Terps Drive Hard, Rate W. &M.
Better Than NC. and Richmond

The Tommy Mont club, Mary
lands big team, scrimmaged Temple
for three hours last Saturday in
Philadelphia as both the Terps and
Owls took advantage of an open
date. Shaughnessy did not take
the Vic Turyn outfit that probably
will start against William and Mary.
The Maryland coach insists he will
stick to the two-team system for
the remainder of the season.
Paul Massey, a 168-pound right
talfback who played under Shaugh-
messy at Pitt, has been named to
succeed the injured Sammy Behr on
Turyn's team. One change on the
Mont club finds Bernie Sniscak re-
placing Vernon Siebert at right
halfback. Another change may be
necessary as Joe Pokorny wrenched
his back yesterday and may not be
available.
If Turyn's club starts as expected
Massey will be the only player in
the lineup who did not play against
William and Mary last year when
the Indians won, 1914, at College
Park, after trailing 14-6 shortly
after the start of the second half
The game will be only the third
of the series, Maryland winning
ITO, in 1905. The teams are not

Herman Keiser, the Masters
champion and winner of the last
two tournaments on the PGA
tour, offers a solution to the
problem of dtsgruntled sponsors
of the $4,000 open golf tourna-
ments. The Akron pro suggests
that at least two of the four or
five biggest-name stars of the
moment should be promised to
each tournament.
OF the 40-odd 1916 tourna-
ments, Keiser has missed only
four, but he doubts if he could
stand the grind another year.
He will not compete in the next
one, at Pinehurst, as it Is not a
PGA-sponsored event, but he
intends to pick up the remainder
of the 1916 tournaments at At
lanta, Orlando and Miami.
"If Snead, Hogan, Nelson and
Mangrum are the big names OF
this time, Keiser said, modestly
omitting himself, "any sponsor
should be satisfied with. two of
them, and usually three or all
four will play. The trouble is
that at few of the recent events
none of them showed UP and
that's when the sponsors were
mad"

the Johnnies a slight edge.

Richmond and North Carolina,
two Southern Conference rivals who
rolled up total of 10 points against
Maryland, do not belong on the
same field with William and Mary,
in the opinion of the Maryland
coaching staff.
That's the reason the Terps have
been working two daylight hours
and an extra hour under the lights
of Byrd Stadium for the past sew
eral days. They have a Saturday
afternoon date with the Indians IN
Williamsburg and to date the Vir-
ginians have been improving each

Woods, Herman Ball, Edgar Manske,
Fausto Rubini and Wayne Millner-

hours yesterday, mostly against
Rubinis "B" team which was using
William and Mary plays.
Shaughnessy promised a great
improvement in the Maryland squad,
but if he beats the Indians on Sat-
urday he will have one of the major
form reversals of the conference
season to his credit-including Rich

Ringing on Speed Of
Big Nine Approval
BY the kssoeio.ed Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30.-Foot-
ball observers here, generally taking
for ganted Pacific Coast-Big Nine
Rose Bowl tieup. speculated on one
major topic today:
Can such a pact be signed and
sealed in time for the first game
next New Year Day, or will the
battle have to wait until 1913?
One faction insisted it could, II
the Big Nine accelerated its ma
chinery for gaining approval OF the
proposal-which apparently origi-
mated unofhcially among certain
members in the conference.
The proposal then must be ap-
proved by the Coast Conference
Speaking off the record, one official
high in both conference and inter-
collegiate circles predicted faculty
heads would sanction it in general.
Early Action Expected.
One point was agreed: Official
action one way or the other must
be taken by the second or third
week in November, else the Coast
Conference might find itself out on
limb in signing an outstanding
team from other regions not al
ready snapped up by rival bowls.
Special meetings, or perhaps tele-
graphic polls. may be necessary
The Coast Conference meeting is
not scheduled until December 9,
the Big Nine, December IA. And
If things out here continue according
to form, the Far Vests Rose Bowl
contender should be decided when
undefeated University of California
at Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia, beaten twice-once in con-
ference play-meet November 23.

pionship is far from settled, North
western is the current leader. but
Ohio State, its opponent Saturday
and Illinois, Iowa and Michigan
are very much In the running.
Illinois and Iowa also meet Satur-
day, narrowing the title race down
considerably.
Irish Ban Indicated.
Whether the Big Mines lowering
of the bars against postseason
games would lead to similar action
by Notre Dame remains in doubt,
although at South Bend yesterday
Father John J. Cavanaugh, c. s. c.,
president of the school, indicated 1t
would continue to disapprove OF
such games.
Father Cavanaugh expressed that
opinion when informed of predic-
ton that the Irish would receive and
accept a bid to the Sugar Bowl this
season. He said Notre Dame "is
not disposed" to change its policy
on postseason games, which for
many years has been against such
contests.
Rose Bowl fans have long enjoyed
Southern teams. hoped for Notre
Dame, relished the idea Of a Mich
igan or q Minnesota, and this year
would burst the Rose Bowl at the
seams If Army would come out. In
the latter case, fans and most critics
would be more than willing to hold
off a year on a Big Nine pact If
there was a chance of getting Army
