RY ROD THOMAS,

row night IN GrlIuLn STADIUM.
Rifle, who scales 100 pounds and
stands 6 feet l inch. showed up so
we'll in the Lions backfield during
preseason training that Coach Clar-
ence Mum built his offenSe around
him. He is a passer. kicker and open
field runner and according to ad-
vices from Reading likely will be-
come the greatest back to wear the
Red and White in a decade.
For the first time in many sea-
sons, Albright has gone in for foot
ball on a serious scale. 1t pitched
a training camp this Fall in the
Pennsylvania hills at Earville and
Lately its practices have been con-
Quoted in secrecy and at night to
accustom its players to the arcs.
Mum Is Bierman Disciple.
CLARENCE MUM, former all
America lineman, who assisted
Barney Bierman at Minnesota for
two years, is one of the few coaches
outside of Minnesota who teaches the
Bierman type of foot ball, and to-
morrow night washington will have
an opportunity to see the style that
helped to make the Gophers one Of
the great teams of the country last
season.
Because he is not satisfied with
his line. Mum has gone in strongly
for q passing game, and equipped
his team with a wide repertoire of
tricky plays.
Georgetown will be outweighed. &C
cording to the tentative line-ups, with
line averaging 179 pounds and a
backfield averaging 1913. The disparity
is not serious in the forward wall, but
Albright may find its helft quite use
full in the ball-carrying department.
Its backs average about 1856
Because of his small backfeld
Coach Hagerty is worried over the
Hoyas' pass defense.
Hot Game at Brookland.
A THOUGH outranked in impor-
lance by the George Washing
ton-Alabama game. that scrap be-
tween Catholic University and La
Sale Saturday at Brookland promises
to be every bit as torrid and as we'll
played. The optimists unfairly have
put the Redbirds on the spot by pro-
claiming the 1885 eleven the best ever
at Brookland and defeat in its OPEN
ing game would be bitter medicine.
We've seen some pretty hot teams at
Catholic University and won't con-
cede the current machine a thing
until after its battle with La Sale.
The Pennsylvanians held the Cards
to 6-6 tie last year and are reported
to be as strong, if not stronger, than
year ago. There is reason to belive
the Brooklanders have improved, but
it's plenty early to proclaim them
great team. Ever a frank critter,
Coach Bergman says he's confident
his outfit will do well, but he is not
among those who predict the Cards
will negotiate the season undefeated.
Our bunch is the C. U.-La Sale
game will be one of the most enter
tanning of the year.
About Those 'Bamans.
MUCH has been said and written
" here of Alabama, the Rose Bowl
team, but little mention has been
made of the individuals who make up
the Crimson Tide The Tuscaloosans,
now headed for the Capital, bear in
PRODUCTION at this time.
All types and sizes (Joe Riley at
157 is the smallest and Jim Whatley
at 215, the largest, the Southerners
afford their publicity man, Marshall
Num-, plenty of material.
Little Riley, better known among
'Bama students as Mickey" is the
successor to the great Dixie Howell |
and is rated as one of the fastest backs
IN the country. Twice last Spring he
ran the l00-yard dash in 98 seconds
and according to Coach Frank
Thomas, is slowed down very little
by foot ball equipment. Here again
Capital fans will see a jackrabbit
back of the type forever Fostering
the Colonials.
Riley does the chief running, pass
Ing and kicking for the Crimson Tide
and has plenty of endurance Smaller
than Howell, he is sturdier. Riley
threw one of the passes that beat
Stanford in the 1884 Rose Bowl game.
Jimmy Angelica, Riley's halfback
running mate, is as keen in the class
room as on the gridiron. He has
financed his education by working in
chemical factory during Summer.
Tarzan Lifts 5000 Pounds.
Young BOOzER, Angelich's I'M
derstudy, is president of the Cotil-
lion Club. Last year he was president
OF the sophomore class. Another back,
Rudy Rhordanz, paints houses in his
spare time, while his understudy full
back, Rubber Nisbet, spends his vaca-
lions steamboating and in bee culture.
Capt Jimmy Walker is just one
OF six Tidesmen who answer "H'yah,
sub" when Coach Thomas calls
Jim" The others are Whatley, reg
ular tackle; Radford and Rhyba, re-
serve tackles; Upton and Angelica.
Tarzan White, right guard, is
named aptly for he can lift 5000
pounds in harness and 500 without.
He can pick up any man .on the
'Bama squad and easily hoist him
over his head. Bill Peters, left
guard, hasn't any such strength, but
he has scored a touchdown in his
career and that's more than Tarzan
can say.
Bear Bryant, flankman, got his
nickname from wrestling bear when
Jas Is years old. After a minute
Wrestling, the bruins muzzle came
OF and the youngSter got the scare
of his life. Now he's 6 foot and
weighs 1876 pounds. He is said to be
o better end that Don Hutson of
fame
Galloped Wrong Way.
DEN BASWELL, reserve guard, once
