W. and C. U. Also Play. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN'S game with West Virginia tomorrow heads the list of games in which local foot ball teams are to take part. The Virginia Polytechn Institute-Maryland contest. at Norfolk, should provide an excellent exhibition, and Catholic University will have more than its hands full against St. John's College at Brooklyn, but it is Georgetown's tilt with West Virginia that is occupying, and right- fully should occupy. the main place in the mind of the gridiron public. No game that has ever heen scheduled here in the whole history of | foot ball has produced better foot ball than is likely to develop in the one between Georgetown and West Virginia. And this is not mere ballyhoo press t material for the beuefit of the Georgetown Athletic Associa- tion treasury, but simple fact. And. furthermore, it is simple fact that no other game scheduled this year is likely to be productive of as good foot ball as the one tomorrow.

RANKING RACKETERS SEEN AS HUGE TASK NEW YORK, October 15 (#).— | Metropolitan critics already have | taken up the unofficial task of ranking America’s tennis stars for 1926 with a_ sharp division of opinion as to whether William 'T. Tilden or Vincent Richards is entitled to No. 1 position. Admitting that the rating problem has been complicated by the sweep of French rackets through the natfonal championship_event and the passing | of Richards from the amateur fold, some observers contend that the sea son’s record of the former Olympic champion entitles him to the top.

Jonas H. Ingram, athletic director, and is in process of comple- tion. 1t includes four big games, in addi- tion to that with the Military Acade- my, to be played in alternaté years on the grounds designated by the Navy and its opponent. The Navy will play these games in its turn in the Baltimore Stadium. Notre Dame has already agreed to two games, to be plaved in Chicago and Baltimore, and a like arrange- ment with Princeton, in continuance of the present arrangement, is ex- pected. Another large Fastern team has practically consented to play the Navy on this basls, and now Dartmouth has proposed two games, one to be played in Baltimore and the other in New York. Games with these four will be arranged so that two games are play- ed in Baltimore each vear and the Navy team takes two trips. Comdr. Ingram thinks well of the proposal to play that team, not only on account of its high standing, but because he wished the schedule to be representative and the big Green team would be an ideal representative of New England. The schedule will be equally fine as that of this vear, but the playing of extremely hard games on succe: sive Saturdays will be avolded as far as_possible. Pursulng his plan to make the schedule representative, a Southern team will find a place on the schedule. as it did not this season. Western { Maryland has also proposed a game and is likely to be given a date. Comdr. Ingram has decided to play Drake again next year. Drake and Purdue both appeared on the Navy's schedule for the first time this season and offered most satisfactory oppo: tion. Purdue will not be asked to play again. however, as it is regarded as too strong a team either to start the season or to play between two big games. 1t is probable that two games each may be played on the first and second Saturdays of the season.
