BIG CROWD LIKFLY ‘Sperts Program | DESPITE COLD DAY Hoyas’ Reserve Is Stronger, | but Terps Have Edge in Experience. I Maryland were to clash at 2 o'clock today at Griffith Stadium in the homecoming with one of the largest crowds of the season expected, estimates running as high as 15,000 VEN choices, Georgetown and foot ball game of the Blue and Gray Prospects of cold weather did not | chill the enthusiasm of thousands of partisans, the great battle of last year, which Maryland won by 6 to 0, having whetted interest in the 1935 encounter to the keenest pitch mark- ing any contest between Washington elevens in modern times. To some, Georgetown seeme. to have an edge due to greater reserve strength, but the Old Line backers pointed to the greater experience of their veteran team and the strong possibility of & letdown in the Hoya sophomoric ranks due to a trying struggle last week with Manhattan, won by Georgetown, 13 to 0. Both Look to Breaks. OTH coaches, Jack Hagerty of Georgetown and Jack Faber of Maryland, sent their teams into action believing that victory would hang upon & break or two. Georgetown’s hopes lay in the pass- ing and ball running of Quarterback Tommy Keating and the kicking of Joe Meglen, plus sturdy line play. Maryland looked to Coleman Headley's passing, the running and kicking of Bill Guckeyson, Jack Stonebreaker’s scooting and the pass snatching of the six-foot-five flankman, Vic Willis. The psychology is in Maryland’s favor. It was tied last week by Wash- ington and Lee and beaten the week before by Indiana in games that found fortune frowning upon the Terrapins., They were a victory- hungry lot, indeed, who faced the Hoyas today. Colonials Watch Nodaks. 'HE Capital's other major teams, George Washington and Catholic universities, had a day off and divided their attention between the George- town-Maryland and Western Mary- land-North Dakota _contests, latter taking place in Baltimore. G. W.s coaching staff and many of its players planned to take in the Baltimore game, for North Dakota, unheaten up to today, will be the Colonials’ Thanksgiving day opponent at Griffith Stadium. The Cardinals on Turkey day at Griffith Stadium will meet Hunk Anderson’s North Carolina State eleven. Georgetown scouts were to watch Western Maryland play North Dakota, for next Saturday the Hoyas will meet | the Green Terrors in Baltimore.

CLIMACTIC FRAYS FILL GRIDS TODAY Decisive Contests Under Way in Every Section of Nation. | By the Associated Press. | EW YORK, November 23.— The Nation's foot ball ma- chines rolled out today for the | climax of the regular season, | destined to narrow the race for myth- | ical American honors. | A feeling of expectancy was in the | air as the undefeated and untied Gold- en Bears of California locked with Stanford. Experts were wondering whether the powerful California line i could stop Moscrip and Grayson. | In the East, Princeton and Dart- mouth, both with spotless records, clashed to settle the championship of the Eastern “Ivy League” before a crowd expected to exceed 58,000, the | largest in the history of the Tiger | stadium. Harvard and Yale were scheduled | to resume their old rivalry with Yale | a distinct favorite, but an element of | doubt arose from records which show that past performances mean lttle when these two colleges collide on the gridiron. | Notre Dame, defeated by Northwest- | ern and tied by Army, was a favorite to defeat a coming Southern *Cali- | fornia team. | Big Day in Big Ten. OHIO STATE, which Notre Dame knocked from a dream of & na- | tional title, lined up with Michigan. | Minnesota, undefeated and untied, was | expected to plough under Wisconsin. | Northwestern met Iowa in a game ! that was fraught with uncertainty, the uncertainty due in main to Oze | Simmons, who has been known to run wild in Jowa’s backfleld. Indiana and Purdue clash in the “Old Oaken ucket” game. Jay Berwanger sings his swan song as Chicago meets Illinois. Iowa State meets Kansas, Kansas State plays Missouri and Creighton, Marquette in other Midwestern games. In the Southwest, undefeated and untied Southern Methodist and Texas Christian meet Baylor and Rice, re- spectively, with Southern Methodist having less chance of being bowled | over than Texas Christian. Oregon meets Washington in an- other interesting game on the coast while Loyola tackles University of California at Los Angeles and Oregon State meets Montana. Lehigh-Lafayette in “Ivy” Game. LEHIGH and Lafayette, both with poor records, faced each other a Bethlehem, Pa, in another “Ivy” game. Lehigh was favored. Pop ‘Warner’s Temple, Owls met Villanova, while Army, getting ready for Navy, had a breather with Vermont. Other Eastern games were Bucknell- Penn State, Columbia-Brown, George- town-Maryland, West Virginia-Wash- ington and Jefferson, Boston College- Boston University and Rutgers-Col- gate. In the South, Duke, riding high as | result of its startling conquest of North Carolina University, had Hunk Anderson’s North Carolina State wolf pack to contend with. Georgia faced Auburn and Mississippi met Centen- ary. Other games were Mississippi State - Sewanee, Louisiana State= South - western Louisiana, Florida- Georgia Tech and Tulane-Louisiana Normal. In the Rocky Mountains, Colorado State met Colorado College, Brigham Young met Arizona and Colorado, faced Wyoming. e | G. W. FRESHMEN IN TIE Outgain Western Maryland Cubs in, 8-to-8 Contest. Thrice advancing within the 5-yard line in the second half, George Wash- e | ington’s freshman eleven was held to & 6-6 tie by the Western Marylsnd h | yearlings yesterday at West Potomac Park. Scoring in the first quarter when Vic Sampson, 145-pound halfback, snagged a punt and returned 60 yards to score, the Colonial cubs appeared to be well on their way tc victory. Western Maryland came back in the second period, however, to tally on a 23-yard pass from Mudjwit to Le- zinsky and then turn back a trio of George Washington threats in the sec- ond half. W. Md.

Hart of Tech is shown (in upper picture) taking a pass intended for Halfback Michaels of Eastern near the end of the second period. Eastern, however, generally was successful with this particular passing for- mation, the back cutting through the tackle and racing behind Tech’s line to receive the.throw on the other side. They worked this same play in reverse, too. Tech’s third-quarter change to score is depicted in the lower photo.

THE SPORTLIGHT Bowl Game Aspirants’ Fate in Balance As Major Foot Ball Teams Clash Today. BY GRANTLAND RICI HIS is an important Saturday in Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl history —in the New Year excitement booked ahead for Pasadena and New Orleans and a large part of the foot ball map. Shortly after nightfall we will know whether California is the West Coast certainty or whether Stanford can enter a counter claim. In the meanwhile there are three other teams to be named for the three open posts—one for the Rose and two more for the Sugar Bowl. Before the opening whistles, the list still included Southern Methodist and Texas Christian from the South- west—Dartmouth and New York University from the East—with Cali- fornia leaning toward Notre Dame 1in case the Irish whip Southern Cali- fornia. For the Sugar Bowl are considered the cases of Southern Methodist, T. C. U., Rice, Louisiana State or Alabama to carry the Southern flag against such possibilities as New York Uni- versity, Pittsburgh, Fordham or Notre Dame from the North. While Alabama, Louisiana State and Rice have each dropped one game, teams of the year—especially in the way of November strength, which is the main test. Defeat today, against hard competition, will eliminate Rice, T. C. U, Stanford and Dart- mouth. If Texas Christian can trim Rice and Southern Methodist on successive Saturdays, it will be the best job done this year on any two foot ball The bulk of this money is spent fo carry on other sports for the major portion of student bodies. The players get none of it. They may be taken care of financially by outside parties or other interests— through athletic scholarships and Jjobs—but rarely by a college athletic association. There has been more proselyting, scouting for material, hustling for talent this season than ever before, due to keener rivalries, increasing public interest and harder competi- tion. Competition has grown too keen to sit back and let nature take its course in many places. There are a few exceptions and most of these have pretty poor foot ball teams. A university or a college - should have some right in protecting its own territory against .utside raiders, and most of those that don't rarely lead any parades. Late November Form ’l';lh. ONI important factor in foot ball is late November form as com- pared to that of October. Many teams, forced to get ready for hard early games, begin to feel the grind and strain by this date, and so fall away. Others come along slowly, picking up steam as the season moves to climax games. Man power is the main answer — unlimited » material. But there are only a few squads that have this much material on eall. Minnesota, for example, was & strong team at the start. But with 80 many gaps to fill, the Gophers did not hit their true stride until Novem- ber. By this date they have one of the best foot ball teams in Minne- sota history, a far stronger array than the October line-up. National Championships.

PRESS BOX Expert on Lyre Strums Gridiron Blues; Softly He Sings “It’s So Easy to Lose.” BY JOHN OSTON, November 22—Be- fore masterminding this week's foot ball program in its usual courageous style (the only style of masterminding in which the mind plays no part what- soever), this department wishes to conciliate & couple of Princeton grads and a couple of other guys who write like Princeton grads, but don't come right out in the open and admit it. One of these gentlemen sends in to say: “Your repeated attacks on Prince- ton are tiresome and baseless, but I am glad to see that & man of your caliber monopolizes this fleld.” That remark about caliber is = thrust below the belt, since your cor- respondent made no reference to Princeton’s caliber and believes in fact, that the whole question of cal- iber should be reserved for discus- sion in private parties or non-sectar- ian picnic excursions. However, if Princetonians feel that I have at- tacked their institution in any way at all, I would like to extend the olive : | branch about half-way by picking the Tiger team to lick Dartmouth by a couple of touchdowns. Swinging Into That Old Rhythm. THA‘!’ will do for a starter. We will now swing into the rhyming style of forecast which proved so success- 0. ful last week except in a dozen scat- tered cases. Nothing but an unerpected overturn of form’ll Keep Tulane from walloping Louisiana Normal. In one respect, as the critics point out, our verse is considerably superior to_ Dryden’s or Pope's. Those two English poets had a slight edge on us as far as thought goes, but they didn't come out flatfooted and say who would win the ball game. They hedged. We do not hesitate to name the winners. At the ending of the contest, at the finish of the game, The Southern Californians will be trailing Notre Dame. And here is a prediction which will make Lord Byron (Yale '87) turn over in his grave: Fhe gallant Eli cause will be lost on The field of Harvard (right near Boston). Now we have & tip from the South, as the poet S ‘would say: Auburn figures to nose out Ga. (Both of these clubs have been Lehigh over Lafayette. There is one big game in the Far LARDNER oo By spoiling the%record of T. C.U. But Methodist, like a drunken sailor, Will walk all over the boys from Baylor. | A few games seem to be left over | in the East, so we will strum our uku- lele i1 that neighborhood for a min- ute or two. The Ezxperts’ Union is free to bar me If little Vermont upsets the Army. Villanova’s a cinch for Warner, Whose Temple team has turned the corner. They say that they'll die for old Rutgers, and you Can rely upon Colgate to see that they do. While as for those rough and teugh Detroits, They'll beat Duquesne until it hoits. In the Corn Belt. IT ‘WAS in the Big Ten last week that the muse of poetry led your correspondent sadly astray, fooling him on Iowa and Chicago against Purdue and Indiana. Well, the muse of poetry will get one more chance and then it can look for another job, without references. Michigan bows to Ohio State For the second (count ‘em) sea- son straight. Simmons of Iowa (this is a hunch) Will eat the Wildcats for his lunch. I wmgotum out as they ought to do, The Hoosiers will never get past Purdue. There isn’t a single ray of joy For Chicago. She’ll lose to Illinois. And finally: From this belief I will not budge no jot mor mo iota— Wisconsin is the softest sort of touch jor Minnesota. If you can dig up a rhyme for Columbia, bet her to beat Brown. If Eastern, picking up where it left off in its brilliant battle against Cen- |tral, repulsed a first-period Tech 7 | threat which carried to the 6-yard line and then came back to outplay | the Maroop machine the remainder of the game. Eastern Air Play Decides. Failing to make any appreciable gains through Tech’s hard-charging forward wall, the Lincoln Parkers un- leashed a Jack Shugrue-to-Al Kidweil passing attack to gain the verdict. Bob Brand, whose sensational end play was one of the features of the series, paved the way for the Lincoln Parkers’ score when he recoveréd Chubby Nowlin's fumble of Shugrue’s punt on the Tech 35-yard line. Gaining but 2 yards in two plays. Shugrue dropped back and calmiy shot an oblique pass to Kidwell, who romped to the 16-yard line before being knocked out of bounds. Tech’s line braced again to hold for three downs, but Shugrue once more faded back to duplicate his pass to Kidwell, who took the 10-yard heave | yards to a touchdown. Hardell's boys appeared to be well on the way to victory in the first quar- ter when Joe Oehmann, Tech tackle, broke through to smear Shugrue's at- tempted punt and recover for the Maroon on the Eastern 15-yard line. Tech Aerial Fails. Crimmins picked up 9 yards on three running plays, but Krontil muffed & pass near the goal stripe and Eastern | took the ball on downs at the 6. | Shugrue kicked out of danger and from then on it was all Eastern when Kidwell recovered a punt fumbled by | Wells at midfield. | Francis (Dutch) Preller, Tech | guard, was the outstanding lineman | of the day, breaking through the East- | ern forward wall time and again to | smear the Lincoln Park baecks. His | fine play was off-set, however, when | Bob Brand and Allan Miller, Eastern . | ends, raced down under punts to drop Ichh's backs in their tracks. | Crimmins broke away for the longest | run of the day in the fourth quarter | when he sprinted 23 yards to Eastern’s | 47, but a bad pass from center, yards over Crimmins’ head, set Tech back to its 15-yard line. Eastern again threatened as tHe game ended, advancing to the 20-yard | line after Earl Fox intercepted Wells’ | pass on the Tech 30-yard line. Pos. Eastern (7 Tech (0).

LASH HAS TERRIFIC TASK IN LONG RUN Many Believe He Will Drop His National Cross-Country Title to Ottey. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 23.—Don Lash, distance star of Indiana University, will find familiar faces dogging his trail today when he de- fends his national A. A, U. cross- country championship in Van Cort- landt Park. Lash won the title at Iowa City last year after staving off the challenges of Tom Ottey, the 1933-34 intercollegi- ate title holder while at Michigan State; Eino Pentti of the Millrose and Raymond Sears of Butler, 1933 winner. As Lash beats his way over the 10,000-meter route today those three runners again will battle him. There were meny who thought that Ottey, who hails from Merchantville, N. J, and who runs unattached, would prove too much for Lash this time. Seventy~ five harriers were expected to race.
