THE EVENING STAR, WASHI \ GTON, D.. C, THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 1931 SPORTS College Foot Ball Teams All Over Country in Difficult Games This Week End Doughty, Whose Kicking Upset Hoyas Twice, One of Veteran KEEN RIVALS MEET IN MANY MATCHES Georgetown,Maryland Among: Elevens Slated to Face Important Foe~. BY H. C. BYRD. OLLEGE foot ball teams all over the country this week plunge into some of their most difficult contests. From the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian line down to the Gulf, elevens are scheduled to line up in what are likely to be as closely and fiercely contested struggles as will be played at any time during the season. And in several cases games that smack of intersectional fiavor are to take place. The three big California elevens all may have their hands full again. Last week Southern California went down to defeat, California had a narrow squeak and Stanford was tied. This | week the outlook is not for anything so very much better. California plays St. Mary's, which whipped Southern Cali- fornia; Stanford meets Santa Clara, which' almost defeated California, while Southern California hooks up with Oregon Aggies, always a rather hard nut to crack. Some of the Middle Western schools engage in what are close to intersec- | tional games, Nebraska being due to play at Northwestern, Iowa to enter- tain the University of Pittsburgh and | Mis to meet Texas at Austin. Any one of these three games should take rank among the best of the season. Minnesota also takes on a team from afar when the Oklahoma Aggies jour- ney up to Minneapolis. Indiana has Notre Dame at Bloomington in a game that will be watched with a lot of interest, largely because people want to | daily scrimmage started. He has been (o to 6, last Saturday and tomorrow's see what effect the loss of Rockne may | laid up with a “Charlie hcrse,” but will | game should furnish something of an have on the South Bend School While its sister institution is playing Missouri, Texas A. and M. goes to New Orleans for a meeting with Tu'ane This is likely to be a contest in which the fur flies, as both stand out amcng the best teams in that part of tne In there are not so v teams anywhere. OUTHERN CONFERENCE schools go after one another in a way that indicates Southern schools are not bothering about waiting for the latter davs of October for their big con- tests. Since South Carolina whipped Duke last week, the game that school | is to play with Georgia Tech at At- | lanta takes on rather an important aspect. Last year the Atlanta school won by a wide margin, but Billy Laval, South Carolina coach, believes he has one of the strongest elevens in the section. He s expecting to give Geor- gia Tech all it is looking for in the way of a real battle. Another game that should tax both teams is that between North Carolina and Vanderbilt. Actually this prob- ably brings together two of the five or six strongest elevens in the whole South. The chances should favor Vanderbilt, but North Carolina may turn a trick that may surprise the Nashville school. Florida makes a trip to Raleigh to measure strength with North Carolina State and Tennessee tries conclusions with Clemson. One South Atlantic eleven goes to the far South for a meeting with Georgia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute having the trip scheduled. The V. P. I. men are likely to meet defeat, al- though they may show better than is generally expected. Virginia comes up to College Park to face Maryland, ‘Washington and Lee plays at home with Davidson and Virginia Military Institute is slated to beard Wallace Wade's Duke eleven in the Durham Stadium. The week end will be featured in the North by the opening of schedules by four of the big Eastern schools. Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Pennsylvania. Yale plays Maine, Princeton meets Am- herst, Penn has Swarthmore for an op- ponent and Harvard has Bates. All the other schools along the Atlantic Coast line have easy games, except Forcham, which meets West Virginia in New York. AVY begins its schedule Saturday with William and Mary. deal of in Midshipmen, because of the new system | under which they are playing. And, incidentally, because the team plays here next week. It was felt just & short while back that Navy might have its hands full against William and Mary, because the latter was expecting to have about the strongest team it ever turned out, but the showing of the Wil- liamsburg school so far has nct indi- cated such strength. Navy always has won_its opening game and it believes it will do so again this season. While Navy is meeting William and Mary, Army will be playing its second game. Knox College is the next op- ponent_for the Soldiers and probably it will be whipped just as badly as Ohio Northern was last week when it made the journey to West Point. OACH TOM MILLS yesterday be- gan to get his Georgetown team down to some real practice in de- fending against Western Maryland plays. The Blue and Gray mentor has nothing to go on, as Western Maryland has not been in a game this Fall, other than what he remembers was used acainst him last season. However, Mills does know that a good coach makes very few changes from year to year and that basically Georgetown will meet the same type of offense that 4t went against in Baltimore last season. In talking to his men vesterday, Mills did not mince words about what he expects from Western Maryland. The Blue and Gray players will have to give | their best to win, as Mills thinks that Western Maryland is just as strong as it was in 1930. In other words, Mills tells his squad that the Georgetown | team must be just as much stronger to win as is measured by margin by High power in your motor - HABANELLO MELLOWNESS | |and then may change it on Saturday. which it lost last season, and then some. No definite starting line-up has yet been given for Georgetown. Mills, as a matter of fact, is somewhat un- decided just what he will do in regard to the men to start. Several avenues of action are open to him and he may not make up his mind until Priday, HERE is a strong possibility that | Gene Stevens, who was a halfback for Central High School two years ago, will be in the Virginia backfield Saturday when it lines up against Maryland, Stevens ha€ been a starter in each of the two games Virginia has played so far, and h2s been one of the main ground gainers. Virginia probably will bring here one of the heaviest teams in the South, or | | anywhere clse for that matter. That | certainly will be true so far as the line | is concernsd. Both tackles weigh well | over 200 pounds, both guards go over 210, and the center is just a little under | 190. The backfield is nct as heavy es the line, but there is enough heft be- hind the forwards to give the necessary drive. Games between Maryland and Vir- ginia always have been close, with the exception of one, in which Virginia won by 21 to 0. Last Fall Maryland was victor by 13 t 6, and the year be- fore that the game- a tie, 13 to 13. MERICAN UNIVERSITY and Gal- laudet are getting ready for their opening games, both on foreign fields.

Western con- | quered the Purple last season, 7 to 6, but Gonzaga is figured to turn the | tables tomorrow because of having & more experienced squad. | Central, which defeated Baltimore | City, 6 to 0, last Priday in its first | game under Bert Coggins, new coach. is expected to find_John Marshali plenty tough if the Richmond eleven is as strong as 1t is usually. ECH, which has trounced Baltimore Poly and Handley High of Win- coester, Va., in its starts to date, is figured to have a bang-up chance to get back at Episcopal for previous grid- iron setbacks. The Alexandria school- boys downed McKinley, 26 to 13, last season, but Episcopal does not appear so formidable this year and Tech has plenty of good material. Eastern went down before Episcopal, idea as to the comparative strength of the Lincoln Parkers and Tech. Business took a 32-6 walloping from Swavely last season and doubtless will take another licking tomorrow. The Stenogs apparently again are destined | to have only a fair eleven. Emerson and St. John's are booked for games Saturday to close the week': scholastic card, the former being down for a go with Gettysburg Academy at Gettysburg, Pa. and the latter for a tilt with Mount St. Joseph at Baltimore. GETS BACK GRID STARS Western High Is Happy Payne and Teehan Return. A ray of sunshine beamed down on | Coach Dan Ahern and his Western High School squad when it was learned that Billy Payne and Turk Teeham, | former line regulars, have returned to school. Payne was a regular end and Teeham held down a guard post. Both are said to have been placed in the backfield by | Ahern, MARYLAND PARK AHEAD. ‘ Maryland Park High School scored a 6-to-2 victory over its alumni team yesterday in a soccer game.

While Washington State, cham- pions of the Pacific Coast, will be sorely handicapped this Fail by the graduation of five fine backs, George Sander, its brillians passing_back, and Mentor Dahlen and Wilbur Luft, a pair of great quarterbacks, are 'dependable. ~The line will be built around Glen Edwards, an All- American_tackle nominee last year.

Election of Paul Tangora, former | Devitt Prep grid player, as captain of | the Northwest University freshman foot ball team was announced y@sterday. ‘Tangora, a tackle, was rated one of [ the best players ever to be turned out at the Wisconsin avenue school N YOUR CIGAR R LRy sity of California of Los Angeles at home Saturday. But a week hence it plays Southern California, a game that will have much to do with its ranking this Fall. Its coach, O. E. Hollingberry, always develops a strong running attack. So look out for this play this Saturday. ‘The ball is snapped to No. 3, who drives straight ahead inside his right end (5), back (4) leading him to cut down the defensive full. Back (2) helps his right end (5) dispose of the opposing left tackle. ‘Wing back (1) takes out the de- fensive left erid. The opposing left guard is double-teamed. Left guard (6) goes through to cut down the other close-up defensive back. This paves the way for a gain of three or four yards. (Copyright, 1831.) Terrors to Invade Saturday P FLOYD DOUGHTY. ‘ESTMINSTER, Md., Octo- ber 1.—When the Green ‘Terrors, undefeated since the middle of the 1928 foot ball season, swing into action against Georgetown this Saturday in Washington five of the men Who played against the Hilltoppers in last season's 10-to-0 victory in the Baltimore Stadium will again be on hand. Capt. Pincura, tackle; guard; Lamb, center; Doughty, half- back, and Koppe, fullback, are the players who helped form the line-up for that 1930 contest. Kleinman, who played right end in the '30 game, still is on hand, but he hasn't been named to start. This means that Bates, Benson, ‘Wilker, Ekaitis, Wellinger, Clary, Lawrence and Brubaker—who per- formed in the 1930 game—will be absent. Benson, Clary and Brubaker were lost because of scholastic difficulties. Going back to the 1929 campaign, the first year Western Maryland up- set the Blue-and-Gray machine, the Terrors still have three men on this year's team who took part in that 7-t0-0 victory. Doughty, Pincura and Barnett gained their spurs in that Georgetown argument. It was Doughty and his educated Barnett, 'Mrs. Haynes Wins In Upset at Golf HILADELPHIA, October 1 (#).— Three upsets enlivened the opening of the golf tournament for the Berthellyn Cup at the Hunt- ingdon Valley Country Club, the casualties being Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, Edith Quier and Mrs, Helen B._Stetson. Mrs. Vare, five times national champlon, lost to Mrs. William A. Johnson, 2 and 1. Miss Quier fell before the steady stroking of Mrs. J. Marvin Haynes of Washington, D. C., who won, 2 up. Mrs. Haynes was able to enter the tournament only after winning a play-off against two others who qualified as she did with 91's.

Then Bates grabbed a pass and romped over for the orly score of the game. But it was Doughty and his kicking that caused all the misery in the Hill- toppers’ ranks, It was Doughty's kicking also that played such a big part in the Ter- rors’ second win in the Monumental City last Fall. He has the knack of booting the ball far and to places where hands cannot be placed upon it. NORTHERNS START UNDER NEW COACH Joe Sweeney Takes Charge of Squad Tonight—Game _ With Celts 0ff.

By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 1.—Nary foot ballers put on a good demonstra- tion of what they can do in a defen- sive way vesterday when they forced the B squad back time after time dur- ing an hour's scrimmage Coach Rip Miller worked on his ends, giving Smith and Elliott the call over Born and Pray by virtue of their work during the afternoon. The varsity was not allowed to demonstrate what it could do on the offense, but made the second-stringers lose ground with the ball. Navy hopes and expects to get by the game with William and Mary Saturday without showirg its full hand to | “snoopers” from Maryland, which will be met in Washington the coming week end. At the same time, Navy scouts will be the guests of Maryland at College Park while the Old Liners are tackling Virginia, hoping to see more than Byrd's charges displaved against Washington College in the opener.
