SPORTS. ‘'THE EVINING STAR. WASHIN YTON. D. ©. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 6, 1570 @PORTS.’ Georgetown No Weakling, * PUNGH NOT SAPPED INN.Y. U CONTEST “Bear” Yarns From Hilltop May Be Discounted—No Set-Up for Plaid. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EORGETOWN'S game grid- ironers took a deal of punish- ment while scoring their vie- tory over New York University last week, but, despite the bear” stories emanating from the Hilltop these days, the team is apt to take the field at Albany, N. Y. next Saturday ready to give Carnegie Tech plenty of trouble. Georgetown teams are like that. They have a way of coming back wonderfully well after a tough tussle. Three of the backfield regulars, two linemen and an end are said to be fit subjects for hospitalization. Well, & split lip fsn't likely to keep Jim Mooney from kicking, nor are charleyhorses apt to check the play-smashing abilities of Steve Barabas, Bob Dwyer and John Tomaini. It's different in Ralph Duplin’s case. A badly wrenched back is worrying him. But Georgetown has John Scalzi, & mighty good quarter- back, to replace Duplin. | In' the face of this it would seem | that the “bear” stories are being cir- | culated more for the benefit of Car-| negle Tech than anything else Then, too, there’s a lot of talk about the difficulty of arousing the team to the proper mental state for the game next Saturday. It's extremely difficult to key a team for a second successive “big” game after it has worked so hard in winning, ‘tis sald. Well, it’s not | easy to make any one who saw the Blue end Gray battle the Violet last Satur- day believe this. That encounter left the impression that Georgetown always | would be ready to fight, regardless of what it had recently been through. Will Be No Set-Up. Georgetown isn't the greatest team ever. It isn't flawless. But, mark this, it's a fighting team—a team with an indomitable spirit that makes the most of everything it possesses. Any one not inclined to believe this should com- municate with New York University. The Blue and Gray may be a bit shaky on its underpinning now, but it'll be far from a set-up for the Skibos. The three days Georgetown has re- maining to fit itself physically for the Carnegie Tech conflict should bring it around to trim. Most of the time may be given to conditioning the players physically rather than mentally. A foot ball team that knows as much of #he game as does the Georgetown team needs little more mental training this late in the season. Light drills will suffice to keep the Blue and Gray on edge for tactical play. As to a physieal recuperation, it's really remarkable how quickly the average college foot ball player regains fitness after undergoing really grueling punishment. A comparison of past performances makes Georgetown a better looking out- fit than Carnegie Tech. The first three opponents Georgetown met this season probably were just as strong as the first three encountered by Carnegie ‘Tech. Yet against Mount St. Mary's, Susquehanna and Lebanon Valley, the Blue and Gray totaled 171 points and allowed none, while the Plaid scored CLIFFORD- 142 in tilts with Westminster, Ashland «and Thiel and had 19 tallied against it. Good Against. Big Fellows. Georgetown followed these three en- gagements by bowling over West Vir- ginia Wesleyan and Duke by decisive scores, then upsetting New York Uni- versity. Carnegie Tech licked Wash- ington and Jefferson, not so strong this year, in its fourth game, and in its fifth barely managed to win over Pitts- burgh, which is not to be rated so highly this season. Last Saturday the Skibos idled. Of course, Carnegie Tech is no weak- ling. And it has an unpleasant habit of surprising teams that are figured to | figure, all the other elevens being listed beat it.

Carey prob- ably will be ready, however, to play in the American University contest here November 17, the Colonials’ next home match. Clements, reserve player, who took Carey’s place after the latter was in- jured Saturday and Rollins, regular guard, are players who are being drilled with a view to taking Carey's place. It appears that University of Mary- land will be able to present a decidedly tronger line-up in their annual game with Yale Saturday in New Haven than the OId Liners presented against V. P. 1. Saturday. Heagy, right end, who was on the sidelines throughout the match with the Gobblers; Kessler, quarter, who was in the game the last two minutes; Radice, right halfback, who played part of the time, and Dod- son, left end, who played most of the game, but was not in top shape, all are expected to be able to take the field against the Blue. Should the Old Liners be able to put their strongest combination on the field against Yale they likely will show creditably. The first-string team is a 1l-balanced combination, but lacks He reserve power to stand changes. Maryland's Freshmen will entertain Washington and Lee Yearlings at Col- lege Park Saturday while the Old Line Varsity is at Yale, The young Gen- crals defeated the Virginia Cubs, who previously had trimmed the Maryland Yearlings. GRID PLAYER SEEN AS COLLEGE ASSET By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, November 6—The ave- rage foot ball player in larger universi- ties brings $10,000 to his school through sate receipts and endowments, but gets nothing in return but cracked ribs and mean looks from stern professors for failing in his studies, James Weber Linn, professor of English at the Uni- versity of Chicago, said yesterday. Speaking before a group of foot bhll enthusiasts, professor Linn said: “Many of the big universities clear $200,000 a year in their foot ball season.” ‘That's $600,000 for the players three player has paid $10,000 each in the gate receipts alone. What does he get in return? Only the opportunity ‘to sweat blood and crack ribs on the fleld and try to keep up with his studies.

The winner of Friday's contest will meet Lane High School at Charlottes- ville on Thanksgiving day in one of the semi-final games for the State cham< pionship. Virginia A. C. has canceled its game Sunday with the Quantico Marine Av- iators in view of the drubbings the Devil Dogs have received from the St. Mary’s Celtics and the Alexandria Fire Department Preps.

Clarke scored on a 65-yard run for the Rosebuds, while Francis gal- loped 60 yards for the Eagles’' touch- down. Local employes of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad and the Southern Railway Co. have formed a bowling league. RIPLEY SURE TO AGAIN HANDLE G. U. BASKETERS Elmer Ripley, former Washington professional basket ball player, who suc- cessfully coached the Georgetown Uni- versity quint last season, was expected to sign a contract to coach the Hoya five this season at a conference late today with Lou Little, athletic director at_the Hilltop. Where Georgetown will play its home games is still uncertain and the com- pletion of its schedule is awaiting the settlement of this matter, Ripley is satisfied with the salary even the facuity have been infected by the athletic bug. West Virginia backs will run as candi- dates for glory at the Yankee Stadium. Tomorrow Southwestern and Simons play at Georgetown, Tex.

Games Sure to Be Close. It looks as if most of these games might be close, and it would seem that the wise coach would do a lot of work on goal-kicking between now and Sat- urday. The one point secured by boot- ing the ball over the bar after touch- down, or the the three points secured by a goal from the field, might well be the diffe between victory ar feat. It w K sults how muci And this does not apply only to a good drop or place kicker. It also means a good punter. I do not believe that Georgetown ever would have been able to stave off New York University with- out the vast assistance of Jim Mooney's oe. Mooney is more than a good kicker. He is a great kicker. Any man who can step up in a pinch and boot a heavy, wet, slippery ball for 65 yards deserves the greatest praise. Time and again, Mooney kicked New York back from an attacking to a defensive position. This, Georgetown boy ranks with the best, with Herschberger, Brooke, O'Dea, ‘Thorpe and Mahan, He is a kicker from Kickersville, by N American News- per Alliance.) TIP FOR FISHERMEN. i its line does not appear as formidable Gallaudet is prepping vigorously for its game Saturday with Delaware at Newark. Last season the Kendall Greeners defeated Delaware here, 12 | 10 7, and hope to repeat Saturday. Gal- laudet has a good offensive team, but as it might be, but if Coach Teddy) Hughes _is able to develop more power along his forward wall the Kendall Greeners should cause their opponents considerable worry from now on. CHATFIELD CHOSEN ST. ALBAN'S COACH Sherwood Chatfield, a Washington boy, who was graduafed from St. Al- ban’s School in 1925, where he was a foot ball and base ball star, has been appointed active athletic director of the school and will assume his duties with the opening of the 1929 Fall term. Chatfield will be graduated from Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., next June. He is captain and halfback on the present Hamilton _College eleven and also catches on the school's base ball team. Rev. James Henderson, who in addi- tion to acting as chaplain at St. Alban’s has served as athletic director thére since 1918, will continue to have a part in the school's athletic work, but in an advisory capacity. He describes Chat- 1d as one of the best athletes he has ever developed and also regards him as permentaily well fitted for his new s Rev.

ESPITE that Tech looms rather a heavy favorite to win over Central in_their annual public high school title foot ball game Friday in Central Stadium, the game has aroused a deal of interest as do all athletic meetings between these traditional foes. A couple weeks ago it appeared that Central's team would not have a chance against Coach Hap Hardell's Maroon and Gray, and the latter would be able easily to wipe out the 12-0 defeat hand- ed it last Fall by the Blue and White. 1t still appears likely that Tech will win, but followers of the McKinley team heve more respect for Central since last Tucsday, when the Columbia Heights boys bowled over Business, 18 to 0. With St. John, rugged, strong-kicking back | and several others who heretofore had been on the ineligible list on the job it was a different appearing eleven than that which tackled Eastern, though the Lincoln Parkers were able to turn back the Blue and White by only 6 to 0. Tech, however, is given a rather decided edge Friday in view of its consistently strong playing all season. Central may have to meet Tech with- | out Capt. Gene Stevens, its clever little halfback, as it is not certain he will have recovered sufficiently from an in- jury to play. Zimmisch, center, also will be lost to the Blue and White team, as the result of a leg hurt. Of the 25 games played between Cen- | tral and Tech, the former has won 11, | lost 9 and tied 5.
