NEW YORK, Oct. 1870 that

college football teams are using
it now. At least there doesn't ap-

this corner missing IL of last

Football Giants says the ball in
use now must be made of the
hide of a creased pig turned loose
at an Oklahoma County fair"
Last weeks 1924 average lifted

Here are this weeks picks:
Army VS.. Harvard: There's moth

Oklahoma VS.. Kansas State:
After three strenuous non-confer-

Southern Methodist VS.. Rice: A

But this time the Mustangs are
determined to go all the way.
Southern Methodist.
Kentucky VS.. Viilanova-Ken-
lucky has been scored on only
once this season. Its offense also
is one of the best. Kentucky.
Notre Dame VS.. Indiana-The
odd-makers rate the Irish as seven
points better than Indiana. Why
start an argument? Notre Dame.
Ohio State VS.. Minnesota-One
of these days that Minnesota

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 49,
Jimmy Dykes is proud of being
selected to succeed Connie Mack
as manager of the Athletics, but
he's realistic enough to know a
tremendous rebuilding job has
been tossed into his lap.
To say Dykes was starting from
scratch would be an understate-
ment. The rotund smoker of big
black cigars inherits a ball club
that finished last in the American
League this year, At games be-
hind the first-place Yankees.
But Jimmy isn't wearing a
harried look yet. After the ex-
citement of his being selected tc
succeed the retired 87-year-olo
Mack had died down, he took
stock of his ball club.
"This team isn't as bad as its
record" Dykes said. They finished
so far behind because they loafed
And, believe me, there won't be
any loafng in 1851. The AS will
hustle from spring training to the
end of the season. That, promise
you"

ber, announced his retirement al
a luncheon for sports writer's anc
radio men yesterday. The move
had been rumored for some time
but his decision came as surprise
to many. Recently, his sons, Earle
and Roy-who recently bought
controlling interest in the club
said their father would remain
as manager as long as he wished

emotion, Mack told the sport
writer's, II am sorry I could no

thanks, too, to the Philadelphia
public for their fine support"
He added that he plans to make
some trips with the team mex
season.
II told Jimmy Dykes" he said
I'D sit on the bench next year
But now I've decided not even tt
do that. I'll travel with the team
some, but I'll watch the game:

Dick Haesler. and in commemora-

Maryland last week with several

Hoya touchdoWns on a pass from
Frank Mattingly.
Helping him out will be Jack
O'Mahoney. O'Mahoney was
scheduled for action last week
but Bugs was doing so well that
O'Mahoney never got into the
game. Thompson will be used on
defense this week also, so will be
given an occasional rest from ball

among the group of sophomore
backs now gaining the experience

Georgetown tougher as the season
progresses.
