S PORTS HOYAS, HIT BY INJURIES, BATTLE DUQUESNE FRIDAY Navy Leaders Accept Defeat ‘as True Sportsmen. Miils Pays Tribute to N. Y. U.—G. W. Faces Tulsa Here. BY H. C. BYRD. HE University of Maryland I has no time to rest on the laurels it won in its'victory over Navy Saturday—not with the University of Kentucky just in the offing. Kentucky is due here Saturday to play Mary- land at College Park, and indica- tions are that it is what it has been the last three or four years, one of the strongest of the big Southern elevens. Despite Mary- land's defeat of Navy, Kentucky probably will be favored to win. So far Kentucky has taken part in twp games, and won both easily. Its first was a set-up, but lts smeshing 45-t0-0 defeat of Washington and Lee | is sufficient indication of what Mary- land must face. In all probabulity Kentucky will be considerably stronger v, notwithstanding that it has in the limelight as far as local newspapers are concerned. Early this Fall Kentucky was picked as one of the five strongest teams in the South, the others being Vanderbilt, Georgi: Tulane and North Carolina, and it ap- parently is making good the estimate then held of it. Maryland came through the garhe with Navy in surprisingly good shape. With the exception. of a few minor bruises and some stiff muscles, the Old Liners are in just as good condition as when against the service school. Which is remarkable, in view of the rough, hard play throughout the whole contest. However, it was clean play, and in that type of game, no matter how hard and savagely the teams drive at each other, injuries seldom are sustained Kentucky has scouted Maryland in all | three of the games played by the loca! school and it probably has a good line on the offense and defense it must face. Kentucky is the school that Maryland beat out in the final game for the Southern Conference base ball cham- pionship in the tournament at Atlanta last Winter. G* with New York University in just about as pcor shape as it could be almost. Both its left halfbacks are on the shelf with injuries, one of its full- backs, Bradley, has a broken collarbone, and several of the other players are in such condition that Coach Mills may have his troubles bringing them around in time for the game with Duquesne University at Pittsburgh this week. Un- der ordinary circumstances Duquesne would be rather easy picking for George- town, but as things stand right now the Blue and Gray may encounter a lot of trouble. Coach Mills has only praise for the New York University eleven. He says he doubts if it will be defeated this year. “New York University has a great team, the greatest it has ever had. It was better than I expected. It won from us because it was better than we were, and I doubt if any of its oppo- nents will prove strong enough to take its measure.” While Mills had no alibi for his team's defeat. a Georgetown supporter who went to New Yoik for the game says that Georgetown Wwas not nearly so badly outclassed as the score would seem to show. According to this man, George- town made 15 first downs against 17 for New York U, but did not click in its ground gaining at the right time. Some of the scoring of the New York team in the second half was due to desperate tactics on the part of Georgetown's of- EORGE WASHINGTON is back from Boston with another scalp at its belt and will spend this week getting ready for its first big game here, 1o be played Friday night with Tulsa University of Tulsa, Okla. ' The Colo- niels went down before the Tulsa eleven last Fall at Tulsa by two touch- 'ORGETOWN is back from its game cowns to one, but believe they have an | even chance to win this time. It was not thought that Boston University would prove strong enough to beat the local eleven, and it did not. George ‘Washington played a much better brand of foot ball than the Beantown team and deserved its victory. Catholic University has no game this ‘week, but will spend the time making special preparations for its battle with North Carolina State College at Raleigh next week. The Brooklanders will give a lot of time to their workouts for this particular contest, feeling as they do that to set down a Southern Conference eleven would add considerably to their foot ball prestige. American University plays High Point eleven here and Gallaudet goes to Lang- ley Field to meet the Air Corps team, 1t is hardly probably that either of the two local schools will be strong enough to win, 'HE Navy puts up a great show at a foot ball game. Interest in what it does in the stands and along the sidelines is almost as great as in the game itself. Saturday, when the regi- ment of midshipmen marched into Gri! fith Stadium and actually <lled the grid- iron with their ranks, they presented a spectacle well worth a long trip to see. And between halves their card displays in the stands, when by showing bright- ly colored cardboards they brought out in relief such features as the Maryland flag, not only was unusual and beauti- ful, but & tribute to somebody's technic and creative ability. Something more: it would be almost unfair were a brief word of praise not spoken for the fine sportsmanship and attitude of those who manage Naval Academy athletics. It was not an easy game for Navy to lose, vet immediately after it was over Capt. Wilcox. Comdr. Hall and Head Coach Miller paid visits to the Maryland dressing room to ex- tend their ‘congratulations and to say “We did our best and gave you all we | had. You deserved to win, and you won fairly. offer, and you have our heartiest con- gratulations.” Not an element of the “alibi” spirit in that attitude, but plenty of that element of sound strength which distinguished real men. And there is no wonder that | the Naval Academy. under the direction of such men, stands out as one of the world’s finest institutions of its kind, Southern ~ Conference schocls that went North Saturday to show their foot ball wares in competition with big universities in that section fared well— too well, in fact, for the comfort of their Northern brethren. Georgia took Yale's measure by the most decisive score by which any Southern school has ever whipped the Dark Blue; Vanderbilt trimmed Ohio State. 26 to 21, and Alabama Polytechnic Institute tied Wis- consin. It was thought that both Geor- gia and Vanderbilt had good chances to win, but it was not expected that Auburn would so do well. However, it was reported from Auburn some time ago that prospects there were very bright for an exceptionally good team. ASHINGTON AND LEE took a de- cisive drubbing from Kentucky. The Gener21s were unable to make eany headway against the representa- tives of the Blue Grass State and ap- parently could not op Kentucky { they first went on the field | We haven't a single excuse to| | backs.

INNESOTA made a gallant stand against Stanford out on the Pa- { cific Coast, but succumbed in the | 1ast stages by two touchdowns. The | long trip and warm weather probably | did not do the Gophers ary too much good. While Yale was taking & whipping from Georgia, Princeton was not _doinz | much better against Brown.

In the two intersectional games played in the South honors were drawn. | Texes A. and M. trimmed Iowa, but Georgia Tech went down before Car- negie Tech, 13 to 0. Out on the Pa- cific Coast Bill Ingram's California eleven was a victor over the Olympic Club of San Prancisco, which earlier tied Stanford. Pennsylvania and Cornell took their games without much trouble, the for- mer beating Franklin and Marshall and the latter taking in University of Richmond. Pittsburgh defeated West Virginia by a surprisingly big margin. Michigan and Purdue were the most noteworthy victors in the Western Con- ference, the former whipping Chicago, |and the latter Illinois. The last men- tioned seems to be considerably weaker than usual. VIRGINIA TO HONOR FORMER LETTER MEN Foot Ball Players of Other Years to Be Guests Thursday at Stadium Dedication. !

That was one shock on the day’s bill of fare. And out of that skirmish came as tough a tackle as the customer will see on this side of a dock fight. He is Krajcovic, a big boy from Spar- rows Point, Md., who blocks with boat_hooks and tackles with javelins. He was every place on that field, but in Gov. Ritchie's lap.

It indicates the boys are doing something besides chattering when they think they have been clipped on the sideburns.

BY DILLON GRAHAM, Associated Press Sports Writer. TLANTA, October 12.—The busi- ness of selecting a Southern Conference foot ball champion starts in earnest this week, with Vanderbilt facing Tulane and Alabama meeting Tennessee. These teams, with Georgia, form the Dixie “big five.” The Vanderbilt-Tulane game at Nash- ville next Saturday and the Tennessee affair at Knoxville are toss-ups. but Georgia should win from North Caro- lina at Chapel Hill. Georgia’s third straight win over Yale by a score of 26-7 was the outstanding victory of the week end. A fine offensive netted Vanderbilt 26 points in the first half, but the Com- modores had to call on all their defen- sive tactics to stave off Ohio State’s fine comeback in the last two quarters which brought the Big Ten team 21 points. Big Game Scoreless. North Carolina and Florida fought to a scoreless tie in the most prominent intraconference game, although Caro- | lina threatened on several occasions. Tennessee swamped Mississippi, 38-0, and Alabama rolled over Mississippi A. and M, 53-0. Tulane gave its reserves plenty of exercise in beating Spring Hill, 40-0. Sewanee'’s 3-to-0 field-goal win from Virginia came something as a surprise. Louisiana State won its first circuit game from South Carolina, 19-12. Kentucky backs ran wild to beat Washington and Le®, 45-0, and Clemson nosed out North Carolina State. 6-0. V. P. I beat David- son, 18-6. but V. M. I. was held to a 13-13 tie by Citadel.

Cit | In Opening PACHES, District semi-pro champs, put on a stirring 0-to-0 fight yesterday with the Irvingtons of Baltimore in the opening game of the newly organized South Atlantic Foot Ball League in Griffith Stadium. Both made scoring gestures in the second after an even battle in the first. In the last moments Apaches made the most serious threat of the game when they got to the enemy 6-yard line, the result of an 80-yard drive in which the accurate passing of Gene Murphy, for- mer Catholic University gridder, was a feature. Shortly before the Little Indians put on this march they were forced to re- pulse two Irvington sallies. One car- ried to the home team’s 10-yard line, where Marvin Meyers, Apache back, brought down Reds Campbell after a 60-yard dash. Again it was Meyers who saved the dn}; tercepted a rival forward pass on the Apache 10-yard line.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, October 12.— Most of the Nation’s lead- ing foot ball teams put aside intersectional tests this week in favor of a little home work.

Big Six: The annual clash between Kansas and Kansas State heads the week's program. Oklahoma and Mis- sourt play intersectional opponents, the former facing Texas at Dallas and the latter meeting Colorado University at Boulder, Nebraska and Iowa State have open dates.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. October 12— That the Alexandria Fraters are going to prove a difficult problem for their rivals this year was indicated yesterday when they swamped the Wolverine A. | of Washington, 39 to 6, at Baggett Park as play in the Capital City Un- limited League got under way. A baffling aerial attack with Lester McMenamin tossing _the pigskin to Dennis, Luckett, Cabell and Reid proved | the main source of annoyment to the visitors yesterday and placed the ball in scoring positions on practically every occasion that the Fraters' crossed the goal line. The aerial climax was reached when McMenamin passed 40 yards to | Luckett for a touchdown on a “sleeping nd” play. McMenamin's punting was sensa- tional. Two games will be played here by Capital City League teams next Sunday The Fraters will entertain the Mercury A. C. in Baggett's Park, while Del Ray will be host to the Dixie Pig A. C. at Edward Duncan Field. | BOUT ON AIR TONIGHT WJISV and WOL Arrange to Broad- | cast Sharkey-Carnera Scrap. | A blow-by-blow description of the Jack Sharkey-Primo Carnera prize fight tonight at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, N.
