Confidence Is Justified,

TTAGERTY has real confidence in
his teams defense, and has
cause for that confidence. 1t
is true that Georgetown has not
been high-ScOring outfit this year,
but also it is true that no other
eleven has been able to do much
against Georgetown. The Blue and
Gray is winning team because it
has stopped everything sent against
it, and it believes that, with the
knowledge it has of Marylands
offense, through long and close
scouting, it should stop that.
And reports by Marylands scouts
tend to corroborate Georgetown opin-
ion. A consolidated report from the
men who have watched the Blue and
Gray team reads like this:
Georgetown has an almost i'm
penetrable line, which is big and too
strong to do much with. Its ends
are playing much smarter foot ball
than any other we've seen. and its
backs. contrary to what seems to be
general opinion, are very good, and
all four are fast and dangerous
every minute. GeorgetownS first
string eleven is much more expert
enced than ours, both in line and
backfield, but its reserves are not SO
strong. 1t has two good requirements
in the backfield, but its line will
be weakened every time it is forced
to send in new man. But so far
its line has been strong enough to
stand the gaff,, and it has not had to
send in new men,"
Last week Georgetown had a rest
Saturday, as it wanted to be sure to
have all its men in top physical con-
ditlon for the Maryland game Mary
land had anything but a rest day, as
1t took long trip and played the
hardest team it has faced this year,
but fortunately came through without
anything in the way of an injury
that will not be all right by Saturday.
This apparently is going to be one
OF those games for which both teams
point for month or more. In fact,
back in their heads both Georgetown
and Maryland have had the thought
all season that this would be the
acid test for both of them, and natu-
rally both are preparing little diff
ferently and with more minute atten-
ton than has been usual for the aver
age game.

Yale Well Pointed.

THE outstanding achievement of
all foot ball teams last week
was that of Yale against Prince
ton. One writer even went so far as
to say that Princeton couldN put its
third team on the field and win, but
that writer simply did not know about
Earl Meals unusual ability to prime a
team for one particular contest. Give
Neale fair material and let him set
his mind on any game and he will
come about as close to winning that
game as any other coach. He made
good against Princeton, as he will
make good against some particular
team season after season.
Yale has good material, better ma
terial than most people realize, but
hardly anybody would voice an opin-
ion that its material is as good as
Princeton's. Yale won because it
planned to take advantage of every
possible flaw in Princeton's play, and
because probably it lined up some Spe-
cial play or plays for the few scoring
opportunities it expected to have At
least, this would seem to be what
happened, if Neale held to his usual
tactics,
Anybody who expected Navy to beat
Pittsburgh failed to take into account
the difference in material of the two
squads Pittsburgh undoubtedly has,
year after year, much more mature
men than Navy. and probably it had
on the field Saturday team far
more experienced in playing time and
older in years as well. Tom Hamilton
should not feel discouraged about that
defeat, because any coach who could
take young fellows of the type of
Naval Academy students and beat
Pittsburgh would be genius such as
foot ball has not yet produced.

Bernie Bierman, now a trifle gray,

almost shy, he shakes his head. 1--WE

bunch of boys, but seldom use that
word great Certainly not before
the season ends. See what happened
to Princeton. 1t can happen to any
one"
What is the outstanding feature
of your team?" I asked him.

said, "the team is well drilled in
fundamentals. They all know how
to block and tackle.

had sound reason to expect and we
have notion the young coach has
surprised even himself.
Before the season began, a friend
on the Hilltop, blue and gray, in
deed, told us he didn't look for a
thing" from the team this season
and could foresee little for the next
campaign.
Now, he's grinning with all ether
Georgetown people and looking to the
Maryland game as Hilltop foot ball
rabids have looked to no contest in
many years.
Tickets Going Fast.
A TRIUMPH over Maryland is all
~ needed to make what promised TO
be another dismal season one of
the happiest since the days of George
towns feud with Virginia, when vic
tory over the Cavaliers brought glad
ness overfoWing to Hoya hearts in a
campaign otherwise bleak.
This is not meant to be a sales talk,
but for those who wouldn't miss this
one" we suggest sincerely that they
place their orders now for pasteboards.
With specially erected seats, Byrd
Stadium will accommodate $4,000 at
the outside and the tickets are selling

changed before any conference team
can take on any such game. And it
is too late this season for any change
to be made"

Yields Lone Touchdown.

TN WINNING the conference honors
the Sioux yielded only one touch
down - that to North Dakota
State-and used its fine defense to
hold all of its foes to IA first downs.
This will be G. VS. third clash with
North Dakota. and the Sioux have yet
to win from the Colonials. In 1881
a favored North Dakota eleven was
tied by Jim PiXlee's men. to g. after
having scored an upset by holding
powerful Oregon team scoreless, and
last year at Grand Forks the Co.
lonials routed the Sioux team, 81 to 6.
A mixture of veterans and sopho-
mores are playing better foot ball for
Coach West this year than the team
of 1888, which boasted one of the
greatest tackles in the country in Ted
Meinhover, 6-foot 7-inch youth, who
now performs in the National Pro-
feSsional League. and Ralph Pierce,
North Central sprint champion.

The Gathering Storm.

n minnesota may not start with
NI the slow, sure power of mov-
ing glacier, but it carries the
finish of the storm. Here is team
that carries weight, speed and the
fundamentals of foot ball skill, where
one of its main ingredients is mental
poise and supreme confidence. 1t
isn't going to be hurried. About the
start of the third period, as big
Kostka, the 2l0 pound catapult,
swings into action, its momentum be-
gins to pick up pace and drive. and
from that point on the field is full of
human debris.
In the first two periods against
Pittsburgh. Michigan and Chicago,
for example, Minnesota scored just
points in all three games.
In the last two periods, the Gopher
rolled up rs points, and.
certainly, against Chicago. in the two
final quarters, it might have added 80
more.
When Pug Lund, Kostka and AL
phonse start working together back
of a fast-charging line that moves
almost as one man, the impact is
more than the defense can meet
without turning groggy before the
game is over. Lund is a star all
around back who can kick, pass, run
and block. The burly Kostka con-
centrates on taking the ball and
plowing his way through or over
any opposition that may be hanging
around. He has deft way of
feinting with the ball and then cut
ting in or out, with quick reverse.
The outstanding features are
the speed Of his starting thrust,
the quickness of his cut-backs
and then the bison power of his
big legs that keep churning along
after he has been nailed.
He is about as easy to bring down
as galloping rhinoceros and the
tackler that hits him two or three
times begins to wonder why the
birds are singing on the field.

features was its speed You saw
Alphonse swinging down the field
on that 40-yard run" he said.
Isn't he one of your fastest men?"
asked. He looked to be on that
sideline sprint
Bierman smiled. "On the con-
trary," he replied. there are eight
men on the first team who are faster
than Alphonse when it comes to sheer
speed. Yet Alphonse is fast-and al
ways faster under pressure or in a
pinch"
For that matter, Minnesota gave
you the impression Of eleven big half
backs. There were 200-pounders and
more stepping along, but not a heavy
footed lumberer in the bunch.
Their quickness was more i'm
pressive than their size, and yet
they were never extended or
forced to call on any deep finesse.
They were through on Chicago's S
kickers and passers like something
shot out of a gun. Devan, the big,
active guard, might be broken field
runner.

1t was not by accident that the FL Jardin opened its doors in
Brownsville. But rather was it through the foresight of its builders
and the citizens of Brownsville who could envision the inevitable flu
ture prosperity and growth in store for this city that the FL Jardin
became the dominant feature of BrownsviIes skyline. The coming
of the Port to Brownsville, with it's projected developments give
proof that this faith was not misplaced.
The El Jardin offers every comfort and service to business man or

make the guest feel that he is really in a horne away from home"

RULES FAIR

NEW YORK, Aug. II GN.SO.
Richard Whitney, president of the
New York Stock Exchange, said
yesterday that he considered the
rules of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission to govern
stock market transactions, which
were made public on April 13, as
eminently fair.
Answering a question at the
weekly press conference at the
exchange Mr.. Whitney said:
II think these rules, both for
the registration of exchanges
and for the Temporary reglStra-
ton of securities, are workable,
very conservative and eminently
fair. Certainly 1 do not see any
reason why any company listed
on this exchange should not
register temporarily under these
requirements.
II see no ground for criticism
of these new rules. In fact,
believe them most constructive"
