Sports News e e e Catholic University HOYAS RATED EVE WITH WEST VIRGINIA | Have Best Chance to Annex Major Game Since Early Season Tri-:mph. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY | against St. Francis tonight | at 8:15, Gallaudst tomor- row morning at St. John's and Georgetown with West vir-i ginia tomorrow afternoon make; yp the week end of gridiron com-| petition for local colleges. C. U.| and Georgetown piay their games | at Clark Griffith Stadium, Gallaudet goes to Annapolis. In the contest tonight Catholic Uni- versity hardly knows what kind of a| team it is up against. It is known that 6t. Francis has ip its line-up one or two chaps who formerly played good foot! ball at other colleges, and the Brook-| land coaches are somewhat at a loss to understand just how strong the visitors | may be. Certainly, if the other mem- | bers of the team are up to the caliber of two, then they should be quite for-| midable. | Coach Bergman said this morning that he felt his team ought to beat St. Francis, provided that school is not than it usually is. “But, of went on the Brooklanders' if it is a whole lot stronger hen nobody cau tell what may happen. I believe that we ought to be as good as we have been in any other contest this year.” EORGETOWN'S game with West virginia should be one of the best this season. As a matter of fact, for brilliance of play it should stand in a class by itself, as far as contests this week are concérned The Hilltoppers | and West Virginia always put up inter- | * esting fights, and some of their games have been productive of about as good play as one sees anywhere. Coach Tom Mills is firm in the belief that his men have the best chance to win from the Mountaineers they have had to capture a_game since they met Western Maryland in the second contest of the season. His players are in much botter physical condition than at any time since the season opencd, and with improved physical ccndition goes im- proved mor: The West Virginia squad is dues to come to Washington today in automo- | biles, discarding the traditional night | railroad ride from Morgantown. Word | from Harry Stansbury, director of ath- | Jetics at the Morgantown institution, | brings the information that West Vir- ginia is in good shape and ready for the | tough battle it usually gets in its games Stansbury seldom commits him- | ebout anything. but does far | ‘that he expacts to swe a | d-fought struggle with a possible | deciding the issue. 'TANLEY, who has been hurt since practice at Rehobeth Beach, ¥ start his first game for George- town. He got in a few minutes of the contest with Bucknell, and did so well that Mills figures he cannot afford to | let him stay om the bench at the be- ginning of any contest. Especially is this so, since Stanley is a good punter, & department of play in which George- town has been sadly lacking. In recent years Georgetown and West virginia have met five times, their mod- ern series having begun back in 1926. That year West Virginia was victor by 13 to 10. The following year Ge town won, and in the whole five years each team has won twice, \Al_'ulc m:z game ended in a tie. Georgetown hopes fomorrow to get the edge in the serics. EORGETOWN, while it has been a consistent loser since early in Oc- | fober, nevertheless has plaved some | fine foot ball, far better foot ball than it will ever get credit for. Such a game as it put up against Michigan State, notwithstanding Michigan State won b}' one touchdown, should produce victory. ‘Gallaudet hardly has much chance to beat St. John's. The Kendal Greeners go to Annapolis to face more experienced players and a much heavier team. It may be, of course that they will show a much improved brand of foot ball and do a lot better than is looked for. Down at Quantico Jast week they played exceptionally Well, losing to the strong Marines by | two touchdowns to three. —In other| words, that game at Quantico showed that Gallaudet is coming along. N the whole. South foot ball eyes are centered on the contest tomorrow at Athens, Ga, between Georgia and Tulane. No contest in Dixie in years has excited so much conjecture and comment. Teams that have met both Georgia and Tulane seem to feel that Tulane should win, but picking any eleven to beat Georgla is risky business. At least, Georgia’s record so far indicates that. According to those who have watched both elevens, men who shéuld know what they are talk- jng about, Tulane has a more aggres- sive line and a much stronger scc- ondary defense than Georgia. One coach told the writer a short while back that Tulane has the best sec- ondary defense he has seen in years, and remarked that “when those men tackle they tackle and the ball carrier just stays put.” That kind of tackling is hard to beat under any kind of con- ditions, even when one team is much stronger than the other. It seems to be the general thought that the eleven that wins will be accorded the South- ern _title. If Vanderbilt whips secms to be no doubt that the victor in the Gecrgia-Tulanc game should be the title holder. Of course, Vanderbilt has not yet whipped Tennesee, and Tennes- see is strong, as was shown by its 25-t0-0 defeat of Albama. Vanderbilt people think they have a good chance to beat the Volunteers, and if they do win it will be their first victory in their big gare in four years. From a Van- derbilt viewpoint, nothing could be bet- ter. 'WO Southern elevens go North for games _tomorrow. Georgia ‘Tech plays Pennsylvania and Washing- ton and Lee meats Princeton. The for- mer probably will enter the Penn game on the short end of the odds, but there is a fair chance that Washington and Lee may whip Princeton. Southérn people will be pulling for the Atlanta school and for the Generals to keep up the good record made by Southern elevens in the North this year. In the South Atlantic section, the virginia Military Institute’s contest with Kentucky and the annual Virginia- Virginia Polytechnic Institute contest take the lead. V. M. I has little or no chanee to beat Kentucky, and Kentucky should win by a corfortable score.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 13.— A charity smoker will be held by Alex- andria Lodge of Elks in the audito- rium of Elks’ Home November 25 for the benefit of the city’s unemployed.

A wrestling match between two of Joe Turner's “grunt-and-growl” boys and a_ vaudeville program also are planned. might be anticipated, if judged on a comparative score basis. ALE has an off day, but Harvard is to meet stiff opposition from Holy Cross. The Crimson may have more trouble winning than is looked for, if it wins at all. Cornell journeys up to Hanover to try to keep its slate clean by winning from Dartmouth. The Ithacans seem to have the edge, as they beat Columbia easily, while Columbia won from Dartmouth. Cornell is said to have, its greatest team in years, while Dartmouth is hardly up g the strength of some of its previous ams. 'HE Fordham-New York University game in New York will not take any great place among the out- strictly local interest it may not often be surpassed. Certainly two big sections of New York City and many New York- ers who have no connection with either institution, will be out to watch a great meeting between two schools that fe. figuratively speaking, within a stone's throw of each other. Incidentally, there are not many foot ball teams stronger than either of these. Both Navy and Army will be againsi the real thing tomorrow at Baltimore and Pittsburgh, The former, in its game with Notre Dame, will strike about the best there is in foot ball, and the latter meets an eleven not a good deal inferior to the South Bend combination. A big crowd will watch the Navy- Notre Dame contest. Baltimore is all agog over it. Navy is working hard, hoping to make a good showing, despite the overwhelming strength to which it ic opposed. Most everybody thinks that Notre Dame should win easily, but Navy is hoping to keep the score down to what it should be in a hard, fairly even fought gridiron struggle. One of the big games in the North is that between Syracuse and Colgate. For that section of New York the game is a small edition of the Yale-Harvard struggle. The year is a success for the victor and a failure for the loser, A WITY SUNDAY MORNING EDI he Fpening Star. WASHINGTON, D.

FOOT BALL OFFICIALS GATHER AT BANQUET More Than 100 Hear Addresses by Magoffin and Other Heads of Organization. Foot ball officials of this section, gathered with college and schoolboy | | coaches last night at the Racquet Club in the first annual banquet of the Dis- trict Foot Ball Officials’ Association. | Many figures who have been prominent | in gridiron doings here for years were at hand. More than 100 attended the affair, | which was featured by interesting talks | by Paul Magoffin, a leading spirit in | the association, and others. The asso- ciation has been organized only about a year, but with Magofin, Bernard Eberts and several others helping to put it across it already has become an im- portant organization. It was a friendly gathering with lit, tle of the serious about it, but ma topics of vital importance to tl gathering were informally discussed.

""A survey of business conditions in cities holding membership in the league led directors of the circuit to decide against any competition until the 1932-33 season. The league closed last season with five teams, the Brooklyn Visita- tios, Fort Wayne, Chicago, Toledo and Rochester. Since then one other team, the Brooklyn Jewels, had been granted a franchise.

Those words were, “A tempest in a teapot.” Further than that, the distin- guished head of the university dis- missed the uproar aroused when, in an editorial, Harris declared that college foot ball was nothing more nor less than a semi-professional sport, conducted for the benefit of players and the amusement of alumni. Columbia being quite a big teapot, the tempest has stirred up a gale on Morningside Heights, with uri- versity officials seeking cyclone c lars of silence and the undergraduate leaders doing a lot of blowing. De- mands from alumni and athletic socleties for Harris’ head have brought forth support for the em- battled editor from academic sources, including _resolutions of approval from the Philolexian Society, found- ed 127 years ago, Columbia’s oldest student group. Ralph Hewett, Columbia’s star quarterback and captain of the eleven, it is declared, has threat- ened to knock Harris' block off. Harris, who is an ex-foot ball squad man himself and weighs something Carnegie Tech, Johns Hopkins to China was gathering troops, wanted to know how long the China- men have been employing women gen- | erals.
