Also in New England is to be played the Brown-Dartmouth contest, representing a stern rivalry that dates back many moons. N the section of the country just below New England, the Middle Atlantic_States, there are the games between Pennsylvania and Cornell. Lehigh and Lafayette, Syracuse and Colgate, and others of perhaps less im- rtance. And the Pennsylvania-Cornell | &mc is typical in importance to_this section to Yale-Harvard in New Eng- Jand. And there is not one of the above mentioned six teams that would not yather win the game mentioned than to have great success during the whole previous part of thelr seasons. As & matter of fact, in some cases it is largely | 2 matter of managing the previous rt of the season in order to be in the best possible shape for the big meeting with the greatest rival.

And at Roanoke the Virginia Military Institute would not care one whit about the games it al- yeady has lost if it could just beat Virginia_ Polytechnic Institute. And over in Baltimore, nothing would create as much good Thanksgiving cheer for Johns Hopkins people as a victory over Maryland. Incidentally, this game be- tween\ Hopkins and Maryland repre- sents one of the oldest rivalries in the United States, dating back to 1892. OWN South are several of the same D kind of contests, representing old rivalries that mean more to the contending teams than any other thing in foot ball. Take Tennessee and Vanderbilt, for instance. The former has not been defeated, but if it loses to the latter a week from the coming Saturday its season will be ruined, or so it will feel. The same condition exists in the ‘Tulane-Louisiana State game, which is representative of about as keen a local rivalry as exists any- where.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 4.—The East has engaged in 65 inter- | sectional foot ball games so far this season and, at first glance at the records, might be inclined to pat itself upon the back for winning 41 of them. But sober second thought recalls that many of these games were warm-ups for major Eastern schools against smaller teams of other sections of the country. Only 26 of the total of 65 intersec- tional battles can be classed as of major caliber. Of these, the East has won 14 and lost 12 against the combined oppo- sition. The Midwest has accounted for most of the opposition victories, scoring eight. The South has won three and the Far West, represented by Oregon, has won one. Of the defeats, the Mid- west has suffered six, the South five, the Southwest two and the Rocky Moun- tain district one. Army, Harvard and Syracuse cach has accounted for two major intersectional victories for the East, the others beng distributed among Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania, Temple, Fordham, Carnegie Tech, | glihoflc University, West Virginia and ale.

Season by season Calland has re- vised spin plays, forward and end runs into formations best suited 1o material he had to work with at Moscows Pass Receiver. “This year the quarterback is only four yards behind the line when the shift is completed, instead of six,” Calland explained. This pufts him in a spot where he can work faster and more smoothly in spinners and similar plays. An- other variation is that every man on the team now moves in the shift. ‘Before the shift the center is out in front over the ball, eight men are along the line, and two are be- hind the line. A movement then makes it possible to have any seven men go up into the scrimmage wall.

Thomas has played in six games this season. He has tried to advance the ball from scrimmage 65 times, not counting forward passes, and has gained a total of 381 yards.

In a re- view of the game Walter Trumbull re- fers to him as a back “any coach would welcome.” Lincoln Werden, who covered the Harvard game for the New York Times, refers to Thomas as “the outstanding player on the field” who “made his presence felt on both the offense and | defense, Together with Lewis Reiss, | Thomas broke up many Crimson ad- | vances, and on occasions when Virginia was attacking he carried the ball with fine results.” ‘The Associated Press report of the | game praised Thomas as “the thorn in Harvard's side” for both his offensive | | and his defensive work. “The Virginia | | leader outkicked the Harvard punters | by 20 yards and after several of his long | boots he outraced his forwards and | brought down the receiver.” SEXTET SEEKS GAMES.

And his method works because Landon has won two out of three and tied one game. z But out of this machine is at least three mighty smart youngsters who are going to move on into college foot ball, no doubt, to show that even a machine | team can produce individual talent. | There is Bill Baker, for instance, a quarterback.

He can let loose for the line and keep going. Landon’s line is just so-so. It is a courageous scholastic wall, but green and experimental in several spots. It lacks polish and is strongest at center, where Riley, a former tackle, has been moved in to plug up the gap. Sands and Gillis are the regular ends, with Martinez, a 120-pounder, in re- serve. The wings are fast and can get down to cover a pass fairly well Andrews and Bride are at tackle. Both are light, even for a schoolboy team, particularly a District scholastic eleven. Edwards and Becker are running guards, the latter weig] about 157 pounds, more weight than any other member of the forward wall, with the cxcentions of Riley, who is 185 pounds, and Gillis, ‘the end, who weighs 165 pounds. Landon’s entire eleven is smaller in stature and less in weight than most of the schoolboy teams in the District. | It is nearest to the average high school | team proportions I have u:n"to date. Flanking the training of the varsity | on one of the Tidal Basin flelds was a group of youngsters around 12 years of age, donned in foot ball regalia and scrimmaging with the solemn studious- ness of the bigger eleven. These boys are the future varsity. Like St. Albans, Landon gives its lower form classes foot ball practice and arranges also for games. | Headmpster Banleld tells me that | the intes shown by the very young students is keen. These boys take their games just as seriously as the bigger | boys and are very adept in absorbing the fundamentals of the pastime. This system has been in vogue at Landon for only three years.
