ladies and gents, now that base
ball Is over, we can get down to
the serious business OF football.
Who was it said Notre Dame

think those Engineers from the
deep South will give the Irish
one of their toughest battles OF
the season. And don't forget,
your Uncle Charlie picked those

Hoyas May Discover
Waynesburg Eleven
Is No Pushover
yellow jackets Noted
For Stiff Contests
With Star Teums
BY LEWIS F. ATHISON.

Maybe Waynesburg will roll over
and play dead for Georgetown to-
morrow night at Griffith Stadium,
but here's hoping somebody drops
a hint about what is expected OF
it because its record against bigger,
and allegedly better opponents,
makes mighty interesting reading.
AS a matter of fact the Yellow
Jackets are proud of the fact that
they have been anything but BREATH
ers for such teams as West Virginia,
Pitt, Fordham and Duquesne. They
dropped a $50 decision to George
town on their last trip to Washing
ton in 1927, but, as the schools min
lister Of propaganda points out, that
was before Frank Wolf, one-time
Penn State star, took over.
VOLTS Record Sparkles.
VOLTS record at the little Penn
sylvania college glitters like dia-
mond in a coal bin and his knack
of wringing the last ounce of ability
from his charges has been nothing
short of amazing. Wolf took over
in 1928 and in 1881 Waynesburg up
set Penn State, 60. To prove it
was no f1uke, the Yellow Jackets
took the Nittany Lions over the
hurdles again in 1882, 7-6.
In 1885, when Jock Sutherland
was supposed to have one of his
greatest Pitt elevens, he had his
hands full squeezing out a l4-0 VIC
tory over Waynesburg and year
later the Jackets heaved another
fright at Fordham before finally
bowling. 20-6. That was the year
West Virginia eked out TO de-
cision and was glad to get it. In
1886 the Mountaineers had to be
satisfied with a 1870 victory. This.
incidentally, was an off year for
Waynesburg.
Always a power in their own class,
the Pennsylvanians lost only to
Fordham and Duquesne last year
and captured their conference
championship. In three games this
season they have tied Youngstown
College, 6-6; lost to Duquesne and
walked over Potomac State.
Uses "Krazy Quilt" System.
Wolf has some mighty fine boys
under his direction. They're fast
and have to be smart to use the
"krazy quilt" offense he employs.
It's patterned after a Rube Gold
berg blueprint for hitching broken
down nags, 12-cylinder motors and
operating sliding boards in reverse
with same. They say it's so dizzy
Wolf himself can't tell when the
boys make a mistake.
Waynesburg has II lettermen-
Capt. Joe Lapkowicz, Stan Walk
owicz, Johnny Wiley, Bob Brooks,
Frank Bielevicz, Nick George, Jack
Hart, Bill Wilson, Tony Petri, Pete
LIE Dome, Buck Mzaer, Johnny
Stefanic and Ben Paul. They'll
average about 178 pounds-hardly
enough to cope with George
towns 1876.
Not by any stretch of the most
elastic imagination does Waynes-
burg figure to take the Hoyas,
but this is fair warning it will be
a much better game than many
anticipate.

SEATTLE, Oct. 10.-Cornell's 1910

as impressive on the yardstick as
it was on the yard lines.
The American Football Statis-

second with 426, followed by Brown,
AIS in two games; Mississippi, with
421.7 in three games, and Rice, 420
in one game. Creighton, Iowa, Hi

Wake Forest, Mississippi, North

tougher opposition than some of
the first five, still push their way
into the top 10. Wake Forest led
this classification in 1889.
Cornell's 276 yards from II COM
