Coach Maud Crum of the Colonials has been rather enthusiastic in praise of the newcomer, but whaat ally can do on a gridiron remained to be seen in today . le. Plenty of spirit was to be shown by supporters of both elevens, when the combat got under way. Monster pep meetings were held last night at €ach institution and the students put on edge for the renewal of the old rivalry, So enthused twere those at Catholic University that the bonfire they kindled on the campus at Brook- land necessitated the attention of quite a section of the city’s fire de- partments.

TROUNCES CENTRAL Much praise is being broadcast to- day of the Alumni “C” Club of Central ¥ngn School for arranging such an attractive foot ball contest as that in Central Stadium yesterday between the local Central team and Central High School of Charlotte, N. C., out- standing Southern scolastic team. Flashing a brilliant, colorful team and accompanied by many enthusiastic rooters, who were led by two pretty and peppy girls, the Tarheel con- tingent put on an exhibition that was decidedly interesting. A 16-0 victory was registered by the Charlotte teamt, but it was a real achievement for the locals to hold the Southerners to that score. For the first period the Blue and White check- ed Charlotte, but in the second the wvisitors, led by Capt. Lowell Mason, ail-Southern quarterback; Capt. Platt Landis, fullback, and Joe Funderburk, got_their attack functioning and car- ried the fight to the local team the remainder of the afternoon. ‘This Mason, particularly, was bril- liant. Besides directing his team with a finesse unusual for a schoolboy pilot, his runs, p ing and general all- around play were easily the high spots ©of the game. Charlotte’s first touchdown came after a who is fast and exceeding shif; practically all the ball-carrying. Landis proved an ideal fullback, responding with a gain virtually every time he was called upon during the afternoon and also playing a stalwart defensive game. For Central Capt. Bill Simmons, 3’7231‘3 Boyd and Eddie Ault played well.

C. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 24, 1927. JoE CHAMPA = Halfback ANNAPOLIS, November 24.—While, as usual, the Naval Academy foot ball team, is quite representative of the nation as a whole, there is a some- what greater tendency to group in States and sections than ordinarily. There are 13 midshipmen who may be considered regulars, as there are four ends of ahout the same claim to regularity. The Middle States have five of this number, the largest group, but are closely prégE¥@rnyihe Middle West. The South has'three and New England one, the Pagific &lope not being represented this year. The Middle States group comsists of Hannegan, captain and quarterback, who is from Washington, D. C.; Burke, left guard, of Pennsylvania, and Llovd, left half; Woerner, right guard, and Smith, right end, all from New Jersey. New Jersey, with three memhers of the team, has the largest State group. From the Middle West are: Rans- ford, right half, Towa; Sloane, left end, Illinois; Giese, right tackle, Wisconsin, and Moret, right end, Michigan. The South has: Benas, left end, and Hardin, center, both of whom are Texans, and Clifton, fullback, of Kentucky. New England is represented by Bagdanc- vich, left tackle. Should Hannegan be relieved, Wel- chel, another Washingtonian, is first substitute for the center position. Coffman, a fast running back, is likely to be in a good part of the game. He is another Texan and will swell the group from that State. However, New Jersey has by far the biggest group on the squad. Besides the three regulars, there are: R. C. Bauer, substitute end; Kiernan, tackle, and Taylor, a change end. Liloyd, left half, is the heaviest and tallest man on the team, hi veight being 203 pounds and his height 6 feet 21, inches. Ransford, the other half, is the lightest and shortest, his SEVERAL GRID TITLES ARE AT STAKE TODAY NEW YORK, November 24 (£).— Championships, either sectional or national, depended on many foot ball games throughout the country today. EAST. Pittsburgh, tied this season only by Washington and Jefferson, meets Penn State, led by the flash- ing Johnny Roepke, in the Eastern classic at Pittsburgh.

Tennessee meets Kentucky in another important clash. SOUTHWEST.

Ne- braska entertains the undefeated Violets of New York University in the outstanding intersectional clash REGULAR AND FIRST SUB NAVY QUARTERS D. C. BOYS being 150 pounds and his_height 5 feet 6 inches. However, Wilson, a substitute tackle, is both bigger and taller than Lloyd. He weighs 210 pounds and is 6 feet, 3 inches in height. The members of the graduating class who are on the regular team are Hannegan, Ransford and Bagdanovich. Burke, Hardin, Woerner, Giese azd Smith are members of the next lower class, and Sloane, Beans, Moret, Lloyd and Clifton the val Academy after the present one. Hannegan is captain of the base ball nine, as well as of the foot ball team, one of the few men who ever carried this double honor. Bagdanovich is crew captain for the coming season, and Ransford will lead the lacrosse team. Aichel, a substitute tackle, is captain of the water-polo team. The squad contains a number of athletes who have distinguished them- selves in other lines. Lloyd, halfback, is a brilliant field and track performer. He covers the hundred in 10 seconds, is a great hurdler and a good man with the weights. He is also guard on the basket ball five Next in point of versatility is Wil- son, a change tackle. Wilson is the crack pitcher of the nine, having twirled a winning game against West Point last yvear. He is also a heavy- weight wrestler and a good man with the weights. ‘Woerner, guard, wrestles, rows and plays lacrosse. Bagdanovich, tackle, is crew cap- tain, and other members of the rowing squad playing foot ball are Giese, Hardin, Duborg, Hale: Spurgeon, Eddy, Russell and Kiernan. In addi- tion to Hannegan and Wilson, Coff- man, Welchel, Millican, Smith, Miller and ieman play base ball, while Parish is one of the best men on the lacrosse twelve.

Indications are that Frank Peake. will end his foot ball dividual point-scoring li rginia. With V. P. 1. 3 heavy favorite over the Cadets in the annual classic, Peake will have to score a touchdown to tie the present leader, Gilbert of Roanoke, whose scoring for the season is over. The Roanoke player has scored 6 touchdowns and 19 extra points for points, 1 point more than has White of Washington and Lee and 6 points more than Peake, the present holder of third place. While White also has a chance to add to his total when the Generals en- gage the Florida ‘Gators, his chances of doing so are not considered bright. | Barnes of V. M. I still has a chance, for he is_in fifth place, behind_Little- john of Emory and Henry. Barnes has 42 points, and needs at least 2 touchdowns and an extra point to tie Gilbert's present record.
