IN NEXIFORINIGHT
G. W.-Vandy, C. U.-Western
Maryland, Terp-Virginia
Offered Saturday.
BY H. C. BYRD.
INE college foot ball games on
local fields this week and next
oiler a program of gridiron
competition that the great
majority of big cities do not get In a
whole season. Four are scheduled
this coming Saturday afternoon, one
a week from Friday night and four
more the following Saturday.
Ahy one of three games to be played
this Saturday afternoon would offer an
excellent attraction, an attraction for
which many cities would be glad to
compete. George Washington has Van- ■
derbilt as Its opponent, Catholic Uni
versity plays Western Maryland, and
Maryland meets Virginia. Had Van
derbilt not been defeated decisively by
Louisiana State, which is to be George
Washington’s opponent next week, the
George Washington-Vanderbilt game
would have taken precedence over the
other two. As a matter of fact, it may,
anyway, but in all likelihood, as far as
an exhibition of technical foot ball is
concerned, .the Catholic University- I
Western Maryland game should be
better than either of the two in which
George Washington and Maryland are
to figure.
C. U.-Terror Game Hot.
TT'OR attendance, for color and gen
U er®l Interest, George Washington i
ana Vanderbilt offer much that !
Catholic University and Western
Maryland do not, but for real foot
ball Catholic University and West
ern Maryland probably will offer some
thing that the others do not. This
also holds good if the C. U.-Western
Maryland clash be compared to the
one.between Virginia and Maryland.
If George Washington beats Van
derbilt, its contest next week with
Louisiana State will take precedence
over everything else scheduled and
should rank as one of the two high
spots of the local' gridiron season. At
the same time George Washington
plays Louisiana State. Catholic Uni
versity meets Oglethorpe, Maryland
entertains Virginia Military Institute
and American University faces Ran
dolph-Macon.
Apparently Louisiana State is going
to bring here the most powerful eleven
to play on a local gridiron this season.
It's 29-to-0 defeat of Vanderbilt, which I
is a lot better than that score would
seem to Indicate, establishes the Baton
Rouge eleven with Alabama, as about
the kwo most formidable in the South
and should give the Colonials a game
a boot as attractive as they-should de
sire.
Terrors Have Everything.
THIS Western Maryland eleven,
which plays Catholic University
here Saturday, is a good deal
stronger than anybody gives it credit
for being, even its own supporters. It
is well coached, has in its line-up not i
only big forwards, but also two or three
backs of exceptional ability. There are
few teams anywhere that play better
foot ball, and if anybody wants to get
an eyeful of precise and well-timed
play, as weir as an excellent exhibition
of charging and blocking, that person 1
: can get it by taking a look at the lads
from Westminster. Catholic Univer- I
sity win be against the best team it 1
has met this year and if it wins, as
good as it is, should consider Itself
lucky.
J That one-sided defeat of Vanderbilt
by Louisiana State has taken some of
the edge off George Washington’s
game with Vanderbilt, but has added
a good deal to the one with Louisiana
State next week. There is not much
doubt that when the Colonials line up
against the boys from Huey Long’s
capital they will face one of the two
strongest elevens the South has pro
duced this year, perhaps the strongest,
G. W. Must Improve to Win.
EVEN with the Vanderbilt team
defeated, though, George Wash
ington cannot afford to take the
game lightly, unless it plays a good
deal better foot ball than it did against
Wake Forest. The kind of play George
Washington showed against Wake
Forest would hardly beat the Com
modores.
Catholic university s big score
against Manhattan must have sur
prised Coach Bergman about as much
as it did others. Bergman was expect
ing the hardest kind of a set-to. but
it seems that his young men took the
bit, in their teeth and " literally and
figuratively ran away with things.
The Brooklanders, though, had
better not accept that victory as any
indication of what may happen when
they go against Western Maryland.
The latter will be coached to a point
of perfection to meet the Brookland
attack and also as to where to strike
hard to make its own attack effective.
Georgetown was not able to beat
New York University, but it had the
satisfaction of keeping its goal line
free of any foreign foot. New York
University has potentially a much
stronger eleven than it has shown
itself to be so far this Fall, and that
the Blue and Gray was able to come
through with a 0-to-0 count is to
Its credit.
Georgetown has another hurdle to
take this week in meeting Richmond
University at Richmond. The Blue
and Gray will go to the Virginia capi
tal;, to play the best team Richmond
• has ever turned out, and If it expects
an easy afternoon had better change
its mental status immediately.
Georgetown probably has not had a
• more difficult game than the one
with Richmond.
Maryland Outdoes Itself.
IF MARYLAND never plays another
good game of foot ball it has at
t ' least one to its credit. Sat
«. urdey against Florida the Old Liners
were a good foot ball team, in fact
a little too good for their own good,
as far as getting credit for excellent
play goes. Had Maryland beaten
Florida In a nip-and-tuck contest
by oqc. touchdown or by a field goal,
It wfcWb grt •mom credit for its
achievement than for what It did, as
unusual as this seems to be. Actually’
Maryland outclggsed Florida to such
an extent’' that apparently it was
beating a mediocre eleven, but In

SporiScope
Fighter Joe vs. Diplomat.
Cronin May Be Duel
at Beantown.
_BY FRANCIS E. STAN_
IT ALL seems a little Utopian,
this new affiliation of Jo
seph Edward Cronin with
the Boston Red Sox.
Here is a guy just turned 28 and
commanding a minimum salary of
$30,000 tor the next five years. He
will manage the most progressive club
in base ball; an organization with
more money ready to be spent than
Joe can think of ways to spend it;
a club determined to spare no expense
for an American League pennant.
He will play in a ball park made
to order for a hitter of his type; a
park with a short left field fence,
where the drives, that were caught
off his bat in Griff Stadium will
bounce off a screen for doubles.
At the peak of his career, he will,
with a blare of trumpets. Invade
a city for which an Ir.sh Catholic
boy with a lantern jaw and one of
the most likable personalities in
base ball was intended.
Fly in the Ointment?
IT SOUNDS too good to be true
and, unless we have been rashly
misinformed, IS too good to be true.
It seems there is a business manager
in Boston named Eddie Collins, one
of base ball's immortals and one of
the shrewdest gents In the game. Mr.
Collins knows the diamond from A to
Z, everybody admits, but common
gossip in base ball circles has it that
Eddie is a bit too enthusiastic; a bit
too all-embracing as a manager of
business, if you get the drift.
Marty McManus, also Irish and a
steady, if not brilliant infielder, was
Boston's first manager to be second
guessed so expertly and persistently
by Mr. Thomas Yawkey’s able business
manager. Never a squawk, however,
was forthcoming from Mr. McManus,
even when he lost his job after a year
of commendably managing one of the
worst excuses' of all time for a major
league club.
Nor has a single disparaging re
mark been uttered by Mr. Mc
Manus’ able successor, Stanley
Raymond Harris, who also lost his
job after a single season in which
he lifted the Sox from the depths
of the second division to fourth
place.
Joe'* Sensitive—And How!
THERE is nothing In black-and
white to prove Eddie Collin* had
a thing to do with the brief
terms of these gents. All of the ac
cusations are verbal, but as yet never
have we heard a denial from a source
likely to be authoritative.
It isn’t that Mr. Collins purposely
makes life miserable for the Sox
pilots! on the contrary, it seems Eddie
is so wrapped up in the Bosox that
his notorious second-guessing just
‘oozes out.
Joe Cronin isn't used to a business
manager of the Collins ilk. Believe
it or not, he ran the Nationals pretty
much to suit himself. I personally
know he cannot stand for anything
akin to second-guessing because last
Summer in the Yankee Stadium dress
ing room I asked Joseph, after the
Nationals had lost to the New Yorks,
why he sent Dave Harris to pinch-hit
against a right-hand pitcher when
he had the southpaw-swinging CHS
Bolton on the bench.
Joe blinked a moment and then
turned his back without answering.
The next day he apologized and ex
plained :
"S’help me, I can't stand a ques
tion like that after we lose a game.
If I hadn’t walked away I might
have swung. I'm sorry. I know va
asked the question in the line of
duty, but I’m just that way."
Possibly May Click.
THAT sounds more like Sweet
Wilyam Terry—not Joe Cronin.
But it was Joe, the spirited, sen
sitive guy who joins a ball club pos
sessing the most notorious second
guesser in base ball.
Paradoxical as it seems, Joe also is
known as something of a diplomat.
He used diplomacy to get the best out
of players like Heinie Manush, Goose
Goslin and Buddy Myer; and fighting
words to achieve the desired results
from others.
In our opinion Cronin, the
diplomat. Isn’t as strong as Cronin
the fighter. And if we guessed
aright there may be a flaw in Joe
Cronin's Utopia.
VANDY’S TEMPER
IS G.JOAZARD
Angry Commodores to Face
Plays Hitherto Unused
by Colonials.
EORGE WASHINGTON’S
task in the Vanderbilt game 1
scheduled next Saturday has
been made harder, if any
thing. by Vandy’s defeat at the hands
of Louisiana State laat Saturday.
The pride of Coach Dan McOugln's
Commodore eleven, a perennial top
flight Southern team, suffered at the
claws of the Tiger, and the Nash
ville team is going to try to “take
it out” on the Colonials.
At least that’s the way George
Washington views the game from
the standpoint of mental attitude. It1
Is a commonly accepted fact that a
first-class team, such as Vanderbilt |
truly is in spite of that one-aided,
licking last Saturday, always will
play harder foot ball in the game
following a rude jolt.
The seriousness with which the
Colonials are beginning preparations
for Vandy's invasion was seen yester
day when Head Coach Jim Pixlee
got out one of his "Sunday’’ lectures
to impress upon his men their mis
takes of the Wake Forest game, to
gether with the danger lurking in the
forthcoming clash.
Colonials Show Determination.
WHILE the Buff and Blue men
tor quietly but firmly ex
pressed his dissatisfaction
with certain things that happened In
the Wake Forest game (particularly
the slip-shod blocking), the players
looked and listened with faces that
bespoke determination to improve
themselves. 1
Colonial sco'uts (three of them
watched the two teams G. W. will |
face the next two Saturdays) were ,
scheduled to return from Nashville
this morning. Detailed reports on
both Vanderbilt and Louisiana State
will be ready for this afternoon's
practice, although the L. S. U. dope
will be sidetracked until next week.
Pixlee told his men that Vander
bilt's whipping undoubtedly means
that the Commodores will prove a
’’mean’’ bunch and that the game In
dicated exceptional strength on the
part of Louisiana State rather than
any particular weakness with Mc
Gugln’s men. The Colonial chieftain,
incidentally, needs no lessons from
any one when it comes to forecasting
the mental attitude of a future oppo
nent. Last week, for example, he
sized up the Wake Forest Deacons
perfectly and the latter justified him
—though to his discomfort — by
threatening until the last whistle to
upset his lads. Perhaps the Colonials
were flushed with victory from the
week previous.
Time for G. W. to Uncover.
BESIDES snapping into the realisa
tion that Vandy will be tough,
the G Streeters in the next
few days will rehearse some offensive
plays as yet unused. So far they
have been fortunate enough to keep
under cover certain weapons that
might pull them through their hardest
games, but the time has come to I
reach into the bottom of the bag.
Vanderbilt scouts in the meantime
haven't been able to furnish "Colonel
Dan" and his boys any but informa
tion about comparatively simple plays.
G. W.’s attack must improve 50
per cent-over past performances, it is
believed, if the Buff and Blue is to
I carry its undefeated record through
the Vanderbilt game. Faulty timing
and blocking on spinners and reverses
have made the offense look bad on
numerous occasions, causing many
observers to wonder how the same
men who flash brilliance on defense
can display mediocrity in trying to
advance the • ball. Naturally, the
Colonials will have to smooth the
offense employed to date before they
attempt anything new.
Plenty of scrimmage, with extra
sessions for “skull” practice, likely will
be the order of work until Thursday.
To say the least (and strangely, it i
may seem to some) George Washiog- i
ton's hardest game is immediately |
ahead with a team that lost by four
touchdowns last Saturday.
GRID ARBITERS MEET.
The District Foot Ball Officials’
Association will meet tonight at 8
o'clock at 1106 Vermont avenue.

Pleased About Something
Mildred and Joe—the Cronins, you know—were reading in their 6an
Francisco home about the Red Sox acquiring from Washington a new
manager for a five-year term netting $150,000 in salary. This may have
something to do with the expressions on their faces. —A. P. Photo.

GRIFF SIGNS ROOK,
Takes on Scrivener, Young
Alexandria Hurler—Will
Delay Pilot Pick.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
Applications for the Na
tionals* managerial post, left
vacant when the Red Sox
bought Joe Cronin, continued
to pour into the ball club's Georgia
avenue offices today, but Clark Grif
fith temporarily brushed them aside to
sign Archie Scrivener, an 18-year-old
pitcher who has gained considerable
fame as a performer with the George
Washington University team and local
sandlot nines.
"I'm In no hurry to take on a new
manager for the club.” Washington’s
president said again today, "but when
ever the opportunity presents Itself I'll
take on likely playing talent.”
Scrivener, whose complete moniker
Is John Archibald Scrivener, jr., is a
slightly-built left-hander who has been
flinging in this territory about four
years. He makes his home with his
parents at 221 Belmont avenue, Alex
andria. and is in hia second year at
George Washington.
Reminds Griff of Gome*.
ARCHIE lwt Spring hurled for the
Colonials and this Summer for
the Heurich Brewers here and
Charlottesville in the Virginia Valley
League. President Griffith, who per
sonally scouted the youngster, said
Archie has amazing speed and a de
ceptive curve and given more weight
should develop into a high-grade
pitcher,
"He reminds me a great deal of
Lefty Gobez when the latter first came
up to the Yankees,” declared Griffith
enthusiastically. "Some more weight
to give him power and Archie should
become a marvel. He's going down
to his uncle's pecan farm In Georgia
this Winter for an outdoor life and It
should build him up,”
Archie probably will have to grow
some to make the grade. Right now
he is 5 feet 9 tall and weighs around
145.
Hurls Two No-Hitters.
SCRIVENER first sprang Into base
ball prominence when pitching
for the Alexandria team in the
American Legion’s national tourna
ment three years ago. Then he car
ried his nine to the national final,
only to lose to the Springfield, Mass.,
team in a l-to-0 game.
He played with the Celtics In Alex
andria and never lost a game on their
field. Archie has two no-hit games
to his credit.
He comes of base ball stock. His
father once was an outfielder of note
in the old South Atlantic League.
No Manager (or Weeks.
GRIFFITH said today that he
would not be ready to announce
a new manager for the Na
tionals before another two weeks and
quite likely would not make his choice
before the first part of December.
There are as imny as two dozen
applicants for the post and more are
expected to file. Several aspiring to
succeed Cronin are Washington resi
dents, Griffith admitted, although he
would give the name of none of these
except Bucky Harris.
This former manager of the Na
tionals Is the only publicly avowed
candidate.

FLASHY PASSING TURNS
TIDE IN MANY BATTLES
Pigskin Rivals Migrating Geese As Smart Little
Teams Take to Air to Thwart Heft—New*
Ball Rule Revision Effective.
BY JIM BERRYMAN. 1
SATURDAY'S sky was darkened,
not only by the saturated pres
ence of low-hanging clouds, and
not only by flocks of honking ;
geese iured to warmer climes. Those
ominous dark specks spotting the Au- j
tumn atmosphere were pigskip projec
tiles tossed high, wide and hand'ome
by deft flippers of the boys behind the
lines. By degrees, the foot ball has
worked its way up from the grime and
grovel of line play to a high place of
soaring communication with feathered
folk of the upper strata.
The game has seen a radical change
from thump and push to pitch and
catch. But it s a great break for the
little team which formerly battered
itself cockeyed against overwhelming
beef on the hoof. Now, the smart,
well-drilled outfit with a fast-clicking
set of deceptive passing plays can
buck up against the battering-ram
type of team and frequently leave the
field of battle victorious instead of
on a stretcher.
No doubt the newly elongated ball
has vastly increased the distance and
accuracy of the forward pass, also a
rule revision allowing tosses to be
taken behind the goal line has consid
erably elevated the scoring possibilities
of air tactics
Aerials Save Columbia.
AT ANY rate a brief survey of the
past week-end’s far-flung battle
front sharply defines the fact
that many of the country’s grid ma
chines have become air-minded.
Up at Baker Field, on the little Is
land of Manhattan, Columbia's Rose
Bowl Lions were deadlocked in a 7-7
score with Penn State until the final
few minutes of play, so the New York
ers proceeded to uncork a series of
lengthy heaves. Via the air route they
were able to advance down the field
until close enough for the mighty
Barabas to plungs over for the winning
touchdown.
At Cambridge Harvard and Dart
mouth were staging their annual
classic, the Big Oreen leading by a
shaky margin of a field goal. But
the boys from Hanover didn’t feel so
good about that measly three points
and wanted a touchdown. Banging
away at the Crimson line was about
as sensible as sending in Pete Barron
to knock the heavyweight crown off
Max Baer’s cranium. 80 what? A
pass I A nice long one! And it was
—43 yards—from Bill Clark to Frankie
Nairne. The only pass the Dartmouth
team pegged during the entire fray,
but it turned the trick.
Illinois made one grand gesture
against Michigan to win 7-6. It was
a determined drive to the Wolverine’s
goal just before the half. Les Lind
bergh and Jack Beynon, the Illini's
backfield passing combination, ad
vanced the pigskin a much-needed 33
yards on a couple of flips and put it
in a scoring position.
Long One Wins for Rice.
DOWN in the Southwest Confer
ence, Rice Institute kept its
title slate clean by a last-min
ute defeat of Texas. With the Long
horns nursing a 9-7 lead, the Rice
Owls put on their flying togs and
sneaked over a long pass to cop the
ball game. In desperation then Texas
took to the air in an attempt to salvage
what had appeared a sure victory,
but the Owls hauled out their anti
aircraft artillery and shot down an
enemy heave to gallop home with an
other swift score, making the final
count Rice. 20: Texas, 9.
Those wild, cantankerous Mustangs
of Southern Methodist pulled one of
the season's fast ones! These lads
from way down yonder have built up
a reputation as the paasingest rascals
in cleats, so the poor old Fordham
ram had drilled itself into a state of
wooly confusion on grabbing out of
the air anything from a water bucket
to a wart-hog. But the Mustangs
forsook their skyward ways and
pranced roughshod through the Ford
ham line on one ground play after
another. Bob Wilson, whose fame as
the Southwest's greatest wingman.
crossed up the dope completely by
showing the shivering fans in the
Polo Grounds that ball carrying was
another art he had mastered Just as
a sideline.
Ball Outflirs Eagle.
GETTING closer to home, we find
a young lad named Johnny Bos
sert, who spends his spare time
halfbacking for St. Johns in Annap
olis, exercising his pitching arm at the
expense of American University.
Johnny fired four touchdowns to clip
the Eagles, 26-7.
I
Maryland University neatly em
ployed a dumfounding aggregation of
trick passes, intricate triple laterals
behind the line and “shovel heaves”
across the scrambling pack, to mire
the Florida Gators in the Baltimore
mud. 31-0.
Down in the Valley of the Shenan
doah V. P. I. was enjoying a 7-0 ad
vantage over Washington and Lee at
the start of the fourth period. So the
Generals cast all caution to the Oc
tober zephyrs and staged an air raid
in the shadow of their own goal posts.
Capt. Monk Mattox flipped a brief one
to his stalwart end. Charlie Smith,
who raced 70 yards for the tying
touchdown. When the Gobbler’s full
back fumbled the kick-off a W. and L.
substitute recovered and the winning
points were chalked up on the second
goal crossing.
And so, as In last Saturday’s grid
encounters, the tide of many, a battle
was turned by the merest flip of a
wrist, countless scores of games in the
Mason’s second half probably will be
decided by the arc of an inflated pig
skin In flight.
