The players will spend next week in Washington getting in trim to play the Quantico Marines there on November 11. Head Coach Hill announced that his probable line-up against the Third Corps would be: Kagestrom, left end; White, left tackle; Bragen, left guard: Dwyer, center; Bertelman, right guard; Butler, right tackle; Ge right end; Smythe, quarterback; Douthit and Swantic, halfbacks, and McQuarrie, fullback. Others to make the trip are Hagen, Rattan, Smithers, Cornog, Neff, Roderick, Slate, Cole, Lindsey, Buck and Deaderick. Smythe and McQuarrie, have been mentioned in the past on several All- American teams, and both are triple- threat players. Other West Pointers on the squad beside Smythe and Me- Quarrie are Bragan, Imyer, Douthit, Smithers, Cornog and Schafer. Gee was an All-Southern end, and White an All-Western tackle. The average weight of the team is 180 pounds. The team has won all of its games handily, and is regarded as a hard one to stop. STADIUM FOR RICHMOND. RICHMOND, Va., October 24.—Two groups of financiers are at work on the proposition to provide a stadium for this city, one that will have a seating capacity of not less than 25, 000.

Every one will recognize the diffi- cult task involved in selecting win- ners of these games, the difficult task not only but the risks, too. In no sport do there appear so often and so markedly discrepancies between pr liminary form and actual form in an important contest as in the game o foot ball. The best that the self constituted prophet can do is to make predictions upon the basis of games played thus far, upon his opinion as to the ability of the rival coaching staffs, his opinion of the potential qualities of given elevens and the impression of scouts and officials who have seen the prospective rivals in action. This being done predictions may be put forth as fair targets factors as unforseen breaks, teams finding themselves in the heat of conflict, unlooked for slumps on the part of favorites and so forth and so forth. Adi from the fact that from now on pretty much all teams are in the one result being that beginning at this date the term “upset” is pretty much relegated to the limbo of things unused.

The last time they journeyed to a West Virginia game they went to Charles on, W. Va, from Danville, Ky.. in day coaches, arriving after midnight and getting little rest, although foot ball history reveals that on the afternoon they overpowered the po- tent mountaineer eleven and jumped to_fame. Moreover, in that memorable game, the Colonels had no ball when they arrived on the field and had to borrow on from their opponents for signal practice. Vivid accounts of that game relate that four of the Centre stars, including the brilliant “Bo” McMillan, were without headgear, this necessary part of _their equip- ment being furnished by West Vir- ginia substitutes. Their jerseys did not match and they gave evidence of more than a season's. wear. “@ncle Charley” Moran, head coach of the Centre eleven at that time and an umpire in the National League was coach, manager, trainer and property man of the Colone In h unheated and dimly lighted room af- ter the game, Moran recleated some of the shoes for his men which were damaged during the hectic game.
