Yards" McCauley.
Averages Eight Yards
He plows through lines eight

yards, if the blocking backs be.
fore him do any sort Of job of
work. He has averaged just
about eight yards per rush for
the season, and he loves the
strife Of football.
Eight Yards" McCauley ruined
the Texas Longhorns last Satur-
day down In Austin. He caught
a kickoff and scored in less
than a dozen plays that sent
him through the line and off
the tackles, with a sweep here
and a cut-back there. Nothing
like him had '1een seen on the
picturesque campus of the Long
horns in many and many a day.
McCauley gained 1876 yards in
less than three full periods.
Well, sir, Eight Yards" Nc
Cauley Is coming to Washington
to spend next Saturday showing
the young men of George Wash.
ington University just exactly
how the Texas halfbacks hit a
line.
Bill Reinhart, coach of the
ColonialS, flew down to Austin
to see Rice in action. He came
home pop-eyed over the way
those Texas boys cut loose. Bill
played football and baseball at
Oregon. He knows the ways of
men in the broad reaches. But
he is willing to bear witness
that if the Colonials can stop
McCauley, they will have stopped
the greatest line plunger seen
around and about this neck of
the woods in many and many a
day.
Howard Brain" Nichols is
the center of the Owls. Nichols
is said to be a bit light for the
usual style of line backing as
most centerS play the game. But
he can stop plungeS. He plays
the way Glib Cool played some
years ago, and there were better
centers than that youth.
Grab Off Best Tackler
The Michigan style in select
| ing centerS is to grab off the best
tackler who is big, strong and
courageous. Regardless Of pre-
vious experience in football he
is stationed behind the defensive
lines in Michigan's six-man de-
fenSes. The tackler nearest to
the man chosen as center, pro
viding he is at all fast and can
block is the fullgack. They are
picked primarily for their defen-
sive qualities.
Nichols lives up to the stand.
ard on the Owls. His forte, how
ever, lies in pass defense. He can
get into position to bat down q
ball about as well as any center
we've seen. One Of the strong
points in favor of the Owls next
to the dynamic McCauley is the
quartet Of tackles. They're all
first-string men, all big and pow
erful. They figure to S:ve the
Colonial attack fits while they're
in the game.
Greens Prime for Eli
Earl Blaik will send his Dart
mouth varsity on its great adven-
ture on Saturday. Undefeated and
united the Green has advanced
steadily toward peak forO the
battle with Yale. Year after year
the Green has stormed into New
Haven for the battle with the
Bulldog, sometimes topheavy IA
vorite, sometimes rated as for
lorn hope. Always something hap
pened and Yale won.
Now Dartmouth scents the vic
tory it has sought through the
years. Yale showed the effects Of
the grind Of playing Penn, Navy
and Army on consecutive Satur-
days. The Cadets could not stop
the dynamic Larry Kelly from
scoring and otherwise playing his
game. Kelly is a threat to Dart
mouth or to any other team he
faces. With Kelly raging on the
ends, every game is a personal
battle between the spirit of the
Celtic incarnate and the common
foe.
