The mainder of the Marylanders who plaved against the Gobblers came out of the game in good condition Maryvland’'s group of quarterback candidate are likely to be drilled intensively this week, for it was poor generalship, more than any thing else, that spoiled the Old Line team's chances for a win over the Blacksburg men. Backfleld play was faulty. too. Particular attention will be paid to these defects by Coach Byrd and his assistants during the next few days. The advantage of kicking off instead of receiving. also will be impressed upon the Black and Gold. To score over the Tarheels, Maryland will need a well polished team, for North Carolina has shown that it is not to be despised on the gridiron this fall. That Catholie University did not beat Mount St. Mary's more decisive- 1y last Saturday at Emmitsburg was! due to poor judgment in selection of plays and fumbling at critical mo- ments, according to athletic authority. The Maroon and Black amassed much yardage, regi “;tering about six times as many fir: downs as did the Mountaineers, but at times when well under way, need- lessly resorted to overhead attack, and_on other occasions, when deep fn Mount St. Mary's territory, lo: the ball through fumbles.

MAWMM | TO WIN FROM PRINCETON A NNAPOLIS, October 22—Chagrin over the decisive defeat by the Pennsylvania State on Saturday is rapidly being dispelled by de- termination at the Naval Academy. of the Navy contingent is looking toward the Princeton game in Balti- | In particular, every member more next Saturday as offering an opportunity to turn the trend of the | season. It is recognized that dreams of a place among the leading college elevents this season have been shattered, but there still is confidence that the Navy team will make a reasonably creditable place for itself. It i thought that the material is as good as it has had for years, and that it will be brought to an effective state. The defeat by State and the destruc- | tion of its hopes of coliegiate leader- | ship has turned the thoughts of mem- | bers of the Naval contingent back to| the game against the Military Acad- | emy, which is the real contest of the| year for the Navy. Many think that| the defeat comparatively early in the season will demonstrate weaknesses Plenty of Rivalry. Princeton, also, smarting under an | overwhelming defeat by Notre Dame | on Saturday, will, it Is belleved, make a desperate effort to make @& new start by winning from the midship- men. In fact, the teams and those | connected with them, will doubtless understand exactly the feellngs of their opponents, and this will add to the spirit of the game in Baltimore. There is plenty of rivalry between the two teams, and_this will insure a notable contest even if they have | been eliminated from high rank this | Playing the first game since | 1911, Princeton won from the mid- | shipmen at Princeton in 1920 by 14 to 0. The next year, the teams play- ing in Annapolis, the Naval Academy won by 13 to 0. Consequently, next Saturd: game should break the tie of the recent games. Neither players or coaches are mak- ing excuses for the defeat on Satur- day, but have much to say in praise d by Penn State, aging elements to the Navy. It galned continuously from scrimmage, secur- ing fifteen first downs to four by State in this way. This, it is thought indicates that the Navy i | has a good | deal of power in its backfield. and that |, a tightening up of its defense and a | perfecting in a more varied attack will yet put it among the recognized big teams of the year. Wilson Their Undoing. Unfortunately, the team ran against a player, Wilson, that it could not stop. It has been' the weak Navy teams for years that | they lacked the ability to cope with | unusual players or unusual plays, and this weakness will be given earnest up| The coaches have little alernative, can to perfect the work of the line.

The backfield presents a different ituation, however. Several positions afford definite problems to the aches, and these will also be given thought. Fur instance, Devens was put at left half, in place of Flippin, because of this superior defensive playing, as it was thought. however, did unusually good work while in the game at State, It is quite probable that he will be moved back to his old position. Quarterback Puzzles. The coaches_will also have to de- cide between McKee and Shapley at quarterback. McKee is the most ex- perienced of the backs, except Bar- that they are!chet, who has played the same num- The | ber of seasons. He is a fine passer but only a moderate ground gainer, | but is considered a cool and compe- | tent leader. Shapley, a substitute last_vear, faster and heavier than McKee, 4nd meny think he is de- veloping Into one of the best players the Navy has for years. Barchet, the Navy's best runnmer, and Cullen, its only good punter Who can also perform the other work of a back. seem to be fixtures at present. However, there is another Valuable man in Balllnger. who adds power as a line-breaker. —_— Last week was a poor one for Mary- l1ana elevens, only two of the six be- ng able to turn in victories over out- of-state opposition. The successful pair was Johns Hopkins and Wash- ington College, winners, respectively, over Albright and Pennsylvania Mili- tary Institute. Hopkins' offensive was especially pleasing to its follow fwhore ers, especially the forward passing. ‘Washington College profited through good use of the drop-kick. Like the State University and Mount St. Mary’ Western Maryland and St. John's went down to defeat. St. John's loss to Washington and Lee was, course, expected, but the Davis Elkins win over the Westminster out fit was a blow. Western Maryland two perlods without a score, but mel latter emulated the other big college i team of its state and rallied in_the. second half to score a victory. Mis- slesipp! Aggies and Mississippi both played good defensive games, but each managed to employ aerial at- tack to advantage at times.

How Foot Ball Is Played By SOL METZGER: COUTS study both offense and defense of teams they watch {play. The chief duty of a scout of a college team which has an estab- lished system of coaching is to study the defense of the opponent when following him in games. This is due to the fact that elevens which stand high in the foot ball world have certain standard principles they ). iollow on defense no matter what attack is met. Another reason is that defense can be =0 taught as to adjust it=elf to any conditions which may arise. Attack, on the other hand, can and is shifted and changed. What a scout sees is not what h team may encounter later in so far as attack is concerned. In fact, many teams will do certain | things on attack up to a certain big game for the sole purpose of leading the scouts covering them to Instruct their team to plan certain defenses. Then they can cross them up In the big game. » e Scouts Harvard, _Princeton, Penn State, West Vir- ginia, Notre Dame, California *and Georgia Tech seek to find the under- lying principles of an opponent’s de- fense.

FOSTER. NEW YORK, October 22—When the Notre Dame eleven won from Prince- ton Saturday It accomplished some- thing that a western team has never done before. It established a record of defeating Army and Princeton ir successive weeks. There is littie doubt that the Notre Dame eleven, as it stands today. the most highly perfected bit of foot ball machinery in the United States There are three teams in the that might give Notre Dame a battle —might, that's all. They are Yale Harvard and Penn State. It isn't a certain that any of them could turn the trick right now, although all three probably are somewhat Army and Princetor know about Army and Yale soon, for they play each other. 1f the Army should defeat Yale this Notre Dame eleven is going to stand cast {out as about the fastest thing in the United States—provided it does not come a cropper in the west. The first time that Notre Dame ever ventured into the east was in 1814, when she met Yale. She lost, 28 to 0. Knute Rockne was assistant coach of Notre Dame that vear and he vowed then that no Notre Dame team would ever suffer a like humiliati in the east when he was running things. His vow has been made good and today he stands out as the first western coach to defeat Army and Princeton in one year. {INDIA TO COMPETE IN PARIS OLYMPIAD By the Associated Press. CALCUTTA, October 22.—India will be one of the competitors in the Olympic games to take place in Paris in 1924 if plans inaugurated by Lord Lytton, governor of Bengal, are cai- ried out. The governor has called a meeting for the purpose of forming a Bengal Olympic committee in con- nection with India’s proposed repre- sentation. Governors of several other care fis being taken,” says Dr. A. G. Noehren, physical director for India, Burma and Ceylon, “to or- ganize India's participation in the games on a represcntative basis, so that the chosen Indian team will con- sist of the best athletes that all the provinces can produce. 1 have con- fidence that, although India has not the sporting traditions of such coun tries as England or France, she will glve a good account of herself. There 1s undoubtedly good athletic talent among her vast population, and who knows but that a potential world champion may not be hidden away in some obscure village? ¥It has been decided,” Dr. Noehren continued, “to limit competition to the better known track and field events. With regard to the Marathon race, let it not be forgotten that th® runner after whom the race was named dropped dead in the streets of Athens. At Delhi we think it wiser to substitute a modified Mara- thon of ten miles, and if competitors for this event show special promise the winner after physical examination could be carefully trained for the longer distance.” -_—— WIN 26 GAMES IN ROW. The New York Nationals hold the record of winning the greatest num- ber of consecutive games (twent)- six). This record was made in 1916. The greatest number of consecutive games won In the Amegican League was nineteen. This record was made by the Chicago team in 1906. GRID GAME AT NIGHT.
