42 : . College Elevens of This Vicinity Run Into Formidable SPORTS. BIG BATTLES ARE AHEAD FOR FOUR OF SIX TEAMS Going Will Be R:ugh for Georgeto‘;'n and Maryland, While C. U. and Gallaudet Will Have Plenty to Do in Tilts With Sturdy Foes. BY H. C. BYRD. OUR of the six local colleges that have foot ball games Sat- urday are due for rough after- noons, as the opponents they are to meet are at least a good match and probably in more cases than one have the shade. Much already has been written of what Georgetown and Maryland may expect to face in going against Navy and Virginia, but very little has been told of what Catholic University and Gallaudet are meeting, and both should have plenty to do against Holy Cross and Delaware. ‘ American University against Bridge- water College may not have such easy going, but George Washington ought to win from Randolph-Macon without difficulty and run up a good score. Georgetown is going through a week nf practice which consists more of polishing its offense and tuning up its defense than of any real rough, hard workouts. The Blue and Gray is in good shape and the coaches do not | feel that any chances should be taken of having the team go wrong because of staleness. It 18 known, or rather there is what s thought to be an accurate conjec. ure, that Navy will have on the fleld s physically powerful and versatlle eleven ready to fight every inch of the way to protect the high honors it has won so far by beating Princeton and Michigan. Under any circumstances, in play- ing Navy, Georgetown would be against a tough team and face an * exceedingly difficult game, but in the present circumstances this is doubly true. Navy at any time in the last| month would have been a hard team for any other eleven to beat, and this | week probably will find no difference in its status, as far as that phase of it is concerned. Georgetown is in good shape, but | the Navy also is ready, which really | ineans a harder afternoon for George- | town than if it were not quite so capable itself. Virginia is due to bring to College Park to meet Maryland a veteran cleven that has been rushing along n rapld strides toward great helghts. It reached great helghts last week when it beat Washington and Lee by 30 to 7, and especially is this true when it 1s known that Virginia really, with any luck at all, should have won by more than 40 points. Virginia has two big tackles, both standing over 6 feet and weighing around 195 pounds. It has big guards and fast ends and backs. In sort,| Virginia is such a formidable combi- nation at this moment, as indicated its one-sided victory over a team that tied Princeton, that Maryland )r any other Southern eleven would consider {tself due for some hard sledding. A Maryland scout who watched Vir- ginfa play last week says “Virginia's passing game was the most brilliant 1 ever saw anywhere. Everything it did was right and timed to the tenth of a second, a, Virginia not only has brilliant recelvers of the pass, but also accurate throwers. Incidentally, both Friedburg and Ahner, ends, are mighty good car- rlers of the ball after they catch ft. Maryland backs will have to do better lefensive work than ever before if they expect to stop Virginia's heav- ing of the ball.” tholic University goes against in Holy Cross a team that defeated Har- vard. The Brooklanders have no de- lusions as to the kind of afternoon they must spend. They hope for the best, but realize they have only an outside chance for victory. Holy Cross always is strong, but this Fall wem]s to be just a little better than 1sual, Gallaudet is not to play a big team, 1s hig teams are considered, but, com paratively, it is due for just as hard L game as any of the three colleges | mentioned. The Kendall Greeners have | uot the facytties nor the men pos- sessed by University of Delaware, which it plays, consequently may be expected to put up a good game agalnst odds. At that, though, it would be no surprise to see Gallaudet win, because the Kendall Greeners have a_ fighting team and one that Teddy Hughes has well coached not only in foot ball fundamentals but » in tact American University may win from Bridgewater College, but there is t much way of telling just how good a team the latter has. George Wash- ington ought to roll up a big score | on Randolph-Macon, the latter not having near the eleven possessed by the Hatchetites. While Navy has as an opponent of real worth, Georgetown, Army also is due for some lively mixups before the afternoon Is ended on Saturday. *fhe oceaston for the Army will be the annual fray with Notre Dame in New | York, and what these institutions do not show in the way of good feot ball is 10t to be seen in many places, Last ar the Army won without much fic Now Notre Dume has : much tter eleven than repre it then and varently. thing—one of t the year. What probably the best | game plaved in the Western Confer ence this vear is to be staged at Co- Jumbus between Mic and Ohio State. Both_ universit Jent records, barring Michig: fall at hands of Nav nd the whole conference is teeming with conje as to which will emerge victorious. Ohlo State is far above its strength of the last two or three vears, while Michigan has a powerful and versa- tile outfit. me at_Pittsburgh between h and Washington and Jef- ferson right sure to be one well worth while. It usually is, and this Year is not likely to be an exception, Jespite the fact that Pitt does mot| seem quite to measure up to the other | teams it has turned out in rm-vl\(l vears. ! * A real game 4 scheduled out on the | Pacific Coast between Stanford and University of Washington. The con- test is to take place at Palo Alto and, while Washington is not quite so good as a year ago, still seems strong enough to be very formidable. Syracuse and Colgate play their an- nual game at Syracuse. This contest is to that section what the Yale-Har- vard game is to New England. Washington and Lee and Virginia Polytechnic Institute play one of the games that ally stand out in the South Atlantic section. The edge, though, is taken off the contest some- what by the fact that last week the former was badly beaten by Virginia and the latter by South Carolina. Virginia Military Institute goes to Kentucky for a_game with University of Kentucky. The former is weaker than it has been for some time and Kentucky ought to win. G. W. HARRIERS RUNNING Hurd Willett, George Washington University’s cross-country luminary, who, with four other members of the Colontal hill-and-dale team, is compet- ing today in the national champion- ship run in Philadelphia Saturday, will show his wares in the Middle At- lantic intercollegiate test at New York. Besides Willett these harrlers are upholding the G. W. colors today in Philadelphia against a crack field: ‘Wilbur Baker, Floyd Pomeroy, Ralph Brown and Perry Natluck. ' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, BILL LUKE, T SAM F’R:EDBURG, ckle. end. Luke stands 6 feet 2 inches and tips the scales at about 200 pounds. Friedburg, one of the lightest ends playing foot ball, is 5 feet 8 inches tall, but weighs less than 145. However, he is fast as a flash and one of the best forward pass catchers in the game. VIRGINIA SHOWS POWER Has Done Well Since First Two Contests, Coming to Life in Battle With Was| It Displays Real Scoring Strength. UNIVERSITY, Va., November 11.— University of Virginia's eleven, which will_play Maryland at Collega Park on Saturday, after getting off to & bad start, came back strong to defeat ‘Washington and Lee, 30 to 7, scoring against the Generals the largest num- ber of points made by a Cavaller eloven ‘since 1890. Whether the sea- son as a whole is to be regarded as a success or as a failure depends upon the three remaining games. So far the Virginians have won from V. M. I, South Carolina and Wash- ington and Lee within the Southern Conference and from Lynchburg Col- lege outside. Hampden-Siduey was played to a tle, and the Cavaliers lost to Georgla and Virginia Tech. After meeting Maryland, the Cava- Hers will play Randolph-Macon on No- vember 20, and the season is to close on Thanksgiving against North Car- olina here. Overconfidence Hurts. An_overconfident Cavalier eleven met Hampden-Sidney on the scorch- ing afternoon of the last Saturday in September and lacked the ability to score. Hampden-Sidney never threat- ened, but they power to hold Virginia. As if the Virginians did not look poor enough, they went up against Georgia on the following Saturday and were licked badly by a Bulldog team, playing in midseason form. The score was 27 to T. Virginia Military Institute was de- feated 14 to 7 in a ragged game. Each team scored once on a fumble by the opposition, and Virginia’s margin of victory resulted in a forward pass had the defensive hington and Lee, When When Virginia played V. P. L in Blacksburg for the dedication of the new memorial hall and Miles Field, the Tech team was rated as the strongest in the State. Within 5 min- utes Tech had scored a touchdown, but this was all that the home team could do. In the second half the Vir- ginians threatencd to score by making | three marches down the field, gaining twice as much ground as Tech, and | penetrating within 3 yards of the Tech goal, only to be thrown back by & penalty and to lose the ball on a fumble. Capt. Mackall's toe booted over the two field goals that gave Virginia her 6-to-0 victory over South Caro- lina in the fourth Southern Confer- ence game, which was played in Co- lumbifa. It was a battle between two good defensive teams, with neither able to cross the other's gaal for a touchdown. Upsets the Generals. Then came the Washington and Lee game, with the Cavaliers rated as | the underdog. The Virginians went on the field picked to go down before the Generals for the fourth time in as many years. One minute had not passed when Virginia scored on a 40- vard pass from Glauber to Friedburg. Four minutes later the Virginlans added another touchdown on a 15-yard pass from Hushion to Laird. The game ended with Virginia leading, 30 to 7. The Maryland eleven that defeated | Yale appears to be the best team that | Virginia has met so far, for, like the Virginians, the Marylanders were slow in getting started, but have learned | m Hushion to Friedburg. MICHIGAN WORKS ON LINE FOR OHIO STATE CONTEST By the Associated Press. 1 CHICAGO, November 11 (#) Michigan’s line rather than Michigan's brilliant backfield was burdened b; s today with a major share ibility in Saturday's en- h Ohlo State, which merits as the 1926 version of the annual “crucial battle” in the western conference. The attention which has focused on the aerial game of the two elevens has shifted, on the eve of their meet- ing, to the line of scrimmage, with a weneral agreement that the result will te determined there. Both teams are groomed to a fine edge on alr offense and a running game, each with clever backfleld com- Dinations, and the coaches toda: focused their interest in counter- kst devised to cripple ssing pl v line work. The linemen among the 34 playvers ordered to the train by Yost average ome six pounds more than the Ohi“\ forwards, and Wilce labored long at Columbus to offset the odds.

TEAM FORCED TO MAKE CHANGES LEXINGTON, Va., November 11.— Virginia’s Military Institute's foot ball party will leave Lexington in automobiles this evening for Staun- ' ton to entrain for Charleston, W. Va., where the flying squadron will clash with the Kentucky Wildcats | Saturday. { Developments since the Carolina game indicate that there will be sev- eral changes in the cadet line-up. | Yates will replace Moss at right end | !and Smith will be shifted to tackle, to take the place of Moorman, who | was injured in the Tarheel tilt. Nabers also sustained a painful in- | | jury at Chapel Hill, and an infection has set in that will keep the flashy cadet back out of the Charleston game. Harrington, a speedy ball carrier, who weighs only 132 pounds, probably will get the call # the backfield as a running mate of Barnes, Harrier and Walker. | MARINE GRID TEAM ON ANOTHER JAUNT Quantico Marines, who recently re. turned to base after a two-week trip, during which they won three games of four, are on another trip and were to meet Temple University gridmen this afternoon in the Sesquicentennial Stadium at Philadelphia. Tonight the Leathernecks will leave | the Quaker City for Detroit, whero they are to engage the University of Detroit Saturday. ‘Wigmore, regular tackle, probably is out for the season, because of an tnjury to his knee suffered in the re- ot fray with John Carroll. Jack McQuade, fullback, also is on the casualty but every effort is being made to nurse him back to shape for the President's Cup game here November 20. McQuade was hurt in the Catholic University battle. ! —_— At the Sign of the Established 1893 Big Values in Fine Tailoring Established 1893 leanlfsgiving Specials , Each year at this time we offer a big special for the bene- fit of those who want to “Dress Up” for the holidays.

MUTT AND JEFF OF VIRGINIA ELEVEN, WHICH MEETS MARYLAND HERE SATURDAY WESTERN-CENTR AL GAME BEARS GREATLY ON TITLE Win by Former Tomorrow Would Give at Least a | Tie for Honors—Tech, Which Smothers East- ern, Has Chance to Carry Off Championship. It appears today that tomorrow’s clash between Central and Western may just about decide the high school gridiron champion. If the George- town warriors triumph they cannot be kept from the title, although a vie- tory for Tech over Business Novem- ber 16 in the series’ final would en- able the Manual Trainers to tie the Red team from across the creek. Tech and Western are deadlocked—tied for the lead. Coach Hap Hardell's light but doughty Tech eleven, starting the titular series without a single player that might properly be called a regu- lar, now looms a strong contender for the crown. Displaying a determined and smooth attack yesterday, the Manual Trainers sprung another surprise in a series that has been marked by upsets and vanquished Charley Guyon's scrappy Eastern High team, 34 to 0. Tech concentrated on keeping Capt. Buck O'Brien, hard-working fullback of the Light Blue and White, out the path of their ball carrfers and were able to get by most of the other Lincoln Parkers during most of the | afternoon. At that the fighting Hast- ern pilot simply would not be denied on a number of occasions and swept through to fell the runner. Hardell’s proteges started with a drive that fired the shivering crowd and within the first few minutes of play had scored two touchdown: Immediately after the opening kick- off they begun a steady hammering toward Eastern’s goal that soon cul- minated when Shaw Blackistone shot off left tackle for 13 vards and a touch- down. He also place-kicked the goal. ‘While the spectators were still buzz- ing about this flashy offensive shown by the Manual Trainers, “Rabbitt” Florence seized the ball on the very next kick-off and, dodging cleverly and aided by splendid interference, ran 96 yards for the second Tech marker. Blackistone again booted for the extra point. From this stage Tech always held the whip hand. Eastern played some- what better in the second half, but never was dangerous.
