28 SP GeQrgetown and Maryland Figure in Homecoming.Grid Games Here This ORTS. WEST VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA TO FURNISH OPPOSITION Both Contests Sure to Be Much Interest—Sy Foot Ball to BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN and Maryland have their homecoming foot ball games this week, the for- mer with West Virginia as its opponent and the latter with Virginia. Two of the best contests of the year are certain and it is unfor: tunate, indeed, that both -are to take place the same afternoon. Both Georgetown and Maryland have been playing good foot ball from .the first time they took the fleld in Sep- tember, and, while Virginia has not been as consistently as strong as West Virginia, it still has back of it in its tle game with Princeton an indication great potential power. O’Judmpgn & basis of their seasons 2s a whole, the Georgetown-West Vir- ginia game ought to be a better exhi- bition of foot ball, but whether or not it will be is & question. Georgetown has consistently shown greater strength ihis season than Maryland, but it is doubtful if Georgetown has played any better foot ball than Maryland showed | last week in beating Yale. | In fact. no matter which game thc; average follower of the gridiron elects to watch, whether to go out to Clark | | riffith Stadium to watch Georgetown | Snd ‘West Virginia in what is sure to| be & great battle, or to make the trip to College Park to see Maryland andi virginia in_their annual struggle, there | is not likely to be much in either to t. dlgzopl%‘?wwn has a fine foot ball team, one that plays spectacular foot ball. And in any game in w':mh tnu ;%per:;? may be depended on to puf ;‘tmuyle before it admits defeat. And West Virginia is as its victories over Pittsburgh and Oklahoma attest. Last year and the year before Georgetown and West Virginia put up great games and they are likely %o do the same thing Saturday. Maryland and Virginia have taken some com,estfi irginia beat Maryland eas] " in '{'!l‘llch '.h: ‘schools have en part recent ::’:wm Virginia has won twice, Mary- 1and once, and one game was tie. l,%nm should put up ames B.ti'l m’.‘ and if Virginia hits stride it \7‘ in that 0-to-0 game with Princeton | and Maryland can play -close 10 :u form of last week when it beat Yale, then there will be a lot to be remem- bered in that foot ball game. Defeat Not to Detract. Georgetown last week lost to Car- negie Tech, but that defeat should in no way detract from the interest in the game it will play with West Virginia. As a matter of fact, Georgetown could hardly hope to be as good last week as it was against New York as the kind of game the Blue and Gray played against N. Y. U. takes out of a team sbout all it has in it. In other words, the fact that Georgetown lost to je Tech does not inminmy. indicate weakness in Georgetown so much l& it shows strength in the Pitts- burg ven. Bar d does not have potentially as powerful a team as Yale, but it caught Yale on one of those days when Yale was looking for something eds! than it found; while d, in turn, played the best foot ball it hag shown this year. It simply outfought, out- rushed and outpassed. the Dark Blue and won becapse it was, for the day at. least, the better éleven. Vot bt With the exception of two or threc mechanical mistakes, such as a. fumble and & muffed forward pass, and with the T exgeption of about two min- utes fn the fourth quarter, when one of tackies was suckered completely by an Yale used, ‘no more effoetive foot ‘could'be desired than the Old Liners.- and &f}eorwwn lost md m Tech should not make Maryland's game this week one bit more attractive than the Ome Georgetown is to play with West Visginia. Both games ought to be well played, and, if anything, as faf as.the real driving, slambang type of Virginia affair. Both contests ought to be well worth wal , and nelther s likely to lack Sl st o i ve & eve: goes make up foot hg. Neotre Dame won from Army, and, generally speaking, there is no particu- lar reasont why it should not have done so. Im all probability the South Bend eleven had in its line-up just about as good men as wore the Army colors, and evel knows what kind of a coach R is. Notre Dame always has a squad good enough to make it a for- ‘midable factor in any contest in which it plays, and good e: to stand at len‘sl & fair chance of ing. . won, earler in the year it defeated Southern Methodist University ih" a close, hard game, and it could not be expected to keep up that kind of thing indefinitely. Any school . that meets teams in its own class week after week llsllerm to get bumped off sooner or Army has a fine squad, but it does ot have « superhuman squad, but the greatest little game in Amarica seems to be in very gleeful utterances over the toppling of a champion. There is no place in the 'world where people pull for the underdog as they do in this {:fl:lr eof v:chue) n‘% u;g t.hena i8 no place vl ry for the underdog is so hailed and greeted. % Washington and Lee scored two | touchdowns on Princeton, but lost by | four touchdovns against that two. | The fact that the Generals did get two | touchdowns, r.hou{‘h. is indication of | their real strength, because no other | clevens this season has been able to register 5o effectively against the Tigers. In fact, Ohio State 5 tn> only .other | school that has scored & touchdown on | Princeton, and it was able to register. |, but once. Virginia took a beating at the hands 3 of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Charlottesville' school played good ball, but got bad breaks. Two of the touchdowns made against. it might | have been avoided under ordinary cir- | mxpps!;nces. £ d eake ran 65 yards for a touchdown | after receiving a punt, and V. P. 1. got | one of its other two scoras when time | was taken out on the 2-foot line with | only five seconds left to play. B | Nebraska seems to have about the best team in the Middle West, with the | possible exception of Iowa. coln School has one of the strongest elevens anywhere physically, and the fact that the men wear bright red jerseys does not minimize their stature. ‘The team has played consistently good foot ball and beaten all -elevens that it has faced by good scores, with the exception of Syracuse, from which it won by only one point, 7 to 6. Vanderbilt took a bumping at the “whands of Georgla Tech, and the latter Just about demonstrated that it has as good if not the best team in the South. It left no doubt about its superiority over Vanderbilt, and from start to fin: ish was the better eleven. Vanderbilt's :ma broke down completely against The | foot | Well Played and to Hold pectacular Type of Be on Tap. the Tech defense, and Vanderbilt's de- fense just could not stop the plunges of Mizzel and Thomson. It may have been the game on which the Southern championship will- hinge. One of the surprises of the day in the South was the trimming Georgia received at the hands of Florida. The Florida eleven was known to be strong, but it was not thought it was good enough to whip the Crackers by a big margin. Just a short while ago it was barely able to defeat North Carolin: State by a. single touchdown. In dentally, Florida Is under a new coach- ing system this Fall. Charley Bachman, who was at Kansas for a number of years, is in charge, having succeeded Tom Sebring. And, further, it might be mentioned that Florida has just about as good material as any school, and has in Crabtree an exceptionally clever back. Navy and Michigan played a 6-to-6 tie in Baltimore that did not reflect any special credit on either eleven. Both missed opportunities to score when a score meant the game. The defensive work of both elevens was far superior to that of the offense. Neither team dis- | played anything like the ability shown in the games in which they have pre- viously met. George Washington went down before a Penn State avalanche by 50 to 0. The ' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, WHEELING A. Buff and Blue went into the contest in a crippled condition, and could hardly have expected anything other than the defeat it received. This week the down- town eleven meets American University, and unless something happens will break its string of defeats. Pennsylvania came back again with another victory, this time winning from Harvard. So well did Penn play against the Crimson that one writer declared it'was the best and smoothest working eleven he had seen this year. The same writer was of the opinion that Harvard's defense is splendid, but its offense al- most negligible. ‘West Virginia, which meets George- town this week, lambasted the Okla. homa Aggies by 32 to 6. The middle western eleven, while big, evidently did not show & deal of foot ball. West Virginia, though, has been play- ing fine foot ball since it's defeat early in the year by Davis Elkins, and any team that is not topnotch is not go- ing to get very far against it. * North Carolina played a 0 to 0 game with South ‘Carolina and Virgina Mili- tary Institute lost to Clemson by 13 to 0. Other games of special note in the South were those in which Louisi- ana State whipped Mississippi, and Alabama trimmed Kentucky. Besides Towa, Wisconsin and Min- nesota were the outstanding elevens in the Western Conference. The for- mer gave Chicago a beating by a big margin, while the latter took Indiana into camp after a struggle, ~North- western also won from one of the strong teams ‘'when it beat Purdue. Y et | NAVY TEAM TO PLAY BUCKEYES NEXT YEAR - ANNAPOLIS, November 12.—Navy will meet Ohio State in foot ball in- stead of- Michigan next Fall, it was an- nounced today. The game will be play- ed. at. Columbus. and probably will be the final match on the Navy schedule unless the Army game is renewed. There is a strong feeling in Navy circles here that the game with the West Pointers may be revived next Fall and a date on the Middies’ schedule has been left open for the contest.

A _conference WESTERN GRID TEAM Business and Western High gridders were getting in final licks today for their public high school title game to- morrow -+ in - Central High School Stadium. Based on showings of the teams to date, it should be a real battle. Business has yet to win in three starts and Western has lost both its series games. The losing team probably will finish in last place in the league race. It will be Business’ last series game, while Western will play its final match against Central November 20 in the series final. Overshadowing all schoolboy grid games here this week, however, is the battle between Eastern and Tech Pri- day in Central Stadium, which will de- cide the public high crown. Both the Lincoln Parkers and the Maroon and Gray have won three games in as many starts and are tied for the series lead. By virtue of the decisiveness of its vic- tcries over teams which Eastern has barely beaten, Tech is a heavy favorite to win Friday. Virginia Due to For Maryland UNIVERSITY, Va.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 12.— Anyone wishing to see a great eleven had better take a good look at that of Iowa University. The boys coached by Burt Ingwersen beat Ohio State by as fine a display of power and speed as is likely to be .seen on any field. When Iowa won some of its earlier. victories there was a disposition to at- tribute a good part of its success to the breaks of the game. Excuses were made for rivel elevens. Their injuries and mental attiudes were prominently mentioned. The chances are that Iowa has won all of its games this season because it was strictly the better team. After watching Iowa and Ohio play, one has the impression that Wilce's material has been overestimated and Ingwersen's underestimated. here is no doubt that the Prince- ton game took a lot out of the Ohio players, both physically and mentally and that Iowa came to the contest in better all aréund condition, but it i hard to believe that the team .the State of tall corn would not have won anyhow. ’ 4 . Buckeyes are Clever. Ohio has a fine quarterback Holmon—he looks more like a half- back—a grand interfering back in Kriss, a fast back in Eby, a splendid end in Fesle and a good end in Surina. It has good’linemen in Ujheli, Bar- rett and Raskowsky, but none of these nll'x’ree showed himself a really great player. The best tackle on the fleld was Schleusner of Iowa and the best guard was Westra of Iowa, a fine man to lead interference and a strong man on de- fense. Roberts, the other Iowa guard, is dllm efficient. end. 1n the backfield Iowa has a German- | Detx Dane in Armil, a Syrian in Farroh, a quarterblood fair and blue-eyed Indian | New, ¥o Georgia Tech Eleven Is Best In South in Number of Years in McLain, and Glassgow—who s a bear. This Glassgow is one of the best backs of the year. He is a dark-haired lad, who stands five feet nine and whose weight is given as 160 pounds. Wher. he plunges through a line he wzl&m a couple of tons. He is a hard, swift and shifty runner, difficult to tackle and to hold. He picks his open- ings quickly and goes through them like a whippet under full headway. There isn't a doubt that he is aided by such interferers as McLain and Westa, he also is sold on the axiom that the Lord helps those who help themselves. He cap run, pass and tackle with the best. .McLain runs like & bull, fairly straight up with his knees churning high. Some one once told me that he would stop if he was hit, but he seems to do most of his stopping five yards or more behind the other fel- jow's line. If he hits a tackler, he hurts him. Ingwersen said that when McLain'got to running hard in prac- tice, he would not permit the scrub to tackle him for fear too many of them would be laid out. The spirit of the Towa team may be judged by the manner of its second touchdown. It had made its first score at the very close of the first half. In the third quarter Holman, practically unaided, had carried the hall across for Ohio. When Barratt kicked the goal the count was 7 to 7. Team Votes on Piay. With less than two minutes left to go in the last quarter, Iowa had the all within a yard and a half of the Ohio goal line, and it was fourth down. Under these circumstances, Ingwersen sent in Irving Nelson of Omaha, a spe- clalist who 't missed a goal this of Virginians - who- scor- | season, and who goes in, does his stuff, and goes out. Be Sironger Game Saturday Paired with Flippin at end will be Dick Turner, a product of Tech High of Washington, who played with and against several Maryland regulars dur- ing his high school days. Virginia can boast of two fine flankmen In these men. Lefty Close, the star Cavalier half- back who was hurt in the V. M. I. game, has not been in uniform recently, but he may report for duty in time to see action against the Old Liners. The same is true of Shorty Haden, who was hurt in practice just after the Princeton contest. Many Virginia sup&orum are expect- ed-to be in the special Cavalier section in the new College Park stands. A spe- clal train probably will take students and supporters in Charlottsville up to Washington on the morning of the game. College Park is the nearest the Vir- ginia team has come to playing in the District of Columbia since the last Vir- ginia-Georgetown game back in 1913. But the Maryland school is so close to In | urday and Sunds; Reedquist is a good | ‘The ball was in front of the post and the game hung on the result of the next play. Nelson went back into kicking position and held out “is hands, but the ball went to McLain, who took it over by a matter of inches. This was not rehearsed strategy. When Nelson came in, the team huddled, took a vote and decided to try for the touchdown. Then Nelson was permitted to boot the ball over the bar for the extra point. Iowa deserved its victory. It made 17 first downs to Ohio's 6, and it. was only the fine fighting fnt by a bat- tered and less power! eleven which kept the score from being more unequal. Iowa has a grand team.

With three big tilts each remaining, this unbeaten and untied set are dead- locked with four conference triumphs aplece, while they also have bowled over all outside opposition. Two others xe- main unwhipped in the conference title race—Virginia Poly's pony express and the Tigers of Louisiana State—but both have dropped before outside opposition. Blacksburg Engineers are pounding along at the heels of the leaders, turn=- ing in a 20-to-0 victory over Virginia for their third conference victory, while the Bengals of Baton Rouge made it two in the loop by turning back the University of Mississippi, 19 to 6. Tornado Blows Hard. It was the Tornado-Vanderbilt game, however, that attracted the eyes of the South. The decisive defeat adminis- tered the hitherto unbeaten Commo- dores stunned the 27,000 who saw the battle of Grant Field. Warner Mizell, Stumpy Thomason, Lumpkin and Mates ran_wild to trounce the men of Dan McGugin, 19 to 7, outplaying the Com- modores at every turn. Entering the game with a tie for Conference leadership, _ Vanderbilt fought hard to stave off a blight of its title hopes, but only" its" deterniination saved the gold and black team from a rout. Mizell outpunted Armistead and Gibson. The Tornado backs gained 395 yards against 113 by Vandy, Mizell | checking In 201 yards alone. He car- ried the ball only 33 times. Lumpkin dashed off 102 yards and Thomason crashed through with 66. And the fea- ture of Stumpy’s gaining was in the fact that he hit the Commodore line for | all of his yardage. Capt. Jimmy Armistead led the Vanderbilt ground gainers with a meager 45 yards. Tech made 17 first downs to four for the Commodores. Interest approaching the Tornado- Commodore tilt was to be found. at. Savannah, where the Florida Alligators were knocking the defeated column. Fourteen thousand saw Bethea, Crab- tres, Brumbaugh and Mates travel to a 26-t0-6 victory over the Athenians. While the teams showed about the same | power in a glance at first downs, the superifority came in passing and run- ning with Cannonball Clyde Crabtree in the leading role. Once, this Crabtree hauled around end from his 16-yard line and ran to a touchdown while he also hurled a pass to Brumbaugh in the last_ period for another.

By the Associated Press. ‘The national list of undefeated foot ball teams has dwindled to 24. Of these only 11 have perfect records, all the others having suffered one or more ties. Tennessee's great Southern Confer- ence eleven holds the lead so far as games won and lost and points are concerned. Florida has rolled up more points than its conference rival, but Tennessee has won one more game. Of the 24 unbeaten teams, nine are in the East; eight in the Midwest; five in the South; one in the Rocky Mountain district, and one on the Pa- cific coast. The South, however, leads in ‘the number of perfect records with five. The Midwest has four in this class and the East two. The leading undefeated teams follow: el ) ] Bas: Tennessee ...

The squad will assemble at French’s sport store, 424 Ninth street, at 6:15 o'clock. SEASON PROVING TOUGH ON FOOT BALL EXPERTS land to beat Yale, for example, would be just about like pick- ing the Yale base ball team to beat the Yankees. Yet, Maryland won. Notre Dame always has a chance against the Army. The South Bend boys seem to save their best efforts for the West Pointers. Yet, on their sea- son’s showing, the Army was ihe logical favorite. Pennsylvania showed more at Cam- bridge than it has at any time this vear. It made the undoubtedly power ful Harvard outfit look slow and clumsy, but who would have supposed that St. Bonaventure and Johns Hopkins would have made the showing they did against Cornell and Columbia? And, who would have thought that Florida would beat Georgla so badly? Florida, itself, didn't expect any such outcome. Among the unbeaten teams left are Iowa, Wisconsin, Carnegle, Ohio Wes-~ leyan, Southern California, Florida, De- trolt, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Nebraska. = Next Saturday Iowa meets Wisconsin, Georgia Tech plays Alabama, Florida plays Clemson, Nebraska plays Pittsburgh, Tennessee plays Vanderbilt THIS is a weird and wonderful foot ball season. To pick Mary- | and Carnegie tackles Notre Dame at South Bend, where the fighting Irish haven't lost a game since Rockne has been coaching. The ranks of the un- defeated are bound to grow still thinner. Alertness Big Factor. Speed, alertness and the ability to kick goals counted on Saturday as it has all during the season. Close fol- lowing of the ball and reco of rlsmbln won for Penn and Mai orthwestern, Columbia and lane won by a single point. A team should be able to hold onto the ball. It should be able to get a goal after touchdown; yet, a coach complained the other day that the present complicated game required so much instructions in such a limited period that there was little time left to spend on fundamentals. Yet, that the present style of play is what makes foot ball so popular is easily demonstrated. There isn't a corner of the country where fine games are not Pllyed every Saturday. The growth of foot ball and the increased interest the sport n in has and, | 8% phenomenal, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Middle West. Big Ten Conference teams have stands which will seat anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 spectators. officials say that at one Ohio State g;r;x‘;o the paid admissions ran over On October 13 the Notre Dame-Navy game drew 110,000, the Chicago-Iowa game drew 40,000 and the Northwest- ern-Ohlo State game drew 40,000. That is to say, on a single afternoon in Chi- cago, 190,000 spectators were out watch- ing foot ball games. Add to that the crowds at high school and preparatory school games and you will find that Chicago did pretty well for one day. Notre Dame Gets Money. Notre Dame will get $600,000 from its traveling eleven. That probably will be used in part to bulld another dor- mitory. Notre Dame believes that foot ball is a department of college life. Michigan has spent $3,500,000 in a mag- nificent athletic plant, and it has tically all come foot ball receipts. At Ann Arbor, you will find, aside from the new stadium, many foot ball and base . ball flelds, courts, separate fis meln -,?d womlen. i%e rlbx;:l. golf links, swimming pools and al t everythin else in athletic line. Ohio am{ is building on an even larger scale. They have_ great foot teams the Middle West, and why shouldn’t they have. ®At such institutions as II- linois, the freshman class must number 4,000, and the Middle West is where real rooters grow. Radio stations average 5,000 letters after each big me. The leading conference teams in the Midwest are now Iowa and Wisconsin, and that is why there is such excite- ment over next Saturday’s contest at Iowa City, which will be played in that stadium by the river bank, where the fleld is under water in Spring floods, but where they are about to build a new and larger stadium. That little town at the end of this week will be the destination of many special trains and the game will be fiercely contested before excited fans who have bet thelr shirts on the result. The Mid- dle West takes its foot ball seriously. (Copyright, 1928.) All 150-Pound Class Battles Are Won by Decisive Margins LL three games in the 150-pound division of Capital City Foot Ball League yesterday were de- cided by decisive margins, With Dellar scoring two of their touchdowns Mohawk Preps, league leaders, drubbed Yankees, 25 to 2; Jan- neys, standing second in the flag race, bumped Peerless, 19 to 0, and Mercurys trounced National, 27 to Mohawks outclassed Yankees all the way, counting two touchdowns in the first period and adding one more each in_the third and fourth sessions. Kirchmeyer grabbed a Peerless fum- ble and dashed 30 yards to score Jan- ney's first touchdown and the next two were made on plunges following sus- tained drives. Counting two of his- team’y four touchdowns and getting in some fine kicking, Wiltshire was the ace of the Mercurys’ attack, as that eleven easily outplayed Nationals.
