Virtually every eleven has a real job on its hands, and possibly some of the best games Incidentally, all the games arc Greatest local interest is centered in the Georgetown-West Vir- flnis game here, although a good al deal will follow the University "of ryland to Norfolk for its annual battle with Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Those that make the journey to Lexington, Va., will get an unusual opportunity, in that they may watch the Virginia Military Institute-Kentucky game in the morning and the Washington and Lee-Virginia game in the afternoon. North Carolina State College plays Duke University and North Carolina University meets Davidson. Catholic University goes to Willilamsburg to play illiam and Mary, while in Baltimore the time-honored Johns Hopkins-St. John’s game is.to take place. Georgetown is e ted to win from ‘West Virginia. The Blue and Gray will go against an eleven that has hard- 1y been measuring up to former stand- ards, although it probably will be strong enough to put up a game worthy of a worthy opponent. It would be a big surprise if West Virginia were to get away with the long end of the score, although in full justice to the situation it might be mentioned that such an ending is not_in the least impossible. However, the Blue and Gray in its last two games has been playing great foot ball, much better, apparently, than West Virginia. Should Be a Gem. The Virginia Military Institute-Ken- tutky game Lexington ought to be a gridiron gem. Both schools are repre- sented by about the best teams in their history and both have playing consistently fine foot ball. Each has| besn defeated only once, V. M. I. in a| close game with Florida and Kentucky | in the same kind of a contest with A rheVirginia-Washington _and_Lee e Vi -Was| n an e in the affernoon would be inter- esting if both elevens had lost every game they have played. It is one of those contests that usually pack the stands, no matter what the records of the teams. Washington and Lee had rather win from Virginia than any other team on its schedule, and Vir- ginia would rather lose to any other. Virginia this year has the better record. Its play has been exceptionally good at times and has been consistent except for the latter part of its contest with Vlrfilil Polytechnic Institute last week. Probably Virginia should be favored to ‘win n. Maryland goes to Norfolk for its bat- tle with V. P. I. in much better shape fl:yslu"y than it made the same trip t season, that is, of course, provided it gets no injuries this week. The Old Liners came through the hard, rough battle with Yale almost without a scratch, and it is understood that V. P. I was in {\ul as good shape yester- day as when it went over to Charlottes- ville last week to meet Virginia. V. P. I ‘won from Maryland last year by a scote of 9 to 6, while the year before that Maryland was victor, 13 to 7.

P. I. came back in the second half to win by & mar- gin. However, the C. U.-William and ]‘w}:fi' contest should be really vhile. Over in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins and St. John's are due to settle a foot ball argument of long standing. The Annapolis eleven has not been a victor many times in recent years, although last season it won by a very decisive score. lopkins does “not relish a de- feat at the hands of St. John's and probably will put up its best game of the year. Records of teams so far this season in the South Atlantic section are not 80 very far from what generally was expected. Georgetown looked for one of its best elevens, and probably has, nothwithstanding the defeat it suffered early in the season. Were it not for that early reverse, entirely unexpected, ‘which under ordinary circumstances would not have been sustained, the Blue and Gray would be acclaiming its team as one of the greatest that has worn its colors. And, to get down to brass tacks, probably - few former Georgetown teams have been superior to the present one. North Carolina snd Virginia Poly- technic Institute and Virginia Military Institute announced right at the begin- ning of the year that they would have good elevens, and they have. North Carolina unquestionably has the strong- est outfit that has been in this section in many years and certainly by far the strongest that has ever worn North Carolina colors. And V. P.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES, (Assoclated Press Sports Writer.) HICAGO, November 12.—Two of A in Western Conference - foot ball—Michigan and Minnesota and Chicago and Illinois—will be renewed Saturday. Michigan will go to Minneapolis to try to take the “Little Brown Jug” away from Minnesota, where it has rested in a trophy case since 1927. They did not meet last season, and the 1927 victory was Minnesota’s first since 1919. Com- paring their records, Michigan does not appear to have much chance of taking the trophy back to Ann Arbor, but Minnesota, in losing to Jowa last Sat. urday, took a physical beating and y be unable to recover in timesto stop the improving Wolverines. Chicago and Illinois will not be fight- ing for a trophy, and none is n to bring out the best in both teams. Neither team is having a good season, but both have proven capable of spring- ing surprises, and a close battle is in- dicated. Purdue Drilling Hard. Coach Jimmy Phelan of Purdue has wasted no time in getting under way with his preparation for the invasion of Towa Saturday—the game that prob- ably will make or break the Purdue season. -Phelan did not uss Welch or Harmeson, his star ball carriers, against Mississippi, but yesterday both, along with White, Yunevich and the varsity line, were driven through a sharp scrimmage against the reserves. JTowa was given an afternoon off to permit the squad to recover from bumps received in the Minnesota contest. Coach Ingwerson found a long list of injuries awaiting him. He plans to give his reserves a lot of attention dur- ing the preparatory period before the Purdue clash. Indiana In Trim. Indiana, which had an open date last Saturday, is in the midst of winding up for its invasion of Northwestern this week end. The Hoosiers are in physical condition and will be at their best against the Wildcats. 'h Pat Page has indicated he will have sev- eral second-string men in the starting line-up. Coach Dick Hanley of Northwestern gave his regulars a rest yesterday, after cautioning them against picking In- diana for a soft opponent, Northwest- ern is pulling for Iowa to trip Purdue Saturday, which, with a Northwestern triumph over Indiana, would give the Wildeats a strong claini to the Confer- | ence title. It will be Northwestern's final Big Ten contest of the season. A minimum of activity is on the Wis- consin and Ohio State programs for the week. The Badgers will have an open date Saturday, and Ohio State, with Hlinois to be met a week from Satur- day, plans little work - in preparation for Kenyon, Saturday’s opponent. MARRINER WILL RETURN TO RING NOVEMBER 26 CHICAGO, November 12 (#).—Les Marriner, former University of Illinois foot ball player, whose career as & heavyweight boxer twice has been in- terrupted by injuries to his right hand, will return to the ring Novem! 26 at George Hoffman of New York, former amateur heavyweight champion, as Marriner’s opponent in & 10-round bout.

Rockne's right leg, incapacitated for more than a month by a blood clot, has improved rapidly. He has becn able to leave his bed, but his Eh}'slrlan insists that he remain off is feet as much as possible. 8o the wheel chair will be used, as it was when he went to Pittsburgh to direct the Ramblers against Carnegie Tech on October 26, “I am feeling much better and will be right on the job next Satur- day,” Rockne said today. “But I'm following my physician's orders and e‘){,elrnnl my leg as little as pos- sible.” ARMY SHY OF SPIRIT IN ILLINOIS GLASH Cadets Better Eleven Than They Showed in Losing to Inspired Enemy. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. OOT BALL as it is played in the Army received no black eye at Champaign Saturday among those who know a foot ball eleven when they see one and are inclined to look behind such mis- leading things as scores. West Point needed one element in this game that she lacked and which Illinols _ possessed—fanatical fighting spirit. The Army, in view of past con- tests and contests to come, could not be hopped up, as the saying is, for this game, whereas it was the big game for the Illini, the game for which Zuppke had primed his men mentally and physically. Cadets Outrush Foe. 8o, as regards jump, flashing sction, especially on tl defense, and other manifestations of spirit the Army was not so impressive as the men of Ur- bana. On the other hand, the West Point attack by rushing and overhead play Eulned 10 first downs as against 8, while the Cadets through rushing in- side the ends gained a yardage more than two to ome. This last hints of | real power. All this is not said with any intention of taking away the Illinois victory. It is said merely with the aim of letting the far-flung adherents of this Army | team kriow that it is a better eleven than the score showed and that it will be more formidable for the Notre Dame and Stanford this year than it was last. Army Interference Nailed. Where Illinois shone was in an un- ceasing defensive &mure which, chiefly, stopped the main Army ace, Cagle. Cagle was kept in irons, so far as {running was concerned. It was not so much that this gifted player was seized before he got through the lines; the trouble was that his interference | galley-west all afternoon. | But in the department of forward passing Red was a veritable genius. His passes went long and wide to end or back and the velocity with which the ball sped and the swift pace of the receivers out-distanced the Illinols de- fense men, who, while they were never fooled by the passes, were none the less unable to get up to the receiver as the ball went into his arms. W'ESTEli MARYLAND WINS. BALTIMORE, Md, November 12 (/P).—Defeating Loyola College of Bal- timore, 33 to 7, yesterday, Western Maryland's foot ball team remained the only undefeated college eleven in the State.

BY WALTER TRUMBULL. ITTSBURGH, Nctre Dams, Pur- due, California, Tennessee and Tulane still stand among the unbeaten teams, but how se- cure that standing may be no man Kknows. Notre Dame has vet to tackle South- ern California, Northwestern and Army, and that is no light assignment. Pitts- burgh must get by Carnegie and Penn State, two tough opponents. California must dis] cf Washington and Stan- ford. rdue has Iowa and Indiana to meet. Vanderbilt, Kentucky and South Carolina remain on the schedule for Tenne Tulane plays Sewanee and Louisiana State. Two of the surprises of last Satur- day's games were the victory of Iowa over Minnesota and the slaughter of West Virginia by Detroit. Minnesota generally has been regarded as the strongest team in the conference. West Virginia has not ben famous for its attack, but it has been regarded as a ood defensive eleven and that Lloyd grl:fl and his Detroit comrades would run up a score of 36 to 0 against the Mountaineers certainly was unexpected. Colgate was another eleven which won by an unexpectedly high margin. Col- gate figured to b2at Columbia, but not so badly. Army discovered that you -gannot practically spot & Zu})pke-ooum( - nois team a couple of touchdowms and expect to get l'lg"“.h it. In addition the Illinois men barreled up le, and that was that, Maryland's tie with Yale is more ‘understandable. ~ With what appeared a secure lead, the Yale coaches rulled out Booth and some of the regulars and a fighting Maryland eleven refused to stay beaten. Michigan contrived for the first time in hisf to beat Harvard on a foot ball fleld, and I refuse to subscribe| to the theory that it was entirely on account of breaks in the luck or Har- vard's mistakes. It was just as much because of Michigan's ability to take advantage of those mistakes. The Wolverines were lucky to get the ball n the Crimson's 23-yard line and on its 17-yard line, but it was not luck which in each instance enabled Mich- igan to travel the remaining distance for a score. The Wolverines showed a scoring punch of a plunging, running type. And they kicked their goals. yfinrvnrd failed to kick its goals, which failure meant the difference be- tween defeat and a tie score. Harvard was halted on Michigan's 5-yard Wpe. Harvard once lost a scoring chance penalty and bad judgment | b Harvard failed to handle the ball cleanly on several occasions, and was lucky to retrieve it without great damage. Having said that, I may also say that Harvard's future opponents find little comfort in e Crimson's defeat. For about three-quarters of the game Harvard outplayed Mich- igan and the Crimson ended by putting on the most astounding aerisl attack I _ever remember to have seen. pass was thrown b; completed, while Mic] less. Here Harvard showed courage, brilliance was skill. In"the old home of Friedman and Ovosterbaan, Wood, Mays and Harding THE THIRD WHITE gave an exhibition of attack by air which gained a touchdown and almost gained another, while cold chills put a marcel wave in the spines of Michigan rooters, sitting waiting for the final whistle to blow. Kipke's pupils won the game and deserve the credit which goes | with victory, but it was Harvard which furnished the thrills. This Barry Weod is one of the cleverest handlers of a| foot ball the game has seen. “Wood,” Flelding Yost said to me after the game, “certainly can throw that ball, and I never have seen & man better at picking his receiver.” Tad Jones and Adam Walsh saw the contest and were more than willing to | give Wood high credit. In fact, any one present at Ann Arbor could tell the Yale players that, if they don't do something concerning this Mr. Wood, they are likely, at a not so distant dats, to ses it raining foot balls out of a crimson sky Peculiar as it may seem, that is the present Cambridge weather prediction.

Straight Off Tee T won't be very long now before the man who can hit & tse shot a rea- sonable distance will gain the advantage his well-hit shot entitles him to on the seventeenth hole at the Washington Golf and Country Club. For nearly seven years now the golf- ers of the club, barring & very few lengthy hitters who try for the long carry over the trees to the greens, have ben forced to take an iron club and play straight down the fairway cr to the right of the fairway, hoping the shot will be sufficiently far to the right so it will not 'jump merrily down into the ditch at the left. The hole has been a bugbear to the greens committee, whose members have realized its limita- tions and the fact that the better golfer might get a bad break off the hill and roll into the diteh, while the man who g:lll-hlbl his tee shot might gt a good Changes now in progress, to be com- pleted within a fortnight, will remedy this condition and enable the long hit- ter to take out the wooden club and slash away at th2 ball, certain that if he hits it far enough it wen’t be in any trouble. § The changes will give the long hitter the edge, particularly when the course is slow, for he can carry the hill about 170 yards from the tee with plenty to spare, while the shorter hitter will find the carry just as difficult as it ever has n. About 200 yards from the tee the fairway narrowed down to a point not more than 40 yards in width. At the right was a ditch, and at the left was and will remain a ditch. But the haz- ard at the right now is b>ing for some 30 or .40 yards of and will become fairway. good hitter may take a wooden club and sock that ball straight down the alley. ‘The only thi he has to far is a hook. If he hooks the ball it will dis- appear in the ditch at the -laft, as it has done for many years. But if he knocks it straight or even to the right of the line, it will give him a far better shot to the green than the shorter hitter will have and wi'l restore the balance in favor of ths lengthy hitter on_this hole. Dr. James T. McClenahan, chairman of ths club greens committee, still is considering placing the sixteenth green in a natural amphitheater in the or- chard, and putting the tes for the sey- enteenth hole about 40 yards back of its present location. But this is not a development of this year, Dr. McClena- han points out, even though it may seem to be highly desirzble, from some angles. The job of cutting down the hill at the right of the tenth fairway and filling in the gully over the hill at the’ right has. been completed and the tee shct now may be played well out to the right, from where th: best pitch shot to the elevated green may be had. +ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: ST Tuesday we published a landed between Bloody Poin: LA to be proud of their catch, pounds. thing to eat. tion said “Rockfish Running Wild in the Bay.” were caught trolling by four local anglers who had every reason their fish running from 2 to 22 The caption on the picture was no jest. are running wild, so wild, in fact, that at times they icture of some,wonderful rockfish and Popular Island and the cap- These big fish The rock really will not take any- Last Wednesday the writer visited the Eastern Shore with several of his fishing companions.
