.COLONIALS and
HOYAS ENTRAIN
FOR SESSIONS
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
When footballs honors smote
their Tyres in the brave old days.
and ushered a new football season
into the calendar Of sports, all
calculations upon the exact date
Of the opening Of the program
was based upon the Big Three, or
to be more correct, the Big Four.
When Yale, Harvard, Princeton
and Pennsylvania started, you
could safely say that football had
arrived.
But time and a broadening Of
curriculum, scholastic and ath.
letic, combined to bring other
teams into the field. The East's
domination Of the gridiron has
long since been shattered by the
charge of Notre Dame and Cen
tenary; by Santa Clara Nebraska.
Even in the matter Of starting
preparation for the year, the Big
Three lags. Bound by covenant,
Yale, Harvard and Princeton will
not begin football training until
mid-September. Yale starts work
on September IS.
Marching in step with the rest
Of the field, restrained by no en-
tangling agreements, the football
host of District Of Columbia and
its environs, are preparing for
strenuous days ahead. George
Washington University will dis
tribute equipment and hold light
practice at Camp Let's today.
Georgetowns' warriors board the
steamer for Old Point Comfort to-
night and start work tomorrow.
CARDS IN STRIDE
Arthur Dutch" Bergman al
ready has the Flying" Cardinals
of Catholic University in stride,
and according to early estimates,
should have a team that knows
its way around.
Frank Dobson, always the
smooth and Suave worker Of the
football field, is shaping his Mary
land team for the opening game
of the year. Dobson has less
material than the average coach
but goes along in even stride and
turns out well coached, smooth
operating outfits just the same.
Maryland opens its season with
st. Johns Of Annapolis on
September rs, stepping along the
front rank. George washington
faces Wake Forest on october /,
in a night game. If this develops
into half the battle that last
years game between these two
schools did, the crowd will have
their thrills.
PRACTICE DAILY
On all sides there will be two
practice sessions daily until the
squad is set and ready to play
football.
George Washington will have AZ
men on the field in its drills under
the general supervision of Jim Pix
lee, and q of these are letter men.
Among them is Haringer, at
center, one of the most depend
able men at his post in this sector
Of the country. Haringer was
somewhat overShadowed by Yam
chulis and Hardy, a fact which
detracts nothing from the boys
exceptional ability.

GIANT PENNANT
DRIVE IN AUGUST
STYM|ES C U B S
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEnL

by FHANh BUN " NGAAA
The New York Giants lead the
National League field to the turn
for home in one of the most grip
ping battles in major league his
tory. They are two games in front
of the Chicago Cubs. An heroic
effort is mirrored in the cold fig
ures of the standings of the clubs.
Just one month ago baseball
critics and baseball men in general
were willing to concede the Ma
tional League pennant to the Chi
cago Cubs. At shutdown on August
6 the Bruins led the league by five
and one-half games with the Giants
in second place. But in the month
intervening between then and to-
day, the Giants have stormed back,
gaining eight full games on the
Bruins. More important than a
mere eight games, the chief ad-
vantage Of the Giants lies in the
fact that they have lost four fewer
games than the Bruins.
On August 6 the standings of the
clubs read:
Chicago ..... 81 "a .646
New York 80. ST 40 .588
The standings of the National
League clubs today reads:
New York E. IA At .612
Chicago 900. 70 81 $50
Since August 6 the Giants have
played "a games, winning II and
losing 7 for a percentage Of .708.
IN SAME PERIOD
The Cubs in the same period
played % games, winning II and
losing II, for a percentage Of
1893.
In one months the Giants out
played the Bruins by a margin
of AIS.
There is little need of invoking
figures to highlight the adventures
of the Yankees in corresponding
period. They were II games ahead
of the Boston Red Sox, who had
driven to second place on the
night of August 6. The Yankees
are II games ahead Of the Detroit
Tigers, who fought their way from
fourth place as of month ago
to the runner-up position this
morning.
The battle in the American
League has been confined to the
lower brackets, and a right inter-
esting fight it has been, with Bos-
ton, Chicago and Detroit having
a place in the sun at different
times.
PIRATES LED FIELD
The fight Of the Giants this
year is reminiscent Of other fights
by the same club in other years.
In 1921, if you care to go back
that far, Pittsburgh led the field
by seven games in September, but
the Giants beat the Pirates six
games out of seven, and eventually
won the pennant and world series.
Last year the Giants had to
drive, but drive they did. They
had no cake walk in 1888, but they
won the pennant all right and de-
feated Washington in the big tilt.
It is traditional too, that driv-
ing team is toughest in the big
series, but the Yanks took care of
the Giants last season, and while
Joe Mccarthy mumbles in his
sleep, Anything can happen in
baseball it will be interesting to
see how the Giants fare when they
encounter Gehrig, DiMaggio,
Dickey and the others with the
checks down and the field cleared.
