BYRD. \OMORROW night and Friday night of next week George- town’s foot ball team, in the last games of its home schedule, has apportunities to rise to gridiron heights against two elevens, West Virginia and Mich- igan State, that stand out as ex- ceedingly worthy opponents for any school. Right now the Blue and Gray is concentrating and thinking only of West Virginia, which provides its home-coming attraction, but with Michigan State well up in the foreground. The games should be among the best to be played here this' year, possibly may be the best. ‘West Vlutnh apparently is not as has been regarded as dangerous, and this is true no matter what school it has had as an o] ent.

VIRGINIA RESTS THOMAS Wants Its Star Halfback at Best for Kentucky Contest. UNIVERSITY, Va., October 23— Bill Thomas, the Virginia halfback, who will lead the attack against Kentucky, has been permitted to take things easy this week in order that he may be at his best when the Cavaliers face the Wildcats on Saturday. In the five games Virginia has played, ‘Thomas has had much to do. And he has still more ahead of him in the con- test with Maryland, Washington and; Lee, V. P. I. and North Carolina. Thomas did not appear on Lambeth Fleld this week until Wednesday, and then he was in track togs. He did just enough to warm up.

LYMAN MABOY- Guard ToBY TAVLOR- £nd SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE: Deceptive Scores [OSE judging the full run of the foot ball season by scores to date are bound to receive a number of sudden shocks later on. What may happen in October often has little to do with what may happen in No- vember. Last Fall Yale beat Dartmouth. Dartmouth whipped Harvard, 34 to 7. ‘That was one-sided enough for any one’s fancy. Then Harvard beat Yale in her final game. This is only one sample of what may happen at any time. Some teams start slowly and gain momentum. Others start too rapidly, reach the peak too quickly, and fall away after the manner of the Autumn leaf meeting its first raw wind. Teams lose certain stars through injuries in the earlier games and regain them later on. ‘There are times when a good beating tenn A few years ago 1 was in Urba m when Nebraska beat Illinois, 14 to 0, in an early game. “Now, I'll have a foot ball team,” Zuj sald later that same afternoon. linois won every other game on a hard schedule. Pennsylvania took a terrible beating from Wisconsin. Yet it is quite pos- sible that Penn will be ready to give a powerful Kansas team an even fight on November 1 and furnish even Notre Dame with a lot of trouble the follow- ing Saturday. Harvard may not be quite ready for Dartmouth, but Michi- gan and Yale can look forward to a pair of unusually busy afternoons in Novem- ber. It will make a big difference to Harvard to have Mays and Devens | primed and ready, for they are about as neat & pair of halfbacks as any coach | would ask for. As for Crowds. There are four games Saturday that will draw something like 300,000 specta- tors into the open air, sunny or rain swept. They are Ycle-Army. Stanford- Southern California, Fordham-N. Y. U. and Harvard-Dartmouth. If there was room enough to park the populace the attendance at these four games would run well over 500,000. Applications for tickets to the Yale- Army game were fllled weeks ago. Fordham and N, Y. U. look for some- thing close to & sellout in New York. Harvard’s capacity for 60,000 has been overbid. But out on the Coast the meet- ing between Stanford and U. 8. C. would fill two big bowls. Pop Warner hasn't beaten Howard Jones in three years and it has been a long, long time since any rival carried Pop that long through the bleak trails of the barren Stanford has enough raw power in Rothert and Hillman to crush in the side of a battleship and dplenty of speed with Moffat, Clark and Caglieri, but Howard Jones has had a way of crack- ing up these wing-back phyn before and he may do it again. U.S C. hasa corking pair of backs in Duifield and Mohler and Musick is no slender sap- ling in a gale. Notre Dame and Pittsburgh will play to another 60,000 in another | ywr, nme It took a strong team to t Syracuse—a_ team of ing caliber—and Notre Dame is Ilml g:od for upu:l!y wherever the South d Simoon blows.

A correspondent wishes to know just what Alble Booth’s status is at the cur- rent moment. “He was only fair Georgia,” the letter suggests, “but great against Brown. Was tl because Georgia was so much stronger than Brown?” So far as 1930 is concerned young Booth has two Saturday’s in succession to face that will be quite enough to test the caliber of any star. They in- clude the Army and Dartmouth, two of the best teams in foot ball. Any one who can step against this pair can step almost anywhere. Although it may be difficult to make Georgia believe it after 1929 and 1930. Booth's average so far has been quite high. Last Fall he got nowhere against Georgla, but starred Brown, against Harvard. This Fall he was mth ing great against Georgia, but anotch mlrm Brown again. Now has Army, Dartmouth, Prtneeum md Har- vard still ahead. No one can help but get an answer out of Zuppke and Illinois have been noted in the past for their quick comebacks, but they will need an extra set of steel springs to come back against a strong Michigan eleven this Saturday. Some Quarterbacks. 'HE quarterback supply this season runs above the average. To men- tlon only a few there are Carideo Dame, Baker of Pittsburgh, Do'nl of Gem'[h. ‘Wood of Harvard, Booth of Yale—and the list has only | started. The average has been higher than usual in a lnot where strength is needed. There will be strong additions from the West Coast after this week. Any quarterback who has to call the right play in this complicated modern game has to have at least two quali- ties—he must be smart and lucky. He has to make the first guess. His critics have the second guess, which is alwayas simpler.
