WEBB Jr First its one thing and then another. When the season opened the forefinger of criticism of the new things In football for 1932 were pointed very straight at the "dead ball rule. Fine long runs were going to be eliminated and edges of tight-score games spoiled because boys out in the open were going to fall with no tackier near, and then lose their touchdowns simply because they were protected by the rules.

There have been some Instances where runs have been called back because somebody has slipped and fallen only to one knee when free from tack-lers. Theres been the application of the crawling penalty In cases when there really was no crawling. But in games of moment, at iesst, the competition has not been spoiled because of this new rule designed to eliminate the so much undesired piling up. The hoys on their way to touchdowns have been very much able to keep their feet until somebody has knocked them down. un sv A I CENTRE COLLEGE STARTING LINEUP AGAINST EAGLES TODAY Front Row Fritz Henn.

Alphonse "Ike" Ezmunt, who blocked the punt that paved the way to victory last season, will be used as a reserve for Reynolds. The rest of the starters will be: Paul Donohoe. the only sophomore on the team, at left end; Flavio Tosi at right end.

Mario Romano at center and Capt Phil Couhig at right tackle. PRAISE OTEAGLES BY COLONELS COACH We are mighty glad to come back to Boston and meet the Boston College team again this year, said Coach Ed Kubale of the Centre College eleven, when interviewed at University Height ysterday afternoon. "Boston College was mighty good to us when we visited here before and all of my boys said it was the cleanest game they ever played in. with the Boston players showing a wonderful spirit. They have been very anxious to get back to Boston and I hope that the weather will not spoil things.

At that time the expected rainstorm came down in torrents and. the Centre squad was driven from the field, but the players felt happy that at least the rain had come a day before the game and there would be prospects for a clear afternoon today. Coach Kubale is not very optimistic about the chances of the Centre eleven, saying that his team does not come up to the standard of the group which held Boston College to a lone touchdown victory a year ago. He and the rest of the squad went over to Harvard Stadium, after leaving University Heights yesterday afternoon, and watched -Che Harvard squad work out, being much impressed by the Crimson drill. ARMY PLANE MANEUVERS BEFORE B.

GAME As an added attraction to the Bostcn College-Centre College contest today a squadron of planes from the United States Army Observation Squad will perform maneuvers over the reservoir at Lake st at about 1:30. They will last for about 10 minutes and conclude shortly before game time. The member of the Harvard University football squad will also attend the contest as guests of the Boston College A. A. and will be seated In a specially reserved section.

Suppose Columbus Hadnt Made It Columbus found a gentle land in fourteen ninety-two Where only Indians roamed at large to paint the landscape red; He never heard a rousing cheer for Orange or for Blue, He never saw a tackier stand a halfback on his head; He hung around a month or so and looked for thrills in vain, And so he turned his boat around and started back for Spain Columbus found America no doubt of that, my boy! He found a lot of real estate he never had to buy; But who discovered Heston, Thorpe, Mahan and Gipp and Coy, And who discovered stadia that rise against the skyt Yes, real estate is still quite dull by hill and plain and glen. But triple-threaters who can block are something else again. Suppose Qolumbus hadn't sailed in fourteeen ninety-ticot' We might have had no arguments on Yale and Kotre Dame; "We might have had the buffalo, Comanches and the Sioux, 11 it no one guessing at some score or doping out some game; And when old grads begin to growl, I think how much less pain There might have been if old C. C. had never sailed from Spain, 4 i JV gw -A -Av f' filHI Grantland Dies Report Trojans Slipping Tfie report is abroad that Southern California isn't up to its 1931 strength.

Whether true or not, it is a logical deduction for any one to make. Few teams in football history could lose such men as Shaver, Pinckert, Baker, Musick, Arbelbide and others and not feel the deficit somewhat keenly. Shavers and Pinckerts dont happen along the gridiron road every day or so. There is always a raft of efficient material under the Trojan banner. But replacing two fast, 200-pound, highly experienced backs in a hurry is a heavy jo'o for any coach.

Last Fall Notre Dame lost Brill, Savoldi, Carideo, OConnor and a few others. Notre Dame then tied Northwestern and lost to Southern California and the Army. Hunk Anderson found Brills and Carideos hard to replace in one Fall. Good football players are fairly common. Outstanding stars of experience are somewhat different.

A. Wiper, Boston. Game starts at 2 a Seeking revenge after the one-touchdown defeat by the Eagles a year ago, the Centre College football squad from Danville, arrived in Boston yesterday and today will face Boston College at Univers.ty Heights in what promises to be one of the finest clashes this reason. With only 21 men on the squad and eply four veterans ready to face the Eagles, these undaunted Southerners will go into the fray this afternoon confident of victory- Coach Ed Kubale center cn the famous outfit which defeated Harvard by one touchdown, has imbued some of his spirit into the small squad which he Is working with and. despite injuries which have hampered the work of two of the teams stars, they promise to give Boston College a great tussle.

Eagle Offensive Changed Centre knows what to expect from the Eagles, for a year ago the Mc-Kenney-ccached men were forced to give everything they had to overcome the foe and their attack availed nothing against the stonewall frontier Of the Southerners. Now Coach McKen-rey has changed his offensive and Coach Kubale cf Centre has also varied his offensive somewhat, to accommodate his attack to the type of hacks he has to worl. with. Centre used a straight power attack last year, with mere strength and force as the basic principle of the attack. but that was because the back-field was a heavy one.

But this year, with a group of light, fast, elusive ball carriers at his disposal Coach Kubale has changed things around and Bill Kelleher. Eagle scout, reports teat they have plenty of speed and deception In their attack. With a backfield composed of Lecil Hamilton. Cal Moody, Viv Nemecek and Martin Kottler. all of whom are light and fast.

Kubale possesses a group which can do anything necessary. Hamilton Is being hailed as the greatest quarterback seen in Centre :r.ce the time of the immortal "Bo McMillan and he can do anything with a ball, run. pass, kick or toss forwards. So good a report did Kelleher turn in to Coach McKenney on his work that yesterday afternoon Slc-Kenney gave detailed instructions to his ends to watch this elusive player closely. Nerr.eck Is starting bis first game, hut Kubale will give him the kicking assignment and expects him to give the Eagles plenty of trouble.

Kottler Is starting at fullback, in place of the injured Balias Long, but the giant Long will get into the fray for a short time, at least. The Eagle players well remember this young gentleman, as he Is the one who almost singlehanded wrecked the Eagle I.ne last season, for, with almost untel.evable power, he crashed through time after time, gaining three cr four yards every time he carried the ball. The ether back is Cal Moody, a 160-peunder, who is taking the place of the injured Elioer Hendren. who was left behind la Danville with an infected foot. Moody Is only a sophomore, but in fits few games played he showed that he Is destined to be one cf the finest tacks seen at Centre for a great many years.

Power in Colonels Line la the line Centre has plenty of power, with Capt Tater Breeding at left guard, Jim Bull Edwards at left tackle and Barksdale at left end. These three-men held down the same position against Easton College a year ago and played throughout the entire contest. The other side of the line will he taken care of bj- newcomers who have shown thy are worthy successors to last year's group by their play in the three games so far. Fred Henri will be at right end; Charles Lancaster, a sophomore, but the biggest man on the squad, will be at right tackle; Arkie Boyd, at right guard; and Reed Wooldridge at center. In sizing up the chances of the team yesterday afternoon, when they were practicing at the Heights.

Coach Ed Kubale put the entire case in a nutshell, when he said; 'Eost on College, with the same men who played against us a year ago is much better than when we faced them before, whereas we have lost eight players by graduation, are Inexperienced, and without the services of two of our stars, Hendren and Long. We will put tip a great fight, yet I am afraid Boston College will he just a mite too much for us." Chesnulevich on Dench On the other hand. Coach Joe Me-Kenney is worried about his chances, for he remembers the tough contest of a year ago. McKenney saw the Centre piayers as they came running back to the locker-room after their abort practice yesterday afternoon, and he was tmpreised by the setup of the players and their serious mien. He figures that, despite any reports to tha contrary, the PTaying Colonels are a fine group of players and will force Boston College to the limit.

If the Eagles expect a victory. McKenney is sending onto the field the strongest group he can assemble. In the absence of Pete Che-s nulevlch. Chesnulevich will be on the bench and In uniform, but will not play unless ft absolutely necessary. To keep all the experienced men possible on the field against Centre.

McKenney has shifted his backs about somewhat and -will use Johnny Doug an as number four tack. In place cf Chessy. with Ed Keiiy being shifted to number three back and Frank ifalcney going back Into hi old place at number one. Bob Curran and Tom Biake will be held fa reserve a running backs, tn rasa the above shift does not work out so well. In the line three new fares appear which were not in the starting group la the opening contest.

Dick Reynolds wI te bttk at his regular post at ft A A i SV 4 Jim Edwards, It; Charles Baiksdale. Is. Touchdown Secrets- Cross-Over Buck by Northwestern very likely will throw a cross-buck to the short side against Illinois next Saturday that will cause the down-State eleven no end of annoyance. It is made from a double-wing back formation. The ball goes direct to No.

2. But before it is passed, Nq. 1 is in motion back and to the left. No. 2 might well give him the ball, but after one cross-over step to his left, he bucks straight through inside the defensive rignt tackle.

No. 1 continues on out around end, a feint which puts him in position to intercept the right defensive halfback. To open the hole for No. 2, No. 8 comes out of the line, and, with No.

10, blocks the defensive right tackle, while No. 3 cross blocks and with No. 9 knocks the defensive right guard in. No. 5 first shoulders the defensive left tackle out, then runs down to keep the defensive fullback out of the play.

No. 6 comes back and leads No. 2 through the hole. No. 4 blocks out the defensive right end.

This play is powerful, particularly with Rentner, at right wing-back, making the feinting thrust to the left. The formation fits nicely into a lateral pass variation as we will see In tomorrows article. (Copyright, 1932. Publishers Syndicate.) TUFTS JAYVEES OPPOSE MELROSE ELEVEN TODAY MEDFORD, Oct 11 The Tufts junior varsity football team will meet Melrose High School at the Melrose field tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.

Billy Bartush, Chicago, threw Worcester, with a body slsm In I5 5, while Leonard Frlsbee, Portland, Or, drew with Axel Anderson of Swede. Criticism of Officials Now is being raised the cry that the officials are not on their jobs to enforce the new rules relating to the illegal use of hands. The battling in the rush lines seems to have gone along all right from the angle of the spectators and the players.

But, just as was figured when the season started, the officials are In many quarters being berated because they have not seen and penalized defending linesmen for using the sides of their hands rather than the palms while getting toward thek ball and also, as was to be expected, the wails have come from the coaches whose teams were beaten. Runners have very quickly adapted themselves to the new non-crawling rule, and the defending players are fast getting the idea that theres much to be lost and absolutely nothing to be gained by landing kerplunk on a carrier who has fallen. This rule in a large measure is taking care of itself. The use-of-hands rule, however, is one which touches on the oldest of defensive use-of-hands principles, and the result of all previous coaching Is not likely to be changed in a week or a few weeks. For some time there will be a tendency to do things the old way.

Competent officials will do better and better Jobs on the use-of-the-hands stuff as the weeks go by. Incompetent ones will have to Improve on this big Item or theyll have no place to go another year. Must Develop Punch The Harvard scouts who sat high in the stand at Hanover Saturday came back to Cambridge with a very well-founded Idea that the Big Green team which Jack Cannell is moulding for Dartmouth, will come down here once again as a team to be regarded very much In all seriousness. Plentiful should be the improvement in the team along the lines of its recently elected attack developed from the unbalanced line formation with end and tackle over which has replaced almost entirely the balanced, line, two-wing layout which has been 1 so familiar in the past. A little work with that left wing, more charging speed on the part of Baldwin, and the quicker breaking of the backs to the point of attack should be something to which the next two weeks should bring a great improvement.

Hanover, perhaps, so far has not shown Itself to be possessed of so much brilliancy for the passing game or for the "clicks which break a runner loose and on his way. Still, as things look now, it will be some time before the Hanover team will develop the long-looked-for punch for sustained power-rushing and once again at the Harvard Stadium it appears as if the Green would have to rely on shaking some fleet halfback jike Sammy Fishman loose, or rely on the long down-field passes which still appear to be very much a part of the Cannell offensive repertory. Strong in Fundamentals The Princeton Tiger, which for several seasons paat has been streaking back to his jungle to nurse hla wounds game after game. Is on hla way to a comeback, in the opinion of good football men who have watched Fritz Crislers work this Fall and have seen much to indicate that it will not be long before a big part of Old Tiges football prestige will return. Princeton received the expected beating at the hands of the stronger and much farther along Columbia Lions Saturday, but the Jersey team was strong in fundamentals and the size and temperament of tha players hit big holes in the argument that Nassau does not get good football players any more.

The team-to-team trend of the Princeton-Columbia game was more even than the 20-to-7 score indicated. Princeton completed more than 60 percent of its forwards and averaged about 15 yards on each ot its four completed laterals in five tries. Columbias two weeks head start in line work was the big factor toward the New Yorkers winning. That meant the extra work on plays and blocking which provided the edge in rushing yardage. The game indicated that the Jersey team has rounded the corner at least and that la the main goal of the first season of the ex-Mlnnesota coach down in the Jersey red lands.

RISE LIKELY TODAY A sharp drop in temperature followed the rainstorm yesterday and those who had carried their topcoats on their arms during the Summer heat of the early part of the day were glad to wear them during the evening. The thermometer dropped more than 20 degrees below the maximum of 72 between 3pm and midnight. No continued cold spell la in sight, according to the Weather Bureau, as slowly rising temperature is promise In forecast for today.

Today is expected be partly cloudy, with fresh westerly wind. Touch Football? No Several complaints have drifted in from noncombatants, old-timers and the like, that the new rules have reduced football to the status of touch football. The grand old game of yesterday is supposed to be softened into a pulp or a hunk of mush. Touch football? Id like to see a few of the complainers tossed into the middle of the Columbia-Princeton, the Michigan-Northwestern or the Tulane-Georgia melees of last week. Cliff Montgomery, Columbias slashing back, was toufched so gently that he spiraled In midair several times to land on head, neck or spine with all the tonal aspects of a thud.

Football is still the hardiest 'of all the athletic combinations and almost every coach in the land is still poised under the haunting shadow of the hospital list, hoping he will only have enough reserves to fill up the gaps. If the 1932 brand is touch football, then water polo is the ping-pong of the pool. WEYMOUTH LEGION TEAM SWAMPS ROCKLAND, 27-0 WEYMOUTH, Oct 11-The Weymouth A. L. eleven swamped the Rockland A.

McEwan plans two practice sessions Instead of the usual one. A blackboard talkt In the morning and a hard drill in the afternoon are on the program for Columbus Day. Coach McEwan believes that Detroit, Saturdays opponent, is too tough to permit any holidays for the squad. The work today was on brushing up the tackling and blocking, especially the former, as It was felt by the coaches that poor work on the part of the secondary was largely responsible for some of the Maine gains last Saturday. Ed Britt, regular end, was uffering from a stiff neck today and Tom McNally, captain of the track team, who reported with the squad but left it a few weeks ago, was called back to train again with the end squad.

Jim Moran of Boston has a slight Charley horse, but it will probably not keep him out of the Detroit game. NIGHT FOOTBALL HAS ITS PLACE, SAYS BROWN WORCESTER, Oct II For more than three decades a widely known football coach, equally noted as a scout, Reggie Brown, saw his first night football game a few days ago when he scouted the Detroit Titans. Brown, now assisting Capt John J. McEwan, head football coach at Holy Cross, was detailed to scout Detroit, Saturdays opponent of the Crusaders, in its game with Washington Jefferson and experienced the thrill of watching his first night game. He found it a highly enjoyable experience, like going to the theatre, as he described it, and believes that night football has its place In sport-dom.

He prefers the daylight game and believes that where daylight football Is practical, it is best for the college, but if financial or other reasons suggest night football, he believes It is a game that answers' about every requirement of the football fan. He found, among other things, that the naked eyesight was tetter than field glasses for general work, but the glasses were best to bring out an individual player. He also found that there was a tendency of certain numbers to look alike. He noted that there was considerable fumbling, but could not tell from his experience whether or not that was due to the night game or the natural tendency of the players. He found that there were slight shadows that are missing In daytime football, but felt that there was nc greater chance for deception than there was In the daylight game.

He went all over the stand from top to bottom to get a view of the game and teams from all angles under floodlight conditions, because it xvas his first opportunity to see a night football game and was not reluctant to say that the game has many valuable points and that It is just as favorable for scout and fan as day football. KENT BACK AT BOWDOIN RIGHT END IN WORKOUT BRUNSWICK. Me, Oct 11-The Bow-doin College football squad resumed practice this afternoon after a weekend layoff following its 7-0 victory over Williams Saturday. A1 Kent, who did not play in the Williams game on account of a broken hand, was back at his regular position at right end. Nason replaced Ackerman at guard, while A1 Madeira played left tackle in place of Low, who is nursing a cut on the nose received in the Williams game.

As it started to rain during the practice. Coach Bowser gave the squad a short dummy scrimmage and then sent the boys to the showers. SUTPHIN OUT OF EXETER TEAM FOR TILT SATURDAY EXETER, H. Oct 11-Exeters football squad, which is working for the game with the Harvard freshmen Saturday, will be somewhat changed in its lineup, owing to an injury to Dudley Sutphin, right tackle, who was hurt in the Yale freshman game at New Haven last week. Sutphin Injured his leg in that contest and Is expected to be out of the practice and games for at least three weeks.

His place Is being filled by Charles Toll Jr of Amherst, Mass, who has been playing on the scrubs all of the season. Although the field was wet and slippery this afternoon, there was a long drill. B. C. COACHES SPEAKERS.

AT SOPHOMORE SMOKER) About 500 attended the sophomore smoker in the Library Auditorium of Boston College at University Heights last night, as a featureVof the nignt lie fore the Centre football game Frank R. Lidell, president of the sophomore class, presided at the affair and introduced as speakers. Bill Ormsby, B. C. line coach, and Bill Kelliher, coach of the B.

Musical entertainment was provided by the junior class orchestra, under the direction of Teddy Mirier, author of the two latest Boston College songs. Paul Curley, son of the Boston Mayor: Roger Kirvan, George Goodwin and William Keane comprised the committee In charge of the smoker.

I MAINE IN FINE SHAPE FOR GAME WITH WILDCATS' ORONO. Me. Oct 11 After a day of work, Cbach Fred Brice of the University of Maine squad gave the men a long and intensive drill today pointing for the game with New Hampshire at Durham Saturday. New Hampshire has beaten Maine for two years running by a narrow margin, but I Brice believes he has a good chance 1 to even up this year. I Maine came out of the Holy Cross game Saturday with no injuries of ac-i count.

With the exception of Don Favor, the entire squad was In action today. I TUFTS VARSITY DISPLAYS POWER IN SCRIMMAGE j- MEDFORD, Oct 11-The Tufts football squad went through a long practice this afternoon at the Oval in preparation for Bowdoln. Both the first and second teams were sent against the Junior varsity in scrimmage, while all three teams had long signal drills. The first team showed a great deal of pep and power in the scrimmage against the Junior varsity and was able to go through the reserves almost at will. Sam Fox and Jack OBrien were In at the tackle posts again today, replacing Batchelder and Woodworth.

The two regulars will have to do a lot of work to regain their positions before Saturday as neither of them is in perfect condition. Jack Parkhurst is out at center until the middle of the week, as he has contracted a slight Infection. Ben Carlyn of Lynn was playing at the pivot position this afternoon. At the right guard the battle is still waging between Mc-Gonagle and Spaulding, with each playing equal time in scrimmage today. The first team backfield was composed of McMahon at quarter, Uanna and Station at the halfback posts and Clark at full.

Clayman was allowed to rest today, but will see service tomorrow. The second string backfield looked almost ss good as the first today, with Ed Monier and Harry Hymanson showing some flashy ball carrying. Monier was especially impressive. HUTCHINSON MAY START FOR ARMY AT TACKLE WEST POINT. T.
