Their Clever Passing Puts

Special Dispatch to The Star.
A NNAPOLIS, October 30.-Two
~ Navy backs-Fay Willsie and
~ Bill Ingram-who up to this
n time have not reached any
higher than second and third string,
respectively. may get their real chance
in the Princeton game next Saturday,
according to the indications being CIV
en- on the practice field at Annapolis
this week
Both are crack passers. an element
in which the first-string backs have
shown little strength so far this sea-
son, and the feeling here is that the
passing Of the team must improve be-
fore it can hope to win from its ma
jor opponents.
Willsie and Ingram are excellent
carriers also. but their work as passers
has stood out against that of the
other backs. Tom Hamilton, recog-
nizing the weakness of the team ii
this phase. is trying to better it by
the work he is doing with all the
backs this week and by the special
use Oh ClleSe TWO.
Shifted to Fullback.
WILLSIE. who has been the quar-
W terback of the second combina-
tion, Is now playing at fullback on
the first string, along with Dick Pratt,
Tom King and Sneed Schmidt. Yes
terday. in practice, he not only did
some good passing. but he got off for
touchdown run of two-thirds the
length of the field.
Doubt as to the practicability of
using Frank Case IN the Princeton
game, has given Willsie his chance
Case was on the field yesterday, but
his injury is not coming along as we'll
as hoped, and Willsie is being groomed
for the fullback work. He weighs ITS
pounds and Is Oh the varsity for the
second season.
Ingram, scion of the best known
Navy foot ball family, made his var
sity debut against Yale and played a
longer period against Notre Dame.
His fine passing, as well as other
qualifications, makes 1t likely that he
will be in the game still longer against
the Tigers.

Get Western College Players.

Get Western College Players.
THEORETICALLY. there is no rea-
son for this. Each club is free to
make an offer to any college player it
wants in any part of the country.
But it does happen that the Western
clubs snatch off the Western college
players and the Eastern clubs are
pretty we'll stocked up with Eastern
ers. Fordham. for example. is virtu-
ally a training farm for the New York
Giants.
When you look at the college scores
this season you see why this makes
for a difference in quality between the
pro clubs in the East and West.
Western and Southern college teams
beat Eastern colleges as much as Is
per cent of the time. The pro clubs
inherit this geographical advantage.
The case of Pittsburgh is an
other lesson in geography.
Pittsburgh's pro club recruits almost
entirely from the State of Pennsyl-
vania. and Pennsylvania colleges have
been enjoying a boom in foot ball in
the last few years This shows in
the work of the Pirates. one of the
most improved clubs in pro foot ball
Yet. under the present system, the
Giants have Just as good a chance
as they had last season of winding
up with the championship. They
we're not as good team as the Bears
in 1884. but they copped the title in
one game on the brilliant last-minute
running Of Ken Strong. Any team
is likely to go to town in one game.
Pro foot ball is great pastime
worth developing, and it seems
to stand in need of couple of
developments now.
One is change in the play-off
system, and the other is a better
geographical apportionment of play
ers. AS matters stand, the play-off
game is just one-day show, an
extra piece of exploitation. The
championship should not go with it.
Base ball might have a few sug-
gestions to offer pro foot ball in the
matter of recruiting players. In fact.
it might not be a bad idea for each
pro club to get itself a couple of
colleges for farms, send its own
coaches in to handle the boys in their
amateur days, and promote them to
the pro rank as soon as they are
ready. Very few college presidents
could object to this scheme on the
ground that their boys are too pure
for 1t.

But have growing suspicion that
the Giants are inferior to at least
three of the Western clubs. The score
seldom tells the whole story in a
pro foot ball game A few days ago,
for instance, the Chicago Cardinals
slipped past the Giants in the last
minutes of play and won by the
feathery margin of IA to 49, Yet the
Cardinals play far better brand of
foot ball than DR.. Masa's men.
So do the Chicago Bears and
the Green Bay Packers. So. at
times. do the Lions of Detroit.
The Giants have a run-and-play
system which doesn't compare with
the brilliant. open technique of the
Western teams.

I Asst year. in game between the
- Bears and Detroit, I thought I
had seen foot ball carried to the high
est point of its development. This
week, though, the Cardinals showed
something which is potentially even
better. They reduced the pre-ar-
ranged. line-of -scrimmage maneuver
to its lowest and simplest element and
spread the game &ide open.
That sounds complicated. Here Is
what the Cardinals do. They allow
the enemy line to charge in. Then

ing with this system. and the Giant
line was sometimes able the other day
to break up play before it got
started. The system requires perfect
timing by the blockers and a delayed
getaway by the ball carrier. But it
opens up the field and scrambles the
defense. 1t sets the stage for any
sort of running or passing play.
I'VE pull 'em in and break 'em up
and then we CO." summarized the
Cardinal coach, Milan Creighton, after
the game with the Giants. "At least,
that's what we try to do. The Giants
are a fast team and sometimes they
outran u.s."
The Bears and Packers are as
tough as the Cardinals, in their
own way.
Each of them is a better-looking
club than the Giants. And the Giants,
of course, are the class Of the East.

day, but I'll guarantee that when the
sun goes down Saturday Rice will
know it has been in foot ball battle. "
Brave words, these, but it is fact
that the G. w. morale is not as low
as might be expected. The second
stringers particularly are hoped up.
They hope to see lots of action in the
Rice game. Jim PiXlee tried to get
through the contest with Alabama
using only II men, thinking his re-
serves were pulpy, but found he'd
made a mistake in appraising some
of his men. He discovered he was
overlooking a bet in Pete Yurwitz, for
one. YurWitZ, subbing for Wright at
end, did first-class job. Others of
the reserves believe they can pull a
Yurwitz and are bowling for an op-
portunity.

Colonias were absorbed in figuring
how much this or that play might
gain against the Owls. For the last
several days they have been working
on new stuff. Their spirit was re-

The Owls will present not only a
fast, big backfield, but line that
packs speed. weight and brains. The
forward wall is made up entirely of
seniors. In the highly important
tackle positions it alternates four
letter men besides several sophomores
who could be regulars on most good
teams. The Rice tackles have dealt
heavy punishment to every foe this
season. Capt. Sam Mays and Primo
Miller will start at tackle with John

this week end at Columbus and prob
ably hold it-Notre Dame played to

will pile on $4,000 more. This means
10000 for three games-a 10000
average-which is fair enough.
Kansas, Carnegie Tech and Wis
