SPORTS. Local Collegiate Foot Ball Teams Face One of Roughest Weeks of Campaign ONLY HOYAS SEEM SUR OF TRIUNPH Other Four to Play Either Tonight or Tomorrow to Have Tough Sledding. BY H. C. BYRD. OCAL college foot ball teams, L with the possible exception of Georgetown, are due for| a wild week end. And it is| more than possible that tomorrow night when the unscrambling takes place there may not be many laurel wreaths adorning the brows of the young men who make up these elevens. About the only | one of the five teams scheduled | for games tonight or tomorrow that would seem to have a dis- tinct edge on its opponent 1is Georgetown, but_injuries to play-| ers there have Coach Mills wor- ried so much that he should sleep a lot better tonight than last night. George Washington and Georgetown play tonight, the former with Tulsa University here and the latter with Dugquesne University at Pittsburgh. The Colonials lost to Tulsa last season by two touchdowns to one and they feel they have no better chance to win than | y had then. However, considered cn a basis of the result of last year, it would seem that they not only have a chance to win but_pretty close to an even one. It would not be a surprise if the local eleven winds up with the long end of | the score. | Admittedly, George Washington is | better than it was last year, and if Tulsa has not improved quite 50 much, then the result may favor the local echool. ‘Then, another thing, it was George Washington which last year made the long trip to Oklahoma, and a jump like that takes a good deal out of a team. Tulsa will have a good foot ball team on the field and George Washington will have to play better foot ball than it has shown so far if it is to ‘ win, - ENTUCKY comes here today to meet Maryland tomorrow afterr.oon + The visitors last week whipped Washington and Lee, 45 to 0. and noth- ing more than that'is needed to indi- cate what Maryland is up against. Kentucky confidently expects to take the long end of the score. Were Mary- land in as good physical condition as when it faced Navy it might have an even chance, but unless a remarkable improvement shows in its players be- tween now and tomorrow it will have the short end of the odds. Kentucky's team will be followed to- morrow morning by a special train of Kentuckians, accompanied by a band, who are coming here for the game. 'NDER ordinary circumstances Georgetown would win from Du- quesne by three or four touch- downs, but with the condition of his| team not at all good, Coach Mills is not so confident. Mills said before leaving that he thought his team much better than Duquesne, but that in its present condition _anything might happen. Injuries have several of| Georgetown’s best men on the shelf.| However, the chances seem good, de- | spite injuries, for the Blue and Gray | to bring back a scalp.

Appropriate ceremonies will mark the opening, and Coach Youx:g hopeg that he can come through Wit % vic‘ory to celebrate the occasion, al- though he realizes full well that such flairs often are attended by a sound whipping. Witness what happened at Charlottesville yesterday.

The Brooklanders are laying special stress on that contest, as they feel it will mean much to them to win. NIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA seems to be going backward instead of forward in the development of its eleven. Yesterday against Virginia Military Institute it played about the | worst foot ball any Virginia eleven ever has plaved at least in recent yecrs. The Cavaliers storted cut fairly well | but just before the end of the first half, after they had scorsd a long fleld goal, | V. M. I got a break and wound up the half with the count 6 to 3 in its favor. In the second half Virginia virtually was helpless, while V. M. I. played heads up foot ball all the way. Especially in the second half was the comparison between the two elevens very marked, if a comparison could be made between an eleven that played re- markably good foot ball and one that just did not seem to care what might happen. And any body that takes this Virginia Military Institute teem for a sr‘t,uthflxd has a good foot ball team, heavy. rangy and fast. In fact, rgainst Virginia yes- terday the Cadets played just about as good foot ball as any V. M. I eleven | ever has played. Just a_few minutes before the ‘end of the first half the Virginia team dropped a place-kick between the up- rights from the 30-yard line, which was the closest it ever got to V. M. L’s goal line. When V. M. 1. received the kick- off after that placement, “Stumpy” Travers, who is just about as round as he is tall, caught the ball on his own 10-yard mark and from there dashed almost unhindered down the sidelines to Virginia's 15-yard mark. A short forward pass along the sideline and Gill, left end, was on Virginia's 7-yard mark. A fake weak side play and the ball was on Virginia's 1-foot line. A line drive failed, but on the next play Waite dived across. V. M: I started an offensive in the third quarter and finally tossed the ball across for a_touchdown from the 12- yard line without a Virginia man within | ‘The | 20 feet of Gregory. the receiver. fourth-quarter touchdown was made when Travers intercepted a forward pass and ran to Virginia's 8-yard mark. | On three plays the ball was driven across. The foot ball game itself was hardly a success from Virginia’s point of view. However, ‘everything else was. The big, new stadium was dedicated before a crowd of perhaps 11,000 with inspiring | ceremonies. Former Gov. Harry Flood Byrd made the presentation address on behalf of Frederic W. Scott, donor, while James H. Price, lieutenant gov-| ernor, accepted it on behalf of the uni- versity and the State. The stadium is a beautiful job and Virginia is to be congratulated on hav- ing such a structure. Its foot ball de- feat meant nothing, except that it dampened the ardor of Virginia people for a day, while the stadium means a new era for Virginia athletics. OME of the biggest games of the year in the South are scheduled tomorrow. Besides the Kentucky- Maryland setto at College Park, Van- derbilt and Tulane, Georgia and North THE EVENING NINE GRID GAMES CARDED IN LOOPS Del Ray and Dixie Pig Clash Headlines Heavy Sandlot Bill on Sunday.

Any one of these may determine that, as a mat- ter of fact, because these are the schools | rated at the top of the Dixie foot ball | heap. Georgla must win from Carolina if it is to stay in the running, while any eleven that is whipped is as good as out of the race. Vanderbilt and Georgia generally are regarded as the two strongest elevens, with Tulane, Ten- nessee and Alabama almost on a par for second consideration. However, Tulane is stronger than is known by most people, according to a | foot ball man visiting Charlottesville yesterday. ~According to him it would | notsurprise if Tulane knocks Van- derbilt off its perch. North Carolina people say they have little chance against Georgia, The surprise team of the conference this year may be Auburn.

October 16 (#).—Sat- urday's game between Fordham and Holy Cross will bring foot ball relations | between the colleges to an end at least | temporarily, Jack Coffey, Fordham's graduate manager of athletics, has re- vealed. They have not been able to agree upon & suitable date for a meeting in | 1932 and Michigan State has been given the place formerly held by Holy Cross on the Fordham schedule. YALE FOOT _BAL" PAYS. Agree on | NEW HAVEN, October 16.—Foot ball | continued its reign as a million-dollar sport at Yale during 1930, netting a prefit of $300.456.92. which was used in wiping out deficits incurred by less lu- crative sports. Chasing Pigskins Chicago to meet that university as a | special honor to Stagg, Princeton faces Cornell, and Harvard goes to West Point to meet Army. Most important, in the general foot ball view, of these is the Harvard-Army game. It will be Har- vard's first Teal test under its new | coaching system, and it will be Army's aim again to whip the Crimson. A victory for Yale will mean much to Middle Western alumni of the Dark Blue, while if Princeton can defeat Cor- nell ‘the victory should take from its meuth a good deal of the dark brown taste left there last week by the Brown- men Another big E'stern game is that be- tween Columbia and Dartmouth at New York. Columbia is hoping to wipe out | the memory of that one-sided score by | which Dartmouth won from it last | season. | One of the stronger Southern elevens goes North for a game, Florida at Syra- cuse. The odds favor Syracuse, el- though some mxum'n people think cl C Your morning shave is badly shopworn at midnight” *T'M not trying to sell razors or razor blades. I don’t shave and I don’t give testimonials. But I'd like to tell you what I think of men who don’t shave carefully. I believe my opinion really means something because I’'m a hostess in a night club and we girls must take them as they come. So we learn as much about men in a week as the average girl learns in a lifetime. “Of course it really doesn’t make much difference to me, but you'd be surprised at the number of men who think their morning shaves will last until midnight and later. Along about 11 o'clock they’re nobody’s bargain and I wouldn’t dance with them if I didn’t earn my living that way. “My experience has taught me that a man can’t be attractive along about the time the milkman starts delivery, unless he takes a clean shave before he steps out for the evening. And speaking of milkmen—what I've said doesn’t apply to night club customers alone. Most men aren’t as particular about shaving as they should be. To get along with women a man should be clean shaven all the time.” Yes, few men shave as frequently or carefully as they should. Until now shaving may have been a somewhat disagreeable task. Now Gillette is manufacturing a fine new razor blade that can be used morning and night without discomfort. It never irritates or roughens the tenderest skin. Every blade is equally keen. Tty the new Gillette orf our guarantee. Buy a package and use a blade or two. If you don’t agree every shave is cool and pleasant, return the package to your dealer and get your money back.

The program developed most rapldly in the East, where thres games or tour- naments already have been definitely booked and others are in the making. Army and Navy will play in the Yankee Stadium here December 12 for charity's | sake: Yale, Brown, Dartmouth and Holy Cross will' compete in an_elimination tournament at New Haven December 5, while Princeton, Pennsylvania. Colum- bia and Cornell will be competitors in A similar_tournament in the Yankee Stadlum December 9. ‘That, for the time being, is the East- ern program, but a game between Prov- idence and Rhode Island is considered a virtual certainty and a number of schools, notably Rutgers and Davis and Elkins have made known their willing- ness to participate. Willilams, although opposed to post- season games, was expected to devote a | part of the proceeds of a major game to the unemployment relief fund. In the South, Tennessee's volunteers have lived up to their name by indi- cating their willingness to play for the | fund. Mississippi A. and M. also an- | nounced it would be available ard others probably will follow. ‘The Big Ten Conference still has the subject under consideration, although that powerful group already has amended its by-laws to permit exten- sion of the season from November 21 to November 28 for intraconference games for charity, Dayton of Ohio is another volunteer from the Midwest. The Big Six members—Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Okla homa and Iowa State—are known to be in favor of post-season charity games, but the conference, as & group, has as yet taken no action.

HICAGO, October 16.—There Is a lurking suspicion on Chi- cago's midway that Amos Alonzo Stagg is about due for another upset victory, and that Yale will be the victim Saturday on Stagg Fleld. Stagg’s first surprise triumph was accomplished in 1905 when his Ma- roons defeated Michigan's great eleven, 2 to 0. More recently he came up with the famous 21-21 tie with Illinois in 1924, and his last was a 15-to-8 victory over Princeton in 1929. He fol- lowed up with a 26-t0-7 dazzler over the University of Washington the same season, but failed to connect last year. So, they believe on the Chicagy campus that Yale is making its first trip into the Middle West just to take a beating. For the occasion the “Old Man” has wrought & new offeaise, in which Yale' tackles probab!, will get a good work- out and r-sses will be used frequently. He hn- nad every member of his back- fleld squad on both ends of the aerial game and with considerable success. He has not neglected the Chicago defense, having gone so far as to pre- pare the freshmen teams in_entirely different systems. Adam Walsh, cap- tain of the famous 1924 Notre Dame, is the Yale line coach, and the Irish style of line play has been used by one set of yearlings, The Michigan | forward passing system has been used | | by another freshmen team to educate the Maroons on what Benny Friedman has taught Capt. Albie Booth and the rest of the Yale backs. The Yale squad was due in Chicago this afternoon in time for a drill cn | Stagg Field. The Maroons will use a nearby practice field. Plenty of foot balls will be in the air at Madison, Wis,, if Purdue and Wis- consin do es expected. Both elevens have been heaving the ball all week and unless the weather prevents, an air bat- tle is almost certain. Michigan and Ohio are ready for their struggle to remain in the Big Ten | champlonship race. ‘The Wolverines | | will spare nothing against the Buckeyes, | as the rest of their schedule does mot | | appear tough. Ohio has had consider- | able hard luck through injuries, but will | | have its best elevens since 1926, on the field at Ann Arbor. Towa's prospects were brightened yes- terday when Randahl Hickman, regular quarterback, returned to practice and demonstrated he will be in there throw- ing against Indiana. The In- diana squad left last night for Iowa City at full strength for the first time of the season. Northwestern continues to think more about the Ohio State game a week from Saturday than of the California (Southern Branch) game this week, and Notre Dame is planning | lon taking Drake in stride. Minnesota will be idle this week, but is winding up | | for the Jowa game a week hence. | Alexandria Notes ALEXANDRIA, Va, Tony Ruocco, pllot of the Iroquois A.

While the statement did not identify the sport in which he took part, it was | known that Lillard played semi-profes- sicnal base ball with the Gilkerso - ored Giants Sl The action ended a “gentlemen’s agreement” under which Northwest members of the conference had ignored semi-professional base ball activities on the part of their athletics. Some of those attending the meeting were of the opinion that several out- standing athletes could be declared in- eligible with rigid enforcement of the conference rule.
