Navy Sees Better Eleven Than in 1931 : Quantrille Wins D. C. Horseshoe Crown
OUTLOOK PLEASING
TO COACH MILLER
Material, Though, Is None
Too Experienced and Sched
ule Very Difficult.
BY H. C. BYRD.
, -w -*r yELL, we ought to show
\ Λ / some improvement over
y Y last year."
In this way. Coach Rip
Miller voiced his opinion of prospects
for the foot ball team this year at the j
Naval Academy.
And inasmuch as the Middies had a
dri\ing, fighting outfit that played with
credit to itself throughout the entire
1931 season. Miller's statement may
veil be taken as ail indication that
Navy should be one of the really good
teams of the East,
Last season Miller succeeded Bill
Ingram, now at California, as head
coach, and Navy people were very well
satisfied with what he accomplished.
The biggest achievements of the team
were victories over . Princeton and
Pennsylvania. Navy lost to Army, it is j
true, in that charity contest at New :
York, and under ordinary circumstances |
that would be sufHcient to blacken a
Navy season. However, the Army game
was informal and its result does not !
»ppear in the record of either school.
THE 1931 season was looked upon
somewhat as a transitory period in
Navy loot ball, a considerable shift
having been made from the offense used j
by Ingram to that Installed by Miller. |
Tlie present coach is a product of Notre
Dame and naturally used that style of !
play. That Miller himself is willing to
predict that the team now in training
should show considerable improvement
over last year should be cause for op
timism at Annapolis.
"Of course, it is too early to tell what
kind of a team we shall have," says
Miller, "but, unless I am badly fooled,
we ought to turn out a much stronger
one than we had last year. That may
be going just a little further than I
should, as our squad, while big and
ttrong. is green and without the experi
ence necessary to make a really fine
eleven. The men are willing, though,
and it may be they can come through j
even belter than any of us expect.
"One thing in our favor is that at :
the academy we have almost ideal con- ;
dltions under which to work. And the j
Naval Academy authorities are very co
operative. In fact, if you are going to
write a story about us. it would be only
giving credit where credit is due if you
would just mention that the people
down here look upon athletics as part
of the educational system and encouragi
athletics as such. Of course, they do
not lose sight of the fundamental pur- |
pose lov which the academy Is estab
lished, but actually try to build up ath- j
letics is a way to help serve that pur- j
Pose· ,, .
Wt* Jiave et nu: U ÙV-IICUUiC, 1/liC |
certainly is just as hard as we ought \
to play. We are hoping to show well
In it. but, while a coach may know he
should have a stronger team than 1he
year before, no coach can tell what the
results of games are going to be. Ws
believe we should have a tetter team
than last year, that we ought to play
good foot ball, but beyond that your
guess as to prospects for a winning ;
team would be just as good as mine."
NAVY lost several valuable men, in
cluding Tuttle. a center: Tschirgi
and Kirn, halfbacks: but the loss ,
of a few players at Annapolis hardly
means so much as at other schools be- ;
cause of the /nu:h larger squad, in
which most of the men are nearly of
the same caliber. Bill Ingram once
made the statement that it did not
matter much at Navy if a whole team
graduated, as men were constantly '
coming along to take their places.—
William and Mary visits Annapolis
October 1 to open Navy's season. The
Indians had the same place on the
Middies' schedule in 1931, and were
beaten by two touchdowns to one, with
virtually a second string team playing
most of the game for Navy. The second
contest is with Washington and Lee at
Annapolis, which team was not met last.
season. Then comes Ohio University at
Annapolis on October 15.
The following week Navy makes its
first trip away, to play Princeton.
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia is the
next epponent, and following it Colum
bia is to be entertained at Annapolis.
Maryland follows Columbia, the game
to be played in Baltimore November 12,
while the last two games, November 19
and December 3. are with Notre Dame
and Army. Notre Dame is to be played
at Cleveland and Army at Philadelphia.
GREATEST interest, of course, will be
centered in the Army game. Is is
the first contest regularly schedul
ed since the break, those that have been
played in the meantime having no sig
nificance a& far as scores are concerned.
That is, the scores of the charity games
do not appear in the records of games
played between the two schools, and the
resumption of relationships this Fall
should be marked by an intensity of
Interest not show'n in several years.
The Midshipmen, since their break
with West Point, have not had any
other game with which to wind up their
season in which interest anywhere ap
proaching that in the West Point con
test has been shown.
Navy has not won a game from Army
In some years, and with the game re
sumed this Fall, and prospects for a
much better team at Annapolis, Coach
Miller has a golden opportunity to win
for himself a place in the Navy foot
ball sun.
Foot Ball Tips
BT JOE GLASS.
ONE application of foot be Π strat
egy 1* to use a play repeatedly
in one way and then suddenly
vary it. The Notre Dame system en
ables the utmost perfection of this
element of surprise ' because of the
tremendous, co-ordinated speed of
the attack developed by Rockne and
continued by Anderson.
Take the following play, which
was Marchmont Schwartz's greatest
ground-gainer last year, and which
may be even more effective this sea
son with Mike Koken carrying the
ball.
No. 4, receiving the ball, fakes '
between the enemy left guard and
tackle, an effect heightened by the
way In which No. 6 blocks in the
left guard and Noe. 5 and 7 box In
ι - THEM SENT SCHWART2T- J
"THROUGH LIME FOW. - . I
1 "TOUCHDOWN " I
the left tackle. However, No. 4
breaks to the right around end, with
No. 1 blocking the enemy left end.
No. 3 cuts over to help No. 1, if
necessary, or to join No. 2 in pro
viding interference.
As described, this play is a great
ground-gainer. When, after awhile,
the variation is introduced, it is apt
to prove disastrous for the opposi
tion, as it was in Notre Dame's great
7-6 victory over Army two years ago.
Instead of veering toward the right,
Schwartz dashed through the open
ing between guard and tackle (as
shewn by the dotted line in the dia
gram) and ran 55 yards to a touch
down. The effective blocking and
boxing of Ncs. 5, 6 and 7. and the
end feint of Nos. 1. 2 and 3, which
drew the left side of Army's second
ary defense out of position, permit
ted this. But the real factcr of suc
cess was the canniness of the Notre
Dame quarterback, Carideo, who
deduced from the actions of the
Army secondary defense men they
were expecting another run around
end. and caught them flat-footed cn
a muddy, slippery field.

Grid Umpire Wise to Figure
Intent in Invoking Hand Ride
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.
NEW YORK. September 16—One
Western coarh, when he ad
dressed his varsity squad,
assembled for the first time
yesterday, spoke pretty definitely about
the use of hands on defense.
"Go ahead," he said In substance,
"and use your hands any way that will
enable you to get through or fend off
a blocker. Only—be sure that you do
not deal punishing blows."
At least this is almost exactly what
he said ii he lived up to his intentions
as outlined to the writer a few days ago.
This matter of laying on of hands,
especially by defensive lmemen. may or
may not prove to be a very troublesome
one to the officials. It will depend upon
their attitude and In large measure, of
course, it will depend upon the coach
ing of the forwards.
YOU cannot get any unanimity of
opinion among coaches and officials
about this new rule. But you do
get a majority who believe the game
will do very well if officials consistently
exercise judgment about hand action.
Mow any official who is minded rigid
ly to enforce the new rule will give any
defense a lot cf trouble. He has the
power end the legal backing to require
a lineman to go Into his defensive
charge with arms stretched out in front,
palms outward like a blind man buff.
He may not draw back the arms even
an inch and then piston outward. The
lineman, of course, will do this. He
cannot help·it. Even in complying with
the rule which permits the palms of the
hands to be used in warding off or
pushing, there will have to be some
piston movement. What will the um
pire do about it?
ON the other hand the defending
lineman can bring his hands down
good and hwd upcn the back or
shoulders of an opponent either to
shunt him off in his charge or force
him to the ground.
It will be the umpire's duty to de
termine whether a lineman is pistoning
his hands and. if he is a wise umpire.
[ he will probably use his judgment as to
j whether this pistoning was intended to
i be punishing or merely a natural reflex.
If he is not wise he will do a lot of
gumming up or any game in which
; he happens to be an official. If officials
J chiefly concern themselves with ten
, dencies to strike with hands, they will
probably keep a game moving to the
satisfaction at the spectators.

GREAI BACKFIELD
SEEN Aï STANFORD
Warner's Ball Carriers All
Triple Threats—Likely to
Stress Passing.
BV RUSSELL J. NEWLAND.
Associated Press 8ports Writer.
PALO ALTO, Calif., September 17.
—Foot bail's battle cry at Stan
ford^ University this year as
usual, will be "Watch Warner,"
ι but the old master of the gridiron Μ
Ι serves his opinion with the admonition
! "Keep your feet on the brakes."
Glenn Scobey Warner stands on the
; threshold of his thirty-ninth season as
j a coach. He is a throw-back to the
I daya of the flying wedge. In 1894 he
I was captain of Cornell and also helped
! coach the team. He has been planning,
1 thinking and building since that time,
i With the known Warner genius for
equipping teams with dazzling plays In
j mind, enthusiastic followers have seized
! upon a rather remarkable backfield
; combination to predict the Stanford
J gridiron creation of 1932 will be one of
j rare versatility and consequently one
j that will have to be considered.
EVERY member of this year's back
field unit has ij triple threat
rating. But tliere are also holes
j to be plugged in the line, especially at
; the tackle positions. Without a strong
\ forward wail the intricate Warner plays
! usually are smothered at their inception.
; Coach Warner therefore merely de
scribes the situation as "hopeful."
Stanford will seek coast conference
! and intersectional laurels with an of
fense known as "formation A." original
formation of three introduced by Coach
Warner during the last few years. It
has been modified to some extent, but
j differs mainly in that the formation
j is more compact than previously.
WITH a lighter and faster backfield
ard each man a capable pass
thrower or snatcher the Stanford
team is expected to go in strongly for
an aerial game this season. Lateral
passes have figured in Warner's style
of play for some time.
Stanford's only intersectional clash
this season will be with Pittsburgh, and
will mark the return of Coach Warner
to his old stamping grounds. He
coached Pittsburgh from 1915 to 1923
Dr. Jock Sutherland, present coach of
the Panthers, played under Warner and

[ was a member of the fencing squad,
said, "American cooking is really
detestable."
"America," said Jacques Lebrun,
I yachting champion, "is the country
of the automobile, and a machine
for $3."
Rene Bondoux, young attorney,

I described an American as "a man
who believes he Is always In a
hurry."
What struck the entire French

signals.

CONQUERS NIINARO
IK ME BATTLE
Comes From Far Behind to
Annex Two Skirmishes.
Monk Carries On.
A DETERMINED quest of four
years is ended in triumph
as the District of Columbia
horseshoe pitching crown
today adorns the sorrell, curley
pate of young Hubbard Quantrille.
In a six-game battle that held
a large gallery for more than two
hours last night oil the Eckington
Recreation Center courts, Quan
trille defeated the sensation of
the Washington division of The
Star's Metropolitan chahipion
ships, Bill Minard, and became
the fourth pitcher to hold the
title in as many years.
Quantrille, Minard, Raymond Brown,
John Gourvenec and Jean Monk will
represent Washington in the metro
politan finals to be played next Tuesday
and Wednesday nights. This event will
bring together the survivors of cham
pionship play in the city proper and
Northern Virginia and S.uthern Mary
land.
WHILE Quantrille was conquering the
stubborn Minard, who the night
before had eliminated, three prime
favorites, big Jean Monk wk winning
a play-off among defeated quarter
finalists for the fifth place in Washing
ton's group to carry on in the grand
finale. In a round robin he trimmed
Oren Atwocd and Ed Pearce. The
fourth eligible, Roy Wilson, was ab6ent
from the city.
Minard got away winging with a 50
35 decision, but success was short-lived.
Quantrille won the next three games,
dropped the fifth and won the sixth,
but it wasn't so easy as it reads. Twice
the youngster came from far behind to
take games and in only cne did he have
easy jailing. This was the third, which
he won, 50 to 18, in 50 tosses.
HE overcame a lead of 31 to 11 to
win the fourth and at one time
in the deciding game Was behind
9 to 31. In the clincher Quantrille
was at his best. He threw 20 ringers
in the last 36 shoes, including 6 doubles.
Endurance was an important factor
and the outcome was according to form.
It was figured that Minard had to
win quickly or not at all, what with
his 54 years against Quantrille's 20.
The youngster maintained his graceful
swing all the' way: his poise, in fact,
improved toward the late stages while
it was aparent the 2'--pound irons
were becoming heavy in the hands oi
Minard.
The victor's ringer percentage was
about 33 and Minard's slightly less.
HORSESHOE lolk now look eagerly
to the metropolitan finale in
which Harrv Fraser Saunders wUl
be defending champion. Pairings will
be announced tomorrow morning. Vir
ginia's eligibles are Clayton Henson,
State champion: George C. Thompson,
Ed Henry. Charles (Chicl Darr, former
State titieholder, and Ed Edmonston.
Representing Maryland will be Joe
Merryman, State champion for two
years: Levy Fleshman, Prank Bauman,
A. Schnable and Elwyn Woodward.
Of the four major titles at stake in
The Star's tournament that for Wash
ington alone has had a new owner
every year. It was won in 1929 by
Charles Fort, in 1930 by Harry Saun
ders and last year by John Gourvenec.
Fort, the first District of Columbia
champion, did not enter this year. He
was an interested spectator last night.
"The boys have become too good for
me," he grinned. When Fort was the
kingpin Quantrille was getting under
way as a horseshoe pitcher. He has
striven through four Metropolitan tour
naments. but until now has never held
a big title.
The scores of last night's match:
Quantrille 35 50 50 54 32 50
Minard 52 34 18 38 52 36
