42 SP MARINES AND ORTS. TAR HEELS WILL OFFER OPPOSITION Devil Dogs Slight Favorites, While North Carolina and Old Liners Appear on 50-50 Basis—G. W. Away—G. U. Has Easy Contest. BY H. C. BYRD. OCAL foot ball teams appear here tomorrow in three contests, two of which are between fairly evenly matched teams, with prospects of fine games, while the other is a practice affair. Catholic: Univer- . sity meets the Quantico Marines and Maryland faces North Caro- lina in the two big contests, while Georgetown has as its opponent Elon College in the other. All three games are slated to‘begin at 2:30 o'clock. Another contest in which a local team is scheduled is that in which George Washington is to test its mettle against William and Mary. Quantico Marines are coming h ere with the expectation of beating Catholic University, but that is entirely different from what the Brook- land eleven expects. the Marines have won both times, In the two contests in which the teams have met but C. U. feels it has a far better chance tomorrow than in either of the last two years. The school will send into the game the strongest line-up it has had on the field this sea- son, and the play generally is expected to be excellent on both sides. - In the linc-up of the Marines are several former Maryland players who got their first foot ball experience in the Washington high schools. Bailey, center; Hough, guard, and McQuade and Pugh, backs, played on some of the greatest teams Maryland ever turned out. playing mighty good foot ball now. have good tackles. If an impartial critic were asked.an opinion of the probable outcome of the game; he likely would say: “Marines ~hould be favored to win because of their greater experience.” Tarheel Squad Here. North Carolina’s squad arrived here his morning and sent their baggage ht out to College Park, where they n to spend an hour working out this afternoon. The Tarheels always are hard to beat in any sport, and in foot ball especially. They have not played this year up to the standard of last, but are said to have a_team of great potential capabilities. Some- thing of their strength may be real- fzed when it is stated that they beat uth Carolina, 7 to 0. which beat Maryland, 12 to 0. Of course, that is not a fair criterion of the comparative strength of North Carolina and Mary- ind, as it s likely the elevens will be fairly well matched. The game usually is regarded as one of the biggest In’ the South Atlantio section. Maryland's record this year is not impressive, as it has lost three of four games, but, outside of its fum- Wing, it has played better foot ball han the scores indicate. The Old! Liners started with the greenest out- | fit they have had in years and have lost. three consecutive games, but still | think they have an even chance for victory. { Georgetown ought to swamp Elon, as it probably will. The Blue and Gray probably will use the contest more as a practice game for the men who did not get in the contest with West Virginia last week. George Washington expects the hardest kind of a game with William and Mary at Williamsburg. Presi- dent Willlam Mather Lewis and Dean Van Vieck of the law school expect to make the trip to watch the contest. “Not only are North Caroltna and | Maryland set for a real battle tomor- row, but two other South Atlantic institutions have more than their hands full. Washington and Lee is making the journey to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech and Virginia goes up to Blacksburg for a contest with Virginia Polytechnje Institute. Both ‘Washington and Lee and Virginia will be lucky to escape defeats, although Virginia probably has the better chance. Yale and Brown meet at New Haven. It would mot be a surprise to see the Brunonians make a good showing following the extremely hard game Yale played with Dartmouth last week.

The Vanderbilt; Georgla contest should be one of the best of the year. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. TTH POINT IS ADDED AFTER MOST SCORES é By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 22.—Eastern gridiron warriors are more than measuring up this year to the in- creased demand for speed and skill imposed by the rule requiring points after touchdown to be made from scrimmage. A review of the college games play- ed thus far shows that approximately four out of every five chances to add the extra point are being accepted. Eighty-five out of 108 possible points in_major contests of the East were | scored last Saturday. 1 The placement kick has been al-| most unanimously retained as the! surest point-making medium after touchdown, records revealing that only a handful of Eastern elevens are willing to risk the attempt to drop- kick, running with or passing of the ball. The chief exceptions are Navy and Fordham, which have been plac- ing dependence for their points from touchdown in Hamilton and Graham, respectively, both drop-kickers. Several of the leading placement kickers have only one miss to their | credit. Wilson of Army, Carr of Sy-| racuse, Strong of New York Uni-| versity, Madden of Columbia, Was- colonis of Pennsylvania, Shaughnessy of Colgate and Carey of Cornell top the fleld for accuracy. Carr has sent the hall across the! bar in 11 out of 12 chances, while ‘Wascolonis, Wilson and Madden all have 10 to their credit. Wilson .is next, with 9 out of a possible 10. The march for touchdowns has been so uniformly successful as to bring very fow points from field goals thus far, Of 27 leading Eastern elevens, only 7 have scored by this method. Ham- {lton of the Navy leads the East, with tour successful drop-kicks to his credit. | o California 1s sure to have addl- tional trouble at the hands of the University of Southern California; there is no reason to believe that the Bears will not lose. Oregon and | Stanford at Portland will see two Pacific Conference rivals in conflict, | Stanford probably will win, PSYCHOLOGY IN DOPING GRID GAMES BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, October 22.—Tradition and psychology enter into col- lege foot ball more than any ‘With all the great minds are dead wrong. There is a problem stupendous intellects, and in solving it they might find that they a valuable contribution to the whole broad subject of metaphysics. Why, for example, will 11 young men who are absolutely courageous go out and defeat some eleven which is a better foot ball outfit than they are, and the next week tackle some weaker team and fail, simply be- cause in the course of the vears this rival has developed an Indian sign? It happens all the time. And the curious thing is that more often than not the breaks of the game will fall unerringly to the team holding the psychological advantage. A case in point is the Harvard- Dartmouth game at Cambridge to- morrow. Granted that the two elevens will take the field evenly matched—which is by no meaps cer- tain—the Green, through possession of a mental edge, is likely to win. On the other hand, Dartmouth has never beaten Yale and always ap- proaches the Elis in a mood of doubt. In 1924 the Hanoverians ought to have beaten Yale on the basis of the progress of the two elevens at that time. But the game ended in a tie. Last week the Green was farther ad- vanced than the New Haven crew, but lost the game. But against Harvard Dartmouth romps out upon the gridiron with no thought of defeat; doubt never enters into the Green's preliminary survey of the game. This would be the case even were the Crimson not in the po- sition in which this game will' find them—an outfit evidently progressing toward the day when it will be an eleven worthy of Harvard, but which has not yet arrived. Dartmouth will have the handicap of a hard game against Yale last week, and this may affect her. But the Green should win the Ohio State, which meets Iowa to- morrow, has never defeated the Hawkeyes. This may mean some- thing when the two elevens meet at Columbus. Any doubt that may have existed as to the strength of Towa was elimi- nated last week when the lowans came within two inches of tying the score with Illinois. The Buckeyes size up as the finest Ohio State eleven since 1921, The hard game with Columbia—for it was a hard game in spite of the score—showed up flaws in the play of the Columbus eleven. In the de- gree in which these defects have been eliminated rests Ohio's chances of victo Cowboy Kutsch, Jowa's tempera- mental backfield star, will take a lot in stopping, but in Grim, Marek and Eby, the Scarlet and Gray has a trio who also will require much effort to hold them in check. Line plays will figure prominently in the out- come of this struggle, but the writer believes that Ohkio has the heavier armament and will win. The 1llinois-Michigan game should be a sizzle The forward passing combination of Friedman to Ooster- growing out of a rugged and running attack, will be a tough problem for Zuppke's men to solve. Illinois has an ace in Peters, a versatile back, and still another star Kassel, at end, not overlooking Daugherty, another back. But the team as a whole has suffered through —— L GRT VAT S—— SWEATERS For Every Need For Golf—Dress School—Sports Business S Sport Mart 914 F—1303 F—1410 N. Y.

It looks as though the Urbana crowd will be more formidable a week or so later in the season than it will be on Saturday, and it will be just a bit surprising if Yost's maize and blue warriors do not take the Urbana team into camp. Brown’s new coaching system will have a rigid test at New.:Haven, where the Providence eleven en- counters Yale. The Eli's may be sagging a trifle after the grilling setto with Dartmouth, but there is not the slightest reason to suppose that the Brunonlans are equipped to defeat their big Connecticut rival. Strange things, of course, happen in | foot ball, and the whisper is that | Brown is going to suprise Yale. Maybe so. On the face of things, though, the outlook is that the oyt- come of the game will go true to preliminary form.

HARVARD TEAM HOPEFUL OF BEATING DARTMOUTH Eleven Has Been Showing Vast Improvement—This Clash and One Between Yale and Brown Are Topliners in East Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 22.—Harvard and Dartmouth, Yale and Brown command most attention among tomorrow's Eastern gridiron clashes. The feeling of optimism at Harvard, whose team has been improving after a poor start, has been dampened somewhat by the loss of Leo Daley, veteran lineman. Capt. Horton of Dartmouth aiso will be out of tomorrow’s game at the Harvard Stadium. Brown will give Yale, conqueror right to the mythical Eastern title. Brown will be handicapped by the absence of its regular tackles, Hodges and Guerney, called home by illness of relatives. Lehigh has lost four straight and Princeton expects no trouble. Colgate has a lot of fancy forward passes to spring on Navy. Pennsylvania, challenger to Yale's supremacy in the East, is planning to send a full quota of regulars against ‘Willlams to bring the hidden-ball at- tack to perfection for Illinois next ‘week. Nothing serious is foreseen at West Point in the Boston University ad- vance on Army. The Army regulars will be saved to play Yale next week. Columbia will take it easy with Duke in order to be set for Cornell next week. Cornell will be idle to- morrow. A crippled Syracuse team will meet Penn_ State. Carr, leacing scorer of the East; Cook and Goldman, first- string backs, are out with serious in- Jurtes. Fordham will play Washington and Jefferson minus two star backs.
