New Pass Defense.

FOLLOWING an offensive session
r on passes, Pixlee sent the var
sity on defense against Wander
bilt heaves, as attempted by the fresh
men. A new defensive formation was
adopted-an orthodox formation pre-
viously never employed by G. w. The
results we're encouraging, as the frosh
got away with few tosses. For most
of this drill the varsity backfield was
composed of George Jenkins, quar-
terback; Tuffy Leemans and Herb
Reeves, halfbacks, and Pete Breazeal,
fullback.
jenkins, who replaced Frank Kava-
lier early in the Wake Forest game,
demonstrated excellent pass defensive
ability, knocking down several Deacon
chuckS and bringing down all of the
receivers who did manage to snare the
ball on his side. Both Reeves and
Breazeal are recommended for pass
defense by their height, the former
standing 2 inches over feet and the
latter an even 6. Leemans, an ex-
ceptionally alert defensive man at all
times, already has shown his ability
to grab enemy aerials. In the Tulsa
game the G. w. ace snatched three
long tosses that would have spelled
disaster had they been completed.
Bill Parrish, veteran left end who
has starred in every game as his
team has come along unbeaten, was
improved last night, following an in
jury in practice. A freshman back
he was tackling fell heavily on Par

several things that might be smeared

Alabama Sitting Pretty.

THEORETICAL then, Washing
ton. Utah Aggies, Alabama
and Tulane seem to be in the
best strategic position at the mo-
ment because their remaining foes
all have been either beaten or tied.
But Washington Huskies, after
Oregon State this week, have STAN
ford, tied by Santa Clara, but un-
beaten; Washington State, unde-
feated in Coast Conference competi-
ton, and Southern California to beat.
The Utah Aggies may get along quite
we'll against Brigham Young, Colo
rado Aggies and Colorado Mines but
the last hurdle will be the biggest
the University of Utah. Tulane may
sweep through Mississippi, Colgate.
Kentucky and Sewanee, but the
Green Waves final game with pow
erful Louisiana State may be the
heart-breaker.
Alabama seems most likely of them
all to reach the main objective. The
Crimson Tide has hurdled what
,, seemed to be the biggest obstacle,
Tennessee. and now has Kentucky,
Clemson, Georgia Tech and Wander
bit in front. On the basis of re-
suits to date, there should be no
great danger to the Tides perfect
rating in these four last games.
Taking everything into considera-
tion, the best guess seems to be that
the end of the season will find Ala
bama. Michigan State, Minnesota, and
Princeton with their states clean of
tie or defeat.

Maryland games here Saturday, con-
sideration of one other contest on a
local gridiron, and between two home
institutions, seems to have been some

Be it remembered that not only do
George Washington, Georgetown
Catholic University and Maryland
have games with worthy opponents,
but American University and Gallau-
det meet in their annual struggle.
No great crowd is likely to attend
the American .-Gallaudet game, but
surrounding it will be all the frills-
and thrills-that are likely to be seen
and felt at other contests, except on a
smaller scale. But not one of the four
larger elevens that meet teams from
other parts will throw any more of
its energy into its efforts nor display
any greater courage and willingness
than those that represent the two
smaller schools.

|Rockne Makes Job Easy
for Scout Bergman;
Can't Down Silas.
BY JIM BERGMAN


- RIDIRoN espionage is a $500
f term denoting just plain ev-
eryday foot ball scouting.
The published report OF
Western Maryland's assistant coach,
Charley Havens, wherein ne rates
highly Catholic University's eleven,
cast a retrospective spell over Arthur
Dutch" Bergman.
The Brookland mentor dug down in
the memory chest and scraped the
moth flakes off a seven-year-old yarn
about one of his earlier scouting ex-
periences. For those of you who have
never heard it, this department will
give it a tell" for its worth as
faithful reflection of the genial nature
of that great Notre Dame maestro, the
late Knute Rockne.
In 1927 Doc" Spears, head coach
of Minnesota, hung out the Boy
Wanted" placard. and Dutch signed
up for the backheld inStructlng Job.
For several weeks things sailed along
serenely.
Then the Notre Dame clash
loomed in the offing, 10 days
distant. Spears sent for his new
assistant and began a round
the mulberry bush discussion Of
what he considered apparently
a very ticklish question; that Of
sending Bergman to scout his
old alma pappy at South Bend.
When the truth outed. as it has a
way of doing, Dutch gulped down a
mammoth horse-chestnut that sud-
denly arose for conference with his
Adams apple. But he was game-un-
flinchingly he responded:
Sure, I'll go chief, it's all in the
line of coaching duty; that's what
I'm paid for!"

High Spot for Them.

u ALLAUDET and American Uni
II versity play what is to each of
them the biggest game of the
season. And each gives just as much
time to special preparation, to the end
that no stone be left unturned in its
effort to provide for its followers the
thrill of victory over its greatest rival.
This game between A. U. and Gal
laudet deserves more support than it
is likely to get on such a crowded
week end, for the simple reason that
there are no higher ideals nor resolves
in the athletic world than are repre-
sented in the play and in the policies
of these two schools. And further
than that, comparatively speaking,
both are likely TO play type of foot
ball that would compare well with
that of their larger sister institutions.

1t was one of the worst body blows
poor Silas had ever taken; his jaw
sagged, his knees almost folded. But
he quickly rallied, a wave of inspira-
ton famed up in his eyes-he became
almost jittery with the brilliance Of
an idea.

n YEW YORK, November 1.-The
nj first move in Bill Terry's re-
Y construction campaign brings
Dick Bartell, peppery shortstop
of the Phillies, to the New York
Giants in exchange for a bundle of
cash and four players, including Blon-
dy they can't beat us) Ryan.
To snare Bartell the Giants were
forced to give up Ryan, Johnny Ver-
gez, George Watkins and a rookie
pitcher, John Puzzelo as well as cash
estimated at $4,000.
National League critics studied the
deal closely and then decided nobody
had been cheated. Bartell, one of the
leagues finest shortstops, should make
the Giant infield. The Phillies, in
turn, get third baseman, Vergez; a
shortstop. Ryan; an outfielder, Wat
kins; pitcher, Puzzelo, and the cash
with which to invest in more playing
material.

He is the calmest coach I've ever

Tigers Heavy Favorites.

DRINCETON and Harvard resume
foot ball relationships again this
week, and unless the Crimson is
far better than it was against either
Holy Cross or Dartmouth it will be
not much more than a choice morsel
for the Tiger. Princeton's power and
versatility on both attack and defense,
with its excellent material, present a
real problem for Harvard coaches.
If the problem is solved it probably
will be in some unexpected way, be-
cause by all the yardsticks by which
comparative strength in foot ball is
measured Princeton seems much the
better. The fact that Princeton has
not played as many hard games as
Harvard might be accepted as evidence
that Harvard has had more chance to
develop, but good offense is not built
in difficult games. Princeton has had
much greater opportunity to shape
up its offense than Harvard.

Smart Teams.

THE point came up last night at
a foot ball debate concerning
the smoothest and the smartest
teams so far.
In this list one must include Mich
igan State, Colgate and the Navy,
which not only have an extra amount
of deception to call on, but which
handle this deception with fine abil-
ity.
Neither Colgate nor Navy has any
Minnesota or Alabama man power,
but they Offset this lack of bulk with
speed and a repertory of plays that
will keep any defense dizzy. Col
gates two jobs against the superior
man-power of Ohio State and Holy
Cross are among the best to date.

Taken With Grain of Salt.

DRESS reports from foot ball camps
sometimes are colored to meet
what are thought to be the re-
quirements of any particular camp
and for the three contests here Sat-
urday it seems that there is a una
nimity in the lack of optimism on
the part of teams to do the visiting.
OF course, this may be feigned, and
Vanderbilt, Western Maryland and
Virginia have an entirely different at
titude than that indicated in. reports
from their home towns, but some
news stories seem to show genuine wor-
riment to an extent that none of the
visiting teams feel that they have bet
ter than an even chance, and possibly
not that good.
Pessimism also seems to mark ad-
vance dope on foot ball squads. 1t
will be remembered that Berries of
Navy was in the hospital nearly all
week and probably would not be able
to play in the Columbia game, but
might get in for a few minutes in
case of dire necessity. Actually, Bor-
ries was the brilliant and outstand-
ing star of that particular contest. 1t
may be that some of the young men
at Vanderbilt, Virginia and Western
Maryland, now fit candidates for a
home for cripples, will prove the same
kind of a cripple that Berries was.
Notwithstanding press reports, COL
ored as they may or may not be, the
work of preparation for these games
goes merrily on. The teams due to
visit here are putting in some hard
licks, shaping their offense and build
ing their defense to get the most out
of their men against the particular
type of play employed by the local
schools.
And the local schools are doing the
same thing in getting ready to take
the field with the best possible knowl-
edge of what their opponents may do
