SPORTS. Foot Ball Games Galore Will Be Played in All Sections of Country Saturday MAJORITY OF TO DISPLAY THEIR WARES ‘West Virginia-Davis Elkins, Vanderbilt-Mississippi Aggies and Stanford-Olympia A. C. Games Big for Early Season—Others Just Openers. BY H. C. F though, onl; the exception of Pri Western Conference and Missouri scheduled to trot out their aspirants for 1929 honors. The three games that may develop some real scattered. One is out on the Pacific Coast, another in Tennessee and | the third in West Virginia. Pop Warner's Stanford eleven is to hook | up with Olympic Athletic Club of San Francisco, and last season, despite the great eleven Warner developed, the Olympic Club was victor, by 12 to 6. If the club takes down to Palo Alto an eleven as resented it a year ago, then a real foot ball game is sure to be the result, because Warner will be in much better shape, not | wanting to lose in consecutive years in such a contest. good as rep: ‘The game in West Virginia is between ‘West Virginia and Davis Elkins. It is not known that Davis Elkins has an eleven as atrong as wore its colors last season, but if it is anywhere near that good, then West Virginia will be in for another such merry afternoon as it did not enjoy in 1928. Davis Elkins went to Morgantown last season and threw | a great big monkey wrench into the ‘West Virginia machinery, the result being Davis Elkins 7 and West Virginia an unwelcome goose egg. No university rellshes particularly a defeat at the hands of a small neighboring collej and West Virginia is not an exception. When a small school does whip & big school, usually that small school comes in for a very severe drubbing the fol- lowing years, unless, of course, the small school again is able to take ample | care of itself. Baitle Is Promised. : The game in Tennessee is at Nash- ville between Vanderbilt and University of Mississippi. Reports have come out of. Nashville to the effect that Vander- bilt may not be so strong this year, but | apparently they have been so much ex- aggerated that even Dan McGugin, head coach, says that things are not nearly so bad as they at times have been painted. So it Vanderbilt is-strong, and Mis- sissippi takes to Nashville an eleven of the caliber it has been putting out the last two or three seasons, then a real struggle will take place in what is | the first game of the year between two | Southern Conference elevens. Hardly any other game packs the tentialties that the three mentioned ve. Navy, Army, Penn, Dartmoutf, Penn State, Syracuse and others that open their schedules in the East seem to have very easy opposition. Out m the Middle West it is not expected that Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Jowa or any other team will have much opposi~ tion. In the Far West and South it is unlikely that the small teams that are meeting larger ones will do much more than furnish good practice opposition. Pennsylvania plays Pranklin and Marshall, a game with which it opened its schedule last year and won by 46 to 0. Dartmouth has Norwich, an eleven it defeated in its 1928 opening by 39 to 6. This is just about the sit- uation that exists between all the elevens that are to meet, with the ex- ception of the Navy and Denison Uni- versity. It was Denison that last year went to Ann Arbor and took Michigan into camp in the opening of Michigan's schedule. It is noticeable that Denison 1s not back on Michigan's schedule, even though it may not as strong as in 1928. Navy probably hopes it is not, | because, if it is, Navy will have a rougher afternoon than it desires just at this stage of the game. N. Y. U. Is Powerful. New York University is to inaugurate what it hopes will be its greatest season with the University of Vermont as its opponent. Chick Meehan is said to ‘have another great team in the making, but however strong may be Meehan’s team, it is not likely that he will be caught in such a generously optimistic mood as he was at one time last season. ‘That story is somewhat of a digression, but worth telling right here. It seems that when Oregon State, trampled on by some Middle Western elevens and more or less unheralded in New York, came East to face New York U.'s great combination that had just cleaned up Carnegie Tech and its hopes for a na- tional championship, Meehan allowed the Oregon coach to play somewhat on his feelings. Newup::en the morning of the game published stories of iliness among the Oregon players, that several of them were about down and out with | high fever. Just a few minutes before the game started, it is told, the Oregon coach dropped in on Meehan to advise him of the state of affairs among his players and to suggest that New York University not run up to much of a score. : | Meehan, generous minded chap that | he is, readily assented and just before | the New York University players went on the field he told them, so the story | goes, to go out, make a touchdown and | then let up. The players obeyed the in- structions to the letter, the only trouble being that the Oregon aggregation was about the strongest and most able lot of sick men that ever got out of bed. ‘They might not have been able to take up their beds and walk, but they had MOTHSCHILDS . . . . 100 CORONAS . . . ... 100 PERFECTOS . . 3 for 280 ARISTOCRATS . « « « 15¢ D. LOUGHRAN, Washingten, D. C. OOT BALL almost everywhere Saturday. From coast to coast and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, elevens generally swing into action in the real beginning of what is expected to be the biggest season the gridiron has known. three games are to be played which may develop into exhibitions such as only closely contested struggles on the gridiron can develop, but interest in the sport will be general because, with nceton, Yale, Harvard and some teams in the | feid | prise, because it was felt that the Cadets BIG TEAMS BYRD. In the whole country, | Valley, virtually all schools are 1 foot ball are widely plenty of strength to take up their foot ball and carry it up and down the fleld untll New York University was decisively defeated. | ‘This story may or may not be true, but it has been told the writer as abso- lute fact, and, if so, it is dollars to doughnuts that if Meehan is told at any time this season that the opposing play- ers are ill he will take out on the field with him a couple of concrete walls and | a 16-inch gun to help stem the tide. Merely Opening Games. Down South, excepting the one game at Nashville, all the bigger schools ought to get away with their games without much difficulty. It is possible that Richmond may put up a fight against Virginia Military Institute, and then again it may not. Incidentally, that Virginia Military Institute eleven is being picked by coaches of other schools in Virginia as the best in the State, much to almost every outsider’s sur- would miss Barnes and one or two other players so much that they would not be strong this season. North Carolina University and South Carolina University, which come here in the two weeks after this to play Mary- land, are to meet Wake Forest and Erskine, respectively. Both the Caro- 1ina schools ought to win, though Wake Forest usually has been a very worthy antagonist for North Carolina. As & matter of fact, up to last year, Wake | Forest had been victor .over Carolina | for three straight seasons. | School Grid Play Should Be Speeded, Kramer Says Expressing the opinion that the conduct of high school foot ball championship games should be speeded up, Stephen E. Kramer, as- sistant superintendent of schools, in charge of high schools, said ‘today that the principals’ meeting he has called for Monday morning will be to consider the situation following decision to start the serles games this Fall at 3:45 o'clock instead of at 3:15 o'clock as heretofore. The time for starting the games has been made a half hour later because classes in the high schools now continue until 3 -o'clock, as against the former closing hour of 2:30 o'clock. Coaches of the various teams are said to look upon the later start- ing hour with disfavor. Eastern High gridders were to en- gage in a final light drill this after- noon in the Eastern Stadium in preparation for their game there tomorrow afternoon with the Calvert School eleven of Baltimore, start- ing at 3:30 o'clock. It will be the first game of the season in which a scholastic eleven of the District group will figure, More than ordinary interest at- taches to the contest as Eastern, because of its many seasoned play- ers, is generally favored to win the public high series, and fans want to see just how well the Lincoin Park- ers do in actual combat. It is likely that Eastern will find the Baltimoreans stout opponents. Last season the teams fought to a 6-6 tie in the opening game of the campaign for both teams. ——— ‘Woman tennis players of the United States have won the Wightman Cup four times, as compared to three vic- tories for the English.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, September 26. — Allen Holman, star Ohio State quar- terback, may not be permitted to compete another season for the Buckeyes, after all, Although the Ohio State faculty com- mittee has sanctioned his eligibility, the Big Ten is investigating his status fur- ther to see whether his case is similar to that of Mayes McLain, Jowa’s Indisn fullback of 1928, who was forced out of Big Ten competition because of the conference’s three-year rule.
