NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Fron
the summit of optimism. the New
York University coaching staff ha'
taken a tumble in the past few
days. It has come a cropper
in a manner of speaking, ovel
Phil Swallows fractured collar
bone. They are at present pass
ing through depression which
will take two or three good weeks
of practice to diSSipate.
The reason is that SWiadon,
tough 215-pound fighter, almost
alone carried their hopes for
big season. Not that he could
do it alone, but Swiadon, till he
was injured last Saturday, was a
fast-developing sensation. He had
played so minutes of great foot.
ball against Fordham and coach
ing holdovers from the Meehan
regime said that Swiadon was deS-
tined to be greater this year than
Al Eastman and Len Grant.
SUCCESS IN DOUBT
DR.. Nal Stevens has voiced
his disappointment in straight.
forward language. If Swiadon
does not recover early enough in
October to be a factor, it may
break N. Y. US season.
without a double he would
have beef the most valuable
man in our team" Stevens said.
He will be almost impossible to
replace"
Technically, Swallows value is
easy to understand. The right
side of N. Y. US line is all veteran,
with Capt. Andy Barberi, 215
pounds, at guard; 210-pound
George BlomquiSt at tackle; and
Howard Quincy, the husky punt
ing end. The left side was mex
perienced, except for Swiadon.
But the inexperience did not mat
ter, because Swiadon was a whole
left side OF the line himself.
INEXPERIENCED
Now the other half of the for.
ward wall takes shape with Art
Schilling, sophomore giant, at
end, and Seymour Rosenblatt, a
stocky junior, at guard, sand
wiching Dan Zeller, big young
Ster of 210 pounds. Zeller is will
ing, but there is one important
basic difference between him and
Swiadon. He is 10 years old and
hasn't attained that full rugged
strength that at % had come to
Swiadon.
The line nevertheless will be
predominantly veteran, although
the fourth holdover among them
was not lineman last year. He
is Milton Miller, the new center.
Miller, feet II and 100 pounds,
played quarterback for 60 minutes
in the upset of Fordham, calling
signals cleverly, backing up the
line and Tipping the lateral pass
that brought about the upset.
From the center position he will
continue to call signals and to
back up the line, and the likeli-
hood is, too, that he will figure in
the lateral passing. That gives
Stevens an experienced defensive
backfield.
HIGH SCORER
The starting backfield foursome
probably will number George Saw
areSe, second highest scorer of the
past two years. or giant Ed Will
liams, at fullback; Harry Shorten,
at right half, with Joe Sivak as his
alternate; Bernard Bloom at left
half; and Rocco Pauline, at the
mons g n a lcalling quarterback
post. Pauline's business will be
to block hard and often and to
kick occasionally, when Quincy,
who bottled up Fordham, is not
doing it.

at Ohio Field.
