game with Elon College
Friday night now looms as real test
bugaboo that failed to visit the Buff
during its training campaign suddenly
has struck forceful blow to Pixlee's
squad, considerably weakening its re-
serve and acting as an equalizing
factor in the relative strength of the
two teams.
Five valuable players, four OF them
monogram men, are out OF action and
probably won't return by Friday night.
Injuries have sidetracked Capt. Frank
Kavalier, center or halfback: Bruce
Mahan, halfback; Leon Morris, end,
and Jay Turner, big sophomore full
back. The fifth, Pete Yurwitz, an end,
has gone to New York because Of the
death Of his father.
THUS considerable changing around
of players will be necessary to boil
ster weakened positions. At best, not
much can be done about the situation
at ends and halfbacks except to insert
inexperienced players. Ray Hanken
will be the only experienced end avail
able against the invading Christians,
and Herb Reeves, another veteran,
must take over the fullback duties OF
Turner. Reeves has had some expert
ence at fullback in the past.
In Reeves left-halfback post Pixlee
is trying joey kaufman, q triple
threaten, and Kingston Burnham, who
impressed with his pass singing
against Emory and Henry. Vic Samp-
son. slight speedster who got of sew
eral nice kicks and ran well in the

serve center, will again substitute for
Capt. Kavalier.
Bob Faris, Fremont, Nebr., sopho-
more who scored with fine catch Of
Burnham's marathon pass against the
Wasps, is getting a lot Of attention.
When he picks up the fine points Of
blocking and improves his defensive
work he should become a valuable
wingman. The only other end on hand
now is Lloyd Berry, husky Owens. Va,
soph, who received his baptism under
fire last Friday.
Elon will bring to Washington 13

Catching channel bass at Fox Hill
Levels, Wachapreague and Cape
Charles was long considered to be the
heaviest angling available in trip
of few days, but we now have two
years of marlin fishing of Ocean City
tucked under our belt and are headed
for even bigger things.
To date white marlin are the only
members of that sporty family which

Is considered a bother and the bait
is pulled away when one chases it.
That stage hasn't been reached here
yet. Blues and whites live in the
same waters farther south and have
much the same habits, and there is
no reason why big blue one should
not be found around here. 1t Is only
necessary to locate the grounds.
Tuna fishing off the coast Of
New Jersey is another branch of
angling which has been coming
into the limelight within the
past few years.
Commercial tuna fishing has long
been a leading business along the
coast, but recently boatmen have
found that they could make more
money with less work and have it
come in steadily by making a few
changes In their boats, cleaning them
q bit and hiring out to sportsmen.
Several have done this, especially in
the neighborhood of Sea Bright, where
the best grounds are found but mile
and a half offshore.

port for these grounds, although it Is
20 miles up the coast. Boats cost $45

N YEW YORK, September 90
M So you stumbled into picking
" one right, for a change, and
4 now you're all in dither with
the world series on hand? Last April
it was easy to pick the pennant win
ner One of the Washington morn
ing rags and one of the afternoon
sheets each picked the Tigers to win
in the American League. Another
morning paper picked the Red Sox and
another evening pub chose the In
dians. So you picked the Yanks,
just to be different, and, 10 and be-
hold, they won by the somewhat de-
cisive margin Of 1912 games, which
"only" set a new record. You even
picked Washington, on April IA, to
finish fourth.
So now you hem and haw on
the series. Nobody gives hoot,
anyway. Last April the Yanks
after you picked them to win
they still were 8 to L. Still the
series. ...
Why not hem and haw? The Yanks
have the power, all right, but how
important is extra punch in short
series2 Gehrig, remember, has been
in batting slump. Bill Dickey will
play with q dislocated thumb. Sup
pose Di Maggie f1ops like he did in the
all-star game? That would be blow
to the Yanks. Whew, what a wash
out he was that day! Maybe it's too
much for rookie.
S'pose They Have Throat Trouble?"
ZONE to think of it, there are some
other guys on the YankS who
might choke up. 1t will be some
thing new for Jake Powell, among
others. He'd give you enough fits in
just an ordinary game. And then
Monte Pearson and Bump Hadley
might walk everybody in the ball park.
And how about Selkirk? Joe
Mccarthy says he's going to
start against Hubben. Shucks,
he hasn't hit the American
Leagues southpaws this year,
much less a guy like Hub.
Still, they say Carl'll bother the
right more than the left
handed batters. Gehrig'll hit with
the chips on the table. Dickey can
hit for your money. too. and Gomez
might all of a sudden snap out of it,
bring that fast ball down from be-
hind his ear and get it over the plate.
If he does the Yanks won't have to
spot Hubbell anything.
Wonder what happened to
Gomez this year? Newspaper
men up here say he got fat
around his shoulders, but look
ing at him you wonder what
they mean by fat and what con-
stitutes a skinny man in New
York.
Goofy will have to show something
in this series, too, to avoid taking a
h-ll of a pay cut next year. Not
even a guy with Jake Ruppert's dough
pays 10000 simoleons per annum for
13 victories.
What II Hub Gets Licked?
TT CERTAINLY would be high-pow-
powered prognostication (ahem)
to pick the Yanks to win the pennant

HubbeN of Giants, Gehrig Of Yanks
Logical Choices for Series Stardom.

He isn't inclined to start fading under
carried heavier burden than the
left-hander from Oklahoma will take
into action. He has been picked as
the main Giant hope, knowing that,
If he can't spike the Yankee guns,
there will be little chance left.
The Yankees can lose the opener
and still have about the same cast
left on through to the finish. They
have enough good pitching to stand up
The Giant Side.
nON'T forget" writes Giant fan
that any ball club able to come
from beind, as Terry's team did this
Summer, is a team of destiny. I re-
call % years ago, back in 1914. when
you and almost every other sporting
writer picked the Athletics to tear
Boston's Braves apart. All of you
overlooked this fact-the Braves
came from nowhere to win pennant
and this impetus swept them through
in four games.
THE same impetus that lifted
the Giants from q struggling
second division team around
midsummer into an unex-
pected pennant will do the same
trick in this series.
"They have been on their way in a
hurry for 10 weeks. They are not
going to be stopped now. The YAM
KEGS haven't had a contest that meant
anything in weeks. They'll find Giant
pitching far different from the much
softer type their bats have been hahn
mering all this season."
1t may be that way. too-but also
Giant pitching may find Yankee bats
a trifie different from most of the ASH
they have looked at since April.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, September
29.-There were two highly
noticeable factors in the Southern
foot ball games Of Saturday in
which a majority of the teams
opened their 1886 season.
In very few of the games were
the favored teams able to score in
the early periods. In fact, many
were saved only by rallies during
the second half, being unable to
get their attacks to clicking until
then. Secondly. the forward pass
was the most popular scoring
weapon, for seldom before have
forward passes decided as many
games as they did Saturday in the
South.

Honest With Players.

THERE won't be any true set-ups for
- the Cardinals after the Shenandoah
game. And there won't be any bo-
logna handed the boys concerning the
strength of the C. U. opponents. Berg
man has instructed his scouts and
coaching aides to LAY the stuff on the
table-give 'em a true picture Of what
they have to contend with"
When Fall training started Specs
Foley seemed to be the regular quar-
terback. But Specs today finds himself
battling with Howard Walker, Don
Kincaid and Max Brinkman, the last
named a former Tech High player, to
hold his place. Aside from generalship
Foley is valued for his punting; Walker
is a kicker and also is proficient in
toting back punts; Kincaid, sopho-
more, is adept in returning kicks, and
Brinkman, besides punting effectively
is an excellent blocker. No matter
which of the four is in the game, 1t
appears, C. U. will be well generated,
but the distinction Of being a starter
Is a reward calculated to keep the boys
striving nightly.

Attack and Defense.

THIS next series will be the old
story of attack and defense.
The Giants, with Hubbell around,
plus the aid that Fitzsimmons and
Schumacher should offer, will have
the edge in defensive strength.
The Yankees have a big jump in
offensive power. Their bats are
louder and their hits are longer.
If it wasn't for the fact that one
star pitcher, at his peak. can domi-
nate the weeks show, the Yankees
would be 2-to-1 favorites.
But no one can afford to
crawl too far out on a limb
with Hubbells left arm still
intact. He can throw too many
grenades in the vicinity of the
right spot.
Long Carl IS not only a brilliant
pitcher, bat also q money workman.

~ NE of the most interesting
points Of base ball lottery
\ is attempting to name the
~ world series star in advance.
In the past, he had been anything
or everything from Mathewson and
johnson to an almost unknown
rookie, depending largely on the way
fate felt about it.
The most logical picking nomi-
mates Carl Hubbell. On the Yankee
side, the best nomination is Lou
Gehrig, who has helped to blast away
more than one world series game.
This will be LOUIS first world series
without Babe Ruth at his side, but
he should have all the help needed
from Dickey. Di Maggie, Lazzeri, Rolfe
and Selkirk. The Giants leading pos
sibilities in this worthy respect are
Mel OFT and Bill Terry himself.
What About Di Maggie?
THIS has been quite a season for
young Joe Di Maggie. In his
first big league year, he finds himself
with a carload of home runs, more
than 200 base hits and a world series
party all in one bundle.
1t might be recalled that such past
stars as Larry Lajoie. Bill Bradley
and others never played a world series
game.
In the all-star turn at Bos-
ton. young Di Maggie had a
spotty afternoon. but that has
no connection with any world
series debut.
There has been gossip back and
forth that the California kid won't
be so hot in his first series, with the
Boston episode still hanging in his
memory. Di Maggie isn't that type.
He is not only fine ball player, but
he has all the confidence in himself
any star needs to keep moving up

He will be one Of the hardest

- ONTRARY to report. the Cath
olic University foot ball team,
Orange Bowl champion, is
~ not "all LET" for campaign
In which it hopes to win every game.
With lineup complete with seniors
and juniors, Dutch Bergman curtailed
Fall practice by a week and gave rise
to the impression that the eleven regu-
lar places on his team were settled.
Today he said: II don't know who
will be our regular backfield. Both
tackles are open and so is right end"
Next Saturday c. U. will open against
land Stadium.
Shenandoah will be taken in stride,
with little chance of an upset. What
ennoys Bergman is that his squad may
feel the same about all the games
on the schedule.
They Wouldn't Believe II.
TWO years ago he warned his men
= that La Sale was tough. They
listened with blank faces. La Sale
got a 6-6 tie with the Cardinals,
which, comparing records, was unwar-
ranted.
Today the Cardinals likely would
have been famous as one of the few
undefeated teams of 1885 had they
hardened enough to Bergman before
the De Paul contest. No matter what
the class of an undefeated team, a
clean slate brings special recognition.
Some of the calloused veterans fig
ured the De Paul game as good as In
the sack and attempted to match me-
chanical stuff against inspired play.
The result was 9-6 defeat, which
spoiled an otherwise perfect record for
the Cardinals.
This time the Redbirds have the
stuff apparently to achieve the unique
in c. U. foot ball history-a clean
slate Whether they bring it of may
depend greatly upon how much the
Brookland gladiators are willing to
put out-in the way of upping COM
petitive spirit for ightly-regarded op-
ponents.
