NAVY TEAM SHOULD WIN
FROM YELLOW JACKETS
IN TODAY'S BIG GAME
By LOUIS A. DOUCHER.
Today, for the fifth time, Georgia Tech's far-famed Gloden Tor
nado will attempt to win a football game in the North. Three
times the Atlanta contingent journeyed to Pittsburgh, failing each
year. Last year Penn State defeated the Yellow Jackets at the New
York Polo Grounds. Today the sons of Uncle Sam should turn
back the Golden Tornado by at least two touchdowns.
Georgia Tech's peculiar formations may be expected to worry
the Middies for a while, perhaps for the first period. It may run
even into the second period, depending wholly upon the football
sense possessed by the sailors. But once the Middies realize that
heir sturdy charge can break up those puzzling shifts and blind
attacks on the wings, the Navy should proceed to march down the
Held for touchdowns.
Georgia ??*?:?? will be outweighed,??
especially in the Une. but the Atlanta
team la made up largely of veterans
who have been well grounded in .the'
Helsman style of play. If they man
age to get away to a flying start, It
would not be surprising, ln the least,
to see them scoro Inside the first five
minutes. It's a way they have of
scoring early.
However, It is doubtful If Georgia
Tech has faced anything like the
hard-driving defense the Navy will
?how today. Oglethorpe fell before
the Yellow Jackets, 31 to 0. The
light Davidson team was beaten, 1?.?
to 0. Last Saturday, Alabama Uni
versity was properly cleaned up, 33
to 7. It is a safe bet that in all three
of those games Tech did not face the
drive ln defense it will realize in the
Very first period today.
So far as scores 90, Tech over
shadows the Navy. Western Re
serve, a high school team, waa beat
an, 71 to 0. It ?id not even provide
good practice. Bucknell waa barely
beaten, 14 to 7, last Saturday. 80
much for scores.
There is this to be said of these
acores. The Bucknell game was ac
tually the first of the year for the
.Middies. An entire week was wasted
by bringing Western Reserve to An
napolis. The Ohioans did not pro
vide even good practice.
Any time you think Bucknell can
be taken on for a sucker, you have
one huge think still coming to you,
and more especially if you're
Navy man.
In the first place, Bucknell ranks
With the stiftest defensive teams ln
the country. It may lack suitaoie
attack to go on down the field to
?cores, but It never lacks a Ine
that can tear opposing attacks to
pieces.
In the second place, Bucknell Is
usually more effective against the
Middles than against other teains
of less strength.
And that was the team against
which the Middles had practically
to open their 1922 campaign last
Saturday. Only by a wonderful
ruah toward the close of the game
was the Navy able to finish on the
long end of the score.
Personally, we look for a Navy
victory by at least two touch
downs. We look for Tech to
make Its usual flashy start.
Then the Middies will begin
tearing through on that famous
shift formation and It'll be good
night - so far as a victory for
Tech.
The success of the Yellow Jack
ets will hang largely on the length
?f time It takes the Navy to diag
nose "that peculiar attack. The
hacks shift. The forwards shift.
Sometimes they all shift at once,
tending to spread the defense. And
so well trained are they that the
Yellow Jackets are tearing down
the field with a loose runner gal
loping aolng behind, aa many as
four men ln an Interference.
Navy's ends, tackles and half
hacks will have a merry time until
they discover how to break up that
shift. Then Tech will suddenly
?cease to gain ground. If Navy teams
of the past offer any criterion, this
may require the entire first period
nnd then the blue-jerseyed lads will
be found piling up the Tech back
field the moment the ball moves.
Judging from the figures made
public. Navy will greatly outweigh
Tech ln the line. The backfield? ap
proximate about the same weight.
Tech has a veteran quartet behind
the line. Navy Is not so well
equipped. However, Captain Conroy
and Barchet should look quite as
good on attack as even the re?
?owned Reds Barren and McDonough
?r Brewster.
Georgia Tech will not want for
support today. For weeks Waah
tagtonlaas have been worked up
and thousands have become
"alumni" of Atlanta's great
engineering school. If only for
today It will be a noisy after
Moon at Annapolis.
The Golden Tornado worked out
yeeterday on Bancroft Field. It was
little more than a mere limbering
tip exercise and the formations to
he used today were not in sight. A
?rood night's rest at Carvel Hall,
headquarters of the Southerners,
should fit the entire squad for a
Wonderful exhibition today against
ths Middles.
Washington football fans are
especially interested today in young
Cullen. who Is a Navy halfback.
Cullen formerly captain???! the
Central High School eleven In Waah
lngton and Is now making good
ander Bob Folwell.
It Is believed that Oeorgla Tech
Will appear In Washington next
asasen. The Navy Is expected to
ofier the Southerners a game at
American League Park, while
Georgetown also wants to entertain
the Yellow Jackets ln the Capital.

Harvard-Centre and Navy
Georgia Tech Clashes Are
Headliners.
Two big intereectional games,
calling for Centre College to invade
Harvard's stadium for the third
and laat year and Georgia Tech to
meet the Navy at Annapolis, fea
ture the collegiate football program
for today. Of minor consideration
ia the East vs. Weat meeting of
the University of Detroit and Bos
ton college at Petriot.
In addition, the Western con
ference is due for a banner day.
Michigan goe? down to Columbua
to help Ohio State open its new
stadium. Illinois takes on Iowa, the
team that beat Yale, at Urbana.
Ills., Northwestern meets Minne
sota at Bvanston, Chicago and Pur
due will ? lash at Chicago, and Wis
consin and Indiana will have it
out at Madison. Wis.
From an intereectional stand
point. Harvard and Centre College
will furnish the game Of the day,
but the other member? of the ao
called Big Three should have It
comparatively easy, Princeton meet
ing Maryland and Yale playing
Williams.
An important game In the Weat
is the meeting of Nebraska and
Missouri at Lincoln, to aay nothing
of tbe family quarrel between the
two Dakotas at (iragil Forka;
Washington and Oregon aggie? at
Seattle and Idaho and Washington
State at Moscow. Other Western
attractions of more or lesa moment
will bring together Notre Dame
and DePauw at Notre Dame; the
University of California und the
Olympic Club at Berkeley, and tbe
University of Southern California
und Nevada at Los Angeles.
One of the biggest games In the
East la the Syracuse-Pittsburgh af
fair at Syracuse. Another ia the
meeting of Georgetown .and
Fordham at the Polo Grounds for
I the Catholic college champlonahip
of the East and u third involvea
; Cornell and Colgate at Ithaca,
? Penna will have a fiarly hard teat
in Swarthmore and Dartmouth may
, experience some difficulty In dis
: posing of Vermont -but the Army
ahould win under wraps from New
Hampshire State.
In the South, the games between
Washington and Lee and Weat
Virginia at Morgantown, W. Va.,
and Georgia and Tennessee at
Athena, Ga., are conspicuous.

NO SITE YET SELECTED
FOR ARMY-NAVY BATTLE
WEST POINT. ?. Y.. Oct. 21?No
site for the Army-Navy football
game in 1923 has been decided, not
withstanding recent newspaper re
ports to the effect that the service
gridiron game would be played at
the Yankees' new stadium In New
York next year. This statement
was made today by Captain M.
B. Rldgway. graduate manager of
athletics.
It Is Army's turn to select a site
for the game next Fall and Captain
Rldgway said that when the time
came for making a choice the Polo

LOOKING ?? OVER
By - - ? LOUIS A. DOUQHER
WHO'LL LEAD THE GRIFFMEN?
THERE is plenty of time for Clark C. Griffith, the Washington
magnate, to decide what he wants to do regarding the leader
ship of his 1923 ball team. He may name Zeb Milan to try it
again, giving him whatever assistance he may in the way of players.
He may decide that Zeb Milan proved a fizzle in 1922 and that
some new man, preferably a two-fisted bloke, might have better suc
cess with the very men now on the roster of the Griffmen. But
several months may pass before the president of the ball club need
make up his mind. Meanwhile the fans will be able to chatter and
stew over the situation, which does nobody any harm and serves
to keep alive interest in the game as played in thia man's town.
Handling a big league club is?*
no boy's job. It calls for quali
ties of leadership over men and
for experience in the game itself.
Here and there may be found a
smooth-voiced man meeting with ?
success, but always he has an
iron hand inside the velvet glove.
The ideal manager is the experi
enced man, always an old player, j
who knows how to drive his men
down the st,retch.
John McGraw, in more ways
than one, ?h the ideal big league
leader. He was a great third
baseman, possibly not the best,
but ranking among the best half
dozen. He is rough with the
rough ones and smooth with the
smooth ones. He knows the game
from A to ? and knows how to
handle men, big ones and little
ones.
For several years, in addition
to these qualities, McGraw has
been connected with the richest
club in the majors. If he needed
a player, money never stood in
his way. The standard by which
he has acted has been this: Can
this man land the pennant? If
he, from his experience, believed
the player could turn the trick,
bingo, he bought him, or worked
a trade calling for thousands to
boot. Success was the result. ?
Zeb Milan's Case.
NOW let's consider the case
of Zeb Milan.
It was confidently be
lieved by all, including Clark C.
Griffith, that the Washington club
of 1922 was surely a contender.
It is undoubtedly true that the
failure of the Griffmen to get
away from the mark last spring
was quite as much of a shock
to Zeb Milan as it was to Clark
Griffith. Yes, and it also shocked
the experts and even the various
thinking members of the Wash
ington ball club.
But, then, when it wan too late,
only a club with a lontr purse
might have bolstered the weak
place.*-. And so the ball club re
leased this failure and that and
dragged along to a bitter, dis
appointing finish. Now Zeb Milan,
as fine a little fellow as baseball
or the United States has ever
produced, may have to be the
official goat. It's the ruli of the
game. He knew it when he
signed up ato manage the club.
After the blow wears off, he may
admit It himself.
Now rumors have MiVj Kelley
a possible successor to Zeb Milan.
Kelley has an excellent reputa
tion as a minor league leader in
St. Paul. But Just what he might
do with the nondescript Griffs re
mains to be seen. It is possible
that he might have to be tried to
discover.
From close observation of the
Griffmen for eleven years, and
mor especially the team of 1922.
we might suggest some of the
hundir* the new manager must
tak? on the fly if he is to lead a
team orer the tape a winner. They
are many.
Muat Drive Players.
HERE are some of th? things
tha 192.1 manager of the
Griffs must do at the ?Uri
1.?Weed out the loafer**. Fine
them for loafing oa hit?, fly balla
or on the ba.-es. Release them if
they cannot be cured.
2.?Get ? seasoned veteran
catcher to handle the pitchers. The
club has suffered for this lack
several years now.
3.?Compel the pitchers to pitch
ball all the time. This is especial
ly true of the newcomers.
4.?Encourage darin?/ on the
bases, especially that shown now
and then by Bucky Harri??.
5.?Put a soft pedal on all con
versations not connected with base
ball. Stifle the motor car gos
sip, the farm reviews, the idle
chatter of stajre and go1'.
6.?Compel team work, even by
heavy fines. This is McGraw's
method and it cannot be beaten.
7.?Drive the players and drive
the team from the first game to
the last. Even the present roster
could do wonders under such ?
system.
Griffith Should Help.
CLARK GRIFFITH should help
his manager in accomplish
ing some of these needed
improvements. For instance, he
would have to be consulted when
it came to dropping some loafing
player, and the 1922 team had
them. It is up to him to get
that catcher-coach to handle the
young pitchers, or even the reg
ulars on the days they are not
called upon.
Zeb Milan was given the whole
hearted support of President
Griffith this year and very likely
the 1923 manager, whoever he
may be, will fare likewise. But
the 1923 leader must be a leader
and a driver or the present col
lection of players will end no
where. They lack the fire that
belongs to a winner.
The principal drawback to
Milan's success was his long con
nection with a losjng ball club.
\ manager coming from a pinch
i.ack club can work only as he
aiiowk and he would be floored
by the possibility of spending
nioney. Milan has never been
with a pennant-winner.
We don't know who will man
age the Griffmen of 1923, nor do
vo especially care. Somebody
will have the job and we'll prob??
ably be out there looking at the
drames, no matter who manages
or who plays, either. And if
we're not, what of it?
Fens Are Interested.
WASHINGTON fans, though,
are greatly interested,
judging from their letters
to this desk since the 1922 Griffs
went to pieces.
In some weys we think Wash
ington fans are all entitled to
medals for enduring heroism.
Year after year, particularly in
the National League, they have
supported weak ball clubs. . Clark
Griffith has greatly improved that
condition, but the ultimate vic
tory is yet to be achieved and if
Mike Kelley can bring a pennant
to Georgia avenue, he is to re
ceive all support possible, not
onlv from fans but from Clark
Griffith himself. And if Mike
Kelley can't be obtained, It is up
to Clark Griffith to get somebody
who can.

Mastiff and Terrier of Foot
ball Clash Today for
Last Time.
By DAVIS J. WALSH
BOSTON. Oct. 21?Harvard and
'Centre College, the Mastiff and the
terrier of collegiate football, will
?rapple to the death within th?? state
ly confines of the Harvard stadium
his afternoon. It will be the third
meeting of the teams; likewise the
laet, for Harvard ia pledged to the
Big Three to engage in no more in
tereectional games after the carren*?
season.
Therefore, the Maatiff will go out
after the Terrier, tooth, nail and
hide. It has no particular desire to
represent the cor|>se at an interse?.??
tlorial Inquest. Neither does It care
very much about loaing the odd
game of a terminated stries, in which
honors now stand at one-all.
The Praying Colonels first came to
the stadium in 1*20 behind the greai

Some swift action Is expected at

Brookland counts the Mohawk
gamo aa its major engagement of

ations accordingly. Hobey O'Menra,
former Mohawk captain and now
leader of the Brookland team, today
declared his team fit to give the
Mohawks more than thai* probnbly
bargain for.
His team will be heavy If not
heavier than the Mohawks and it

for losing their tempers and rid

Down at heart they are sore, not
so much becauae they have seen
bad games, but because to them
it appears merely the punishment
that must go to Washington and
a Washington ball club.
If Clark Griffith can wake a
winning ball club, it ia distinctly
up to him to do so. And if he
succeeds, he won't have to worry
about receiving th? support of

BIG THREE PACT KILLS HOPE
OF REVENGE ON WESTERNERS
By DAVIS J. WALSH.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.?With one of its merobera already defeated
in a big intersectional game, another hooking up a fast and dangcr
ou_ rival, and a third facing almost certain defeat today, Harvard,
Yale and Princeton, the entente cordiale of collegiate football, arc
beginning to regret the agreement that call? for them to drop inter
sectional games after the current season.
Yale, beaten, rather convincingly??]
by Iowa last Saturday, would most
certainly like nothing better than
another fling at the Hawkeyes. Yet
the Blue Is bound by agreement to
drop the matter, as Is, and no mem
ber of the Big Three Is given to that
sort of business. They may prate
of taking early season games "ln
their stride?," but you will notice that
once defeated, they are loaded for
bear the following year.
That is the case at Harvard today
for the Centre College game. The
Colonels pulled out the decision ln
1921, but they will have to be a
much better football team to repeat
the performance today. Harvard will
be shooting with both barrels.
Consider nest the plight of
Princeton, which hss to travel all
the way to Chicago next week Just
for the sake of an almost inevitable
boating. It will be the second In
succession for the Tigers at the
hsnds of Chicago, but they are
pledged to drop the series, never
theless.
The writer would like to sit in st
a meeting of the athletic council at
Princeton this winter and hear what
some of its members have to say
about letting the honors remain In
the Middle West forever and always.
They die hard in the Big Three.
Last year a good Princeton team
was beaten impressively by a better
Chicago team, and neither alibi nor
post-mortem was necessary. But

rate, it Is not tbe best of business
to enter a big intersection..! game
with an uncertainty playing quarter
back.
To date Coach Boper has had so
much trouble with his defense
that he has been forced to let the
attack take care of Itself. In this
he was most fortunate sgainst
Colgate when Cleaves Intercepted
a forward pass and ran some sev
enty-nine yards for tbe winning
score.
Offenfrtvely the Tigers showed
nothing beyond the fact that ?'leaves
haa possibilities as a ball runner, and
that Snively, a reformed end, can
be brought out of the Une to hurl a
nasty pass.
Defensively, the end? are none too
good and Dickeneon and "Pink"
Baker, are the only forwards of ex
perience. The Immediate prospect
as viewed from the International
ajigle, ia not a prepossessing one for
the Big Three.
Harvard alone seems to be in a
fair way to retain ita prestige, but
that la not aurprlatng. Harvard gen
erally managea to take care of Itself.
