SPORTS. G. U. Has “Fighting Chance” AgainstN. Y. U.: Kendall Green Gridmen Due Credit HILLTOPPERS SEE TASK AS HUGE ONE Declare Foe Has Wonderful| Team and That Strong Is Great Back. G ing to those on the Hilltop familiar with the strength of | both elevens. The Blue and Gray is not as heavy and has not yet shown the strength as a gridiron machine that the New Yorkers have. but those in| charge of athletics at the local school | feel that this week the team should reach its zenith, and against the Gotham eleven provide the best foot ball it has played this season. It also felt that New York U. put too much store by its game with Colgate last week and that this week it may not be 0 formidable, as a machine. “New York University has one of the greatest foot ball teams you ever.saw, ‘said one man on the Hilltop this morning.’ in Ken Strong. one of the best backs in the country, if not the best. The New York eleven is powerful #s a unit, and this chap Strong seems able to do almost anything there is to be done on a foot ball field. But we have a mighty good eleven. too, a better eleven than generally is thought, and it seems to me a good fighting chance to win." Coach Lou Little is spending the most of his time this week getting his team ready defensively to stop Strong and his cohorts in one of the greatest attacks possessed by any eleven in the country. And if Little succeeds in de- vising a defense to break down that attack and prevent Strong and his mates gaining ground more or less con- sistently he will succeed in doing some- thing that no other coach this year has accomplished. Such a result would be great for Georgetown and a real feather in Little's cap. A many Getorgetown people are planning to leave here to go to New York for the game. A special round-trip rate has heen obtained and it seems certain that quite a band of :!rllue and Gray supporters will make, the p. Most important of all games in the South this week is ' that between Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt at At- lanta. These teams seem to be just about at the top of the Southern Con- ference pile right now, and without any doubt are among the first five elevens in the whole South if not ®ie first two. The .game should be one of the best of the year, and possibly may be the best. MoGugin has at Vanderbilt one of the strongest elevens he has developed in the whole 25 years in which he has been coaching, and Bill Alexander has about the same at Georgia Tech. Both have gone - outside their own territory to meet schools of the North, and both have won. Vanderbilt beat Colgate and Georgia Tech trounced Notre Dame. Last year the two schools played a 0 to 0 tie at Nashville. Both “have oven styles of play, and both throw passes from one end of the field to the other. Georgia is using en ofense which is something of a cross between the old shift plays of Heiseman. when the latter was at Georgia Tech, and Notre Dame, while Venderbilt mdheres almost entirely to the short kick formation in vogue at Michigan. & Alabama goes to Madison, Wis., to try its mettle against the University of Wisconsin eleven. Wallace Wade, while he-lost to Tennessee, still has a_power- ful team and may give the Badgers something to think about for a long while. Probably whatever odds there are on the game ought to favor Wis- consin, but it would not bs a great surprise if Alabama trips up the Mid- dle Western combination. The best game here Saturday is be- tween George Wi and Willlam and Mary. The Buff and Blue has hope of breaking into the won column, 25 Willidm and Mary has not been do- ing so-well this Fall. If George Wash- ington strikes a gait, of which its auE- porters believe it capable, it may make “a surprisingly good showing against the Williamsburg collegians. shington has some good material but has not seemed able to et it all on the field at the same time use of injuries, and in no game this Fall has presented its strongest W n liam and Mary faces the best George Washington has it will have a hard time carrying back a victory, but 1t it faces a weakened local eleven, then the game, as far as George Washington is concerned, is as good as gone now. Catholic University is getting ready for its game with Rutgers, and gener- ally speaking the Brookianders feel that they have at least an outside chance for victory. Rutgers has not been doing as well this year as it has in some past seasons, and, while Catholic University has not been as strong as it was last seacon, still it is playing just as good foot ball. As a matter of fact, whether it wins or loses, the Brookland eleven, as Jong as it is under McAuliffe, will play good foot ball. Maryland journeys to Norfolk to meet Virginia Polytechnic Institute and is not going to have its full strengih on the field. Both ends and three backs are on the shelf as a result of bruises and strains in last week’s game at Rich- | mond, and it is ceftain that at least two | or three of t] will not be ready. It is doubtful if either Dodson and He=agy, ends, or Kessler and Radice, backs, will be zble to play at all. With three regulars who have been on the injured list sure to return, and with a chance of another being able to get back in action, Gallaudet will pre- sent a much stronger line-up lgllnsl’ Shepherd College Saturday, at Kendall Green, than it has been able to assem- ble in. recent games. Dyer and Zieske will return to the backfield and Reins to the line. and Grinnell, regular tackle, may b2 able to again take his place. Coach Teddy Hughes, however, is somewhat concerned about his line, as Byouk, end, may be unable to play be- | cause of a bad knee. 1f the Shepherd eleven furnishes Ga!- laudet with the tough opposition the West.

EW YORK, November 1 () — When It comes to picking the Winners, most of the big East- ern games this week puzzle the experts, One of the toughest battles to predict is that between New York University and Georgetown. Neither team has been beaten this season and both have remarkable scoring records. Georgetown leads the country, having rolled up 240 points in five games against 7 for its opponents. N. Y. U. has scored 176 points, of which 91 have been tallied by Ken Strong. With a big and powerful line, .the N. Y. U. defense has halted every run- ning attack sent against it and forced the enemy into the air' to score. On the offense no opponent has been able to stop the flashy Strong or his running mates. Speedy Georgetown- backs have run circles around the opposing teams. The meeting between Yale and Dart- mouih looks like another stand-off un- less injuries hamper Dartmouth. Both have been beaten. Yale by Army and Dartmouth by Harvard, but neither defeat can be charged to any impor- tant weakness nor can much be deter- mined about the relative strength of wh; teams until they settle it on the eld.

Tech, according to Hardell, probably will begin like this: Hissey, left end; Cole, left tackle; Oyster, left guard; Leo Winston, center; Capt.

Aside from the Tech-Western game three other gridiron matches involving scholastic elevens of the District group are carded tomorrow.

Clemson, however, has furnished more of the surprise element than any other.

CALLAUDET HALED | AS PLUCKY OUTFT Coach Hughes Handicapped Yearly by Small Squad and Lack of Funds. BY JOHN B. KELLER. N college foot ball the big teams get | most of the praise, but often the little fellows deserve as much, if not more. It's not so difficult to forge ahead when you have many | resources and every facility for flo-i veloping them. Success of even the | slightest degree means a struggle for | the less fortunate, though. And the | latter deserve everything good that may | be said of them. So here's to Gal- laudet’s foot ball team. Pluck demands respect and compels admiration, and the Kendall Greeners have pluck to the “nth"” degree. Gallauds=t has won but cne of the four games it has played thus far, yet is offering no alibi. Instead, the little band of grid- iron warriors— there are but 26 in the squad, for Ken- dall Green never has more than 65 to 70 male students, and rarely are there as many as half the number physically fit to strive for places with ath- letic teams—keeps plugging away daily under the direction - of the peppery coach, Teddy Hughes, | ever hopeful of victory in the impend- ing contest. The Kendall Greeners have had their share of troubles this season— maybe more than their share, but they aren't kicking. Theirs is the spirit that forgets the past, looking only ahead to more successful effort. And such spirit is not to be denied. It may well be said of the Kendall Greeners that, despite many handicaps, they always fight gamely and with determination to | the last whistle. They never are to be underestimated by an opponent. Hughes, a graduate of Gallaudet in 1908, who has been coaching foot ball there for nine years, has nothing but praise for the willing and earnest grid- ironers he has directed. Here's what he has to say of foot ball this year and in general at the institution: Co-operation Not Lacking. “While Gallaudet cannot say it has had a successful season, there is a feel- ing at Kendall Green that about as much has been accomplished with the material available as could be expected. You know, we have a small school here and little to work with, but I am proud to say that every one here helps as much as Puuihle in the development of aot only foot ball, but all other athletic ams. “The recurrence of old injuries to the few experienced foot ball men this sea- son has been a great setback. Capt. Byouk, perhaps one of the best punters in the District, was laid out again in the first three minutes of play last Sat- urday. In fact, this triple threater has seen less play during the past two sea- sons than would consiitute two complete games. A weak knee has repeatedly caused him trouble, although the in- Jjured m~mber has been given every at- tention possible. ‘“Dyer, one of the two really fast men on the team, was out half of last season and already has been on the sideline most of this season because of an in- jury. Other lesser lights have been hurt, too, but most of them have managed to get into games for a time. If they hadn’t we would have been in a sorry fix. As it is now, we rarely are able to muster more than six or seven substi- tutes in addition to the varsity- before an engagement. “Gallaudet always plays most of its games away from home. It is unable to offer the guarantees asked by many teams invitéd to Kendall Green, and generally has to accept out-of-town games with small guarantees. However, we soon hope to overcome this. The school has an athletic endowment that Is growing slowly, and in a few years ;h?':ld be able ‘to balance its schedule etter. “When Gallaudet goes away from Kendall Green for games now the small | guarantees it receives preclude the trav- eling of more than 17 or 18 players to the opponent's field. In modern foot ball the well manned ¢olleges employ so many ‘shock troops' and make line-up changes so frequently that a small squad such as Gallaudet's soon is worn down, Yet not once since I've been associated with Gallaudet has a Kendall Green Teddy Hughes. cleven quit in the face of s tremendous “We are hoping it will be dinerentl 53 .. PLAYS UK ONI.Y. L ELEVE Scrubs, Imitating Blue and Gray, Able to Get One Touchdown. NEW YORK, November 1—Coach Meehan of New York University again played his regulars upon the defensive in the workout yesterday at Ohio Field and for more than an hour and a half three reserve elevens, utilizing George- town University formations, were hurl- ed against the varisity. Despite the hard playing of the varsity, the scrubs again managed to cross the goal line. Substitutions were numerous on the reserve team. The varsity was worked hard and the speedy junior varsity backs time after time swept the ends and dove off-tackle. Hormel and Shapiro were adept at out- distancing the varsity wings, while Gau- det and Roberts were spearing the air with forward passes which proved ground-gainers for the reserves. Meehan let the scrubs have the ball for the entire practice session yester- day, but only once did the varsity yieid for a score. An end run by Hormel drew out the varsity wing, and the di- :ngmuve back sprinted 18 yards for the ally. The varsity lined up in yesterday's drill with O'Herin, Strong, Hill and Follet in the backfield. Schneider was at center, Grant and Capt. Lassman at the tackles, Myers and Sargisson at the guard posts and J. Nemecek and Barra- bee at the wings. Strong was taken out of the test with the scrubs after 30 minutes of playing. Mcehan sent him to the other end of the field and Strong busied himself for 40 minutes in a punting drill. RICE TO AGAIN CORH CATHOLIC U. COURTMEN Jack McAuliffe, Catholic University director of athletics, has announced that Fred Rice, who has turned out strong basket ball teams for several years at Catholic University, will again the coming season tutor the Cardinal courtmen. Jack Clark, a 1925 C. U. graduate, will coach the freshmen quint and will also handle the yearling base ball squad next Spring. Eddie la Fond, freshman foot ball coach, will direct varsity Spring foot | ball practice and assist in the physical education program which is now being put into effect at C. U. Teddy Hughes will continue as the Cardinal boxing coach. MICHIGAN GETS A PLAY FROM INJURED GRIDDER ANN ARBOR, Mich, Novembgr 1 (). —Injuries have forced Del Whittle, Michigan's star halfback, out of the coming Illinols game, but his spirit and foot ball cunning will be there. Whittle, a Chicago vouth, has evolved a secret foot ball plav. In practice it has been so successful that Coach Tad le'iierxnan plans to use it against the ni. after a season or two. The growing athletic endowment ought soon to as- sure better equipment for teams and ;fi:erullmme clu! e 'n(“steh resources e nfl’m spi of e squads should make for greater foot ball suc- cess at Gallaudet.” Gallaudet is not without its place in South Atlantic foot ball history, even though its fame on the gridiron has been dimmed somewhat in the past few seasons. Despite the small 'squads that turn out annually. several stars of the first water have been developed at Kendall Green. More than. two decades ago, the school had a remark- able back in Andree, a young blond giant whose prowess on the gridiron spread even beyond the South Atlantic section. Shortly before the World War, it had in Marshall and Foltz as fine a pair of ends as any other college team in this vicinity possess2d—in fact, a finer pair than most of the other -colleges could boast of. About three years 8go. Deer made gridiron history for Kendall Green. His was not a great winning team, but in all his games he performed so impressively that he was ranked with the best players of this territory. And, blessed with an indomitable spirit, Gallaudet will produce better teams and more players whose fame will spread beyond the confines of their college. They have little at Ken- dall Green. but they make much of what they have. All hands always are trying and perseverance will tell in the long run. Gallaudet’s next game, Saturday, is with the Shepherd College eleven at Kendall Green. DUCK SEASON NOW CPEN Virginia Non-Resident Hunting Licenses Issued SHOTGUNS STANDARD MAKES e Parker Bros., A. H.
