Charles Harvey, Capt Charles Reiss. ON ALUMNI FIELD Final Hurdle For Undefeated Elevens Army, Princeton and Duke unbeaten and untied will get their answer by nightfall. The chilly dusk of a December day will show whether they are to remain on top with spotless records or whether one or more of the trio will stumble and fall over the final hurdle. Of the three Duke seems to have the hardest game to win against a Georgia Tech team which has been scurrying along of late. Army has an assignment of a harassing nature in spite of Notre Dames record this Fall.

You would think an unbeaten team would be a sure thing over a team which hasnt scored in six games, but there are no sure things in football especially when Army is facing Notre Dame and Yale, is tied np with Princeton.

COLLINS Bostons Blue and Gold soccer present leaders in the American pro league race faces the acid test this afternoon at Pawtucket when it meets its old rival, Pawtucket Rangers, at Lonsdale-av ground. Maybe this game will not prove a real one for both teams. Boston is keen to retain its present lofty position while the team managed by Butler is just, as anxious to unseat the Blue and Gold and assume the role of leadership itself and that can be accomplished providing the Boston boys go down in defeat today.

It is quite evident from the manner in which the Whalley-McMillan-OHare bunch has been playing that an added lease of life will be necessary if the locals are to defeat Pawtucket. With such stars aa Tate, Andy Auld, Billy Pitt, Harvey, Czerwicz and Co all ready to shoot the -works against Boston a pleasant afternoon should be on tap. Up Worcester and Springfield way another full card of games will be on the docket for. tomorrow afternoon in the Worcester County, Central Massachusetts and Western New England Leagues and the tilt between Fair-weather and Swedish Americans at Worcester looms a the best of the entire bunch. Scandinavians will clash with Drapers this aftqpnoon at Hopedale and with the Drapers showing something like true form the leading teamln the Central Massachusetts League may get a surprise as Heron, Tetlow and Co are no setups on that Hopedale pitch.

BAY STATE LEAGUE GAMES FOR WEEK-END NAMED Secretary Tom Doherty announces that Bay State League games for the week-end. In the First Division, Peabody L. D. C. vs Dorchester Rovers at Peabody, Quincy Point Boys Club vs Nordens at Quincy, Lynn Riverside Juniors vs Portuguese Civics at Lynn, Maccabees vs Victory Sport Club at Franklin Field.

Second Division, Corinthian Intermediates vs St Anthonys at Revere, Woburn vs Shamrock Rovers at Fleming Field, Woburn. All. games to start at 2:30 m. Secretary Doherty also states there will be a special meeting of the league at Lancaster av. Revere, tonight, to act on several letters of application from teams seeking franchise in the Bay State League.

The Juvenile Division schedule for the 'remainder of the season may also be drawn up at this session. FIVE THOUSAND C.

Curley, graduate manager at B. C.

Grantland Rice ponent has succeeded in scoring against it, with the single exception of the Rutgers touchdown last SaN urday, which was mads against a combination consisting of nine third team and two second team flayers. Yale will find it very difficult to make much yardage through a tins which contains a pair of tackles like Ceppl and Capt Lane, or around ends guarded by Lea and Fairman.

In the event of a successful long pass, Garry Le Van will be back there to make trouble for the receiver, and Le Van is a natural trouble-maker. "Appreciating the drive Yale will undoubtedly possess today, I do not consider it highly probable that it will fail to score, but I nhould like to wager that such activities will be limited to one touchdown. On the other hand, I see every reason why Princeton shotud score, and more than once. With Pepper Constable hammering the line, and Le Van and Homer who have accumulated half a dozen touchdowns apiece so far this season, dashing inside and outside of the ends behind excellent interference, I should imagine the Yale defense will have considerable difficulty. "It is hard enough to predict who will win a football game without going to the extent of saying ty how much, but I would like to enter a prophecy that Princeton will defeat Yale by a score that, will be very close to 20-7." Ring W.

Lardner Jr. Looking Back to September The first scene took place late in September. A football delegation was discussing the Armys chance. "No chance a all," was the verdict, with Summerfelt, Vidal, King, Lincoln, Kilday and other regulars missing." This was to be the Navys year Notre Dame would have a romp Harvard and Yale would get revenge. The second scene took place right after the Stanford-Northwestern game.

Stanfords fast young backs couldnt get started. They rarely passed the line of scrimmage. They showed promise, but they looked too Inexperienced. The Cardinal line was only fsir that day. Certainly no one in the group that looked at the Northwestern party 'had any idea that this Stanford team was on its way to victory over Southern California and California the team to be the Rose Bowl choice of the Far West.

You have gotten 10 to 1 against this turn of affairs but there Stanford ia just the same. (Copyright. 1933. N. A N.

Johnny Mulvey, Holy Cross senior and reserve end on the football team, virtually his chance to play in the cMmax game of his career against Boston College at Boston tomorrow when he gave a pint of his blood In a transfusion for his sick father, John F. Mulvey Sr, at St Vincents Hospital this morning. Although weakened, the toy appeared, for final practice this afternoon and hopes that the recuperative powers of youth mrty bring back hi strength overnight.

His father, who haa a stomach ailment, -took a decided turn for the better after the transfusion. with excellent weather likely to pull In a large number of stand uppers. It will be the first time since 1915 that Holy Cross and- Boaton College have tangled on. University Heights terrain. Last years battle was staged at Worcester, the 1931 affair within the Harvard Stadium and previous engagements decorated the sod of local ball orchards.

Individual odds, you say? Well consider Salems Ik Ezmunt. playing left tackle for Boston. His sophomore opponent. Fete Lingua, will outweigh him by 60 pounds. It is rather symbolic of the game itself.

AH 1.1 y-; iZt 9 i' Lingua, James Moran, Anthony Morandos, 1 CRUSADER IN EFFIGY GOES OP IN FLAMES 0, Students HaveParado and Gala Smoker Boston College students and enthu elastic supporters held one of the most exciting an3 novel rallies ever held be fore the annual Boston College-Holy Cross games last evening. Starting at the college grounds at University Heights an automobile parade wendsd Its way to Cleveland Circle, where the first big event of the night took place. Here, amid the cheering and jeering of the large crowd assembled on the playground, the Crusader of Holy Cross was burned In effigy. The Cru sader, all In armor and with a purple robe, looked very realistic in the light of the fire, a the flames licked up around ita wooden steed.

The horse was com posed gf a barrel painted gray with red splotches. A head had been added to one end of the barrel and a long black tail hung jauntily from the rea end. The Crusader himself was com posed of sawdust, encased in a silvered cardboard suit mads to look like Fr Sullivan Praises Team After the Crusader had been eaten up by the flames, the students startel another automobile parade down Beacon st to Charles st under a special police escort. At Charles st the cars were parked and the students marched on foot, led by the Boston College band. The procession went down Charles st to Boylston, Boylston to Tremont, thence to Pemberton Square and the Boston City Club, where the customary Bmoker was held.

The large hall of the City Club was crowded to overflowing with Boston College supporters as Cheer Leader Bill Hayes started the festivities with a number of Boston College cheers. Robert Glennon, president of the Fulton Debating Society and chairman of the smoker. Introduced Fr Francis V. Sullivan, S. faculty of athletics, as the first speaker.

Fr Sullivan spoke briefly on the pride that Boston College took In the faot that it could field a representative team, ready to take its place with tn leading teams in the country and yet he able to point out that every in cn the team was as good In the class- room as he was on the field. He concluded with words of confidence In a Eoston College victory over' Holy Cross in their annual toattie this afternoon. Joe McKenney Confident Probably the most interesting and novel feature of the program was the brief boxing match put on by Georg and Leo Waters, two brothers five and six years old, of Wellesley. These brothers, nicknamed Boston College and Holy Cross and attired in representative Maroon and Gold ond Purple trunks, put on a three-round bout depicting the outcome cf todays game. The most humorous part of the affair was that Leo, representing Holy Cross, displayed a talented left hand which continually jabbed in to the face or Boston College and apparently was the winner of the bout until he took fake dive in the third round.

Tom Scanlon, member of the Boston College Advisory Board of Athletics and fullback on the undefeated team of 1919, sounded a popular not w-hen he brought back memories of the late Maj Frank W. Cavanaugh. Out of respect to his memory the entire audience stood in silence for one minute while Taps waa sounded. Joe McKenney, head football coach, wa the final speaker of the evening and he told of the perfect condition of the players and his confidence In a Boston College win. He termed this present team the most Improved football squad that I have coached la my six years at Boston College." Other speakers Included: Jack Ryder track coach; Bill Kelleher, ex-freshmen coach; Burke Sullivan, secretary of the Alumni Association, and Paul Curley, who represented his father the Mayor, GLOBE WANTS GLOBE DISPLAY ADVTS READ THEM TODAY SARNOFF HBTSiaED Quality better than ever-No Price Rise SQRNOFFHRVING 33) Withliwtoe U.

No last-minute changes came in the plans of the Eagle coach, Joe McKen-ney, who left the club immediately after the close of the last practice session this afternoon. This was the first time the Eagle coach had left here since the squad arrived on Wednesday evening. Dinny McNamara, backfield coach, was left in charge.

McKenney had to make a radio appearance and also apeak at the C. smoker in Boston. The final days workout consisted of a short drill in the morning, in which the players were attired in regular street clothes, while in the afternoon they had an extra long drill in all phases of the game. At this afternoon drill Johnny Freitas and Paul -Flaherty, the forward passing aces of the Eaglee, were given plenty of work in their specialty, with ends and backs, in a seemingly unending stream; going down the field to snare their passes Both youths were in great form, auguring a tough afternoon for the Purple secondary. Freitas, also, put in plenty of time with his punting, for his valuable right foot is expected to orovide the Eagle with another valuable weapon both in attack and defense.

Freitas well-directed boots have put the Eagles in a scoring position many times this season and this same factor may de clde the outcome of tomorrows oon test. Ed Kelly, working with tbe aid of a couple of the managers, vpent many weary hours booting the pigskin from placement. This place-kick special. may come in mignty handy and McKenney is losing no bets in his effort to win this contest. Before retiring for the night, the members of the squad sent a telegram of confidence of Bob Glennon, the chairman of the smoker ild at the City Club.

Curley, graduate manager of athletic at Boston College, haa been Informed by the Boston Elevated that additional service haa been added for fans at the Boaton College-Holy Cross game this afternoon. The additional cars include 1 Five three-car trains from Park at to Lake at, via Commonwealth av, starting at 12:15 m. Six two-car trains running from Lechmere to Lake at, via Commonwealth av, starting at 12:22 pm. Two single cars running on a shuttle system from Cleveland Circle to 'Lake starting at 12:30 m. All these cars will be in addition to the regular service running to Lak and Cleveland eirclt, i Backfield, left to Right Nicholas HOLY GROSS FAVORED IN TODAYS CONTEST v- Continued From the First Page lfinova and Western Maryland, the ffagle hovers over the Newton nest this afternoon with a record over the present cartpalgn which exactly matches that of Worcesters invading Goliaths.

Both have sevemaf the eight opponents on their schedules, Boston losing only to Fordhams high-geared Ram (32-6) and the Cross being humbled only by Detroits boring aerials (24-0). Despite the generahrespect shown Holy Cross'" power-based running game, the fact remains that Dr Eddie Andersons first football team at Worcester has strung its aerial attack into si most important ground-ganing means and, even more, has turned It on most successfully for scoring purposes. The Harvard game was won with a Crusader pass to Nick Morris and Jim Hobin. knifing heaves have played a major role from September right through to the meeting with Boston. Hobin vs Freitas Today One of the personal battles of the game, in fact, involves the Dead Eye Dick pegging of this same Hobin and the mild-mannered Johnny Freitas of Boston College.

Instrumental as Hobins passing has been to Holy Cross progress, he is no better with the aerial beanblower than Bostons pass-flipping marvel. They are so evenly matched in this respect, so utterly dependable with accurate firing, that the defense each eleven employs against them will unravel the question of effectiveness. Hobin and Freitas, furthermore, will contribute the kicking for their respective organizations. The Holy Cross boy pummels a nice kick, lofty and long, but he has yet to provide that masters touch an amazing series of out-of -bound boots. This has been one of Freitas crowning achievements all Fall- The pass played an obvious minor role at Boston College in preliminary battles and first made its appearance as a scoring weapon in the Fordham game, when Freitas deception allowed Capt Frank Maloney to toddle right by Ed Danowskl to clutch a game-tying toes.

Agqinst Boston University, Paul Flaherty unleashed an aerial bombardment which rocked the university and ever since that time the Eagle has passed frequently and well. Weight Against Speed I have a hunch, howeyer, that McKenney will not instruct his team to unleash its passing stuff as its main threat. Boston has a sound running game at its disposal and a number of fast, if not sensational, backs. Holy Cross ha the weight and the power to throw in front of its runners, but the Crusader leather carriers are inferior to Bostons as speedboys. Freitas, in the open, is the most talented on either aquad and Ed Driscoll, Boston's starting fullback, the fastest In the matter of health theres no real handicap to allot either.

Little Tommy Callan, Worcesters ranking signal chirper during the past month or more, was stowed away in a Worcester hospital several days past with an infected leg. Springfields Tommy OConnor will direct this Notre Dam-ish outfit, but Callan is in shape to play some football. The Eagle has never been so robust and so brimming with energy as at this time. Kid Injury, you know, battered and banged Boston to a fare-thee-well this Fall. At the very outset McKenney lost Tommy Brennan, 190-pound sophomore fullback, and a beauty.

Then Billy Fenlon, crack little quarter, broke a On top of that came an injury to Ted Galligan, 205-pound tackle who was slated for string as a sophomore. Injury after injury piled up and you Xnust' doff your Fall fedora with considerable flourish to the Eagle for its great season in face of personnel disaster. Tom Kelley at End Iron Man" football has been something very immediate to the denisons of Mt St James this Fall and as a result Boston today will have a larger number of gentlemen available who have been dipped Into the fires of competition. That large Crusader line has played Intact through most of its games, including its windup affair with Springfield wherein but two reserves were used in the dying momenta. A big broth of a boy from Brookline Tom Kelley will start at right end for Holy Cross.

He has returned to the lineup for the first time In nearly a month. Clem McCann, the 162-pound Somerville lad, stepped into Kelley berth during that period and plugged the dike In the face of gushing tides of end Injury because Hyde Parks Lien Avery was Vt the sama time buffeted into the Injury list.

A simple quick which yet is a good gainer, because of the accuracy of the timing, is shown in the diagram. A full spinner is worked from this same set-up, by the way, and makes a fine check for the reverse.

The ball is snapped to 3 who takes a step to his-right and gives the ball to 4, crossing over left. No. 3 makes a full spin and drives in toward tackle, a feint which covers 4, the real carrier, who runs outside tackle, being protected by 2. who blocks- the da-fensfee right -end outside, and 1 and 7, who provide interference. The left end blocks in the defensive right tackle alone, but a double block ia put on the defensive right guard by 8 and 9.

Penn, Dec 1 (A. Nelson A. Kellogg, director of athletics at Lehigh University, today announced the appointment of Glen Har-meson, assistant football coach at Purdue University, as coach at Lehigh. The announcement said Harmeson signed a three-year contract. The salary was not revealed.

It is understood he will be engaged at Lehigh the year round. Native of Indianapolis, Harmeson succeeds A. Austin Tate, grid mentor at Lehigh for the last seven years. Harmeson was graduated from Purdue in 1930 and for the last two years has been first assistant to Noble Kizer. For two seasons after his graduation he was freshman coach.

PERFECT FIELD CONDITIONS 1 ASSURED AT HEIGHTS TODAY Perfect ground underfoot can be assured for the Boston College and Holy Cross gridaters when they meet this afternoon In their annual classic, if an examination of the turf at Alumni Field last night can be taken as a criterion. The field has been covered by hay for the past three days and last night the ground was In better condition than it has been for any game this season. ARMY NAVY SWIMMERS RACE OLNEYVILLE TONIGHT The Army end Navy Y. M. C.

In the 100-yard event, John Meany of the home team 'will oppose Olney-vllles strongest threat in Chrostkow-skl, present holder of the New England 100-meter and 'one-mile open championships.

Meany and Mazaka will race in the backstroke, while the breaitstroke will have Can aad Powers, Ramblers Last Shot This will also be Notre Dames final bid in her most disastrous season, her last chance to pour ointment into numerous wounds.

And that also means something with a team which still has a lot left in the way of potential strength and rugged force. This has been one of the best Army teams of many years smart, fast, ably coached, replete with the keenest sort of spirit. Buckler and Johnson have been two of the leading stars, but team play has featured its work all year as it came to the last drive for an unbeaten mark. Tiger to Win by 20 to 7 Dear Sir Today the attention of fqotball fans is centered on one of the biggest of the annual classics, the Yale-Princeton game. The interest aroused by this struggle is perhaps greater than it has been for several years.

For Princeton it is the climax of an undefeated season; for Yale it will be an opportunity to vindicate its defeat of last week, and forxboth it will be another chapter In an important volume of gridiron history With the notable exception of the Roman holiday at New Haven two years ago, Yale-Princeton games have been traditionally close, the dog invariably playing better football than It seemed capable of earlier in the season. Then, too, the record is not so overwhelmingly in favor of Princeton as one might at first think. None of the teams the Tiger has downed has tied or defeated Yale. One more factor should be included to demonstrate that Princeton has no reason to expect a walkover. The Bull Dog has always been a jinx for the Tiger.

Some of the best of Princeton teams have' suffered ignominious defeat kt the hands of Yale. The records show that Yale is the only team Which Princeton has met in more than four encounters that has registered more victories than, has the Tiger, and it has achieved this record by a safe margin of 30 to 17. Now, having established that the game might have unexpected results, let me contradict myself. I have followed the Princeton team pretty closely this season, in practice as well as in actual concest. It la an excellent team with a tremendous reserve power, and it goes to New Haven today without the handicap of the loss of a single important plk-yer.

"Defensively, I cannot remember ever having seen a team that could surpass it. The only possible weakness 1 its pass defense, and no op starting lineup, participating in his first game for the Purple. Settled in the Boston starting lineup are Joe Killelea and Paysant" Tosi, ends; Ike Ezmunt, tackle; Greg Sullivan, center; Johnny Freitas, Bobby Ott and Capt Frank Maloney in the backfield, all of whom will play their last bit of football at University Heights. On paper, at least, Bostons chance 4 depend entirely upon the success it enjoys in fighting back the giant rushlins which It faces. The situation calls for some clever shuffling of reserves on the part of Joe McKenney and he has the reserves at his command right now that he didnt have at the Polo Grounds against Fordham on Oct 31.

Terrific Task for Tosi Buzz Harvey, naturally, is the biggest thorn in Bostons path and in matching the slashing Tosi against him, the College has high hopes of quieting that cyclone at left tackle. It fa a terrific taskfor any end. The Crusader will field a starting rushling this afternoon averaging 205 pounds to the man, fully 15 pounds per participant over the opposing frontier. And It is generally believed that only some miraculous labor on the part of Bostons forward can stem the powerful thrusts of Worcesters steel-limbed backs behind a human wall such as this one la. On a dry field the Eagle can play beautiful football and pull a close verdict out of a raging battle.

On a wet field its chances are slim, very slim indeed. So this afternoon Holy Cross will have a varying range as a favorite, being placed in such a position because of its wins over Harvard and Brown and that glgantio line. The gathering, according to last minute forecast, will approach 25,000.
