THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT ELEVENS INTHREE CLASHES Maryland and Gallaudet toi Play Here—Georgetown Visits Fordham. BY H. C. BYRD. rHILE the foot ball season is / almost ended, and in many ssctions elevens are resttng this week in preparation for | their big Thanksgiving day | battles, severai of the contesis that are | scheduled Saturday locm up in the sea- scn's list os red. beacons on a foggy night Games are scheduled that are great simply because of olti rivalry and color that are built around them, while oth-~ ers are great due to the exceptional quality of play they have shown in this particular year. Of the former, the struggles between Yale and Harvard in the East and between Stanford and California in the West lead, while cf the latter thc meeting of New York . University and Carnegie Tech at Pitis- burgh stands out. Local Elevens Prepare. Local clevens are getting ready for | their games Saturday, Maryland for ‘Washington and Lee, Gallaudet for Bridgewater and Georgetown for Ford- | ham. The first two are to bs played | _ here and the Jast at New York. Each | contest is likely to be well played and | «close, unless it happens that George- | town gets a good margin on Fordham. | Washington and Lee and Maryland, linless something unexpacted happe ought to g> through a close, hard an wwell played game.at Clark Griffith's | Stadium. The Generals have had the edge on Maryland for four consecutive | years. and for the last three years have | won by about as bare margins as thay | could. | The game Saturday scems to be in prospest just about the, same kind as | , the others, pretty close to an even bet. | * In all probability the close of th2 game Saturday will find the two elevens | * separated in scores by a very small _ margin. Both play much the same | kind of a game, with open work pre- | deminating. . Each team has in its backfield men who can go cnce they get under way, | »nd, 25 a whole, Washington and Lee is said to have just about as good a guartet as usually are found behind any | Southern lin | “The Maryland eleven has played | good foot ball in all its games this year | 2nd Washinglon end Lee has done| 2bout the same thing. G. U. Expects Battle. [ Georgetown expects ‘to heat Ford- | $®am, though it looks for & much harder | game than it got from the Gothamites Jast season. The team is in good shapz and o%d be just as good as it was against’ West Virginia. Gallaudet is working hard to wind | s mp its season with- a ‘victory and it probably will do‘so. The Kendall| . Greeners apparently have the margin ,ton the eleven they are to play, as| Bridgewater has done nothing to in-| dicate that it ought to defeat the local school. . | ! For Easterners in general, and New | ‘Englanders in particular, the Yale- gyHarvard game is the biggest of the day. Something attaches to that cont which gives it a place in foot ball an- nuls that no other contest holds. all probalitity it is “the” game of the | year for the greatest body of men that any game holds special interest for, and | _the public generally from coast to coast | will want 10 know its result. No other | game, with the Army-Navy game ex- cepted, ever has held such general in- “terest year after year, no matter what | the caliber of the teams and no mat- ter what their previous record. Out on the West Coast the Stanford- | California game holds for that section just about what the Yale-Harvard gam> | holds for ths East. Its result means | the success ot failure of the season, and most_of -the enérgy and effort of both squads and their coaclies are directed during the entire Fall with the idea of | winning the annual game; the Satur- | day before. Thanksgiving day. It is Stanford for California and California for Stanford as the highest aim of their | foot ball seasons. That game at Pittsburgh between | Carneigie Tech and New York Univer- sity probably will bring together on the | same fleld about as many good foot ball players as have been on one field | in many a day. - No other elevens in| the country -are made up of better materfal. and their clash should be noteworthy from that view alone. But| both are well coached and both repre- | “sent foot ball about as well as it is played anywhere. | If Carnegie Tech defeats New York | University “there is not much doubt| that it will be given ecredit for having | “'the best eleven of the year. ! At _Philadelphia and at West Point | the Navy and Army meet strong op- | ,ponents, the former ‘Princeton and the | Jatter Nebra Navy hopes to make | up for its somewhat checkered season | *- by moving Princeton out of its path, and if the Annapolis folks can ascom- plish a victory over the Tiger they un- | doubtedly will add a good deal to their | “prestige. And the Army, if it defeats | Nebraska, will add another page to its brillfant record, because no eleven has this year been able to humble the Lin- | coln “school. ~ Pittsburgh cams closest to it when it played a 0-to-0 tie last | week. Both:Army and Navy are against | real opponents and if they win will de- | o all the credit they are certain to | get. Up at Easton another game between old rivals will take place when Lehigh | meets Lafayette. To both schools the game means everything, as far as foot bell is concerned. If Lehigh is victor | Lafayette will feel its scason is a failure, and vice versa.

FULLERTON, Jr. Associated Press Gports Writer. EW YORK, November 22.—No matter what has happened in the Yale Bowl or Harvard Sta- dium through the season, the annual Yale-Harvard clash is an outstanding gridiron event of the Saturday on which it is played. Tra- dition, extending back to- 1875, has made it that, and the same tradition will bring a capacity crowd to the bowl Saturday for the game despite the re- verses each team .has suffered this season. ‘The sons of Eli have taken the short end of the -score three times, from Army, Maryland and Princeton, while | John Harvard has bowed to Army and | Pennsylvania and played a drab score- less tie with Holy Cross last Saturday. However, it is in the books that it will be a close, hard-fought game, as it al- ways has been, and the big gam2 of the week. Princeton, defying tradition to play Navy a week after the Yale game, m: provide something to detract some in- terest from the Yale-Harvard struggle. | The Tigers and Midshipmen have pul on a good many hot midseason clashes, and there is no indication that the change in date will affect the game ap- Princeton still is undefeated, of the difficulties of taking on a team as strong as Navy a week after the traditional season's-end battle. So far as Eastern or national cham- plonship honors are concerned, Tech and New York University at Pittsburgh heads the list. With lines of almost equal strength the outcome of the battle seems to have narrowed down to the questions of whether Car- negie can maintain th> high competi- tive pitch that enabled it to score so decisively over Notre Dame and wheth- er N. Y. U. can shake Ken Strong free | How Notre Dame Pass Beat Navy i BY SOL METZGER. When a coach 1s pushed for ma- terial all his inventive gznius comes to the front. That alone saved Notre Dame from another defeat or two this Fall. It's going to prove its big stock in trade when the Fighting Irith take on .Southern California’s big team at Los An- geles December 1. Perhaps Rockne's greatest play of the current season was the one that gave Notre Dame its one touchdown victory over ths Navy before the 121,000 that viewed this game. The chance came near the end, when a Navy punt went wrong: This for- ward pass finally closed the argu- ment. Aff the shift to the right the ball was passad to No. 5 back and the play began, as do most of Rockne’s wide runs, as an end run, backs Nos. 2, 3 d 4 apparently leading the runner, but No. 3 alone took the opposing end, the other two streaming down field appar- ently for a pass. No. 5 played the pass perfectly. He ran deep to the right and kept Jooking to the right. Suddenly he turned when at top speed and whipped a diagonal pass back to his No. 6 end. The latter had waited a moment on the lins until the back on that side had fallen for the faks run. Then he beat it as shown in ths diagram and caught the pass in the end zone.

HICAGO, November 22 (#).— The upset cycle of the Big Tens foot ball championship race points toward a Min- nesota triumph over Wiscon- sin Saturday. For foyr successive weeks, the cycle has grown until now it .is regarded by the more superstitious prognosticators s the “sure dope.” Starting with October 27, the favored team in the most important game of each week's schedule has been defeated. On that date, Iowa astounded even its | Cos own supporters by defeating Minnesota, 7 to 6, at Iowa City. A week later, Michigan,” which hadn’t won a game all season, upset the Illinois, 1927 champlons, 3 to 0. On November 10, Iowa again scored the upset by routing Ohlo State, 14 to 7, and to complete the latest link in the cycle, Wisconsin beat Iowa last Saturday, 13 to 0, when about one critic out of twenty believed it possible. This week Wisconsin is the expert's choice to defeat Minnesota, a powerful team which was pushed out of the race /by a pair of one-point defeats by Iowa and Northwestern. In this game the upset cycle has a chance to finish. with a perfect, record. Reports, from the Badger training | sector, however, indicate the Wisconsin team is in top form for the game. In a long defensive scrimmage last night, the Badgers stopped Minnesota’s plays through the line in a fashion pleasin even to “Gloomy Glen” Thistlethwaite. Coach Thistlethwaite indicated he would use Miller at center, Connor and Kresky at guards, Capt. Wagner and Binish at tackles, and Gantenbein and Warren at ends in.the game. Minnesota stressed a defense against Wisconsin’s passing attack in its last hard workout, but Coach Clarence Spears seemed far from satisfied.

Both teams have found the aerial route their best medium of at- tack and have been drilling on that offense this week. Dartmouth left for Chicago last night. Ohio State may start a revised line- up against Illinois Saturday in an at- tempt to counter the Illini style of play. The contemplated changes would’ put Dick Larkins, at center in place of Barratt, Ted Hieronymous in Larkins’ old place at right tackle, Fouch at quarterback instead of Holman, who would be at left half in place of Eby, and Kruskamp at fullback instead of ry. Illinois’ line-up seems to be definitely decided and the same men who trounced Chicago last week are expected to start against the Buckeyes. The Illini held their last strenuous workout of the sea- son last night and are in splendid physical condition. With both schools boasting danger- ous elevens, interest in the thirty-first reaewal of the Purdue-Indiana game is greater than ever and all reserved seats have been sold.
