SPORTS. Catholic U. in Lone Game Here Tomorro LOYOLA TO INVADE - BRODKLAND FELD Many Washington Fans to Go to Baltimore to See Navy Play Michigan. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY is the only one of the local schools that has a foot ball game to- morrow on its home field. The 432 Brooklanders entertain Loyola College of Baltimore and, despite the ‘good team that represents the visitors, expects to win. Coach Jack McAuliffe’s men have confidence in thcis ability to “take the Baltimoreans in‘o camp. “ ‘The other local elevens play on for- elgn fields—Georgetown snd Carnegie “Tech at Albany, George Washington at “Penn State, Gallaudet at Delaware and “Maryland at Yale. ‘Three of the local schools face rough %ledding, with only one standing any- “thing like an even chance to win. Georgetown meets an exceptionally diffi- “cult opponent in Carnegie Tech, and nobody has to be told what kind of op- osition George Washington and Mary- | dand face in pitting their strength | ‘against Penn State and Yale. | Georgetown’s game with Carnegie “Tech was transferred from Washington to Albany at the urgent request of ‘Georgetown alumni in that section. Georgetown Is Hopeful. Georgetown, with the exccption that it feels Carnegie Tech his an.edge ‘in not having played last week, is banking on just about an even chance against the Pittsburghers. The Blue and Gray came through its game with New York University well, d it again will have its full strength available. Georgetown's one difficulty seems to be that it is unusual indeed for an eleven to play through the kind of game it played last week and come back Just as strong the following week. If it does that, the Blue and Cray ought to stand a better chance against Carnegie Tech than it did against New York University. George Washington has little chance in its game with Penn State. Last year the Buff and Blue played a good game against Bezdek's eleven, the final count being 13 to 0. This Fall, though, the local team is not in as good shape as it was in 1927 and consequently is not likely to make as good a showing. Coach Crum has been beset by injuries and hard luck from the beginning of the year, it seems, and his team has not come through, and it was hardly to be expected that it would. Old Liners Point to Past. Maryland has played some good games at Yale and on some occasions has been very decisively whipped. Last year it lost by 30 to 6, while the year before that it won, 15 to 0. Probably ‘the greatest game Maryland has ever played anywhere was against Yale in 1923, when Yale won by 16 to 14 and Maryland missed by winning by one point when it missed a dropkick by inches in the closing moments. Mary- land made 16 first downs in the game and Yale 14. And, incidentally, Mary- land accomplished something in that game that has never been known in any other big game. In the first quarter it caught the kick- and led the ball for a touchdown the 25-yard mark ‘without losing possession of it. ~ Yale again kicked off and Maryland again carried the ball for a touchdown ‘without losing possession of it. In other words, Maryland made two touchdowns against Yale without Yale ever get! possession of the ball, a really remark- able feat. Yale right now seems to have the best ground-gaining eleven that has ever worn its colors. Gallaudet also makes a trip to play Delaware. The Kendall Greeners are expecting to put up a good battle against the school representing the Blue Hen State and think they have an even chance for victory. Baltimore Game Attracts. With only the Catholic University- Yoyola game here, it is likely that the great majority of local foot ball fol- lowers will make the journey to Balti- more o see Navy and Michigan play. Undoubtedly that should be the best contest anywhere in this section. Navy got a bad start this Fall, but scems to have struck its stride and ought to stand pretty nearly and even chance against the Michigan eleven unless the Middle Westerners go wild throwing passes as they did three years ago. While Navy is battling Michigan in + Baltimore, Army will be showing its stuff against Notre Dame. On the face of the showing of the two elevens Army ought to be a comparatively easy vic- tor, although it would not be a sur- prise if the Rockne outfit were to walk off with the long end of the score. Of course, that is going a long way, especially considering the fine record Army has made and the rather poor showing, comparatively speaking, that has been Notre Dame's. Harvard and Pennsylvania open re- lationships again. Not much impor- tance will attach to the contest from a general point of view, as both have been whipped. Yale will watch the game because of its great interest in the Harvard eleven and Cornell is sure to pay a lot of attention to Pennsylvania. The Dartmouth-Brown game, one of the big games in New England, and the big game for both schools is to be played at Hanover. Big Game at Atlanta. The biggest game in the South is that at Atlanta between Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech. Neither has been de- feated this season by any other eleven and each has a victory to its credit over a strong Northern team. Their ga;ne last year was a tie, 0-0, at Nash- ville. Other big games in the South are | between North Carolina and South Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Poly- technic Institute, Virginia Military In- stitute and Clemson, Georgia and | Florida, Alabama and Kentucky. | Washington and Lee journeys to Princeton to meet the Tiger, and should ‘r;mkeso aihgood 2 showing as any of he uthern elevens that have North this season. bt Ohio State and Iowa ought to put up just about as good a game as is| to be played in the Middle West. Both elevens are about as strong as any that have represented their respective insti- }u";lalns in yearz., bwenshlnlwn and Cali- ornia seems about the biggest setto out on the Pacific Coast. - CARNEGIE MAY ENGAGE IN COAST GRID CLASSIC LOS ANGELES, November 9 (#).—It | 1s rumored in foot ball circles that Car- negle Tech of Pittsburgh will represent the East in the annual rose bow! foot ball classic at Pasadena, Calif., January 1 next. California for some time has been rumored as the Western repre- sentative. Les B. Henry, chairman of the tournament of roses foot ball committee, asserts, however, that he has extended no invitations and that he himself does not know who would play in the ross bowl New Vear's Day. The Carnegie Tech team is unds- feated to date and holds victories over Washington and Jeflcrson and the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. It was Pittsburgn that dropped a 6-to-7 game to Stanford in, last year's rose bowl classic. Carnegie Tech has Georgetown, Notre Dame and New York University yet to THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, .

University of South Dakota. w : Navy Bolsters Attack for Michigari 'MIDDIES WILL USE STRONG BACKFIELD Pick Quartet They Feel Is Best to Represent Them This Season. NNAPOLIS, Md., November 9.— last-minute rearrangement has given the Naval Academy the strongest backfield combina- tion it has used this year, to serfd against Michigan in Baltimore to- morrow. It is one of the strongest that ever represented the institution. Gannon has been taken irom half- back and put at his old place of quar- terback, Spring and Castree have been put at the halves and Joe Clifton re- tains his position at fullback. ‘This gives the team three crack run- ners, which it has not had in any com- bination this Fall, and one of the best of line-smashing fullbacks in 190-pound Joe Clifton. The selection of this backfield indi- cates that Ingram will not follow the | policy of starting the game .with a sec- | ond ‘combination, as he has frequently {done, but will mass his offensive | strength at the start and try to get the jump on Michigan. | Works Well Against Penn. This policy worked well against Penn- sylvania, and only three changes were made during the course of the game. The Navy team has been notable for | the frequent substitutions it made dur- | ing most of its contests. | This backfield should be much strong- er than that which was used against Penn. In Spring, it has the fastest back in the Academy and the one most | likely to get off for a long run. He | did not play in any part of the Penn ame. It is believed that Gannon will have | more fire and dash in the quarter- | back position than either Welchel or Gannon. With Spring and Castree at the halves, his running will not be needed so much, but he will be able to occasionally run from his position, and h2 should run back punts better than any back who has been used for that purpose this year by the Navy. | Of this combination, Gannon and Castree were members of the Plebe tzam last season, and Cliftcn and Spring are playing their sccond vear on the varsity squad. Consequently, barring some- thing unforeseen, the Naval Academy will have the use of all of them again next season. ‘Though the backs who have been picked for the first combination have proved best by test, the team is by no means without reserve strength, and some of the most experienced players on | the squad may be used at a later stage. Reserve Is Plentifui. Should either of the halfbacks retire, Gannon may go to half, and the team | would have experienced quarterbacks in Welchel and Miller, or Lloyd or an- other of the substitutcs. Lloyd, both powerful and speedy, has been considered th» Navy's best back- passed re- cently by other backs, notably Spring and Castree. He would, however, relish a chance to get in the Michigan e. Joo Bauer is a player of the s type as Lloyd, but hot so big or so fast. Antrim is a good substitute for Clifton, while Kohlhas, Dale Bauer, Toth and Mauto are all good running backs, who ‘Wofford vs. Georgetown (S.

C. ‘The annual District unlimited foot ball title tussle will move one step nearer a solution Sunday when the Apaches, defending champs, meet Falace A. C. at Union League Park. Ore of the two will win the right to meet Mohawks, with the Little Indians favorites. Joe Ganey has gathered & clever squad together and recently added sev- eral former college stars, adding weight and experience to his team. Without these stars Palacians turned back Quan- tico Marine Post team, 19 to 0, and a week later drubbed Reina Mercedes of Annapolis, 28 to 0. Wiih an even stronger eleven now, it appears that the Apaches may have an cven tougher struggle than they had in downing Northerns. Mohawk Preps retain the lead in Capital City League 150-pound’division as the result of a ruling made last night by league qfficials in disallowing a pro- test filed by Janney A. C. relative to a game played October 28 between the two teams. Fields, officials and starting times for league games Sunday were announced as follows: 150-POUND CLASS.
