BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 1e.-Coach
"Swede" Larson will stick to his
Navy backfield story for the closing
grid encounters with Princeton and
Army.
Larson said he was satisfied with
the work of Tommy Blount, Pat
Gray, Monty Whitehead and Sam
(Albie) Boothe. Barring injuries, he
will keep the quartet together as
starters.
He said his decision to use the
two rockies, Boothe and Blount. in
the backf1eld with the veterans
Whitehead and Gray was based on
the cohesion and smoothness of the
unit in the Columbia game.
Larson kept the squad at hard
contact work yesterday, and said ne
planned to drive the Midshipmen
the balance of this week.
The Navy has an open date
Saturday, but examinations begin
next week and the Swede must get
in all his contact drill now.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Jay Berwan-
ger. Chicago's last all-America foot
ball player, blames the alumni for
the schools pitifully weak showing
on the gridiron in recent years.
I'VE have scholarships to give"
says Jay, "just like any one else, II
the boys will come and get them.
Its up to the alumni to do what
other alumni do and help bring the
boys in.
The goal of President Robert
Hutchins is to have the greatest
educational institution in the world,
and he isn't going to let football
stand in the way. But I think we
can have a good football team and
also achieve that goal"

Air Bombs vs.. Power
May Settle Issue in
Division Race
Eastern Opposes Tech,
Johnnies Meet WI.
In Other Big Tits
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

What undoubtedly Will be recorded
as the outstanding game of the local
scholastic football season will be
played tomorrow at Central Stadium
when a light, fast Central eleven
pits its aerial explosives against
powerful Western outfit, with the
western division championship of
the interhigh series title scrap dan
Cling in the balance.
OF almost equal attractiveness are
another brace of tiffs, with Eastern
attempting to snatch the eastern
division series crown at Techs ex-
pense at Eastern Stadium and st.
Johns tangling with undefeated and
united Westinghouse High at
Ballston, Va. The Little Generals
will seek their ninth straight victory.
Aside from the intriguing posi-
bility of triple tie being created in
the eastern division through a Tech
triumph, the series spotlight will be
focused on Central Stadium. Should
Eastern tie or defeat Tech, the Lin
coin Parkers will possess the eastern
division title.
Tie Would Present Problem.
Should Tech whip Eastern. how
ever, and toss Eastern, Tech and
Anacostia into triple tie, the High
School Athletic Council would have
to decide who would face the
Western Central winner for the
series championship.
Coach Hardy Pearce of Central
admits his club is prepped to make
its bid for victory through the air
while Western probably will depend
IN such crack leather luggers as
George Barnes and Jake Hilleary to
puncture the lighter Central line.
Spanked by the clever Benny
Steiner, Central has waded through
a tough schedule of seven games,
losing only to Washington-Lee,
1914, and being held to TT tie by
George Washington High. Westerns
only loss in six games also was in
flicted by Washington-Lee, 7-6.
Records Are Similar.
Both teams are undefeated in
series competition, Western whip
ping Roosevelt, Wilson and Eastern
and Central spanking Roosevelt,
Tech and Wilson. Both possess scor-
ing punch, as evidenced by the fact
they have scored in every game and
been held to a single touchdown
only once each How evenly they
stack up is reflected in their records,
which follow:

Gonzaga Beats Riders
To Finish Campaign
With Even Break
MuIvihiiI Scores Lone
Touchdown Set Up by
Pass and Rubu's Run

A short touchdown plunge by Bob
by Mulvihill in the first quarter
against Roosevelt enabled Gonzaga
to close its football season yester-
day with a 500 standing in eight
games, despite the fact that the Pur-
pie had one of the youngest squads
in town.
Playing on the Rough Riders field,
Gonzaga, which earlier in the week
lost to st. Johns, 0-20, pushed the
ball across and then battled in vain
to increase the score against great
.ly improved and fighting eleven,
which was trying to win its second
straight.
Pass Sets Up Touchdown.
A long pass, Bernard Heaiy to
John Scully, set up the lone tally.
Then Elmer Raba, 16-year-old triple
threat, raced around left end to put
the ball on the 10-yard stripe. Null
vihill picked up 9, Raba was stopped,
and then Mulvihill plunged over.
Raba's attempted conversion was
low.
From that point on neither team
was able to threaten until the last
quarter. Then both used passes to
get within scoring distance. Con-
zaga marched so yards to the Roose-
velt 4, but two passes went astray,
and two plunges lost 6 yards.
Interception Halts Rider Drive.
Roosevelt managed to start a drive
that was interrupted momentarily
by pass interception, and finally.
with three minutes left to play,
Billy Hall completed three aerials
that were good for so yards. The
Puppies defense stiffened here, how
ever, and it took the ball on downs
as the game ended,
Evening star., 1939-11-16

Central and Western both are
equipped with tricky maneuvers.
Tackle Ray Wrenn. for instance,
pulls out Of the Western forward
wall to chuck passes, while End
Dick Farr of Central drops back to
punt, and, occasionally, toss pass.
Central's Coach Pearce has con-
cocted play which he has saved
especially for Western.
Eastern will enter its engagement
with Tech thinking only in terms
of triumph. 1--WE feel we played our
worst game in month in losing to
Western" says Coach Mike Kelley,
land we don't figure to be that bad
against Tech. We want to get into
that championship play-off and
don't believe the boys are going to
let Tech keep 'em out of it."
St. Johns Menaces WI.
st. Johns, 300 victor over Con-
zaga last Sunday, is confident of
checking Washington-Lees mount
ing chain of conquests. The Little
Generals, though, haven't been
scored on in their last three games
and have compiled 88 points in spill
ing Anacostia, Fredericksburg and
Calvert Hall.

Fine Points in Football
Filed by Our Expert
BY JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, Nov. Is (N.A.N.A)-
. Lardner's information service takes
this opportunity to come to the aid
Of the thousands of coaches, fans
and subdebutantes who have ques-
tions to ask about football, willy
nilly:
Dear Sir-I have been coaching at
dear old Sebago College for six
years and getting along pretty we'll,
but just lately we have decided to
schedule an opponent, and I am
anxious to brush up on my football
data so as to put the boys on the
field in position to give a good
account of themselves and win the
ball game for the Beige and Cherry
OF old Sebago. Can you straighten
me out on the following points:
l. What is the difference between
touchback and touchdown?
2. What is meant by the express
sion, Q minutes to co.?
3. Is a coach eligible?
4. What is the fiat zone?
Nobody was more surprised than
was when we scheduled an op-
ponent, so picture my embarrass-
ment.-L. j. w.
Most Coaches Like Touchdown
Better Thon Touchbock
Answer: I will be glad to help
Sebago out in this emergency, coach.
Taking your questions one at time,
mere is the correct dope:
l. Most coaches prefer the touch
down to the touchback. Pop Warner
was the first to see and make use
OF the great advantages of the
touchdown. He points out that it
counts points, which can make a
mighty important difference in the
outcome of the game. Mighty i'm
portant.
z. Two minutes to GO" means
that you have less than three min
utes to go.
8. If coach is making more than
$4,000 year, he is highly eligible.
1 would call him the catch of the
season. In fact, I will call him the
catch of the season.
4. The fiat zone will take care of
itself.
Good Idea to Put Back Goal
Posts if He Took 'em
Dear Mr.. Lardner: My friends and
I are in favor of putting the goal
posts back where they were. How
do you feel about that?-Dartmouth
'l3.
Answer-If you are the fellows
who took those goal posts, by all
means put them back. I know it
seemed like lark at the time, but
those things cost money, 10, old
man.
Dear sir:-Please explain the 6-2-
81 defense.-Heartbroken.
Answer-I hardly know what to
say about the 6-2-2-1 defense that
hasn't been said already. The l-2-
2-6 defense is favored by MANY
coaches as being more picturesque,
and the 3-3-212-21a as more confus-
ing, but give me the old 6-2-2-l
every time. 1t combines the friend
illness of the Gill with the savoir-
falre OF the 8-2-1. The 1922 is
more impregnable, but calls for five
extra people who may be hard to
get at the last minute.
Dear sir: What is the difference?
Curious.

very droll anecdote that came off

Zuppke one year when zuppke's
team absolutely was unable to
score. In fact, it hadn't made a
first down all season.

cident on an Erie Railroad siding.
