 As you look forward to meeting Pennsylvania, Notre Dame and Navy, do you feel like man on the spot2"
 T feel like man on three spots. I'm worried plenty"
 But the experts say your army team may be the greatest"
 ''It's not the greatest of any thing. Mind you I'm not complain ing. We have an excellent group of backs; but have you seen our line? It's a green, inexperienced, make-shift line. We were so short of line material, had to change backs into linesmen. Fellows like McCorkle at guard and Stanowicz at tackle never played the line be- fore. This line doesn't begin to com pare with some we've had at the point"
 ~Are you relieved to learn that Angelo Bertelli will have left Notre Dame and gone to the Marines, before Notre Dame plays Army?"
 Not the least relieved. That Notre Dame squad is so strong and deep, 1t could lose anybody but Leahy and still be the same. Bertelli goes-and who moves in? Nobody but Lujack, who can thread a needle with his passes. I'm not complaining. now but said feel like a man on three spots, and mean it."

Montgomery
 Stops ScoIzo In 6

Philadelphia, Oct. 26 - (U.P.) - Lightweight Champion Bob Mont gomery of Philadelphia, pointed to- day for his title fight in New York with Beau Jack on Novmber 19, having disposed of Petey Scalzo, former featherweight champion of New York, here last night with a sixth round technical knockout.
 Montgomery displayed power that indicated he had recovered fully from an impacted wisdom tooth that twice forced cancellation of the Jack bout, by flooring scalzo three times. The Philadelphia Negro pounded Scalzo to the canvas for nine count in the third and fifth rounds and an eight count as the bell ended the fifth session.
 The New Yorker, weighing 13s IA @ pound more than Montgomery, suffered Q deep scalp wound in the second round when the fighters but ted heads. Blinded by the flow of blood, he proved an easy target for the sharpshooting Negro's body at- tack and long rights to the head.
 With the wound bleeding freely in the last session and Scalzo in an apparently helpless condition, Re- fierce 1rv Kutcher stopped the bout.

Boxer KO'd Twice In First Round

Philadelphia, Oct. 26 - (U.P.) = Lightweight Don Macs of Denver, Colo, today rued the results of a quick temper.
 The victim of a first round tech- nical knockout at the hands of Ellis Phillips, Philadelphia, in a pre- liminary bout to the Montgomery Scalzo fight here last night, Macs joined the crowd in denouncing the referees decision. Tn fact he pro- tested so vigorously in the dressing room that the two fighters held an impromptu session of their own. Separated by offlcials, the boys agreed to go back for another six rounds, the winner of the second fight to gain the victor's purse. Noes down for a count of nine in the first round. When he arose, Phillips gave him a push and Macs wound up in a sports writer's lap at the ringside-the victim of two first round TKO's in the same even- ing.

Tn 1919 at wisconsin, the Badgers dominated play throughout, staged long, grinding marches to within the shadows of the Ohio State goal posts. The Buckeyes would hold for downs. Charles w. Harley, the greatest all-around halfback pr. John w. Wilce has known in 70 years of contact with football and 20 years of active cocahing, would kick out of danger and Wisconsin would march again.
 Finally, in the last six minutes of play, will-o-the-wisp Chic Har- ley broke loose from the Ohio State 20, ran to Wisconsin's 30.
 On the next play, Harley passed to Pete Stinchcornb, who crossed the Badgers goal line. Offlcials ruled that Harley was less than five yards behind the line of scrimmage when he passed, however, so the play was called baeksand Ohio State penalized five.
 On the next play, Harley cut back through tackle and dodged his way 35 yards and across Wis consin's goal line. Again the play was called back and Ohio State penalized five for being outside.
 On the next play, Harley dropped back to Ohio States 47 and calmly dropkicked the Buckeyes to a 90 victory.
 CHIC STRUNG OUT TACKLERs
 Tn three years at Columbus East and three more at Ohio State, Har- ley appeared in just two losing games-the final of both his high school and college careers.
 Tn 1916 and IT this almost un- belieavable player sparked Ohio State to its first Western Confer ence championships. He was in the Army Air Corps in '18.
 Harley, five feet eight and weigh ing from 157 to 163 pounds, aimed to string out his field of tacklers so he could meet them one by one. No single tackler ever brought him down in the open.

NEW HAVEN'S ANNEX HERE VS.
 BRIDGEPORTERS

The colorful New Haven Annex, unbeaten and united in state serni- pro grid circles, showing one of the classiest backfields of the season sparked by the colored star, "slingin sammy" Cannady, will return to Hamilton park next Sunday after noon to meet the crack Bridgeport Athletics in another state charl- pionship elimination contest. The affair will be played for the bene- fit of the Sacred Heart high school athletic association of which Rev. John Dial is the head. William J. Derwin is in charge of arrange mer1ts.
 The Annex, coached by George Sonny" Coughlin, former Provi- dence college lineman, put on a sen- sational last period rally here Sun. day afternoon to give George AL lens Naugatuck Rangers their first setback of the season, score 10 to 6. The Annex, although compelled to play professional rules, turned in a splendid exhibition and gained for themselves warm spot in the hearts of local fans who turned out in great numbers.
 Improved
 The New Haveners will show the same star-studded cast which stopped the Naugatuck club Sunday and will be further augmented by the return to the fold of Johnny DeFrank, running guard, former all- state at H!llhouse in 1888.
 The Bridgeport club gained state- wide prominence Sunday by upset- ting the powerful Norwalk Laurels 12 to 0 in the standout tilt in the shore-line section.
 Several hundred additional bleach- CT seats will be erected at Hamilton park during the week to accommo- date another large turnout. Last Sundays crowd at the Annex -Nau- gatuck clash was so large that it overflowed the bleachers. A special sale of student tickets will be held at Sacred Heart parochial school starting tomorrow.

Stagg Suggests RepIay Of Q. s. C. Grid Come
Will-O'- '-the-Wisp Chic Harley Even Used Field Judge As Interference

Dr. Jack Wilce, who coached him, recalls how Harley's Judgment in running after 0 threat of pass forced defensive delay and resulted in remarkable touchdown runs against Illinois in 1916 and North western in IT.
 "FIis speed and chance of pace were unsurpassed" says Dr. Wilce, land in the Northwestern run he even used the running field judge as interference part of the way"
 Tn 1916 Illinois led, GO, in the closing minutes. On a rain-soaked field in a driving rain, Harley broke loose for his touchdown run. Then, with the game and Big Ten title at stake and following the kick out, he called for time while he sent for dry kicking shoe, spectacularly changed shoes and kicked the point which won for Ohio State, 7-6.
 BEST AGAINST MICHIGAN
 Other Harley thrillers remem- bered by Dr. Wilce are two won- derful punt returns that beat Wis consin in 1916. but the famous coach considers his straight slant off tackle run through four tacklers for 40 yards and Ohio States first victory over Michigan in 1919 as the fabulous and tragic horrle- grown's greatest individual play.
 "Chic was a clean living, modest personality with a fascinating smile which endeared him to thousands" |" relates pr. Wilce. "TIe had beavti- ful steel trap muscles, was an in- stinctive player in the sense that nearly all top stars have superior natural endowment of reaction, time, speed, strength, endurance and intelligence or what is called football sense. He had the knack.
 "Chic's defensive ability matched what he had on offense. He was a grand competitor, sparked teams simply by the confidence his presence gave teammates. His standout achievements came in running from a quadruple threat punt formation with forward pass notifications which made a run or pass optional.
 "Our great sorrow is that Chic had a mental breakdown two years following his truly phenomenal col- lege career. To the multitude of fans who loved him he will always be the greatest player in Ohio State history"
 Ohio State men are not alone in calling Harley the daddy of them all.
 You only had to see Chic Har- ley to recognize his genius, and certainly he was among the most spectacular players of the game.

with the last one, practically hand ing the ball to Anderson in the end zone while on the run.
 He catches passes, kicks, holds the ball for kickoffs and place kicks. He no doubt can cook, too.
 This was not a bad Colgate team, either, and watching Army's fourth string showing 1t around, George McCabe of the Columbia staff pointed to No. II, the right end who was six-foot three-inch, l95- pound Archibald Arnold.
 "He must have come out of the trees" commented McCabe.
 Some remarked that Army lacked a big plunging back. Just then Bud Troxell bucked the ball for a touch- down. He's on the second team.
 Red Blaik must keep track of them with a card index system.

By HARRY CRIMSON NEA SPORTS EDITOR

New York, Oct. 25.-Jack Rourke has coached track at Colgate for 35 years, and Army's backs are the fastest he has seen in that stretch.
 They reminded Rourke of a sprint relay team. Several of them, includ- ing the phenomenal plebe, Glenn Davis, and his classmate, Johnny Minor of the reserves, are sprinters
 Cadet ball-toters ran by Clem Furey, left end, and other Red Raiders of good speed. And Furey did 48:7 in the Eastern Collegiates.
 Davis, not yet l9, started the sea- son as replacement. for Doug Kenna. No one will get him out of there, for he has turned Army into @ high-rolling varsity.
 Even It. Col. Earl Blaik, slow to praise an individual, admits he is the difference.
 Davis, a good looking, personable chap standing no more than five feet nine ad weighing ITO pounds, was considered by many the finest back ever to play southern Cali fornia high school football. And they've turned good ones out in droves out there. Davis swept little Bonita High of LaVerne to the Southern California schoolboy championship, was headed for the University of Southern California until Pearl Harbor.
 Davis is triple threat with the poise of veteran. An all-around man, he plays baseball well, which is the mark of the true athlete. He has taken command at West Point, the older players railing around an instinctive performer.
 Young Davis is a stand-up-and- and-cheer football player who does naturally what coaches try to teach others. On an end run, for example, he feints the end into committing himself to the blocker and swings around him or vice versa. He can turn on blazing speed at will. He Is tiat-to0ted when he turns which gives him balance and enables him to turn sharply and with drive.
 Davis figured in all four touch- downs made by the first string as Army lathered Colgate, 42-0, while pulling its punches.
 It was the worst licking ever dealt a stub drilled by little Andy Kerr. who. like all the rest, rubbed his eyes when he saw Davis and the other West Point backs who have picked up in keeping pace with him.

 New York, Oct. 26-(UP)-Of the thousands interested in Saturdays s two super.duper football games Army vs. Pennsylvania at Philadel- phia and Navy vs. Notre Dame at Cleveland-Earl Henry Blaik is the only person with four-way worries.
 Blaik is coach of the Army team that tackles Pennsylvania and Notre Dame on consecutive Saturdays and Navy, Nov. 27. Naturally he has had his three prospective opponents secuted. He is one guy who should know what it's all about.
 To muscle in on this knowledge, we telephoned West Point today and talked to Blaik, who is farniliarly known as Red" The conversation follows:
 Two great games Saturday, Red -eh?"
 "Yes, if we get good weather"
 What do you think of Notre Dame and Navy"
 TWO fine teams-1lne teamsl The best either school has had in years. Both have superior reserves-great depth. Notre Dame has great scor- ing punch on the ground or in the air. Both have good lines, and Nays lot tougher than its scores have indicated. No, I can't make any prediction; but it'll be a whale of @ game-a tight game in which anything can happen"
 What about Pennsylvania"
 Superior Line
 "Penn's about normal. And when I say normal, I mean awfully good good enough to beat Army last year, 19 to o. It was a superior line and some fine backs in Odell, Kane and Michaels. That Odel is

RIVAL COACH AGREES BUT
 A. M. DOES NOT
BY LIsLE sHOEAsAKRR

united Press Staff C0EEeSp0nN9H*
 Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 20--(U Despite opposition from other ilnIs versity of Southern California oklis cialS, Jeff Crarath, head football coach, today reiterated his willinE- lless to replay Saturdays controyete sial game with Alonz0 StagR's col lege of the Pacific.
 Stagg, 0. o P.'s e2-year-old coach suggested yesterday that the game, which USC won 6-0 after pacikio had had a touchdown play recalled and @ penalty for clipping invoked. be replayed if Southern Califofnia agreed that the penalty was not jus tified.
 Cravath replied as soon as he TO- ceived the announcement that sl1e would be pleased to play . reEnatch with College of Pacific on any prac- tical date"
 Arnold Eddy, UsCs athletic man ager, didn't share Cravath's eKtlu> siasrn for a return engagement. Ho said the request didn't sound like Stagg."
 Tn his 54 years of collegiate foot ball coaching, I never heard of Stagg questioning an official deci- siol in a game. I can't believe he has been quoted correctly Eddy said.
 As matter of fact, stagg did not question the officials decision that spoiled his teams perfect record
 SnOrtsmanshin
 He said he did not see the Qaes. tloned play, which occurred in the second quarter, because his players on the bench jumped to their feet in their enthusiast and blocked his view. He said that if USC agreed that it had won on Q faulty decision that 1t could perform coEnmend- able act of sportsmanship by asking for a reinatch.
 "The boys all thought the touch down was good" Stagg commented. Naturally they were greatly put out wben the officials called 1t back. Many of the fans also were in dis7, approval. I never heard such booing in my life, and it continued for . long while."
 The disputed play was e 35-yard pass from Johnny Podesto to quart erback Joe F'eren. Officials ruled that end Jack Hurley clipped USC's safety man, Mickey McCardie, on the play.
 Pictures of the play failed to clar- ify the argument, none having caught on film
 At San Francisco, Stagg said tho loss twas as tough as losing the Chicago Princeton game back in 1922"
 Stagg, who moved to the top in coaching ranks while at the univer- sity of Chicago, recalled that Princeton won that game, 2l-is. The. contest ended with Chicago on the one yard line and the fans going wild.
 "But the crowd then was nothing to compare with the USC crowdw. he said. 'The loss is all in the run of the game. It hasn't disturbed me much but I feel particularly sorry for the boys who were so determin- ed to win"
 Stagg said several of his players shed tears in the dressing room after Saturdays game, the winner of which was regarded as Q surD- fire bet to represent the West Coast in the Rose Bowl.
