Work With Hard Slate

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 12-
Coach Elmer Layden of Notre Dame,
gambling the Irish" chances for an
unbeater season on a group of in
experienced substitutes, will give the
Notre Dame reserves deck" another
shuttle Saturday.
Poker-faced Elmer isn't kidding
himself about what lies ahead. He
knows his club will have its hands
full Saturday afternoon against the
Mustangs of Southern Methodist
University. But while he isn't wor-
rying out loud about the remainder
of suicide" schedule. he knows
that one thing alone will keep his
''IIrIish' machine in high''-devel-
opment of a tested, capable, second
string eleven.
Against Purdue the reserves
looked weak" he said today. They
didn't go so bad against Georgia
Tech. But we have to give them
more work We are a little leary of
their ability no question of that,
and we don't want to take too much
chance on losing games. But We are
on spot-unless we develop re-
placements we'll be in a tight sit
uation the rest of the season"
Notre Dame just nosed out Purdue
and Georgia Tech, winning both
games on field goals. Some OBJ
servers feel Layden's club is totter-
ing on the edge of diving into the
tied or defeated division. But Notre
Dame gridiron history is crammed
with surprises. Reserves or no re-
serves. the Irish" will give S. M. U.

Football Today Much Tougher

I'll take the old days in football

lines for the Cardinals. Don't get
me wrong, think football has i'm

To-day these kids have at least

Grid Prophets Baff|et
By Vio|et-Tarhee|,
.Pitt-Duke TiIts
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 12.-Foot-
ball forecasters were baff1ed today
as they studied the tossup battles
on this week end S Southern Con-
ference card.
The toughest scrap to call, per-
haps, is the Duke Pittsburgh game
in which the Panthers will be at
tempting to avenge the TO defeat
last year which won the Blue Devils
the Rose Bowl nomination.
Pitt has beaten Washington and
West Virginia and Duke has con-
quered Davidson and Colgate by de-
cisive margins. Both already have
been ranked among the Nations s
most promising 1889 teams.
Another puzzler is the New York
University-North Carolina game at
Chapel Hill. The Tarheels have
won three in row from the Violets,
by 7 to 0 last year. N. Y. U. ap-
pears stronger this season, but so
does Carolina.
There is little basis for comparison
of Richmond and Rutgers, the un-
beaten teams involved in another in
tersectional test.

Shortage in Reserve
Strength Worries
Panther Coach
Injuries Hit Syracuse
As Hard Tilt With
Georgetown Neors
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-There
seems to be complete agreement
on the kind of a game Pitt and
Duke will play Saturday in Pitts
burg.
From the camp of the Panther
comes word that the lads have spent
most of the week on smoothing out
their aerial maneuvers. And up
from Durham float the reports that
the Blue Devils are spending prac-
tically every available minute con-
centrating on pass defense.
What the Panthers plan in the
way of defense and what the Dukes
are doing about an attack is left
to the imagination, but the assump-
ton is that the word plenty" would
sum that up. 5
Duke has been installed as a
slight favorite by the Pittsburgh
betting fraternity as result of not
being pressed by either Davidson or
Colgate. Pitts performances against
Washington and West Virginia, i'm
pressive as they were, apparently
didn't carry enough weight to make
the home toWners the favorites in
the game that comes close to head
lining the Nations card, as well as
the East's gridiron offerings.
Pitt Weak in Reserves.
Coach Charley BoWser's main
worry is the lack of reserves and
that old familiar cry from the Pitt
camp may have an important bear
ing on the games outcome. When
Ben Kish comes out of the lineup
the Golden Panther has lost its
only tried and true quarterback,
and BoWser doesn't like that a bit.
But the new mentor at Pitt ism t
the only Eastern coach with a re-
served seat on the wailing wall.
Jimmy Crowley of Fordham wasn't
a bit cheered when he heard that
Tulane's mighty Green Wave looked
good in practice against Fordham's S
pet plays, stopping them cold.
DR.. Nal Stevens of N. Y. U. cried
openly as the frosh, using North
Carolina plays. ran all over the
varsity. The same thing has gone
on most of the week and is getting
in the good doctors hair.
Navy Fears Arico.
Coach SWede Larson of Navy has
problem in trying to find a way
for his numbering gridders to stop
little Red Arico, Dartmouth's 142-
pound speedster. Navys ragged
tackling against Virginia has done
nothing to soothe Larson's peace of
mind.
Ossie Solem at Syracuse cried
some, too. Injuries are cutting into
the effectiveness of the Orange club
and it'll take healthy squad to
stop Georgetown s undefeated Hoyas.
However, sunshine appeared else
where on the Eastern grid landscape.
At Yale the return of Hal Whiteman
cheered the Ellis as they prepped for
Pennsylvania: Temple was happy
that they would not have to face
Davey OBrien's passes as they en-
tertain T. C. u: Army went through
one of its best drills Wednesday
and appeared ready for Columbia;
the return of Capt. John McLaughry
boosted Browns stock and Dart
mouths ability to stop Navy's pass
ing attack-as eXemplified by the
subs-Was heartening.

back of their heads and you begin
to realize the enormous mental job
they're doing. 1t isn't easy. 1t
wrecks any chance for all but a
minimum of social activities, be-
cause if they aren't in class or on
the field they've got to be boning
for an exam or trying to remember
what they do on No. 46 play if the
defensive right half waves to his
girl in the stands
And another thing fans overlook
is the efficacy of seven-man line
within the 20-yard-or scoring zone
Most of the plays today are designed
for use against six-man lines, so
when team drives into that last
20-yard stretch the center steps up
into the line, emphasis is placed on
stopping the running attack, and it
throws your siX-man stuff out of
keller. OF course, we have plays to
offset this-you've got to have them,
but if they don't happen to click the
fans yell about the offense begging
down and accuse the team of hav-
ing no scoring punch. They forget
that extra man playing in the line
against you and underestimate the
difference he makes.
Nicer for Spectator.
Il like the game as it is today,
but Id like it better if I was merely
a spectator. It's tough enough being
a line coach, and being head coach
the man who has to worry about
all these things is worse. AS for the
players, well, when something goes
wrong on the field and play misses
don't be so hasty in condemning
them. Give them a hand for the
good jobs they are doing, and re-
member it's neither a tea party nor
any place for a duIlard. It's hard
work, and you've got to use the old
noggin for something more than a
hatrack.
I'll take the old game" concluded
Mr.. Cotton, stretching the full
length of his 6-foot frame and
ambling off to the dressing room.
Wonder what he meant by that?

Burt ShipIey, Terp Coach Who
Called Turn on Keller, Touts
Two More Prospects

Oscar Witt, the current Cleveland
pilot who handled Charley when
Keller was performing with the
Yankees Newark farm, also predict
ed a brilliant future for him two
years ago. BY golly, I wish I had
him with this club" exclaimed Witt.
He'd make better outielder right
now than anybody I have. He's 60
ing to be great player"
The point is, though. that Shipley
smacked the spike squarely on the
noggin. Early this season he was
singing the praises of Pitcher Lefty
Springer and Charley's kid brother.
Hugh, and he hasn't seen fit to alter
his opinion that both will make the
big grade.
Hugh. also an outfelder, won't de-
velop as rapidly as Charley in Ship
ley's opinion, but he'll be we'll worth
stringing along with as evidenced
by his .438 batting average with the
Terps this season.
Job for Clark Griffith.
Springer, who won seven games
and lost one with Maryland, earns
the unqualified Endorsement of Ship
ley as the smoothest pitching pros
pect he ever has viewed in collegiate
ranks. Ship feels the southpaw
needs only to polish several small
items to crash the major league
circle.
President Clark Griffith of the
Mats, who turned down Charley,
might take peek at Hugh and
Springer. This time, however, he'll
be forced to flip caution out the
window, for major league scouts have
discovered Maryland's campus can't
be dismissed with a shrug.
In typical movie style. Keller last
night returned to Frederick, Md, as
the small town boy who made good
in the big city and his friends hon.
ored him with a banquet. Among
the speakers were Shipley and
President H. C. (Curly) Byrd, Mary
land president.

Clash Tomorrow
In Title Series
Other Attractive Games
Between High School
EIevens on Top

The Western League of the public
high school title series swings into
delayed action tomorrow, with the
Western Roosevelt game at Western
heading several attractions, which
include the Eastern Woodrow Wilson
game, the Observation-Disclosures Lee
tilt and the st. Johns Anacostia con-
test. On Saturday night Tech will
invade Baltimore City College.
The Western Roosevelt game fig
ures to give Coach Dan Ahern line
on his highly touted backfeld star
ring Jake Hilleary and George
Barnes. Western showed power in
beating George Washington High at
Alexandria, 10 to 7, and weakness by
losing to Westinghouse, 7 to 6.
Roosevelt Yet to Tally.
Roosevelt has yet to cross enemy
goal lines in two games, losing. to IA,
to st. Johns and to 81 to Baltimore
City College. Regarded as one of the
teams Central must whip to keep its
championship, Western should give
Roosevelt game. Central beat ST.
Johns by three touchdoWns and the
Johnnies were two scores better than
Roosevelt. If Western is to figure
prominently in the championship
race it should have little trouble
beating Roosevelt.
The Eastern-Wilson game at
Eastern Stadium brings togther two
teams that have yet to win Eastern
has bowed to Episcopal, Washing
ton-Lee and Gonzaga while scoring
but twice. Wilson, which opened the
season last week with a scoreless
game with Landon, does not figure

losing column.
Tough for AnacOstia.
While Anacostia showed spirit and
drive against Tech last week to win,
to 0, Roland Lund's team will have
its hands full in battling the Cadets
Art Faircloth, Anacostia star, and
Joe DAILY, St. Johns flash, will be
the marked men when hostilities
open at $3.50 at Anacostia. Frank
Cady, Days running mate, will be
absent, due to shoulder injury.
One of the toughest games to-
morrow brings together Central and
Washington-Lee In the last four
years this annual game has been
hard fought and last year was 13-
to-l3 tie. Johnny Baker, coach of
the invaders. has practically all of
his 1888 team back, while Hardy
Pearce has several newcomers play
ing.
The most cheering news to come
from Central is that Johnny Bre-
benner, husky back, will be back in
harness after missing the ST. Johns
game because of a shoulder injury.
This removes Johnny Dawes from
the. starting lineup. Another re-
placement will put Steve Adams at
tackle instead of George Davis as
a reward for his sterling play in the
st. Johns game. Otherwise the first
team remains intact.
