Georgetown Looking Ahead to Big Game With New York University, November 2 WASHINGTON BOYS ARE PERFORMING FOR COLLEGE GRID TEAMS IN HOYAS HAVE TWO GOOD SJONTESTS IN MEANTIME Likely to Get Spirited Opposition From West Vir- ginia Wesleyan Here Saturday—Other Local Teams Have Sturdy Foes. BY M. C. BYRD. G EORGETOWN'’S foot ball squad is looking ahead to real objective of its schedule, the game with New York Uni- versity at New York, November 2. West Virginia Wesleyan and Lebanon Valley are obstacles that lie between George- the first town and New York U., and while both are likely to put up spirited battles, it is not probable that either will cffer much tion than Little really wants and for what it regards as its most important eater op) - ut his eleven in shape attle of the year, with needs to the possible exception of the big home game with West Virginia. The Blue and Gray still smarts under its defeat by Western Maryland, but realizes that it is just one of those games that happen sometime to every foot ball team. the country that sometime has not suffered a good trimming enrli' in the year, and late, too, for that matter, from some small school. Georgetown in taking such a defeat is not different frcm others, and in future years the thing will happen ag Georgetown’s game with New York U. will not be as big a game as Little had hoped for as both have been defeated. In other words, Georgetown is not the only big school that has suffered so far at the hands of what it considered ® much weaker opponent. New York . last week dropped & game by a big margin to its own front-door neighbor, Fordham. And these schools are not different from Yale and Princeton, be- cause Yale went down before Georgia and Princeton before Brown. Little realizes that his backfield !sl not playing the kind of foot ball it should, not elvex‘:o thxe kh‘l%ho! é(]ml balé hs= expected it play. e Blue an Gray backs have disappointed their coach from the first quarter of the first game, and hardly does Little know the reason. He knows they just are not measuring up to the standard he be- lieved them capable of and set for them. Little is not saying much about that, but is sawing wood in his efforts to develop the spark that will make the engine go. This week Georgetown plays West Virginia Wesleyan. It is not likely that the visitors will be strong enough to do snything more than give the local eleven just the kind of game it wants, & game that will offer just enough opposition to make the Blue and Gray work for what it gets, but which will not offer enough to prevent a bullding up of the offense through inability to get off plays successfully. West Vir- ginia Wesleyan already has been whipped by two elevens that George- town plays. It dropped its contest to New York University by four touch- and to West Virginia by two touchdowns and a field goal. Catholic University will E:t vpllelmv of %ptflflnn in its game wif is reported that, while not much is heard of Villanova, that school actually has one of the strongest elevens in the Fast. The Brooklanders will go into the game with hopes of winning, but mmnfmm'iiy"i'.’ t‘he sr likely | ve met or are i to meet this year. American University has a game with ‘Baltimore University, and should make 3 showing. The Methodists, while not overly blessed with material, have a well coached and aggressive eleven that will give a good account of itself in any game in which it rightfully should have a fair chance.

Virginia goes against the strongest Virginia Military Insti- tute eleven that has been known in many years. So strong are the Lex- ington cadets, in fact, that many are of the opinion that they have the best eleven that has ever worn their colors. inly the games so far played by M. 1. indicate just that. . Not only must Virginia face probably the best team V. M. I ever has had, ut it will be forced to go into the game sminus two or three of its best players. Johnny Sloan, captain and quarterback and one of the best puntars in the South, is out with a broken bone in his foot, while Motley, a brilliant tackle, has a leg injury that probably will keep him on the sidelines. Virginia will miss these men. North Carolina hopes to continue its winning way and blaze a trail to new heights on the gridiron by beat- ing Georgia. The victory won by the Athens eleven over Yale last week makes North Carolina seem all the more desirous of attaching the Georgia scalp to the three that already dangle ‘at its belt. And in all probability the Tarheels should be favored to do just g at It is not likely that either eleven will- be as strong as last week, when Norh Carolina beat Georgia Tech and Gt won from Yale, but it also is t as likely tnat Georgia went thraugh more of a strain and huzza eripd than Carolina and consequently {s 1ikely to suffer a greater letdown.

As one of them he moves his conference champlons into the golden West this Saturday for what may prove to be a farewell battle with Iowa, seeing that Jowa is on _pi‘renbnflon. ‘or something, in the Big n. Be that as it may, Bob will take no chances with the game.

It's one of those ball-ball-who's-got-the-ball plays. No. 2 back takes it from center and cavorts to his left, sliding it stealth- ily to No. 4, reversing to the rear. Both guards come out to help block ambitious opponents seeking to run down No. 4. No. 2 takes the right end and No. 3 back the defense left end. . Note how end 6 and back 7 swerve to the deep downfield right. As they clear that area of opponents, No. 5 end slips across and swerves into it to e & pass from No. 4. It is not an easy pass to break up. KOEPKE, MIDDIES' CAPTAIN. BENCHED Swan Is Put at Right Guard| to Add Some Weight to Navy Efeven. ANNAPOLIS. Md., Octdber 16.—Dis- satisfied with the defensive work of the right side of the Navy line in last Sat- urday's game against Notre Dame and believing that more weight is needed in the middle portion of it, Coach Bill Ingram decided that he would try Swan at right guard in place of Capt. Koepke, while Chapple would go to left guard. Swan, at left guard during a large part of Saturday’s game, was the best man in the line. He will be shifted over to take the place of Navy's stocky captain. Koepke, however, is a fighter and may be seen in his old place a little later. For the present the change will add about 30 pounds to the weight of the center trio. Swan weighs 180 pounds, which is about 10 pounds heavier than Koepke, while Chapple, who is Navy's heavyweight boxer, weighs 195 pounds, which is 20 pounds heavier than Eddy, who has been work at left guard. Both Swan and Chapple are active and experienced players, Outside of the change at the ds, and the probable substitution of Hag- berg for Bryan at right tackle, the team which will start againgt Duke Saturday is likely to be the saie which began the Notre Dame game. VIRGINIA WEAKENED FOR V. M. . CLASH UNIVERSITY, Va, October 16. — Virginia will be depending largely on young blood to stop the V. M. I.

In the Cavalier line-up that will face the veteran eleven from Lexington with a monogram man in every position, there may not be more than three or four who have won the “V” in former campaigns. The others will be new men. At the most there cannot be more starting line-up. And the chances are that two or even three of them may give way to youngsters.

SIX ELEVENS HOPE TOEVENFOR 132 to Revenge in’ Battle With Army. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Bports Writer. EW YORK, October 16.—A half dozen Eastern college foot ball teams feel they've improved just about enough since last year to turn the tables Satur- day on rivals who finished on the long end of the score in 1928. In this list might be found such elevens as Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Washington and Jefferson, Western Maryland and Brown. Harvard lost to Army last year, 15-0, for the first time in a lengthy rivalry, but has high hopes this year of stopping Cagle, and sending the Army back to West Point on the short end of the score. Brown, which uncovered a great passing combination in Fogarty to Edwards to nose out Princeton Ilas week, takes on another “big three” team in Yale and may avenge the 32-14 defeat of last season. Yale's modernized offensive worked well enough against \éermon:, but got nowhere fast against eorgia. Corg’lmbh trailed Dartmouth by two touchdowns in 1928, but feels its turn is about here. If Dartmouth has an Al Marsters, Columbia points with pride to a Ralph Hewitt. Cornell, after some years of foot ball , i8 looking up and may Roper's Princeton Tigers a beating to match the 3-0 reverse it suffered at Princeton last season. Washington and Jefferson may jolt a Carnegie Tech team that does not look quite so strong as the one that ;ulrlll'\ed back the Presidents, 19-0, last Western Maryland dropped a 7-0 de- cision to Temple last season and al- though both teams are undefeated this season, the Maryland conquerors of Georgetown seem to hold the edge. Pitt and Nebraska battled all through their game last season without a score, but Pitt hopes to break the spell Satur- day at Lincoln. Lafayette and Bucknell also played to a scoreless tie and may do so again, Navy holds a bi edge on Duke; West Virginia should conquer Washington and Lee, although the score probably will be closer than the 22-0 of last year; Georgetown should experience no more trouble with West Virginia Wesleyan than it ‘did last year. Four leading Eastern colleges meet opponents they did not face in 1928. Pennsylvania“ tangles with California at Philadelphia; Boston College meets Dayton in.

Men of their standing do not transform their business without a power- ful incentive. The incentive lies partly in a keen desire to enjoy the competitive ad- vantage of a 4-Forward-Speed Six under a thousand dollars, an advantage that is ex- clusively Durant. It lies, even more, in their recognition of the soundness of the new Durant executive leadership— factors equally important to the public, because they insure exceptional value in Durant products.
