SPORTS HAPPY ENDING FOR GREAT Pklahoma Sooners Arriv, . SEASON COLONIALS’ HOPE e for Battle Tomorrow. Cards Take No Chances on Loyola—Stars Wind Up EORGE WASHINGTON and Careers. BY H. C. BYRD. Catholic University are ready for their final foot ball games tomorrow and Saturday with Oklahoma University at the Clark Griffith Stadium and with Loyola College of Baltimore at the same place. For 10 da;s Coach Jim Pixlee of George Washington has been lanning care: nch into ully a program whereby he hopes Okliholga's machinery. A victory over the Sooners to throw a monkey 1 1l a triumph for Pixlee, and would bring about a brilliant :flfig légewhat, probably is the best season a George ‘Washington eleven has ever enjoyed. Consequently Pixlee has not been idle in his attempts to bring his team aro Oklahoma’s squad came here today fter two nights and a day on the train, and the squad physically does not seem to be very much the worse for wear because of its hard game last Saturday with Nebraska and its long trip. Of course, it is difficult to think other than that it will not have as much flash and initiative as it might have had it not ayed last week and were it on its ome field. EORGE WASHINGTON'S team, as far as its physical qualifications are concerned, need take off its hat to no other group. And the Colonials have in their midst some excellent foot ball players, men who could come close to making any team. It takes a mighty good defense to stop the running game and passing of Fenlon, Baker and McCarver, the last mentioned the flash- fest and most consistent ground gainer on the squad. OKLAHDMA has a team of varying proportions, as far as physical % ‘make-up is concerned. The players tange in weights from 145 pounds, carried by Ab Walker, one of the quar- terbacks, to 224, by Orville Corey, tackle. Incidentally, statistics of the Oklahoma eleven have it that Corey is only a little over 5 feet 9 inches, which seems to show that the young man is quite stoc] Under ordinary circumstances, it would seem_that Oklahoma should be favored to beat the Colonials, but as matters stand for tomorrow’s contest, it is question if they will be. George ‘Washington ought to be in so much better physical condition that the dif- ference may count a good deal in the pesult. Catholic University may be picked to beat Loyola with a fair certainty that the selection would be good. Almost may happen in a foot ball e, though, and Loyola may be a good deal stronger than it is expected Anyway, Coach Dutch Bergman tal any more chances than . He has been working just he dares in preparation for QGeorge Washington and und to its top form. Sooners Present Star in Kick-Off 'ORMAN, Okla., November 23 (). —The most highly specialized talent on the University of Ok- lahoma foot ball team, which plays George Washington in Washington tomorrow, is that of Orin (Red) Borah, who hails from Champaign, . Playing only a few minutes in his third and last year, he is accounted one of the most valuable men on the squad. “Red” is the boy who kicks off for the Sooners, then retires. This season he averaged better than 55 yards. When he muffed a kick in the Texas game, it made him so mad that on the next three kick-offs “Red” nailed the man with the ball. Coach Lewie Hardage says such a player’s value is hard to over- estimate, since kicks over the goal line eliminate the danger of long returns, sometimes for touchdowns. “Darned if I know,” is Borah's answer to the question of how he does it. “You just keep your eye on the ball, get your step right, swing your leg and hit just below the mid- dle of the ball with all you've got.” NAVY POLISHING UP ATTACK FOR ARMY Injuries Risked by Scrim- mages in Effort to De- velop Offensive. miversity are playing on thel: flelds, University of land will be battling with Johns in a contest the rivalry of dates back m?n.

S0 necessary does he regard it that there should be further development of various phases of the attack, that he will take the chance of injury this week, though the timi will be in the scrimmage will be very brief. Yesterdey the first scrimmage of the week took place, but the regulars were not in the ranks more than 10 minutes. Every member of the squad was on the field, though Chung Hoon, right half, and Brooks, right tackle, did not scrim- mage nor even run through signals. Their places were taken by Clark and Lambert. Chung Hoon, upon whom the Navy places such reliance, did not show y sign of his leg injury, and there are hopes that the day of the Army game will find him able to do himself justice. ’ Christie Flannagan, backfield coach, is devoting considerable attention to Denny, who has been shifted from in yws. From its line-up of tomorrow will go lknm mmalmem!md g'ml'- ter, Chambers, vey, @ Yovray, Wisoh, Sisira and Blackisione, Hoeal piayers, and cepecially will Siaicd players, and espe: ly be missed from the right tackle posi- $ion and Fenlon from the backfield. ‘Whelan and Sheary, star backs at . U., are among the men who wind their careers. And when two such taken from any backfleld they missed, no matter how_optimistic may be concerning the oncom- young sthletes from freshman ns. ‘Maryland’s backfield will be depleted the loss of three men, Woods, Pop- and Kiernan. Woods probably as good an all-around back as there in zhu section, and the long dashes Poppelman and Kiernan at various times probably will be wished for more than once. Johnny Mitchell, former back, shifted to right some time ago, | the only other senior Maryland has | its regular line-up. Vnwmu is staking its all on the| AV “outcome of its game with North Carolina tomorrow at Charlottes- le. 'The Cavaliers have been build- ng all season with this game in view, and 8 or 10 of the men who start to- morrow will be playing their final for Virginia. The Old Dominion team has had anything but a good season, but §f it defeats the Tarheels it will ask nothing more of 1932, as far as foot | ball is concerned. ‘The biggest thing that favors Virginia | g the fact that it is playing on its| ome field, with 10 days intervening | since its last game, while North Caro- lina makes the trip to Charlottesville, | fter a terrific 0-to-7 contest l‘imv‘ Bu.te last Saturday. It will be interesting to watch what ppens tomorrow to the teams that layed hard games last Saturday when hrown against elevens that have not yed for 10 days. North Carolina in that position, so is Oklahoma and #o is Maryland. | A NOTHER time-honored contest in Virginia is that between Virginia Military Institute and Virginia mymhmc Institute at Roanoke. This been one of the South's major fThanksgiving day struggles for many years. V. P. seems to be by far he stronger eleven, although V. M. L for some reason is not very pessimistic. Another game in the same class with | ese is to be played down in Mississippi tween Mississippi State and Mis- l\iflfi:‘ University. There is no greater | ivalry than exists between these two ls. The university this year ap- rently has the better chance to win. Other worth-while games to be played the South tomorrow are between anderbilt and Alabama, North Caro- Carolina, is that between and University of ashington at Seattle. ‘Texas A. and and University of Texas in the| Southwest hbok up in one of those fntense rivalry struggles, while in the East Penn and Comnell do the same k to halfback, and Larsen, a plebe half last year, who now is being tried at fullback. Both may get chances in_some stage of the Army game. Denny, who has been in the back- ground this season, though he was regular quarter most of last year, has been showing ability as a passer and runner, while Larsen, a strong fellow of 175 pounds, is a hard line driver. ALEXANDRIA BOYS OPPOSE Rivals as University of Richmond and William and Mary Meet. ALEXANDRIA, November 23 —Jeft Williams of Alexandria is scheduled to start at right end for the University of Richmond grid eleven tomorrow against Willlam and Mary in the Old Dominion _capital. Hugh Travers, also of this city, is | slated to perform with William and Mary. Washington Again Obtains Marathon Special Dispatch to The Star. NIW YORK, November 23—For the second successive year ‘Washington will be the scene of the National A. A. U. marathon championship, with The Washing- ton Star as sponsor. The 1933 event was voted to ‘Washington over bids from Chicago and Boston at the A. A. U. conven- tion just ended. Washington also was awarded the women’s national junior 10-foot springboard outdoor diving cham- plonship. It is unusual for the national marathon to be held in the same city two mfl in succession. On its presentat! to the Capital, Harold A. Bruce, chairman of the Long Distance Running Committee, paid tribute to the D. C. Chapter of the A. A. U. and The Star for the suc- cess of the 1932 race. TRADITION MEANS MUCH ON GRIDIRON Makes Contests in Southern Sector Tomorrow Hard to Figure Out. BY DAN E. McGUGIN, Coach, Vanderbilt. ASHVILLE, Tenn., November 23. —As Grantland Rice has said, “There is a glow and a color and a certain human element connected with traditional foot ball bat- tles which even champlonship contests lack. These traditiodal rivalries are the real foundation of foot ball, the main basis upon which the game must live and grow.” Coaches and players, as a rule, are impatient of so-called championships, There are 23 colleges in the Southern Conference. Obviously, no team can lay all the others—that is, 22 games. ere are at least six teams in the con- ference which could schedule eight games with the weaker members and win all eight—hence we could have six teams with perfect conference cham- pionship records. There is some game which, because of long tradition, a team would rather win, satisfled to lose all the others, than win all the others and lose that one. Among traditional contests of this character are Tennessee-Kentucky, Mississippl A. and M,-Ml.!slulprl, North Carolina-Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute-Virginia Military Institute, Alabama-Vanderbilt and Maryland and Hopkins. So, when it comes to guessing the winners of these contests on ‘Thanksgiving many of the ordinary factors must be left out of account. Here is the way the Southern title size up: Alabama-Vanderbilt—No selection for obvious reasons. Kentucky-Tennessee—Tennessee. Mississippi-Mississippi A, and M.— Missiesippl. Furman-Clemson—FPurman. North Carolina State-South Caro- lina—North Carolina State. North ~ Carolina-Virginia — North Carolina. Maryland-Johns Hopkins — Mary- V. P. L-V. M. I—V.

Players signed include C. and E. Gold- blatt, Gecrge and Joe Joseph, R. and C. McPherson, Jeffries, Goldie Henson and Moore. Others to play are asked to at 7:30 o'clock. Games with the Alcovas are being booked at Clarendon 1490. Odds Favor Vols In Beer Keg Tilt TLANTA, November 23 (#)— That traditional gridiron battle for an old beer keg, which an- nually pits Tennessee against Ken- tucky, comes tomorrow at Knoxville, with the Volunteers favored to re- tain the trophy. For years the victor in this ‘Thanksgiving day contest has taken possession of the keg. ‘The duel is similar to the Purdue- Indiana fight for the old oaken bucket and the Michigan-Minnesota struggle for the little brown jug. ‘Tennessee won in 1926 and has kept the keg since then, although Ken- tucky tied the Vols three times. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 23.—The Amateur Athletic Union has gone on the metric standard. ‘Without a dissenting voice the ruling body of amateur athletics in this country has scrapped the time- honored yardage system in favor of meters and kilometers as the standard measurement for all track and field events. This change, voted yesterday at the closing session of the A. A. U.s forty- Event; Awarded At A. A. U. Confab EW YORK, November 23.—The following championship awards were made at the A. A.

Adopts Metric System For Track and Field Events fourth annual convention, will be ef- fective January 1 and will apply only to track and field sports. DVOCATES of the switch to the metric_system pointed out that it would bring the United States into line with the vast majority of the na- tions of the world. Only this country and Great Britain measure their courses for track and field events in yards and miles. The standard unit of measure- ment of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, court of last re- sort in world athletics, is the meter. Organizations affiliated with the A. A. U. are expected to follow that body's lead, although there may be adverse reaction from the National Collegiate A. A, which is understood to be op- posed to the change. The Intercol- legiate A. A. A. A. A, at its last an- nual meeting, however, favored it and announced it was ready to approve the shift to the metric system as soon as the A. A. U. voted it into the rules. Although there still will be races at yards and miles, it was the consensus of most observers that record-holders now listed in the book under the yard- age system in all probability would never be replaced. 'HE metric system will be used for the national indoor track and fleld championships here in February and for the I. C. 4-A meet in March. Whether distances for other indoor fix- tures would be in conformity with the A. A, U’s decision was not determined. The discussion over this unexpected action overshadowed all other develop- ments of the closing session, including Avery Brundage's re-election to the presidency for a fifth term; the aban- donment of a proposal to impose an “Olympic tax” on admissions to all athletic events sponsered by the A. A. U, and the awa-ding of national championships. Chicago, which Folds the world's fair next year, was given the bulk of the major awards, including the men’s and women's national track and feld cham- .

Df‘?f% THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RI( T is only fitting that one of foot ball's biggest games, set for to- morrow, should be played in the section that first helped to make Thanksgiving famous. There may have been more exciting Thanksgiving days when Pilgrim descendants had to tackle turkeys and block Indians at the same time, but they never caused s0 much talk as this coming meeting between Colgate and Brown at Providence on ursday. You must know by now how heaty the odds are against any one team’s running a season's blockade without getting beaten or tied. Yet here are two teams which reach their closing game under these happy stars of fortune, and as a result there will be 30,000 present at Providence, with an additional 100,000 more than anxious to get a ticket and see just what hnpxé)en.s when two unbeatable teams meet. Something is bound to bend, if not to break, under such conditions, and no one seems to have much of an idea as to the closing chapter in one of foot ball's most romantic narratives. ROWN'S strength is better known than Colgate's. Brown has beaten Yale, Harvard, Holy Cross and Co- lumbia—and Brown dealt each of these teams its first defeat, which is some- thing not to be overlooked. Colgate has played no such schedule. Which Andy Kerr has explained quite simply. “Schedules,” he said, “are made up well ahead of any season. When we arranged to meet N. Y. U, Penn State, Lafayette, Syracuse and Brown that looked to be a good season's work. I think, at that, Lafayette is much stronger than her team looked against us. Syracuse, also, is nobody's. set-up. I know we haven't been so well tested as Brown has been, but I don’t think that will make any great differ- ence in this next game.” This statement was made in combat- ing the argument that Brown, having been under heavier fire, would be bet- ter equipped for a game where the nerve strain is sure to be tremendous. Brown has had to battle its way through a series of hard fights and close calls where coolness and courage, as well as skill, were needed down the e both et teams are so well equi) with veterans, with d.epmdable.:v.hm that no mental crash on either side is expected. Brown has Chase and Buonanno to run her attack, and ate has Soleau and Smith to keep backfield and for- wards on top of the job. The quarterback joust between Soleau and Chase will be one of the leading features of-the day. So will the line breaking between Gammino and Rowe. The season may have shown stronger teams than these two, but has shown no teams better balanced both front lines and backfield posts, . trouble with foot ball,” H. L. gut‘tm":d “is a umtn drawn n many cases from late September to New Ye-¥ day. ‘The con- centration on one sport that foot ball demands, the heavy physical and the heavy mental pressure, should never be earried past last Saturday in No- vember. That was the old order. Today I aee a eonun:‘ed Dewl‘a”ber schedule and there will, of course, be the annual Rose Bowl contest.” Delco Batteries CREEL BROTHERS 1811 14th St. NW.

Army and Navy patched up their truce too late to meet in November, so their ancient scrap goes into December. Only a few games will be left on the card after Saturday. ‘There is little question that foot ball's demand on the physical, mental and nervous side is too heavy to be carried beyond November. Seven or eight games are quite enough for any modern schedule where there is so little chance to reach a resting spell. ASTERN foot ball is more than much obliged to Fordham for her double victory over St. Mary’s and Oregon- State. It was a stirring double act on the part of a team which had been beaten twice and which had more than enough left to turn a retreat into a counter at- tack, after the tide had been so heavy the other way in past years. . It will now be interesting to see what Pitt’s unbeaten Panthers can do against Stanford when Warner and Sutherland, Pop and Jock, teacher and pupil, meet on Saturday at Pittsburgh.

OS ANGELES, November 23. —Foot ball followers, who always are quick to recog- nize a new leader, are be- ginning to bestow upon another intercollegiate eleven of Southern California’ much of their cheers and cash. University of California at Los An- geles, surprise team of the Pacific Coast Conference, with three of its biggest games to be played, already is well ahead of the attendance figures of 1931 —and the chances are strong these will be doubled before the year is out. Crowds which have followed the University of Southern California grid activities’ have fallen off slightly with the indication that before the end of the season the total may be 100,000 less than in 1931. U. C. L. A. played to 127,880 persons in eight games last year. The attend- ance has been 134,192 for seven con- tests this season, two of which were layed in the rain. Approximately ,000 are anticipated for the Washing- ton State tilt tomorrow, with Washing- ton and Florida yet to come on the regular schedule. Then, there is the Rose Tournament possibility. E figures, of course, fail to match attendance at Southern California’s games. Several rea- sons are responsible for this, not the least of which is that Southern Cali- fornia is defending a mythical na- tional championship. The Southern California figures are based entirely on estimates. Trojan oflcf:h decline to announce attendance totals. In seven games played this Fall Southern California had an esti- mated total of 345,000 persons sitting in on the struggles. This compares with 377,000 for the same number of games a year ago and 557,000 for the regular 1931 schedule. Including the Rose ‘Tournament game with Tulane the total mounted to something like 640,000. Conservative estimates place for Southern California’s 11 grid ¢ a season ago at better than a million and a half dollars. LTHOUGH the presence of the Notre Dame game on the home schedule December 10 will boost Tflz; crowd total more than the contest at South Bend a year ago, the figures' still promise to run well behind 1931, Some 56,000 saw the classic last Fall. Predictions are 90,000 will see this sea- son's struggle. With an anticipated gathering of 30,000 at Seattle for the Washington game tomorrow, the seeson's total, mot taking a possible Rose Tournament game into consideration, would be something like 465,000, almost & hundred thousznd behind 1931. * MARYLAND PARK BEATEN Eliminated From State Title Play by Lackey High, 1-0.
