EWISBURG, Pa., November 6.—A | herd of ambitious Bucknell | Bisons, anxious to overcome | Geor~etown tomorrow, left here for Washing.on at 8:55 this morning. They will reach the Capital at 3:20 and will go through a short limbering up drill, Although there are several minor the squad appcared in oet- ter physical condition than at any time since the opening game.

Heydrich also appeared ready to go through a full game. The Bisons recognize that in poten- tial strength the Georgetown eleven is | one of the best in the East. They know, | therefore, that they will have to be at | the height of their game if they are to remain among the East's unbeaten teams another week. This is the first year Bucknell ever has been undefeated when she reached her November schedule, and the 1931 team is anxious to carry on. The full squad was taken to Wash- ington. The party of 29 players, coaches, trainers and managers will establish headquarters at the Racquet | Club. They will return to Lewisburg Sunday morning.

Business foot ball team had high | hope of conquering Central today in | its public high school title game in | Central Stadium and gaining its first victory in the series since 1927, when | it conquered Western, 6 to 0. Inci- dentally, the same year the Stencgs battled Central to a 19-19 tie, but Business used ineligible players and in | accordance with a pre-game arrange- | ment the contest went to Central by | forfeit. Both Business and Central were to | start this afternoon with combinations | weakened by the loss of scholastically ineligible players. In other matches this afternoon in- volving District schoolboy elevens Lan- don and St. Albans were to face on the latter’s field and Gonzaga's undefeated eleven and Swavely at Manassas. St. John's managed to check a last- half Devitt rally and defeat the latter, 12 to 7, yesterday at the Tidal Basin. Mike Scanlon scored for St. John's | in the first quarter, taking the ball over | from the 20-yard line, while Joe Cul- linan registered for the Cadets in the second perfod, going across from the 15-yard stripe. Scanlon's touchdown | came on a reverse play and Cullinan’s | on a triple pass A pass from Bradley to Maeyer with | the latter stepping 5 yards brought | Devitt’s touchdown in the third quarter | | Devitt threatened to score again, but | the Cadets sent several first-stringers | back in the game and halted the foe.

BY R. D. THOMAS. AY POPPELMAN may be the most respected ball carrier on the Maryland team when the undefeated Old Liners meet Vanderbilt at Nash- ville tomorrow, and somewhere in this broad land is a foot ball au- thority who might be embarrassed if minded of the fact. He said Poppelman never would become a first-class foot ball player. That was three vears ago when Poy pelman came to Maryland fresh frcm the Marine Corps, with which he spent a year as a scrub. “I'm sorry, tco, because he’s a great kid, and has a lot of the things that go into the making of a star,” said the man who had watched Pop- pelman’s efforts to make the Leather- neck team. He told Curley Byrd, the Mary- land coach, that Poppelman, fast, smart and a well- knit 172-pounder, was cursed with an inferiority delusicn that appeared incurable, “He'd be a great back if he'd think himself one,” summed up Byrds informant, Ray Poppelman. S a freshman at College Park Pop- pelman showed enough, but little more than enough, to make a varsity regular prospect. Physically he was fearless, but the foretold mental = kink showed up. He made the varsity grade as a soph- omore last year, but was like a man treading uncertain ground and wary of & hidden menace. Byrd agreed with the Quantico ob- server. The lad had everything but confidence. In mid-season last year, the Mary- land coach determined on a bold move, designed t> make Poppe]lman an honest- to-goodness gridironer or possibly breek | him altogether. He made him quarterback, of all things. ND quarterback he is today, on one of the smartest and finest teams that ever wore the Gold and Black. The kill or cure medicine was . Poppelman, literally forced to believe in himself by the (apparent) confidence of the man who above all others should best judge of his ability, went after things in a different spirit. He learned, among other things, to be unafraid of mistakes—nothing ven- tured, nothing gained—and toward the end of last season Poppelman probably made more real progress than in all his preceding gridiron experience. 'O bring matters up to date, Poppel- man has suddenly blossomed into a ground-gaining sensation, wherc be- fore, or until a few weeks ago, he shared about equally with Maryland's several other fine backs the glory of advancing the ball. In the last two games he has gained more than 300 yards. Against V. P. I. last week he clicked ‘This followed a performance against V. M. 1. in which he totaled approximately 160 yards. These two splendid exhibitions against worthy opponents redeemed Poppelman for the many fumbles that | marred his early seascn efforts and which almost_cost his team a couple of victories. But his rise to stardom— the Terrapin at this moment is the outstanding gridironer hereabout—must mean much more to Poppelman than foot ball glory. ‘Teachers of the game are forever harping on the lessons that one learns on the gridiron that bear with a fellow through_life.
