and said, Gentlemen, in my

land the other day Mr. Marshall was
airing a few suggestions which are
interesting. Mr.. Marshall, will you
tell us about them?"
George jumped up and began:
Football is big industry and
big sport. In the fall and
winter it corresponds to big
league baseball in the summer.
But" he added. Il note that major
league baseball doesn't gamble with
its umpires. 1t has trained men who
make careers of calling balls and
StrikeS a1,d r,Io,,c OF tho hoeae rtoe,

ball is reasonably free of officiating
problems.
Football officials. however, are not
men who make refereeing and UNI
piring profession. For the most
part they are doctors or dentists or
lawyers. In other words, they are
football officials on the side.
This isn't right Learning how to
properly oficiate in a football game
is as much of career as coaching.
I don't see why football cannot work
out some arrangement whereby its
officials are as we'll trained and spe-
cialists in the same sense as baseball
umpires."
Movie villainy Is Real.

Seek Fifth Win of Year.

CATHOLIC has been showed in the
background this year After scor-
Ing three minor victories to open the
campaign, the Cardinals moved into
fast company and were stopped by
Detroit's Titans. This was no dis
grace, but at the time George Wash
ington was unbeaten, Maryland was
impressing with its potentialities, and
Georgetown always was sure of wind
ing up its season in the spotlight
because Of the all-local game with
the Old Liners.
The Detroit defeat not only marred
BergmanS clean slate but marked the
first wholesale lot of injuries. Crippled
and battered, the Cards were whipped
by st. Louis University but Bergman
pulled them up short and, in convinc-
ing fashion, c. U. whipped West
Virginia Wesleyan by tidy score
This was an instance OF what could
happen when Bergman rounded up
his forces in fair shape, but the Cards
limped out of that game and fell easy
prey to Miami the next week.
Now, with nearly two weeks of rest.
Bergman is going after his fifth victory
IN eight games. If he grabs it against
the Gamecocks it will be a fine COM
mentary on the old Notre Damer's
ability to win with a comparative
handful Of men.

Dan McGugin's Influence.

nNE of the most important turns in
the development of football in the
South was the engagement by VAN
derbilt of the late Dan McGugin as
coach in 1904. Dan had played foot
ball under Fielding Yost at Michigan
and he brought South with him all
the progressive ideas he had learned
from Yost, at that time undoubtedly
the leading coach in the country, with
his point-a-minute teams at Michi-
gan.
Dan was one of the finest men ever
to be associated with football-you
can find hundreds of men down
around here today to testify that he
was the finest, bar none-and he had
tremendous influence on every man
who ever played football under him
or was associated with him in any
capacity. He had the respect and
confidence Of his players; he knew
football-and he knew how to teach
it. The result was that Vanderbilt
entered upon its brightest era in foot
ball-an era in which it completely
dominated the South
