Redskin BaII-Totinq
Chores Well Divided
Among Five Backs

Ball-carrying chores are fairly
evenly divided among Redskin
backs, a look at the record revealed
today. Most clubs rely on one or
two outstanding backs to lug the
leather, but the Redskins have no
less than five working for them.
Jim Castiglia, who has given way
to the greater speed and kicking
ability of Dick Poillon, tops the
list with 200 yards on IS trips with
the ball. Uncle Jim carried the ball
more than the officials in the early
games and did all right, as the fig
ures show. But Coach Turk Ed
wards thinks he would have done
better If he had gone to training
camp with the rest Of the squad.
Poillon has 165 yards on At at
tempts. but is neck and neck with
Tom Farmer, Dick Todd and Ed
Quirk, all Of whom have carried
the pigskin AZ times. Todd's aver
age Of 3.88 tops them all. LII Ole
Boy picked up 1853 yards through
the enemy, while Farmer has 157
and Quirk 155. It's such a remark
able division of back-field work you
might suspect the boys Of carrying
union cards.
In the pass-catching department.
Hal Crisler's % receptions for 344
yards and four touchdowns is a
performance that makes you won-
der how or why Boston let him go.
Peculiarly, Bones Taylor, who
started of last year by snagging
three touchdown throws from Sam
my Baugh in the Philadelphia game
has caught only one pass all season.
Todd again Is second, having
caught 19 aerials for 321 yards. Bob
Nussbaumer ranks third with IA
catches for 1877 yards. Everybody
gets into Baugh's passing act, with
no less than IA individuals catching
at least one throw from the old gent.
The Tribe will need all its often
sive power against Detroit, even
though Bo McMillin doesn't seem
to have much in his first year as
Lion tanner. Detroit has Bill Dudley.
a personal nemesis for the Skins;
Camp Wilson, the clubs leading
gound-gainer with 289 yards, and
Fred Enke. another smart, fast back.
The trio could make the afternoon
very unpleasant for the home team.

Scouts Rote Vanderbilt Best
Team Below Muson-Dixon Line

here, with no pennsylvania to
handle.
There is genuine concern felt for
vast Herman Hickman, the Tennes-
see troubadour, who must send his
depleted bulldog forces against
Princeton this week end.
Yale Coach Clicks.
Every one knew, last fall, that
Princeton had a world of stuff. But
most Of it was young and untried
under fire. Charley Caldwell had
to dig out his team. He lost three
games and finally found the combi-
nation-as Virginia and Harvard
have discovered. Now Princeton can
move into second place in Ivy
League ratings by beating Yale ana
Dartmouth.
Wearers Of the Blue shudder at
the thought OF meeting the Orange
and Black. Against Harvard they
have good chance. But the Tiger
suddenly has developed man-eating
qualities. Princeton can run, pass
and defend against passes.
Hickman at Yale has no speed
Jackson needs a 10-yard start to be
effective. Nadherny is strong run
ner, but a slow starter The Yale
line Is below par-spirited and earn
est, but rather fragile.
Spirit today rarely decides any
thing, since the other side is too
often just as spirited. Students
minus spirit rarely play football.
Courage belongs to most of them.
but there is no monopoly on
courage.
Minus the needed material. it will
be interesting to see what Hickman
can bring to Yale that will give
Eli even an outside chance The
press has rated Hickman high as
a coach handling inferior material.
His victories over Brown and Wis
consin were near miracles. The
material was never there.

Hoyas Drilling Hard
To Beat ViIIanova,
Boost Prestige

Georgetown'S football team faces
its toughest assignment since Octo-
Der 2 against Villanova in Phila-
delphia's Shibe Park tomorrow night.
Not since their losing efforts in
early season games. against Holy
Cross and Boston College have the
Hoyas faced a foe Of villanova's s
caliber and they want nightly to
take this one-also the George
Washington game the following
week-to boost their football stock
The Wildcats will be tough to cage,
but Hilltop coaches figure 1t can be
done and they have worked their
Hoyas hard all week. Scrimmages,
long and rigorous ones, have been
the order of the day since Monday
and it appears that the Hoyas are
ready to chew Wildcat meat, raw.
Much OF the emphasis has been on
defenses designed to. stop Johnny
Geppi, a sophomore speed demon
and solid plunger, and Bill Doherty,
155-pound passing quarterback.
Last week against Kentucky Doherty
tossed touchdown aerials to Ends Ed
Berrang and Frank Kane.
Villanova and Kentucky played to
a 1913 tie last week, but according
to Georgetown scouts the game
should have been Villanova's.
Georgetown also has put plenty
of work into its own offenses, still
seeking to find a consistently good
passer and more variety to its run
ming game. Billy Conn, sophomore
running flash, hasn't taken part In
the scrimmages for fear of reinjur-
ing his leg which kept him benched
against N. Y. U. last week. but the
dope Is that he'll be used against
Villanova. Tackle Tom Dolan also
hasn't taken part in the head
banging sessions, but he also figures
to be in action tomorrow night.
The Hoyas will leave by special
train tomorrow afternoon,

PimIico Feature
BY the Associotsd Press

BALTIMORE. Nov. II. - With
Greentree Stables Capot through
for the year, there was rush of
16 2-year-olds for the $4,000 Wal
den Stakes at Pimlico today.
Capot showed himself best of the
freshman horse crop racing in
Maryland by winning the Pimlico
Futurity last Saturday and setting
new track record the week before.
Trainer John Gaver decided that
finished the colts racing for this
year.
The decision gives c. Mahlon

big chance. Slam Bang trailed
Capot in both Pimlico races.

The pros are playing a different
kind of basket ball nowadays and
the old timers, who fiexed their
muscles when defense was more
important than ofense, are getting
kick out of it.
The Caps, who invade Baltimore
tonight looking for their fifth
straight win of the new season in
the Basket Ball Association of Amer
ica, are typical of the modern game
which some of the old-timers used
to say isn't basket ball. Teams to-
day only score, it was claimed, and
they wondered what any of these
modern teams could do against a
team like the Original New York
Celtics.
The Caps whipped the Rochester
Royals, 1856. last night at Uline
Arena and watching the proceedings
was Elmer Ripley, Georgetown Uni
versity basket ball coach, former
court mentor at Columbia and Notre
Dame.
The game is far different from
that, when I was with the Celtics,
said Ripley. ITS hard to tell just
what would happen If the Celtics
could meet the Caps. We played
short passes and stressed defense.
Styles change. It's just like foot
ball. It's hard to tell just, what
the football stars Of old would do
if they had to play in a game today.
Ripley Students Star.
IT come here TO see the Caps
every chance I get. I like to see
them play and I get a kick out of
seeing some of the boys I've
coached"
The BBA has quite few former
Ripley students. There's Buddy
EO'Grady of Georgetown, now play
ing with st. Louis; Leo Killer,
coached by Ripley at Notre Dame
and now playing with Fort Wayne;
Walter Budko, coached by Ripley
at Columbia and now with Balti-
more, and Andy Kostecka and
Danny Kraus, both recently of
Georgetown Kostecka now plays
with Indianapolis and Kraus with
Baltimore.
This game the pros play is a
good game" says Ripley. They be-
lieve in scoring and you have to
score to win. These fellows are older
and more experienced than the col
lege boys. They are better shots
The college boys ran more, but then
the pros know more about where to
run. I like this league. It's a good

Lee Nalley of Vanderbilt is we'll on
his way to setting a new all-time
college football record for returning
punts.
= The National Collegiate Athletic
Bureau reported today that Nalley
has run back 81 punts for 557 yards
IN seven games. Only two players
in history have returned punts for
more yards in a full season. And
Nalley has four games left to play.
Bill Geyer of Colgate set the all
time record of GIG yards in 194l,
The second best total is 58S yards
by Bosh Pritchard. now of the pro-
fessional Philadelphia Eagles. He
set it in 1899 at Virginia Military
Institute.
The Vanderbilt team uses set
blocking assignments on punt run
backs and Nalley is the key man.
He has returned all but four of the
kicks made against the Commodores.
Other statistics released today by
the Moab we're for runbacks Of
kickoffs, pass receiving and inter-
ceptions and punting.
Deacons' Gregus Stars.
Bill Gregus of Wake Forest is
tops in kickoff returns. He's brought

man of the University of Portland
is second with 1856 yards.
Bill Boston of Montana State has
the best punting average-45.3 yards
but the second and fourth place
men are the ones with chance to

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-There Is
little question now about the top
ranking of Michigan, Notre Dame
and Army. After this trio you can
place California, North Carolina,

Oklahoma, Northwestern and Ore

Two able scouts rate Vanderbilt
today the best team south of the

The Tennessee game in few weeks
will prove Vanderbilt's place.
The fact is that the South, the
Southwest and the Midwest have

not up to early notices. Their press

astic. 1t took Doak Walker-a one

ference are none too strong. They
are not In the same circle with Army,

who came East with the team last
week. Yet Army could have beaten

Scribe Likes Vanderbilt.
North Carolina, Georgia Tech and
Georgia have been good, but not
outstanding. One veteran Southern
observer believes that Vanderbilt Is
a much better outfit today than
any of the three mentioned. Ten
nessee was as good as North Caro-
lima and better than Georgia Tech
Also, there is a general feeling that
Georgia will beat Tech.
Oddly enough. Oklahoma opened
It's season by losing to Santa Clara,
20 to II. The Sooners have lost
nothing since.

Bob Higgins of Penn State be-
lieves his Nittany Lions could take
any team from the South or the

mean to furnish funds and offer many of our war veteran Elks as Scout leaders and committeeman.
 "The 68,000 Boy Scout troops for nearly two million Scout mem- bers are not enough. We have seen militant minorities working for some revolution or other; why not the militant minority of Scout trained citizens sponsored by Elks who stand for our best institutions and traditions?"
 MT. Lewis quoted with pride the figures of Admiral Chester Nimitz that 40 per cent of his men had been Boy Scouts and that 60 per cent of his decorated heroes had been Scouts.
 The new Elks' chieftain has ar ranged itineraries totaling l50,000 miles of travel to subordinate lodges this year. On his visita- tions he plans to pledge more vlg- orously than ever the Elks' cam paign against internal enemies of America. The particular targets of the Elks are the Ku Klux Klan, Communism, Fascism and other subversive elements.
 In it's 79-year history the B.POE. has donated to worthy causes more than S72,000,000, reaching a total of S5,000,0o) dur ing the past year alone in addi- ton to other sums given by local lodges. Lewis expects basic con- tributions this year will total more than S12,000, 1000.
