SPORTS. Cardinal-Colonial Foot Ball Contest Tomorrow Promises COLONIAL. STALWARTS WHO WILL OPPOSE CATHOLIC U. IN GRID TILT TOMORROW B W.U1.IS HOPEFUL OF STAGING UPSET But Few Games Will Remain to Be Played Following Schedule for Holiday. C row afternoon at Brookland with their annual Thanksgiv- tng day game. Both schools have had more or less checkered seasons, although Catholic U. has by far the better record. Catholic University has played good foot ball and has won from some strong teams, while George Washington got its only victory so far 10 days ago. when it de- feated American University. Out at Brookland people are looking for their team to win. They argue that their eleven has not really played bad foot ball in any of its games, though weakness in its line has caused it to meet defeat George Washington feels it has an eleven that may do much betier than anybody expects it to, and it is on the possibility of it rising to heights it has not heretofore reached this season and playing an inspired game that the Buff and Blue bases hopes of victory. Coach McAuliffe of Catholic Univers- ity and Coach Crum of George Wash- ington both have labored under great handicaps all year in the matter of material. McAuliffe has had a weak line behind, while an exceptionally good backfield has been performing. The result has been that McAuliffe has won | those games in which his line has not | been so completly outplayed as to have his backfield smothered. Coach has had an exceptional list of most of them being incurred the year in three hard games that his team had in a row. Since that George Washington never has had its full strength in any contest. Both teams are giving over their ef- forts entirely to their attempts to get in shape to make the best showing possible tomorrow. Catholic University is working to make good the advantage it seems to hold and George Washing- ton to do something that will make amends for its poor season thus far. Both undoubtedly will be determined to make good and it is more than pos- sible that a far better foot ball game may be played at Brookland than the records of the teams might seem to indicate as probable. George Washington and Catholic Uni- versity have built up a good deal of rivalry since they began playing six vears ago. and students of the two schools will be out in force. George ‘Washington students especially have at- tended that game in the last few years in greater numbers than they have at- tended any other that their team has played. Thanksgiving day for many years was the biggest foot ball day in Washington. Prior to 1908 George Washington and | Georgetown played the big game of the year on turkey day, and Georgetown Field used to be crowded to its capacity. | Of late years the Buff and Blue has| been trying to build up a Thanksgiving | day contest of similar interest with Catholic University, and last Thanks- giving the attendance was so good that it was evident real results were being got. It now remains for students of the downtown institution to show that they can support their team when it does not have such a good record as it had in 1927. Tomorrow's games, with one or two exceptions, wind up the season every- where. Saturday two contests are listed, one between Army and Stanford at New York, the other at Boston be- tween Boston College and Holy Cross. Several games are to be played Decem- ber 8. The biggest of the remaining contests, though, are those between Army and Stanford Saturday, and be- tween Notre Dame and Southern Cali- fornia at Los Angeles December 8. Every eleven in the South Atlantic tion, except Georgetown, North ‘arolina University and Duke Univer- sity, which meet December 8, closes its season tomorrow. Virgina and North Carolina meet at Charlottesville in their final, while Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tute and Virginia Military Institute face at Roanoke. The third time-honored game in this section is that between Maryland and Hopkins, in Baltimore. All these contests have been played for many years and are chiefly important because of the great rivalries developed and because of the traditions built up around them. Georgetown goes to Detroit for its contest with that unbeaten eleven, and the Blue and Gray believes it has near- ly an even chance for victory, despite the fact that it has two good backs out of the game with injuries. Duplin has a broken leg and Bozek also has a prop so badly wrenched that it will be impossible for him to play. Headlining the big games in the East tomorrow is that between Cornell and Pennsylvania. The Ithaca eleven has done nothing this season to indicate it has such strength as has been shown by Penn, but Dobie probably is making every effort to devise ways and means of stopping the Quakers from gaining ground. Cornell may make a much be{!er showing than anybody antici- pates. Two games are to be played in New York City, Columbia being scheduled to face Syracuse and New York Uni- versity to entertain the Oregon Agri- cultural College. Syracuse started its season as if it were going to do great | things, but has slumped in the last four weeks. Columbia has only a fair team. New York U. probably will not be near s0 good against the Westerners as they | :‘ere against Carnegie Tech last Satur- ay. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and George Washington wind up their foot ball seasons tomor- Southern California_and Oregon play the big game on the Pacific Coast, with ‘Washington State and Washington University having the next best contest. Several old rivalries will be fought ! out in the far South. Texas A. and M. and Texas University meet in their annual fracas, as do Louisiana State | and Tulane. Vanderbilt and Sewanee | are due to hook up, and so are Ken- | tucky and Tennessee, Georgia Tech and | Auburn. Washington and Lee is at| Jacksonville for its game with Florida. About the only one of these games in which one team seems completely to | outclass the other is that between | Vanderbilt and Sewanee, in which Van- derbilt seems to be by far the stronger eleven. JOWA ELEVEN “AWARDED” BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP IOWA CITY, Towa, November 28 (#). ~—The University of Towa foot ball team was awarded the title of Western Con- ference champions yesterday under the rating system devised by Prof. Frank G. Dickinson of the University of Ilinois. Although Illinois won the champion- sh.p on a percentage basis, Prof. Dick- inson explained that Illinois played no team which finished higher than fifth mn the Big Ten standings. Iowa, he said, was entitled to championship recognition by virtue of its record against first downed opponents. In presenting the Jack Rissman trophy to the Iowans, Prof. Dickinson gaid no team should claim a foot ball championship until it had demonstrated “it was better than the rest” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1928.7 Base CLAPPER- VIRGINIA PRIMED FORITS OLD FOE Injured Cavaliers Are Back for Annual Game With North Carolina. BY FRANK H. FULLER, Associated Press Staff Writer. HARLOTTESVILLE, Va, No- vember 28.—Earle Neale'’s re- team had only a light muscle- limbering workout today before the Thanksgiving battle with North Carolina. The last hard practice of the season was concluded late yesterday and the Cavaliers pronounced in fine fettle for the fray. With the President of the United States and the Governors of North Carolina and _Virginia cxpected as guests, the Tar Heels and Cavaliers will take the field at 2:30 tomorrow after- noon. Every available bit of space has ben utilized with bleachers to care for a crowd of more than 20,000. Virginia lined up in the final scrim- mage with Flippin and Turner at ends, Capt. Luke and Debutts at tackles, Mot~ ley and Day at guards, Taylor in center, Sloan at quarterback, Close and Lewy at_halfbacks and Faulconer at fullback. This veteran aggregation which has not played together since early in the season worked well, but Coach Neale did not take any more chances with injuries. Motley and Close, not entirely recov- ered from injuries, were taken out after a short workout and Austin and Kami- ner sent in for relief. Symington, playing his last year, and Harris, who has cne more year on the squad, are still on crutches and will not be able to get into the contest. Students Are Excited. The excitement on the campus grew as the day for the game drew nearer. Students eagerly scanned newspapers telling of the Tar Heel success in prac- tice against the Carolina freshman team. They were encouraged by the way in which their own squad broke up the air attack of the reserves on Monday and Tuesday, minimizing the danger of a Carolina victory by the aerial route. An interesting feature of the game will be the battle of brains between Wyrick, diminutive field general of the ‘Tarheels, and Sloan, the Virginia quar- terback. Wyrick has contributed much to the success of the Carolina attack, while Sloan, especially since injuries, seriously crippled the Cavalier squad, has been the directing genius of attack and defense. Sloan has done every- thing from calling signals to punting, throwing the majority of tha passes, receiving some of them and running with the ball as well. The contest, the 335rd between the two institutions, promises to be the most colorful in their history. A special box has been arranged for President Cool- idge and Mrs. Coolidge, Gov. McLean, Gov. Byrd and President Chase of juvenated Virginia foot ball|against the Quantico Marines, were to SAILOR GRID TEAM HERE FOR CONTEST Newport Squad to Train for Clash With Marines at Griffith Stadium.

F. M. Hughes, head coach of the Sailors, has announced his proteges are in good shape for the battle. While the Tars are readying today for the game here, the Marines were getting set for their Thanksgiving day battle against Dayton University tomor- row in the Ohio city. In Dayton the Leathernecks will be facing an eleven which held the un- beaten Detroit University team to a single touchdown. The game is certain to give the Gyrenes all the practice they need for the clash with the Sailors, and then some It is quite a job for any foot ball team to play two games in three days, but the Marines have done It before and successfully. Marines will reach this city Friday noon and will have a light drrl that afternoon. ‘Tickets for the President’s Cup game have been placed on sale at Spalding's, 1338 G street, and they may also be had in rooms 3010 and 3608, New Navy Building.

In Detroit University’s foot ball eleven, which it will engage Saturday on Dinan Field in that city, George- town will stack up against a team which is unbeaten and untied this season and which since early in the 1927 campaign has won 14 consecutive victorfes. It will be the Hoyas' final game of the campaign. After falling before the Army and | Notre Dame in hard-fought battles in October of last year, Detroit began the winning streak which is still unbroken and which included such stalwart vic- times as Carnegle Tech, Fordham, Michigan State, Loyola of the South, South Dakota, Haskell Indians and St. Louis. Elevens which have succumbed to Detroit thus far this season and the scores of the games follow: De Pauw, 39 to 19; Tulsa University, 19 to 14; Loyola, 27 to 0; Dayton, 7 to 0; St. Louis, 38 to 0; Michigan State, 39 to 0, and Fordham, 13 to 0. A total of 182 points has been piled up by De- troit, against 33 for its opponents. “Cowboy” Connell, Detroit’s right halfback, who won the distinction of being chosen captain at the end of his first year on the varsity and was re- elected captain for 1928, is at present one of the leading scorers in the coun- try, with 105 points to his credit. Lloyd Brazil is the other ace of the team's backfield. Saturday's meeting will be the fourth between Detroit and Georgetown. In 1919 Detroit won the first match, 13 to 6. Georgetown was the victor in 1925 and 1926, by 24 to 0 and 19 to 0, respectively. Detroit will be striving to even the slate Saturday. Quite a delegation of Georgetown alumni from Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland have reserved seats for the game. The Michigan Varsity foot ball squad and its coaches will also be pres- ent. There will be music by the Uni- versity of Detroit Band and that of the University of Michigan, which will pinch hit for the Georgetown Band. Detroit's probable line-up will in- clude Phelan, left end; Long, left tackle; Ruhlin, left guard; Lardner, center; O'Halloran, right guard; Ryan, right tackle; Goodnow, right end; Va- chon, quarterback; Brazil, left halfback; Capt. Connell, right halfback, and Ma- loney, fullback.

BLACKSBURG, Va., November 28.— Finishing touches on the Virginia Tech style of foot ball to be used against Virginia Military Institute at Roanoke tomorrow are being put on by the Gobblers on their home field this after- noon. Contrary to a previous announcement the Gobbler squad will spend the night here and will invade Roanoke tomor=- Tow morning. A light workout will end the training period for the classic with the Cadets. Coach Gustafsen shortened the regu- lar grind by half an hour yesterday and divided the workout between signal Eril{l‘s and demonstrations of defense actics. LEXINGTON, Va., November 28 (). —Since Monday the Cadet foot ball squad of Virginia Military Institute has been tapering off in practice sessions and today's final period will be a light workout in preparation for the annual battle with Virginia Tech tomorrow in_Roanoke. The Cadets will spend tonight on the campus and will enter Roanoke early tomorrow primed for battle. Except for Nabers, flashy halfback of last season, who was rounding into great form for tomorrow’s battle until he suffered a minor injury, which probably will keep him out of the game, the Cadet team appears to be in good condition and ready for the fray. LEXINGTON, Va., November 28 (#). With not a single full practice for reg- ulars since the Maryland game last Saturday, Washington and Lee's grid- iron outfit is today well on its way toward Jacksonville, Fla., where tomor- row it meets the University of Florida team.

He hopes to be able today to take charge of the final signal drill. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 28 (#). —After a light practice, Coach Billy Laval trotted his team to the showers yesterday and ended the workouts in preparation for the North Carolina State fray in Raleigh tomorrow.
