STRETCH CONTESTS - MAY ADD TO GLORY Five of Them to Figure in o Hard Games on Foreign Fields Tomorrow. BY H. C. BYRD. OCAL college foot ball teams are coming into the home stretch of their 1930 sched- ules. All have reached the point where the finish line is just ahead, and all are striving might- ily to cross it with a record upon which later they may look back at least without regret. No matter. what happens during the last 50 yards of the race, two or three of the teams have already done things which should afford them much satis- faction during the Winter, while two or three are in the position of the run- ner who has only the consciousness that he has done his best. And, after all, that perhaps is just as valuable to the competitor as victory. Georgetown has three more games, - the most important tomorrow with New York University, but win or lose in these remaining contests, ‘i‘cf rl:gnmét“;;eo:a it ic] an mmm:ug:mc‘ollm cannot be taken away from it.

'EW YORK, November 14.—A committee of citizens which has been negotiating for a foot ball game between Army and Navy for the benefit of the unemployed, expressed the belief today that efforts would be suc- cessful. 4 ‘The committee, headed by Grover A. Whalen, former police commis- sioner, wired the newspapers: “It is believed it will be a mere matter of hours until the playing date can be arranged.” The contest would be held und:r the auspices of the Salvation Army. See Army-Navy Game Certain New' York Committee Believes Academies Sure to Agree to Contest Date. Maj. Gen. W. R. Smith, superin- tendent of the Military Academy, telegraphed the Naval Academy yes- terday the suggestion that bn;: teams g.me. but that they were scheduled play the University of Pennsyl- vania on December 6. He suggested Noyember 20 or December 13. Some newspapers expressed doubt that the contest would be bheld, pointing out that Army plays Notre Dame in Chicago on November 29 and that December 13 would conflict with West Point mid-term examina- tions. The teams broke off their rivalry in 1927 over eligibility dif- ferences and have not played since. Conference ' BY EDWARD A.

H Gonnfi!t. John's and Georgetown | Prep, which, though located at Gar- rett Park, Md., is considered a member of the prep school group, meet in various sports, but none of these schools is engaging Devitt and Emer- son. Just why this is we are not sure, ! but it probably is because the students at Devitt and Emerson are regarded as too old for those at the other in- stitutions. Devitt and Emerson even do not meet. Both schools doubtless are over- looking a bet here. A Devitt-Emerson foot ball game would prove a bang-up attraction. ‘This Gox a-St. John's foot ball game at Griffith Stadium tomorrow Yale game of Western New York, and it annually fills the big Syracuse sta- dium.

It should a fine game, and, because of the rivalry engendered, will draw a good crowd, but how it can be used as a means of determining a prep school champlon we cannot figure, since nei- ther Gonzaga nor 8t. John's meets either Devitt or Emersen nor Georgetown Prep, for that matter. Conditions in other sports are the same. There is no way to really figure prep school champion. It may be ga‘n!uc impossible to. get all the schools ther in this respect, but certainly it would be a fine thing for scholastic athletics in the District if it could be worked. Perhaps then the prep achool ublic high school could matched. Regardless of what it means in a championship way, the battle between | Gonsaga and St. John's tomorrow should be a wow. The Kaydets with an eleven that while light is exception- ally clever are figured to have a real chance to take Gonzaga, which is shy on seasoned material. St. John's is hot after a win as Gonzaga has n.anded it fine lickings the past two years. Gonzaga generally plays at the top of its game against the Kaydets, howcver, and ‘is apt to provide the stubbornest sort of opposition. Comparative scores may mean noth- ing, but they are undeniably interest- . Central, La Salle Institute -of Cumberland, Md., and Georgetown Prep have been met by both Gonzaga and St. John's, The Kaydets' showing against each has been more impressive. Here are the scores: Central 7; St. John’s, 6. Central, 12; Gonzaga, 0. La Salle Institute, 7; St, John’s, 0. La Salle Institute, 32; Gonzaga, 0. St. John’s, 7; Georgetown Prep, 0.
