MONAHAN ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct 5-The Invading football forces of Boston College rested tonight by the waters of the Severn, every member ready for to- h'ergt. morrows do or die struggle with the Navy. Three elevens of the Eagles worked out this afternoon at Farragut Field where the game will be played.

He was finally folded up and put to sleep. The train ride was not very restful for some of the Boston College players, especially those unused to that type of traveling.

Navy supporters seem to be uneasy about the outcome of the game, although Navy Bill Ingram will send forth a wrathful and cyclonic eleven calculated to make amends for the Midshipmens poor start and show the world that Navy is not to be scorned. No- doubt his attitude, aroused by the taunts of Ingram because of the defeat suffered last Saturday, will play an important part In th game tomorrow.

A. R. Dorman, Columbia. By MELVILLE E. WEBB Jr With the Boston College Eagles playing the Middies down at Annapolis today, the football fans of Greater Boston will have three rather than fout matches from which to take their choice.

At the Stadium the Harvard eleven will begin Its season agaliist the Springfield College team; at Riverside the Boston University eleven will dedicate Us new field with New Hampshire University as Its opponents, and Tufts Oval wifi be the scene of Tufts fiist game which this year will be played against Colby. Last week most of the elevens In the East got under way, but a few again have waited Until the first Saturday in October. Chief among these teams are Harvard, Yale and Princeton. The Bull Dog, groomed by a new coach this year, will have University of Maine as its opponent in the Bowl, while Bill Roper's Princeton Tigers will play University of Vermont in the Palmer Stadium at Nassau. Only One Close Game It has been several years since Har-J'ar? and Springfield have met on the football field.

There were four games from 1905 to 1908 inclusive, Harvard hJniSsJu 2 44 t0 9 to 5 and 44 to 0. The Springfield team appeared at the Stadium again in 1914 again to beaten by a 44 to 0 count and in 1919 Harvard won 20 to 0. It was in anticipation of a varied forward passing game that Springheli was placed on the Crimsons schedule, but in only one game, that of 1907, was the upstate opponent able to make much of a contest of it. past three or lour vears Springfield, while playing none of the so-called big teams, has had a fine record. In 1924 it was beaten 9 to 6 by Rensselaer: in 1925 16 to 0 by Amherst and in 1926 3 to 0 by both Man-hattan and Delaware, In the four-year stretch there were 0 to 0 ties with Connecticut State, Vermont and Providence, a 7 to 7 tie with UnV-n and a 10 to 10 tie with New Hipshire Dast week Springfiela beat East Stroudsburg Teachers College 25 to 7, its goal line being crossed for the first time in the last six games in which the Springfield point total was 97 points.

Team Well Together The first team which the Crimson wdll place on the field today is one which has been together almost steadily since the workouts started against the scrubs. There have been a change or two, mainly because of some injury, but as the season is opened Capt French will be able to lead about the best he has on the field. In the backfield, which is rated as having very fine possibilities this Fail, French, Guarnaecla and Harper all played last year. The quarterback Is E. Putnam, helmsman two years ago.

French and Guarnaecla have played two years and Harper one. Seniors on the line are Pickard at left end. Parkinson at right guard and Clark at right Douglas, right end and Barrett, left tackle, are playing their second year of varsity football, while right In the middle of the line are two members of last seasons freshman team. Trainer being at left guard and Ben Ticknor at center. The line from tackle to tackle av.

erages 190 pouuds; from end to end, 187 pounds; the backfield, 174 pounds, -and the eleven as a whole averages 183 pounds. Gilligan and Crawford, two of the leading candidates for quarterback, will not be used today, probably, nor Gildea, who began the season as the "best prospect for center, but was hurt before he had been oh the field five minutes. Crimson Looks Strong Harvard is much better prepared for its opening game this season than It was In 1926 or 1927. In -the two years Arnold Horween has been head coach the Crimson has notquite broken even in games won and lost, and in the 16 games played under the present coaching regime there has been none in which the opposing eleven has not scored. Precedent has been broken on Soldiers Field this Fall because of" the great amount of actual football scrimmaging which has taken place.

The varsity squad has put In many hours of real football against Its scrub team and has had one lengthy session against the reshmen. There has been gome toll of injuries but not a serious one. Springfield may be expected to play some flashy, up-to-date football while Harvards offensive game will probably be mainly of off-tackle and end variety, as little attention so far has been paid to the development of a middle rush-line punch. Nor has there been very much emphasis at Cambridge on the lateral passing and forward passing game. Yale Taking It Easy At New Haven, Coach Stevens has been putting his team through no such paces as Horween has been putting Harvard through so far this Fall, nor have the Tigers done much scrimmaging at Princeton as yet.

However, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth, as well as the Army teams, three of the Crimsons chief opponents of the year, already have made a start on their schedules. Dartmouth, while failing to run riot against Norwich, hag the makings of a better team than a season back. Coach Hawley has a wealth of line material and within a week or two should have a pair of mighty good lines made up of players who will be Interchangeable. The Army has big possibilities. Penn has lost a tot of good men.

The Quakers never should have beaten Harvard as badly as they did last present outlook year, and the present outlook at Philadelphia Is for a team hardly as good as that of 1927, Boston University is not In very college football.today Harvard vs Springfield at Stadium. m- Boston University vs New Hampshire at Bivcrslde. 2 pm.

AGGIES TO USE HEAVIEST TEAM AGAINST BATES AMHERST, Oct 5-Coach Charlie McGeouch of the Massachusetts Aggies said today that a continuance of wet weather tomorrow would probably mean that the team will put as heavy a team as possible on the field for the first home game with Bates tomorrow.

Under this plan Kelton, letter man last year, would replace Brackley at one guard, while True, who happens to be a transfer from Bates, would be at the other guard. The addition of Magnuson, former guard who is now being used at fullback, and Hicks, who is expected place Nitkiewicz. and Plumer at the start will give the Aggies their heaviest backfield in many seasons.

Rehoboth Sunday Herald. With a big force of men working overtime the past two days to get th field into shape for the official ceremonies and the football game between Boston University and the jUnlverslty of. New Hampshire, plans have been completed for the dedication today uj the field given by William E. Nickerson to Boston University. More than 5000 student tickets have been Issued the past week, and from all Indications the largest gathering that ever attended a Boston University home football game will be on haud this afternoon.

Alumni, have shown unusual Interest this year and will swarm to the new Boston University athletic field. Boston Universitys football team, whlchrep resents the largest educa-tional institution in New England, wH for the first time In Its history play a football game on Boston University soil. Large wooden stands with a capacity of 7000 have been erected on eitner side of the new gridiron. Flag, poles have been erected on either side of the field, while a well-built press stand enclosed with glass windows ha been provided for newspapermen. Luncheon First Event The program will begin at 12.30, with luncheon in honor of Mr Nickerson, who gave to the university the 24-acre athletic field which is now being developed.

The luncheon will be tendered by Pres Daniel L. Maish of the university and the university athletic council. Deans of the 11 schools and colleges of the university will be present, together with Pres and Mrs Edward M. Lewis of the University of New Hampshire. After the luncheon a procession led by Pres Marsh and Mr Nickerson, followed by faculty members and members of the University of New Hampshire and Boston University football squads, will march to tbs new gridiron at 2:10.

Here dedication will take place. Several football rallies have taken place the past week and enthusiasm is higher. The Boston-University band members will be dressed in their new uniforms, which have been made on the same plan as the Indiana band which visited Harvard last Fall. The band will strike up The Star Spangled Banner at the raising of the flag at the south end of the field. After the ceremonies the first football game ever played on Nickerson Field will start at 3 o'clock.

Team Ready for Game Final preparations were made by the Boston University football squad yesterday afternoon when Coaches Reggie Brown and Ed Robinson sent the squad through a long signal practice and passing drill. Although the practice was exceptionally light much ground was covered by the Pioneer mentors in polishing up the offensive and defensive formations to be used against the Wildcats. Although Coach Brown announce! his starting lineup yesterday alter practice it is probable that several shifts will be made before the game becomes very old, because of tha showing of several players in th scrimmages earlier on in the week. Ai Spitzer, veteran end of two tea-sons, has been playing finely and may oust Jack Carnie from the starting position. Another veteran who loomed up strong in the scrimmage battles was Herb Milley, tackle, who may start in place of Buckwalter at left tackle.

The pioneers will line up as follows Jack Carnie, le; Buck Buckwalter, It; Bill FYencb, lg; Capt Arthur Dor f-man, James Dincolo, rg; Edward Swenson, It; Ernest Tutten, re; Ciena OBrien, qb; Solly Thurman nib; Hugo Nelson, rhb; Francis Walke. b. Bill French reported yesterday for practice after a few days layoif oe-cause of a heavy cold, but, despite this, he will start the game at his left guard position. French is playing his fourth year for the Pioneers and has plajed two seasons without being relieved. An entirely veteran backfield will be used this afternoon, although Solly Thurman and Hugo Nelson have had only two days of practice since th West Point game.

Ex-Capt Glenn OBrien will call signals, while Ralph Marston will held in reserve. Francis "Craba Walker, who did some fine punting last week In the opening game, will do most of the kicking and passing this afternoon. MAINE OPENS YALE 1928 SEASON TODAY Special Dispatch to the Globe NEW HAVEN. Oct 5-Yale and the University of Maine meet tomorow afternoon in the Yale Bowl In the opening game of the Yale season. It will be the second game of the Maine team Beason which last Saturday defeated Rhode Island State.

20 to 8. Maines husky aggregation is expected to give Yale a hard fight and a arge crowd will likely be on hand. Both teams had their final workouts of the week this afternoon, but weather prevented the sort of woik that had been planned by the rival coaches. The visitors ran through signals In the field gymnasium and Coach Stevens conducted Yale practice on Pratt Field. Both workouts were held behind closed gates.

Both teams will present their bei-t lineups at the start of tomorrows game. Yale will start with 11 men who played last year on the field, and Maine will have the same team that won from Rhode Island tast week Frand Oldt and Johnny McEwen IH be the wjngmen for the Elis. These are relatively inexperienced In competition, but have won their places by virtue of their performance in practice this Fall. The game will be the fourth meeting of teams representing the two universities. Yale won two of the prt vlous encounters and the other was scoreless.

Yale team was honored at enthusiastic rally of 2000 undergraduates in Wollsey Hall tonight. Capt Max Eddy, Coach Mai Stevens. nd the other members of the coaching staff spoke to the gathering which cheered Its team lustily. The lineup: TALK Oldt. le Merlin.

The Springfield squad -rrlved at the Stadium from the Sandy Burr Golf Club In Wayland, where Coach Rothacher and his men had dined shortly before 2 o'clock. Harvard abandoned the field to the visitors and for a little more than an hour Springfield went through its paces be hind closed gates. Though reporters were barred from the concrete horseshoe while Spring field was practising.

Coach Rothacher later told the Globe man that the workout had consisted almost entirely of a long signal drill and a good deal of punting, dropkicking and place kicking. The Springfield coach averred that his men would propably not be Stadium shy today, a fate which has overtaken several first-day teams at Harvard in the past. One Change in Lineup The Springfield coach had only one change to announce in his lineup. Previously thi3 week he had planned starting Johnson at fullback, but in a last-minute shift. Rood is to get the call.

Rood started Springfields cpening game, but had since been displaced. The shift adds four pounds to the invaders very light weight Unlike most coaches, Rothacher gave bis boys a hand before an important game. He considers Harvard to be stronger this year than it has been for some time, but said yesterday that his eleven has been working very smoothly of late, and that it will give a good account of itself. While Springfield was busy in the Stadium, Horween and his assistants put the Crimson through, its lightest workout of the season. Harvards Work Light There was half an hour of punting and drop-kicking drill, 15 minutes on signals, and about five on kicking-ofT by the men who will be called upon to do this work.

That was all. Horween had no statement to make, but declared that he would stick to the line-up as announced in the morning. After the Springfield practice the Invaders returned by bus to the Sandy Burr Club, where they will remain until shortly before game time. Dr Tommy Richards announced that all the members of the Harvard squad will be dressed with the exception of Gildea, Potter and Holbrook. The last two will not be ready until some weeks, while Gildea will be back next week.

John Prior will be ready if needed, but probably will ncl be used. HARVARD BEATEN ONLY ONCE IN FIRST GAME II tradition Is to have anything to do with the case, Harvard should be the odds-on favorite to defeat Spring-field this afternoon on Soldiers Field, for the records show that only once in the long history of Harvard football has the Harvard eleven gone down to defeat in a curtain raiser. This was at the hands of Geneva in 1926, 16 to 7. ST JOHNS DRUBS HARVARD 2D, 39-0 The Harvard second varsity football team opened its season against outside opposition at Soldiers Field yesterday by taking a terrific lacing from the St Johns prep eleven, 39 to 0. But for the wet condition of the field, the core might have been larger.

The schoolboys displayed a fast and shifty offense, headed by the midget quarterback. Clark, whose open running was the feature of the game. The game Is significant, showing the extreme weakness of the Knox-coached machine, and consequently detracting from the prestige of the varsity which has been unable to average more than 40 points against the scrubs In scrimmage.

TWO REGULARS OUT OF GREEN LINEUP Armstrong and Swarthout on Sidelines at Start Hobart Squad Has Brisk Workout cn Hanover Field Special Dispatch to the Globe HANOVER. H. Oct 5-Although the rain threatened so much as to cause the canvas covers to be laid on the field, the Dartmouth football squad found time enough -to go through a short routine workout today In preparation for the Hobart game tomorrow. It was announced today that In all probability Ellie Armstrong, tackle, and Heinie Swarthout, end, will not the game tomorrow. Hawley would not admit that the men are injured.

but gave as his reason that he wishes to give Red Hein and Mc-Innes a chance to show their wares The chances that the two veterans will see service at some point of the game are good. Todays activity on the field was the most abbreviated to date, as the squad was kept in action for less than an hour. Green Offense Strong The Green team has shown con sistent improvement in its offensive work during the past week. Marsters and Breithut showing up finely In the backfield. Jeremiah.

Wolff and Clark all saw a little service with the elect today, and Lee and Johnson were in the second string fullback berths. Bart McDonough iyill start the game tomorrow at quarter. Coach Welch of Hobart brought his squad of 22 men to Hanover this morning, and they used the field before Dartmouth, shortly after dinner. The men all looked rugged and capable, and spent-most of their time in passing drills. The two backflfld veterans Gulick and Wyman showed good form tossing the ball, but the ends were not sure on the receiving end.

Welch was very pessimistic. He would only say We expect a good licking, and will be disappointed if we cant get it. It was noted, however, that the Ho bart first team spent quite a few minutes brushing up on the point after touchdown, using a halfback as a drop, kicker. Hawley Pessimistic On the Dartmouth side of'the table, things seemed just as pessimistic. Hawley reiterated his yesterdays statement that he considers Hobart a real menace, and so far the Green has shown itself none too sure in the passing game.

It, will face an exponent of this sort of attack tomorrow, and there may be surprises in store Robert Burnett, vice president of the Grand Trunk Railroad, and an o'd Dartmouth 'football player, gave Hawley some nints today regarding line play.

AMHERST HOPING FOR WIN OVER BOWDOIN AMHERST, Oct 3-Undaunted by its Icng list of injuries and lack of veteran line material the Amherst College football team will take the field against Bowdoin tomorrow full of optimism, with the return of Capt Brittain at end and the finding of a good tackle in Turner, early-season third-string guard. Either Lott or one( of the Wilson brothers will draw-the klcklng-off assignments tomorrow. The first eleven picked to start tomorrows game find Stearns holding down the pivot post, flai.ked on either side by McFarlane and Hoffman. Kirk and Turner the tackles and Capt Brittain and Felt, fleet track man. on the wings.

The Wilson brothers. Hefsey and Ten'r will constitute the backfield. Warren, Lott and Kellogg, last years regulars, will watch the game from the side lines. MIDDLEBURY SQUAD OF 24 OFF FOR WILLIAMS MIDDLEBURY, Vt, Oct 5-The Middlebury College football team left Middlebury th! noon en route for Williamstown, Mass, where it will meet Williams Saturday afternoon. Coach Ben Beck and 24 men made the trip.

Guarnaecla. Jacobs and McLeod, all backfield men, are laid up on account of injuries received last Saturday and It is doubtful if any of these men will start the game. It will be a much weakened team that meets Williams and the lack of reserve power in the Middlebury team la showing itself more and more aa th season advance. Middies Strengthened The Midshipmen do not regard the I game as an early season push-over, whatever might have been the expcc- tations when the game was scheduled. Ingram has decided that the team Which started against Davis and Elkins needed changes, so that the eleven which faces Boston College will be the best available.

Clifton and TUFTS COLBY Lloyd are the carrying backs, with Art Arlanzon le re Glazlrr Spring in reserve. Jack Gannon, a I Luckas It Dexter third class man, has displaced Rachdorf lg Giles Whelchel at quarterback. Tobey or Brehaut cl. Chute The Navy line also underwent Ruggerlo la Lobdell changes.

A stow- debut 011 the gridiron at Tufts Oval away, 12-year-old Bobby Hazell of I thl3 afternoon with Colby as the guest Brighton, is now a member and the team The game wUI be called at 3 oclock. The Maine college has not been on the Jumbo schedule since 1917, and only three times since 1900. In two of the three games the Medford eleven handily defeated the team from Water-vllle. There is only one starting position on the Jumbo eleven about which there is any doubt.

The starter for the pivot berth will probably be locked in Coach Sampsons mind until the whistle trills this afternoon. It Is plainly a toss-up between Gene Tobey, who did the major part of the snapping-back last Fall, and Ernie Brehaut. If Tobeys leg, which has been giving him some bother the pat two days, is not entirely limber today, Brehaut will surely get the call. Indications point to the fact that practicflly two. complete teams will see action against the Maine team.

Sampson has a second eleven with a line very nearly on a par with that which will take the field. Some of those who are almost sure to get in this afternoon are: Littleton and Mud-gett, tackles; Gallagher and Gibbons, guards; McRae, end; and Appianl Ingalls in the backfield 0 Center Only Position Unsettled on Jumbo Team Grantland Rice through. The Southern attack a likely to be faster and more dangerous, This is a hard early season for both teams, since both will need about all they have to prevent defeat. IN THE SOUTH-Georgia Tech nas a good test against V. M.

which Tech, with a strong outfit, should handle properly. Georgia Tech Is strong enough this season to annoy Notre Dame much more than usual later on. Virginia meets South Carolina, the team that beat Chicago. Se-wanee faces a hard one in Texas A. and the team that turned out Joel Hunt and Rags Matthews, two of the best football players any team carried a year Ask some of the Eastern stars faced them in California.

THE FAR-WEST California has a hard game with St Marys and Stanford has another with Oregon. California, Stanford and Southern California should all get by as all three have unusual potential strength. Biff Jones is keeping a close eye focused on Stanford, since this team comes East later on to fill the Navy date. MID-WEST Most of the Conference teams have -somewhat easy afternoons. Indiana, facing Oklahoma, and Chicago, tackling Wyoming, have the harder assignments.

Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota and Nothwestern look safe enough. N. Y. N. Y.

U. and Fordham put on their polishing workout for their own meeting a week away in one of the best October games in any section. Two home-town rivals, evenly matched, are always certain to put on a party worth looking at. Columbia has Union and Wesleyan to face before meeting Dartmouth in one of the hardest games the Blue and White will bump against. North Carolina has a busy afternoon with Maryland, where the score last year was 76, Syracuse should handle William and Mary, and Pennsylvania will take care of Franklin and Marshall.

Pennsylvania is another worth while keeping under observation as the team slips along. (Copyright. 1928, New York Tribune. Inc.) M. CONNORS IN BACKFIELD FOR HOLY CROSS TODAY WORCESTER, Oct 5 Holy Cross Collegq football team closed its practice for the game with St Johns of Brooklyn tomorrow at Fitton Field, with a short signal drill and field workout today to give the players a chance to handle a wet ball.

The team will start the game without the services of a regular right halfback because Shanahan, Clancy and Dowling are laid up. The position will be played by M. Connors. The St Johns team arrived today and it is a husky outfit. Eight of last seasons regulars will face the Crusaders.

Okeson of Bethlehem, Penn, commissioner of football officials.

The gathering, the first of Us kind ever seeni in proved to be an Interesting one and although it marked the second visit of Okeson to this city, it gave many of the officials, who did not meet "their boss the first time, an opportunity of getting acquainted with him and his methods. The session developed Into more or less of an interpretation meeting, with the changes in the 1928 rules occupying most of the time. Okeson spent considerable time outlining the aims of the lntercollegiatq football rules committee and stressed clean play to the officials who will handle the game In this section. Navy vs Eagles NAVY-BOSTON COLLEGE The Navy drew a shock last week from Davis-Elkins, but D-E has been in a shocking mood this season, having slipped in the best job of the young season in holding West Virginia and the Navy scoreless. Defeats may not be pleasant, but the Navys setback will send a stronger team into action against Boston College, a team that cught to win.

-The Football Roundup- NOTRE DAME-WISCONSIN Wisconsin will never stumble over a better chance to lead Dr Rockne into captivity. Notre Dame, at this date, doesn't look to be up to former high standards and Wisconsin looks better than usual, with a number of good backs working behind a big, strong line Notre Dame is no push over, but the star material of other years is missing end it may be November before Rockne can work his present material up to ill strength. He had a rough afternoon heading off Loyola of New Orleans, last week. He should have a rougher time today ie Wisconsin plays up to its possibilities. ARMY-SOUTHERN METHODIST The Army starts today one of the hardest marches in all football Southern Methodist Harvard-Yale Notre Dame Nebraska Stanford and Soutn-ern Methodist Is no part of a springboard takeoff.

Ray Morrison has oeen turning out good teams for several years teams skillfully equipped with the passing game. The Army, with its high-class veteran material Cagle, Murrell, Nave, Sprague, Perry, etc, ought to win by a pair of touchdowns, but the Texas visitors will put on an interesting show and play their snare of football. COLGATE-VANDERBILT This will be another meeting of two strong teams. Colgate has back most of her 1927 strength, with a lot of man power to send into the field. Vanderbilt is now rated among the three strongest teams in the Souh, a stronger team than last Fall.

Vanderbilt will find Colgates defense, backed up by Dumonts ong punting, a hard blockade to break good shape to meet New Hampshire, but Tufts seems well primed for its game with Colby. Boston College showed that it has a good line in the makings, but will find the middies putting all they have into their effort to atone for last weeks defeat by Davis and Elkins, 1 1 Gridiron Notes No changes have been made in the playing rules which need bother the spectators very much. There are interpretations enough to fill several supplements of well-ordered rules of almost any game; but another Fall the rules committee has promised a complete recodlflcatlonand a code book which needs no attending expert on cro3s-reference making. Last year it will be remembered that when a backward pass was made, except by the center rush, and the ball fumbled, a member of the opposing team might get the ball, but the miscue cost only a down. Many teams claimed tnis protection when just little side tosses were made, the bait fumbled, and recovered by the defense only to bs returned except after fourth down.

This year a lateral or backward pass must be at least two yards long to receive protection. Thus fumbles in close running plays once again will be as dangerous to make as they were prior to 1927. Another thing to remember is that when a kick is made and the hall fumbled and lost, the defending team cant be scored on. A member of the opposing team may secure the ball, getting it at the spot where he recovers it, but is not allowed to advance it. Even if the catcher of a punt runs up the field 35 or 40 yards, then drpps the ball and an opponent gets it, the opponent may not run with it.

The ball simply changes hands, thats all. It should be remembered also that a forward pas play begins whsn the ball is put into play rather than, as heretofore, when the forward pass It self actually develops. By SOL METZGLER Years when Hector Cowan ran with the ball for Princeton, a defensive end, noting him take it, began yeiling, Here he omes! Here he comeal Which was quickly changed to There he goes! There he goes!" as Cowan tore past him for another touchdown. So It goes when Yale gets her cut-ln-off-tackle play working smootnly, as she did for tw touchdowns against Harvard last Fall. I can still see Hammersley tearing for one of them, a long end run down the right side of the field.

Flhe dodging or weaving plus interference that hits hard makes the play possible. It would not surprise anyone if Yale used it for a few scores against Maine today. Every football opponent knows it. Yet that rarely helps in stopping it. The ball is passed to No.

who break for the opposing right end as though on a wide run. This move gives the line time to get into tr.e interference. Backs Nos. 2 and 3 go straight out and smash the defensive left end. No.

4 back helps the end with the defensive left tackle. Nos. and 8 come out from the line and No 5 goes through. It takes fine blocking by the remaining linemen and a deal of speed on the part of the running back to prevent the opposing linemen mussing up the play. That, plu fine Interference, is all there is to this powerful play that has been Yales dependence for some years.
