II ginias eleven last Fall only as
an expedient, and so stated when
he accepted the job, but Is SO highly
regarded at Charlottesville that he
may continue to handle foot ball,
along with basket ball and base ball.
Coaching three teams like that,
though, throughout the whole college
year is too much of strain and
should not be done by any man If 1t
could be avoided.

Bergman at Catholic University ap-
parently are fixtures as long as they
desire to keep their jobs.
The general quality Of foot ball
played in this section speaks well for
the coaching. The teams stood up
we'll against elevens from other sec
tions and played some great games
among themselves. North Carolina,
for instance. beat Georgia and Geor-
gia Tech, Richmond defeated Cornell,
Washington and Lee lost to Princeton
by only IL to IA. Maryland gave In
diana a great 14-to-17 battle, and
30 on.
While usually it is not considered as

MARYLANDS RULE
ON SEM|-PRO GRID
Gain Top by 1870 Victory
Over Palace Eleven at
Seat Pleasant.

M day are on top of the semi
v pro foot ball heap hereabout.
Already virtually assured
Of the National City League unlimited
title, the Marylands yesterday fur
ther established their superiority by
putting down a hard-fighting Palace
A. c. eleven, 1870, in Duffy Stadium
at Seat Pleasant before one of the
largest crowds to see a sandlot foot
ball game hereabout in some time.
A keen rivalry was accentuated
when Palace, which defeated M. A. c.
earlier in the campaign, 1876, and
went on to capture the f1rst-hah crown
in the National City League, was BAN
ished from the loop because Of failure
to keep scheduled second engage
ment with the Seat Pleasant outfit.
For three periods the Palace eleven,
National City League 150-pound cham
pion last season, fought the heavier
M. A. c. team to a standStill, but in
the final quarter the Marylands, with
Snail De Labre, veteran sandlotter,
and Willis Benner, coach and quarter
back and former University of Mary
land athlete, heading the attack,
showed over two touchdowns.
A twisting ,32-yard run by Benner
set the stage for the first touchdown.
Frank Cumberland, former Western
Maryland gridder, plunged over. The
second touchdown came on a passing
attack. De Labre scored after Cum
berland passed to Benner on the q
yard line.
Palaces lone scoring opportunity
came in the third period when r. Ver-
non blocked punt and Pell recovered
on Maryland's %. But the Southwest

some rival horses in the eye and say,
Let's CO."
The Big Train looks as well in train
ing as he ever looked. Just how he
will be, after a long lay-off, against
such horses as Cavalcade, Equipoise,
Head Play and other topnotchers re-
mains for future chapter. Equipoise
will go into training at once. Bill
Brennan expects to start Twenty
Grand at least four times before the
100000 shot comes of, and Equipoise
will get about the same going over.
Both still are CANDLES, but both still
are to be reckoned with on a good
day.
Looking Ahead.
TINE arrival of several hundred
i race horses hasn't impeded the
drift of foot ball coaches in this
direction, looking to the Rose Bowl
game.
And most Of them now are looking
toward 1885. Who will be the leaders
then? Elmer Layden of Notre Dame
offers a guess in the direction of Ohio
State and Pittsburgh.
Just watch these two teams" he
said. Especially Ohio State"
What about Minnesota" asked
him.
Sure to be good, but suppose you
had a squad which had lost Kostka,
Lund, Bevan, Larson, Clarkson and
four or five more in the star claSs?"
How about Notre Dame?" asked
Layden.
Better than this year." he said
maybe. We have set of good backs
ready, including Pilney, Shakespeare,
Mike Layden, Fromhart and one or two
more. But we lose some good linemen
and that's where the battle starts"
= At this point Bob Zupke was taking
another practice swing.
What about Illinois?" I asked the
painting philosopher.
1--WE may lose every game" Zup said,
"and still look good. You can do that
in the Big Ten. Any way, I'll have
Lindberg back and he will be a help.
Well be hght-but smart and fast"
1t generally was agreed that both
Howard Jones and Harry Kipke of
Southern California and Michigan had
long way to go with their 1885 ma
terial. They had rough Shedding in
1894 and they lose most of their few
remaining stars.
Stanford and Washington retain the
best material on the West Coast, and
both are sure to be around the top.
But the toughest section looks to be
the Southwest, where Rice, Southern
Methodist, T. c. u, Texas and others
keep most Of their stars in the strong
est foot ball sector Of the waning year.
You can keep an eye on the Southwest
and you won't miss the main trail.

Conferences Act Unusual.

~HE Southern Conferences action
in passing a motion to make
possible the acquisition Of new
members without doing anything to
take In new members, on the face OF
it, may seem just little unusual.
However, the conference had definitely
in mind certain factors which prob
ably caused it to take that action.
These factors, while not announced
may become very apparent within the
next year.
Right now the conference seems to
be in something of quandary as to
membership. Several members are
desirous of admitting to membership
two schools that have very pleasant
relations with these members. but
other schools are not willing to admit
these unless others are taken in. The
Executive Committee of the conference
deadlocked on this issue Friday night
In a meeting that lasted four hours.
The Southern Conference and
Southeastern Conference have agreed
to change their present arrangement
for handling of foot ball officials. The
central booking Office will continue to
get its support from each conference,
but there will be no more meetings of
coaches for selecting officials. Each
coach, under the new arrangement, is
to furnish the central booking Office
with q list Of acceptable officials and
from such lists the officials are to be
named by the man in charge of the
booking Office. In this way no coach
will know what officials he will have
for his games until announcement of
all appointments is made.
No change has been made in the
places where the annual Southern
Conference boxing and basket ball
tournaments have been held. The
first Is to- be continued for another
year at the University Of Virginia and
the second at Raleigh, N. c., under
the oversight of North Carolina State
College. OF course, committees ap-
pointed by the conference are In
charge of the tournaments and make
all arrangements and rules therefor. ~

Hacks sad case was mentioned the

spell this year.
IF Hack takes of 40. pounds between

Jimmy, II may be able to use him
again as a ball player. Otherwise,

And what will Hack do If you can't
use him?" some one inquired.
"Well," said James, "he want
ed to be a prixefighter once,
didn't he? Maybe he can fight"
There Is no maybe about it. Hack
can fight, and frequently does. One
time, as pointed out by Jimmy Wilson,
he became so interested in professional
fighting that he hurled formal chal-
lenge at the great Arthur Shires. The
great Arthur considered the PROPOSE
ton, but was unable to accept 1t be-
cause Of the interference of Judge
Lands, who notified both boys that
their fighting days were over.

Of service in the Big Ten. Hanley

shared the conference title twice.

THE judge has no reason to inter-

now. In fact, he has every rea-
son to help it along. Hack will not
be much good to base ball unless he
takes of the 40 pounds of flesh stipu-

ably could do as well against Baer In
the prize ring as Camera did. He
would be able to retire comfortably on
the proceeds Of his double elimination

In addition to Hack Wilson I'd like

He still had no definite comment

"All we knew about it was some ru-

Huey Long became annoyed when
Oregon led Louisiana State in the
first half Of their game Saturday and
he gave voice to his opinion on how
the team was being handled. He
sought to make a pep" talk to the
team at the half, but Biff Jones OBJ
jected.
The argument became so heated
that the coach threw his hat to the
ground and shook his finger under
