survey of the bailiwick, he delivered
some mildly interesting remarks about

pitching do you think Hubbell has

Nobody answered that one.

"A Mr.. Grimes. THAT fella is

Mungo is a great pitcher. He's got a
lot of fight in him. besides all that
strength and speed"
Somebody wanted to know If Mr..
Grimes, now that he is manager OF
the Dodgers, heaven help him, would
consider trading Mungo under any
circumstances.
"rll make any deal that1l help the
club" replied Burleigh, going into the
second chorus of familiar base ball
lyric. "Any deal thatU help the club,
I'll make. But why trade Mungo?

Their Moment May Come.

YOU hardly ever hear of line and
end coaches, but if Georgetown
finally ends Maryland's reign of su-
premacy in our local classic on Satur-
day the time probably will come for
Dubofsky and Murtaugh to take
bow.
With a curtSy to the prowess of the
George Washingtons, who will be dis
missed chiefly because they seem to
make balance their secret of success,
Georgetown versus Maryland in reality
Will be a test of Washington's best line
against the fleetest and most danger
Gus set of backs.
It seems to be an easy sort OF
game to analyze if you don't try to
predict the outcome.
If Maryland wins it will triumph
almost asSuredly because of any or all
of three items-Vic Willis ability to
tower over the squat Georgetown backs
and grab passes, the superior quick
kicking of Bill Guckeyson and, last
and probably the most important, the
inability of anybody on Georgetown to
catch Guckeyson or Jim Meade or
Coleman Headley once they get a
chance to dig.
And if Georgetown wins it probably
will be because Murtaughs crack ends
will be ready to drop Guckeyson every
time he catches a punt and because
Dubofsky's rock-ribbed line will out
play and, mayhap, rip Maryland's line
to shreds. A big edge of Georgetown's
will be reserves.

ARMY, NAVY HEADS
T0|[|NG OVERTIME
Give Just a Little More to
Strategy Than Do
Other Teams.
srecial Dispatch to The Star.

CEcCldl DlsPdlSu " Seot'
NNAPOLIS, November l7.-1t
n is no secret that boards OF
~ foot ball strategy, headed by
4 n Tom Hamilton and Gar Da-
wilson, are sitting daily at Annapolis
and West Point and will continue to
do SO until just before the service
school game which is to be played
in Philadelphia's municipal stadium.
The subject which is under daily
consideration is: How can we stop
the other sides plays and how can
we put over plays that they can't
stop?" That, of course, is what all
foot ball coaches do as they near
big game, but somehow. those Army
and Navy people put just little
more into their plans than any others.
Must Watch All Cadets.
OF ONE thing one can be certain
" and that is that big signs bear
ing the slogan, Stop Meyer" will
not be plastered all over Bancroft
Hall. where the Middies live, as they
we're last year. The team went on
the field to stop Meyer and Grove
scored two touchdowns before the
Navy could catch its breath.
If those kind of signs go up this
year the players will be warned
equally against Ryan and Kasper and
Craig and other Army backs, or it
may be summed up in Watch Them
ALL" The latter is certainly what
the Navy players have got to do to
be safe
The Army is in exactly the same
situation. Last year the Navy's at
tack was built almost entirely around
Schmidt, who carried the ball in four
or five plays. He was extremely ef-
fective in the second half, but the
Army had, by its sudden onslaught,
piled up plenty of margin.
Ingram Now Leading Lugger
SCHMIDT still is in the Navy ranks,
- but young Bill Ingram has loomed
up as the chief ball carrier. Still,
the Army can't concentrate on In
gram, for there is Schmidt and there
also are Antrim, Reimann, Thomas
and lot of other fine backs. Army
players will have to have a lot of
what they call split-vision to watch
all the Navy backs.
At both schools the coaches will
have a lot more upon which to base
and diversity their attack than they
had last year. Also, it is no secret
that there will be plenty ready which
the teams have not so much as sug-
gested during the earlier part of the
season. At each place they are trying
to guess what the other is doing and
to outSmart them.

Stars From Start.

THEY went through four-game
schedule as freshmen without
setback. AS sophomores on the c. U.
varsity team of 1884 they saw service
in 4 wins, losses and tie. Last
season as juniors on perhaps Cath
olic US greatest eleven they took part
in victories in 9 games, including
the post-Season tilt with the Uni
versity of Mississippi at Miami, Fla,
last New Year day.
The current c. U. team, including
this group, has won games and
lost g.
OF this group, Joe Yanchulis last
year was honored as the most valuable
player. Whether he will be so honored
again is problematical, as Schmarr
and Adamaitis both have been playing
smartly. 1t was Schmarr's great play
in the De Paul encounter and Adam
aitis' fine performance in several bat
ties that leave the award in doubt.
Others Merit Praise.
A MOTHER player not to be over
looked is Anthonavage, who has
placed on every all-District team since
his sophomore year. And there is Bob
Makofske, whose winning try
for point last Saturday against North
Carolina State makes him a heavy
favorite, to be considered
If custom in the final game of the
season is followed, Coach Dutch Berg
man will start an entire senior outfit
against Western Maryland. Should
this happen, four juniors will be rid
ing the bench at the kickoff. They
are Leo Katalinas, tackle; Vic Sochon,
guard; Specs Foley, quarterback. and
either Irish Carroll or Bud Munhall,
backs.
Western Maryland has only three
seniors, two of them starters. They are
Louis Lassahn, end, and Cliff Lathrop,
halfback. Bob Elderdice, senior, is

Hold Inside Track.
WASHINGTON has the inside track
to the Rose Bowl with no de-
feat on its Pacific Coast Conference
record. But a loss to Washington
State would give the Cougars a tie
for first place and the conference
officials would have to settle the issue
by ballot.
The grape vine" channel reported,
however, that Alabama has been the
chief topic of discussion since Wash
ington moved into the front ranks.
Washington has a score to settle
with the "Bama" boys, and has been
waiting II years for another crack at
the Crimson tide. The last time the
Huskies played in the Rose Bowl was
in 1926 when Alabama defeated them
20 to 10.
If not Alabama, then Fordham or
Pittsburgh seemed the likely Eastern
choice. Everything depends on the
outcome of pending games. If the
three first choices get bumped of
then Louisiana State and Marquette
would come in for consideration.

Terps Are Quick Thrusters.

SINCE the Georgetown Maryland
~ rivaly was resumed two years ago
the Terrapins ever have been quick
thrusting foemen and this season
promises to be no exception. In 1884
Norwood Sotheron grabbed floating
punt and ran down the field 72 yards
to reach Georgetown's 3-yard line.
Cracking the line, Maryland showed
across the only touchdown.
Last Season Guckeyson raced to a
touchdown on 50-yard jaunt and,
after Georgetown had tied it up, he
took a kickoff to start the second
half and busted 80 yards for the
winning score.
The set-up this year promises to be
the same old story of rapier versus
. cudgel. If anything, and in spite
Of disappointing performance last
week, Guckeyson is better than he was
in 1885. He is smarter and he has
perfected his change of pace while
running. In Jim Meade he has a fit
running mate. for Meade can run as
fast as Gyke and punt almost as we'll.
He hasn't Guckeyson's deception in
carrying the ball, but if he finds a
hole they will have to catch him.
Headley is another sprinter in grid
togs.
Gormley probably is the best block
ing back in this sector, and unless it
were the loss of Guckeyson no greater
individual calamity could befall the
Marylands than to have him out. If
his shoulder doesn't respond Dobson
will have to use his other blocking
back, Ed DAILY, and he isn't geared to
