J.’s Effective Speed Stops Rutgers A few years ago Washington and Jefferson began running back punts like wildfire. In consecutive seasons Rutgers and Syracuse, both of equal strength, were defeated because the Washington and Jefferson safety men actually returned punts for touchdowns. I saw the one that de- feated Rutgers at the Polo Grounds, New York, when the score was 9 to 6 in Rutgers' favor with but two minutes left to play. Rutgers punted to Washington and Jefferson's 20- yard line, where McCreight caught the ball. He returned it for a win- ning tuchdown. The stunt that made this run pos- workable combination.

Bara- bas and Drewry. both fine backs, are on the sidelines with injuries, and neither may be able to take part in the open- ing_encounter. Out at Catholic University Jack Mc- Auliffe is having his troubles. Coach Crum, at George Washington, seems to have a good first string, but no reserve material, and. all in all, every school except Gallaudet is feeling somewhat blue over its outiook. McAuliffe Has Big Job. Perhaps no coach has a greater task in front of him than Jack McAuliffe, at Catholic University. Right now the squad he has is anything but brilliant, and if he comes through with a fine team, a team capable of playing good foot ball and making a good showing, it will be almost solely because of his good coaching. cAuliffe not only has a small squad. terlal in that squad. He possesses & good backtield. undoubtedly, but his line does not measure up to the men behind it. Catholic U. plays Boston College this week at Boston, and if Boston College | has a real team the Brooklanders will | be acainst the toughest kind of a propo- sitfon. A good backfield without a strong | line is like a wagon without horses to | pull it or an automobile without wheel and that seems to be McAuliffe’s pre dicament. Anybody who has been hand- ing out press agent material about Cath- olic University's great prospects simply does not know what he is talking about. McAulifle may get out a good team, but | if so it will be because of good coaching and excellent handling and not because of the quality of material. Yesterday the Brooklanders scrim- maged against St. John'ss College O‘i Annapolis, and about the only way they could gain ground was in forward pass- ing. And waile they could stop St. John from running the ball they had a lot of ditiiculty breaking up passes and stopping an elusive young man of the name of McCarthy. It was the lack of development of the running game of both teams probably that caused them to be stopped so easily in that department of play, just as much as it was any exceptional play on the aprt of the forwards. McAuliffe intends to use Zeno and | Gerth on the ends in the opening game, although one of these positions may be switched. Roche and Smith are about his best men for tackles, and Menke and NMullen seem to have the call for the guard positions. Durso is leading can- didate for center, while the backfield will be made up of Murphy, Champa, Schmidt and Malevich. G. U. Holds Scrimmage. ™ Georgetown scrimmaged for an hour vesterday against the freshman team. ‘The Blue and Gray had little difficulty gaining ground against the yearlings, but has a good deal of shaping up of the offense before it will be working with the clocklike regularity of former seasons. Georgetown has prospect of about the hardest opening game on Jocal fields in that it meets Mount St. Mary'’s, which is likely to give some spe- cial preparation for the contest. ‘Two years ago Georgetown had & rough battle trimming the Marylanders and in the last few minutes was pushed back into its own territory in imminent but he does not have a good deal of ma- | Leroy {ly 1s_found in any college. ago. Wynkoop probably will begin the | year as the pivot man, but reserve ma- | terial if he is injured is so scarce as to be almost negligible. | With the exception of Barabas, who is jcertain to be at fullback when he gets in shape, and whose place Duplin is | now taking. the backfield will be made | up of Drewry and Schmidt at halfbacks land Scalzi at quarter. Duplin is sure to start the first game at full. | Puzzle at Maryland. | Out at the University of Maryland | players have been shifted so rapidly | from one position to another that it is | doubtful if, with two or three exceptions, | anybody knows just what the starting line-up will be. In an effort to find tackles and some extra backfield mate- rial almost everybody has been played in | these positions. Three backs certain to be regulars are Kessler, Snyder and Roberts, but the fourth place in the backfield is wide open. Reserve material for the backfield is { exceedingly scare. especially as Evans, and Parsons have been on the bench for a week with injuries. Dodson and Heagy, ends from last year, have been holding down those positions, but it may be that Dodson will be shifted to the backfield. Maryland has very little more idea as to whom it will use this week in the opening game than those that have only heard of the squad. Maryland's opening game is with Washington College, which it has won from easily the last two years, G. W. Has Easy Game, George Washington plays the Dalgren Naval Proving Grounds team and cught to win easily, but its chief problem will be to keep men from getting hurt. Coach Crum has material for a good varsity eleven, but will have to con- serve that material, as no coach should be compelled to do. He has back his ends of last year, Allshouse and Carey, and they ought to do fine work for him throughout the year if they keep away from injuries. Van Meter and Rollins are to be the tackles, and the former is really a fine player, as good as usual- GolGoerg and Sallenger will hold down the cuard positions, with the veteran Athey at center. Sanders will be at quarterback and Lopeman and Barrows at halfbacks and Clapper at full. The Buff and Blue, though it faces a hard season, will be difficult to defeat. If it keeps its men in good shape it should wind up its season with a very creditable record. Gallaudet Outlook Good. Coach Hughes of Gallaudet says that his team will be better than last yeer, and hopes to be strong enough to win in its opening game with Hampden Sidney this week. Hughes says that for the first time in quite a while he has backs and ends big enough to block and take out men. Taking everything into consideration every local school has its work cut out for it if it is to accomplish a good deal during the coming season and especial- ly if it is to show well in the early part of the year. The development of an eleven under good conditions is difficult enough, but to turn out a winning com- bination when things are not just right is just about ten times as hard. And not one of the local schools right now seems to be in such shape as to war- rant predictions as to many particularly brilliant performances against tough danger! of having a touchdown made opponents. Sandlot Grid Sq uads Will Be Given Some Rough Work Today ITH the opening of the sand- lot foot ball season just two weeks distant, coaches are plarining to put their charges through rough drills today. Srimmage sessions are listed for most of the squads. !

MANY STAR BIKEMEN TO RIDE HERE TODAY Some 60 of the speediest bicycle riders of the East will be seen here today when the Century Road Club As- sociation holds its annual invitation meet in West Potomac Park around the polo oval. In addition to a group of the best cyclists of the local club, entries have been received from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, including the amateur champions of each State named. Robert J. Connor, ace of the local club, who recently won the national senior speed title at Kenosha, Wis., in- jured himself during a practice run and is likely to be out of the meet, which was planned largely in his honor. If Connor is unable to ride, the local team will be greatly handicapped, but J. Barnes, A. Horner, E. Bieber, J. Riedy and E. Peter, seniors, and J. Cullinane, junior, are expected to carry the Century colors in the numerous events. G. E. Peter, chairman of the mocet committee, announced that additional entries will be received at the polo oval this morning before the first race at 9 o'clock and that all local bike riders are invited to compete. Seven events are listed, including an “old timers’” race for men over 30 and a miss-and-out race in which the last rider to cross the line on each lap is dliminated. = Other events are: One- mile open, 3-mile open, 1-mile novice, 10-mile handicap, and 1-mile junior. All persons interested are invited to attend, it was announced, the program being open to the public. SCHOOL GRID LEAGUE | IN VIRGINIA PLANNED UNIVERSITY, Va., September 22— Private preparatory schools in Virginia have been invited to join a foot ball conference which has been organized by College Topics, the student news- paper of the University of Virginia. The purpose of this conference will be the selection of a State champion- ship team, which will be awarded a cup to be given cach year by College ‘opics For more than 20 years College ‘Topics has been selecting an all-State prep school foot ball team, composed of the best players in the private secon- dary schools of the Old Dominion. The plan to select a championship team fs an outgrowth of this policy. Edgar D. Brooks of Lynchburg, Va., editor-in-chief of College Topics, has explained that the formation of the foot ball conference will be in co- operation with the Association of Vir- | ginia Preparatory Schools, which has formulated eligibliity rules for prep school athletes. class All players are to report at noon on | 0;Q}gégyfl%gngauamfiufig Georgetown _ Freshmen field today. | el R Potts is carding games at West 798, He is anxious fo scehdule a practice | game for next Sunda All Pala -pound players are asked to report Sixth d B streets southwest today at 10:30 o'clock in foot ball togs.

Next week, the work will be directed particularly toward preparation for Sat- urday's season opener against Davis Elkin: Whitey Lloyd, the backfleld mainstay of last season, who has bzen a little out of condition, was in his old place this afternoon, and workeq well, with Clifton. He did most of the carrying. Welchel at quarter and Cannon at right half completed the backfleld, which will probably start Saturday. Chapple, the biggest lineman, who hurt his knee two weeks ago, was able to get in the game this afternoon, play- ing left guard, with Capt. Burke on the other side of center. Chapple showed no signs of trouble with his knee. Gray, last year's plebe tackle, and Giese, crew captain, were the tackles this afternoon, indicating that they are the present first choices for those places. Crane, a plebe back last year, was at left end. He is a big rangy youth, and the coaches have found qualities in him which indicate that he will be more useful on a flank. AT EPISCOPAL HIGH ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 22.— Episcopal High School foot ball coaches have only four veterans around whom to mold their new grid team, which will open its season on Hoxton Field October 6 in a game with McKinley Technical High School of Washington. Capt. Witherspoon, center; Sackett, halfback; Moorman and Quinn, ends, are the only Maroon and Black varsity men in training with the squad of 35 candidates. Head Coach C. V. Tompkins is assist- ed by Bickerton Caldwell, captain of the Virginia team last year; Charles Cadigan, former captain of Ambherst, and W. L. Fleming, former star at Hampden-Sidney College. Despite the gloomy outlook that con- fronted Alexandria High School foot ball followers prior to the opening of grid training, it will be a fairly strong team that wears the Maroon and White into the game with Newport News High School at Newport News, Va., next Sai- urday. Aside from the guard and cen‘er positions, Coach W. H. Edmunds has a veteran line with Willlams and Violett on the wings and Capt. Sisk and West in tacKles. Henderson and Williamson, & 250-pound husky, are showing well at guard, while Peyton and Mudd arz doing well at center. The backfield has been strengthenod by the addition of Bell. who is being used at fullback. Gallagher is play- ing at quarterback while P. Travers, Green, H. Travers and Cohen lead the other backs. With only 18 candidates out and the majority of that number very light and inexperienced, the foot ball prospects are “nothing to rave about,” according to Coach Richardson, who is serving his first year as athletic director at George Mason High School. “Buck” Edmunds has been named captain of the Virginia A. C. unlimited foot ball team, which will hold its first scrimmage of the training period to- n:o;;m;;’ morning on the Shipyard Field at 10:30. Coach “Rube” Hayman's Alexandria Fire Department Preps have added six new players in Gettle, formerly of Vic- toria (Va.) High School; Beach, Gam- mage, Bayliss, Baggett and Scrivener. Hayman will send his team through a tough scrimmage drill on Haydon Field tomorrow at 11 o'clock. St. Mary's Lyceum players are asked to report in Lyceum Hall tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The team then will go to some fleld for practice. EIGHT BOUTS LISTED BY JEWISH CENTER Eight attractive boxing bouts have been arranged for the opening program at the Jewish Community Center Thurs- day night. These bouts will be the forerunner of similar programs to be staged throughout the indoor season. Fighters of Baltimore, New York and Washington have been signed, accord- ing to Jim McNamara, who directs athletic activities at the center. From Gotham will come Joey Glick, 118-pound scrapper who is a brother of Joe Glick, well known in ring circles; Harry Wallach, 132-pounder, a product of Brooklyn’s amateur boxing clubs, and Sammie Haber, who tips the beam at 154 pounds and holds a metro- ‘mll\!lllmkl “gmmll(r title. ickey Brooks of Baltimore will bring Lou Miller, Manny Hirshon and Chflg Schindele. Miller, newsboy-fighter, s to meet Joe Lazarus in a return bout. Local amateurs selected to meet the invaders include: Ed Schaffer, one of Frankie Mann's best youngsters; Joe Lesser, bantam, who is to meet Glick in one of the feature matches; Bobby Goldstein, 16-year-old Tech High senior, who carries a string of 28 wins in as many bouts; Seymour Kritt and Joe Lazarus, both portside swingers. Officials for the program are: Referee, Heine Miller; announcer, Jimmy Lake: judges, Joe B~teman and Denny Hughes, and_timekeepers, Lou Little and Doc Green.

BOXING IS PLANNED AT ARLINGTON BEACH | Announcement has been made the organization and incorporation g: the Relee Club, Inc., of Arlington | County, Va., which plans to conduct boxing, wrestling, basket ball and so- cial events at Arlington Beach. Sev- eral prominent Washington business men are said to be interested in the “ex lclm.::u Beach di rlington Beacl ance pavilion has been leased for the wmterpsuson n:; it is planned to stage the first pro- | gram there on October 11, A smoker § and boxing program is being arranged for that night in connection with a membership drive for 2,000 members. Plans have been under way for some time for the organization of th(‘l club. The charter recently was granted by the State of Virginia and negotia- tions for the leasing of the dance hall at Arlington Beach have just been completed. ! With the closing of the Arcadia to! all sports except bowling, it s thought that the new club will prove popular with local sports fans. Charles Cornell, ~former Aloysius Athletic Club promoter and at present the manager of several Fromlsinz box- ers, will have charge of the member- ship drive. He will accept applications at 109 B street southeast. The mem- bership will be limited to 2,000 at pres- ent, it was announced, as accommoda- tions can be provided for between 1,600 and 1,800. It is planned to construct a clubhouse and auditorium next Spring and the membership will be increased. All programs will be conducted on the club plan, it was announced, and only members will be admitted to ath- letic and social eveats, Eastern and Tech Play Baltimore Aggregations, Business and Emerson Oppose—All Squads Are Doing Strenuous Work. ITH opening games scheduled 7 this week end scholastic foot ball squads of the District group will begin tomorrow their final days of pre-sea- son practice. Eastern, Tech, Business and Emerson are the elevens scheduled to swing into action this week. Eastern and Tech are to play Friday in Baltimore, the former against Cal- vert Hall School and the latter against Baltimore City Colleg~. Fmerson and Business are to come to grips on Saturday. Central originally was scheduled to meet Forest Park High in Baltimore Friday, but the game has been canceled upon the request of the latter, which has been unable to get in shape for the contest because of ihe delayed opening of Baltimore's 3~hools, as the result of the infantile paralysis epidemic. All public high squads have indulged in vigorous work the past weck and the coaches for the most part are begin- ning t get a pretty fair idea of their talent. This is not true so particularly of Business and Western, however, as these squads have not been at work as long as Tech, Central and Eastern. Right now it appears certain that two of the thiee teams which were involved in the tripie tle for the public high school champonshp last Fall are sure to be in the thick of the fight in fhe series which opens October 19. These are Eastern and Tech, which are par- ticularly well fortified with veteran ma- terial. Just how Central, which was the caird team in the tie last Fall, is going to fare is difficult to predict as the squad Is shy of seasoned material. Followers of the Blue and White are confident, however, that Louis J. (Ty) Rauber, Central's new coach, will be able to develop a sturdy eleven despite the rebuilding he will have to do. Business or Western, or both for that matter, may show stronger than ex- pected, but Lynn Woodworth and Dan Ahern, who toutor the Stenogs and Red and White, respectively, have been hard hit through graduations and have so little veteran talent that at this time their enries can hardly be considered as likely serious contenders for the champlonship. Coach Elmer P. (Hap) Hardell of Tech, handicapped by the fact that his squad has to travel several miles each dlf' from the school to the Tidal Busin field to practice, is hustling the M roon and Gray bunch along and, while he has announced no first-string com- bination, has obtained a pretty clear idea as to the boys upon whom he will have to count most heavily in the com- ing campaign. There are at least two candidates for each position, however, and Hardell has emphasized that the boy who gets the call must merit it. Work of the players the next few days will just about determine the make-up of the team which will face Baltimore City College Friday. If hard work means anything, Coach Rauber is going to have a creditable Central High team. There are many | candidates for the Blue and White eleven, but the bunch includes only four 1927 letter winners in Capt. Stevens, Ross, Brandt and Mehler. Stevens is again holding forth as a| halfback, Ross, end last Fall, is being tried at quarter; Brandt is again work- ing at an end and Mehler is again at a tackle. Others who made up the latest tenta- tive first-string eieven include Seffins, end: Eicholtz, tackle; Mints, Hanley, guards; Hochbaum, center; Kaufman and Plumley and Kaufman, backs. Willingham and St. John, two promis- ing players, are ineligible, at least until the next advisory period. Eastern’s eleven, which bids fair to be unusually heavy for a high school combination, rapidly is taking shape under direction of Coach Mike Kelley, former Central tutor. In his last scrimmage Kelley used the following first-string line-up; Chalkey and Holland, ends; Nalley and Wade, tackles; F. Miles and Montague, guards; Munro, center;: Capt. Wood, McCarthy, Miller and Hooff in the backfleld. Cap:. Wood was at quarter. Shackleford and McCullough also served behind the line. ‘With only a few letter winners from the 1927 eleven and just a small group of other members of last year’s squad at hand, Coach Dan Ahern faces & big job to develop a winning Western High foot ball team. Of the nine experienced players avail- able Eddie Brownfield, fleet back, and Noble Cook, tackle, will be eligible, at least until the second advisory, be- cause of scholastic difficulties. Other performers who have had more or less experience include Capt. Dick Park, who probably will play quarter- back; Mike Hunt, back; Qeorge Fletcher, back or end; Jim Draper, tackle or end; Elmore Seeds, tackle; Quincy Owens, center; Page Worthing- ton, guard, and John Gerens, back. Among promising newcomers are Frank Bowan. from Kiski, Bernard Von Ammon from St. Alban's School, Bill Shipley from Woodberry Forrest, Louls Eaton from Washington-Lee High ;«;hgol and Titus from Leesburg, Va. igh. Members of last season’s lightweight team trying for berths are Lane, v, Herbert Thompson, Jim Thompson, Offutt, Greve and Parrish. Other aspirants _include Shinkle, Moulton, Cromwell, Whiteside, French. Marks, Webb, Ed Cook, Buscher, Church. Jord, Foley, Freer. Albert, Hinton, Brazelt and April. Ed Hill is manager of the eleven. What kind of an eleven Coach Lynn Woodworth is going to be able to pro- duce to represent Business High is problematical. Many stalwart members of last Fall's eleven have been lost by graduation, but the new talent is rather better than Woodworth expected. and the Stenogs may not have such a bad team, though they are not expected to have a world beater. Devitt School's foot ball candidates will begin serious practice tomorrow, under direction of Coach Jim Mc- Namara. Thus far the squad has spent its time in conditioning work. With roup of capable veterans at hand and some good-looking new material, McNamara is optimistic over the sea- son’s outlook. He expects a good back- fleld, but is not so sure his line will be strong. Letter winners again at hand includ Capt. Knott, Culler and Bernard, back: Tlé\gnrn. tackle, and Vincent, tackle and end. . Members of the 1927 squad again on the job are Imerie, Greenland, Sampson, | Huntress, Walsh and Bradley, all line- men. McNamara's chief problem, 1t ap- pears, will be to get a good center. Right now he is trying Hill and Waddell at the position. The latter comes here from Phillippi, W. Va. McNamara again will have two back- fields, a heavy bunch and a pony com- bination. This plan worked admirably for him last season. Products of local schools who are striving for berths on the Devitt eleven include Depro, from Eastern; Galotta, Business; Tally and Adams, Central, and Duvall, St. John's. Gilbane, from Providence, R. I.; Halord Walker, captain of the 1927 Washington-Lee High team; Abramson, from Princeton Prep, and Clark from Swavely School are other newcomers who are likely appearing. Devitt so far has arranged definitely three games. Central will be met Octo- ber 5. Eastern, October 12, and Cal- vert Hall of Baltimore, October 26 in Clark Griffith Stadium. Gonzaga will be engaged in the annual clash the first week in December.
