BYRD. 00T BALL games last Saturday produced some surprising re- sults, not so much because of b careless slips to creep into their per- | formance. As o whole, though, the team did just about as’ well as it expected. It knew that it would have to face a fighting, hard-playing eleven, but felt it had an even chance to win—and win it did. Catholic University played well at Holy Cross, but found itself against too much better foot 1. The New Englanders were undoubtedly a bad bunch to face on Saturday after they were defeated by Harvard, es- Park to see the game. Some of the students will go in automo- biles and others on the train. The game will draw a large W. and L. following, since both teams appear so evenly matched this year, and also on account of the keen rivalry that has sprung up be- tween the two schools. the cames 7 many of those of to seem that the offense is becoming the big part of foot ball, and that it will not be long before some switch favorable to the defense will have to be made in the rules.

Apache followers claim Tom Saw: ing developed ndication that it is likely to be only a short while before the defense is far outstripped. ; Unquestionably ‘many of the big scores, and much of the success of teanis on the offense, is dependent on “rules that favor offensive tactics and put greater burdens on the defens Tt is not likely to be long before team: that are evenly matched will come prett ar seoring two touchdowns or so against each other, instead of | playing with desperation to get a| score.

Take the games of last Saturday, for . instance.

Pittsburgh scored 23 points agninst Carnegie Tech’s 7. City Col- | lege of New York was vietor over Rhode Island State, 20 to 19. . Geor- gla, Vanderbilt, Washington and Lee and Alabama all ran up big scores on opponents generally in_their class. Midwest in Line. n the Middle West some big scores also were made. and it is likely | that more will be run up before the end of the season. It is noticeable that the teams that possess coaches who are yp to date and take advan- tage of everything they can in the way of offensive foot ball are the ones whose team’s are running up big counts. The teams more conservative- 1y coached are not dong so well. More ground gaining is taking place in foot ball games npw than ever was seen in two games a few vears ago, and the main reason for it is that the rules give so much latitude for offen- sive tactics that it is getting to be al- | most_impossible for any defense com- | pletely to stop any team, unless that team is =o far outclassed as not to be idered comparable under any con- Out Vanderbilt at the beginning of the Seasdn was rated by many as having in prospect the greatest eleven in its history. The Commodores so far are coming pretty close to living up to that prediction. A little more than a weck ago it lost to Texas, but in that game it gained a total of 372 yards, while Texas gained but little over ¢50. Baturday Vanderbilt took the measure of Tulane, heretofore rated as strong, and which gave Georgia Tech a terrific battle, by 32 to 0. It Is said that Van- derbilt has in Spears, quarterback, the best man behind any line in the South. Georgetown’s victory, by 25.to 0, over a team of the usual caliber of West Virginia is pleasing to its sup- porters and must be highly gratifying to its coach. And incidentally it is worth while to mention that the team, instead of suffering by thé suspension ©f three players, seems to have gained considerably thereby. At least, if re- sults count, then that bit of discipline ‘was one of the best things the George- town coach, Lou Little, has done for his squad in a long. while, No doubt existed of Georgetown's superiority. The Blue and Gray played better foot ball in every particular, and West Virginia never could stop its harddriving offense. The contest was gratifying to Georgetown also be- cause of the defeat suffered here last Year at the hands of West Virginia. Then the Blue and Gray had the game snatched away from it in the closing moments by a forward-passing drive it could not stop. Georgetown is playing good foot ball. 1t played good foot ball against Syracuse, the game it lost, but seems to have been considered to be against ® weaker team at that time than it actually was. Especially is that true if comparative scores count for any- thing. Penn State beat Pennsylvania, 20 to 0, the latter put up a great struggle with Chicago, yet Penn State could barely take the measure of Syra. cuse by 3 points. Georgetown seems to be much stronger than it was thought to be on the result of its game with Syracuse. A lot of people simply underestimated the strength of the New York eleven, | When it comes time to make all- star selections for teams picked at the end of each season, a young man of the names of Barnes at Virginia Mii- | tary Institute should come in for more than ordinary consideration. He Is about the bestlooking halfback seen in this section in many a day. It is doubtful if there has been a better. He can do everything and do it all about ten times better than even the £ood backs. Barnes weighs about 170 fast, has a clever hip sway and twist that makes it ible to hold him even s get their hands on him. nd scout deseribed him is Mike Stevens with 15 pounds of weight added and with! mbout twice the strength as far as running is concerned and he can do a lot of things that Mike couldn't.” And as Stevens was rated one of the cks in the South last year at viand it may be conceived that Barnes is quite a back, especially as he just measures up to the qualifications attributed to him by the Marylander who s wn Mar urday it fc had been predicted. did not do as an individial tire Old Liners in the game iond is not to ‘be found in scabulary, He simply is a er, and it was -reported Tech after the V.

GENERALS MOBILIZE TO MEET OLD LINERS LEXINGTON, Va., October 24.— Coach Herron's Washington and Lee gridders, with the Kentucky game off the slate, now look to the clash with University of Maryland at College Park Saturday in the Blue and White's second conference game in a row. When the Generals face the Old Liners they will send on the field a well rounded set of ball toters in Stearns, White, Lott and Howe, with ample reserve strength in Cohen, Bberhardt, Barelay and Barnety. All four of the first set are accurate passers and it is likely that the Gen- erals will pin their hopes largely up- on “flying” to victory. White has been going well at fullback this year and Lott and Howe are broken field runners de luxe. The line that will face the Old Liners will by no means be a green aggregation for in Spotts, Dorsey and Sproul, at ends, Coach Herron has two letter men and a reserve of a year ago. The tackle posts are well fortified with Fitzpatrick and Fisher, mono- gram men, and Hawkins, a sopho- more, At the guard posts there are Capt. Tips and Group, regulars of a year ago, and Streit, reserve last year. Latham has been playing both guard and center and Groop, Snodgrass, and Latham have been alternating at the pivot post. Coach Herron has been experiment- Ing with the center of his line lately and it is a mystery as to what start- ing line-up he will decide upon for the encounter next Saturday. The team as a whole has been moving along rapidly and should be at its height for the Maryland contest. - McTIGUE TO START WORK.
