WASHINGTON, Colonials, Mountaineers % HAGERTY RENDS HILLTOP LINEAUP: Relegates Nine Regulars to Ranks—Terp Spirit Un- shaken by Defeat. BY ROD THOMAS. T MAY seem more like basket ball than foot ball when George l Washington and West Virginia tangle Friday night at Griffith Stadium. West Virginia fired passes all over the lot—31 of them—when it played Pittsburgh Saturday and is expected | to do the same thing against George | Washington And the Colonials lately have toiled | for hours over their own aerials. That | they expect to use them extensively Friday night is indicated in the trans- fer of Ray Hanken from the back- field to an end. The hard-running Towa youth is one of the surest receiv- ers on the squad, but as a halfback hasn't caught many except those of the “flat” type, which, if covered at all well by the defense, are not good for long gains. The Colonials will employ the aerial plays they learned before the Alabama | game, but which they couldn't use | against the Crimson Tide for the simple reason they seldom had pos- session of the ball. Tuffy Leemans, Ben Plotnicki, Joe Kaufman, Bruce Mahan and George | Jenkins have been the Colonial pass- ers in most of the drills and all are | expected to be given opportunity to | try their wings against the Moun- taineers. We're curious about the Kaufman boy. He came to George Washington hailed as a passer extraordinary and as a freshman was no disappointment, either as a flipper or a lugger of the oval. But for one reason or another Joe failed to impress this Fall at Camp Letts, except spasmodically, and although he had been counted upon to bolster the backfield, badly in need | of help, soon found himself among the | reserves. | For once, Tuffy Leamans may not | be called on to play the role of work- horse. Since the Catawba game, the | Tuff has been bothered by a leg bruise | and in recent drills has been mostly & spectator, Hagerty Shakes Up Hoyas.

MARYLAND TRACKS Varsity at first team is far' from satistying to Coach Hagerty. | The usually mild tempered Jack worked up a hot peeve yesterday when the first-stringers were unable to stop Miami University plays as run off by the freshmen and demoted no less than nine regulars, including Co- Capts. Megler and Herron. Of the 11 who started against Roa- | noke, only Al Snyder, an end, and John Prank, guard, today are classed s regulars, it seems. Hagerty had thought to eliminate Good horses and good jockeys are con- | spicuous by their absence. scrimmaging once the season began but yesterday he put the Hoyas through two hours of it, continually making changes in an effort to obtain a clicking combination. Finally he got it, as follows: | Ends—Al Snyder and Joe Williams. | ‘Tackles—Leo Curley and Cy Cum- mings. | Guards—Johnny Frank and Bob ©'Brien. | Center—Mike Fuardo. Quarterback—Bob Nolan. Halfbacks—Don Gibeau and Alex | Urbanski. | Fullback—Jim Dooley. The play of Frank at guard was outstanding. Recently he was con- verted from an end. Terps Still Have Pep. hlARYLAND'S coaches, after look- ing over the moving pictures of the North Carolina game last night, today felt a great deal better over the 33-to-0 defeat last Saturday than they did before. The film showed that the Tarheels simply were too good and powerful | for the Terrapins and that their | blocking and timing of plays were almost perfect. | Except for the first jittery period, the Maryland mentors found much to praise in the work of their charges‘ and they are confident that had it not | been for the two blocked punts in the | last period that Maryland would have held the Tarheels even in the last three quarters. | Shelton probably will be out for the | The spirit and morale of the squad, | if anything, is better than before the | Tarheel debacle, as it gets ready to take its spite out on V.

If Farrell is found guilty the Old Liners will lose & capable reserve at tackle. Shaughnessy May Quit. ALPH “SHAG” SHAUGHNESSY, powerful C. U. fullback, may play no more Cardinal foot ball. With “Shag” it's a question of foot ball or his Government job, and the athlete plans to marry. Dutch Bergman, C. U. | coach, is attempting to obtain a fur- | lough for Shaughnessy from the Post Office Department. Today it appeared unlikely that *“Shag” would make the trip this week to Detroit. He was a very downcast young man. “Gosh, I hate to leave the team,” he said, and declared his belief that it would finish the season with a . perfect record. Its chance for this achievement would be enhanced great- ly if Shaughnessy remained. The Cards will finish hard training today for the Detroit clash, which will be a headliner in the Midwest. Berg- man was not pleased particularly with the regulars’ performance yesterday ngainst the freshmen. SCORES IN FIELD TRIALS. GREENW#ZLD, Ohio, October 16 (#)—Millsdale Russ, owned by Carl Zogt of Manaco, Pa., won class A com- petition last night in the sixteentn annual field trials and bench show of the Highland Beagle Club. He de- feated 34 dogs of all ages under 13 inches. { GET RACING CREAM Empire City Is Short of Steeds and Riders—Tintagel May Be Retired for Winter. By the Associated Press. THERE is a scarcity of horses at the Empire City track at Yonkers, N. Y. Nearly all the large stables have been shipped to Maryland, with a sprinkling headed off to New England. The Empire oval is in better condi- tion than ever before. The new top soil put on during the lay-off season ‘has made the going lightning fast and it wouldn’t be surprising if several new | track records were made during the | 15-day meeting. Marshall Field's Tintagel, winner of the Futurity, may be retired for the Winter. He has a bad ankle, which needs the firing irons. He pos- sibly will go out for one race during | the Florida season and, if he sho s {up well, may be nominated for the Kentucky Derby. Although A. Robertson rode the most winners at Suffolk Downs last week— six—he trailed on the jockeys' pay roll. Ira Hanford drew $425 to lead the riders, followed by H. Lindberg, with $279; C. Stevenson, $225; A. Rob- | ertson, $210; C. Cooper, $192; F. Mau- ro, $168; F. Luther, $159, and C. Turk, $156. WESTERN LEADER OUT Shelton Probably Lost for Series, Dealing Team Blow. Western High School's chances in the interhigh school foot ball race, starting Tuesday with the Tech-Roose- velt game, were dimmed considerably when it was learned that Capt.

A rugged guard, the only veteran in the Red Raiders’ line-up, Shelton suf- fered two broken ribs and a bruised liver in the George Washington- Western game last Friday. - DISCOVERY SEEKING STAKE AND REVENGE Runs Against Top Row, Con- queror in Previous Race, in $25,000 Handicap Today. OSTON, October 16 (#).—Discov- ery, A. G. Vanderbilt's crack handicap champion, seeks added riches today. Entered in the $25,000 added Mas- sachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs, Discovery matches speed with an old rival, A. A.

Macks’ Acquisition of New| Initial Sacker Lends Weight to Rumor. By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, October 16.— P The base ball air was thick today with new talk that Jimmy Foxx may be doing his slugging for a club other than the Athletics next year. 5 The rumors—quiet for 24 hours since the report started circulating that the burly infielder would go to | the Cleveland Indians in a three- | cornered deal involving also the Boston Red Sox—started up again | with the announcement that Connie Mack has acquired a star first-sacker from the Coast League. There was no word from Mack— not only because he is out of town, but also for the reason that the A's veteran pilot never talks about those things until he's ready to. Foxx, himself, just smiles when you ask him how he'd like wearing differ- ent livery. Get Another First Sacker. BUT the fact remains that Mack, although he has Jimmy as a capable first baseman and hitter ex- traordinary, has obtained another guardian for the initial sack—Jim Oglesby of Los Angeles, who hit for averaged better than .300 in his three- | year coast stay. Formerly with the | Western Association, Oglesby was picked up by the A's for the usual draft price, $7,500. or trade have been legion. They've | had him variously reported as headed | for Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox, | the Boston Red Sox, and even at one | time to the A's arch rivals, the New | York Yankees. | In the Cleveland-Boston-Philadel- phia deal, according to the reports, Jimmy would go to the Tribe in ex- change for Weingarner and Hal Trosky. Hal, in turn, would be sent to Boston for Outfielder Mel Almada and Pitcher Fred Ostermueller. Through Buying Names. THEN there has been the talk that Foxx is slated for Boston direct. with two players and a big bundle of cash coming here. A few weeks ago there also was a wild report that Mack and Yawkey talked over sending Jimmy, Outfielders Bob Johnson and | Wally Moses, Pitcher Johnny Marcum and a couple of others to the Red Sox in exchange for something between a quarter and a half million dollars. But this last was considered more or less of a pipe dream, particularly because at that time it was said Yaw- | key had adopted a new policy of | | developing youngsters instead of buy- | ing big names. fl | ‘The White Sox figured in the talk shortly after the season ended, with rumors that Mack was partial to giv- | ing his ex-pupil, Jimmy Dykes, a | chance to bid for the big star. This | report was dropped into the back- | ground, however, along with the one, | never given much credence, that the | Yanks might get Jimmy.

Three Gridders Leave Colonials GEOEGE WASHINGTON'S foot ball squad was depleted by three today, with the announcement that Ross Marshall, fullback; Floyd Newberry, halfback, and Steve Shelton, tackle, had resigned. Marshall, from Olathe, Kans, was unable to play because of sev- | eral dislocated foot bones and Shelton, from Roanoke, Va. and Newberry, from Neodesha, Kans., had little chance to make the first team.

Voices that swelled for Alabama last year are singing the praises of Duke and North Carolina this season and the Southern Conference lads in their 10-game schedule of games with teams in the junior circuit h.ope to get bet- ter than an even break. They're all even now after two games. V. M. I. took a 44-to-0 drub- bing frem Tulane, but the following week end North Carolina upheld the dignity of the Southern Conference by romping all over mighty Tennessee, 38 to 13. Two Games Saturday. 'WO more games in this rivalry be- tween the two conferences will be played Saturday, with an even break predicted. Duke will be favored to whip Georgia Tech, but most of the | experts probably will string along with Georgia to end North Carolina State’s | unbroken string of victories. The following week end Duke and Auburn will clash, Maryland and Florida will meet and North Carolina will take on Georgia Tech. All of that will lead up to the Duke- ‘Tennessee game, which may be among the season's headliners, with Clemson and Alabama following later and South Carolina and Florida meeting in December. If they win Duke’s Blue Devils and Wallace Wade expect to get a lot of | fun out of the game with Georgia Tech next Saturday.

T STRIKES me that the next move in this highly lethargic situation ought to come, not from the college himself. Has he got any kick? Are the athletes falling down on him? Certainly no public servant in the country gave a better account of him- self in the last few days than those same Buckeyes did in smothering Drake’s team by a score of 85 to 7. Technically the boys are employed as clerks, messengers, assistant high- way inspectors, etc., but actually they are serving the State to better effect when they kick the stuffing out of rival foot ball clubs. 1 thought the Governor prob- ably knew this, but it appears that his viewpoint is distorted. It's as though President Roosevelt were to take the microphone on & Nation-wide hook-up and say: “My friends, I hate to disillusion you and stir up scandal, but it has come to my attention that all nine of the justices of the Supreme Court are drawing pay from the Government.” As a matter of fact, the President would have a much better right to complain than Gov.
