SPORTS. ... » Little Sees No “Set-Up’ EASTON ELEVEN STRONG, COACH AT HILLTOP AVERS| | Reports of Scounis Convince Georgetown Tutor That His Team Will Find Plenty of Opposition in Tomorrow’s Game—Break May Tell. BY H. C. BYRD. YHILE a general impression seems to have got around that Georgetown is likely to have an easy game with Lafayette tomorrow, Coach Lou Little of the Dlue and Gray looks upon the contest in almost any light but that. It is Little’s opinion, based on reports from his scouts who have watched Lafayette, that the visitors will present an exceptionally strong eleven, and that Georgetown will have to move at a faster gait than in any of its previous contests to crown its banner with victory. “About half the people I meet,” says Little, “seem to have got the idea from somewhere that we are in for an easy game with Lafayette. From in- formation I have been able to gather from our people who scouted the games Lafayette played recently, espe- cially the one with Penn State, it seems to me there is little real reason for such an impression. Lafayette has a lot of good foot ball players, just about as good as ours, and how it ever lost to Penn State last week the way it did we have not been able to figure “You know, Lafayette made more first downs than Penn State did and was a much more consistent ground gainer than Penn State. And. what is more, Lafayette will have in the game against us tomorrow two or three men who have not been in the last two games on account of injuries. Mike Wilson, for instance, is back at halfback and is one of the best backs in the East. “The way the game shapes up to me, it seems that whichever team gets the jump at the beginning will come near winning. If we get going in the first few minutes, I think we will win, but if Lafayette gets the break at the start and really gets under way, we are going to have our troubles, and plenty of them.” Georgetown has been working out against Lafayette plays this week, the freshman team having been using the Eastonians’ offense. The first day or so of scrimmage found the plays troublesome to the Blue and Gray varsity, but since that they have not gone so well. Two backs and a tackle from last year, Hannigan, O'Neil and Mosko, are back in the Georgetown line-up and may start the game. If they do, all probably will put forth extraordi- ' nary efforts to make up for the things that led to their suspension two weeks ago. ‘Georgetown ought to be somewhat stronger against Lafayette with them in the line-up than it was in the West Virginia contest, provided, of course, they measure up to the standard of , their last year's play. Chimenti and Wilson, who were picked at Lafayette as regular half- backs at the beginning of the year, will be in the line-up tomorrow. Both j really are fine players, and if at their best should give Georgetown many a troubled moment. Shellenberger, who has been at halfback, has been shift- | ed to quarterback for tomorrow’s con- test. It also is possible that Atkinson, big end, may be back at his regular job in place of Sherwood, sophomore, who has been holding dbwn the posi- tion during Atkinson’s injury. Lafayette certainly has a team big enough to do hifg it de- sires on a foot bail“fleld=if weight is much of a consideration. If Atkinson starts on right end, he weighs 20 & and Houser, the other end, tips the scales at 190. Burnett, one tackle, weighs 193, and Cothran, the other, 209. Warren, at left guard, tips the scales at 210 pounds, and Miller, the other man who flanks center, 193. Kressler, at center, weighs 170, while Chimenti and Wilson each weigh 175, Guest 170 and Shallenberger, quarter- back, 158. This gives the Eastonians a line that averages close to 195 pounds from end to end—and not many heavier lines are playing foot ball. It may be that Lafayette has plenty of material for a great eleven, but on account of injuries, and possibly for other reasons, just has not been able to strike its stride. If that is the case, then tomorrow might be the day for it to begin to play up to a much higher standard than it has shown prior to this week. If the Maroon team does hit a stride of which it may be capable, judging by its personnel, then Georgetown will have a much merrier afterhoon than anybody seems to expect. George Washington and University of Maryland are likely to get all the opposition they want in tomorrow’s games, the former at Penn State and the latter at Yale. Penn State appar- ently has one of its best teams, pos- sibly the best it has had in years, while Yale generally is being given credit for having one of the greatest elevens in Yale foot ball history, and that means something. Both local in- stitutions know they are up against the toughest kind of propositions and are saying little about their prospects. George Washington is to take to Penn State a small squad, too small a squad, in fact, to engage in the kind of foot ball it must play to make even a creditable showing. The Buff and Blue may do far better than its sup- porters anticipate, but it is unlikely to play through a game of that kind without casualties, and when it begins to remove its regulars then it weak- ens considerably more than the-aver- age team does because of scarcity of reserves, Maryland will be in better shape physically against Yale than it has been for any contest in the last three weeks. Every member of two teams, and two or three men besides, is ready to play, although several have rather painful minor bruises. Last year Maryland gave the Northern foot ball world a real jolt by trimming the Blue, 15 to 0. This year Yale has practically the same men as played on that Yale eleven of last season, but it seems to be a far different combination. Maryland also has a better team than that it took to the Yale Bowl a year ago. American University goes to An- napolis for a game in the morning with St. John’s College. The local scho. . is not banking on winning, thinking it has little better than an outside chance against the Annapolis eleven. Blue Ridge College comes here to play Gallaudet, and Gallaudet is almost certain to win. Catholic University has no game to- morrow, and Coach Jack McAuliffe is giving his team almost a rest week. The squad will begin to round into shape, though, Monday in preparation for the contest with St. Xavier Col- lege, at Cincinnati, on Saturday, No- vember 12. Illinois Is to Revive Huddle For Tomorrow’s Iowa Battle By the Associated Press. HICAGO, November 4.—The famous huddle system of call- ing foot ball signals, discarded this Fall by its originator, Coach Robert C. Zuppke of Illinois, because of new rule restric- tions, has been revived in Zuppke’s preparation for the Iowa game tomor- row. Only 15 seconds time is permitted for the huddle, under penalty of a five- yard setback for delaying the game. At the opening of this season Zuppke explained that the time was too short. 80 the huddle was abandoned after six years of use. ‘The Illini went through their final rehearsal, with the varsity clustered about the quarterback in a circle be- hind the line of action. Whether the huddle will be used in the three re- maining conference games of the schedule Zuppke would not say. Big Game at South Bend. The outstanding contest of the Mid- dle West, between Minnesota and Notre Dame at South Bend, will have an attendance of but 25,000, the small- est at any important foot ball game in this section for many years, but still a capacity crowd for Cartier Field. The greatest pep session in Notre Dame history was planned for tonight. Notre Dame has not lost a game on the home field since 1905. It was a tossup today whether Rockne would follow his usual style of beginning the game with his second team. or take no chances against the powerful Gophers and send in his real warriors at the opening kick-off. Coach Spears frowned upon the cus- tomary demonstration as the team left Minneapolis last night. The Gophers planned a short workout at South Bend this afternoon, moving over to Niles, Mich., to spend the night. Capt. Benny Oosterbaan of Mich. igan, who changed from catcher to pitcher in the forward pass game of the Wolverines, has been working out at punting this week, to take the place of Louis Gilbert, if necessary, in the kicking department, too. Gilbert, who has only had two days of practice this week, went through the performance of safety man, to fill a weak place on defense. Coach Weiman of Michigan refused to give out his starting line- up, and there may be some changes from last Saturday, in view of the heavy scrimmage that was given the Wolverines last night, their first in several weeks. The big hope of the Maroons against Michigan seems to be Vin Libby, who was injured two weeks ago and has not been ready for use since the Pur- due game. His passes over the scrim- mage line, and Anderson's lateral tosses, made up the greater part of the final heavy workout for the Stagg- men. The Chicago ticket office an- nounced the sale of 57,000 seats for the game. Purdue Has Full Strength. Northwestern’s foot ball warriors and thefr hopes for remaining in the championship scramble were on the mend as Coach Hanley left for La- fayette today with 35 players, a 125- plece band and several hundred parti- sans. “Cotton” Wilcox and “Pest” Welch will be paired at the halves for Purdue, for the first time this season, with Wilson at quarter and Caraway at fullback. The Purdue varsity scam- pered through the reserves for first downs on nearly every play in final drill yesterday. Coach Thistlethwaite of Wisconsin, who has been saving his varsity grid- ders from scrimmage all week, may keep them on the sidelines tomorrow while the reserves hurl passes at Grin; nell. Coach Page of Indiana has beer developing the same strategy at In- diana for the Michigan State game, with special attention to strengthen- ing the Indiana line for protection of the passers. The Hoosiers collapsed in the last period against Harvard, and the passes became wild and fell gen- erally into Harvard hands. In Austria the whole movement of athletic sports has been taken up by the women and girls as well as by the men and boy ; THE_EVEN, 9 o in NG STAR, WASHI NGTON, D.
