With Duquesne $o strong, and with Catholic University g a good well-coached eleven, in all prodability as good foot ball will be seen in the game at Brookland as in any of the contests in the whole section. George Washington apparently is so weak that almost any kind of an eleven for its opponent means a difficult after- noon. The Buff and Blue, though, may be fortunate enough to get by with a garM tomorrow. Not much is known of the St. Joseph's eleven, and it may buc;mtnh'ukeruuntmhcd squad. ‘Georgetown'’s game with Navy, though, is the one in which is being shown intense interest. The Blue and Gray always has put up some great games against Navy, but victories for it over £ Navy have been few and far between. It has always seemed that no matter ‘how strong Georgetown is, and no mat- ter how poor a team Navy has had, the latter could always -muster up some reservoir of strength at the last moment to enable it to win. It is rather re- markable, and may augur well for to- morrow, that Georgetown, without a very remarkable team itself, went to Annapolis and beat by 6 to 0 one of the strongest elevens that ever wore Navy colors. That was back some years ago, when Gil Doble was coaching at Navy and Exendine at‘Georgetown. Navy has a powerful, versatile team his Fall, cne that has been through the mill of hard experience in several difficult games the country’s biggest teams. , for one rea- c!:!: or nnotl;!e‘r,nm:tmn: huub?: going wrong avy’s games. as Navy is concerned, it has not been able to win. It lost a great game to Notre Dame, then tied with Princeton and last week lost to Penn. It is not a secret that Nnv;fl;eeu it showld have won from both ce- ton and Penn without a good deal of trouble and that on the basis of play in the two contests should have been returned victor both times. Something went wrong each time. As one Navy man told the writer: “Against Prince- ton the difference was so great that one can look back and cannot figure how in the world we lost. Against Penn we seemed tp gain easily and tb stop Penn, but we just did not- do things right. We rushed the ball with 2 yards to go on fourth down when we should not have rushed it, and we kicked when we should have rushed.” Navy people feel that if Navy begins to find itself to the extent of eliminat- ing the things that have gone wrong it will play some great games. George- town, of course, is not hoping that tomorrow will be the first time this season when the Navy will not have a miss'in what undoubtedly is a power- ful machine. A win for the Blue and Gray would be an extra blow for Navy, because it has not been used to losing to Georgetown and, on the contrary, a win for Georgetown would be a brilli accomplishment for the Blue and Gray. Victory for any team over another team that has been difficult to beat ane over which victories are few and far between 1is especially sweet. Coach Lou Little is saying virtually nothing about prospects for the game other than what he said prior to the New York University contest. This, summed up, was, “We are capable of doing great things if we give the best we have. If our men play as we be- lieve they are capable of playing and work together we have a chance againgt anybody. It all depends on whether we give the best we have.” Thousands and thousands of local people will trayel to Annapolis tomor- Tow and other thousands would like to make the trip, but find it useless. The supply of tickets for the game is ex- hausted and a pair of paste boards to admit to the game are just about im- possible to get. Gallaudet goes fo Philadelphia to meet ‘Temple University. The Kendall Green cleven will give the Pennsylvanians more of a battle than they are expected to, although they are not likely to be strong enough to stand much chance of win- Temple has a_strong outfit. a team that fought Washington and Jefferson to a tie. Gallaudet also is far better than it usually is and far better than the teams it is playing expected it to be. American University goes to Chester- town to play Washington College. Or- dinarily the Methodists would be picked to win, but with the contest taking place on the home grounds of the other eleven in all probability an even break for vic- tory is about all that should be ex- pected. University of Maryland goes North for its annual game with Yale. The Old Liners face a real foot ball team, apparently the strongest Yale has had in years. Any Southern eleven that faces Yale' at Yale always will be the underdog, although sometimes the un- derdog gets away with victory. Yale's defeat of Army and Dartmouth on con- secutive Saturdays is sufficient indica- ticn of what Yale has, Maryland, with the exception of one end, is in good ‘shape for the game, in better shape than it has been for any contest this year. It may or may not make a great showing, depending in large measure on how certain factors work out.

HEN the Nationals do their training in Biloxi, Miss,, the first three weeks of mext March they may be bothered at times by rain, something that did not anoy them to any great extent during the 10 years they did their conditioning work at Tampa, Fla. According to the Weather Bureau, Blloxi is somewhat moist, not to say damp, during the third month of thej year. ‘The meteorological sharps have it that the average rainfall for March in Blloxi and vicinity is 5.7 inches. Which is considerably tore than the average rainfall for this month in Washington. And Washington never has been con- sidered a dry spot in March. The rec- ords show that some Marches in Bfloxi aren't so damp, but the Weather Bureau book also shows that in one March the cipitation amounted to more than 12 inches. - Then the Biloxi business men went to work in boats, But Biloxi has climate, ‘according to the Weather Bureau. Plenty of it. It has been &s hot as 92 degrees Fahren- heit in March in this Mississippi town. And as cold as 26 degrees in this month. Something like Washington, it seems, in this respect. But the 26 degrees was never experienced by the present crop of Biloxi natives. Generally right hot in March there. However, with its rain and its vary- ing temperatures, Biloxi must be a pretty spiffy place. It is a Winter as well as a Summer resort with a won- derful beach on Biloxi Bay, fine golf courses—which may or may not inter- est the Nationals next Spring—and lenty of fishing—which certainly will rnmm the many Isaak Waltons with the Washington club. It's not a big town. Latest census statistics credit it with a population of 16,000. Qnite a little place compared with Tampa, where the Nationals trained .so long. But little towns are considered ideal training sites for big league clubs by the owners, except when they look for crowds at the exhibition mes. Biloxi has a fine new athletic eld which the Nationals will use, and also a fine new hotel which will be the club’s headquarters. President Griffith always has his club well quartered. Present plans call for the Nationals to do the first three weeks of their training in Biloxi. The pitchers are to toil during the first two weeks of March under the Mississippi skies, then the entire club will be assembled for a week of training in Biloxi. After that will come two weeks of trraining at , President Joe Engel's new t. .pohemkm Griffith figures five weeks of condi k in. South and an- good plonship season of the American League.

GRAHAM, Associated Press Staff Writer. TLANTA, Ga., November 8— Two of the South's outstanding sophomore backfield performers will vie for honors at Mont- gomery, Ala., tomorrow as the University of Kentucky Wildcats tangle with Alabama. If the Wildcats leap over the ever- dangerous Crimson tide a large portion of the credit for the victory probably will be attributed to “Shipwreck” Kelly, who, in two months, has jumped from an unknown to the second high scorer and one of the most fearegd ball carriers in the Southland. Should Alabama win, Hugh Miller, Wallace Wade's sophomore discovery, more than likely will play a major role in the conquest. In addition to his run- ning game, Miller is one of the best drop-kickers in the conference. a Tech, which has assumed the role of giant killer since being shunted to the side lines early in the season, will attempt to erase the Van- derbilt threat from the Southern horizon. . Although Jake Johnson, tackle, was injured in practice, Tennessee expects to coast through Carson Newman with- out his services. Auburn’s faint hopes of halting Tulane were fainter than ever today with the announcement that Jim Craw- ford, its best halfback, would be unable to play because of injuries. With its squad intact for the first time since the opening of the season, Duke is pointing _for Louisiana State at Durham. It will the first conference tilt for Duke. Louisiana State is unde- feated within the circuit. A lively encounter is programmed for Charlottesville, where Virginia and Virginia Poly mix it. Both teams have been bolstered by the return of injured stars, Although the game has no bear- ing on the conference situation, it will do quite a bit toward deciding the championship of the Old Dominion. South Carolina has been working behind closed gates for its engagement with North Carolina at Columbia. Clemson, badly beaten by Kentucky last week, will attempt a comeback against Virginia Military Institute and North Carolina will endeavor to put Davidson on the spot. Maryland and Mississippi have en- gagements in the North with Yale and Purdue, while Michigan State comes to Jackson to tie up with the Mississippl A . YALE PICKS ELEVEN TOPLAY MARYLAND Wilson Is Named as Quarter. Booth Is Due to Toil in Only Ohe Period. NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 8.— Coach Mal Stevens of the Yale foot ball team has picked his line-up for the game with Maryland tomorrow. Stevens decided to return the veteran ‘Wilson to run the Eli eleven. He se- lected Stewart, first string guard, to begin the game instead of the veteran Loeser, who has not been in satisfactory physical condition all Fall. He picked McLennan for left halfback instead of either Booth or Snead, who have ‘been alternated in that position in beginning every game this Fall. Snead has been used when the Yale campaign plans called for a line-forcing attack. He weighs nearly 190 pounds, and with Miller and Dunn constitutes a heavy artillery drive against any rival. McLennan, who was sul ute - back last year, weighs only 1 He and Wilscn will divide the p assign- ment, Stevens' alignment calls for using Booth for only one playing period un- less Maryland, which whitewashed Yale last year, 6 to 0, proves “trou- blesome.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 8.—The East tomorrow has a heavy schedule of climatic or semi- climatic foot ball battles, but the general interest of the section will be in Army’s duel with Bob Zuppke's Illinois eleven and Harvard's fray with Michigan, both games being in the Midwest. ‘The intersectional contest at New York between Georgia and New York University will vie for interest with such purely domestic encounters as Penn State-Pennsylvania, Dartmouth-Brown, Georgetown-Navy, _ Colgate-Columbia, Washington and_ Jefferson-Pittsburgh, Boston College-Fordham, Villanova- Bucknell, Rutgers-Lafayette, and among the little three, Wesleyan and Williams. ‘Yale and Cornell and West Virginia also are to engage intersectional foes, but of these only West Virginia appears to be in any of defeat. Yaie meets Maryland, with full expectations of avenging the 6-0 defeat plastered on it last year. Cornell should get no more than a workout against Western Re- serve, but West Virginia, especially in view of its hard election day battle with Fordham, appears doomed to defeat by the heavy Detroit eleven of Gus Dorals, unbeaten over a span of 20 contests and tled only once in that time. Princeton hopes to achieve its second victory of the season at the expense of Lehigh, but the Pennsylvanians are looking up after a long period of foot ball depression and may spring a sur- prise. Lehigh held Penn to a 10-7 score, a neat performance in any season, Unbeaten teams clash in the Pitt- W. and J. and Boston College-Fordham meetings, but all of these elevens but Pitt have been tied. Fordham might be a favorite over Boston College but for the fact Fordham will have had only three days of rest since its scoreless tie with West Virginia. Villanova, another unbeaten team, may not be in that class after the fray with the rugged Bucknell outfit. ‘The Brown-Dartmouth duel is draw- ing more interest, perhaps, than it would had Al Marsters been available for Dartmouth (filll‘kl'hlck duty.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. ‘6 'HY bring that up?” ~ This is the succinct reply of Elmer Hardell, coach of the Tech eleven, which has just about clinched the public high school foot ball championship for the second season in succession, to the suggestion of an official of the public high schools published in this column that each eleven play the other twice in the championship series. Amplifying his opinion on the “As I understand it, there is matter, Hardell says: a rule against playing off ties in foot ball in the District public high championship series and here is an individual who wants to play twice around. “The Big Ten does not play twice around. They can’t even play once around. Where is a foot ball league in which they play twice around? “The interest would not be doubled, as claimed, but would be cut in half. Most people would care only to see one team play once. The series would be strung out too far. “Again, the schools could not have any outside games to speak of.” Hardell also points out that in- | Go juries, though few in the series; do hurt the teams, even under the present arrangement of each eleven meeting the others once. “As it is now,” the Tech mentor says, “our boys play four games with all their heart and soul. Now it is suggested that they play eight under the train of the reali- zation that a championship is at stake. It would be too much of a mental strain. “Youth can't stand eight strenuous games,” declares Hardell. “Even big college teams can't—hence what is known as an upset. Al Marsters of Dartmouth did not play all of last sea- son and he is now out of the line-up, injured. “Again, an eight-game series would interfere with a boy's scholastic pro- gram. Foot ball is a part of the edu- cational system, not the whole show. “The twice-around idea was tried in the base ball series and abandoned. We have it in basket ball and it seems to work, but it may or may not be the best thing. N “In foot ball the plan is ridiculous. ‘There are too many good teams to play and too many good contacts to have without narrowing the field.” It was pointed out by the official who suggested the eight-game idea in the foot ball series that, while such an ar- rangement would mean that the variot elevens competing in the series would have to curtail to a marked extent the number of games they play outside of the series, that it, nevertheless, was his belief that the enlarged schedule would assure the best team winning the cham- plonship, something that the present number of games does not, in his opin- T ine. elghic gement nder e eigl -game arran nt, bur correspondent pointed out, the teams would be given more chance to show their real worth and the series doubtless would prove more interesting to the players, spectators and every one else concerned. ‘There is a possibility that Gonzaga’s eleven may entertain the Academy High School team of Erie, Pa., here on Fri- day, November 29, an open date on the Purple schedule.

Youngblood says that he already has in line teams comprising erstwhile Lang- ley, Hine, Jefferson, Columbia and Stuart players and that a team of form- er Macfarland players probably also can be assembled. He says much interest is manifest in the proposed loop. It is pointed out by Youngblood that many boys learn soccer in the graded schools and like it and when they en- ter \the junior high' schools and are coached in the finer points of the game they become even more interested in the game. However, once they leave junior mgh school many of these boys find 'mselves deprived of further oppor- tunity of competition in the game, soc- cer not being played. in the senior high schools, Often they are too light for foot ball and are not blessed with a deal grf agwfllty in basket ball, base ball or ack.

Referees fro) the Referees’ Association would officiate in both games and the junior booters doubtless would learn much from the play of the older booters.

In the last analysis, however, the Teeh eleven's alert and smart play gives it the call. Determining supremacy in the prep school group is, however, proving & harder job. Most of the teams in this division are stronger than usual this Fall and not enough games so far have been played to furnish a reliable index as_to compazative strength. Emerson, Devitt, Gonzaga and St. John's all boast capable elevens., The teams representing ward, St. Alban’s and Landon, are handicapped by lack of heavy and experienced play- ers. ‘The surprise of the group is St. John's. So far as foot ball is concerned the Vermont avenue school been rather decidedly in the background in recent years but this Fall under the tutelage of Paulle Byrne, former Georgetown and Loyola stalwart, a highly capable team has been developed.
