tured by their clash with Boston
College tomorrow at Fenway Park,
where they hope to square accounts
for last years 1913 beating by the
Eagles.
Ben Bulvin, star halfback and the
teams most potent offensive threat,
was reported in good shape by
Trainer Harry Crowley, who said
the youngster definitely would be
ready to play. Bulvin turned his
ankle Thursday and was excused
from practice yesterday to guard
against more serious injury.
He and Jack Doolan are expected
to be the spearheads OF a wide
open attack on the Eagles with the
Hoyas' famed spread plays holding
the center of the stage. The B. c.
squad has received due notice of
Doolan's speed running from the
spread, and also has been tipped
off to be on guard against Joe

though both elevens admittedly are
weaker than last year when they
came up TO the game undefeated
and bowlbound, they appear to be
evenly matched this time and
capable of generating fully as much
excitement.
Boston College has prepared a
warm reception for its guests. Coach
Denny Myers has depended on the

the orthodox Notre Dame box, in

combination is a power generator
of high caliber.

Dread Of Upset
Drives Squad
To Slavery
3-Hour Drill 5 Days
Each Week and Fines
Keep Champs Keen
BY TOM SILER,
Press Sports Writer.

ASSOClhleu fItsS Sports writer.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The Chicago
Bears are hailed on all sides as the
greatest collection of players ever
assembled, but the pro football
champions aren't listening.
They grow less merciful with each
passing week, because of mortal
dread of an upset which drives them
on to harder work and more stren-
uous preparations for every game.
The power, deception and pre-
cision you see each Sunday isn't
any accident, nor can it be traced
to an all-star squad. Owner-Coach
George Halas, Line Coach Hunk
Anderson, End Coach Luke Johnsos
and Backfield Coach Paddy Driscoll
drill the players three hours five
mornings each week.
In addition, three nights a week
skull session is held for the play
ers. Sickness alone will excuse a
player.
Toll At Night, Too.
Halas and his staff meet the
other nights to smooth out their
game plans. Anderson and JohnsoS
work out the defense formations
and Halas and Driscoll are respon-
sible for offensive tactics, old and
new.
For instance, the Bears used eight
separate defensive formations de-
signed solely to halter Don Hutson,
the great Packer end, in the Green
Bay game. None stopped him, but
you can't say the Bears weren't try
ing.
On Friday afternoons the coaches
meet with QuarterbackS Sid Luck
man and Young Bussey to review
plans for the next game Certain
plays are tabooed for that particu-
lar game and others are stressed as
most likely to work
Free With His Fines.
Each Tuesday every player must
give Halas written report of his
opponents assignments on offenSe
and defense. Failure to do so
brings an automatic fine of $40. one
of many levied for shortcomings.
Halas slaps small fines on players
right and left for sloppy playing,
reserving the major fines for break
ing training, missing trains and in
subordination. Halas has had no
occasion to levy any big fines this
season.
The Bears themselves feel that if
they get beat they'll do it them
selves by getting too cocky. For two
reasons they work hard to word off
overconfdence-they want another
pro title and they want to go
through undefeated.

Terps Prime Running
Attack for Battle
With Quakers
Blend 1t With Passing;
Will Sturt Same Team
As Against Florida

The same lineup that started
against Florida last week, featuring
three crack passers in the back
field Meare DuVall Jack Wright
and Elmer Rigby-will open for
MARYLAND against Penn tomorrow
at Phila 1elphia. but the TerpS may
RELY more on their running attack
than aerial game.
Passing was relegated to a Sec
ondary role yesterday as the Terps
romped through the final heavy
workout. Running plays were re-
hearsed against various defensive
line setups employed by Penn, and
Coach Jack Faber was pleased with
the result.
Faber believes Penn's defensive
setups will pose tough problems for
Marylands field generals tomorrow,
but he also is acutely aware OF the
fact that it may open up an avenue
to pay dirt if the quarterback
handles his men properly,
There also is the possibility that
NAL Nldlltl > d4I dllNl AtllllAIl5 cOOe'SAAS
will be blended in a series OF trick
plAvs designed to circumVent Penn's
defensive tactics.
Faber has worked hard on Mary
lands blocking and hopes TO see an
improved brand tomorrow. With
any help in this department he
believes the teams star runners will
get away from some Sizable gains
and possibly touchdown. Mary
land, while not kidding itself about
the Quakers' power, thinks it has
enough dynamite in its own attack
to score and make the afternoon
interesting for its host.
The Terp line is unchanged, with
Ralph Burlin pronounced fit. The
veteran tackle will team up with
Vincent and the coaching staff fer
vently hopes he lasts most of the
game, James and Conrad are slated
to start at ends; Morton and Heyer,
guards, and Jarmoska at center.
Maryland is scheduled to leave
College Park tomorrow morning at
9 o'clock.

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 24-Don't
worry. folks. about this little lad,
Bud Higgins, current detonator of
Minnesotas explosive gridiron out
fit.
He has taken everything that Illi-
nois and Pittsburgh could give him
and kept right on coming back for
more.
And this is all about a chap who
weighs less than $50 pounds and is
playing big time football against
very large and very robust op-
ponents.
You might rightly call him a little
squirt for he seems to squirt out of
the milling masses and pop up again
at some distant point.
Like Cat With Mouse.
Watching him is something like
watching a pussy cat triumphantly
playing with mouse. Pussy slapS
down her paw and sometimes the
mouse is there. But sometimes 1t
isn't.
That's Bud Higgins. You almost
can hear those annoyed behemoths
snarling after Higgins has run a
few of them ragged-"let me get my
hands on that little squirt"
But that's just the trouble. Be-
fore they can close their grasp Buds
gone and on his way.
Such is the story of the little guy
who may keep Minnesota rolling
even in tomOrroW'S clash with Michi-
gan, while Capt. Bruce Smith, top

nursing injuries.

NORFOLK. Va. Oct. 24-William
and Mary's tomahawks are sharp
ened to chop off another Southern
Conference scalp, but the band OF
George Washington Colonials that
blew in here yesterday was IN no
mood to be beaten.
Although laboring in the throes
of one of its poorest seasons in re-
cent years, G. w. is only on the
threshold of its first conference
campaign and sees hopes of salvag-
ing the year by hanging up pre-
sentable conference record. Tied by
Washington and Lee, 90, two weeks
ago. the Colonials entertain hopes of
bagging their first victory at the In
dians' expense.
Two things are in their favor to-
night. William and Mary has yet to
win game at Foreman Field, site
of the city's new and magnificent
stadium, and G. w. expects to be as
near its peak physically as it will be
all season. Hank AgusieWicz, a
guard; Johnny Picco, an end, and
Scott GudmundSon, halfback, all of
whom have been injured, are report
ed ready for action.
William and Mary, however, will
be the favorite, and the return of
Johnny KorczoWSki, halfback in
iured in the Hampden-Sydney
game, will add strength to the line
up.
The Virginians are seeking their
second conference victory in as many
