" SPORTS .fi(!tholic University : G=W. SHOWS UP WELL ! oes. ‘& DESPITE LOSS OF G CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY’S rather mediocre showing against the University of Richimond was the only disappointment suffered by local foct ball teams in the opening of their schedules Saturday. Georgetown and Maryland won their games, 7 to 0 and 3 to 0, and while George Washington was defeated its loss should not occasion any “blue” feelings around the downtown institution, as it was never expected to win from Virginia's veteran combination. On the other hand, Catholic University was thought to have developed its team to a point where the ganie with Richmond was a miatter only of the number of points by which the Brooklanders would win. o e T FOR KNICK GRID TEAM that it did show considerable strength at times on the offense and that its Six mes have been scheduled for the foot ball team of the Knicker- defense was such that on straight foot ball Richmond could not make bocker Club.

South ‘End Athletic Club, 18 to 6, . Maryland Jolts Rutgers. Maryland's victory over Rutgers was very much of a surprise to the latter institution. and probably many of the fermer's followers. Rutgers, as an official of that institution ex- pressed it shortly after the contest, “expected a hard -game, -but thought we would win by about two touch- downs.” The game was a remarkable exhibition of the use of the punt as an offensive play. Maryland never attempted to rush the ball more than twice consecutive- Iy at any time during thegame, and most of the times it had the ball ran only one play before punting, and + more often still punted on first down. In contrast to this. Rutgers used up {ts full quota of three downs at all times before kicking, and yet Mary- Jand probably gained a third more Zround during the afternoon than did the New Jersey eleven. Their Outlook is Bright. For all four of the teams which got gnto action Saturday the future seems 0 hold out high hopes of other suc- cesses between now and Thanksgiv- ing day. Georgetown has the ma- terial. and Coach Exendine needs only a little more time to round it into a very effective machine; George Wash- ington’s play against Virginia indi- cates that it is going to be sufficiently strong to cope at’least on even terms with practically all the remaining elevens on its schedule; Catholic Uni- versity, though defeated, presented evidences of -1atent power which is likely to be well devoleped before the season is half gone, and the Univer- sity of Maryland undoubtedly has a combination that. barring injuries to several players, will be hard for any other team to beat. Bix Three Are Tested. Harvard and Yale were hard pushed %0 win from Holy Cross and Vermont by low scores. The Crimson repeated its score of last year by winning, 3 10 0, after a game in which the losers had the better of the rushing. le found Vermont's defense difficult and won only because it was sufficiently powerful to wear down the defense of the eleven which had less of beef and physcial strength. Princeton turned the trick again on Swarthmore by just a little better score than it did a year ago. In 1920 the Tigers took the contest by 17 to 6, and Saturday they got the long end of 2 21-to-7 count. And in connection with Princeton’s defeat of Swarthmore, it will be in- teresting to Washingtonlans to know that Dick Newby, former Central star, played no small part in the Tiger of- fense. Newby got away on a long run for a touchdown and threw a for- ward pass which resulted in another. Loeal Boys Do Well. Local men figured in the games played by Georgetown, Catholic U. George Washington and Marylau Byrne, former Gonzaga man, was a fullback, and Buck Wise at end for Georgetown; Fitzgerald, another Gon- #aga player, held down a halfback’s position for C.

Without in the least disparaging the work of the other five local high school men who helped Maryland spread a blue pall around New Bruns- wick, two youngsters who appeared in their first college games deserve imuch credit for their performances. Jack McQuade, former Eastern full- back, and Ed Pugh, who used to do tkings at the same position for Tech. are the young men who distinguished themselves against older, heavier and more experienced players, the former |4 at fullback and the latter at end, a position entirely new to him. Under real fire for the first time, neither McQuade nor Pugh showed any signs of anything other than a belief that they were as good as anybody until somebody proved something different. Groves and B. Brewer of Western, Bailey of Central and Clark and Moore of Tech completed the seven. Of the other four members of the Maryland team which started Nisbet, Gundry and Plassnig hail from Bal- timore Polytechnic Institute and Branner from the eastern shore of Maryland. Play to Form in South. Alabama and Alabama Poly won théir games Saturday without diffi- culty, as did practicaily all the other big southern schools. Centre College and Clemson engaged in what. by the score, was a real hit, the former win ning by two touchdowns. Washing- ton and Lee swamped Randolph-Ma- con and V. P. L defeated by 14 to 0. without much ¢rouble, the highly touted Willlam and Mary team, and North Carolina took Wake Forest into camp. 21 to 0. Georgla and Georgia Tech were easy victors over Mercer and Oglethorpe. The one poor showing by a south- ern eleven was that of North Caro- lina State against the Naval Acad- emy. Virginia Military Institute showed something of its last years power when it rolled up 32 points on Hampden-Sidney, which V. P. I barely defeated last week by 14 to 7. Army was not no successful as Har- vard with its double-header games. It caught a tartar in the New Hamp.- shire State eleven, and lost by 7 to 10 after defeating Springfield College by 28 to 6. It was mostly reserves who took part in the second and losing contest.

WAIT FOR CLEAR DAY T0 DECIDE NET TITLE Clarence Charest, Dumbarton Club Baltimore racketer, and Maj. Arthur Yencken, present title holder, who were scheduled to play on the Dumbarton courts this afternoon in the final match of the men's singles in the District tennis championship, will hold their titular clk tomorrow or the first clear day thereafter. The courts, due to rain, were not in condi- tion for the match this afternoon. In yesterday's play in the men's doubles Yencken and Jack Dudley, Swarthmore College player, took two matches and advanced to the semi- final round, where they will meet Charest and Al Gore. Dudley also scored in the mixed doubles class, where, with Miss Marywill Wake- ford, he vanquished Miss McCallum and John Temple Graves.

T ] Only Local Eleven to Disappoint Saturday : Praise for Maryland CUBS, IN 1908, ANNEXED FLAG IN CLOSEST RACE THE greatest pennant race in the history of organized base ball was BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, October 3—That the foot as a factor in foot ball has not vanished was impressively demonstrated in at least two games last Saturday. The superior punting of Amherst in the Columbia game paved the way for the victory of the Berkshire men, while kicking as fine as the writer has witnessed in years served to win the day for Maryland University against Rutgers at New Brunswick. - It was whispered concerning Maryland that she would send north a well coached eleven, and she did. A defense so crashing, so fiery, so un- erring and so comprehensive in its scope is seldom marked in any team this early in the season. The linemen knifed through their more stalwart opponents with determined fury, which was matched only by the hurtling tackles of the backs and ends. If Maryland has an attack commensurate with her defense she will go far this But against Rutgers it was not necessary for Maryland to produce a running offense. She as punter a young man named Brooke Brewer. When Maryland had the ball she gave it to Brewer and he would hoist flaw- lessly beautiful punts which went epiraling down the fleld forty-five to sixty yards. With the aims of Mary- land clear, Rutgers, nevertheless, ket only one’ man back to receive the Walter Kinsella, professional of the Squash Club of New York, as- sisted yesterday in the dedication of the new Racquet Club, meeting Otto Glockler, local professional, and de- feating him in a close and brilliantly played squash tennis match, 9—I15, 156—12, 15—13 and 18—17. Kinsella, who is the national professional champion, had the advantage through superior ' generalship, but Glockler proved himself a hard hitter and & persistent getter. Christ Child Nines to Play. Christ Child Soclety nines will play in a double-header at American League Park Thursday afternoon, the Juniors meeting the Aztecs while the Midgets will be pitted against the Linworths. Gate receipts will be added to the so- ciety's Christmas fund for gifts for chil- dren of the poor. Gentillucci and_Gennalla will do the pitching for the Christ Child teams, the season. punts. Eventually the break came. an elusive bounding ball getting by the Jersey quarterback and placing the Marylanders in a position near their rivals’ goal whence it was an easy matter for Brewer to put over the winning drop kick. Foster Sanford, the Rutgers' coach. put on at least one novel offensive method. The right or left tackle would take position at the extremity of the line and at the snapping of the ball would charge into the secondary defense, laterally. It might have worked well had not the tackles chested in instead of launching them- selves in such manner as not to take out the tacklers. Upon one occasion a Maryland line- man downed a Rutgers back near the side lines. He put him down hard. and as the back started to roll the Maryland lineman forced him to the ground ruggedly enough. but not M a dirty manner or with intention to injure. As the tackler rose to his feet, his Fands down. a great hulking Rutgers lineman struck him in the jaw. knocking him cold. The Rutgers coach came up and spoke to the Maryland players group- ed about their unconscious comrade. Later officials of the game assured the writer that he was mistaken in his impression that Sanford was apolo- gizing for the brutal act. But this Fardly seems possible, for in before- the-game talks to his team Sanford has been heard repeatedly and force- fully warning his players to remem- ber in all things that they were rep- resenting the “highest type of Amer ican manhood. the college-bred man and that they must remember thi ® former working against Hollis of the Linworths.
