Petroskey, 6 foot 4 inch tackle, Is a
candidate for center, but must polish
up his floor game to grab the tap

While Mesmer is far from ready
to name his starting lineup, Gibeau

effective quint to date.
Nolan and Nau, two of the most
spectacular scholastic players IN re-
cent years, teamed with Basin last
year on the freshman team.
While the Hoyas will lack height,
Mesmer intends to Offset this with a
fast passing attack. The Hilltoppers

MIAMI GRID GAME
Must Beat Fork Union at
Richmond to Get Into
Florida Fray.
NJ AnnFn incentive

A N ADDED incentive will send
" Dewitt into its post-season
~ foot ball game with Fork
4 n Union Military Academy at
Richmond tomorrow thirsting for
victory.
According to reports from Florida,
the winner Of the Devitt-Fork Union
game will be invited to Miami to rep
resent the North in a Christmas day
game with some Miami high school.
The fray, being sponsored by the
Miami Chamber of Commerce, would
be a miniature bowl contest, bring
ing together intersectional high
schools, instead Of colleges.
Dewitt, however, needs no urging to
bring out its best tomorrow. Confident
that it has the best team in its his
tory, a large delegation from the
school will make the trip southwark
with the expectation of seeing its
favorites upset probably the best prep
school eleven in Virginia.
Anxious to get on the scene as soon
as possible both for a workout on the
field of play and a nights sleep near
the scene of combat, Coach Jim Nc
Namara and his squad were to leave
by bus at o'clock this afternoon, ar
irving in time for a short signal drill
before dinner.
Whether or not Joe Skomorack, all
State 190-pound tackle from Massa-
chusetts, will break into Devitt's start
ing lineup or not will not be decided
until tomorrow. Certainly he will not
replace Rube Hayman, one Of the best
tackles in local prep schools. but there
is a chance he will start in place OF
Jim Lewis.
Skomorack comes from Worcester,
home town of lt&am Zinkievich, the
"crashingest" fullback in town this
year. link will be striving to uphold
Devitt's record this year of not losing
a game in which he has been in the
lineup. Having scored an average of
two touchdowns per game, Adam is
ready to show Virginia folks why "us
Northerners" regard him as "the
tops
Phil De Murrio is the man Dewitt
must watch. The triple-threat quar-
terback is the main reason why Fork
Union was able to hold Staunton Mill
tary Academy to a 90 tie last week,
thereby earning the berth in the
American Legion classic. Up until that
game, Staunton was thought to be
without a peer among Virginia prep
school ranks.

Highly Praised.
BY JAMES PHELAN,
Head Coach. University Of Washington.

Head Coach. University of Washington.
VN COLLABORATION with my
scouts ! have selected the all
Coast team purely on the basis OF
Il ability and the amount of time
played in major games. California
and Stanford each rate three men.
These players have been Commute
performers and we're vital factors in
placing California and Stanford at
the top in the Coast Conference
This years team is slightly stronger
in the line than my last years all
Coast selection. The 1885 pick has a
line averaging 200 pounds, including
the ends. The backfield averages l85
pounds and presents the two strong
est runners on the Coast in Grayson
and Goddard
Can Pass and Kick.
THE kicking can be taken care Oh
l. by Goddard and Blower. For
the passing attack there are no TWO
the equal of them. Big Ed Nowo-
groski is the best bucker and blocker
on the Coast. He can back up
line and gain ground on wide sweeps
il necessary.
Grayson again is the team captain
and quarterback. He is a great leader
and a cool competitor. To back up
Grayson. I could use Meek OF Cali
fornia. He is a sophomore with great
blocking and defensive ability. There
is not much difference between Nowo-
grosh of Washington and Michek OF
oregon. Both are buckers, blockers
and good defensive men. Nowogroski
is picked because of his play against
stronger opposition. Other hard
hitting fullbacks are Dougherty,
Washington State; Cotton, California,
and Fink of U. C. L. A.
For reserve backs, would like to
have Schreiber, st. Marys; Cheshire'
U. C. L. A; Cain, Washington;
Sczkoch, Montana; Haines, Washing
ton, and Peterson of S. F. U.
Moscrip Is a Wonder.
NOV for the most important ele-
~ ment in foot ball strength-the
line. Starting at left end, Moscrip.
Stanford, stands in class by himself.
He is the smartest and fastest end on
the Coast. He blocks well, catches
passes and has won three games by
his field-goal kicking. 1t is pleasure
to watch him cover puntS and shift
his 1876 pounds of dynamite on de-
tense.
Erdlatz. St Mary's, draws the right
end assignment because of his block
ing and defensive ability. If could
pick three ends, my next choice would
be Topping, Stanford. Then I would
keep a weather eye on McChestney, U
i C. L. A., and Lazarevich, the Wash
ington captain. Riordan of Oregon Is
a valuable end because of his punting
There is considerable debate among
| coaches as to the relative strength
of the tackles. The four best are
Reynolds, Stanford; Lutz, California
Bjork, Oregon, and Barber, S. F. U
Reynolds is my first pick because he
has a better offensive charge and Is
the greatest kickoff man in the West
He is feet and weighs 220. Lutz

OLD POLICY LIKELY
FOR SCHOOL F|VES
Appears Now as if Friday
Afternoon Twin Bills
Would Be Staged.

w YHILE the Board Of Princi-
M pals probably will consider
Wv a plan to play interhigh
school basket ball games on
Friday night at Tech High School, 1t
appears unlikely that this play will
be adopted, since Georgetown has three
of its most important tilts scheduled
for the Tech gym on nights which
would conflict with the proposed plan.
Games with Pittsburgh, New York
University and Carnegie Tech listed
for Friday nights, it is improbable
that Georgetown would shift the
games, as there is no other local gym
with the seating capacity of Techs.
A change in the method adopted
last year, when half the games were
played at Roosevelt and half at Tech,
is imminent, however. The high
school series finished its worst sea-
son, financially, in the memory OF
John Paul Collins, treasurer of the
Interhigh Athletic Association, last
year.
Birch E. Bayh, head of the physical
education department; Lawrence
Brown, president of the association.
and Collins are in favor Of abandon
ing the present plan.
With Friday night games appar-
emily out of the question for this year,
it is possible that officials will recon-
mend the previous Friday afternoon
double-header policy.

All.Pacifc Eleven

205 pounds, IS tough on defense
and has blocked three kicks in major
games. Bond, Washington; Blye,
Washington State, and Nordstrom OF
California also are mo. l" tackles.
Guards Hard TO Pick.
A S USUAL, the guards are hard to
pick. Carter, Oregon, and Starce-
vich, washington, would make a great
pair. Both weigh 200 and have the
speed for getting out Of the line. They
cover punts well and can stop the
best driving attack Rouble. STAN
ford; Tenney, California, and Shper,
Washington, are the next best.
The center position is the backbone
of every line. To pick Herwig, Cali
fornia, ever Muller, Stanford, is a
close decision. Herwig wins my vote
with his exceptional height and de-
fensive ability both against runs and
passes. Herwig weighs 210 and plays
60 minutes every week. Muller tips
the beam at 220, but does not possess
the speed of Herwig.
Smith, Washington State; Dough-
erty, Santa Clara, and Wiatrak OF
Washington are good centers, but
Herwig and Muller are outstanding
stars.
