Of course, should Busiress surprise every one, in- cluding the Stenogs themselves, by Eastern-Central game would tie McKinley for tories and one loss. It was a great keen rivals for years. battle yesterd way of the final period, when Paul Hinkel, fleet right halfbac] on a 30-yard end sweep to a touchdown, it was a fine scrap ri conquering Tech, the victor in the the title at three vic- ay between Central and Western. Though Central went to the front about mid- , got off t down to the last minute, as Western loomed dangerous in the dying minutes. It was the best showing Western surprised somewhat by outplaying Central in the first half. Twice in this half Western menaced the Blue and White goal, once in the opening period, when the Georgetowners, as the result of bad passes by the Central cen- ter, pushed the Blue and White back to the 5-yard line, and again in the second quarter, when it \ achieved the Central 18-yard stripe just as the whistle ending the half sounded. It was a different story in the second | half, however, with Central carrying the fight to the Western team most of the way, except early in the third period, when it reached the Ccntral 25-yard line and in thos: last few moments of the game. Two 15-yard penaities for 10ugh tactics and a 5-yard penalty for offside broke up Central’s scoring threats in the third period, but th> Blue and White continued to storm the alien line until Hinkel finally scored. Then as the game neared its end Western lashed back to carry the ball to the Cen- tral 15-yard line before Ty Rauber’s charges were able to check the sortie. Hinkel Stars All Way. Hinke] was the ace of the Central at- tack, Aside from his touchdown-produc- ing run, that boy who runs the sprints on the Central track team, figured prominently, particularly in the latter part of the geme. It was Hinke! who, after Central had recovered a Western fumble on the laiter's 25-yard line late in_the third pcriod, tock the ball 14 yerds off tackle and ihen two plays later gained 3 more is, to put tac oval on the enemy 3-yard Lne, Capt.

Draper passed to Millard for a gain of 12 yards, and Draper added 3 more yards at the ine. However, Western was given a 5-yard penalty for offside at this stage, and after Brownfleld had made up this yardage the whistle for the half sounded with the ball in Western's pos- session on the enemy 18-yard line. ‘Western contrived to get its attack functioning in high for a time in the third period, but following a drive which was featured by a 35-yard run by Draper, Central held on its 25-yard line and then the Blue and White struck out down the field toward the enemy | goal in vigorous style. It was then that Central saw two fine scoring opportunities fade as the re- sult of penalties. With Pinckney, Cum- berland and Hinkel collaborating in car- rying the ball, the Blue and White reached the Western 10-yard line only to be penalizad 15 yards for holding. Central Gets Going. The Blue and White then came on again toward the Western goal, but again was penalized because of rough tactics. Later, however, after receiving a third penalty, this time one of 5 yards for offside, Central got the ball Lon Western’s 25-yard line. Then Hinkel slipped off tackle for 14 yards and two plays later added 3 yards at the line to put the ball on the Red and White 2- yard stripe as the period ended. Rallying gallantly at the start of the final period, Western succeeded in hold- ing Central for downs with the ball only a yard or so from the former's goal, and kicked. But the Central team in gen- eral and Hinkel in particular was not to be denied and, after one play, this boy glven good interference streaked around left end on his 35-yard run to touch- down.

HERY'LL be no slipshod play, such as has marred the activities of Georgetown's backfield the greater part of the foot ball sea- son, when the Hoyas stage their homecoming-day battle with West Virginia Saturday at Griffith Stadium, if the ball-toting division of the team takes to preparatory drills. From Lou Little down, heart the teaching given it in intensive the coaching staff at the Hilltop is ham- mering away at the backfield in the preparatory work for the Moun- taineer engagement. The line, the line has performed admirably of course, is not being neglected, but most of the time. The backfield, though, has been too ragged to ‘make much headway, and it needs all the attention it can get. So there’ll be no rest for the weary, as far as the Georgetown ball toters are concerned, during the days remaining before the Hoyas’ biggest day at home this Fall.

BY TED VOSBURGH, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 13.—The bootleg foot ball, bane.of the life of gridiron officfals the latter part of last season, ap- parently has vanished from the earth as a result of vigorous ac- tivity against it, reports E. K. Hall, chairman of the national foot ball rules committee. “Not a single instance of use of the bootleg foot ball has come to my at- tention, this year,” said the middle- aged Dartmouth graduate, who finds time to head the foot ball law-making body in addition to his duties as a vice president of the American Telephone & e Tooks as th e s as though we nij it in the bud when we nailed it lzl:,g:dmrce a few months ago by warning all the :mx%:uetl“m! ur;g by making our ations for the official definite,” he said. Il more “I received one wailing letter fromea manufacturer, who said he had a big stock of the bootleg balls on hand, but that was all.” Bootleg Foot Ball Out. “The illegal balls that made their appearance in considerable numbers late last season were designed pri- marily to aid in passing.

It is logically arranged in sharp contrast to the loose and heterogeneous nature of the present set of rules and contain a number of definitions, which are ex- pe prove useful, particularly in enabling the general public to com- prehend the intricacies of the game. COLONIAL FRESHMEN ON TRICK GRID CARD George Washington’s freshman team will meet the Navy “B” eleven Satur- g‘ny at Annapolis under unusual condi- ons. After the Colonials and Sailors have battled a half, the Navy varsity will take on Wake Forest. Between the halves of the varsity game the third quarter of the other contest will be played. Then the regulars will finish, with the final quarter of the Freshman- “B" game ending the program. ‘The Colonials have their strongest freshman eleven in the history of the downtown school. It has defeated the Georgetown Freshmen, 20-0; Mary- land’s “B” team, 32-19; Johns Hopkins Freshmen, 88-0, and Emerson Institute, 23-0, having lost only to the Western Maryland Freshmen, 7-6.

Owens, Western Center, Shows Grit by Playing A rare exhibition of gameness was furnished by Quincy Owens, stellar center of Western High School foot ball team, yesterday in its game with Central,, when he played throughout the contest with an in- fected elbow, refusing to give up, even after the wound broke. Coach Ahern, realizing that Owens had a painful infection, in- formed him that he could play pro- vided he furnished the permission of his family physician. This Owens did not do, but the daughty cap- tain was so keen to play that Ahern finally consented to permit him to get in the game, provided he got permission of a physician of the coach’s choosing.

BY WILLIAM J. CHIPMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 13.—In three of the five games involv- major Eastern foot ball rivalries of long standing next Saturday, victory now seems to be headed toward the standards of the elevens which won last year—Pennsyl- vania, Colgate and Dartmouth—but the other two, Yale and Pittsburgh, ap- | parently have a fine chance to avenge 1928 defeats. Yale remains a slight favorite over a Princeton eleven which at last has gained momentum, and the Pittsburgh Panther expects to win from a Carnegie a touchdown. Princeton once more depends upon the magic of Bill Roper’s voice to fire the Tigers to a supreme effort, but the coach’s words have some substantial backing in the blocking of Barfleld and the running of Ed Wittmer. To maintain its place among the un- defeated and the untied, Pittsburgh must turn its strong offensive into high gear against Carnegie Tech on Satur- day. The Plaid was barely nosed out by Notre Dame, 7 to 0, but also was held to a scoreless tie by Washington and Jefferson, which Pittsburgh de- feated by 21 to 0 last week. Penn Is Favored. Columbia will present a battered front to Pennsylvania, which expects practically to duplicate its 34-to-7 triumph of last season. .~ Without Al Marsters, Dartmouth has no hope of repeating last year’s 28-to-0 walkaway against Cornell, but Dart- mouth neverthless is every another victory over Syracuse, which was turned back by 30 to 6 last season. Lehigh seems strong enough to trim Rautgers in the middle-three semi-final.

Notre Agree: Chicago Contest Should Be Thriller. BY ALAN J. GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, November 13—On the s mngfl established cven 'l takes & trip of 3,000 for , South- team to stop Notre Dame’s rush Satur- day before some 120,000 spectators at Soidier Field, Chicago. . On the also well established fact that Notre Dame, even with Knute Rockne able to direct them only on a part-time basis, has turned out the greatest Hoo- sler array since the “Four Horsemen,” the unchecked South Bend cyclone fig- ures to sweep over the Trojans and on toward a national championship. It is an argument that depends on the point of view;. it won't be settled prob- ably until the ‘dusk settles along the shore of Lage Michigan. But if this in- tersectional battle doesn’t turn out to be one of the greatest of the season, it will not be for the lack of spectacular ele- ments. Views Are Contrasted. Those who like the chances of South- ern California see the Trojans bounding across the country to atone for their unexpected setback at the hands of California. U. S. C. has finished its big- game schedule on the Coast and can “shoot the wosks” against whereas the Hooslers still have western and the Army to Notre Dame, on the eep psyc] ogy of this alone will be a big stimulant to_the Hooslers. 7 ‘Though it may be argued most of Notre Dame’s victims so far have also been manhandled by other teams, the fact remains that Rockne's Ramblers have convineingly disposed of one of has critics. The polish unquestionably - there. Hovsler Backfield Smooth. Notre Dame has a smoother-worl pressed and the punch is backfield array, with Carideo, Martin Brill, Jack Elder and either Savoldi or Mullins at fullback, but Southern C li- fornia has a wealth of fast runners, in- cluding Duffield, Saunders, Musick, Hill and Moses. Don Moses is tabbed by coast experts as “the man to watch at Chicago.” Ineligible last year and out of action earlier in the season because of a broken bone in his foot, Moses is said to have returned to action in fine form. ‘The part that the two strong, hard- charging lines will play in this drama may be decisive factor, however much the spotlight may be on Carideo or Elder, Duffield or Moses.

Western Is Considering Spring Gridiron Drills Western High is seriously consid- ering holding Spring foot gnu prac- tice next year, it has been an- coach Ahern said that the poin reached where it seems imperative that Western get in S, training and more pre-season if it is to pace 1t isn’t that Georgetown hasn't clever carriers of the pigskin. Every one who has seem him in action knows that Johnny Bozek needs no more than an even chance to show his skill at ad- vancing the ball. And the same goes for Jack Scalzi and the flashy Ed Leary, while John Hudak also is a right shifty toter under fair conditions. But none of these fel- lows may be expected to do all the work for himself. That’s been the main trouble with Georgetown’s backfield the greater part of the season. Too much has been left to the man carrying the ball. Inter- ference has been poor. The wing backs have not been functioning properly. And when the wing backs aren’t on the job it's apt to prove rough for the’ball toter. Little Material at Hand, The coaches have bewailed this fault all along and at the same time have bewailed the lack of backfield material from which ibly clever interferers could be developed. They have combed carefully, but found little rangy boys speed and power seem to be few. Those of the physical type fit for the task aj ently were Sso “green” little might be expected of m. ther But recently Coach Little has picked out two or three boys who might make the grade. Foremost among them is a 1ad named Bordeau, & sizable boy who can go. Bordeau still needs a deal of grooming, but he has so greatly proved since the start of the season that it is felt he may be just the player to make the backfield function better than it t has. All of this by no means Is to be taken as a reflection the members of the ey order and assuredly at its this season. Mountaineers No Weaklings. The boys at the Hilltop, like many elsewhere, are prone to lay too much stress on comparative fcot ball scores. They read the story of the 36-t0-0 lick- ing handed West Virginia by Detroit last Saturday and a number imme- diately concluded West Virginia could not be so hot. Probably few of them even g:uud to realize that only four days fore running into Detroit thc Mountaineers had played a scoreless tie with Fordham. Now, beat New York Uni- versity, 26.to 0, and Georgetown beat New York University, 14 to 0. Certainly “out” there for score boys if they are trying West Virginia look much weaker than Georgetown. Assuredly, there’s no un- der-estimation of the Mountaineers by the coaches at the Hilltop. And they’re endeavoring to dissipate in no uncer- tain way any wild ideas the - town team may entertain as to West urday for the coming day tion. Rather, will be an eleven expecting to en- counter a worthy foe, one that will test its mettle in every way, one over which to score a victory would indeed be a fine achievement. numl Four other teams of the Washing- ton area varsity group are to engege in foot ball games this week end, one of them here.
