SPORTS.’ Southern Grid Titles at Stake Thursday : Penn Has One More Bridge to Cross GEORGIA NEEDS VICTORY s TO CLINCH DIXIE CROWN Game With Alabama Big Thanksgiving Day Scrap of Section—From Maryland to Texas Spirited Rivalries Are to Be Renewed. \\% Mason-Dixon line around to ers is the cri Atlanta. These teams have been playing for decade after decade and so intensely interested in their games are follow- ers of the two institutions and the public generally in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia that the num- ber of persons attending will be Jimited only by the capacity of the flelds on which the games take place. And great games seem in store in each contest, as the difference in the strength of the opponents appears to be almost negligible. The Alabama-Georgia game at Bir- mingham probably will be the one “big” game of the day, as far as the entire South is concerned, because if Georgia wins it will have the South- ern Conference championship with- out many dissenting voices. Tulane and Louisiana State meet at Baton Rouge, and the fur flies when those 1wo schools come into competition in Anything. University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins continue _competition _in Baltimore that was begun more than 30 years ago. And those two insti- tutions are not especially in love with each other, and on the athletic fleld is where the intense rivalry has an actual outburst. Maryland in re- cent vears has had the advantage in the score, but prior to 1912 Hopkins won _all the time. Other games in which just as great yivalry is shown as in the games al- Teady mentioned are between Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute and Vir- Zinia Military Institute, Clemson and Furman, North Carolina State and Xvashington and Lee, Vanderbilt and Sewanee and Texas University and Texas A. & M. Plttaburgh and Penn State have %iad just a little more rocky Eoing this season than usual, and they will smeet out in Pittsburgh, realizing $hat neither ha? anything much on the other's that the determination of the contest will rest on the factors of grit and courage, which produce the opportunities or breaks that give wictory in a close game between ptrong elevens It Washington and Lee wins from North Carolina State on Thanksgiv- ing day it probably will claim the championship of the South Atlantic mection, though its claim will be dis- ke Forest, and with good reason. ke Forest has played Sust three South Atlantic elevens and irimmed all, and one of them was Washington and Lee. Its margin of victory over North Carolina was one point, and over Washington and Lee two points. The score against North carolina’ was 7 to 6, and agalnst Washington and Lee {0 to 8. Satur- day it added another victim by beat- ing North Carolina State, 12 to 0. Chalk up ome more triumph for Southern foot ball. Dan McGugin's Minnesota, Vanderbilt elev gave fresh from a victory over great Tilinois, a 16-to-0 beating Saturda: At the beginning of the year it w: predicted that Vanderbilt would pro- duce a team capable of playing the Gophers to a standstill, but reverses tndicated that the Commodores were not so strong as it seemed they might be. However, Saturday’s re- sult at Minneapolis was about all that could be desired from a Vanderbilt ~vlewpoint. Minnesota probably was through after it won from Illinois a week ago and not up to its peak, but that does not detract any from the honor won by Vanderbilt. Indiana lost to Purdue Saturday by a margin greater than any eleven ltkes to lose, and for Indiana to be defeated by Purdue is just about the 1limit to which defeat may carry one, wviewing that defeat with Indiana eves. Indiana is the State university and Purdue the agricultural and me- chanical college of Indiana. Indiana, 1lke most other places where the functions of the Stata University are split, views Purdue with much the same feeling that the lawyer or doc- tor looks upon the farmer or tech- nical man—a kind of necessary ad- junct to life. But the trouble with the view, as far as foot ball is concerned, is that the farmer and the “Boilermakers,” as Purdue has been nicknamed at times, have an unpleasant way of ‘being big and husky and not loath to hit mother earth. It feems that ¥ndiana must have struck such an outfit Saturday. But, seriously, the game between Nndiana and Purdue is the Yale-Har- ward set-to of that State. And it is W fact that in all States where there are two instiuions maintained by the State, one as a State dniversity and #he other as an agricultural and me- whanical college, always there is the Keenest rivalry between them, and swhenever they met in foot ball it wsually the biggest game of the pear for both. North Carolina State vs. North Carollna _University, Georgia vs. Georgla Tech, Texas vs. Texas A. M. and Clemson vs. South Caro- ina are big Southern games of this Rype. _ ALOYSIUS RUNNERS IN TEN-MILE EVENT Aloysius Club long-distance run- hers, trained to the minute, hope to figure prominently in the 10-mile marathon to be held in Baltimore Thursday. Under the direction of Dan Has- mett, the Aloysius coach, Dan Healy, ‘Mike Lynch, the Montague brothers, Brooks and Seipel, have been pro- gressing rapidly and should give ®ood accounts of themselves, Seipel is a former star of the Morningside Athletic Club of New York.

HILE the big games of the North are about ended for the year, except, of course, the annual struggles between Pennsylvania and Cornell and between Pittsburgh and Penn State, some of the most important that the South has have yet to be played. From the [exas practically every State has a battle in which two teams meet in what to the great majority of their support- of their season. And these Thanksgiving day games seem to belong to the South, because in no other section are the big moments of the schedules held back till the holiday. 2 Probably the two most important contests, those of longest stand- ing and perhaps of largest attendance, are between Virginia and North Carolina at Charlottesville and between Georgia Tech and Alabama at G. W. IS DETERMINED TO TRIM C. U. TEAM With the Buffalo game a thing of the past, the George Washington gridders are now turning their at- tention to Thursday's clash with Ca- tholic University at Brookland. The game will start at 2:30. These schools have been rivals for vears, and “the fondest thing they is of" is beat- ing each other. The rivalry is, if anything, keener this year than ever before. The Brooklanders, for instance, sent a scout all the way to Buffalo Saturday to get a line on the Hatchetites. On dope, the G. W. eleven will be the underdog, as Coach Gormley's men held Maryland to a tie, while the Byrdmen have found little difficulty with the Hatchetites In practice ses- sions these elevens have staged. This is not worrying the Down- towners greatly, however, as they claim that they play better when the odds are against them, and point to thelr tie fracas with the strong John l?uvkins team to prove their conten- tion. the G. W.-C. U. clash s the only collegiate Turkey day attraction booked here, plans are being made to accommodate a large crowd. STIRRING GRID RACE STAGED BY BIG TEN By the Associated Press.

The 15 leaders No. 11—Part 2. As Told by Dr. John W. Wilce, Director of Foot Ball, Ohio State University. T is commonplace to say that foot ball strategy is based upon the element of surprise. But the manner in which that surprise is ob- tained is not often commonplace. Thus the long spread fan forma- tion which we had successfully em- ployed for many of our forward passes was well known to Illinois, but they were not acquainted with all the methods we might adopt in executing it. They knew that we had used the play to beat Wisconsin and they had been thoroughly coached to thwart it when we should present it against them. We intended to use it at the most critical stage of the game. Only we were prepared To render a new version. We hope it would be as confusing as we belleved it ought to be. A Great Combimatien. Workman to Stinchcomb—that was our forward pass combination, as nearly infalliable as anything hu- man can be. What could be more surprising if, in a crisls, we should forsake that combination and use another? Would not that be the essence of real strategy? Well, there we were on our 33- vard line, the Illinols goal line 67 rds away, with only 90 seconds in MARINES AT HOME WITH MORE HONORS Back at Quantico, Va. without a blot on their foot ball escutcheon, the Marines wil! now press ahead with full speed for their encounter, De- cember 6, at Baltimore Stadium with the 2rd Corps Area eleven. On Saturday the Marines helped themselves to a 3-to-0 victory over the strong Carnegie Tech machine, maintaining the unsullied record of no defeats this season. Vanderbilt, with a 13-to-13 tie contest, was the only eleven not to fall before the Ma- rine steam roller. That Johnny Groves, former Uni- versity of Maryland quarterback, has lost none of his skill with his toe was proved Saturday, when his drop- kick from the 35-yard line gave the Marines their only points against Carnegle. Groves fs a dangerous man anywhere within the 45-yard mark and the 3rd Corps will have to hurry him in his kicks or accept the consequences, Gradual improvement has been noted in the play of the 3rd Corps at Camp Meade, where Head Coach Prichard has been giving his squad plenty of work. The Army had no game Saturday, but frequent scrim- mages with the strong second team have been held, and three or four more will be in order this week. The team has reached the point where new formations and tactics can be given and, although handi- capped to some extent all season by injurtes, it should be able to play its strongest game against the Marines, providing a number of regulars now out of play are back in harness and fit_to battle.

Entering the fray a great favorite, the Mohawks soon discovered they faced a well drilled team, one able to take advantage of its opportuni- ties. The Geoknicks' amazing abil- ity to snare Mohawk passes was the most important factor in their suc- cess. Cashell, Gleason and Southern scored touchdowns after grabbing Indian heaves. The last mentioned player raced 98 yards to a score near the end of the game. Some of the best punting seen in Griffith Stadium this year was done by Shorty O'Connell of the victors. Coach Billy Martin's Geoknick combi- nation was superior in practically every perlod. With Levvy leading a powerful at- tack, Mercury Athletic Club turned back the Waverly gridmen, 13 to 0. Charles, O'Toole and Cronin also worried Waverly, for they malle some good gains. Several new grid- men were in the Mercury line-up and a decided improvement was noted in the team’s play. Apache athletes added another vic- tim to their 1ist in the 150-pound race by routing Palace Athletio Clib, 19 to 6. Palace scored its lone touch- down when Hart intercepted Ady's pass and raced 55 yards goalward. With the score at 6 to 6 the Apaches came to life in the last period. Mor- ton Gooch, former Tech High player, gained much yardage for the win- ners. Seat Pleasant Athletic Club had a powerful defense against the Seamen Gunners, the game ending 0-0. Hess gridmen barely managed to eke out a 7-to-0 victory over the Clovers. J. Dean fell on a blocked punt behind the Clovers’ goal for the ouchdown. Javins, Highes and Smith layed creditably. St. Stepkens bowed to the North- erns, in a 12-to-0 triumph. Gass was the outstanding player. He made two goals from the fleld and sprinted 50 yards to a touchdown.

A fleld goal by Kyle from the 35-yard line decided the issue. The Stantons won the 135-pound title last year. Reberts of the Crescents again played well, but his team lost to the ‘Wintons in a 10-to-7 match. Trinity Athletic Club’s first and sec- ond teams played well in a scoreless tie. Chevy Chase was due to meet Trinity, but failed to appear. A Thanksgiving day game is wanted by the Trinity team, according to Mana- ger Knott, who may be telephoned at West 963. Rover Jumiors eliminated the Ar- gyle Juniors in the 120-pound class race, by turning in a 12-to-6 victory. Games with the winners may be a ranged by calling Manager McGarvey, Adams 3289. ‘When Blunt of Iroquois Athletic Club added the extra point after touchdown his team nosed out the Fort Myer combination, 7 to 6. Heflin, Cornell and Edwards gave good ac- counts of themselves. Some foot ball of the first order was produced in the Clarendon-Lyon- Argyle Athletic Club game, Wwhich ended 0-0. Thomas and Remson of the Clarendon outfit and Monk of the Argyles were in the spotlight. Anacostia Eagles fell before St. Stephens’ Boys' Club, 14 to 0. Jones and Kauffman led the winners' at- tack, while Grier was best for the Eagles. De Lahra and Glovamettl figured prominently in Corinthian Athletic Club's 20-to-0 victory over the un- limited team of Fort Washington. ‘Weber played well for the Soldiers.

The stands were wild. lllinois seemed to be weakening, but we were not any too fresh. Zuppke shot in some subs. So did we. At this point we suffered a temporary setback, the clever Carney and the fresh lilinols reserves stopping two plays for a dead loss. The ball was now back te the 40-yard line. Some one in the Illinols stands, thinking the game was over, started a cheer. But they were mistaken. As for me, I didn't dare look at my Wwatch. As long as my boys were on the feld I knew there was a chance they would perform any wonder. If only one second of play was left they would make the most of it. Suddenly the whole team massed itself around Capt. Huffman. Then, in a flash, they spread out. Huffman, brainy fellow that he was, had told them time had come to use our fan formation.

But here Ohlo State called real headwork into play. The ball was passed back to “Hoge"” Workman. He started as if to run to his left, but, seeing his path block- ed, he turned and ran to his right, cooly dodging two enemy linesmen who lunged at him. This turning and reversing was a part of the strategy. It gave Stinch- comb time to go down on the left and draw the Illinois defense men out of position. Naturally they expected “Pete” to receive a pass, for the Wis- consin game had been won in that fashion. In the Wisconsin game Stinchcomb had taken a position anywhere from 15 to 20 yards on the left of his end, receiving the pass after he had run down the fleld as far as he could. When he pursued the identical tactics against Illinois, Zuppke's safety men, Bob Fletcher, quarterback, and Ralph Fletcher, left halfback, shifted to keep him covered. Defense Is Diverted. But, while “Pete” was working down the field, and “Hoge" Workman was dodging maddeningly around be- hind the Ohio line, with our linesmen shifting as necessary to protect him from eny Illinois players who got through, there were other develop- ments. The Ohlo right end, Noel Workman, hurried down the field on the right as @& part of the “fan.” This diverted Crangle, the defensive fullback, and Wahlquist, defensive right halfback. And now “Truck” Myers, our left end, got into action. Noel Workman and inchcomb had taken all attention away from Myers, a diversion rendered the more com- plete by the fact that as they reached CHICAGO ALONE UNBEATEN IN WESTERN CONFERENCE By the Associated Press C HICAGO, November in great abandon until the fin 24 —Tossed teams battling for-it, the about the Western Conierence al games of the schedule found four “unofficial” foot ball championship finally rested Saturday with the University of Chicago Maroons.

The smashing by Chicago spelled doom for Illinois' title hopes, how- ever, as the Illini fell an eariy victim to Minnesota last week and were able to defeat Ohio State only 7-0 Saturday. That it had sapped much of Minne- sota’s strength to down Ilinois vas evidenced Saturday, howeve when the Gophers were defeated, 16-0, by Vanderbilt, which had lost two games to Southern Conference teams and was tabbed to be easy prey for the school which had eliminated Iilinois and the great Harold Grange in the big ten. Continuing the season of marked reverses of predictions, Michigan suc- cumbed to lowa. 2-9, Saturday in a tilt that would have given the win- ner a tie for conference glory had Chicago been defeated. The Hawk- eye victory tied Illinois for second place and sent Michigan to fourth. Purdue, dedicating her new stadium Saturday, defeated Indiana for fifth place in the conference rating. Minnesota, with one victory and two defeats, landed in sixth place. Sev- enth place was a triple tie of Ohio State, Indiana and Northwestern with one won and three lost each. Wiscon- sin failed to win a conference game, although tying two. Northwestern, out of the cellar for the first time in three years, largely through the playing of Ralph Baker, a sterling back, played the national title-claiming Notre Dame eleven al- most to a standstill Saturday. The South Bend, Ind, added a Northwestern scalp to those of Army, Princeton, Georgia Tech, Nebraska and Wisconsin by a margin of 13-6, remaining the only big school eleven in the country not defeated or tied. VIRGINIA IS PRIMING TO DEFEAT TARHEELS UNIVERSITY, Va., November 24.— virgfnia and North Carolina will meet next Thursday on Lambeth Field in the twenty-ninth contest between them since the gridiron teams of these two universities first clashed back in 1892. Though the Virginians still have the edge in the number of games won, the Carolinians won four of the last six games. A year ago at Chapel Hill the teams battled to a scoreless tie in the mud, but Carolina was vic- torfous in the games of 1919, 1921 and 1922. Capt. Sam_ Maphis, Virginia's vet- eran halfback, is leading a team that has made up its collective mind that the boys of the Old Dominion are go- ing to come through with a victory over the Tarheels on Thanksgiving day.

Stanford went into the game minus the services of Norman Cleaveland, a star half-back, whom the Stanford authorities had barred on the ground that he played a few minutes in a varsity game in 1921, and therefore was appearing In his fourth year of competition. Cleaveland had played in the previous conference game; against Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. There was a question whether these games would be forfeited on this oc- casion, .
