Tough Road Is Ahead of Virginia Poly : East Has Share of Strong Grid Teams MANY STARS L0ST, HAS NEW COACHES May Go Well if It Can Get! by Tarheel, Vandy Tilts | in Creditable Way. BY H. C. BYRD. | IRGINIA POLYTECHNIC IN- STITUTE has a real job cut out for it in the first three weeks of its foot ball sea- son, meeting, as it does, in its sec- ond and third games, teams that are picked to run one, two, in the | South. October 4 the Blacksburg | eleven entertains North Carolina, and it does not take any stretch of imagination to understand what that means. On October 11 the team journeys to Nashville to play Vanderbilt, and that means aboi't the same thing. Ii v. P. I gets by these two tests with any degree of success it may feel confident about its prospects for the remainder of the season. The first game V. P. I is to play is with Roanoke College at Blacksburg October 27. That should be something of a set- up, and can be used as a preparation for the two that follow, but the next two Saturdays are likely to present plenty of problems for the new coach- ing staff, made up of Orville Neal and Lny{e Clark, who formerly played half- back and end for Western Maryland College. North Carolina last year beat V. P. I, 38 to 13, and, whatever V. P. L may think, the Tarheels expect to du- plicate the performance, although pos- sibly by not such a big margin. e Blacksburg eleven has not played Van- derbilt in recent years, but will run into about as hard and high-grade foot ball as it is likely to hit anywhere. Thes> are the hardesy spots in the schedule, the remainder of which fol- lows: October 18—William and Mary at Richmond. October 25—Davidson College at Davidson, N. C.

Xm Gobblers won their Vir- season. ginia and Washington and Lee games last year by big margins. This Fall the squad is practicing under a new Dsflysum of play. In general aspects the offense the team is working under plays very similar to those which Gustafson used last season, but, at that, there is enough difference to indicate some difficulty forathe players in the change-over. The type of defense will be considerably different. Orville Neal, head coach, is an experienced man, He played a year at York College out in the Misso ey, then went into the Marine Corps, where he played three or four years. From &he Marine Corps he went' to Penn State, where he was a member of the freshman team, but left there in the middle of his ‘freshman year to enter Western Mary- land, where he was a star. Last year he was assistant coach and did a good deal of scouting. He knows foot ball and should make out well. Has Strong Nucleus. Neal has under him a squad some- ‘what depleted r{eom ;llt h‘nsdbug -c;u possesses a nucleus for & eleven. He has back neither of last year's ends, but it is unlikely that either will be missed a good deal. And in all prob- ability the backs who were lost will be replaced by men just as capable, and in | at least one instance by a back even more capable. Tomko, Rule, Rice and| McEver are the backs who wound up their careers, while Gray and Hubbard, guards, and Pattie and Nutter, ends,| are the linesmen who are not back. | Phil Spear, a really fine back, and| picked by many last year as one of the outstanding backs in the South, isin uniform again, as are Owens and Hooper. Spear is not very heavy, but Owens and Hooper carry plenty of weight, around 190 pounds each. Ott- ley, Hardwick and Hagerty are three backs from the reserve squad who should be heard from. All four tackles from last year, Ritter, Green, Stark and Swart, are back, as are Brown and Wimmer, centers. Jones, who took Hubbard’s place when the latter broke | his ankle, is doing good work. In ad-| dition to these letter men several other members of the squad, either from the | second-string outfit or from the fresh- | :lln of last Fall, are playing good foot | ‘The freshman team of last Fall was exceptionally strong and boasted sev- eral men ve the average. There are three 200-pound tackles from the | {reshman team who are making the varsity players from last season step lively. They are Grinus, Murphy and Seamon.

NNAPOLIS, Md., September 11.- An old city experiencing a new thrill. That was Annapolis as | | it awoke this morning to find | | itself the speedboat capital of the Nation. | To realize that something unusual was | transpiring one did not have to be told | | that the President’s Cup regatta will| | open here tomorrow at 1 o'clock. | Beginning to take on a regatta at-| mosphere last week, when several boats from distant points arrived, Annapolis suddenly discovered its water front | tecming with racing boats yesterday and its hotel lobbles alive with owners, drivers and officials last night. | Speedsters ranging from tiny out- boards to the costly cup class craft were arriving by automobile trailer, train and water all day yesterday. From the North, from the Middle West, from the Far South and from the Pacific Coast they came in. Each new arrival was directed to the Naval Academy yacht basin near the Reina Mercedes. The Reina will serve | as the committee boat for the racing | tomorrow and Saturday. Capt. Giles in Charge. There, at the foot of the wharf to which the old Spanish War survivor is | moored, Capt. William Giles, command-} ing the Reina and representing Rear | ‘Admiral S. S. Robison in the affairs of the Maryland Yacht Racing Association, | took charge. If a driver wanted to have his boat lifted from thestrailer and set into the water for a tune-up run, there was a big crain to do the work and nearby a fleet of floats as & base of operations. But that wasn't all that was going on around the harbor yesterday and this morning. Standing on the sea wall beside the long shed where are housed the more expensive boats of the Presi- dent’s Cup, the Secretary of the Navy's Cup and the 151 classes one could see| some new white buoys & quarter of a| mile or so out in the direction of the mouth of the Severn.

The Coast and Geodetic experts also surveyed the triangular sailing course and aid out a mile straight away. The sailing course, they announced, meas- ures 7 and eight-tenths miles. Fine Field in Prospect. Last night at Carvel Hall visiting| speedboat owners, drivers and other en- | thusiasts, including members of the| RC-2, were complimenting the Mary- land Yacht Racing Association and| redicting one of the best fields in mel glxtury of speedboat racing in the| United States. Several expressed the opinion that the racing here will sur- ass that seen at the other two big- ime regattas, the Gold Cup regatta at Redbank, N. J., last month and the Detroit event, which followed shortly afterward. Richard Loynes of Long Beach, Calif., owner and driver of the record-holding cup boat, Californian, and the 151 class hydroplane, Miss California, pointed out that the race for the President’s Cup ought to be & much better contest. | Kelly of Eastern _Optimistic In Spite of Lack of Veterans UST one letter-winner of the 1920 Eastern High foot ball team is available, but is Coach Mike Kel- ley down-hearted? Not a bit of it. On the contrary, the genial tutor figures he may be able to turn out a creditable eleven. He points out that while he has lost a flock of experienced huskies and most of his present squed are decidedly shy on seasoning they e a hustling, willing bunch, and sev- eral are showing real promise. They're sll in there fighting for jobs,” said Kelley today. “Those who show the most will get them.

Charley Mades, guard, is the 1one |injyiy received ihe other day while | modore Eugene McDonald Trophy race regular remaining from last season. Toby Taylor, Calevas, Pinetta and Well all backs, also are some others figured to_show well. Brother acts always have gone over big at Eastern, and it may be that a couple of brothers also may figure prom- inently on the gridiron for the Light Blue this Fall. The Wade brothers, Kenneth and Melvin, are those in ques- tion. They look not at all bad. The huskiest member of the squad is 16-year-old Bill Taylor. Bill makes the scales groan with his 195 pounds. He has a lot to learn, but in time may develop into a capable gridder. Eastern’s losses by graduation include Millar, McCullough, Jimmy Hayden an Oxley, backs, and Jenkins, Tom and John Nally, Montague, Chester Miles, Moffet} and Chamberlain, line stalwarts. For the first time since he became coach at Eastern Kelley has a squad | containing only players trained entirely | by him. Heretofore he has had to work | | with boys trained by the popular Chief | | Guyon. director of athletics. It will be | interesting to see how Kelley fares un- | | der these conditions. | | An operation and the death of his fa- | ther were recent hard blows to Kelley, | but he s fast regaining his strength. | A group of former Eastern grldd-u‘ are assisting in conducting the drills They are Max Miller, McCarthy and immy Montague.

For three years the popular Bananas who received the name his first day in school when- he was noted eating the fruit in the school dining room by Charlies Millar, has watched his schoolmates disport on the gridiron.

Cohen figured he could not make the team, but he wanted to help and so he toiled day after day. A_big, good-natured boy, with a smile for everybody, he is determined to make his letter in foot ball this vear if he can possible do so0. This is his senlor year, so it it now or never with him. A host of friends are pulling for him. | | ARMY MEDICOS BOOK GAME WITH CELTICS To Play in Alexandria, Where Grid | Pastime Is Fast Bearing in on Base Ball.

Pitt | started hard work at Camp Hamilton some time ago. Fortunately the Panthers begin the season with four veterans in their backfleld. The versa- tile Eddie Baker, captain, will again play quarterback. In addition to this splendid backfield _material Ptit is fortunate in having Franklin Hood, for- merly of Bellefonte Academy, and said to be one of the longest forward passers in the country. Sutherland is fortunate also in having some excellent line material. Missing from last year's team are nsa, half back; Montgomery and Dimeols, guards; back. The two players last named were stars whose positions are hard to fill. For the first time since 1912, Pitt meets Notre Dame in what has every promise of being one of the most excit- ing games of the season. HE University of Pennsylvania's progress will be watched with real Interest by every fan in the East. Penn’s new head coach, Lud Wray, has already shown he means bueiness by the way he has taken hold. ‘The Quakers started practice at Cape May, N. J., immediately after Labor day, and from all accounts should have a strong team. Penn plays a back- breaking schedule, including Notre Dame, University of Kansas and Wis- consin, ending December 6 with the Navy on Franklin Field. The Penn backfield should be particularly strong, with Capt. Gentle, Masters and Charley Greene as a nucleus.

Seven of last | year's team have returned, but from all accounts several of the regulars are having to fight hard to retain their po- sitions. Little is assisted by Arthur Sampson, head coach at Tufts for the last three years. HE prospects at Harvard are en- couraging. ‘The Crimson has done more with the lateral pass than any team in the East in the last two years and this style of attack will no doubt play an important part in Harvard's offense this Fall. It is rumored Harvard has even better backfield prospects than at this time last season, though it will be difficult to find a better defensive and interfering back than Wally Harper. Wood doubtless will fill his old position at quarterback. Last Fall he was the best forward-passer in the East. ‘The Harvard coaches have a line problem, however. Dick O'Connell and Jim' Douglass, regular ends of last year, are through, and it is doubtful if Vic Harding will play any more foot ball be- | cause of the injury he received in the Yale game last year.

W. J. Clear of the Washington Golf and Country Club had a bright idea the other day. He had bought a few clubs from Dave Thomson, the Washington pro, for which he owed Davie something between $25 and $30 Clear is a man with s ing blood in his veins, and so is vie. In fact, | little Davie, the popular pro at Wash- | ington, sometimes leans & bit too far | back to give the other chap a breax | But this time Clear proposed that they play for the money, on a double-or- nothing basis, with Thomson to give the amateur three holes on each nine.

They played the first nine holes ex- actly even, with Clear hanging on like grim death and Davie struggling to | break loose from that big handicap. | | When the captain won the tenth hole | | with a par 4 and thus became 4 up with | | 8 to play, alded by his handicap of | three holes in the last nine, Davie took | another notch in his belt, pulled his| | cap down low over his eyes, and pro- ceeded to blast that golf course wide | open with the most phenomenal string | | of birdies ever witnessed at the Wash- ington layout. | Davie did nothing less than play the | | next four holes in consecutive birdies, | | and then, drawing level with Clear, he | coasted home to an easy victory. In- deed, the little pro took a brace of 5s on the seventeenth and eighteenth and still played the nine in 32 strokes, which is three below par. At the eleventh the Scot holed a putt for a birdie 2. At the twelfth he got a birdie 3. At the thirteenth he got an- other birdie 3. At the fourteenth he holed another birdie 2, and perhaps the reason he didn’t get a birdie 4 cn the long fifteenth was because he didn't need it to win the hole. Anyhow, he just breezed in to win the match from Clear, and thereby prove again the truth of the old golf adage: “Don’t bet your money against a pro- fessional, and particularly if he comes from Montrost 'HEY put on a great show out Indian Spring last evening. Tak- ing advantage of the cool weather, some 400 members and guests of the club played golf, enjoyed a barbecue dinner and then sat on temporary bleachers to witness some 20 rounds of boxing, topped off with a battle royal, described by Announcer Jimmy Lake as a “collision of Senegambians.” And how they collided. They chased each other around that ring, socking pro- miscuously until finally the lad repre- senting Chevy Chase and the boy from Manor decided the ring was too re- stricted for their combat and they jumped the ropes and proceeded to say it with socks under the feet, of the spectators. They were separat by a bucket of cold water, but meanwhile the other boys left in the ring thought the party was over and forgot to fight. Finally, after the referee had vainly up the hand of Jim King, bandy-! n{uz Indian Spring caddie, who shown more willi to mix than the others, and Jim got the 10 smackers the club had put up for the prize.

He told how Bobby McWatt had worn a steel hat in ihe trenches for four years, had served through the war without a scratch, and then had been so badly hurt in an tomobile accident that he never will play his beloved game of golf again. “Come out, folks,” Joe said, “and help a fighter fight his greatest battle. The show alone is worth $2, for you won't see Jones in action again this year, un= less you go to Philadelphia. Spend $2 to give Bobby McWatt a ccmpetence, 50 he will never have to worry about his family again.” The match will start at 2 o'clock, next Tuesday afternoon, at the Columbia Country Club, with Jones and Roland MacKenzie opposing Fred McLeod and MacDonald Smith.

'HOSE same lightning-fast putting greens which brought consterna- tion and dismay to more than & hundred competitors in the Bannock- burn tournament awaited the balance of the field who started today in the final half of the qualjication round in the club’s annual invitation event. So fast that the man who goes for the hole frequently has a 6-foot putt left after the approach putt, those lightning putting greens baffled most of the com< petitors yesterday. Today's fleld will not find the going any easier. Although the men who start md-l, on the whole, are considered a bit bet- ter as golfers than those who played yesterday, the card of 74 made yesters day by B. H. Burrows of Rock Creek Park may stand up for low score today. Among the starters today were Harry G. Pitt, Albert R. MacKenzie, John C. Shorey, Roger Peacock and William P, Di Este, any or all of whom are capable of breaking 74. But will they do it over that fast course? The golf com= mittee has made playing a little easier by announcing a rule permitting the piayer to tee up anywhere on the course, but even that plece of generosity does not help the putting. Burrows put together two fine shots to reach the twelfth green in two, and then holed the putt for an eagle 3. He captained the Washington team in the recent public links championship at Jacksonville, Fla. The ulty of the course was attested by the fact that only five players turned in scores under 80, and club officials predict that a score of 80 will be needed to qualify in the first flight today. Entrants with ndicaps of 8 or less must qualify in the first flight. Due to the handicap qualification restrictions, many of the contestants did not turn in their cards. Jesse Baggett of Beaver Dam was sec- ond to Burrows with a card of 77. of the other bouts were interesting, but the crowd thought there was a bit too 22 ERIES — VULCA Baggett also tied for low net with J. B. Haron, who shot 81—12—69. NIZI Make our modern Super Station at Connecticut and Nebraska Aves. your headquarters for Fall and Winter service on Tires, Batteries, Gas, Oil, Greasing, Vulcanizing.
