In fact, the schedule for the strongest elevens on October 4 is made up largely of such contests.

Trinity has been coming rapidly, and ccllent coaching system may give t how to get in shape early. Teams get in action October 4 in doadly carnest. Virginia goes north to battle Harvard; North Carolina State makes the journey to Peun State; Military Institute plays at with Georgia_Tech; North Carolina appears against Yale at ew Haven. The first big contest be- tween teams in the section takes place on this date, Washington and Lee Uni- versity beeing booked to come to Washington to meet the University of Maryland. This will be Washing- ton and Lec's first appearance here since it defeated Georgetown several years ago. Catholic University plays | here the same day in what will be its second hard game in the first two weeks of the schedule. the Quantico Marines being due to furnish the op- Pposition. The best games listed on Octaber 11 are between North Carolina State and University of South Carolina at Columbia and between Virginia Poly- technic Institute and Alabama Poly- technic Institute at Richmond. The following Thursday, October 16, the University of North arolina and North Carolina State College meet in their annual fair-week game at Raleigh. ) Two of what may be the best games of the season in Washington are list- ed here on October 1S, one between Georgetown and the Quantico Marines, the other between Universi of Marvland and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Johns Hopkins plays at Baltimore what may prove its most most difficult game of the year, Uni- versity of Pittsburgh being scheduled a9 its opponent. University of Vir- =inia goes over to Lexington to far Virginia Military Institute, and no doubt the 55 to 0 victory scored last season by the Lexington cadets leaves considerable in the minds of Virginia udents that should be wiped out. Washington and Lee goes to Lexing- ton, . for a set-to with the Uni- ity of Kentucky. rginia goes north for another intersectional game. on October 25 this time being listed to meet Penn- sylvania at Philadelphia. George- town is due to entertain a strong opponens in Bucknell, while three important games are scheduled in which South Atlantic elevens meet other—Maryland against North at Chapel Hill; Virginia Institute against North t Richmond, and Vir- echic Istitute against shington and Lee, at Lynchburg. W. and L, Plays Viri Washington and Lee at Virginia is the most important contest booked November 1. Virginia Polytechnic In- atitute plays at Clemson, South Caro- lina at North Carolinia and George- town at Greenville, 8. C., against Fur- man University. And right here it may as well be said that Furman probably will not be “soft picking” for any team. Catholic University and Marvland have practically a clear field for their annual game, with which the new siadium at Brookland | is to be offcially opened. corzetown and Mavyland get op- poriunities on November § to win in the sun, the former in a scheduled b Penusylvania | and the latter at Yale o big games are scheduled in North Caro- lina—Virginia Polytechnic Institute at North Carolina State and Virginia Military_Institute at University of North Carolina. Virginia plays at home with the University of Georgia as_its opponent. ‘What promises to be hard battles are scheduled for the majority of teams November 15, and South At- lantic elevens will not be exceptions. Virginia goes over to Virginia Poly- technic Institute, and the occasion will. be so exceptional that aH the natives of that section, including a big part of the population of Roa- noRe, are likely to attend. North Carolina State College will be the op- ponent of the University of Maryland at College Park. Georgetown enter- tains the 3d Army Corps here; Wash- ington and Lee meets West Virginia on the neutral ficld at Charleston, W. Va., and Virginia Military Insti- tute has a game scheduled with Uni- versity of Kentucky at Lexington. Fhanksgiving Day Card. Thanksgiving day will find time- honored contests in full swing. North Carolina and Virginia meet <n the contest which has been staged regu- larly for thirty years, Maryland and. Johns Hopkins appear at Baltimore in a game which first was listed in 1893, Virginia Polytechnic and Vir- ginia Military Institute o to Roa- noke for, their annual meeting, while Washingon and Lee and North Car lina State resume a Thanksgiving day game at Raleigh that was an annual clash until a disruption of relations between the two schools several years ago. Georgetown does’ not play on Thanksgiving day, but two days later, Saturday, November 29, goes to New i York to face Fordham. The last game in which a South Atlantic eleven is to participate is scheduled at Jack- sonville, December 6, with Washington and e and the University of Klorida. No previous season ever has offered such an attractive list of games. As a brief resume, think of what a schedule which includes Virginia at Harvard, Maryland at Yale, George- town at Pennsylvania, North Cafo- lina at Yale, Virginia at Pennsylvania, North Carolina State at Penn_State, Virginia Military Institute ay Georgia Tech, Washington and Lee at Florida, Virginia _Polytechnic Institute v Alabama Rolytechnic Institute, offers those [interested In South Atlantic foot ball, not considering the big games within the section itself, such as North Carolina vs. Virginia, Vir- glnia - Polytechnic Institute vs. Vir- ginia Military Institute, Maryland vs. ‘Washington and Lee.'North Carolina State vs. North Carolina University, and so om with many other contests of just as great importance. Foot ball, as far as-attractive games are concerned, will not be lacking in interest for followers of South At-| lantic elevens. ST.

FORT MYER POLOISTS GAIN SOME REVENGE Fort Myer's 16th Field Artillery polo four avenged itself for the recent drubbings it has received at the hands of the War Department teams by over- coming the Whites, 6 to 3, yesterday at Potomac Park. The War Greens disposed of the 3d Cavalry players, 8 to 2. in anether match. With a strong defense and fine téeam play, the Field Artillery riders sur- prised their opponents by their decided improvement. The Whites were off color, as they lacked the teamwork that marked their play in other zames. Two of the White's talented players, Col. Babock and Capt. Wipprecht did not perform at their regular positions for the Whites and this handicapped the team considerably. Capt. Tate and Maj. Hoyle of the Field Artillery registered three and two goals, respectively, to lead the fleld. They were aided, though, by Lieut. Hood and Lieut. Kitts. The War Greens were not forced to extend themselves against the 3d Cavalry. Capt. Ewen of the defeated four was the outstanding player. His perform- ance was marked by fast riding and hard hitting.

CALIFORNIANS WIN JUNIOR POLO TITLE RUMSO: N. J., August 16.—Mid- wick Country Club of California de- feated the Rockaway polo team, 16 to 3, in the final match for the junior championship today. This is the first year a Western team has won the junior champion- ship. Although the California team was a strong favorite, its deelsive victory came a a surprise. The teams were fairly well matched during the first half of the contest, but In the last four chukkers, Midwick showed a marked superlority in all-around play. Eric Pedley. an aspirant for No. 1 position on the American Interna- tional challenge cup teaam, ‘scored only one goal in the first half, but came back in the second period with seven.

[l The crawl Is divided into three typleal styles, known as pluin crawl and single and doubls trudgeon-crawl, and cach of th. styles Is subdivided according to the number of sciésoring motions (tech- nically termed “beats’) executed per full stroke of the two arms. Broadly speaking. the plain crawl calls {OF u narrow leg thrash of even scope and steady rhythm, in which all scissoring motions are given the same width; the' single trudgeon- crawl for a unit composxed of one rather wide (major) scissor and sev- cral smaller (minor) kicks, so that the action Is featured by a well ac- sented mono-rhythm; the double trud- geon-crawl for two of the major scix- sors, with one or more minors after each, which tmparts to the drive a distinct dual-rhythm. 8 1t will be ci therefore, that the name eight-beat plain crawl applies to a stroke in which the legs perform eight narrow kicks of the same width per complete cycle of the two arms; four-beat single trudgeon-crawl to one featuring one major and three minors per unit; six-beat double trud- geon-crawl to one in which two ma- Jors, each followed by two minors, are used, and so on.

Today not only those who follow those classic races between Yale and Harvard on the Thames at New Lon- don. but the whole world is marveling at this man who came from the coast, little heralded, and turned out varsity crews that the first year defeated the pick ‘of Eastern rowing institu- tions in short races on the Housa- tonic and elsewhere, then beat Har- vard at 4 miles.

He rushed his crew back to beat Harvard in 4 miles on the Thames, and then put them aboard the steamer for Europe within 48 hours. He'won his heats on the Seine against the pick of the world, beating the record for the 2,000-meter course, and wound up his two years' work by winning the Olympic championship, and glving the United States the vic- torious score by the margin of 1 point in the rowing championships!
