Manhattan and New York u.
in Wicked Mood After
Disappointments.
BY H. c. BYRD.

FORWARD passing attacks de-
- veloped to about as high
degree of efficiency as ever is
seen are likely to be cut loose
in the game in Baltimore Saturday in
which University of Florida meets
Maryland. Last year Florida did some
featS in passing and receiving that
were astonishing and this season is
scoring freely, largely because of its
ability in this type of play. Maryland
also must have very effective throw
ing game, as no opponent yet has been
able to stop it.
Florida has In Chase and Rogers, an
end, and Chase and Brown, the latter
q quarterback, passing combinations
that have bewildered every eleven it
has been against this year. Or, any
way, that is about the only conclusion
to draw from the fact that passes have
figured to a greater extent than every
thing else in Florida touchdowns.
Rogers has an uncarny ability to grab
the ball, no matter how it is thrown
to him and without consideration for
any kind of awkward position in which
he may find himself. Against Mary
land last year, without any scoring
until a minute from the end of the
fourth quarter, Chase began to throw
the ball to Rogers, and despite the fact
that Maryland sent two men to cover
him he still made the catches and was
almost entirely responsible for two of
the three touchdowns Florida made
and contributed largely to the third.
1t was Florida's forward passing at
tack that whipped North Carolina
State last week. The Raleigh school
apparently could not prevent those tall
ends from grabbing the ball and did
not cover the elusive and agile Brown
ANY team that stops Florida's passing
game has real job on its hands, and
Maryland will have to burn a lot of
plan to do it.
Maryland's passing attack has
worked well in every game, since it
completed something like IA out of 16
in its opening with st. Johns. Navy
did not stop the Old Liners, nor did
Virginia Polytechnic Institute. If both
Maryland and Florida keep up their
high standard in this type of play
there are likely to be few games this
year that should offer any better DEM
onstration of ball heaving.

North Dakota are setting the
pace for the Nations undefeated and

shows nearly so teams still boasting

.lV Manhattan may not work out
so well this week for Catholic
University. The boys from East
Lansing certainly wiped up the grid
iron, and then busted it off, with
Chick Meehan's young men, and that
kind of thing sets so badly with most
foot ball teams that they usually are
desperate for an opportunity to take
it out on somebody the following week.
From the size of the score by which
1t lost Saturday it would seem that
Manhattan may not be as strong as
was thought, but then Michigan State
has a powerful eleven and If such an
eleven once gets an opponent on the
run it may chalk up a much larger
score than one would think possible.
Catholic University would do well not
to take Manhattan too lightly, even If
the chances are good for victory.
Georgetown is in something of the
same position as regards its game with
New York University. The Blue and
Gray is going up against an eleven
that has been hitting the rocks, though
IL WOI1 11OAk CeeC 1ooS WIN, 0AAA
such elevens, If they have potential
power, are not the best kind OF oppo-
nents by a good deal. Georgetown
also had better think good deal be-
fore it goes to New York with any idea
in its collective head that 1t Is likely
to have an easy time.
George Washington's game Friday
night with Wake Forest Is something
of the same kind of game George
town and Catholic U. face. The Colo
malls ought to win, but will have in
front of them a hard-playing eleven
that always must be considered as
having an outside chance. The
Colonials at this stage of affairs seem
to stand a better chance to win than
either the Blue and Gray or Cardinals,
but may have a good deal more difh-

MARYLAND Promise Air Classic Sectional Games This Week Pivotal
Comeback Is Specially
With Mickey Walker
for Eight Years.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

TINE spring that made the "Toy
Bulldog" 60 are showing evi-
dences of rust and wear. The
pug-nosed, battle-scarred gent.
who was counted out by ring critics
eight years ago. is hearing his swan
song again, and this time unoeataoie
Papa Time is included In the chorus.
But Mickey Walker still thinks he has
one more good comeback in his system
and that our own climbing Matte
Brown will agree.
It Is probable that Matte will do SO.
for he is an obliging chap, but he may
not agree in the sense Walker means.
Mickey is confident he can lick Brown
Wednesday when they clash in the
Washington Auditorium, but judging
from Mates current form he probably
won't.
Walker finally may be washed up"
as title contender, but those who lay
it on the line Wednesday will receive
one of boxing's gilt-edged guarantees
of a fight and will see one of the great
est fighters in modern history. Ring
sters Of Walkers type are vanishing
Mickey is one of the last.
A free-spending sort Of a guy. who
has fought some Of his best fights in

A CTUALLY, this hard-nitten Irish
~ man, who started his ring career
back in 1919 by getting knocked
out by an obscure fighter in one round.
was counted out in 1926. That was
when, after reigning as welterweight
champion of the world from 1922 to
1926, following a title win over Jack
Britton, he was stopped by Baltimore's
Joe Dundee.
Then and there began the chant
that Walker had burned the candle
at both ends too long; had shot his
bolt But, somehow, Mickey teamed
up with Dr. Jack Kearns and in
scarcely no time at all had come
back and whipped Tiger Flowers for
the middleweight championship.
For six years-1926 to 1881
Mickey reigned as middleweight
champion of the world and finally
retired undefeated from the l60-
pound division. He had, incidentally,
taken a single shot at the light
heavy crown in the interim. losing a
whisker decision to Tommy Loughran
in Chicago.
BY a little plugging. he might
easily have duplicated Ruby Bob
Fitzsimmons' feat of winning
three titles, but Walker spurned
the 175-pound class and sought
heavyweight laurels.

preparations for their Wake Forest
game. But the preparations for the
Deacons call for lot more than

The Colonials, encouraged as they
are by chasing the Tulsa jinx after
four long years, face the difficult task
of keeping high their competitive
spirit for a foe rated not as strong
as the one just disposed Of. Wake
Forest, It's true, is team capable Of
making any rival put forth its best
efforts, but the North Carolina club
simply does not possess the name nor
the tradition, as far as G. W. Is con-
cerned, to arouse the Colonials to last

Furnishes Heavies.

CPOTTING his opponents poundage
ranging from 20 to so and go
pounds, Walker proceeded to
whale the heavies with his two-fisted
dynamite. In 1881 he held Jack
Sharkey to a draw and whipped
Johnny Risko, and in the following
year he added King Levinsky and
Paolino Uzcudun to his list Of notable
victims.
But in that same year, 1882, he
also was destined to drop the only
two decisions he had lost to heavy
weights.
And ever since Mickey Walker
hasn't been mentioned, for the
first time in more than a dozen
years, as a serious titular con-
tender.
Risko was the first heavy to beat
him and then, in his fourth bid for
a title in as many divisions, Walker
lost via knockout for the second time
in his career to Max Schmeling, then
heavyweight champ.
Like many fighters, Walker has
played the bright lights and cabarets,
and has taken severe financial lick
ingS.
Yet a mind clear as a bell still
insists that after Is years he has
really remarkable comeback
stored up.
This is doubtful. Yet don't envy

To Seaside

A new schedule for weekend
dances at Seaside Park Ballroom
was announced today by Frank
Flanagan, leader of the popular
orchestra at the Chesapeake Bay
resort. Henceforth the Flanagan
orchestra will play Saturday eve
nings from 8 p. m. until mid
night, Sunday afternoons from 3
p. m. to 6 p. m. and Sunday eve
nings from p. m. until mid
night.
Flanagan, with his genial Irish
smile and pleasant singing voice,
has already won host of friends
at Seaside, though this is his ini-
tial season at the beach. De
Vaughn Clements, the talented
drummer; Eddie Brown, the pi-
anist, and Ted Newell, saxophon-
list, also have large followingS.
They like their music "hot and
fast" at Seaside, according to
Flanagan, who knows how to
serve sizzling tunes. Dancing
daughters of 1884 want to do the
carioca and the shag, not the
old fashioned waltz. "Tiger Rag"
is the jazz number most frequent
ly requested. Washington young
folks think nothing Of jumping
into car and driving down to
the beach for an evening Of
dancing. Saturday night always
brings a gay dance crowd to the

A little less than a month ago.
the boy sat in his cell and studied
two things. He was looking at a
great sample of irony, although
he had no idea what the word
meant.
One thing was an item from a
New York newspaper. A doctor
had been arrested for practicing
illegally. He was a complete
fraud and had harmed q number
of poor people. This was the doc
tor to whom the boy had gone
with his father.
The second thing was letter
from his father. He knew moth.
ing, as yet, of his boys incarcera-
ton. The miSSive had been for
warded.
And So" the letter said in
part, "the docs out here says that
croaker in N. Y. must of been

had nothin but gas pains and
that there amt no use of my
sticken around here. So I'm
comm back to N. Y. very soon

No, the boy didn't know what
irony meant. But the loud chill.
