THE EVENING Great Foot Ball for Saturday. GEORGIA FAVORED T0- BEAT OLD ELI Brilliant Exhibition Is Due When Georgetown Meets New York U. Team. . BY H. C. BYRD. HREE intersectional games l and one between two Mid- dle Western elevens, this week should develop some of the best foot ball of the year. And in addition to these, others are scheduled which should rank among the se:nxon'a topnotch struggles. Of the three intersectional games, as far as the East is con- cerned, the battle between Georgia and Yale will take precedence. The Southerners go to New Haven after two straight victories, one at Athens and the other at New Haven, to try to wind up its list of games with the Dark Blue with another triumph. Georgia, it is understood, is not to be on Yale's schedule next year, and, conse- quently, is all the more anxious to win. Georgla Looks Better. Considering what happened last week in the games Georgia and Yale played, another victory for Georgia would not be a surprise. Georgia trimmed Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute 40 to 0. and the latter is supposed to be excep- tionally strong this Fall. Yale won from Maine by three touchdowns, and nobody, by any stretch of the imagi- nation, could class Maine with V. P.' L In other words, in their opening games Georgia apparently was con- siderably stronger than aYale. Of course, all this may be reversed when the Athens team steps on the field at New Haven, but Georgia has a team of veterans, vh'tu{'llly L e eleven that whipped Yale last year. Minnesota goes out to the West Coast to play Stanford, and that should be just as good a contest as the one in Which Georgia meets Yale, although in this part of the world it will not as important. Stanford has had two tough Saturdays already, having been tied by the Olympic Club and having just whipped Santa Clara by one touch- down. It really is a bit early for a game of this kind, especially when one considers the distance to be traveled. CVARNEGIE TECH leaves the Western Pennsylvania section to play Geor- gla Tech, at Atlanta, in the first game in which the Plaid has ever appeared that far down in Dixie. In fact. Car- negle’s excursions below the Mason- Dixon line in any sport have been few and far between. Southern people are anxious for Georgia Tech to win, to atone somewhat for the 31-to-0 defeat sustained by the Atlanta eleven last r at Pittsburgh. e ndoubtedly what should be the best strictly sectional game is that between Northwestern University and Notre Dame at Chicago. Northwestern nearly always has a powerful and versatile eleven and against Notre Dame usually is at its best. Some of the greatest games played in recent vears have been between these two universities. In fact, his contacts with Northwstern led the Jate Knute Rockne to say that “Dick Hanley, Northwestern coach, Is the craftiest man in foot ball.” UTSIDE of these games, others are O scheduled which should stand out in the day's activities. Right here in Washington the Navy hooks up with Maryland in what ought to be one of the most attractive contests ever played in this part of the country. And Georgetown, not to be outdone, travels to New York to engage New York Uni- yersity in what probably will be a bril- liant exhibition. Out in Pittsburgh the University of Pittsburgh meets west Vir- ginia in their annual setto,-a-setto in which the figurative fur always flies. Purdue is to face Illinols, Dartmouth entertains Holy Cross and Primceton tries conclusions with Brown in other games of real merit. ‘While Navy is playing Maryland here, the Army me‘ex\‘; Michigan State College 2t ’W(st Pol and it may be that the Soldiers will not have such an easy time getting away with the long end of the count. ‘To te! the truth, it would not be & particularly big surprise if Michigan State were o take the Army’'s measure, and that ‘gaid with full knowledge of the Veul’ll’; ‘ material in the Army line-up and l‘: Army strength. If Army beats Mich- igan State by & comfortable mntlr_l wone need doubt that Army has & pow: erful eleven. Mills, while naturally proud of m;“fim because of its victory ove‘: ‘Western Maryland, nevertheless {;eed that a good deal can be accomplis] - in improving the offense, e.specnnymn blocking. Mills is not satisfied with ; way his offense clicked Saturday ln“ he is working' this week to improve wveral Ways. ’nkfill& realizes he is going up against one of the hardest teams in the country when he faces New York University Saturday, and is leaving no stone un- turned this week in his efforts to get his men keyed up to their highest effi- clency. N lI'F.ED DAWSON, Virginia's new foot ball coach, personally is just about as fine a chap as one would run across in a lifetime. And not only is he of the type that usually is termed a “man among men,” :u& he is an ex- lly good coach. “l;l':ro‘nlg does his former record show that, but his present work with the Virginia squad is certaln jndication of his worth. Dawson is not being hur- ried in his work with the Virginia play- ers, but is developing them along sound s, ‘m“;irflml’n eleven last week against Maryland played the soundest foot ball that any Cavalier eleven has shown in years. He should make Virginia an ex- ceptional man.

James, Central High Product, Will Play for Navy in Game With Maryland on Saturday SHERMAN (BUCK) JAMES. SHERMAN (BUCK) JAMES, JR., a regular tackle on the Navy foot ball team, which' faces University of Maryland in their big game here Saturday in Griffith Stadium, is a Hyattsville boy and the son of the cashier of the Citi- zens' Bank of Riverdale. Prior to entering the Naval Academy James was graduated from Central High School, where he played foot ball and was a member of the track team, earning his letter in both sports the first year he tried for the teams. This was in 1927, his last year at Central,’ when he was an all-high selection as tackle in foot ball. There was nothing flashy about his gridwork, but he gave a consistently dependable exhibition that caused Hap Hardell of the rival ‘Tech team to characterize as one-of the best forwards in school- boy circles of the District area. James was in the game every min- ute of every'contest in the high school series. ‘The following Spring he won his letter in track. Despite that it was the first year he ever had tried hurling the javelin, he -BOCPM out to toss the stick 143 feet 7}z inches to win in the public high school title meet. James comes by his athletic abil- ity naturally, His father played cen- ter and quarterback on the Central High eleven in 1888, and his uncle, Al Howard, though one-armed, for- merly was District singles champion in tennis and is a golfer of 'way above the average. An interesting sidelight on James' gridiron career was that he and Everett Cross, watching the Central eleven play in 1926, determined they were not only going to try for the team the next year, but were going to make it. Not only did James see this resolution through, but Cross §lso made the team. James not only plays foot ball and tosses the javelin, but he is a bang-up lacrosse player and is cap- tain-elect of the Navy twelve. He was regarded as the backbone of the Middies’ defense the last stick sea- son. He played at first defense. He also is adept in other branches of sport, being a capable basket ball player and an exceptional swimmer. CAVALIERS’ DEFENSE ENCOURAGES DAWSON Virginia Coach Says He's Satisfied | and Looks for Improvement in Sewanee Game. UNIVERSITY, Va., October 6.—Fred Dawson, Virginia's head foot ball coach, | s well pleased with the play of the liers against Maryland's veterans Saturday. And he is looking for- ward to still better play in the games to come with Sewanee and Virginia | Military Institute. | “We have made a fine beginning.” | said Coach Dawson as he talked over the problems of the game with his | charges. He had much praise for Mary- | land’s team which he regards as one | of the best balanced elevens he has seen in years. He thinks the Cavaliers showed marked improvement over their | play in earlier games to be able to hold the Old Liners to a 7-to-6 score. Virginia’s next problem is to get ready to play Sewamee and V. M. I | both within Ave days. The Tigers from Tennessee come here Saturday. Then on Thursday, October 15, the Cadets come here to help in the dedication of Scott Stadit DE MELLO REPLACES — JANKOWSKI AT C. | Gets Permanent Berth as Result of Recent Gains—Pyne to Be | in Line-up Friday. | Oarl (Porky) De Mello, doughty little Catholic University ball carrier, has| earned the right halfback post on the Cardinal eleven as & result of his re- cent performances, it was announced today by Head Coach Dutch Bergman, John Jankowski, who started the sea- son at the post, has failed to come through as expected. Not only has De Mello been impres- sive as a ball toter, but his blocking has improved and he has done some good punting. Danny Pyne is among other former second stringers who will be in the C. U. line-up that starts against Gal- laudst Friday lflernoo%,ln the Brook- land Stadium. Pyne, a Washington boy and a former Gonzaga High luminary, may be shifted from end to guard in the near future in view of his strength and driving power. TIP FOR FISHERMER. HARPERS FERRY, W. Va. October 6—The potomac and Shenandosh Riv- ers were clear this morning. Speed Essential, In Mills’ Opinion By the Associated Pre EORGETOWN'S foot ball squad includes 11 players who tip the beam at 190 pounds or more, yet the Washington team that will start against New York University won't average much more than 175 pounds. The answer is that Coach Tommy Mills believes in speed first and size afterward. CARDOZA, ARMSTRONG GRID MATERIAL GOOD Teams Likely to Be Formidable Contenders for Colored High School Title. Cardoza and Armstrong High Schools will, according to indications, be in the thick of the fight for the District col- ored high foot ball title this Fall. Both have formidable squads.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 6.— The Navy first team is drilling this week with the “D” squad bearing names of the Maryland line-up and executing Old Line plays. The Jayvees appeared with the names of Chambers, Berger, Woods and Pop- pelman, pasted across their chests. However, judging from the opinions of Navy athletic authori- ties, the similarity exists in names only, as the regulars tore great holes through the opposing line in practice yesterday, scoring practically at will. The only unfavorable comment brought back by Navy scouts who viewed Maryland in action Saturday was the large number of fumbles made by the Old Liners. Johnny Wilson, head scout of the Navy forces, reported that the team in every other respect looked like a major opponent for the Annapolis boys. It is thought that the College Park players will overcome their fumbling tactics by Saturday and give the local eleven one of the es on their schedule. Your Old Felt Made New Again Factory Methods. Vienna Hat Co. 435 11th St. Every one of the Navy players emerged from last Saturday’s opener without a scratch. Navy's ailing list Wwas reduced to zero with the return in uniform of “Lou” Kirn, who has been out of practice a week and was not used at all in the opening game. The coaching staff frankly expresses the opinion that the Navy backfield ::1]1 be doubly effective with his re- urn. Joe Tschirgi, Jaek Denny, Jack Campbell and Kirn ran in the Navy backfield in yesterday’s practice and :hey were hitting on all six cylin- ers. .

Georgetown and N. Y. U. have been victorious in their early-season games this year. The visitors have turned back Lebanon Valley and Western Maryland, while the Violets routed Hobart and West Virginia Wesleyan, both. by wide margins. The N. Y.
