Setting the Pace By F R A N K G R A H A M

They Will Not Play Loosely Again. Columbia lost to Tale and was tied by Army in the waning

minutes of play and now looks ahead to Princeton. Columbia, they said, played sloppy football at New Haven but was much better at Baker Field last Saturday and really should have won the game.

They said that the Columbia linemen were tunaeling under the Army linemen and blowing them up and blasting holes in the Army defense. They said that they were playing as Columbia players should, «ven if they couldn't quite win.

Lions Always Know How to Play. Well, it was a cinch that, once they got that one sloppy perform­

ance out of their systems at New Haven, the Columbia players would play smoothly, win, lose or tie. Because no matter how well they can play the game . . . whether they are Luckmans or Matals or Mont-gomerys or just a lot of kids out there doing the best they can . . . they always know how to play.

There is an old story about the Big Ten football coach who was here for a dinner or something early in one football season and was invited up to Baker Field to watch a practice. Ha was standing on the field, and a bunch of football players came out and. used to the sizable squads they have in the Big Ten schools, he said to Herb Kopf, who was an assistant coach at Columbia then:

"Who are those fellows? The Number One backs?" ••Yes," Herb said. "They are the Number One backs, the Number

Two backs, the Number Three backs, the Number Four backs, the centers, the guards, the tackles and the ends. That, my good fellow, is the Columbia football squad."

The visiting coach shook his head "I never saw such a small squad," he said. After practice he shook his head again. "I never saw such a well-drilled squad, either," he said.

Any Evening on the Practice Field. To understand why the Columbia players are so well drilled it is

necessary to be on the practice field with Lou Little late some after­noon and see what goes on.

All the players cannot turn out for practice at 4 o'clock. There always are a few players drifting in late. Players who have had special classes or were in laboratories or had to make up something somewhere along the line of the class rooms before they could get out to practice. But Lou finally gets them all together and they run through a play. The play clicks beautifully. The timing of the players would be the envy of the R o c k e t t e s . . . . That's what you think.

"No! No! No!" The voice is that of Lou Little. The players, who were about to

start another play, stop and look around. Now Lou is in the middle of the group. He puts the finger on

every player who was at fault. From where you are standing nobody appeared to be at fault. But In the eyes of the coach they were nearly all wrong. Not wrong by much, maybe. But just enough wrong to throw off the whole play. To give a phantom enemy tackier a chance to break through and smear the ball carrier. Just enough wrong to mar play that might, some day, cost a ball game*.

Sometimes Lou Is Exasperated. So they go over and over the play again. Sometimes Lou speaks

patiently. Sometimes his voice rises in anger or exasperation. He stands quiet or he paces up and down. Nothing that happens on the

• field escapes h i m . . . . Nothing but the passing of time. So far as Lou is concerned, a practice is timeless. The sun sinks

beyond the Hudson and in the east the darkness gathers and spreads and the moon comes up. The players become silhouettes and some­body gets a white ball and somebody else turns on the lights, but Lou doesn't notice any of these things.

The players finally ge t the execution of one play down to his liking and then he switches to another, and they go over that again and again. And in the dark Lou's voice rises again.

"No! No! No!" And then, at last, somebody tells him that dinner is practically on

the table, and he calls a halt and the players go in and take their showers and get dressed and go over to the old house where they eat and sleep and they sit down and eat their dinner.

- Then Comes the Study Period. The day isn't done, so far as Lou is concerned. There still is the

natter of the players' studies. They still think a t Columbia that the football players should be good students and if they are not good students they soon discover that they are not football players, either. When a boy falls behind In his studies they wind up and fire him from the squad, and they fire him so far ha is lucky If ha ever gets back.

Now, it seldom happens that a boy i s fired from the squad because his marks are poor. One of the reasons for that is that Lou Little Is looking over their shoulders practically every minute they are at their studies in this old house where they live. The professors who teach these boys do not have to worry about them. Lou does all the worry­ing—much more than the boys themselves do.

So every night, virtually, he makes the rounds and talks to the boys and finds out how they are doing and if they are not doing so well he gets after them harder than he does when they are on the

LEONARD TOILS NINE YEARS FOR MOUND HONORS Knuckle Bailer Lands Amid

20-Game Winners With Feeble Support

By THE OLD SCOUT. Emil (Dutch) Leonard of the

Senators will start out next year firmly established as one of the top-notchers among the major league pitchers. It took Dutch a long time to attain his current ranking, nine years, to be exact, but he made it and, having advanced to a lofty pinnacle, he probably will re­main among the more efficient pitchers for a long time.

Leonard, who throws the most deceptive knuckle ball In the ma­jors, was one of the eight pitchers to win twenty games last season. In many respects his feat was more noteworthy than that of any other twenty-game winner. Dutch suc­ceeded in the face of tremendous odds. He was up against the handi­cap of having to pitch for the weakest run-making team in the American League and also one that was weak defensively.

The Senators finished a poor sixth, All of the other major league pitchers who won twenty games, Buck Newsom. of the Tigers, ex­cepted, performed with first di­vision teams. The Tigers, after spending some of the summer in first division company, wound up in fifth place in their loop.

Leonard was the only pitcher to register a score of victories for a team that didn't win as many as half its games. All told, the Sena­tors won sixty-five contests so Dutch was responsible for approxi­mately one-third of their triumphs.

Honored by Home Fans. No other twenty-game winner

was credited with as high a per­centage of his team's total number of victories as was Leonard. His performance with the Grlffmen surely made him an outstanding pitcher.

Washington fans voted Leonard the most valuable member of his team, and the knuckle-bailer richly deserved the honor that came his way. In compiling his record of twenty victories and eight defeats he wan pitted, more often than not, against the best pitcher on the rival team. He engaged in duels with Bob Feller of the Indians, Charley Ruffing of the Yankees, Newsom of the Tigers and Thorn­ton Lee of the White Sox. Seldom, if ever, did an easy assignment come Leonard's way.

Since the Senators didn't have a robust attack, pitching for them was always a difficult task, not only for Dutch but for other mem­bers of their staff. Leonard was their only regular starter who suc­ceeded in winning more than half his games.

Pitching against the Yankees was, of course, the most difficult task the American League flippers encountered, and Leonard was ex­ceptionally brilliant in his combats with the powerful world cham­pions. He made seven starts against them. He beat them four times, and no other pitcher was able to boast of that accomplish­ment.

Dutch also distinguished himself

Little Has Faith in Lions Coach Happy Over Development of Line as

Shown in Clash With Army. By EDWIN B. DOOLEY.

Columbia has an even chance of beating a potentially strong Princeton team at Baker Field Saturday, but in order to win It will have to attain the same kind of psychological peak it reached for the battle with Army last week. The Lions are, comparatively speaking, a small eleven.

They lack the towering heft of the Tiger forwards and the brawny wingmen most varsity teams boast. Consequently they require the burn­ing spirit of the zealot if they are to make their plays, click against su­perior odds.

With Army, the stage was set per­fectly for the Lions. Traditionally, Columbia has almost always played fine football against the cadets, both in victory and in defeat. Last year, Coach Lou Little's team beat back the West Pointers in a story­book finish. These things helped Columbia this year, and when it took the field against Army, it felt it could and would win. The defeat at the hands of Yale was of no consequence. Army was the new goal, and Little had pointed his team sharply for the conflict.

Few coaches can keep a team at a fighting peak for a long time. Un­consciously it lets down mentally and falls back into old ways of play. If the Lion mentor can send his team out on the field against Princeton in the same frame of mind it had when it met Army, it will probably defeat Tad Wieman's eleven.

rett, the silver-topped sage of Co­lumbia's athletic department, pro­nounced every man in perfect fet­tle, save for a few minor bruises collected by bumping into the rag­ged West Pointers.

Princeton, still smarting from the lashing handed It by Cornell, will probably will play Its best fooU ball of the season so far. Colum­bia's defensive play against Army was remarkably good, and if it re­peats the performance it stands • good chance of keeping the Tiger backs, as well as the Tiger aerials, in check.

Several years ago he lacked control of his most effective pitch, but by constant practice he eliminated that flaw.

It wouldn't be amiss to give Rick Ferrell, who is Leonard's battery mate, some credit for the pitcher's success. The way Dutch's knuck­lers act makes him the most diffl cult pitcher In the major leagues-to catch, and Ferrell has handled the knucklers more expertly than any other battery mate Dutch ever had. Ferrell has collected many bruises on his forearms since he started to work with Dutch, the marks resulting from being struck by knucklers which acted erazlly. Still Ferrell always called for the difficult pitch when Leonard was in a tight spot. Ferrell's catching has had something to do with Leonard's progress in the Amer­ican League.

Tartans, in Game With N. Y. U., May Have to Save Something for Notre Dame.

By WILL WEDGE. One way of viewing the Carnegie Tech-New York University game

on Saturday is that the Tartans, caught in the middle of a rigorous schedule, may be preoccupied, thinking of their dates immediately ahead, with Notre Dame and Pitt, and therefore not in a position or mood to go all out against the Violets

trouble as ever this time, because they resent occupying a place on the Carnegie Tech schedule that might be considered a breather date for the Tartans as they work up steam for their Notre Dame and Pitt obligations.

Also the Violets could be viewed as particularly dangerous this week end, because they figure to be on a rebound after their costly letdown in the last period of their game with North Carolina. They aren't going to be caught making the same mistake twice. They will kick when told to and pass more cannlly, and probably more frequently, than they did at Chapel Hill, for the word is abroad that the Tartans are a team that can be passed against to advantage.

When the teams last met, in 1937 at Pittsburgh, it was Violet tossing that turned the tide and brought

WEST POINT, N. Y.. Oct. 19.— final practice session here before

for

Unless the signs are being misread, Army should have a better co-ordi­nated attack against Yale In the Bowl this week than It displayed In the Columbia game last Saturday, or In fact In any of Its games thus far this season.

One of the criticisms directed at the Cadets following the Columbia game was that the line and the backfield too often worked at cross purposes, but three days of hard scrimmaging In which the regulars have been kept on the offensive most of the time appear to have done much to correct this falling.

Captain Bill Wood has devoted hours of practice to develop better timing between the forwards and the backs with a view to eliminat­ing the distressing episodes of the Columbia game when the Army for­wards either blocked the backs or were so far in front of them that the interference they provided was of negative value.

"The running attack has needed plenty of work, and the long drills of the last few days have been ab-

the squad departs tonight for New Haven.

Army will seek to prevent Yale from getting the same sort of jump Uiat gave Columbia its early touch down last Saturday. That early score upset the Cadets more than the coaches ears to admit, and this may explain why they have been so lavish in their praise of the fighting qualities that enabled the team to stop Columbia's other thrusts and eventually score the tying touch­down. '

As In the Columbia game, the West Pointers will have two Inter­changeable backflelds, with Art Frontczak, Jere Maupln, Moon Mul-lln and Jim Rooney making up the first and Long John Hatch, Dick Polk, Clyde Thompson and Harry Heffner the second. Maupin and Hatch will do most of the passing and kicking.

Frank Yeager and Emory Adams will be the starting ends, the latter having completely recovered from the banging up he received In the Centre College game. Dick Hanat and Joe Grygiel, former Boston Col-

its battle with Auburn at the Polo Grounds on Saturday Is a scoring punch. The Jaspers have been striving to do the right thing by Coach Herb Kopf all of this young season, and they have uncovered a lot of pep and hustle. But they have been short on touchdowns, a serious defect which they hope to correal this week.

While they go about the business of polishing up their wallop, there also is a concealed, but neverthe­less earnest, hope that Auburn will elect to have one of those Saturdays when it is just a wee bit tired. Or If not tired, at least not so ardent against a Northern foe as it might be about one of its Southeastern Conference oppo­nents.

There is always that possibility, too. Auburn is probably the most traveled eleven left in the major football circuit, Notre Dame used to get around a lot In -the days before It built its grand new stadium out on the Indiana plains. They used to call the Irish the Nomads In those days, and no one at Notre Dame cared for that nickname particularly. Now they call Auburn the Nomads, as well as the Tigers and the Plainsmen. That Nomad label may be gone from Auburn, too, after It dedi­cates Its own new stadium later this season with Florida on the outskirts of Montgomery, Ala.

Auburn Getting Around. Right now Auburn still Is getting

around. Its schedule takes it from Boston to New Orleans, with plenty of stopovers at such places as At­lanta, the Polo Grounds, Birming­ham, Washington, Knoxvllle and Baton Rouge. Those Southern stops are really the Important ones. The Plainsmen want to wallop their conference rivals. Thus, Manhat­tan has a faint hope that there may be a letdown, even If It Is an unintentional one, this week, be­cause Auburn has Georgia Tech im­mediately ahead on the Saturday following.

While It would be comforting to feel that a real good Auburn team, which has such stalwarts as Capt. Milt Howell at tackle and Dick Mc-Gowen, one of the beat kickers In the South, at left half, might be tired from Pullman travel this week, Manhattan is going shead just the same, prepared for a major

Spider Bite Sends Coach to Hospital

PASADENA, Cal., Oct. 19 (A. P.).—A little thing like a black widow spider's bite can't keep Caltech's veteran football coach, F. L (Fox) Stanton, from prac­tice.

He disturbed a spider's nest while trimming a hedge at home, brushed the spiders oft his arrra and went on working. Feeling faint, he called a physi­cian who found he had been bitten, and ordered him to a hospital.

Stanton stayed just an hour, remembered that it was time for practice and departed for the football field.

TIGERS TAPER OFF ON DEFENSE WORK

Doubt Whether Bokum Will Start at Fullback.

been missing up to now. Accordingly, Coach Kopf has re­

arranged his backfield, so that the starting quartet now will consist of Migdal, Gnup, Fay and Proch. The first two are a couple of old stand-bys. Migdal has been a work horse for Kopf during the last couple of seasons. His labors against Du-quesne were outstanding, while Gnup Is one of those unsung heroes, a first rate blocking back. The other two, however, are recent pro­motions to the varsity, and the Manhattan coaching staff Is hoping to see this new combination click.

Injured Players Recovering. Manhattan, going into Saturday's

engagement as the underdog, has the further handicap of injuries to overcome. Capt. Jerry Fall, reg­ular right guard, and Dave Fara-baugh at left end still are nursing minor hurts. But they were hob­bling around yesterday and show­ing signs of regaining their spry-ness, and there is a strong belief that they will be ready for action on Saturday.

This also goes for Teddy Mazur, the best kicker on the Manhattan squad, whose services may become much In demand to compete with Auburn's McGowen. Mazur, who has had a collection of assorted in­juries, Is beginning to act normal again, and he ought to be ready to resume, not only as a kicker but as a runner and a passer.

The activity up at Manhattan Is enormous. Maybe the Jaspers can do it this time. They are running into a rough and rugged opponent, but they are hopeful—hopeful that they will be good enough themselves this week and that Auburn will be travel weary.

an 18—14 razzle dazzle second half victory.

Big Ed Boell, now a senior, was a sophomore in that game, and he was sensational. He carried the ball fourteen out of fifteen times in a 90-yard advance and threw two touchdown passes, one to Mil­ler, the center, who became an eligible receiver by deploying at the end of the line, and the other a shovel toss to Savarese. Sol Bloom tossed the other touchdown pass to Sivak.

The Violet-Tartan relationship has been studded with pyrotech­nics. It wss the 1928 game with Carnegie that established Ken Strong as one of the outstanding backs of the last decade. Ken, now a professional with the New York Giants, was out to watch the Violets at Ohio Field yesterday.

It was a drill session, with ac­cent on fundamentals. There was a long grass drill In setting up exercises, then work on the tack­ling dummies and blocking pyra­mids and Individual instruction by the various specialty coaches, with the forwards and ends driven hard in charging.

Pace to F1H In. The Violets have a few pretty

good catchers themselves, but it looks as If they will be without the services of their best due to the knee injury Alex Campania suf­fered In the North Carolina game. Trainer Johnny Williams reports he Is getting surprisingly good re­sults with Campanls's knee by dia­thermic treatment and whirlpool baths, but the chances are strong that the second stringer, Tommy Pace, must start at right half in place of the Greek.

Pace can run right fast In those ponderously cleated football shoes, but there Is no record of his hav­ing caught a forward pass in actual competition as a varsity man. Any­way, he hasn't caught any this year, for to date be has been used sparingly. His qualifications can only be guessed as yet, but his big chance la ahead.

His team mates call Pace the In­dian. That Is because of his Little Big Horn of a beak. A bold fea­tured lad, with a nose like Lom­bard! of the Reds, Pace is far faster than Ernie, and much more ag­gressive. A Bronx boy of Italian extraction, he went to University Heights from Textile High, and he is taking a course in marketing In the school of commerce. If he brings his market basket to the park Saturday, and catches a few forward passes therein, he will sell himself superbly to his coaches and rate an A plus In his commercial course.

The Carnegie Invaders will arrive here tomorrow and take up quar­ters at the Knollwood Club, White Plains.

Rocked West Point l i n e . In the clash with Army, Colum­

bia's sturdy forwards did a good job against a powerful line. Only the adamantine Capt. Harry Stella, Army's best lineman, proved too hard to handle for the Lions. Time and again the fast furious charge of Little's contingent rocked the formidable barrier that was the West Point wall.

Princeton has some gargantuan players In Capt. Bob Tlerney and Hooker Herring, who average well over 220. In Dave Allerdice the Tigers have a versatile and brilliant back who will be a difficult prob­lem all afternoon. Chunky Bob Jackson, the 9.9 sprinter, will be a thorn in the Lion's paw, too, if he is able to play.

Coach Little has a lot of faith in his team, especially after the per­formance it turned in against Army. Six of the seven men who consti­tute the Columbia forward wall played sixty minutes against Army without a moment's respite. The other player, Bernard Sweeney, played, all but three minutes of the sixty. Against a driving and pun­ishing line such as Army has, that feat is a worthy one. No wonder they are calling the Columbia for­wards "the seven bronze lions."

Little is happy over the way the Lion wingmen have come along. He always knew Capt. Frank Stul-gaitis was a splendid end, but he had his doubts as to the ability of Hugh Barber to play up to the standard set by his running mate. Herb Maack's play, as well as that of Don Levy, has delighted the Columbia mentor, and today he also expressed satisfaction at the work of Thornley Wood, the sophomore quarterback, and Len Will, full­back.

Lions Stick to Scrimmaging. Columbia reached its best form of

tbe year after the Yale game, Snd it was through the medium of scrimmage that the Lions improved so rapidly. Despite the fact Colum­bia has none too many men to spare, especially in the key poei tions, Little believes scrimmaging is the only way to keep the team doing things correctly. With that In mind, he sent the boys through a fast and furious contact drill yes­terday afternoon.

Before the scrimmage, Doc Bar-

By EDMUND S. DELONG. PRINCETON, N. J , Oct. I f . -

Having absorbed some defensive knowledge last week by bitter ex­perience and having acquired a working knowledge of the Colum­bia offensive tactics from the team's scouts, the Tigers are busily engaged these last few days la perfecting tbe defense they expect to employ Saturday on Baker Field.

"The rest of the week will be tapered off on defensive tactics without any more scrimmages,'* Tad Wieman announced today.

Wieman declined to state defin­itely whether Dick Bokum would start at fullback, but It's a good bet that he will, despite the fact that he has had only two days exper­ience in the backfield blocking post since being switched from tackle. Wieman's only comment was that, "We are bringing him ahead as fast as we can."

As the first team lined up yester­day several shifts were noted. Pur-nell was at center, but Jim Worth, probably the best ail-around guard* was at center with the second team in order to gain experience at that position. If thlnga pan out he may be ahifted to that position .regu­larly. Meanwhile Charlie Robinson, stocky and scrappy second-string guard, replaced Worth in the first line-up. Ballentine held down the other guard post, while Herring had replaced Bokum, who had been shifted to fullback. Tlerney was at his regular post at left tackle and Aubrey and Stanley held down the wings.

Allerdice at quarter and Wells at right half remained from last week's starting backfield combina­tion, but Peters, who has been an understudy for Allerdice, had bean shifted to left half, rounding out the backfield with Bokum.

This left Meyerhols and Long* streth, both veterans, holding down the wings on the seconds, with Jamison and Rice as second-string tackles, Tschudy and McAllister at the guards, Dixon calling signals, Van Lengen and Rose at the halves and Pettit at fullback. The latter two started last week.

While the first team, backed up by Bokum, tried to solve the Colum­bia plays as executed by the second backfield, the first team worked on the defense against the Columbia passing attack and appeared to do pretty well.

Tulane Coach Clears Up a Red Dawtott Comet Right Out in the Open to

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19 (A. P.) . —Coach Lowell (Red) Dawson final­ly has come right out in the open to disclose that Tulane has an air force which can be used, if nec­essary, to stop the pass-flinging North Carolina Tar Heels here Sat­urday on the Green Wave's hopeful drive toward the Sugar Bowl.

It will come as something of a surprise, if not shock, to know that Tulane plans to open up in the air after the bone-crushing tactics which brought the Wave through its first three games successfully.
