STEVENS SEES VIOIETS in STRIDE FOR GAME WITH HOYAS
N.Y.U.Mentor
Gives Team
Chance
BY HARRY COSTELLO

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. - Coach
Nal Stevens, of New York Univer.
sity, feels that his New York Uni
versity Violets hit their stride in
the final quarter of the North
Carolina game last Saturday.
In that canto, with the score
IA to O against them, the Shrink
ing Violets rang up 10 points
against the fast-traveling Tarheels.
After that exhibition, Coach
Stevens, not at all an optimist,
feels that his team will defeat
Georgetown.
Yesterday. Coach Stevens told
your observer:
'FOr those Is frantic final
minutes, against North Carolina,
N. Y. u. had the cohesion for
which 1 have been looking all
season. If my team remains the
unified eleven which played
North COralina to a standstill in
those final fifteen minutes Sat
urday, we will win over George
town."
Quite naturally when Nal
Stevens spoke those words, he
knew that the Hoyas had defeated
Bucknell 10 to 0. His scouts had
told him all about Georgetown.
He knew all about Tommy Keat.
ing and Co., all about their versa
tility their speed, their drive and
their precision. And I say, Nal
Stevens is not an optimist.
Quincy Star End
Saturdays game against Caro-
lima brought home to Coach
Stevens. he says, that he must
start Howard Quincy, Junior, at
end. Quincy, in the Carolina
game, proved that he is N. Y. US
greatest pass receiver. Fasr of
foot, Quincy handled the passes OF
Stelmach and Bloom in a manner
reminiscent of N. Y. us greatest
receivers of the days of Chick"
Meehan, when Violets were bat
ting to be known as champions OF
theh United States.
Eddie Williams, husky back,
proved his worth against Carolina.
This fellow may prove to be
Georgetown's Nemesis. He has a
fine turn of speed, can take it
(Which he probably will have to
do), and otherwise stacks up as
A-No. !. This is the man G.. U.
will have to watch on attack when
the VioletS decide to stick to a
running game.
discovered yesterday that
Bernard Bloom, cocky, confident
and superb under fire, is not only
a splendid forward passer, but
a ball-carrier who will bear watch
ing against any mans team, with
able Mike Stelmach to mate up
with him, Bloom looks the first
half of a great backfield combina-
ton.
Against Cardinals shift N. Y. US
line in Saturdays game, especially
the early portion, committed the
blunder of overshifting. 1t was
fatal for the VioletS.
Against Georgetown, N. Y. U.
will not overshift, as Cardinals
offense is almost identical with
Georgetown's and one mistake is
easily overcomable in a grid team,
especially in five good practice
days.
In the N. Y. U. line, incidentally,
Oscar Scarola, center, will cause
Georgetown many unforgetable
moments. This boy is star. On
defense, he will cause the Hoya's
plenty of trouble.
Swiadon, tackle and Moscowitz,
guard, and one or two others OF
N. Y. us team impressed me as
knowing their onions. The first
two named are Stars-every whit
as good as players on the top teams
of America.
Watching N. Y. U. in practice, I
had the distinct impression that
Georgetown will have difficulty
winning. Indeed, as I saw the sit
uation, thanks to the courtesy of
the N. Y. U. coaching staff, G.. U.
is up against it, and very much so.
Georgetown will have to be at
its best; will have to play G. U. S
very best football, if the Hoyas
are to be returned winners this
Saturday coming up.
