NEW YORK. Nov. Is G.NSO
Henry Armstrong will make his
first appearance as a defending

against Ceferino Garcia.
Frontier Mike Jacobs said today
the advance sales indicates a ca

371a per cent and Garcia 20 per

than a challenger usually gets.

bookies shaved their odds a trifle

are few notes on the Cadets sup

has seen the Army in action sew

Charles J. (Huey) Long, first
claSsman (senior) and NO. back

tenn with the funny little shift Of
one man, was the outstanding ball
handler in the 19-7 victory. A
southpaw passer, clever kicker and
astute handler of plays, he is also
a sur -fire safety who didn't
bother to fall on the loose ball, but
snatched the slippery oval and
legged toward Princeton's goal. He
set up one touchdown with a 20
yard pass to Sullivan, the other
with a Shifty punt return Of like
distance.
WILSON A TRIPLE THREAT
Long is the sort of back who.
lacking a foot or two for first
down, coolly calls a touchdown
shot off tackle. He will turn quiz
zically to scrutinize the time clock
or scoreboard, and bang! The
play shears through your guard
as he stands idly taking.

Representations along this line
are based upon West Points per.
formances in two games, Notre
Dame and Princeton. Against
Notre Dame, Army caught the
opening kickoff on its own goal
line, returned it to the 35-yard
line or thereabout, and then set
out for Notre Danes goal line.
The IS yards were spanned in
fewer than dozen plays, and the
scoring play was a forward pass
adroitly executed after a cunning
set up.
Army marched over a Sodden,
sloppy gridiron at Princeton, tear
ing the Tiger line to pieces, and
after being repulsed at the end of
almost IS yards. reformed and
quickly scored. Notre Dame held
Army to one touchdown. In every
other game the Cadets scored at
least three touchdoWnS. Navy has
scored only "a points in its last
five games and twice was shut out.

the only choice thus shifted.
Mentioned, too, and promi.
nently, was Sid Luckman, the ace
paSSer of Columbia, who barely
was 1oSed out of halfback berth
after which might have been a
sensational season if he had been
on stronger team.
This year the East is finding it
difficult to break into the spot
light, with such teams as Notre
Dame, Duke, Tennessee, Texas
Christian, Oklahoma, and the
Coast and Big Ten leaders out in
front with grand array of talent.
WYSOCKI CROWDED OUT
Yale, Harvard and Princeton,
for instance, didn't have a chance.
Even some of last years stars, who
still are in business, were crowded
out, notable example being
Wysocki, the Villanova end. He
had trouble even making his own
team, and with that deprived him
self of all chance of repeating in
the All-America selections.
And while there is always room
for plenty of argument as to

are best, the two selected would
be good enough to bring happiness

could but bring them together.

NAvY's DEFENSE RUGGED

If figures give Army an advar,
tage on the attack, those same
figures give Navy a decided edge
defensively. Princeton and Notre
Dame scored two touchdownS on
the Midshipmen this year. Yale
and Columbia tailed one each.
Princeton pulled miracle out of
the hat on a beautiful forward
lateral that shot runner into the
clear for the final Tiger score of
the day. Notre Dame marched for
one touchdown against the Mid
dies, and capitalized a sour break
for another touchdown. The Navy
line is about as good as you are
going to meet. 1t has proved 1t
throughout the season, and may
prove it again tomorrow, to the
CONSERVATION of all Army partl-
sans.
Both teams are in excellent con-
dition. Navy, to be sure is handl,
capped by the loss of Clifford
LEM, who failed to recover from
a leg injury. But Army came out
of the Princeton game in fine
condition, and Navy is all right
after the Columbia joust.
LONG is A "SLICKER"
One thing that the game with
Princeton did for Army was prove
the value Of the West Point re-
serves. After the experience with
Notre Dame in which the Irish
legionS moved down the Cadets,
Bill Wood was worried. He knew
that his first team could cope
with the best Princeton had to
offer. But whether or not the
second and third string replace
ments could rally after the lacing
they took from the South Benz
boys was a real problem. Well
the Cadets came back all right
as service men always come back.

Manager Harris gambled yesterday.
When he lifted Chase in the WASH

had to send relief pitcher to the
box for the Cleveland eleventh.
Warming up in the bull-pen were
the veteran, dependable Monte Weaver
and the harum-scarum Krakauskas, a
failure, with the Mats and a flop with
Trenton. Bucky waved Krakky to the
box.
Earl Averill, first to face Krakky,
doubled to, center. It looked as If

Krakky vindicated Bucky. He whitfield
Hal Trosky and retired Ken Keltner

keeping the score tied at A.
Thus it was that Washington went
into its half of the eleventh and made
off with the game. After Lewis went
out Simmons singled and took second
when Relief Pitcher Willis Hudlin
made wild pitch to Stone. Ordered
to purposely pass Stone and pitch to
Bonura, in hopes of getting a double
play, Willis tossed over pitch that
Zeke liked He whammed into right
field for a double, ending it all.
Up to the final inning the game
had been a story of Case and Chase.
1t was a double by Case that drove
across Washington's first run and it
was Georges steal of third and sprint
home than scored the second tally.
Later he tripled across another run
and romped home on single. George
was pretty much of a nuisance to
Whitehill in those first seven innings.
/As for Chase, HE can pitch for me
any time" were the words of Harris.
And as for Krakauskas, who said he
belonged in the majors, not with
Trenton, 1t looks as If he had some
thing there.
