Rutgers meets Ursinus, and the very fact that the latter put over an un- expected victory in the game lz_s[ is sufficient to justify a predic- tion that Rutgers will win by at least a very decisive margin. While among the, bigger schools of the country, speaking from a stand- point of foot ball, no games give in- dication of much in the way of real competition, it is possible that two contests. in the south may cause two state universities considerable worry ‘before they are finished, notwith- standing that ordinarily both the uni- versities would be favored to win. Virginia in Davidson may meet a more seasoned foe than it expects, and North Carolina possibly will have in Clemson College an eleven strong enough to give it even more of a Fame than it desires. Prospects are that Davidson should be exception- ally strong and that Clemson is likely 10 be weaker than usual. North Carolina State College should f not have much difficulty taking the long end of the score from Randolph- Macon in its contest at Raleigh. and likewise, Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tute and Virginia Military Institute bid fair. to clear their fieids of dust at the expense of players wearing the uniforms _of Hampden-Sidney ¥ Roanoke College. inst Hobart. scheduled in Not a_game is or zround Washington, all local ] and the Naval Academy being listed to appear ¥ pening cont October 1.

With a nucleus of five regu- lars and three substitutes of the 1920 eleven and a player who starred with the team in 1919, the wily mentor ex- pects to develop’ a combination aver- aging in weight more than 150 pounds nd possessing such speed and foot ball knowledge that will make it a really formidable contender. Of "last year's regulars there are available “Capt. Prender, versatile quarterback: Herzog, all-high tackle; pper, a husky guard; O'Dea. fast- arging center, and Leonard, a Harrison, end; Motyka, nd Meyers, back. are 1920 titutes at practice. Brown, who layed a strong game with the 1919 line, but was kept out of the game by {llness last season, also is out and probably will be used in the backfleld. Among the promising newcomers are Whitsell, Moran, Allen and Leitch- field, backs, and Roudabush, back and end.” All told, Guyon has thirty boys in his first team squad and a host of youngsters who are anxious to make a 135-pound team that Kastern will have in the field. The first eleven will be sent into ifs initial game next Tuesday, when it is scheduled to meet St. John's in Potomac Park. Play will start at 3 o'clock.

Tim Jordan has become a member of the American Professional Foot Ball As- sociation, followers of the gridiron sport here are likely to be treated to some interesting exhibitions at American League Park this fall. The association includes twenty-two of the best professional elevens in the country, and several of these will be brought to Washington to face the local combiration. The association has done much to popularize :he game as played by paid_gridmen. Its teams are cem- Posed of the best players to be found outside of the colleges, and games between member elevens are con- ducted under uniform conditions. It aims to elevate the standard of foot ball generally and frowns upon the tampering with undergraduate col- lege players as practiced by some Pprofessional Interests. : The Washington eleven has been going through rudimentary drills un- der the direction of Coach Jack Hegarty for the past week and will get some scrimmaging Mondauy. Most {of the players under contract have reported for training and several star performers will join the squad before the end of another week. —_— RD ELEVEN HARD HIT AS STARS FAIL TO RETURN Howard University’s foot ball squad will be sent into scrimmages next week in preparation for the opening game with Virginia Theological Semi- nary and College at Lynchburg, Oc- tober 8. The gridmen have been sent through rudimentary drill during this week under the direction of Coach Morrison. The coach is confronted with the problem of developing almost an en- tirely new eleven. While most of the remaining letter men of last' year have returned, the absence of Carter, last’year's star pilot, who is yet ex- pected to return; Brannon, Hurt and Lawrence is keenly felt.

This became known when | Jimmy Daugherty arrived here from | his home in Pennsylvania. | Kilbane is in luck. Daugherty of Liepersville is not the sort of man that one commonly associates with the job of managing a fighter He suggests bigger things, and as a mat- ter of tact he does, and will continue to do bigger things in_the way of | business and the like. This is to say that the work of swinging Kilbane's pugilistic destiny will be merely one of his jobs. The featherweight champion's pres- ent unpopularity has been due to what might be termed insutAcient manage- ment. He has not been handled or dvised In a way to insure that pub- lic following which a champion should bhave. Daugherty will see to this Not only that, but he may be expected to arrange for Kilbane's appearance more than once in the Madison Square Garden ring this winter.
