SPORTS. HOYAS ENCOUNTER FIRST STRONG FOE Durham Eleven Expected to Prove Test—Other Local Varsities Play. BY H. C. BYRD. OCAL colleges take part in three foot ball games on their home flelds tomorrow. Most important is that between Georgetown and Duke University at Griffith Sta- dium, while the one between George Washington and City College of New York in the Central High School Sta- dium ranks next. American University entertains the Shenandoah eleven in the other contest. ~:asiderable interest is being shown in the Georgeiww=-Duke meeting. Not only is it recognized that the game should develop some of the best Tout kall of the year, but Georgetown people espe- clally are anxious to see hoW their team is going to stack up against a strong opponent. The Blue and Gray so far has been only in games that were easily won, games in which the opposing eleven was anything but capable of providing stern opposition, and its followers really want to know just how well their machine will fare against Duke as a criterion of what it may accomplish in even harder games to come. Duke has a tgaT cfpnble ]or puttitnnlgn \l.\g good game against any eleven ;ace. ln%l it m:kes no secret of the fact that it expects to give Georgetown a bat- tle. Of course, it may nok and George- town may win easily, but Duke does not expect that kind of a result at all. If it fails to put up a hard struggle and give Georgetown all that is desired in the way of strenuous opposition, then the Duke squad is due to go back to Durham a much disappointed organiza- 0. mOoach Jimmie DeHart usually is an optimistic young man. He never believes ®ny team of his is whipped until after the final whistle has blown, and then, even if it has the short end'of the score, he can figure a dozen ways it should have won. And DeHart is a good coach, one who understands foot ball and is able to get about as much out of his team @s anybody else could. If Duke fails to meke the kind of showing wgainst Georgetown it thinks it should Jimmie DeHart will net be responsible. Coach Lou Little of Georgetown has been driving his forces all this week (o have them fit for their first hard strug- gle of the year. Against Duke, Little expects the most difficult opposition by far that he has faced this season, and has tried to impress on his men that they must be at their best in order to win. Georgetown has had easy sailing in its previous games, but knows that tomorrow's is cne entirely different. Duke is made up of far better material than eleven Georgetown has pre- viously faced, it will be filled with a finer fighting spirit, and it will be far better coached, and these things combined make a good foot ball ma- chine. Georgetown and Duke should play one of the best games of the year on Jocal fields. Anybody that makes the journey to Clark Griffith’s athletic | Geor; ant tomorrow afternoon is not likely p‘; come away disappointed in the kind of foot ball he, or she, bas watched. Geotge Washington is likely to make & much better showing in_ its game with City College of New York than it has in any of its previous contests. The Buff and Blue was so crippled up as a result of its games with Lafayette and Fordham that it_was only a shell of its self against St. Francis last week. Tt bas lost all three games by decisive scores, but this week has back in its line-up somet like its full strength. Lopeman is in the backfield, although Clapper will not be able to start. Unless City. College of New York is better than thought, George Washing- ton cught to break into the won column. Last year the local school won from the New Yorkers, and tomorrow it expects THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1928.

Maryland makes the journey to Rich- mond to play Virginia Military Insti- tute. The Lexington eleven did not start the season very well, being held to a tie by Richmond, but then it went to Atlanta and gut up & great battle with Georgla Tech, and last week it trimmed Virginia, 9 to 0. When it is considered that Virginia held Prince- ton to & 0-to0 tie the week before, mot much more is needed to indicate that V. M. I has come rapidly and is just \bout strong enough to give any school n the section all that is looked for in the way of competition. Maryland is not in very good mg: for the game, three of iis four bac! being so badly bruised that they have not been able to practice all this week. Maryland knows that it must stop Barnes in order to repeat its victory of last season, when it won, 10 to 6, as that back is one of the best ball carriers in the South. He almost won from Maryland last season by reason of his prowess as an individual. Gallaudet goes to Selingsgrove, Pa., to meet Susquehanna University. Sus- quehanna lost to Georgetown here earlier in the year by a big margin, but at that Gallaudet will be lucky to win. T Susquehanna on the latter's ome field is not an easy task for the endall Greeners, however bravely they battle, American University ought to stand = fair chance of winning from Shenan- doah, as the latter is more in the class of the Methodists than the teams they have been playing. Yale and Army are playing the lead- ing roles tomorrow in the Eastern foot ball world, despite the clashing of big teams at other places. The stage seems set for one of ‘the greatest struggles of the year; probably the greatest. Cer- tain at this stage of the game no other two teams loom up as strong enough to put up the kind of contest that the Soldiers and the Bulldog will. Much already has been said of the game, and suffice it here to mention that anybody who wants to see just about the maxi- mum of good play along the Atlantic seaboard this year would do well to spend tomorrow afternoon in New Haven. While Yale and Army are battling at New Haven, Princeton will be meeting Cornell at Princeton and Harvard fac- ing Dartmouth at Cambridge. The Princeton-Cornell contest seems to be something of a toss-up, but up at Cam- bridge Dartmouth should be favored to win, Neither game has anything like the aspect of the Yale-Army, though there ought to be plenty of good, hard and well played foot ball in each. Out in the Middle West two great games are to be played. At Lincoln the University of Nebraska and University of Missourl are to hook up in what ought to be a battle royal between two big and powerful elevens, and at Iowa City the University of Towa and Univer- burgh.

Two other games scheduled in the East, while not taking rank with some of those mentioned, are between West Virginia University and Lafayette at Easton and between Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh.

C., October 26— After a light workout today the Duke University Blue Devils will leave for Washington, where they will meet Georgetown tomorrow. The squad with the exception of John Jankoski, fullback, who has been on the crippled list, is in excel- lent condition. Sam Bluie showed superb form in passing, kicking and running in scrimmage yesterday and is expected to stand out in the contest. Jankoski likely will start in the game, although fear was expressed that he might not be able to stick it through. EMERSON éRIDDERS WILL INVADE TOME Emerson Institute’s foot ball team will go to Port Deposit, Md., tomorrow to engage the Tome Institute eleven in the only game of the day in which a scholastic grid outfit of the Washing- ton group will figure. Thus far Emerson has an even break for the season, having won two and lost two games. Victories have been scored ovef Eastern, regarded as a foremost contender for the public high title, and Charlotte Hall Military Academy, Emer- son bowed to Business by only 6 to 7 and its other defeat was at the hands of Gettysburg Academy. The District scholastics probably will find the Tome boys tough opponents as the school generally has a stalwart eleven. Because the squad is small and all members are called upon for much duty most of the Emerson players are by no means in the best shape physically. The latest dependable to be injured is Nelson Colley, star back, who suffered a hurt shoulder in practice. Whether he will be able to play against Tome is un- certain. 7 Coach P. L. Banfleld plans to start this Emerson line-up against the Port Deposit school boys: Davidson, Rigg, ends; Mathews, Man- gum, tackles: Shugrue, Wheatley, guards; Dan Galotta, center; Gordon, uarterback; Buscher, Bird and either olley, McKalg, Powers or Skinner in the backfield. Headlining the scholastic gridiron card today was the public high title battle between Eastern and Westefn in Central Stadium. Gonzaga and St. John’s were to meet on the Georgetown University Varsity Field and Calvert Hall and Devitt in Griffith Stadium in other games of the day. V. M. 1. TAKES LAST WORKOUT OF PLAYS By the Assoclated Press. LEXINGTON, Va., October 26.—With the gridiron battle with the University of Maryland scheduled for tomorrow in Richmond, Virginia Military Institute's flying squadron will leave today for the 0Old Dominion capitol. In the final workout on their home fleld the Cadets yesterday devoted a full practice to foot ball fundamentals and a long dummy scrimmage against ex- pected Maryland plays. Chadwick has for the last few days been alternating with Grow at center, and he may start in that position to- morTow. Except for center it is expeeted that the same team that started against Virginia last week will open with Mary- land tomorrow. VIRGINIA CRIPPLED FOR VANDY BATTLE By the Assoclated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., October 26—University of Virginia Cavaliers who left here yesterday for Nashville to meet Vanderbilt Saturday, expect to take a workout in Louisville, Ky., this afternoon. ‘The squad that left here is in a rath- er crippled condition, with Close and Faulconer, backs, both injured. With these men on the lame list, the attack is virtually certain to be toned down, but work has been directed this week toward a new offense with reserves brought into work with Sloan, | Clemson’s Victory Gives Lead In Southern Conference Race By the Assoclated Press. TLANTA, Ga., Octobér 26— Clemson’s Tigers, foot ball rulers of the South a score of years ago, but badly battered in more modern gridiron history, have returned to the throne again, temporar- ily, at least. Today, the men of Coach Josh Cody- the power behind the ascension—sur- vived the Southern Conference field with a satisfled demeanor. They have, for the first time in the history of the con- ference taken the lead, holding a three- game lead, holding a three-game won margin for first place against two vic- tories for Georgia Tech and Tennessee. It has been a long time between great teams for the Tiger, but yesterday the Juigaleers overwhelmed South Caro- lina’s Gamecocks, the conqueror of Chi- cago, Virginla and Maryland. The score of 32 to 0 tells the story of the rout of Billy Laval's men before a charging Clemson line and powerful thrusts of Johnny Justus, little halfback. Keeps Clean Slate. By blanking the Gamecocks, the Tiger kept its goal inviolate, not a point hav- ing been registered by opponents in six games. More costly than the defeat, however, to South Carolina was an injury to Zo- bel, flashy little Gamecock halfback. Zobel received a leg injury early in the game which may cause his loss the re- mainder of the season, although the ex- tent of the hurt has not been deter- mined. ‘While the echoes of this all-Carolina classic, dating from 1896, resounded through the South, fans generally turned toward tomorrow’s schedule. Georgia Tech was to work out at Chapel Hill late today in preparation for its game there tomorrow against the ‘Tarheels of North Carolina. Virginia was due to arrive at Nash- ville_in preparation for a clash with the Vanderbilt Commodores, a team of the usual McGugin power. ‘Tennessee tapered off with attention to a passing attack for Washington and Lee at Knoxville, the Vols ti to avold a let-down following their great victory a week ago over Alabama. Other Attractive Games. Meanwhile the Crimson Tide hoped to score a washout of Sewanee at Birming- ham, although the Purple Tigers, re- gardless of “dope” always give Alabama and Vanderbilt plenty of worry. Wal- | lace Wade has dropped Brasfield and Beale, regulars, from the lineup. Brumbaugh, Crabtree, Owens, Florida’s crack backfield, has been prepared for a drive against North Carolina State this week at Jacksonville, the ’Gators hoping to avenge last sea- son’s beating at the hands of McDowall and his mates. Georgia, crippled by line injuries, has tried this week to plug the center gap for Tulane's invasion. Morris is likely to start at the pivot position. Virginia Military ~Institute's *“iron men”"—the eleven that played 60 full minutes against Virginia last week, will start against Maryland at Richmond. Diamond Tricks of Old Days Have Parallels on Gridiron BY WALTER TRUMBULL. N the bright days « the old Balti- more Orioles the home diamond was subject to change. Robinson, ‘McGraw, Jennings, Keeler and the other members of that team which put inside base ball on the map would get together and dope out the pitcher the opposing club was likely to use. If he happened to be a tall man, he found, the next afternoon, a hollow where the pitcher’s mound was sup- posed to be. On that day the Orioles would use & short pitcher, and the enemy batsmen would hit against balls which appeared to be coming up out of a cellar. But if the visiting pitcher happened to be short, he would find a real mound, in fact, a small mountain. That day the Baltimore pitcher would be tall and the ball would descend upon enemy hitters from somewhere in the clouds. also has been rumored that the lines between home and third and home and first were so constructed that it practically was impossible for a bunt to roll foul. The Orioles were great bunters. To this day McGraw can place a bunt better than any player on the Giant team. > The grass in the Oriole outfield was kept long enough to conceal a ball. ‘They do say that the horsehide which was hit was not always the same one which was thrown in. Naturally, these are only rumors, gilded by the hand of time. Grid Oddities Also Possible. ‘There is scarcely opportunity for the deft landscape gardening in foot ball that there is in base ball, but here, too, strange things happen. One coach, who took a fast eleven to play a slower and heavier team, is even now complaining that the grass on the home gridiron had been neglected to the extent that it was an inch long, and twined around the insteps of his speedy backs. Next time proposes to have the men in his interference all push lawn mowers ahead of them. There is another story on record of a game between two large Eastern elevens. When the visiting team, noted for its speed, arrived it found that the field resembled a marsh, although there had been no rain for weeks. Some care- less person had upset the water cart— agnost deplorable accident. hen there are cases such as that of the coach (the home team provides the pigskin) who offered the visiting eleven, ch had a great kicker, a soft, a softer and a softest ball from which to make its choice.. The great kicker that day averaged under 30 yards. The story of the Carlisle eleven that went to Cambridge with flat leather pads, the size and shape of a foot ball, sewed to their jerseys is old. Percy Haughton merely stated that the home team furnished the ball and, as there was nothing in the rules as to color, either the pads would come off or the TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F game would be played with a ball paint- ed black. The pads came off. Psychology, too, plays its part. Chick Meehan once took a sprinter to the top of the Syracuse stand and showed him the newly marked fleld. “This is a deep secret between you and me,” he said. “I want you to look at that field. Nobody will notice the difference, but I have had it so marked that it is 5 yards wider than it should be. That is to give you a chance to outrun and circle the opposing ends.” ‘The sprinter made some good end runs in that game. He felt that there was room enough for his speed to count, and that there was an additional ad- vantage in the fact that he alone knew it. The advantage was in his mind. ‘The field was, of course, the usual size. Bob Zuppke once had his backs turn around in their tracks before the ball was snapped. While opposing linemen were watching this evolution and trying to figure out why the Illinois ball car- riers were imitating whirling dervishes, the play got under way and caught the opposition high and flat-footed. When the Warner or Haughton hid- den ball plays were at the height of their efficiency every man in the back- fleld was put through a course in act- ing. If an eleven can be induced to break its concentration or watch players instead of the ball an attack is more likely to function.

PERRY IS YALE TONOSE UT MY Sure Cadets Will Have Hard Sledding to Stop Elis’ Running Attack. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, October 26—Week by week the going grows rougher for prominent foot ball elevens, chiefly because they are beginning to r=n against teams nearly as promiment.as they are, if not quite ex. Saturday’s subject of games througi- out the country bristles with pros- pects of thrilling conflict. Wherever you look you find the irresistible force about to collide with the immovable body, find blazing metors which have thus early attracted ‘the serious at- tention of gridiron astronomers per- suing courses which will bring them into crashing contact. And in proportion as the strength of competing elevens is more evenly adjusted, so the difficulty of selecting probable winners is emphasized. Al- most every game to be played on Sat- urday is likely to be close, the out- come & toss-up, but since part of the Joy of this great Autumn sport lies in"'pre-game dope, the writer herewith presents his opinion as to the teams which seem to hold the edge in the approaching struggles. Army-Yale. A great game this. Yale, despite opinion to the contrary, is not so strong just now as she was at this time last year when she beat the Army by a forward pass touch- down. It is doubtful if she will be able to present her strongest team be- cause of injurles. Her attack has not as yet been fully developed. Her ends are not yet to par. Leans Toward Yale. Army was not battered in the Har- vard game. Yale probably can stop her running game. She may throttle the forward passing attack. No one can ever tell about that. Army will have a tough time with the El run- ning offense. It is asking a lot of the Cadets to play as fine a game against Yale as they did against Harvard with one week interval between. The writer therefore is inclined to ook for a vic- tory for the Elis. Carnegie Tech-Pitisburgh. The Skibo team impressed the writer when he saw it as one of the most promising in the country. So far this promise has been fulfilled and the writer expects a Tech victory. Colgate-N. Y. U. Another great prospect. This N. Y. U. outfit is a big. a tough, versatile eleven and it seems it should win this game. Columbia-Williams. A close game probably, with Williams picked. Cornell-Princeton. Princeton is a big team with all sorts of material, but a big injured list, especially among the guards. - Cornell has shown nothing im- pressive, but neither has Princeton. Be- lieving the time has come for the Tigers to show, they are picked as winners. Dartmouth-Harvard. Dartmouth is picked to defeat the Crimson. Navy-Pennsylvania. The prospects seem to be that Penn will win. Penn State-Syracuse. Looks like a Syracuse victory. Purdue-Chicago. Purdue is the likely winner. llinois-Northwestern. This will be a good game, with Illinois likely to win. Indiana-Ohio _State. Two strong teams, with the Buckeyes apparently the stronger and thus a probable winner. Towa-Minnesota. The Gophers are picked to win. Michigan-Wisconsin. This looks like a Badged victory. Towa State-Kansas. Iowa State, an alert, fast team, should win. Big Midwest Game. Missouri-Nebraska. The big game of Missourl Valley and a real thriller. Missourl will be more alert, more versatile, but Nebraska's almost unbe- llevable power and wealth of resources give her a slight edge. California-Olympic Club. California is 8lcked, regon State is picked to defeat U. of W;‘shlnmn. 5 g ‘ennessee ‘should beat and Lee. D Texas U. should beat Rice. Vanderbilt should beat Virginia, V. M. I should beat Maryland. California at Los Angeles should bea* Idaho College. Wesleyan should beat Amherst. Brown should beat Tufts. Fordham looks good against Wash ington and Jefferson. Holy Cross is picked over Marquett V. P. I. LINE IS STRONG.
