MUST LINE GAME TO BECOME BEAI FOOTBALL STAB Genuine Enjoyment of Grid Sport Necessary if Player Would Make a Success. Bv AUBREY DETISE AlUAmeriea liti. Captain loiea 1921, ''Bii] Ten" Champion A genuine liking for football is a most necessary quality if a player hopes to be a star. Trae, some fotoball playors reach stardom who are not erszy about thè strenuous game fUnusual naturai abllity niakes it i ers would be òf far greater value to their team if they really liked thè sport. Wlth thè liking for thè game goes thè determlnation Some will cali K cerve, others wlll use thè trifle vul \ gar yet very apDEVINE proprlate word, “guts.” Must Like Game Success in college football reste upon thè sanie broad foundatlon as does success In any other line of endeavor. If a man does not enjoy playing football for lts own sake and is not possessed of thè wlll power to perfect himself In thè game to thè very Umlt of hls capacity to do so, he can no more expect to reap thè rewards of a euccessful football ca reer than be could expect to be successful in any other line of work in which he rnlght engagé in a half bearted manner. In other words he must be willing to pay thè prlce. Flnally, to suiti it all up In answer to thè question. "Why high school stars do not make good In college." we may say that some never were stars, while other reai stars lose thelr athletic abllity before they getto college. elther because they were “burned out” In high school by too much work, or because they are Just naturally athletic in thelr teens and “old" men In thelr twenties. Stili other high school stars fall In college because thè dlversifled llfe of college causes them to scatter thelr attention and energleß upon so many and varied interests. Not thè least of these varied lnterests are glrls and "dates.” As a re sult thè classroom and thè football fleld are equally neglected. and thè erstwhlle high school star becomes a mediocre man on thè last strlng of thè squad. In brief. granting that thè high school star has thè potentlallties requisite for him to make thè varslty. he must devote his undivided attention to a two-part curriculum of studles and football. If he would continue his high school success In football on through hle college career. Zellers Want Games The Zeller A. A.’e desire a game for Sunday, Oct. 29.

Fi ve Captains on Catholic Squad ONE reason for the remarkable success of the Notre Dame 'football baain.s is the versatillty of the men with whom Coach RockmW égcperiments. On the squad of 1922. for instance, are sound the c;Aj%urs of the Ave impor tant athletic teams of the university. Paul Castner, tuli back and all-American prospect because of his runnlng, passlng, punting and drop-kicking abllity, ls captain of the baseball team. Last year he. pitehed a no-hit, no-ran victory over Purdue and shut out Michigan, 5 to 0. He captained the hockey team for two seasons. Gus Desch, right half back, whose running against Rutgers was a sensatlon at the Polo Grounds last year, is captaln of the track • team. He ls world’s Champion in the 440-vard low hurdles and fortyyard low hurdles and was a member of the 1920 Olympic team of the United States. Micky Rane, candidate for left half back, who featured the openfng game wlth a tlfty-yard run through the Kalamazoo team, is bas-ket-ball captain and third baseman on the baseball team. Both Kane and Castner were approached by big league scouts aster the end of the 1921 baseball season. but each passed up the professional game for one more year In college. Nell Flinn, who stepped into the right guard posltion when Eddie Degree had a shoulder torn, captained the hockey team which won the itndisputed western college title last year. In addition to the captains twelve other men on the squad have won letters in other sport than football. Thls number wlll be greatly lncreased by the end of the year when the flock of sophomores who wlll win football monograms thls season will have had an opportunity to shlne In other sports. Notre Dame was scheduled to meet Georgia Tech Saturday.

ATLANTIC FLEET ERIO TITLE IS WOIBYDELAWARE Former Naval Academy Player ls Star of Gam —Played at Polo Grourds. Ba WESTBROOK PEOLER United Xetcs Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The price of coal makes no differene® at all to th gobs of the Battleship Maryland. First placshe doesn't bum coal; second place, they wouldn’t hav® to buy it if she did, and third place, they couldn’t buy enough at a nickel a ton to maka an ambitious smudge if they had to. For the Maryland’ pay roll was spurlos Xersenkt at the Polo Grounds Frlday afternoon when the team from thè Battleship Delaware beat the flagship’s team, 13 to 6, for the football championship of the Atlantic fleet. Hillary P. Jones, the temporarily four-starred admiral commanding tha Atlantic fleet, and Rear Admiral George Williams, ehief of staff, aat on the side linea or paced up and down behin •' the board barriere surrounding the gridiron throughout a game which lasted almost two hours, watch-* ing thè turbulent process by whioh a month’s pay was transferred from th®' gobs of the Maryland to the Dela-ì ware gobs for no value received whatever. Fi ve thousand blue jackets and about 6,000 cirillans exposed them-j selve to the chills of incipient wlnter, to see the championship settled. Ad-, mira! Jones got away with an attitudej of diplomatic dlslnterest, but hls per-, sonai flag fiies from the mighty new, Maryland, the headquarters boat of the riot regatta, and, therefore, h®, may be pardoned if some few dollara of his own went down with the ship. 1 Ensign at Quarter Ensign H.

In the third quarter, however, second class gunner’s mate, named Masica, playing right half for the Maryland, permltted a punt from the Delaware to roll away from him and watched a thlrd-class flreman named Eastman, playing right guard for the Drlawaro, flop over lt behlnd the goal posts for the flrst touchdown and flrst score. Ensign Rawlings kleked the goal. Masica almost atoned for hle faiiure when he smashed through the Delaware's line a few mlnutes l&ter fot a twenty-yard gain and a touchdewn with two of th® Delaware tacklere riding on his shoulder blades. { Masica’. kick for goal was blocked, ! however.
