    Stagg Still Has Punch. a MOS ALONZO STAGG appar- ~ emily still has some coaching knowledge and still is young enough to apply it on the field Of play by imparting it to others. At least, his little College Of Pacific team went over to Los Angeles Saturday and held Howard Jones Southern California outfit to a 6-to-0 score. That really was something of an achievement for Stagg. 1t was thought that Stanford would have trouble with Santa Clara and 1t did. The best it could get out Of the game was tie, 7 to 7. Army and Navy came through in their opening games, each scoring three touchdowns. Navy, though, had one scored against it. The Soldiers picked on Washburn College while Navy caused William and Mary to bite the dust. Berries played such mag nificent game for Navy that it was claimed he should rank this season with the best all-time Navy backs. If he measures up to the kind OF back his coach was he will not be doing so poorly by any means. Navy has had few more consistently good backs than Tom Hamilton was. This apparently is to be Bob Neylands last season as coach at the Uni verSity Of Tennessee. Report has 1t that he has been ordered to Panama for duty with the Army Corps of Engineers stationed there. Neyland in the eight years he has been at Ten nessee has been one of the most Sue cessful coaches in the whole country. Unquestionably Neyland not only knows foot ball, but also knows how to teach 1t.
