| last years championship aggregation is
back in school, and with the new men
who are out for the eleven should be
machine than the Quakers have yet pre-
scented.
Something is wrong. Whether 1t Is the
coaching system or something else, 1t Is
Ger tain that whatever Is hindering the de-
We opment of the eleven should be sought
out and eliminated. Unless 1t is, there is
small probability of the QuakerS getting
away with a single victory this year.
Even though no game had been secured
for the Georgetown eleven for Saturday.
I is questionable il it would have been
any the worse for 1t. It will be recalled
that last year the Blue and Gray players
we're in superb condition when they faced
the Virginia eleven. and yet ely had no
played a game since they had met the
University of Pittsburgh two weeks be-
re. 1t is probable that the HilltopperS
would be in just as good condition as II
they had no game a all.
In spite of the discouraging reports
that are being sent out from Virginia, 1t
not likely that the eleven which will
represent that school against Georgetown
will be as weak or as much inferior to
the one which will wear the blue and
gray as one would suppose. Virginia has
undoubtedly better team than that
which represented 1t last season, and will
come to Washington prepared to put up
season. There is not much probability
that Georgetown will have a walkover
by any means, and 1t will probably have
to fight for every inch of the way

ROBERTSON SIGNS
W|THNEW WORKERS
Sensational Pitcher From the
TideWater League Said to
Be Another WathaWscn.

NEW YORK. November ?.-That the
Giants pitchinr stat viii be strengthen
ed by another Ma hewson In the re emily
signed Davis Robertson is the opinion
of experts qualified to express an opinion.
Judging by the record Of the new
conner, the prediction carries considerable
wei ut and ii is safe to reckon that John
J. McGraw has annexed the most for
midable pitcher that will don a major
league uniform for the first time next
season.
Robertson's superb pitching last season
attracted the attention of the sharps
whose duty it is to discover class in the
minors. They, however. were beaten TO
this particular transaction by the astute
mana er of the New York team
Robertson pitched through last summer
for the Elizabeth City IN. CO team. in
the Tidewater League. winning twenty
five out of twenty-sdx games In one OF
those games he struck out nineteen men.
He can play first-class game at first
base and in the outfield. He is q crack
hitter and is marvellous base runner.
Robertson Is a left-handed pitcher and
his sty'e of delivery is such that IL is
predicted he will continue in his present
form for many seasons to come Besides
possessing all of the qualifications of a
sterling boxman Robertson has stamina
seldom equaled by a speedy pitcher His
powers of endurance Will be manifest
during the struggle of the late summer
ana autumn, time when those that
come to hand early have stalled off.
Robertson is nineteen years Of age. six
feet one and weighs 1!io pounds lie *
well proportional In every respect, and
in addition is topped of with a head that
contains gray matter.
This big fellow il a native of Norfolk.
Va. and he WAS broui hit Ia the attention
of McGraw by William Hanan. a base ball
man who first gave Mathewson employ
ment I'm professional bah and sold him t.
the Giants. Hanan and his friends say
that Robertson is another Christy Ma
thewson.
Robertson will not join the New York
team before June !. because he is at
tending the Agricultural and Mechanics
School at Raleigh, n c., and wants Ia
finish his course. Although saneuine or
meeting with success in the major league
Robertson Is modest when approached OH
the subject, and thus far has refused to
be quoted on the forecast score.

DEATH OF OSCAR BIELAsKI.
Member of the Nationals Years Ago
Stricken With Heart Failure.

Oscar Bielaski. many years ago a player
on the old National base ball team,
dropped dead yesterday afternoon shortly
after o'clock at 9th and G streets north
west.
The funeral ARRANGEMENTS are being
made by Burnside Post. G. A. R.. of
which he was a member. Interment will
be in Arlineton.
Mr.. iBelaski, who was sixty-four years
of age. was employed in the auditor
office of the Navy Department. He was
about to board a street car yesterday aft
ernoon when he was stricken with heart
trouble and fell to the street. He died
before a doctor could be summoned.
Coroner hewitt made an investigation and
gave the necessary death certificate.
He was a brother of Rev. Alexander
Bielaski, former pastor Of the Ryland
Methodist Episcopal Church and now pas
tor of a church at Annapolis, Md His
widow, three sons and two daughters
survive him.
Mr.. Bielaski was born in this city and
lived in Washington nearly all his life.
His work on the amateur base ball teams
of the Nationals and Mr.. Bielaski played
with that team for several years. Later
he played in Chicago on the White Sox.
Retiring from base ball, Mr.. BelasN en-
tered the government service and had
been employed there ever since. He was
a member of the Royal Arcanum.

BY n. C. BYRD.

AT present there are two teams in the
country which loom up as being stronger
than any Of the others. They are Car
Isle and Minnesota. In spite OF the fact
that in predicting the probable cham
pionship eleyens these two teams have
scarcely been mentioned by the eastern
critics, there does not seem any reason
able doubt that IL either of the two men
toned schools were to meet either Har-
ward. Princeton or Yale. they would be
favored as probable winners.
So far this year in picking probable
championship eleven there are only tire
teams which have been considered to any
great extent-Harvard, Princeton and
Yale. Pennsylvania Is generally among
the chosen ones as being in the running
Of the championship. but the three beat
ings administered to It In succession by
Brown, Penn State and the Indians have
championship possibilities are concerned.
Neither Yale nor Princeton. which two
schools are now favored for the leader
snip. has made any such record as have
the Indians and Minnesota Both War
ner and Williams. the Carlisle and Mime
sofa coaches, have developed elevens
which are the most powerful that have
represented the schools in years. and
which compare at least favorably with
any other teams in the country. The
Indians have shown themselves to be
possessed of one Of the most powerful
offensive teams in the east, and Mime
sofa has done likewise in the West.
1t is certain that the style of play Of
both teams Is just as good as that in
vogue at either Of the so-called Big Four
institutions. That the Minnesota style
is as good as that at Yale is certain from
the fact that last year. with the intro
duction Of only two of that teams plays
by Shevlin on the eve of the Harvard
game. was sufficient to cause brace
which ended In 20 score against a
team which was considered as being
much better. If one Of the Minnesota
plays could accomplish such results it Is
hardly likely that the entire system
which Williams has developed Is III any
way inferior to that in vogue at tie New
Haven institution. The Indian system Is
well known in this part OF the country
and is recognized as being among the
best
When the time for the final rating OF
the elevens comes there is little doubt
that, providing the two mentioned teams
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-11-09

maintain their present high standard,
they will BOTH be rated at the top of the
list which shows the standing of the
various college elevens.
Western and Eastern meet tomorrow
to decide which snail have the honor OF
holding down a mythical second place in
the high school series this year. East
ern seems confident that 1t will win. Last

team than that which now represents
the school. Eastern trimmed the Western
eleven and with the confidence gained
from that victory and also from the Is
to q victory over Business a week ago
it feels that 1t cannot lose to the Req
and White in the contest tomorrow after
noon.
Whether or not Eastern will win is a
question. There is no doubt that it has
a gritty eleven and that it will do it's ut
most to get away with a victory. The
Red and White aggregation is not in the
best of shape. one or two of the best men
on the squad having bruises received in
the Tech game and which are slow to
heal. Eastern will probably play its best
game of the year. Western is not likely
to show worse than 1t has in any Of its
previous contests. The experience gainen
in the Tech and Central games has done
the inexperienced men who composed the
team I'm the main great deal of GOOD
and many of them should show more
ability tomorrow than in either of the
previous contests.
A close, hard battle is apt to be the
result of the meeting. AT least, it appear s
that such will be the result.
It is stated on good authority that the
fault with the team which Pennsylvania
has placed in the field this year is due
i'll a great measure to the coaching sys-
tenn. 1t has been held that the best men
at the school have not been played, and
also that a policy which has been far
from right has been adopted in regard to
the development of the material at hand.
The statement made by Mike Murphy the
veteran trainer. should count for a great
deal in regard to the matter in question
That he has threatened to resign because
his suggestions. when he has offered a
word to the effect that If the system were
changed something might be accomplish
ed. were disca rded, and he was personally
treated in a manner that was not ut all
courteous, would seem to indicate that all
is not as easy sailing around Franklin
Field these days as one might suppose
There is no doubt that Pennsy vania al
ways has good material from which to
build Its teams, and 1t is not probable
that this year there is such poor indi-
vidual ability among the candidates that
a team cannot be mustered to make a

MAY LEAVE QUAKERS
Mike Murphy May Not Coach
Penn Again.
SAYS HE WILL RESIGN
Determination Said to Have Arisen
From Dispute in Regard to
Foot Ball Policy.

Michael c. Murphy will leave the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania at the close of
the present collegiate year of 1911-12. he
made this statement yesterday to an in
innate friend. The cause of his determi-
nation to leave Penn has been brought
about by difference of opinions concern
ing the coaching and training of the foot
ball eleven.
Despite the fact that Mr. Murphy has
been grossly sighted, if not actually in
suited by those in charge of the foot ball
team, he is loyal to Pennsylvania and her
cause. He absolutely will not utter a
word in justification of his position or In
condemnation Of those opposed to his
views. He will not talk upon any phase
of the present foot bah situation at
Pennsylvania. His only comment to sew
eral questions yesterday was. You know
some loot ball and have eyes. | cannol
prevent you from using them
1t is the general feeling among the
undergraduates and students at Pennsyl-
vania that the foot ball team has not
made the showing this year that the ma
terial warrants. 1t is conceded that the
men composing the squad are not excep-
tional in ability, but no one will deny that
they possess average foot ball merit.
But up to the present time the sucee sS
OF the eleven mas nafQly Deen tHdt Oh an
average team.
In looking for the cause of PENIS foot
ball trouble 1t Is on.y natural that the
coaching system and staff should be held
accountable in some measure. Quaker
teams for several years have been devel-
oped under system that consisted OF an
advisory board Of coaches. a chairman
Of the board and field coach. The
policies of this board are supposed to be
reflected in the instructions of the field
coach to the men on the field. Whether
this has been done this year Is not known.
But it is positive fact that one man has
dominated the coaching on the field this
season.

GEORGETOWN MAKING

of the Season-WiII
Change Style.

With all the veterans out on the grid
ron yesterday, with the exception OF
Nike Cunniff, the Georgetown University
foot ball squad went through a snappy
signal drill. which was followed by a
short scrimmage. The play was of the
highest caliber throughout. and the Blue
and Gray eleven seems to be striking
even a better pace than it set in the
Army game, if such ming is possible.
All during the entire workout in both
the signal drill and the scrimmage the

against the scrubs yesterday, although
they have not reached a state of perIec-
ton as yet.
Jim Dunn, last years varsity left half
back. was in the signal drill and scrim-
mage practice yesterday for the first Tune
IN several weeks. Dunn is a star back
held man, excelling on the offensive, but
has been greatly handicapped by badly
spraned leg. which he received cary
in the season. However, the big fellow
says that he has fully recovered from
MS injury and wants to get in shape Tor
the big game that is to come a week
from Saturday. Whether or not Dunn
can regain his old-time form In a little
over a week still remains to be seen, but
there is one thing that is certain, and
that is that if Dunn gets into shape
he will be of great assistance to the
Blue and Gray outfit in the remaining
games that are to come this season.
The Hilltop management has practical
lily settled arrangements with the man
ager of the Vigilance Athletic Club to
have the latter's team play on the Hill
top next Saturday. The team represent
ing the athletic club is probably the
strongest amateur aggregation in the
vicinity and should not only put up a
good game with the Blue and Gray war;

a great deal in preparing the West End

to come on the 18th.
