U ABOUT READY FOR DUKE BATTLE Other Elevens Put in Last Hard Licks Today for Saturday’s Card. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN will practicaily wind up its training today @ preparation for the battle it expects here Saturday with Duke University. The Blue and Gray squad was put through its paces yestarday against Duke plays and will get a taste of the same kind of practice thts nftemooF, although prob- ably not so strenuously. Tomorrow Little plans to do very lit- tle other than brush up on kicking, receive and make Kkick-offs and give his men a general talk on what he expects will go against the Duke de- fense and how to stop the Duke offense. If the ground is fast and there is no rain between now and Saturday, Georgetown and Duke should play one of the best games of the year on a local field. Both have a wide variety of ground-gaining plays and both are heavy and well coached. Duke has not been winning games, having lost three out of four that it as played, but it has been aganist compe- tition of the hardest kind and undoubt- edly has profited by it. Georgetown, on_the contrary, has yet to taste defeat and has won all its games by big margins. It has not been against the kind of teams played by Duke. Coach Jack McAuliffe is having a tough job from one week end to the next to get his eleven men back in shape to play foot ball. McAuliffe has less material than any other coach in this section and practically no reserve strength. That makes his job & real task and it is remarkable that he is do- ing as well as he is. The only thing that can be deduced from McAuliffe’s situation at Catholic T. is that he is a good coach and that the one thing responsible for the show- ing that the Brooklanders are mak- ing with such a small squad is that McAuliffe is handling exceptionally ‘well what he has in the way of material Saturday the Brooklanders go to Mt. St. Mary’s, and McAuliffe thinks his men have an even chance. Mount St. Mary's has been coming along rapidly since it took a beating at the hands of Georgetown early in the year, and it ought to be far stronger comparatively this week than it was at that time. Another thing about McAuliffe’s coaching. He never grumbles about anything and never tries to excuse any- thing that may happen by intimating that things might have been different if he had more material. McAuliffe talks about his squad just as if he were explaining a fact in a classroom, and he talks convincingly. Incidentally, he is the type of chap who always is well liked both by his layers and all those that come in con- et with him. Maryland probably will make one change in its line-up when it faces Vir- ginia Military Institute at Richmond Saturday. In all probability Evans will get the assignment at one of the half- back positions in place of Roberts, who is not in good physical condition and has not done himself justice in the last two games. Evans played at fullback in the game with North Carolina, but has not since been in the line-up except for 2 few minutes in the contest with South Carolina. Roberts has played practically all the time in all four games, and either is not in good enough physical condition to stand the gaff or is too slightly built to take the batterings that have come his way. With the exception of this change, Maryland will go into the game with the team that beat Virginia 9 to 0 just as it started against South Carolina and Western Maryland. Dodson has been working some this week in the back- field and may get a chance to go from end to behind the line for a while. Coach H. Watson (Maud) Crum is now fairly well satisfied with the de- fense of the George Washington Uni- versity eleven and will devote most of the time between now and the game with City College of New York Satur- day in Central High Stadium to per- fecting the Colonials’ attack. The con- uscwfllbeth‘evflrst home clash of the season for G. W. Crum was well pleased with the work of the Varsity yesterday against the|gins Preshmen who used C. C. N. Y. plays. The Yearlings were unable to gain ap- reciable ground while the Varsity had fitfle difficulty in advancing the ball. For the first time in several weeks the Colonial first-string backfield will be intact Saturday except for Saunders. Clapper, who is adept at heaving for- ward passes as well as running; Lope- man, whose forte is carrying the ball; Frazier and Berkowitz, all will be avail- able. A victory for G. W. Saturday would mark another of its unbroken string of conquests in Central Stadium. Teddy Hughes, Gallaudet coach, was to sendyhis charges through their hard- est drill this afternoon in preparation for their clash Saturday with Juanita College at_Huntingdon, Pa. While the Kendall Greeners won handily over American U. Saturday, Hughes was not entirely satisfled with the work of his proteges in some particulars and is de- voting much time to overcoming these defects. “Tomorrow Gallaudet will have a final light drill to conclude its’ preparation for the tilt with Juanita. What probably will develop into the greatest foot ball struggle along the Atlantic seaboard this year is to take lace Saturday at New Haven between ale and Army. Defeat of Harvard by Army gives the contest greater im- portance for Yale and the fact that Yale seems to have an eleven that will be at or near the top in the East gives the game an importance for Army that is exceeded by no other contest in which Army is w take part. The Yale game for Army this Fall far ex- ceeds in importance its annual struggle | with Notre Dame, and on it may hang the rather mythical championship of the East and perhaps of the country. Army proved in its game with Har- vard that it is strong and has about an even chance against any eleven. It is playing the modern type of game with material capable of carrying out everything necessary to success on the griditon. And in addition to that the team is well coached, “Biff” Jones hav- ing shown during his tenure at West Point that he can turn out winning teams. Of course, others say that Jones had good material, and he does, but even with good material it takes good coaching to weld that material into a team. Able to Cover Up. It may be that Army did not show against Harvard as strong as it really is. Al the scoring that Army did was done early and it is more than pos- sible that Jones was content to Test on that 15 points as a safe lead and uncover nothing more than he had to. If that is the case, Yale is In for quite an afternoon. And, as matter of fact, whether or not that is the case Yale is in for a real game of foot ball. Last year Army played Yale a 6-to-10 game, the Dark Blue barely taking the long end of the count. The gontest Satur- day ought to be just as hard fought and fust as close. Yale at the beginning of this season SPORTS. Reserved tickets for the foot ball game Saturday at Clark Griffith Sta- dium between Georgetown University and Duke, one of the most attractive contests of the gridiron season here, may be had at the Georgetown Uni- wversity athletic office. Lou Little, director of athletics at the Hilltop, is receiving applications. Saturday’s game will be the last home contest for Georgetown until November 17. Play will start at 2:30 o’clock. GRID ELITE FACING L0SS OF PRESTGE Cornell-Princeton and Yale- Army Tilts to Reduce List of Unconquered. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Spcrts Writer. NEW YORK, October 25.—Next Sat- urday ends the first half of the college foot ball season and 15 Eastern teams approach it without having been de- feated or tied." Nine more are on the unbeaten list, but have had their records damaged by no-decision games. Of the teams with perfect records, six, Duquesne, Haverford, Temple, Tufts, williams and Villanova, can be classed as small colleges and eliminated from consideration for big-time honors, al- though some of their performances have come close to lifting them to a higher rank. Cadets and Tigers Favored. The Army-Yale and Cornell-Prince- ton encounters are certain to see some damage done to the elite on Saturday. The Cadets and Yale meet with un- tarnished records. Army is a slight fav- orite except for the traditional Yale jinx which has cost them gll but 4 of the 27 games they have played against Yale. Opinion, likewise, favors Princeton, held to a scoreless tie by Virginia, over Cor- nell, which has won three straight. Georgetown and Boston college are the only major teams that seem certain of maintaining clean slates. They meet comparatively weak opponents in Duke and Boston University. Pennsylvania has good prospects of continuing un- defeated unless the Navy suddenly finds itself and scores one of the season’s numerous upsets. Among the small col- leegs Haverford and Villanova seem safe, playing St. John’s of Annapolis and Lebanon Valley. Dartmouth goes to Boston a favorite to beat Harvard. New York University will have a tough time with Colgate. Carnegie Tech and Pittsburgh will stage their annual city championship battle, hard fought and uncertain even when one team theoretically is far better than the other. Each has had one hard game, Carnegie beating Washington and gtenfl‘:mn and Pitt losing to West Vir- Two Go Out of Class. ‘Williams and Tufts go somewhat out of their class to play Columbia and THE EVENING ‘STAR,. IvAlsMeecYO¥, D. €., THURS DAY, OCTOBMA 75, 1928, Brown, but they are not yet definitely slated for defeats. Both have fine rec- ords, while their opponents have lost to stronger teams, Temple and Du- quesne, the two remaining unbeaten and untied teams, meet opponents of thair own caliber in Providence and.Geneva. Besides Princeton among the teams whose records have been marred only by ties, Lafayette and Bucknell stand out. They played a scoreless game last Saturday. Lafayette has caught a tar- tar for next Saturday in West Virginia, which has fought its way back into con- tendership for Eastern honors after a defeat by Davis and Elkins. Bucknell has a dangerous, although apparently outclassed, opronent in Gettysburg. Holy Cross will play the leading inter- sectional game against Marquette and |. Penn State and Syracuse will engage in their annual encounter, which always is one of the high spots of the Eastern Season. . SIX ROCKNE PLAYERS ON THE INJURED LIST CHICAGO, October 25 (#)—It be- to look like 1928 will be anything but a banner year for Knute Rockne and his Notre Dame Ramblers. So far they have lost two games out of four, which for a Notre Dame foot ball team is somewhat of a disaster. To make the outlook darker for the five remaining games, six members of the squad are laid up with injuries, and yesterday Rockne confined his practice for the coming contest with Drake to formation drills and improving the de- fense against forward passes to save the men he has. Tommy Murphy, reserve end, is the latest to join the casual camp. He is suffering from a torn ligament. GOVERNORS TO WITNESS CONTEST AT CHAPEL HILL CHAPEL HILL, N. C, October 25 (#).—The Governor of Georgia and the Governor of North Carolina will be among the spectators in Kenan Sta- dium here Saturday when North Caro- line’s Tar Heels will strive to break the winning streak of Georgia Tech's Yel- low Jackets. Gov. L. G. Hardeman of Georgia and Gov. McLean, it was announced today, will be in the governor’s box. ‘The Tar Heel line is considered as | improved over its strength of last week. TOPS VIRGINIA SCORERS. BLACKSBURG, Va., October 25. Phil Spear, Virginia Poly back, is lead- ing the scorers on the grid teams in the State with 30 points. by what it did against Georgia and | Brown, it is fully as strong. The eleven is made up of almost the same per- sonnel, and apparently is just as well coached. In fact, there is very little change. If any, in the coaching, as Jones undoubtedly still is at the head of and is directing foot ball, with Ste- vens carrying out on the field just what Jones plans. While Yale did not defeat Brown by a tremendous score, it prob- ably could have won by twice the margin it did had it wanted to run up a big count. Have Plenty of Power. Both teams have in their backfields powerful smashing backs, and both have brilllant broken field runners. It is doubtful if any two elevens that are to face this Fall have two better men in an open field than Cagle of Army and Garvey of Yale. Both these players have demonstrated their capa- bilities as ball carriers and on many fields against many strong teams, and both ought to be at their best to- | MOrToW. If anybody desires to see what is likely to be the best gridiron clash along the Atlantic seaboard this year, then New Haven on Saturday ought to be his objective. Everything, except poor play, will be seen in that game that will ever be seen in any game, and in that game will be contending two of the most powerful and versatile was not expected to have as good a elevens in the “whole of this broad team as it had a year ago, but, judged land,” as the orators ought not to say.

Army golfers will continue their week- ly handicap tournaments over the War College course through November, or until cold weather makes play imprac- ticable, with the possibility of a cham- plonship interservice event to wind up the season. The time and place of this affair has net been decided upon as yet. Mrs, George Grunert won the first flight of this week's event, netting 38 for the nine-hole round. Mrs. Charles Thompson, with one more stroke, won second honors. Mrs. Clark Lynn topped the second flight with 40. More prizes were awarded in the sec- ond flight than in the first this week, owing to the fact that more than twice as many of the second section players turned out. All of those whose handicap is 10 or under are listed in the first flight; all with larger handicaps play in the second. Results: First fiight—Mrs. G. Grunert, ; Mrs. J. T. H.

Local seminary and college gymna- slums were ethy yesterday afterncon, as the fair athletes made their way to Baltimore en masse to witness the fleld hockey match between the All-England and the All-Baltimore squads played at the Baltimore Stadium. Entire squads from Miss Madeira's, Holton Arms, Mount Vernon Seminary, George Washington University and American University attended the match, which was won by the All- England squad with ease, as was ex- pected. The score was 19 to 0. Balti- moreans had scarcely anticipated hold- ing the visitors to an even count, but the hope of scoring just once through their magnificent defense died hard. Many attempts were madc to outwit the Englishwomen, but their clever stick work, combined with a strategy born of long training and keen competition on their native fields, proved too much for the Americans, Twice Baltimore succeeded in taking the ball within the striking circle, but that was as far as they could go. Most of the 3,000 hockey enthusiasts who thronged to the stadium to see the game came primarily to learn some- thing of the methods of our English cousins which have put them at the top of the internal hockey lists. Evan Humpnrey, =, | Few countries, if any, can boast teams able to hold their own against Eng- land’s best and in the 26 yeprs of American play none of the eleverns from this side has defeated an All-English squad. Mrs. Virginia Hopkins Russell was the only local player named on the All- Baltimore squad which is selecjed from the clubs of the Washington arid Balti- more combined association. Washing- ton has lost three of its strongest play- ers this past year, and lack pf time for tryouts made it necessary for the selection commiitee to pick playérs with whose ability they were familiax.

I.-Maryland game at Richmond Saturday, a large crowd of Lexington supporters of the Flying 5 e io sure to be on hand. he Cadets downed Virgnra while the Old Liners were whipping the strong Western Maryland eleven, it is more than ever evident that Tate Park will be the scene of another one of the tight, hard-fought games that ha\i'e featured the V. M. IL-Maryland series, V. M. I. has the greatest respect for Augie Roberts and Snitz Snyder, Mary- land’s backfleld luminaries, and the ball toting, heaving. and booting of Ab Barnes, Slick Harner, Al Hawkins and Bernard McCray doubtless will give cggl); Byrd's cohorts something to about. In spite of the flashiness of both sets of backs, however, this year's tussle may resolve itself into a battle of forwards. Both are fine combinations. GEORGETOWN AND NAVY . ON N. Y. U.

C second win in as many starts in the public high school grid- iron series when it tackles Western tomorrow afternoon in Central High School Staduim at 3:15 o'clock. It will be the first series game for Western. Eastern defeated Central, 6 to 0, in the opening series tilt last Friday. Eastern is favored to triumph over Western because the Lincoln Parkers have a squad that not only is much larger numerically, but is decidedly heavier and more experienced. In fact, Western will start against Eastern with just 13 eligibie players on {its roster. Several clever performers are expected to be available for play after the first advisory period tomorrow, but 13 is all that Coach Dan Ahern may now count upon.. However, he will not forfeit the game unless he finds it absolutely nec- essary. Eastern expects to take the fleld with the same line-up as began against Central last week. This follows: Holland, left end; Tom Naily, left tackle; Chamberlain, left guard; Ches- ter Miles, center; Montague, right guard; Wade, right tackle; Eaton Chalkley, right end; Capt. Wood, quarterback; McCullough, left halfback; Millar, right halfback and McCarthy, fullback. Coach Ahearn plans to start the Western team like this: Clark, left end; Gould, left tackle; McMillan, left guard; Owens, center; ‘Worthington, right guard; Seeds, right tackle; Herbie Thompson, right end: Capt. Park, quarterback; Eby, left half- back; Gerens, right halfback, and Hunt, fullback. Jim Thompson or Pagan, either of whom can, fortu- nately for Western, play just about any posjtion, are the lone reserves boasted by the Georgetown scholastics. Ahern expects to have the follow-, ing additional players available for duty after tomorrow: Draper and Cox, ends; Brownfield, back; Cook, lineman, and Webb, substitute center. Fletcher, an- other end, will be eligible, but he has not made such rapid progress in re- covering from a recent injury, and whether he will be ready to play is un- certain, In other gridiron tilts involving schoolboy teams of the District group tomorrow, Gonzaga and St. John’s and Devitt and Calvert Hall School of Bal- timore are to meet. Gonzaga and St. John’s will hook up on the Georgetown University Varsity Field at 3 o'clock and Devitt and Cal- vert Hall in the Eastern High Stadium at 3 o'clock. The latter game origin- ally was planned for Griffith Stadium. Gonzaga is favored to_win over St. John’s because of the Purple's more impressive showing so far this season. Devitt and Calvert Hall are expected to stage a well contested game. ‘The Purple plans to start the follow- ing gridders: Pyne and Ferris, ends: Hinkle and Al Farrell, tackles; Jake Farrell, center; McVean, quarterback: Bussink and Allman, and Fruene, fullback. St. John’s line-up at the opening whistle probably will comprise K. Yate: man and Pranks, ends; L. Yateman and King. tackles; Hanlon and Kolb, guards;’| ier, center; Augusterfer, back; Hudson and Reach, and Morris, fullback. Devitt will be out to avenge a 7-6 defeat handed it by Calvert Hall when the elevens face tomorrow. Francis Knott, Devitt’s captain and backfield star, may not be able to start against the Baltimoreans because of a strained tendon. Otherwise, however, the Devitt squad is in good condition, several de- pendables who have been on the sick list now being ready for duty. Emerson wil! travel to Port Deposit Md,, Saturday to engage Tome Institute in the only other game of the wezk st‘:heduled for a Washington schoolboy eleven. ‘Willingham, fullback, St. John, back and end, and Wilbur Cross, halfback, are stalwal yers Central High hopes to have available for gridiron service after the first advisory tomorrow. Under direction of Isaac B. Simon of the physical education staff of East- ern High School, students there are getting ready for intramural touch foot- ball play. Competition is staged during the regular gymnasium periods. VIRGINIA REVISING ELEVEN FOR VANDY OACH MIKE KELLEY'S East- ern High School foot ball team is expected to chalk up its UNIVERSITY, Va., October 25— Drastic measures have been adopted by Earle Neale, Virginia head coach, in an effort to instill a fighting spirit into the Cavaliers before the squad leaves here today to play Vanderbilt in Nashville Saturday. Both the personnel of his first string eleven and thelr fundamental method of play are being revised. As the first team Coach Neale has been running Turner and Paxton, ends: Capt. Luke and De Butts, tackles; Aus. tin and Boothe, guards, and Day, cen- ter. Sloan has continued to call sig- nals. with Smith and Odenheimer as halfbacks, and Lewy, fullback. Only three men on this team—Capt. Luke and Turner in the line and Sloan in the backfleld—started the V. M. I. game. Some of the men were hurt, but most of them have been -held on the second team because Neale did not like their faflure to cara” et & structions. Znowme the strength of Vanderoilt, | e coaches prefer to oppose the Com- | modores with a spirited team of new ; men if the old men do not show the fighting quality desired. W. & L. TEAM WEAKENED FOR TENNESSEE CLASH LEXINGTON, Va., October 25.—Inj facing Tennessee this week at Knox- ! ville, Washington and Lee is taking on one-of the premier teams of the South. In downing Alabama last Saturday, the Vals carved for themselves a place in the array of elevens to be watched this year. ‘Washington and Lee will go into the game weakened, as several of its men, think | were badly used up in the clash with West Virginia.

October 25 (#).— | With the season not half spent, Vi “nia College elevens already have reg- t*ered thrice the number of field goals allied the whole of last year. But last ear was lean for Old Dominion toe ~rtists with only a the credit side of the ledger, according to_official statistics. Harner of V. M. I. has counted twice by this route for the season with Hooper of V. P. I. coming through once. . single fleld goal on | pose the Harvard is Hoping to Stop Green’s Agrials BY SOL METZGER. Coach Hawley's Big Green team from the rhountains of New Hamp- shire usually plays its best foot ball against Harvard. Talk about scout- ing, Dartmouth does a fine job yearly with the Crimson, as many of its old foot ball players reside in Boston and get al. the dope on Harvard methods. One season a smashing off-tackle attack defeated Harvard. Next time, when Harvard was ready to stop such an attack, the Big Green eleven ripped inside of tackle for a victory. Without question Dartmouth will uncork a passing attack this Satur- day in the Harvard stadium, as Masters is a great back for this type of offense. One play that the Crim- son must be on the lookout for is shown here. It is a well planned forward pass, one depending upon every trick of the trade to make it go. At the snap of the ball No. 1 back and No. 6 end go down at the de- fensive backs, force their attention and swing to the right. Backs No. 2 and 3 block charging lineman. The quarter, No. 4, takes the ball under center and runs to the rear vight. End No. 5 counts two seconds while charging the opposing left tackle, then breaks down field, as indicated, and takes a pass from No. 4. A hard play to stop, as the delay usually clears the field for the receiver. How is a kick blocked? In throw- ing forward pass how is ball held to gain best results? Sounds simple, vet there is a right and a wrong way. These and many other ques- tions are answered in Metzger's “Foot Ball Secrets.” Send 10 cents in postage and get a copy.

MICKELSON, Assoctated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, October 25.—And now Puzdue fears Stagg. Almost since the beginning of foot ball rivalry between Purdue and Chicago, the pessimistic chant, “Stagg fears Purdue,” has ém- anated from Chicago's camp. But this year conditions are changed. Hopeless- 1y out of the big ten championship race, Coach Stagg and his Maroons have nothing to fear, nothing special to lose and everything to win, and the Boiler- makers are fearful lest Stagg is brew- ing poison for them Saturday. Their ferzs seem well founded, for several of Gtagg's cripples, Hugh Men- denhall, Libby and Raysson, three of the " fleetest backs in the conference, seem certain to be in Saturday’s game, and at no time this season has the morale and determination of the Maroons been higher. 2 Jowa Meets Minnesota. Towa and Minnesota, two of the un- defeated elevens of the conference, who play the headline attraction Saturday, have been hard hit by injuries. At Minnesota Leroy Timm, blocking halfback, is out with injuries suffered in the Purdue game. Wayne Kakela, veteran center, may not get in Satur- day’s game because of a “charley- horse,” and Ken Haycraft, one of the best defensive and forward pass receiv- ing erds in the country, is'suffering with a badly bruised hip. At Iowa Mike Farron, another block- ing back, is a casual. Farron is ill with influenza and chances are he will be out of the game. Coach Burt Ingwersen is locking in vain so far for some one to fill his shoes. If training camp scrimmage means anything, Indiana is going to have a tough time :gainst Ohio State Satur- day. Yesterday, Indiana’s Freshmen team ripped the varsity with Ohio line plays, while at Ohio State, the Fresh- men failed to get anywhere with Hoosier tactics. Fessler, Ohio State end, was injured yesterday, but expects to get in the game. Coach Robert Zuppke has started worrying again. This time he is fret- ting about Northwestern, Saturday's | opponent for the Illini. Northwestern, Zuppke hears, is a greatly underrated | eleven with a great ovag-izy attack., More than €0,000 are expected to; watch the game which will feature | hemecoming at Champaigr. { Two Players Punished. | At Wisconsin, interest has shifted from the approaching Michigan battl to the status of Gene Rose, halfback, and Joe Kresky, guard, who seem to have played truant after the Purdue) game. Coach Glen Thistlethwaite an- nounced that while they have been | shoved off the team, the banishment would not iast for the season. The ‘Wisconsin campus and alumni aga aii excited about the matter. % The ground gaining antics of Jack| Wheeler, a sophomore from Bay City, Mich., have cheered Michigan in its preparation for Wisconsin. ~Wheeler also has shown well on defense and | Coach Tad Wieman believes he may be ! just the punch needed to give the!

Sunday’s contests are considered im- portant as teams have suffered one de- feat already must win the next time out to retain championship chances. Action of league officials tonight in ruling on two protests in the 150-pound division will be watched with interest by the contending teams.
