ey L SPORTS. EORGETOWN ENGAGES IN ONLY CONTEST HERE; (F GRIDMENATCENTRE BY H. C. BYRD. OCAL colleges, while there may be some changes at the last minute, have about decided upon the line-ups they will send into their opening foot ball games tomorrow. Georgetown intends to use at least two full teams against Lebanon Valley, but Catholic University, George Washington and Maryland probably will send about the strongest evens they can muster into their contests right at the beginning and ep them intact as long as they stand “the gaff.” eorgetown probably will start its Ssme with a team including five vet- erans. Wise and Zazelli, ends; Com- steck, guard, and Capt. Flavin, haif- ack, who played with the Blue and Gray last year, and McQuade, half- back, and leader of the 1919 team, are slated for the opening line-up. Among the newcomers likely to get a chance ashow their worth under fire are Sweeney and Butler, tackles; Kimball, guard; Les Lauries, center, Du Four, quarterback, and Byrne, fullback. ‘Two D. C. Boys ine-Up. For the first time years there will be two Washington athletes on the Georgetown eleven. Wise was a leader in all sports while attending Business High, while Byrne made Edod with a vengeance at foot ball and basket ball with teams at Gon- saga High School. “Jack Gass of Lehigh, veteran grid- iron official. will referee the contest. The umpiring will be done by Charley Guyon, former Carlisle player, and John Thomas of Lafayette will be linesman. The game will be played at * American League Park, starting at 3 o'clock. €. U. Appears Stromg. -Catholic_ University has a team made up of the best of last year's out- fit and several new men of excep- tlonal worth. Corwin is back on end, while Lynch, who held down the oth- €r flank position in_ 1920, is due to y guard against Richmond in the *Pening game of 1921. Keeler, a vet- ran, is at the other guard and Bren- nan and Eberts, tackle and center, re- Spectively. a vear ago, are to hold the same positions now. Curran, 1920 full: back, again is in_that position. whilé McKeon. Yeager, Buckley, Connell and Fitzgerald, newcomers, are playing tackle. end. quarter and the two halt- batk berths. McKeon comes from Detroit. Yeager Pennsylvania, Buckley from wa, Fitzgerald from Gonzaga Col- . lom ® lege and Connell from Philadelphia. G. W. Line-Up Unnettled. George Washington still is in doubt about one guard position, center, and “one halfbac job for the game against Virginia. It is certain, though, that Ptak and Shaw will be on the ends; Hart and Hawley, tac- Xles; Walter at one guard and Sco- ela, Springston and Loehler in the Yackfield. All these are experienced Zmen, and Hatchetite supporters be- :Meve the team is going to show about §0 per cent more strength this year an last. ‘Hawley and Walter played the po- :dftions they are in last year, but Hart § a newcomer at tackle and is a brother of the Wayne Hart who played at George Washington in 1808 and 1909 and later held down a job the Georgetown eleven. Hart was a-tackle at Clemson three years ago. w formerly held down an end job Swarthmore and Ptak played foot 11 in Arkansas. *“Incidentally, Ptak is a foot ball ‘player of no mean ability. If he does ‘not make a name for himself at end performances in practice are not icative of his real worth. Tough Game for Maryland. niversity of Maryland will send lght regulars of the eleven who beat Syracuse last year into its game with ‘Rutgers tomorrow at New Brunswiek. Bfanner, right end; Clark, right tae- kle; Bailey, cenger; Moore, left guard; Nisbet, left tackle; Groves, quarter- dack; Plassnig, left half, and Brewer, right half, are the men from the 1920 m who will line up against the let mountain of flesh which ia %kmown as the Rutgers eleven. . The three positions at left end, right ‘mdard and fullback, made vacant by fhe graduation of Eppley, Sullivan fnd Mackert, are to be filled by Pugh, Gundry and McQuade. Pugh was the stellar light for Technical High last year, Gundry held down the duties of substitute center, and McQuade was the mainspring of the 1920 freshman eleven. A squad of twenty-three players will make the trip to New Brunswick, and is due to leave Wash- ington today at noon. Maryland Freshmen to Play. Maryland's freshman eleven is due to open its season tomorrow at Col- lege Park with the team representing Emerson Institute. The game will be started at 3 o'clock. The remainder of the freshman schedule is: October 8, Charlotte Hall; 15, Virginia Fresh- men; 29, Baltimore Polytechnic; No- vember 5, Army and Navy Preps; 12, Technical. About thirty-five men are trying to earn positions on the fresh- man eleven, among them being some exceptionally green material and some very good former high school players. Hits Officials and Coaches. Mike Thompson, probably one of the best referees foot ball has ever pro- duced, and who. besides teaching at Mount St. Mary's College, conducts a newspaper at Emmittsburg, Md.. in an editorial takes a hot shot at the attitude of some of the officials and coaches in relationship to penalties, etc. Here is what Thompson says. and there is more than an element of truth in his observations: “The shift plays seemed to come in for much discussion, and to our mind a great deal of it was uncalled for. The rules on these plays and forma- tion appear perfectly clear and the officials if they are on the job should have very little trouble in seeing whether the men are in motion or not before the ball is put in play. The trouble is that some officials do not care to see it. and as long as such men are selected to handle games why should coaches desire to make a holler and have rules changed? “The rules are now in a very satis- factory condition, but what the game needs is officials that have the deter- mination and baeckbone to not only enforce the rules, but also to make a study of the game and carry it on the way it should be and not be look- ing forward to catering to certain coaches, so that they ‘will be sure of officiating jobs in the future. No wonder that some of the officials that have been Handling games for years are ready to quit. They are getting tired of watching this small-town po- litical stuft.” S. A. HILL AND DALE RACE ASSIGNED TO WASHINGTON Hill and dale runners of this sec- tion will compete for the South At- lantic A. A. U. cross-country cham- pionship here November 19. The an- nual event was awarded to Wash- ington yesterday by the South At- lantic association. Under a new rul- ing, unattached athletes may not compete, only members of clubs af- filiated with the South Atlantic A. A. U. being eligible. The race probably will be held in Brookland, starting and finishing at Catholic University. - Aloysius Club is training a ad for a drive at the team title. $5.000 Race to Single G. CHESTERVILLE, Ontario, Septem- ber 30.—Single G, champion pacer of the United States, owned by William Barfoot of Cambridge, Ind., showed his heels to Canada's fastest pacer, Romala, in two heats of a_ speci: harness race for a purse of §5,000 yesterday. The times were 2.15 and 2 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1921, SPORTS. 31 Il Local Foot Ball Teams Get Into Action Tomorrow far the First Time This Season MORAN TAKES CHARGE Uncle Charles Moran, who has been calling the good and bad ones in the Natlonal League since last April, has taken hold of the Centre College foot ball squad. From Danville has come a rumor that ‘this will be Moran’s last year as mentor of Centre's gridiron destinies. Report has it that Bo Me- Millin received an offer of the post for 1922, and has it under consideration. Tiny Thornhill, who played three years in a tackle berth at Pittsburgh. is now applying Glenn Warner's pre- cepts of line play to the Centre for- wards. All Danville is hoping that he will be able to remedy the gravest de- fect that appeared in the play of the Kentuckian$ last season. October will be a month of inter- sectional games. Eastern, southern and western elevens will come to grips all over the map shortly and results in many cases are likely to be significant in determining the final rating. The Chicago-Princeton game at Nassau October 22 will attract un- usual attention. Last year the Mid- way team was regarded as the best defensive, outfit in the big tem, but lacking fn offensive weapons. This| season it already is clear that the Maroons will show Improvement on attack while retaining their ability to check opponents. Princeton has not met a conference eleven since the organization of the big ten. And filed away in the archives at Nassau is precious little information concerning methods of play in the middle west. But the Maroons in their games against Northwestern and Purdue will be well scouted by Tiger experts. As for Chicago, it is said that Norgren, as. sistant coach, will attend Princeton’s game at Annapoli: Georgin Tech and Georgin Univer- sity, whose rivalry is so bitter that they do not have foot ball relations, are slowly drawing together in bonds of friendship. There i3 a plan now afoot to have Georgia and Dartmouth play their November 26 game on Grant Field, Tech's area, at Atlanta. The season of the Yellow Jackets ends November 24. Coach Glenn Warmer, who has been steadlly pointing the Pitt team for the Lafayette game, probably will send the following line-up against the Eastonians: Bowser, center; Sack and Seidelson or Peters. guards: Har- man and McLean, tackles; Stein and Williams, ends: Holleran, quarter- back; Capt. Davies and Hartnett or Anderson, halfbacks, and Hewitt, fullback. The line would be heavy, yet speedy, and the backfield the best balanced the Panthers ever have pre- sented. Quite an addition was made to the Virginia Tech coaching staff last week with the arrival of Lieut. Corn- man Hahn, who will have charge of the engineering unit of the students' army training corps at the institute. Hahn was one of the greatest half- backs that ever wore an Army uni- | form and played in the backfield with Elmer Oliphant at the Point in 1917. He will assist Coach Younger with the backs and ends and will have fuil charge of all the kicking candidates. With only a few days remaining before the Washington and Jeffer- son game, the foot ball situation at Bucknell Unlversity still is very un- settled, especially in regard to open guard and tackle positions and a half- iback job. The coaches have sorted and shifted candidates and are not very optimistic_about the prospe:ts for the clash with the Presidents. 1 The addition of Lawson Robertson to the coaching staff of Penn's foot ball team has won much favorable comment.“This is the first year Robert- son has taken an active part in the conditioning of the men. Last year several of the players went stale un- der the strain of the big midseason games. Coach Heisman wishes to avold that this year and for that reason Robertson has been added to the staff.
