U. Has Home-Coming Scrap. BY H. C. BYRD. NOTHER hard week end awaits local college foot ball teams. The setting of last Saturday’s sun left gridiron banners flying unsullied, but the next few reflection on accomplishments of the past. to be done to get ready for even more tense struggles. that makes its home here has much to think about in preparation for next Saturday afternoon. Greatest interest will center in the Georgetown-Navy game at Annapolis. That always is attractive to Washington people, and, fol- lowing the brilliant victory of Georgtown over New Yor] now is especially so. Just how much interest there is in the game is shown by the demand for tickets, and for the 15,000 tickets Navy has available there are nearly 40,000 applications. In other words, a great many people who want to see the Navy-Georgetown struggle are due for disappointment. . Georgetown feels that it should g0 to Annapolis Saturday with the best prospect for victory it has had in years. Not since the Blue and Gray won from Navy by 6 to 0 has one of its elevens appa_remly had as good a chance to hoist its ban- ner above the Navy Blue. That is not saying it will, not by any means. Not only has Navy an excep- tionally good eleven, but it is just about twice as hard to beat at Annapolis as any where else. Probably if one were com- pelled to pick a prospective victor, the choice would fall on Navy. But it should be a great foot ball game. Georgetown has been coming along and seems to be strong enough to give almost any team a strenuous afternoon. Big Job for Maryland. Maryland goes to Yale again. Follow- ing Yale's triumph over Army and Dartmouth, supposedly the two strong- est elevens in the East, it is not neces- sary to say anything elss to indicate ‘what Maryland will be against. For one reason or another, though, Maryland seems to have the happy, for it, faculty of playi good foot ball whenever it steps in the Yale Bowl. Last Fall Mary- land surprised everybody by taking Yale's measure, 6 to 0, and it did it by simply playing better foot ball. Catholic University, in a home-com- ing game, entertains the Duquesne Uni- versity eleven at Brookland. One of the accomplishments that school has to its credit is a T-to-7 tie with West Virginia. ‘The Brooklanders, therefore, must face an eleven that is just about as strong as the one that Georgetown meets No- vember 16 in its homecoming game. ‘The Brookland eleven is in a position ‘where it must figure on meeting what probably is the best eleven it has faced this season, with the possible exception of Villanova, Gallaudet goes against Temple Uni- versity at Philadelphia, and Temple has to its credit a tie with Washington and | Jefferson, which last week gave Lafay- ette a beating. The Kendall Greencrs have a good eleven, but in this cass vill ‘face a combination with a lot more reserve g American U. Away. American University meets Wlshi‘ns-‘ ton College at Chestertown. The strength .rlnst which the Methodists will be pitted is not as great as the three schools previously mentioned are due to face, but is likely to be suffi- g‘:t‘:: to warrant predictions of a tough e. George Washington goes to Philadel- phia to play Mount St. Joseph’s. The Buff and Blue is weak, and almost any kind of opposition is comparatively strong. But, as has been taid several times already, with George Washington it is a case of wait until next year, un- ti1 some of the present freshman eleven bacome eligible to play varsity foot ball. Georgetown may well feel proud of its effort at New York Saturday, when it sent New York University down on the short end of a 14-to-0 score. George- town probably played far better foot ball than its own supporters thought it | could. But, as was said in this column last week, it is a better foot ball team than generally has been thought by those who were inclined to take its de- feat at the hands of Western Maryland as an indication of weakness. The | Blue and the Gray, even though it is| strong, has plenty to think about for the remainder of the season. With| Navy, West Virginia and Detroit to be | met, there does not seem to be in store much that is easy. Maryland and Virginia played a great game of foot ball, and the Old Liners, even if the game did result in a tie, have much in which they can find a decided sense of satisfaction. Maryland started its season with poor prospects, and knew that its prospects were poor, | but by dint of hard work and persever- | ance has developed until now it seems| strong enough to battle on fairly even terms any eleven in the section. It should have won from V. M. I. and against Virginia made 23 first downs to 9. Probably the members of the Maryland squad who have come along 50 well deserve greater credit than | many other Maryland teams with far| better records. Gallaudet and Catholic University ‘won their games, not without difficulty. but with considerable credit to them- selves. Both met strong teams, and their victories rounded out a highly successful afternoon for local elevens. ‘The Kendall Greeners found plenty of opposition against Baltimore University, and so did the Brooklanders against Manhattan, but that strong opposition was overcome in a way that admitted of no doubt that the victories were well deserved. It might be mentioned in connection with these two games that Johnnv Ringle of Gallaudet again dis- tinguished himself as a brilliant all- around foot ball player. Navy lost what the athletes call a “tough one" at Pennsylvania. Defeat Saturday almost was as heartbreaking as being tled the previous week at Princeton. In other words, with just a little break in Dame Fortune's cards Navy would have had victories over Princeton and Pennsylvania instead of the tie and defeat that are its portion. Navy had the ball on Penn's three-yard line, with plenty of time to put it across, when a fumble was recovered by a Penn player. Yale seems to be coming back to play something like Yale teams of old. Sat- urday it beat Dartmouth, apparently not so much because of the brilliance of its own defense, but because it played such an aggressive game on defense that it forced breaks by which it gained big advantages. With Dartmouth on its own 25-yard line somebody tackled Marsters so hard that the ball flew from n~ arms into the arms of a Yale man who ran to the Dartmouth goal line and a touchdown. Again late in the game in its. own territory the Yale line messad’ “ip a forward pass and saused it to e thrown wildly into a Yale back’s arms instead of one of Dartmouth’s and the intercepted pass was carried for a touchdown. Such are the so-called breaks of modern foot ball, but are so much a part of the game that the team that gets th-m muse be days will give very little time for Too much remains Every eleven University, its scores through uninterrupted of- fensive marches. Pittsburgh seems to be moving its merry way, its game Saturday with Ohio State resulting in such a decisive vic- tory that no doubt could exist about the comparison of the teams. The con- test gave Pitt an opportunity to com- pare very favorably with elevens in the Western Conference. Cornell won from Columbia by 12 to 6, when Dobie's team, unable to gain with its running game, took to forward passes. Incidentally, a scene such as takes place on few college foot ball fields was enacted at the end of the contest. Columbia carried the ball to Cornell’s 3-yard line just as the game was ending. It had time to run only one play. line and the milling players swirled and | went down, with the Columbia back at | the bottom of the heap. The referee tried to get at the ball to sce where it was and swarms of spectators rushed on the fleld and closed around the piled- up players, even before the decision had been made. Finally the referee made a motion indicating no touchdown and wended his way to the dressing room. One of the biggest surprises of last week's games was the defeat of Prince- ton by Chicago. It was known that Princeton was not as strong as_usual, but following a 24-to-0 defeat by Purdue | it seemed that thc Midwestern eleven was hardly up to the peak of big teams. It is interesting to note that Stagg, coach of the Chicago eleven for many | years, had the satisfaction of sceing his son in the quarterback's position | carry the team to victory. It begins to seem that Purdue has about the best chance for Western | Conference honors. Not only is it un- | defeated so far, but Saturday it went | out to Madison and whipped Wisconsin | by two touchdowns. In the other | Western Conference games, Minnesota beat Indiana and Northwestern took the measure of Illinols. ‘Two or three supposedly strong elevens | in the South took real beatings. Most | surprising were the defeats handed | Clemson by Kentucky and Washington | and Lee by Virginia Polytechnic Insti- | tute. Clemson has been going along well this Fall, and that Kentucky would whip it by 44 to 6 was entirely unexpected. Also it was not looked for that V. P. I. :zoum beat Washington and Lee by 36 o 6. Vanderbilt stopped Alabama by 2 touchdowns to 0. Vanderbilt began the year with many intimations that it would likely have a very weak eleven, but its record so far has not borne out that thought. In the two intersectional games in which Southern elevens took part Flor- The backs drove into the | ONLY STANFORD TILT FEARED BY BEARS By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, November 4.—Flush- ed with the confidence that only smashing victory over a great rival can bring, California’s Bears, sole unde- feated survivors uf the Pacific Coast Conference, girded today for_the last stretches of a march they hope will lead to the 1929 championship. Several hundred thousand fans, how- ever, harked back to the events leading up to California’s unequaled position in the foot ball sun—last Saturday's 15-7 triumph over its traditional foe, South- ern_California. Classed as a strictly defensive team, | California produced an offense that left | Southern California gasping on the zero side of a 15-0 score at half time. Two Trojan fumbles recovered by the Bears paved the way for as many touchdowns, while a_blocked kick and resultant safety added two points more. California’s next two Conference games should prove “push overs,” but the third and last, with Stanford, will be a hurdle as difficult as the one sur- mounted Saturday.

KANSAS CITY, November 4—With Nebraska idle this week end and Mis- souri playing out of the conference, the two Kansas members of the Big Six, Towa State and Oklahoma, continue the titular conflict, still an open battle.

There was an oyster roast at the Washington Yacht Club yesterday. Bald statement, but the initiate will under- stand the many things behind it. Be- ing at the Washington Club guaranteed it a success—a success from any angle or viewpoint. Stewed, fried, roasted or raw, 15 barrels of bay bivalves dis- appeared and besides the oysters there were lots of trimmings that went along for company. There was no bemoaning the rainy weather, for the crowd came just the same and the hosts made up in geniality what the weather lacked. No white pants yachtsmen are these, but cooks, dishwashers, shuckers and walters as the occasions arise. And the woman folk were in the thick of it, too. The galley under the clubhouse functioned with speed, dash and accuracy, and to them goes the credit. Commcedore Johnston displayed un- suspected talents as a master of cere- monies, the orchestra in the clubhouse only paused for an occasional oyster, and any one that thinks rainy weather will spoil a picnic for these'folks is all wrong, the rain merely causing a few to wear rubbers, none stayed at home. Many of the Corinthian Fleet have accepted the invitation of the Wash- ington Club to use their anchorage and clubhouse while arrangements are being made for the removal of the Corinthian outfit to a new site. It is expected that many more will take advantage of this tsmanlike offer in the near future, the time limit for the removal of their t from the present location being set for November 15.

Yesterday they defeated the Chester, Pa., Professionals, 25-0, in Grifith | Stadium, outclassing the visitors all the | way. The Hawks scored a touchdown in the first perido, added two more in the final third quarter and a fourth in the final. Admiral Dewey was the ace of the Mohawks' attack, scoring two touch- downs despite the muddy field. He registered the first in the third period when he twisted his way 40 yards, and the other in the final quarter when he raced 55 yards. Dewey's speed was largely responsible for both touchdowns, though he was in each instance given | good interference. Jim Birthright and Knocky Thomas did the bulk of the ball toting that paved the way for the Hawks' first touchdown in the opening period, Birth- right finally going over the goal line.

CHICAGO, November 4—Owing to a vote of thanks to Northwestern Wild- cats, Minnesota and Purdue today had almost distanced the pack in the quest for the Western Conference foot ball championship. Northwestern's contribution to the strivings of the Gophers and Boiler- makers was a 7-to-0 victory over Illi- nois Saturday, which tossed the Illini out of the race after a two-year reign over the Big Ten. Purdue remained at the top of the list by scoring a 13-to-0 triumph over Wisconsin battered eleven for its third straight triumph, while Minnesota added its second straight win, a 19-to-7 decision over Indiana. Saturday’s program will strike the high spot of the season in cholce of- ferings with three intersectional games and one contest of foremost importance in connection with the championship affairs.

TIED, BUT CAVALIERS GET VICTORY TOKEN UNIVERSITY, Va., November 4.— Virginia's foot ball team brought back | an emblem of victory over Marvland despite the fact that the game played in College Park on Saturday was a 13-to-13 tie. Senator M. E. Tydings of Maryland each year gives to the winner of the Virginia-Maryland game a silver foot ball of regulation size. In case of a tie the ball to the visiting team, and at the close of the game Senator Tydings brought the trophy to the Cav- alier dressing rooms. Since the Virginia-Maryland series was begun in 1925 the silver foot ball has been awarded five times. In games played Virginia has won twice, Mary- land once, and there have been two tie games. But because both ties have been played on Byrd Field the Cavaliers have four trophies and Maryland only one. Today the Virginians are forgetting silver foot balls for the pigskin kind. They are forgetting Maryland and look- ing ahead to next Saturday, when the powerful team of Virginia Polytechnic Institute comes to Lambeth Field for the last home game of the season. ‘While Virginia was fighting to a draw with Maryland, the Virginia Poly team was running riot over Washington and Lee, and the Cavallers are starting to- day to make certain that the riot call is not turned out again when the Gob- blers come to Lambeth Field at the end of the week. | Pro Grid League COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 4 (#). —Following is the standing of the Na- tional foot hall teams, including all | games played to date: | Green_Bay.

According to plans the new Western plant will not be a stadium, but rather a practice field.. It will be equipped with sufficient seats on both sides to accomodate spectators at the various contests and will be equipped for the playing of foot ball and base ball games and there will be a runni track, tennis courts and a_hockey fiel for' girls. A field house, where athletes may dress, also is planned. Much work will be necessary in grading and other- wise shaping up the field. Charles V. Imlay is chairman of the legislative committee of the Western High Home and- School Association, which has been working energetically to obtain the field. Other members of the committee are E. Duncan Bradley and George W. Offutt. All three are graduates of Western. In holding Newport News High to & 7-7 tie Saturday in the Vlfl:nl.l city, Devitt’s eleven aj demonstrated that it is one of power. The Newport News school is almost always repre- sented by strong teams in just about Sppeared agatnst o Distrcs, sshooiey agal a ct scl team prior to Saturday it defeated Hap Hardell's Tech outfit, 6 to 0. Capt. Francis (Fannie) Knott, full back, and Milton Abramson, quarter= back, were the conspicuous players for Devitt. It was this pair which early in the third period smashed their way through the Newport News defense for five first downs to bring the ball to the enemy three-yard line, where Knott battered through right guard for his team's touchdown. A pass from Knott to Abramson netted the extra point. Devitt's backfield showed much power, as it has done consistently this Fall, and Coach Jim McNamara's line, de- spite that it is composed largely of green players, gave a highly creditable exhibition. | In four games Devitt now has won | two, tied one and lost one. Its next | contest is scheduled for Friday against | Mount St. Mary's Preps at Emmitsburg. It is expected that some time this 00 | Week a date for the Devitt-Gonzaga foot ball game will be announced. The schools are reported to have settled their disagreement as to eligibility and |now need only settle upon a date for | the game. Gonzaga, which defeated Devitt last Fall, 13 to 6, some time ago let it ba known that it would not again book Coach Jim McNamara’s charges unless they agreed to use players that would conform to eligibility requirements laid down by the I Streeters. For a time it appeared that the game was off, so far as this season is concerned. This was a_disappointment to follows ers of scholastic foot ball hereabouts, ag | the game had become one of the annual | high spots of the District schoolboy gridiren season. The fact that it is just about settled that the game will be re- sumed after all is pleasing to the fole | lowers of the schools and many others | who have becoms interested in the an- nual clash. So far Devitt has not decided upon just what sports it will foster during the coming Winter. There is some sen- timent in favor of starting boxing and wrestling at the school and abandon ing basket ball, which did not go un< usually well at the institution last seae son. This may be done, or it may be decided to have all three sports, or nof to_have boxing and wrestling after all, Incidentally, boxing and wrestling in a few years may become important sports, at least in prep school ranks of the District. St. Alban’s School plang to start both the coming season, ac~ cording to the Rev. A. H. Lucas, head- master. Rev. Lucas is a firm believer in each, holding that they help to teach a boy to take care of himself and to take his bumps. Devitt's Athletic Association has initi- ated a movement looking to the elimi- nation of rowdyism at the scholastic sports events in this section. Recently the Devitt foot ball team played Washe ington-Lee High School at Ballston, Va., and some spectators became sq aroused that they wanted to fight. J. Leighton Cornwell, on behalf of the Devitt Alumni Association, states that this was not the recent demonstration of bad temper which has been given by fans attending schoolboy sports events in this section, and he has been asked by Stephen E. Krdmer, assistant super- intendent of high schools, for a confer- ence on the subject. It has been Cornwell's observation that spectators have been by far the chief offenders, the conduct of the l?l-y- ers having been such as to give little or no cause for criticism. —e— e BASKET OFFICIALS MEET.
