U. or G. W. Is Supreme. BY ROD THOMAS. HE old gray mare ain't what the used to be,' meaning Georgetown University foot ball. She's a lot faster! For this reason the contest with Maryland next Saturday at Griffith Stadium probably will attract twice 88 many people as the Hoya-Terrapin game of a year ago, viewed by about 8,000 and won by Maryland, 6-0. Georgetown has moved a long way over the comeback trail since the Hoyas and Terrapins met last. In- terest in the game of 1934 was luke- warm because most of us thought the Blue and Gray had a dinky team. ‘What little attraction the contest offered lay in the novelty of having two major Washington schools en- gaged. But this season old Georgetown is accepting quarter from nobody. Some of those Hilltoppers are listening quietly these days to arguments over whether George Washington or Cath- olic University is the strongest in Cap- ital foot ball and at the same time | Santa Clara Conquered in Coast Classic SAN FRANCISCO, November 18.—Here's a sample of the stout defense flashed by St. Mary’s in its 10-0 victory here yesterday.

Two years ago. when Columbia got the call against Stanford. they were saying much the same thing about the Lions. It's a matter of history that the Lions | fooled 'em. N. Y. U.'s team compares favorably with the Little machine of 1933. and its record is better, being unscarred by tie or defeat. Its oppo- sition hasn't been too tough, but if the team should lick Fordham in the season’s finale this week there will be worse Rose Bowl candidates around the country than New York Univer- sity. Beating Fordham is a big league job. Any speculation about the Rose Bowl verges on advertising work, for the Rose Bowl game is a commercial program operated commercially by commercial people for commercial purposes. Yet you feel like rushing to the Rose Bowl's defense when you hear the undergraduate editors at Princeton say just what I have been saying—that the Rose Bowl game is a commercial propostion. I don’t know that the Prince- ton boys are in a position to throw the first stone, or call the kettle black.

No, if the Princeton editors are in a crusading mood they should start shoveling in their own stable. When all the local barns are clean, along about 1995, there will be plenty of time to pitch into the Rose Bowl. (Copyright. 1935 by the North American | ewspaper Alliance. Inc.) 14-6, upset George Washington a year #20 by blocking a punt and passing for the extra point. Its ability to hold onto a muddy ball on a rain-swept field while the Colonials committed no fewer than 10 fumbles really was the big factor in its triumph. The Nodaks have dominated the North Central Conference for the last six years, having failed only one year to win the championship. They hold the title at present and seem due to retain it until 1936. Catholic University, which played fine foot ball to beat Western Mary- land Saturday, looks for trouble from North Carolina State. Hunk Ander- son's team has lost only to North Carolina and Georgia and has looked far ahead to the C. U. contest. e D. C. BOYS HONORED Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. MERCERSBURG, Pa., November 18—Four students from Washington, D. C., and one from Battery Park, Md. received athletic rewards for partici- pation in Fall sports at the Mercers- burg Academy, it was announced here today. James E. Murphy, Nelson R. Jones, Allen C. Minnix and Charles E. Rock- wood were given their numerals in foot ball at the annual field day dinaer, when over 200 parents were present, while Frederick W. Coe of Battery Park, was honored for his soccer activities. The Washington boys entered the Academy only this Fall. Coe is in his second academic year. = = .7 = - Schenuit Tires NOW!

By the Associated Press. HATTANOOGA, Tenn,, No- vember 18. —Halfback James Patrick Byrne has heard the final signal, dying with his heart lightened by a lie over the gridiron prowess of his mates on the Notre Dame High School foot ball team. They clled him “Plucky Bubber,” these youths who volunteered for transfusions and prayed in the Erlanger Hospital for his recovery from blood poisoning which phy- sicians traced to blows he received in a game against South Pitts- burg, Tenn., November 8. Without him, the “Little Irish” lost, 7 to 6, to the more powerful Central High School team Friday night as he deliriously called sig- nals and fought for Coach Bill Coughlin from his bed. But there the lie came in.' The Chattanooga Times printed a spe- cial edition of one copy for Bubber only. Streaming across the sport page was the eight-column line: “Inspired Notre Dame upsets Central, 6 to 0.” It cheered the 18-year-old patient as consciousness returned. “I guess I'm going, ma,” he told his widowed mother, Mrs. Margaret Sullivan Byrne, “but I'll write to you.” Bubber died late last night. Dr. Earl Campbell said the blood stream infection came from blows on an inflamed arm in the South Pittsburg game. The youth entered the contest suffering from boils. Bubber, a junior classman, will be buried with Catholic rites, prob= ably Tuesday. b SPECIAL ANTISEPTIC STERILIZES every Gillette “Blue Blade" before it is sealed in its sanitary wrapper.

ROFESSIONAL boxing will re- turn to the District after an absence of more than a month when Joe Turner’s new arena at Fourteenth and W streets is opened a week from tomorrow, November 25. Launching the 1935-1936 indoor season, Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn has lined up Phil Furr and Sid Silas, local welterweights, for a 15-round feature which will mark the resump- tion of the bitterest Washington fistic feud in recent years. Silas boxed Purr to a 10-round draw on the police fund card last September after having been knocked out by the blond South- west puncher previously.

DIXIE SWEEPSTAKES LISTED FOR PINMEN Preliminaries Will Be Rolled To- * morrow Night on Alleys at Arcadia. MMEDIATELY following the con- clusion of matches in the Columbia Heights League tomorrow night the second annual Dixie Sweepstakes pre- | liminaries will be rolled at Arcadia An entrance fee, to include the cost of the three games, has been set. Total pins will decide the winner. Ed Laake's pinfall of 600 aided the Rocking Chair Five in taking three of the five games of the special match with National Beer at the Silver Alleys yesterday . . . but rolled 141 . . . the Rocking Chair men took the first three games to clinch the match in a jiffy. Meyer Jacobson, ranking Baltimore star, captured the Maryland Sweep- | stakes yesterday with sets of 626-676- | 644 for a grand total of 1,946, 37 pins |ahead of Eli Pickus, who finished second . . . Jacobson received $60 for his efforts . . . Hugh Crawley of Mount Rainler astounded all with a 170-game in the eighth contest, but a painful | hand injury forced his withdrawal. North Carolina Avenue climbed into a first-place tie with Mount Tabor No. 1 in the Methodist Protestant League last week by sweeping its match, while the former leaders could win but two games . . . Fort Myer Heights and Rhode Island Avenue's first team have a deadlock of th\ir own, however, for second place . . . Stalcup, the league's leading bowler, also leads in spares. with 61 in 24 games . . . but saw his average drop from 115 to 114-13. —_— PARHAM POST CHAMPION | Takes Fort Stevens Legionnaires’ Table Tennis Final.

Parham dropped only the third set in winning, 21-14, 21-18, 20-22 and 21-17.
