Ball Toters
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS. Sept. THE foot
ball squad which will report to Mai.
Emery Larson, head coach at the
Naval Academy. Friday appears par
ticularly strong in running and pass
ing backs.
Navy people believe that they have
one of the best running backs in the
East in the person of Emmett pun
kim Wood, the chunky hall carrier
who led the team in yardage last
season. They also rely upon Cliff
Lenz. the fast, 200-pound plunger
who made a good start as a sopho-
more last season.
Monte Whitehead. regular last
season, is another good, all-around
back, while there also is every rea-
son to believe that Lou Mayo, who,
like Wood and Whitehead, is in his
last season, will be efficient in every
line of play
The plebes have sent up a con-
siderable group of backs who promise
to be of real service. Chief among
these is Bob Leonard, l65-pounl
Texan who did some fine passing
in spring practice.
Other newcomers who have been
designated as A squad men are
Wesley Gebert, John Cutting. Sam
my Boothe and Sherwood Werner
while Chester Lee and Clarence
Justice have been shifted to end.

STOCKTON, Calf, Sept. T.
Every season there is clamor
on the part of some coaches to
revise sections of the football
rules or adopt new regulations.
1t is as inevitable as death or
taxes.
Amos Alonzo Stagg. lifetime
member of the National Rules
Committee. sees no present need
for changes. Beginning his
golden anniversary as a gridiron
tactician the coached two years
at Springfield (Mass.) College,
Al at University of Chicago and
is entering his seventh at the
College of the Pacific) the grand
old man of football thinks the
game is all right as is.
Some contend the defense has
caught up with the offense.
y Stagg thinks not. He says there
was more scoring last year than
the year before. If and when
the defense begins to dominate
the game, the rules will be

year-old dean of coaches.
I'm not a standpatter, but, as
I visualize the future of the
game, I think there will be
tremendous development in the
skill of passing and the number
of passers,' Stagg said. Il
think boom times are ahead Tor
college football teams, in that
every one will have one or more
crack passers. I can conceive OF
enough improvement in the de-
velopment of the aerial attack
to the end that free scoring will
not be stopped.
1T is a matter of record that
whenever a team has had
superb passer and fairly strong
defense it has produced a lot of
scores. The players, as whole,
are superior now. The secret
lies in the continued improve
ment of high and prep school
passers."

Of game. He embraced 1t with

Future Seems to Promise
Max Little Happiness

Schmeling holds a commission in
the German reservists. BY this time,
he probs bly, is in the lines, front or
rear. east or west, with his proud
acres liable to destruction by tax or
bombardment or both. The future
seems to hold nothing for him. At
worst. his fate will be grim. At best,
1t Will be drab and proftless.
This fellows life always was
touched with bitterness and dlSap-
pointment. He wanted things bad
ly-prizes, titles and glory-and,
when he won them by hard, sweat
ing, tight-fisted application that
left him no time for rest and pleas
ure, they turned to ashes in his
hands.
He Was-is-a slow man with a
dollar, and he took much abuse for
this. Like every one whose ways
keem grasping and selfish, however,
he saw a goal before him and cared
little or nothing for what the world
said while he pursued it. Schmel-
ing. unhappily, was one OF those
men for whom the goal remains at
a distance Every victory he scored
was defeat.
This is his last tight-and the
curse of futility still rides hard on
his back.

Bv BILL DISMER, Jr.,
Star Staf Correspondent,

EN- ROUTE TO CHICAGO. Sept.
7.-One month to the day since they
began training in Spokane, the Red
skins were speeding East today with
nothing TO disturb a universal belief
that has prevailed the past 81 days.
That is that they are bringing to
Washington the largest. finest and
most versatile collection of backs IN
their team history, lacking only one
thing-Weight. But with Coach Ray
Flahertys system of offense designed
to shake runners loose instead of de-
pending on power plays, even that
disadvantage may be offset.
Each Earns His Salt.
There is not much doubt that
Flaherty would like to keep and
have place for every one of the IS
backs who survived the first two
cuts. Without exception. each of the
eight veterans and seven rockies
composing the present ball-carrylng
and blocking contingent could be
extremely valuable to the Redskins
in their National League campaign.
He has seen enough to know that
Andy Farkas. Frank Fllchock,
Sammy Baugh, Don Irwin, Dick
Todd, Jimmy Johnston, Wilbur
Moore. Charlie Holm and Jimmy
German can fill the bill when it
comes to carrying the mail. Baugh
and Filchock are the teams two best
passers. But German can fling 'em
impressively and Johnston is being
groomed, too. Because he appears
destined to be hurt when used as a
ball-carrier. Max Krause henceforth
will be used exclusively in his old
role, that of blocker, and with Erny
Pinckert, Ed Justice, Jay Turner
and Red Morgan assisting, Redskin
pigskin-toters should get adequate
trail-blazing.
Triple Threat Meade.
Although he has not had the
chance to observe him under fire
yet this year, Flaherty feels that
Jim Meade will prove equally val
liable as runner, blocker and
kicker.
incidentally, word has reached the
Redskins that both Tilly Manton
and George Karamatic, the two vet
eran backs let out last week, have
Joined the Los Angeles Bulldogs.
1t appears that the Chicago Cardi-
nails, who claimed Manton by the
waiver route, didn't know that two
of their old backs were returning
and Cancelled their bid.
No stop was to be made today, but
the Redskins will hold tWo-hour
workout at Soldier Field in Chicago
tomorrow morning.

NEW YORK, Sept. ,N.ANAD.-
There is one way Germany still can
win the Davis Cup. Having failed
to land the trophy by hook, crook
and anschluss, she possibly might
sail up alongside the boat which
carries the chalice back to Australia
and take it in straight sets, over the
rail.
There is even a chance that Japan,
which defaulted from Davis Cup
play this year may change her
mind and get back in the compe-
ton, too, in which case the winner
of the cup would be the first gum
boat to pull alongside.
This system has its merits. 1t
does away with tennis players alto

JUNGLE RAYS CORNER

Among the birds which live inside

>Their feathers sometimes are al

Snowy owls make nests on the
ground, building them from sticks
or grass, or both. An interesting
thing about these birds is their
power of seeing we'll in the day
time. Most kinds of owls hunt only
at night, but snowy owls hunt while
the sun is shining. If they did not
do that they could not live through
the long, sunshine-filled summer of
the Arctic.
Some snowy owls are known to
fly southwark for the winter. They
are seen from time to time in South
ern Canada and in northern parts
of the United States. Their food
is made up of fish, rabbits, water
fowl and the small. furry animals
called Jennings"
Another Arctic bird is the putin.
It's coat is usually partly black, part
ly white. One kind has yellow
feathers in place of white.
Puffins also have the name of
"sea parrots They spend great

divers. In winter they have been
seen as far south as Long Island,
N. Y, but they always nest far in
the North.
Another and more famous bird of
the Northland is the Arctic tern. 1t
is noted because of the extremely
long flights it makes from season to
season.
Terms are relatives of sea gulls
and are mainly water birds. There
are more than so kinds of terms,
but of them all the Arctic tern
makes the longest flights.
Think of birds which build nests
inside the Arctic Circle and which
then fly southwark to Argentina!
Arctic terms do that. 1t is figured
that some of them travel 1000
miles southwark, then 1000 miles
northward inside a single year.
