SPORTS. gecEe e 1 MOUNTAINEERS “GET BACK” ¢ Prove They Have a Powerful Eleven in Tie Battle | With Orie,of East’s Be: Big Time of Ho BY H. C. BYRD. ST VIRGINIA UNIVEF plans to bring he week to meet George- an eleven fully cap- of holding its own against almost any opponent. At Jeast, that is the word that comes from Morgantown. A little more than a vear Pittsburgh simply swamped Mountaineers, it seemed that ( town might have rather an easy con test for its homecoming day, but the 7-to-7 tie in the contest with Lafayette, undoubtedly one o1 the most powerful teams in the ates that CUoaen Rogers h: ully re- vamped his line-up. At the beginning of the season W Virginia_ felt it would have a team, and victory by a wide margin in jts first game indicated as much, but then came a tie with Washington and Lee and right after that a 40-to-0 defeat_at the hands of Pittshurg Then Coach Rogel n shifting h men, and Saturday faced La with almost a completely line-up.

That me: an alert, capable, experienced and well balanced hard-playing combination. In short, it is like enough to be a worthy opponent for any school. Georgetown plans to make its hom coming day a big affair, the bigg of the knd the unive has held. Tt is expected that alumni will come from considerable distances, and certainly practically all Georgetown graduates in Washington are certain to be on hand. Some festivities in the shape of a smoker and general get-togethe are to be held Friday night ahd a big dance Saturday. . Last week Georgetown had its string of victories cut short by the defeat at Syracuse, and more or less un pectedly, too. Foot ball men who had watched Syracuse were of the opinion that Georgetown should win by three touchdowns. One foot ball ach told the writer last week that Syracuse had a poor line and George- town ouglht to make it resemble a ta et after a group of sharpshooter had been pecking away at it for half an hour. Georgetown lost because it apparently was outplayed in certain vespects and because it could not keep its attack going down inside the 20- yard line. However, that defeat at Syracuse should not prevent Georgetown pl ing good foot ball against West V ginia. The Blue and Gray alway: been mnoted for its ability to r an occasion, and some really wonder- ful games have been put up by poor Georgetown teams, and Georgetown's team this year is far from being in that class, The Blue and Gray did not fare so well at Syracuse, but Saturday before a returned throng of' its own grad- uates another story may be told. i George Washington’s victory over Rutgers is quite a star in Coach Crum’s crown. The New Brunswick eleven is not so strong this year, but mevertheless any time a team like that which represents George Wash- ington goes up there and brings back the long end of the score it is an ac- complishment worthy of notice. As a matter of fact, though, George Washington has a_more experienced and better foot ball team than it is heing given credit for. And in addition to that the team is well coached, so| there really is no reason why it should not be playing good foot ball. Steh- man, playing in one of the back posi- tions, is big, fast, and a clever ball carrier. And the other backs are not back numbers either. Everybody who knows athletic con- ditions here in the District would like 10 see George Washington come to the front. It has many difficuities, it is true, but it also has many ad- vantages. Whatever measure of suc- s the Buft and Blue may attain in its season, nearly everybody will be wishing it well. Catholic University won its fourth straight game by trimming St. John's of Brooklyn two touchdowns. The New Yorkers had a good foot ball} but were never able to get team, They presented across for a score. a forward pass attack that was good, | and three times carried the ball al- most to the goal line, where valiant ds by the Brookland play pre- vented further advances. In it was in these tests on defer C. U. did its best work. Proba outstanding part of its play was in the fact that it proved able to stund up under emergencies of this kind. Maryland beat an exceptional foot ball team when it won from Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Norfolk.

South Carolina has some of the best material in the South, its line especially being far |above the average. Alabama apparently could gain in | the middle of the field against Georgia | Tech, but could not get anywhere once it took the ball to the 20-yard | mark, and for that reason Georgia Tech was victor over it for the.first time in four or five years. And Ala- bama lost the first game it has dropped to a Southern Conference team since 1923. However, Alabama need not feel upset by its defeat, as it has had more than its share of victories in the last few seasons, Washington and Lee’s effort against Princeton was satisfactory, although it was not as good as last year, when the Tiger was held to a T-to-7 tie. When it is considered that Princeton has been wiping up the gridiron with some teams, a 14-to-0 defeat for the Generals is' not anything to worry about. Virginia captured its contest from Virginia Military Institute in the other big game in the South Atlantic section. The Lexington Cadets seemed to have the stronger team, but could not carry on a consistent attack. Vir- ginia seems to be developing rapidly and in November probably will be one of the most difficult elevens in the South to whip. STANFORD GETS TIE BY STIRRING FINISH By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, The sensational 13-13 tie bhattle of Stanford and Southern California and the smashing 16-0 victory of California over Oregon were high lights Satur- day in as exciting a midseason cam- paign as Far Western foot ball has recorded. Some 60,000 persons saw a desperate Stanford eleven, on the short end of a 13-7 score and facing almost certain defeat, unleash a terrific charge that carried them over the U. S. C. goal |line a few seconds before the gun jended the game.

Va., October 17. —The benching of five West Virginia University “regulars” after the Pitt disaster and their replacement with Scott and Brewster, tackles; Hogue, a guard; Garrett, a wingman, and Larue sophomore fullback, made an entirely new team out of the Mountaineers, who Saturday went out and played Lafayette College to a complete stand- still and a T-to-7 score. It was one of the biggest upsets in college foot ball. The ‘“new” Mountaineer eleven, which found five men starting their first game of college foot ball, put up a great offensive and defensive fizht and took part in the greatest game that has been played in Morgantown since the sport was adopted at West Virginia_ University in 1891, according to_old time foot ball fans. Julian Sgott. giant sophomore tackle, and Walter Brewster, who has been a candidate for the West Virginia eleven less than a vear, displayed a brand of foot ball which stamps them as reg- ulars from now on. Hogue and Garrett, who are in their second year of com- petition, will be hard to oust after their brilliant showing against Lafayette. “Bus” Larue, the backfleld member of the new quintet, played like-a star and late in the game returned a punt to the Lafayette 32-yard line by a brilliant 37-yard dash through a broken field. Larue crashed through the Maroon line for repeated gains and the box- car fullback will unquestionably be a regular, barring injuries, for the re- mainder of the season. The great “come-back” of the Moun- taineers stamps them as a dangerous foe which is powerful enough to win any game on the balance of the scheduls By the Associated Press, HICAGO, October 17.—Having once invaded the East this season with great success, the ‘Western Conference is now preparing a_warm . reception for one of the big Eastern foot ball teams next Saturday, when Pennsyl- vania comes to meet Chicago. The Pennsylvanians are likely to find a different team from the one they ran through and over last year at Philadelphia, for Chicago is now one of the conference leaders, with victorles over Indiana and Purdue, the latter the conqueror of Harvard two weeks ago. In its 7-6 victory over Purdue Sat- urday Chicago showed one of the smartest foot ball teams Coach A. A. Stagg has turned out in his 36 years on the midway. Notre Dame’s great scoring machine will give Indiana’s new-found “stone wall” a real test Saturday. The Hoo- siers stopped Minnesota, including the all-American Fullback Herb Joesting, for a 14-14 tie, but Joesting still fa- vored the lame leg which has troubled him since the opening of the season.

ADISON, Wis., October 17.— To just what degree consis- tency of performance will be exacted of the various candi dates for the 1927 All-America eleven depends upon the number of men who are held to be available | for positions on the mythical team at thie end of the season. Cer nly two of the men who had ziven early promise of stellar brilliancy in the Middle West turned in games, which, to say the least, were disap- pointing. ‘They were young Ralph Welch, the Purdue back who ran wild against Venerable Harvard two weeks c0, and the mighty Joesting of Minnesota, unanimous choice for All- ‘America fullback last year. Welch Fumbles Badly. Tn the Chicago-Purdue game Welch turned in some nifty runs, but de- veloped a woeful tendency to mishand- ling of the ball. He made three bad fumbles, one of which resulted in the Chicago _touchdown that won the game. Of course, the Boilermakers will play many more games and the youthful star will thus have additional chances to regain the laurels he won at Cambridge. As for Joesting, there neyer was a better demonstration of the’ fact that a star, no matter how great. needs the effective co-operation of his team- mates, especially In the line, if he is to shine brightly as a line-cracking ball carrier. What was demonstrated at_Joe- sting’s expense in the Notre Dame game last year, was again proven in the Indiana contest on Saturday, which was that you can not drive the most powerful back in the country into the line and expect him to make touchdowns unaided. The whole Minnesota team, in fact, seemed to be bent on reproducing its 1926 record. Here is a great, powerful engine that does not accelerate quickly. It needs time and a lot of trackage to get under full headway. When this has been accomplished, look out. Gophers Are Dangerous. The Gophers are sure to be danger- ous, one might even say deadly, for all opponents that they may meet from now on. Never again will they take a game for granted as they did the Indiana contest. The mood in which they left for Bloomington was Penn Is Likely to Find Going Tough in Clash With Chicago ‘The Wolverines have not been beaten in the conference for nearly two years —since Northwestern downed them in the mud at Soldier Field, Chicago, 8 to 2, by virtue of a trick safety. Northwestern's Wildcats, develop- ing one of the best systems of inter- ference the Big Ten has seen this year, face Illlinois Saturday. The Wildeats’ hope for renewal of their lease on the conference championship depends largely upon this game, for their next three Conference contests, Purdue, Indiana and Iowa, are fig- ured to be easier to win, barring up- sets. Illinois has yet to face a Big Ten opponent, and has shown both good and bad foot ball so far. The two teams have not met since Red Grange humbled Northwestern four years ago. Purdue Plays Wisconsin. Purdue and Wisconsin, each counted out of the championship race after one defeat, clash at Madison. Judg- ing from his brief performance Satur- day, Capt. Cotton Wilcox of Purdue, all-conference halfback last year, will be recovered from his splintered ankle to pair with Ralph Welch, the Boiler- makers’ sophomore flash, who fum- bled his way into partial eclipse against Chicago. Minnesota's powerful backfleld was likewise guilty of costly fumbles, which Indiana turned into a touch- down, to tie 14-14 with Joesting and his mates. Against Iowa Saturday the Gopher machine will need even more drive than it showed against the Hoosiers, if it is to stay in the fight for Big Ten leadership. The Hawkeyes have had an easy fortnight since their defeat by Ohlo State, and they showed smart teamwork Satur- day in beating Wabash 38 to 0.

Every one else had the same idea about the game. But the Hooslers entered the game with the spirit of an underdog which knows that it has long teeth, and the flerce mood they brought to the fleld against the Northmen proved uncon querable. Even in defeat the writer found a great deal of promise in the game which Wisconsin played against Michigan. The team gained more yards and more first downs than did the Wolverine machine, displaying a diversity of attack which showed the headway which Glenn Thistlethwait had been making with a green team. Oosterbaan Is Great. Michigan's great ace, Oosterbaan, the man whose individual prowess turned the tide to his team, was a former all-American sta, who in every way lived up to the great reputation he won last year. He was a defensive marvel at all times. He tackled all over the field, he starred in the for- ward pass and was generally a blazing meteor in all departments of play. One of Michigan's touchdowns grew out of a long run by Hoffman, and the other was the development of a fumble by Wisconsin. The Badgers’ offensive system produced one touchdown on a forward pass which was not allowed because of a penalty. This Michigan team has an air of real promise. It is, first, the inspira- tion of Oosterbaan, then it has Gilbert and Hoffman in the backfield, together with a set of forwards who would be formidable when they co-ordinate somewhat better than the case on Sat- urday. It does not suggest a coming great eleven, but principally it ought to develop into a good one. G. U. GRIDDER SPIRITED, THOUGH LEG IS BROKEN Georgetown has a game player in Steve Barabas, fullback. Suffering a broken leg in the final period of the Syracuse game Saturday, he insisted upon returning home with the Blue anld Gray squad with the limb in a cast, although a surgeon urged him to remain in Syracuse. ‘Visited by Head Coach Lou Little yesterday at Georgetown University Hospital Barabas assured the mentor that he was going to fight his way back to condition for the Lafayette zame here on November 5. 1, MONDAY.

N GEORGIA TECH GAINS PRAISE OF LOSING FOE By the Associated Press, ATLANTA, Ga., October 17.—Wal- lace Wade the past week end had his first chance in three years to com- ment on a foot ball game that the Alabama Crimson Tide had lost in the Southern Conference, when Georgs Tech won, 13 to 0. “We were defeated by a great fight ing team and there are no alibis,” Wade said. “Tech deserved to win. It was not only the best Tech team Alabama has met since I became coach, but It was also the smartest.
