Murtoueh Says Violets,
Husky and Fost, Are
Due to Get Going

Whatever idea Georgetown's un-
beaten squad had of a nice. quiet
week end in New York were dis
PEELED today after Head Coach Jack
Hagerty emerged from a huddle
with George Murtagh, who secuted
New York u in its game with Holy

NAL Stevens squad isn't as bad
as It's record" Murtaeh warned
Its a big team end apparently
can't get going for one reason or
another. but the. chances are it'll
be ready for us this week"
Its the same old story" said
Hagerty. They look just fair
against the others then come up
with a great game against us But
we're used to that sort OF thing
against N. Y. U-it's been that way
ever since the 1928 game when Lou
Titles team upset that great out
At Chick Meehan had, so we'll be
ready-I hope"
Mental Lapse is Costly.
Murtagh thought the Violets'
field general had a mental let
down near the end of the first half
when Holy Cross scored a touch
down on a fourth-down pass into
the end zone to take a 7-6 lead.
New York, he reported, tried STALL
ing tactics with 81 minutes of time
left. and when 1t got of bad
punt, trying to kick out of its own
territory. it put Holy Cross in a
good spot for a score
The Crusaders played it smartly,
too. using plays-mostly passes, that
automatically stopped the clock
when they failed-plays such as
stepping out of bounds and aerials
into the end zone That last pass
was the payoff pitch and the diff
ference between victory and defeat,
as subsequent events proved.
Have Dangerous Backs.
Murtagh was particularly i'm
pressed by the work of Woody Wit

Paul Boroff, who were listed at III

who appeared much heavier.

Honest ZeoI Of Louis

They'll do the best they can. Pri-
vately. however, some of them are
planning TO hold back contracts till
they know how matters stand with
their men, and to hornsWoggle each
other in deals concerning minor
leaguers who may be drafted.
The heavyweight champion of the
world, Joe Louis, a simple, stolid
unimaginative fellow, sets the ball
players a rather shaming example
with his honest zeal to cooperate.
What thought he can give it, Joe
has given. He has considered the
issue 1t doesn't matter whether
his decision to go when called is
right or wrong
And it doesn't matter that he has
a few hundred thousand dollars
slowed away, because he would do
the same thing if he had only coffee
money and the prospect of making
fortune in the next year
There are some ball players who
feel the same way as Louis. But

Ball players who play in the big
leagues get pretty good salaries.
Some are underpaid on their merits,
but all of them are comfortable.
They are paid during the months
they work, but they are paid a

any man for IL months.
To take advantage of the techni-
eality that they do not receive pay
checks during the winter-well, you
have to know ball players to believe
such a thing possible Knowing

NEW YORK, Oct % (N.ANAD.-
The patriotism of baseball players
Is Just about sufficiently intense to
operate a one-watt fashlight
Much as I regret to say it, the
majority of the boys are draft
dodgers. Naturally, their jobs are
pleasant, their hours are short, and
they might be expected to feel re-
luctant about leaving the sunny
ball orchard in favor of hours of
stiff Army toll at practically nothing
per month. Natural reluctance is
all right, if not carried too far But
the average ball player frankly is
fanatical on the subject of ITO heck
with Uncle Sam and leave me alone
to work my racket"
There is a barefaced selfishness
about this that seems to be typical
of big league ball players. My
guess is that the boys are badly
spoiled.
I talked to many of them about
consumption before the 1910 season
ended. There is no point in men,
tioning names. because the result
was unpleasant. One in 20-and no
more-expressed a mild interest in
national defense, in what the Europ-
can war is about. in the reasons
