Virginia Is Dangerous.


NEARYLAND'S defensive problem
NI against Virginia does not seem
to be so much the develop
ment of plan to stop a smashingly
effective attack, but to avoid doing
the things which give a team like
Virginia opportunities to score. Vir-
ginia is something like the old Prince
ton teams, which used to score touch
downs and win even when they could
not gain ground with its attack. 1t
was q defensive-opportunist team, and
Virginia seems to be something like
that this year.
That kind of a team depends for
its scores on mistakes by the opposi-
ton, and it is true that Maryland
has been making mistakes of that
kind all season, with the exception
of its game with Florida. Mistakes
like that enabled Virginia Polytechnic
Institute to have Maryland on the
short end of 9-to-7 score at the end
Of the third period without having
made but one first down.
Virginia all this year has been tax
ing advantage of such mistakes and
it is Maryland's job this week to see
that such mistakes are eliminated.
This is the real danger that Mary
land faces.

Huston Wants Dodgers.

THE only trouble with this sug-
gestion is that, first, the Amer
lean League would have to be
hypnotized into parting with one Of
its biggest individual assets to a rival
concern, and, secondly, that the Bos-
ton National League club ownership
would have to change hands.
Another possibility cropped up yes
terday when Col. Tillinghast L. Huston,
former half owner of the Yankees, who
was instrumental in bringing Ruth
to New York, remarked that if the
Brooklyn club was for sale at the right
price, he was prospective buyer and
wanted the Babe for manager.
The matter appeared to go no
further, however, as Huston has taken
no steps toward making purchase
and his statement seemed to arise
merely from his admiration for Ruth
and from reports that the Dodgers
were on the block.

CLUBS RELUCTANT
To MAKE GAMBLE.
Coin Demand Too Big for
MagnateS-Braves Deal
Seems Spiked.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n YEw YORK, october Silt
M has become increasingly evi-
dent, if not absolutely definite,
that there is no opportunity
In the American League for Babe
Ruth to fulfill his ambition to launch
O managerial career next season.
What will happen after 1885, when
Joe McCarthy's contract runs out with
the Yankees, and perhaps other
vacancies develop, remains to be seen.
Meanwhile the Babe is in the po-
sition of having burned his bridges
behind him, with no place to go after
he finishes a trip around the world.
He had publicly declared himself out
of the player ranks, which makes it
official, but it is difficult to imagine
his retirement, even if there isn't a
managers job available. Besides, the
great man can always change his
mind.

Clark Great General.

ARL DUTCH" CLARK, former
T. Colorado College star and an
all-America quarterback in
1928, has been brilliant, scoring three
touchdowns in seven minutes against
Brooklyn and running the team and
playing in a manner qualifying him
for the title-"Ty Cobb Of pro foot
ball" He counted II points against
Cincinnati with two touchdowns, one
an 82-yard run: field goal and con-
version of points after touchdown.

LIONS ARE RATED
PERFECT ELEVEN
Unscored On Detroit Pros
Have Power, Speed
and Smartness.
BY EARL HILLIGAN.
Associated Press Stan Writer.

~ ETROIT. October 31.-The
perfect foot ball team-that's
what fans in Detroit are call
ing the Detroit Lions, now
tied with the Chicago Bears for the
leadership Of the National Professional
League.
Power and speed and smart gener-
alship on offense, with a stonewall
defense which has not allowed a point
thus far this season, has convinced
many close observers OF the game
here that the Lions constitute the
greatest eleven ever assembled in
either professional or amateur ranks
The winning of games, and not the
running up of scores, has been the
goal Of the Silver and Purple ag-
gregation, and the coach, Potsy Clark
The New York Giants went down to
a 9-to-0 defeat in the Lions opener,
then the Chicago Cardinals fell 6-to-O
Three Points Enough.
CREEN BAYS Packers proved
" more troublesome, but three
points from q field goal, with
a forward wall that made the Packers
look very weak on offense, was enough
for third victory. Lengthening their
stride, the Lions beat Philadelphia S
Eagles 10-to-0, and then lashed out
suddenly with powerhouse attack to
sweep Boston out of the way, 24-to-O
They took Brooklyn into camp 28-to-0
and hung up victory No. 7 Sunday
by romping over the Cincinnati Reds
on their old stamping grounds at
Portsmouth, Ohio, 38-to-0.
Only one team has been able to get
the ball to the Lions 2O-yard line
The Brooklyn Dodgers had possession
of the oval on that mark by a tumble.
In three downs they lost as many
yards. And the Lions great line has
been consistently strong. Bill McKalp
and Harry Ebding at the ends, Jack
johnson and Capt. George Christen-
sen at the tackles, Robert Emerson
and Morris Bodenger at guards and
Vhuck Bernard and Clare Randolph
alternating at center have consistently
bottled up backs, who by reputation
were expected to run wild.

Babe Too Big a Gamble.

Babe Too Big Gamble.
TN RAPID succession within the past
fortnight the possibility of Ruth
becoming manager of the Phila-
delphia, Boston or washington club
In the American League has been
discussed and discarded. 1t is nc
secret that most major league mag
mates consider the Babe too big a
gamble, as a manager, to justify the
substantial investment required in
signing him up.
Ruth unquestionably has the back
ground, the personality and many o1
the qualifications essential to becom-
ing a successful major league man.
ager," one club owner explained re-
Gently. There should be a spot
where he could have a chance to
show what he can do with ball
club but, frankly, don't know any
body willing to undertake the expert
ment The big question concerns
Ruth's ability to maintain discipline
He has never had such responsibility
1t Is also doubtful whether he would
take the time and exhibit patience
necessary to building up a second
division club. Meanwhile the more
successful teams do not need him."
Detroit Considered Him.
TINE Detroit Club considered Ruth
as a managerial prospect last
year, before putting through
the deal for Mickey Cochrane The
Babe was understood to have asked a
substantial 'cut" in the gate receipts,
in addition to a salary of 100000,
but the Tigers owners couldn't 'see"
it. Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington Senators, discarded the
chance to make a similar arrange
ment with the Yankee veteran for
1885, after selling Joe Cronin to the
Boston Red Sox for S150,000.
Boston, where he started his big
league career, has always seemed the
ideal spot for Ruth, if and when he
should leave New York. Now that
the Red Sox have decided to put
Cronin in charge for a five-year
period, one of the Babes fondeSt
dreams appears definitely shattered
All this brings up the possibility
of Ruth going to the National League
as a manager. 1t is highly specula-
tive subject, but it is worth noting
that the Boston Braves, busily bat
ting the rejuvenated Red Sox for
patronage, might furnish an ideal
background to exploit the Bambino as
a master mind"

~ ONE months ago they planted |
a back tee for that eighteenth |
hole at Congressional, changing
the hole from q mere matter
of 2s5 yards to q wallop Of about
$40 yards. It stretches from hill
top to hilltop, with a deep valley
and a little lake stretching between.
The green never had been driven
from the back tee except under un-
usually favorable conditions, such as
q following wind, unusually hard
ground, or some other circumstance
favoring the hitter.
Roland Mackenzie stood on that
elevated tee yesterday and cut loose
with one that ended Just Is feet to
the left of the pin. His putt tor
an eagle deuce literally hung on the
lip, where only blade of grass kept
it from dropping in. Il didn't think
it could be DONE" said Roland. Be
cause there is a slight wind against
us. But there is the ball"
Older members Of the club shook
their heads and wondered If there
is any limit to the distance this
young man can hit the ball. For the
green is higher than the tee and
any ball that travels $40 yards on
level ground has been hit plenty. That
bird 3 gave Roland a 72 for the
round, just exactly par for his home
course, and a sweet victory over Al
Houghton, Kenwood pro, who is in
the throes of one of those slumps that
affect all good golfers at some time
or other.
Houghton took 79 for the round,
probably the highest score he has re-
corded at Congressional since he
turned pro a half-dozen years ago.
The lost shots came around the putt
ing green, where AL was unable TO
get the ball close enough to hole the
putt. Later Al and Roland played
a nine-hole exhibition match at Ken
wood for the Cosmopolitan Club and
Roland holed a IS footer across the
ninth green to square the match after
Al had holed a pitch shot from a
bunker at the eighth to take the lead.
They scored 37s for the nine.
TOUGHTON announced that the
Kenwood Club has postponed
the match in which Walter
Hagen and Olin Dutra were scheduled
to appear on September because
Walter didn't do the club the courtesy
of answering his mail, and because Of
its proximity to the Glens Falls open
and the National Capital open tour

getting Dutra here no one knows,

Roland Mackenzie is interested in
