OPINION IS BACKED BY HILLTOP SEOUT Little’s Envoy to Annapolis . Last Saturday Praises Southern Team. BY H. C. BYRD. UKE UNIVERSITY expects to give Georgetown a great bat- tle, and, according to opinions of those in charge of athletics there, about the worst that fe looked for is pretty close to an even chance for victory. Especially is this true of Jimmie De Hart, coach at Duke. De Hart is not overly optimistic, but usually looks ahead at games just about as they are, and he feels that his mea have a fair chance to win from the Hilltoppers, irrespective of what any others may think. “We lost to Na with any kind of br would have won,” says De Hart, “and with th» breaks this week we have a chance to beat Georgetown. Our team is far from weak and we will gain ground against any eleven. Of course, we real- ize the strength of Georgetown, and know just the power and versatility we thall have to overcome if we are to wind up the game with the long end of the score, but even while knowing that we feel we have a fair chance.” G. U. Scout Praises Duke. And reports from the Georgetown scout who watched Duke play Navy bear out what De Hart sa: Duke will prove anything but a p, ac- cording to the Georgetown mean, and Lou Little’s ¢leven is in for a real bat- tle. Here is what this scout said to Coach Littie: “Duke hes a real foot ball team. Nevy wes extremely lucky to win and actually had no particular licease to @5 k0. Duke has a heavy line and a fine backfield. This chap Janowski 48 one of the best ground-gainers I have seen this ¥ and in addition to having a couple of brilliant run- ning backs, the m has a good for- ward passing attack and is willing to throw the ball all over the lot. Our secondary defense is in for a merry afternoon Saturday, end if it does not keep on its toes we will have more trouble than we are looking for. “T look for one of our tough=st games of the year, and you had better not let anv of our crew feel that they can g0 inte the geme as they have gone into the games we have already played. This geme with Duke is not cnly go- ing to be a tough game for us but it is going to be a spectacular game.” Duke will come up here Friday end bring nearly three full teams. It seems to have everything in ths way of ma- terial and plays thst any team heeds, and has the advantags of Georgetown in that it has been p'aying through a lot of hard games.

Maryland’s squad goes to Richmond @aturday to meet Virginia Military In- stitute, and, judging by the fact that V. M. L beat Virginia, 9 to 0, and that Virginia played Princeton to a 0-to-0 tie, Maryland is in for another pleasant sftérnoon. In fact, Maryland's foot ball mes are’ just one succession of bai- , without any let-up anywhere. Bill Raftery, coach of the V. M. I eleven, £aid over the phqne this morn- lnf that his team played better foot ball against Virginia than any eleven that he has had since he took over the coaching reins at Lexington. “We layed mighty good foot ball and cou'd glve whipped anybody,” is the way Raftery puts it. Maryland may not be in the best of shape Saturday. One of its tackles wes bruised up pretty badly, and one of its-backs took quite a beating in the game with Western Maryland last week. Western Maryland is not a b'g school, but the foot ball team that represents it is just about as good as any of the elevens that play in this section. Inci- dertally, Maryland cannot afford to make many substitutions. For two or three places in its line-up it is just about as strong with a second-string player in as with a first, but reserve material is scarcer at College Park than it has been in years. Has Two Great Backs. Virginia Military Institute has in its backfield two fine players in Barnes and Harner. Both are big, fast, strong and exceptionally good in an open field. In fact, while Maryland beat V. M. I last year, 10 to 6, Barnes came within an sce of winning for the Lexington- ians on three different occasions, and it was only because Thomas of Maryland was s0 much faster that he caught him from behind. Barnes and Harner are better this year than last, according to opinions of Virginia people, as both, especially Barnes, ran wild in the game sgainst the Charlotteville aggregation. Coupled with his ability to gain ground on running plays, Barnes is one of the best punters in the section. He seems able to boot the ball as far 88 he desires or as short as he desires and place it accurately. Last year the punting duel between Barnes and Rob- erts of Maryland probably was the best of the whole year in college foot ball. With the exception of times when the two teams were near the opposing f”‘ and wanted to kick short to keep he ball from going over the goal line not a kick got off by either man went less than 50 yards, a remarkable record. In his drive in preparation for the me with City College of New York Central High School Stadium here Saturday, Coach Maud Crum of the ‘Washington grid squad is doing considerable shifting. The contest will be the first home game for the Coloni- als this season and they are especially keen for a victory. So far G. W. has not won a game. Crum has shifted Jimmy Carey, versatile performer. from end to guard, and Dan Eberly is being groomed to succeed Carey. Eberly has not had action in forma? competition so far this season. Gates,’ erstwhile guard, has been sent to a tackle in place of Blain and Rollins has taken Gates' former post. Clements and Rolling, reserves, are others who may see regular duty Saturday. Tennessee Plays May Stop W. & L. BY SOL METZGER. ‘Washington and Lee has taken on quite a job this Saturday in jour- neying to Knoxville to méet the strong Tennessee eleven coached by Neyland, former star et West Point. Tennessee had one of the strong teams of the South last year and went through its season without a defeat. Vanderbilt alone was able to hold i{ to a tie. Army line play, plus fine backs and splendid fundamental foot ball, brought Tennessee to the fore. In addition a sound passing attack has been a strong part of the attack. Neyland hes likewise worked out one effective play that pulled Ten- nessee out of many a tight place. e the ball It usually But Ten- nessee doesn't feel that way about it. This play that the Generals must watch out for when they seemingly have Tennessee in a side-line pinch is sketched here. The quarterback, No. 4, takes the ball from center, turns to his right and fakes giv- ing it to No. 2, who goes through all the motions of bucking the line between the opposing left tackle and guard. As the play starts No. 1 crouches down and is hidden by No. 4 and No. 2 from the opponents. As No. 2 crosses in front of him— the usual side-line play to get out- of-bounds—No. 1 drives to the left between the opposing right guard and center, No. 4 passing him the ball, which he previously faked giv- ing to No. 2.

It is recognized by all competing universities. It is the rule of the game. Scouts visiting opposing campuses receive tickets in the press box for games they desire to see. May Have Been Abused. Perhaps there -have been times in the past when scouting was carried on to an unethical degree. I know of a case where a man representing a large university made himself at home on the field of a oangenn; eleven, where open practice was held. As the school was in a large city he was eble to spend considerzble time doing this kind of work. Such procedure de- serves only condemnation, even though the practices were open to the public. Let me, at point, state briefly what is accomplished in scouting. The scout is firsi of all expected to obtain information on the various forma- tions of offense in use by the opposing elevens, and to get as much detail of the execution ot play as he possibly can. At the same time he is supposed to pick out the strong and weak points of another team’s attack. He also attempts to learn as much as possible about the individual players. I oppose abolition of scouting because of the difficulty atiachsd to non-scout- ing agreements where particularly sirong rivalry exists. Non-scouting could only be successful by gentlemen's agreements among head coaches, whereby they would pledge {hemselves not fo receive any informa- tion whatscever from any one with ref- erence to their opponents. There would also have to exist a general feeling among the close followers of each team that the breaking of such an agreement could only be considered extremely dis- honest. The difficulty of such agreements is that coaches of some elevens would have to become virtual hermits. This would be particularly true in the case of competing schools in close proximity. I am therefore inclined to believe that the time is not yet rige for the general abolition of scouting, éven though con- siderable good might result. Has Its Weak Side. There are many possible results from non-scouting. We will assume that the practice of non-scouting could be es- tablished firmly, and discuss the likely outcome. No doubt it would be extremely bene- ficial to offensive tactics. Strict adher- ence to a non-scouting rule would bring more touchdowns to the game, because it is easily apparent that a de- fensive team could not be taught to anticipate all the possibilities of offen- sive tactics. Considerable more time would have to be spent in teaching defensive methods. Then, too, a team would necessarily be most successful by changing its system of attack from year to ycar, which would undoubtedly increase the uncer- : tainties of the game. I believe that the game as it exists is rather well balanced. It certainly has met with public favor, and such a radi- cal rule as “non-scouting” only has the tendency to shake its present status.

JEWISH BASKETERS BEGIN WORK TONIGHT Mannie Goldfarb has issued orders for the first drill of the Jewish Com- munity Center basket ball team to be held tonight at 9 o'clock in the center gymnasium.

Managers of the Apache and North- ern foot bell teams are predicting one of the largest crowds in the history of local sandlot grid sport Sunday when these teams meet at Union Leagu: Park. Both teams are populer and each has a large following. Some 1200 fans witnessed the Apache walk-away last Sunday and more than twics that num- ber are expected to see the first inde- pendent title scrap of the campaign Sunday. Followers of the amateur grid teams have not forgotten the great battle the Northerns staged last year before bow- ing, 6 to 7, to the Little Indians, who later beat the Mohawks for the title. On the strength of last season’s per- formances, the teams lo meet Sunday rated 1 and 2 for 1027. Both have strengthened this Fall. Apaches are favorites to win the con- test Sunday but Northerns have a young and game outfit which can cause any title-seeking team plenty of trou- ble. Mohawks, already much improved by the addition of former college and school boy stars, will be further for- tified Sunday when they meet Home- steads of Baltimore at Grifith Stadium by the addition of Louis Brunelle, for- mer Quantico Merine back. Brunelle will start at quarter in place of Fee Colliere. Ed Abbatticcio, Dewey and Wilson will complete the first string backfield. Dan Kelliher, an old mainstay with Southern A. C., has been chosen cap- tain of that eleven. He is an end and well rated among the amateurs. South- erns drill tonight at Sixth and B streets at 7:30 o'clock. Joe Ganey has scheduled a practice for his Palace A. C. squad tonight at 7 o'clock at Sixth and B streets, Joe also seeks a game for Sunday. Call Gecrgia 3987 after 5 o'clock. Drills are scheduled tonight and Fri- day night for Fussell-Young Preps on Georgetown Prep Ficld at 8 o'clotk. All St. Stephen's A. C. players are asked to report for drill tonight at 7 o'clock’ on their field. Coach Fletcher will drill his Janney A. C. eleven tomorrow night in prepa- ration for the important clash with Mohawk Preps Sunday. Players will re- port at 7 o'clock. ALEXANDRIA STARS ON HOSPITAL LIST ALEXANDRIA, Va, October 24— Coach W, H. Edmund yesterday an- pounced that neither Capt.

M. L ICHMOND, Va., October 24 (#).— Two “iron men” elevens will clash here Saturday when V. M. I. engages the University of Maryland. The cadets are expected to send into the fray the same eleven men that played the University of Virginia last Saturday for 60 minutes without a sub- stitution being made and the Old Liners come with an aggregation that has seen only six changes in the lineup during the last three games. CHARLOTTSVILLE, Va., Ogtober 24 (#).—Remembering the crippled Yan- kee squad that entered the world series and the crippled Yale squad that down- ed Georgia’s great eleven, Vanderbilt is probably expecting a battle in the Tenessee capital Saturday from Virgin- ia's Cavallers. They may not' be dis- appointed. : While Earle Neale’s disabled group represents a first-class foot ball team, the Cavallers on the field appear for- midable. Work 15 going forward on line play to correct weaknesses develop- >d in the game with the V. M. I. Cadets. Virginia's play last week was a re- versal of the form displayed in holding Princeton scoreless and the coaches are woll'lklnx to restore the solid forward wall. Just what cripples will be able to return to the lineup Saturday is un- known. BLACKSBURG, Va., October 24 (#).— The “Pony Express” of V. P. I is operating with the speed of the air mail in practice on the Gobbler field.

Apropos of non-scouting agreements this season Harvard—at least so Eddie Casey tells the writer—is scouting Yale, whereas ti® Elis, ardent advocates of the elimination of espionage, are not following Harvard's play. This_makes for conditions hardly fair. But it is not Harvard's concern. She has been perfectly frank about the matter. Non-scouting was tried out by the Crimson last season and was regarded as completely unsatisfactory. Harvard wanted no mors of it, would have no more of it, and said so. If Yale wishes to retain it that is her lookout. Princeton and Yale, Army and Yale and the Elis and Maryland are observ- ing thé rule. Princeton wanted Cornell to do so, but imagine Gil Dobie, a perfect prag- matist, agreeing to anything like that. Nor would Ohio State agree to Prince- ton's proposal in this respect. In the Western Conference non-scout- ing never even had a respsctable bearing. FOOT BALL PLAYER DIES. NEW ORLEANS, La., October 24 (). —Leonce Chauvin, 17, died in a New Orleans hospital last night from the ef- fects of a blow from an opponent’s el- bow in a foot ball game Sunday. Chau- vin, student at St. Paul's College at Covington, played halfback on the St. Paul team, which was opposing the New Orleans Cardinals. ADVERT!

S.’ TECH AND EASTERN HOLD SERIES EDGE Their Contest on November 16 Likely to Decide Championship. Thus far the advance dope on the public high school championship foot | ball series, which favored Eastern and Tech to fight it out for the crown, is holding up. as both these teams have been victorfous in their opening series games. Eastern got off on the right foot last Friday by scoring over Central, 6 to 0, and Tech routed Business, 39 to 7, yesterday to get a flying start in the championship race. As a result fans already are buzzing about the Eastern-Tech game to be played November 16, believing that its outcome may have great bearing on decmlng the champion. Last Fall Tech drubbed Eastern, 27 to 0, in the opening game of thé title series and !p:stem is keen to avenge the defeat this Fall. Officially the Maroon was a 2-0 vic- tor, Business automatically forfeiting the game at the start of the third period when ineligible substitutes were pressed into service. It was the second game in as many seasons that ths Stenogs have had to forefeit bscause of a shortage of eligible players. The Stenogs in 1927 forfeited to_Central, but unofficlally battled the Blue and White to a 19-19 deadlock. From the opening whistle Tech easily outclassed the plucky Stenogs yesterday in a game which was marred by many fumbles as the result of a fleld and ball made slippery by rain which fell throughout the contest. Using straight foot ball virtually all the way Tech always held the whip hand. Business’ lone touchdown came in the third period soon afer the in- eligible players were sent into the game. It was made on a forward pass. Line-Up and Summary. Tech. Po Fositions.
