Special Dispatch to The Star.
A NNAPOLIS, Oct 26.-Bill Ingram,
the Navy's bsll-carrying. passing
and drop-kickine ace last year. who
was injured in the Virginia game and
whose total playing against Harvard
and Notre Dame was only a few min
utes. appears TO be back in physical
shape, and the work OF the present
week will determine whether he will
assume his old position in the games
against Pennsylvania, Columbia,
Princeton and Army, which follow.
Yesterday in the scrimnage which
Head Coach Hardwick ordered in de-
fiance of the custom which calls for
rest on the Monday after a big game
Ingram appeared to be back to his
last seasons form. Ingram carried the
ball in four Of five plays and rarely
failed to gain and passed with ac-
curacy. one of his tosses-to Frank
Case-resulting in q touchdown. II
he had any physical trouble it was
| not apparent.
The fact that Lem Cooke has been
doing well in Ingram's place does not
mean a rivalry between these players
but rather that the two will be used
alternately.
The same may be said of Frank
Case and Art Franks, both primarily
blocking backs.
AS expected. Al Wallace, the District
boy who started as regular center and
who was hurt in the Nays second
game. with Citadel. was back on the
field yesterday. He did only light
work, and it may be week before he
will get in the game in earnest. Also
he has fight on his hands to displace
Dick Fincher or Jim Andrews.

'NACURSK|SCOURGE

Chibear Star Big Threat
to Giants Sunday-Mat
Game Helps, He Says.
By the Associated Press

~HICAGo, Oct. 26.-The Bronko
4 is bucking again, which may
be bad news for the New York
~ Giants next Sunday.
After mediocre season in 1885
because of injuries. Bronko Nagurski
of the Chicago Bears again is in the
stride which has won him recognition
as the greatest line crusher in the
National Professional Football League.
On his broad shoulders, at the Polo
Grounds in New York Sunday. will
ride most of the Bears hopes of down
ing the Eastern division leaders and
of continuing undefeated toward the
Western section and league titles.
ONE of the greatest backfield stars
ever developed at Minnesota,
Nagurski is serving his eighth year in
professional football. In leading the
Bears to a 2s-to-20 win over Detroit
Sunday, game in which he pulver-
lied the vaunted Detroit line, Nagur-
ski indicated he is in for one of his
greatest years.
IF we can stop the Giant passing
game and can click as we did against
Detroit, I think we'll win" Nagurski
said today. From what hear, the
Giants have their greatest club of
many years. Ed Danowski. I think, is
as great a passer as Archie Herber
Green Bay Packer starr and they
have flock of fine receivers"
NAGURSKI, with the rest of the
Bears, had an off day yesterday
and it gave him time to plan the
wrestling campaign he will carry on
both during and after the football
season. He has matches arranged, he
said, for November 8 in New York
and November II in Los Angeles.
"I think wrestling has been largely
responsible for my good physical con-
dition this year" Nag" said. My
legs never felt better and 1 was in
shape for the Bears first game even
though l didn't report for practice
until fve days before the opener"

supported the move.
There's only two bitches to the

hasn't done in its last two games,
and (2), according to official foot

4 n WEIGH the Brown Derby"
symbol of the most fabricated
tale at the annual meeting of the
College Football Coaches Associa-
t1on-today was giving American
University more national publicity
than the school has received in all
its history.
It's Gus story, and he'll take
off the derby while telling it. that
an American University coed will
attempt to kick the conversions
after any or all Eagle touchdowns
in the home coming game against
Randolph-Mac here one week
from Saturday.
Holly denying that it is a joke
or even a publicity stunt, WEIGH
declared today that he long had
harbored the idea of a girl kicker.
"A girl naturally has more grace
and rhythm than man." WEIGH
said, "and inasmuch as the art of
place-kicking from the short dis
tance required after touchdowns is
not so much a question of power as
of grace and timing, there is no
reason why a girl should not do
it as we'll If not better than man."
A. us jesting indian coach re-
fused to divulge the identity of
the girl he has in mind for the role,
but rumors- are circulating about
the Massachusetts and Nebraska
avenues campus that he is giving
her secret practice daily.

been to keep the surprise move a
secret until just few days before

FAME, FORTUNES
BLASTED BY J|NX
Grid Game Is Pet Victim,
but Baseball, Racing Are
Great Sufferers.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

n YEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Injuries
constitute the main bugaboo
" in sports. A manager-a
trainer - coach - schemes
and plans and gets his charges in
shape and the future looms bright.
Then-bang! An injury. A game-a
pennant-a race-a fortune is lost.
The three outstanding pitchers in
the National League last year were
Dizzy Dean. Van Mungo and Carl
Hubbell. Dean could bring the Cardi-
rals back, Mungo could hold the
Dodgers up close to the first division
or maybe pitch them right into it.
Hubbell could win the pennant for
the Giants.
Well, Dean injured his pitching arm
and the Cardinals faded and folded.
Mungo pulled up with lame whip
and the Dodgers fioundered and fell.
Hubbell was the only one of the three
to get by unscathed-and the Giants
won the pennant
War Admiral won the Kentucky
Derby and had the 3-year-old field at
his mercy. A great horSe-a worthy
son of Man O. War-aiming at for
tune for his owner. Sam Riddle. But.
in winning the Belmont, War Admiral
was iniured-and he hasn't been to

And in Football.

NOW. with the football season under
way, injuries raise hob with the
hopes of the coaches and either wreck
teams or bring about sharp changes
in line-ups and plans to fend off disas-
ter. Even on a squad as big and as
capable as that of Minnesota, the loss
of Andy Uram put more gray hairs
into the scalp of Bernie Bierman.
Stevens, Georgia halfback. was hurt,
and Coach Harry Mehre had TO patch
his bsckfield by moving Hartman. his
fullback, over from right half-a
change that may work out all right
ultimately. although undoubtedly Geor-
gia has felt tie absence of Stevens.
At Harvard Russell, the center, was
injured snG Dick Harlow didn't know
what he was going to do about that
for a while. but finally decided to
plug the vacant spot with Wilson,
his running guard. At the University
of Washington an injury to Cruver,
the frst-string fullback, almost cer-
tainly hurt the team even more
than it hurt Cruver. McIlvary. lost
to Nebraska as result of brain
conclusion in the Minnesota game,
has been badly missed.
Nal Stevens. talking at the football
writer's luncheon recently, gave a
comic twist to the blow that fell upon
N. Y. U. when Bloom, Savarese and
Swiadon were hurt.
We've lost Di Maggie. Selkirk,

ouently We haven't had much hitting

Rebellion Called OFF.

THIS department may be wrong,
thereby preserving great streak,
but isn't it logical? Why can't Pitt
score twice by forward passes against
a dumb Marquette team instead of
striking twice with aerial bombshells
that hurled back a gallant. fighting
band of Golden Avalanches?" Why

secuted Alabama the week before?

BULLS COMPLIES
|. FINE GRID RECORD
Two Ties With Fast Teams,
Two Wins Registered by
Light Prep Team.
r yNDEFEATED-and unnoticed

r NDEFEATED- unnoticed
is the cry of the Bulls
School football team these
~ days after four games in
which it believes it has proved itself
entitled to more respect than is due
any private or public school eleven in
the city.
For, with team which averages
only l68 pounds in weight, the school
has a perfect record, showing two VIC
tories and two ties. Oddly enough,
the latter are causing the most pride
in Coach Pat Mahoney's swelling chest,
as they were two crack Virginia
schools. Staunton Military Academy
and Washington-Lee High.
New Men Are Regulars.
FURTHER adding to Mahoney's Joy
and his esteem as a coach is the
fact that three of his regulars are
playing football for the first time.
Hawkins, hslfback; Correll, an end,
and Russell, guard, never handled
a pigskin before enrolling at Bulls
this fall, but all are frst-stringers in
the lineup, which has yet to taste
defeat.
Mahoney's backfield averages less
than ITO, with Quarterback Lee, Half
backs Fones and Hawkins and Full
back Werner all below that weight.
His line averages 174 pounds. with
Moran at the other end, King and
Morris at tackles, Honan at the other
guard and Burdick at center. But
the team makes up in fight and speed
what it lacks in weight.
MahOney still has an ace in the
hole, for Johnny williamson, Techs
all-high halfback last year, recently
enrolled at Bulls and will get into
action as soon as he familiarizes him.
self with Bulls plays.
Big Game With Dewitt.
THE team started the season with
a $50 victory over Roosevelt and
then followed the 90 and TT ties
with Westinghouse and Staunton.
Last Friday Bulls scored, 1910, over
Vocational High of Baltimore.
Two more games definitely remain
to be played, with the possibility of
another being scheduled with the
Catholic University freshmen. The
Silver Spring lads travel this Satur-
day to meet the Massanutten Military
Academy eleven, and its traditional
big" game with Dewitt is slated for
November 19.

The likelihood of injuries in foot
ball is greater than in any sport I
can think OF offhand. In most sports,
such as hockey, where the toll of in
juries is heavy in actual competition,
there is comparative immunity from
them in practice. But not in foot
ball. A coach must scrimmage his
team at least once week-and every
scrimmage is a potential danger spot
from which key player on the
varsity may come groaning with an
injury that will keep him out of the
next game-or even for the balance of
the season.

prestol Casey Stengel was back in
the major leagues.
Listen, Case. want to come with us
next year?" beloved Quinn yesterday
as a roomful of newspapermen
listened in.
Certainly. I'd be delighted. Thank
you very much" came the reply-and
Stengel, who received $4,000 last year
for not managing the Brooklyn
Dodgers while Burleigh Grimes got
only $500 for plotting them, again
was a big league manager.
1t was the second time Quinn lined
up Casey as manager. The first was
in 1884 when Quinn was with the
Dodgers and was instrumental in OBJ
tanning Stengel to replace Max Carey.
Accepts without Knowing Terms.
ONE Of the astonishing things about
the talk was that Quinn never
mentioned money or whether the job
was for one year or five.
"Well have no trouble with Casey
about contracts" Quinn laughed.
He'll be up here after the first Of
next month to meet all of you, and
we'll straighten out several matters
then. including the coaches"
Quinn indicated Stengel would de-
eide the fate of Hank Gowdy and Bob
Smith. coaches under Manager Bill
McKechnie, who resigned shortly after
the world series to accept a better
paving Job with the Cincinnati Reds.
Casey apparently had no uualms
about being third choice for the Job,
Quinn said, for as far back rs world

down Steneel's verbal application, say
Ing he was trying for two other men. "
The two. DOME Bush of Minnesp-

whereupon Stengel became the top
choice.

IT WAS afraid for while that Casey
might have signed with any one

Stengel. no stranger to Boston, wound
