown-thAt Western
Maryland, held to to 0 by Villanova,
which in turn was beaten by La Sale.
is 40 points better than Boston Col
lege-or that Iowa States normal
margin over Iowa is 81 to 6. This,
however, takes nothing away from
three of the seasons finest foot ball
jobs.
Part of the true answer is that on
this one day Brown, Boston College
and Iowa caved in badly, with the
three winners clicking on all cylinders
A better line will be offered next
Saturday, when Iowa State faces
Nebraska and Yale meets the Army
team. Western Marylands two main
tests will come from Catholic Uni
versity and Georgetown, which are
good-but which are not Minnesota,
Alabama, Stanford or Pittsburgh.
1t is difficult at times to get
the idea over that there are a
hundred foot ball teams in the
country which, on certain days,
are just about as good as the
headlinerS.
This is proved week after week, but
so many refuse to believe it.
Some one still has to prove there
are two stronger teams in the country
than Minnesota and Alabama. In a
pinch I'll ride with this pair and let
Nature takes it's course. I doubt that
either will lose a game this season.
MinneSota's hardest test will be Chi
cago. Both Minnesota and Alabama
have man power, both are ably
coached, both have speed, and both
can call on the open game whenever
needed.

FIoridians Support Game.

DAN MULLARKEY, president of
IL the University of Florida Club of
Washington, and Linton Collins,
secretary of the Florida State Society
Of Washington, estimate that 1000
FloridianS will leave here in busses
and automobiles Saturday afternoon
to see the Maryland game in Balti-
more. The Maryland State police have
arranged to provide an escort and
probably will take the cavalcade over
the Columbia Pike, through Silver
Spring, instead of over the Baltimore
and Washington Boulevard, in order
to avoid the crowd going to the races.
American University realizes 1t Is
going to have trouble, and plenty of
it, against st. Johns Saturday, but is
hoping to make a much better show
ing than st. Johns expects. The local
school has a fast and well-coached
eleven, but it is rather light to face
the Annapolis school. st. Johns has
about as heavy team as any other
school in the section.
Georgia is to go into its game with
Alabama this week with the latter a
big favorite, a situation that has not
existed very often in the last few
years. This season, though, the Geor-
eians are not so strong, while Ala
hama, since its defeat of Tennessee,

Official Verdicts Differ.

"HE next three heats were almost
total losses from the standpoint
of the fans. Brown was given
two of them and Walker one. Then
in the seventh Mickey displayed his
most sustained punching attack of the
evening. The heat wound up with
both scrappers bleeding from eye cuts
and Matte seemingly slightly groggy.
1t was Mickey's round and put him
two sessions out in front.
Matte came back in the eighth to
win the round by shade and in the
ninth the milling was about even. The
tenth was Browns, evening the count
on The Star scorecard.
In the eyes of Reynolds it was q
draw, but Judge c. Carroll Dunn saw
it for Walker, and the stalemate was
completed when Henri di Sibour, the
other Judge, gave it to Brown.

formations the gridiron knows, a
one-wing back formation of the backs
and an unbalanced line. 1t was this
formation with which Yost made such
great scoring records at Michigan
three decades ago. With a strong
heavy plunging back who can keep
the opposing line closed up so that a
fast back can cut on short end runs
outside of tackle, this formation is
about as difficult to stop as anything
known.
Maryland is entirely unlike any
OF the other three schools, in that
1t places its greatest dependency in
a combination of a modified double
wing back and single wing back. This
type in its ability to strike quickly and
with equal power at almost any spot
in an opponents defense, offers some
advantages the others do not have,
and has one or two weaknesses
they do not show 1t has potentialities
IN spectacular play that are unusual to
most formations.
But with all the dissimilar appear
ance Of the formations in use by
these schools, fundamentally their at
tacks are not far different AS one
coach said many years ago, there
never have been and never will
be but four plays in foot ball,
straight drive into the line, a
slant at tackle, a sweep around end
and forward pass. All the other
plays are nothing but variations of
these four, and in some types of at
tack they are not varied a good deal.
After all, it is not so much the forma-
tion or the plays on which ground
gaining depends as it is on good
blocking and charging, and these are
essential in all successful methods of
attack.

Flying Foot Balls.

COMETHING over 20 years ago,
refereeing or umpiring foot ball
games through the South. I ran
across young quarterback one after
noon who was star from the start.
He belonged with the best two or three
quarterbacks the game has shown. He
was Ray Morrison Of Vanderbilt, a
hard-running, fast, elusive back who
knew how to handle team.
Next Saturday the same Ray Nor
rison is bringing his Southern Meth
odist team for a shot at Fordham in
what should be one of the best games
of the week.
Morrison has been past mas.
ter at the forward passing game,
as Notre Dame, Army and Navy
nave found out in the past.
The air should have its share of
flying foot balls if the S. M. U. mentor
still is pursuing his same formula.
S. M. US Eastern invasion is part
of the busy program the Southwest
faces.
The unbeaten Rice team that
trimmed Purdue, IA to 0, has a hard
afternoon against Texas, stopped by
Centenary last week. At the same
time, Bif Jones sends his L. S. U.
team against Vanderbilt, and one of
the two must drop from the un-
defeated list. The general average
of Southwestern play is higher this
season than it has been for years.
The Best Team.
eff you want to know the one best
foot ball team in the country" writes
Old Timer, II can give it to you
The answer is Minnesota. I've been
looking at foot ball for 80 years, but
I've seldom seen an outfit equipped
with so much speed and power COM
bined-an outfit with so much line
material and backheld material, with
such strong reserves.
Minnesota has forwards and &,
backs who rarely get into a
game and yet who would be
welcomed by almost any coach
in the country as first-string
players.
1T not only is the quality of this
Minnesota material, but also the
quantity.
In the second place, as you know,
Bernie Bierman is a smart, up-to-date
coach. He proved that at Tulane.
He has Minnesota playing smart foot
ball for the first time in years. Any
foot ball team on certain day can
be beaten by a f1rst-class rival, but
I can't see any team stopping this
Minnesota march"

Walker Hits Harder.

VYIHAT really potent punches were

hurled by Walker. who twice
seemingly stunned his larger foe but
lacked the zip of days gone by to leap
on Brown and rain punches in an at
tempt to end the bout.
Brown, the lighter puncher, threw
three and four times as many gloves
to even it up, but nowhere in Walkers
comparatively small midsection could
Matte find the openings to work in his
usually effective fashion.
The score-sheet of this observer,

rounds to each, two even, and exactly
4l1a points to each battler, called the
first round even. In the second
Brown outpunched Walker, but it was
taken away for low blows, which were
called by Referee Charlie Reynolds.
The third round was one of the few
bright spots in the drab program.
Matte appeared to have it cinched
until, with less than a minute to go,
Walker rallied with barrage of rights
and lefts to the face and left Brown

GR|D|RON ATTACKS
VARY TOEXTREME
Present Striking Example of
How Fundamentals Can
Be JuggIed.
BY III. c. BYRD.

1YPES of offensive play used by
the four big local college foot
ball teams are not in the least
similar, and offer almost the
extremes of ground-gaining methods
in use in various sections. Indeed, it
would be difficult to find four elevens
anywhere with more widely dissimilar
attacks than George Washington,
Georgetown, Catholic University and
Maryland. Fundamentally, of course,
all attacks are very much alike, but
these universities are excellent ex-
amples of wherein they differ.
George Washington is using the
short-kick formation, very much like
that in vogue at Michigan, except
that George Washington splits its line
differently. The same quick breaks
through the front line, spinner plays
by the same backs, with end runs and
cutbacks by the deep back, mixed with
plenty of forward passing, is the
George Washington attack.
Catholic University offers an almost
perfect example of the shifting back
field attack mades popular by Notre
Dame. This attack depends in large
measure an almost perfect blocking
by individuls, on a good individual
running back for sweeps and cutbacks,
and powerful line plunger. 1t is an
attack that fundamentally is based on
strong running game.

Weight Is Handicap.

"HERE was no prestige won by
either principal in that dull af-
fair witnessed by surprisingly
maeger crowd of less than 1000 cash
customers who paid less than $1,000
half of what was expected. Walker
faced the opportunity to become box
ing's premier giant-killer, to vault
back into fistiana'S S elite; and he blew
it. Brown was confronted with a
chance finally to grind his heel into
one Of the greats Of boxing; and he
blew it.
1t was a bad match for Matte,
whose unmarried 10-month record,
embracing IA victories, melted into
nothingness as he failed completely
to live up to expectations. Brown
must realize today he is made for big
heavyweights, against whom he can
all but emerge from a bout without
the mussing Of hair. Little 163-
pound Mickey Walker is not for him.
Matte, ever punchless, was at disad-
vantage instead of an advantage with
his extra 2612 pounds of left.
Walker, furnishing no target for the
colorless but uniformly effective Brown
body attack and catching fully three
fourths of Natie's punches on his
gloves and arms, didn't have it in MIN
to punch with the Washington heavy
for more than half of each round. II
he had, there would have been no
doubt as to the winner.
