Of Briscoe, lanky halfback, Arm
strong Tech bowled over the
speedy Bates High eleven Of An
napolis, Md, 20 to 0, in the
Walker Stadium yesterday.
Briscoe simply led his team
mates to victory. He scored two
touchdowns and was the main
stay of the running attack. Early
in the first quarter. after Tech
had carried the ball down to the
visitors 10-yard line, BriScoe went
through for a score, and again as
the contest was in its closing min
utes he crossed the line for an
other touchdown.
Freeman, clever little quarter
back, added the other touchdown
and two extra points after touch
down. His generalShip was good
and with the heavy line the Tech
boys are out to score over all op-
ponents.
Bates used deceptive plays
throughout the game but could
never get going. Several times
they were on the road down the
field, but lost the ball by means
of an intercepted pass or on
downs. The visitors registered
seven first downs and Tech II.

at Annapolis today when Navy
clashes with Maryland.
Terps Troublesome
The Terrapins, using Warner
football from the double wing
back formation will give the Mid
dies plenty of trouble, critics
seem to agree. Maryland'S line
averages about 1876 pounds with
the back field at about ITO, give
or take a few pounds.
Navy, with II letter men re-
turned from last years team is in
pretty good condition for the
game. One of the best football
men I know is the authority for
the statement that the Midship-
men are going to have one of the
best team of recent years. This
opinion is more or less borne out
by the quiet confidence that
marks the men around McDon-
ough Hall.
Buzz Berries, 175-pound senior,
is a better football player this
year than he has been heretofore,
and that's saying plenty. Three
times this year Berries has broken
away on long gamers and scored
touchdowns. His cut back and
skill at picking up interferers
down field has accounted for his
scoring.
Clark A Veteran
Bill Clark, punter and passer,
blocker and line supporter, is a
veteran star at Navy, and a boy
of whom you will hear much this
year. Clark weighs ITS pounds and
is a real man at his weight.
Maryland has good punter in
Guckeyson, but it is doubtful if he
will match Clark's skill in placing
the ball, nor equal his distance
down field. Nelson is good pun
ter for Maryland.

Where Ball SCribes
Find Needed Rest-In
Old Pittsburgh TOlUn.
By BILL CoRUM

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 13.
Underneath my hotel room lies
Forbes Field. Forbes Field is
the home of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, and this is the only
town on the National League
circuit, and likely any other
circuit, where it is possible for
a laz,. baseball writer to cover
the game without undergoing
the torture known as getting
out Of bed.
1t is a tough, backbreaking.
nerve-wracking job-that busi-
ness of trouping with the base
ball ivory. Often as I look back
on my own five years Of it, I
wonder how managed TO sur
vive the strain.
Florida in the spring, the
world series in the fall, special
trains, deep-rug hotels, takes
at the stations, somebody TO
watch out for your baggage as
MANY meals a day as your waist
line will permit, and sometimes
as much as three pages OF copy
to be ground out every day OF
the week.
AS I say, I often wonder how
I managed to stand it off and
still keep my bright Christmas
morning disposition and unfur-
rowed brow. But here in Pitts
burgh, if you could contrive to
get in one of those high back
rboms overlooking the field,
there was a brief respite from
beaver-like industry and a sur
cease from sorrow.
Whereas in other cities it
might be necessary to struggle
out of those ShuckS as early as
II a. M, here, If you were lucky,
you could let your conscience be
your guide. And when it comes
to the bright and shining virtue
of hitting the deck at some such
first peep O. dawn as. for eX-
ample, 9 a. M, 1 for one, have
no conscience.
None of which has the slight
est to do with today's text,
which deals with the strange
young men Of sport who seem
to have everything and yet
never get anywhere with it. Or,
at any rate, never to reach the
heights to which their talents
seem to entitle them.
Case of boy Wonder"
1t probably was the prox-
unity of Forbes Field that
started me thinking of my
friend, Freddy Lindstrom, and
Freddy Lindstrom is per-
feet example of the type of
athlete I have in mind. He
still is at this writing a mem
ber of the Pirates, although it
is reasonably certain that he
will not be when it is spring
time in the Alleghenies again.
The Pittsburgh club recently
asked for waivers on him, and
every team in the National
League waived. which would
lead you to believe that Lind
strom was no longer a major
league ball player. If Cincin-
natl couldn't use him, what
team in the majors could?
And yet every fan from here
to Kokomo knows that Freddy
still is, or still should be, a
star ballplayer with any club.
He can hit, run, throw, think.
What else could he be asked to
do?
Don't answer nothing"
That's wrong. The answer is
that he could be what is known
as a winning player, and that,
for some unaccountable reason,

7CHEVY CHASE-LNDLAN SPRING MATCH WATTS
; HOU Can You Explain
The Strange Case of
Sir Freddy LindstrOm?

Not from the very first, when
he broke in with the New York
Giants virtually direct from the
college diamond Of Loyola. in
Chicago, has LindStrom been a
winner. That was in the fall Of
1924, if you recall, when over
night he became the hoy won-
der" of the series between the
Giants and the Senators.
"Old swede" Finally Won
One of the counry's we'll
known newspaper commentators
got his first break in that series
on the strength Of a story COM
pairing and contrasting the
young Swede" Nindstrom
and the "Old Swede" CWalter
Johnson. This writer, who no
longer deals with sports SUBJ
jects, has gone upward and on
ward.
But Freddie, whose opportu-
nifty at the time seemed brighter
than the young scribe's, at first
stood still and then began to go
back almost by the time he had
reached the age of maturity.
What happened?
There is no way of knowing.
Even then, however, he did
not turn out to be a winner.
For five dayS it looked as
though he couldn't fail to knock
what was to prove to be John
McGraw'S last world series into
the New York bat bag. And
then, right under the wire the
"Old Swede" came along to out
nod him-and the Giants.
And so it has gone right
through Lindy's career. He was
going to be the greatest third
baseman since Jimmy Collins,
until one day it was discovered
he had too many, or too few.
vertebra in his back and would
have to be made over into an
outfielder.
To Forget Burns
Out on the picket line he was
going to make the polo grounds
fans forget George Burns, who
caught $50 flies one season
while tanglefoot flypaoer was
catching 100000. Or so it
used to say on the left field
fence. But he never did make
the fans forget George.
Then he was going to be
manager of the team WHEN
McGraw was through. But Bill
Terry got the job and promptly
led the boys to a pennant and
world championship.
BY then Freddie was here in
Pittsburgh, where the papers
said he was going to round out
the greatest outfield the game
had seen since Hooper, Lewis
and Speaker-the two Waner5
and Lindstrom. He never did
that, either.
And now he is on the block
to go to the highest bidder,
and nobody seems to want him.
So I suppose we'll have to put
him down on the list of those
who just somehow seem to
miss.
