Gopher Grid Outlook
Excellent Despite
Back Shortage
Smith, Sweieer, Daley
Only Vet BoII-Toters;
Biermon Optimistic
By JAY VESSELS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. Anime
sofa football fans missed chance
to expect big things before last
years championship season. Pros
poets were just ordinary then.
Now the outlook is bright but the
folk prefer to be shown. Coach Ber-
ME Bierman finally has convinced
the cash trade that preseason gid
diness is too conducive to post
season regrets.
Actually. a fragile backfeld setup
is toning down enthusiasm over a
line, three deep most of the way,
that resembles the devastating for
ward walls OF 1884 and 1885 title
teams.
Coach Expects Good Team.
Some optimism does prevail and
even Bierman expects a good team.
He quickly qualities his own COM
ment, by saying that with sched-
ule like the Golden Gophers, a
team may lose game or two and
Stlll Ut d SOOu ledH
It's that mere handful of trained
backs that stimulates calm thought
Capt. Bruce Smith, Bob Sweiger and
Bill Daley return from the 1910
backfield that packed the pigskin
to the heights. All-America George
Franck and Quarterback Bobby Paf-
frath are missing. And the replace
ments are untried.
The halfback shortage is one OF
the most acute in recent Minnesota
history. Demand is so great that Pee
Wee Higgins, 155-pounder, is bid
ding for a job. With a surplus of
fullbacks headed by Sweiger, they
may shift Daley to right halfbacS
because he possesses speed, drive
and explosive punch that helped
rack up couple of 1910 victories.
Smith Replaces Franck.
Capt. Smith, hero of the Michi-
gan, Ohio State and other 1910
triumphs, will shift to Franck's left
half post for shot at the punting
passing, running and possibly signal
calling.
That line cannot miss greatness
because the key men, headed by
Tackles Urban Odson and Dick
Wildung, rated about the top last
year. Biggest and best is 250-pound.
6-foot-3-inch Odson. Ends are not
puny. either. One possible starter is
6-foot-5la inch, 220-pound Carl
Ekberg.
Eleven days after reporting, the
squad leaves for its opener with the
University of Washington at Seattle
September 27. So Bierman bluntly
advised the squad to report Septem-
ber 10 ready for 60 minutes of foot
ball.
That's how much he respects the
opposition listing, in order, WASH

gan, Northwestern, Nebraska, Iowa

Central Lads Mistake
Notre Dame Lineup
For Bear Specially
Vikings, With Jonkowski
Coaching, Apparently
In for Good Yeur
Rv GEORGE HITBER.

Footballs T formation is interest
Ing high school players as much, i
not more, than the collegians anc
pros. Practically every scholasti,
coach in Washington who callec
out his squad this week was greeted
by the question, Are we gonna uSt
the T this year?"
The answer in all cases was mo.
but Jan Jankowski, new Centra
High coach, is having trouble con.
v1nclng his players that his system
isn't T. On Tuesday, the frs
day out, he lined up II boys tc
show the others the basic forma
tion they will use this year. He sci
up balanced line with the quar-
terback directly behind the center
and taking the ball from him. The
fullback was directly behind the
quarter, with halfbacks on either
side.
All" said Centrals squad in
unison, "the T formation!"
Uses NOtre Dame Formation.
But Jan was quick to point out
that 1t wasn't the T at all, but the
Notre Dame formation which, as he
pointed out, has surprising similar
tiles to the T. JankowSki inherits the
Notre Dame system in a direct line
from Knute Rockne himself. Cap
tain of the 1888 Catholic University
eleven, Jan was tutored in that style
of play by Dutch Bergman, who
played under Rockne on the same
teams with the great George Gipp.
II central was using the T this
year, however, it would be nothing
new. For six years Coach Hardy
Pearce there used that system and
had more than moderate success
with 1t before the Chicago Bears and
stanford brought it back into ma
tlonal prominence last year. All
Central did with the T was to win
the high school championship in
1895, 1896 and 1888
With only two days of practice
behind the team it is too early to tell
much about it, but Central ap-
parently has a chance to go places
again this year. More than 90
members of last years squad, all of
whom saw more or less experience in
actual games. are back in the SQUAD
OF 30 working under JankoWski.
Wilbur Rock Sets Pace.
Leading the pack is Wilbur Rock,
Al-High tackle, who has returned
with 1876 pounds draped on a e.
toot-2 frame. Rocks chief value is
on defense, where he backs up the
line, and opposing coaches last wear
soon learned they couldn't do much
through his side.
Others returning are: Robert Mess.
Mike Denikos, Ted Thomaides. STAN
ley Valanos, Johnny Ward and Nick
Chacos, backs; Jack Samperton
Bernie Grosbean, James Kurtz and
BOB Hill, ends; Nick Petrone and
Bill McGrath, tackles: Hubert
Tucker. Sam Richwine, Henry Law
Ter, Dick Mould and Mike Goldberg
guards, and George Lavinder, center
That sounds like good crop of
experienced players, but all weren't
regulars last year. Among the miss
Ing are Harry Martin, passing
plunging, kicking back, and Sam
D1 Blasi, end, both of whom made
the Au-High team. Di Blasi is work
ing with the Central squad but only
until he reports as a freshman at
washington and Lee on Septem-
Der Is.

CAMP PERRY, Ohio, Sept. 4
Seven pistol championships, six
with the .38-caliber revolver and
one with the service weapon. were
on the national match schedule to-
day along with three -22-caliber
rife events.
Only one of the originally sched-
uled small-bore rife matches was
due for decision, heavy entry lists
forcing postponement of two. can
collation. of one and a rearrange-
ment of the entire slate. One of
yesterdays postponed events was
to be decided and another was
moved up from Fridays schedule.
Just when the winners would be
announced was problematical. For
instance, data on yesterdays four
pistol and three rife match sched-
ule failed to clear the statistical
office before midnight. Indications
were that nightfall might halt the
matches today, and that the sched-
ule might have to be curtailed even
further to finish by the Sunday
deadline.

Fed Linksmen in Star Tourney
Given Dates for Title Jousts;
Worshom D. c. Open Choice

Washington open championship
under a Weather Bureau threat OF
showers, and a certainty that the
boys will sprinkle the nine-hole
course with a downpour of brides
All this in addition to the cloud
burst of oratory promised tonight
at dinner to three of the golf
writer's of the town.
Pre-tournament predictions were
that a score around l33-four under
par-would be required to win the
championship That would be the
same score which won the Baltimore
open title earlier in the year, and
seems about right, although the
winning mark may be a couple OF
strokes higher.
The pros have an amateur threat
in point of numbers, for nearly half
the starting field is made up of
simon purses. But the threat is q
popgun. The truth is that the
amateurs, without Bobby BrowneIl
are not good enough to lick the
pros in this sector. Bobby could dc
1t, and proved it in winning the
Maryland open, but the other
amateur are not that good, although
Ralph Bogart can come close.
WOrsham Is Favorite.
The thing looms as another
chance for Lew Worsham of Burn
ing Tree to gather in the sheaves
against the coming winter. Lew has
won so many purses this year that
the pros are considering forming
themselves intos two groups
Worsham. and the runners-up.
If Worsham wins this one. can
he call himself the Middle Atlantic
P. G. A. champ in advance of the
tournament for the latter title? It
would seem so, for earlier he won
the Baltimore open.
Next Monday at Columbia the
boys will gather again for an
amateur-pro affair, first to be held
at Columbia in two years. This
one should pull out a banner field,
for a lot of folks want to play
Columbia and don't often get the
chance. That happens to be a
golf course where a par cracking
round is a rare bird.

Mermaids Eye Marks
In Presidents 'sCup
Regatta Events
Virginia LoureIs Now
Worn by Jackie Freer,
Mory Lou Rudio

Two of the towns youngest and
most promising mermaids will be
seen in action Saturday night in the
Presidents Cup Regatta swimming
meet in the East Potomac Pool.
Jackie Freer, a veritable fish in
water. and Mary Lou Rudio, a 13-
yearold with the finesSe of a vet
eran, are the two and they figure to
spend lot of time in the limelight
off their past performances.
Jackie, budding 14-year-old
star, isn't as concerned about style
as in getting to the finish line first
and churnS through the water like
a runaway outboard. Not so long
ago she won the Virginia State
Junior girls 50-yard crown in the
record dshattering time of 329 Sec
onds and now she's making goo-goo
eyes at the 50-meter freestyle prize
in Saturday nights meet.
Coached by June Booth Stan
former District champion and one
of the best swimmers to come out
of Washington. Mary Lott isn't as
powerful as Jackie, but gets excellent
results by virtue of her perfect
style. She took the Virginia junior
50-yard backstroke title with another
record performance of 40.7 seconds
and will be one of the favorites in
the backstroke Saturday night.
Meanwhile regatta officials have
announced an all-star lineup for
Sundays rowing events which will
attract top-1ight oarsmen from all
over the East. George A. Herman,
chairman of the committee in
charge. has received entries from
the Malta Boat Club, Fairmont Row
ing Club and Undine Barge Club,

in the Southeastern States, where it
is an important game bird.
So scarce were they in these States
that sportsmen, naturaists and
game administrators joined forces
in asking that the dove be given
greater protection.
Dove Prolific Breeder.
The mourning or turtle dove is a
prolific breeder, sometimes success
fully bringing of three broods, so
that, even though the condition of
the species now is likened to that of
our ducks in 1884, it is not considered
so serious but that few shortened
seasons will bring it back to nearly
normal.
There is considerable doubt that
we ever again will have excessively
long seasons and the overshooting
common in some sections, for the
powers that be are not going to
permit this nearest relative of the
passenger pigeon to follow it to ex-
tinction.
The dove is our one game bird
that breeds in every State in the
Union. 1t supplies some of the finest
shooting to be had anywhere, not be-
cause of its speed but because of the
open type of country it ranges. The
speed of the dove, contrary to popu-
lar opinion, is not so great as that
of some other BIRDS and they do
not fly the long distances usually
credited them. even during their mi
! grations. Most reliable observations
indicate they seldom II ever exceed
40 miles an hour and migrate in
easy relays averaging 20 to 80 miles
day.
Hunters Increase Million a Year.
Since 1895 the increase in the
number of hunters in the United
States has been at the rate of al
most million year. A few States
are keeping up with this increase
by like increase of some of their
game animals. The Federal Gov
ernmept is seeking to do the same
with migratory species of birds and
waterfowl. Restoration of all wild
life must continue on an equal scale,
but hunters must help by taking
smaller bags.
