Football in the West.

In Western Conference football, where
the Western intercollegiate champion
ship is involved, the situation is already
clearly defined. And this week Saturday
afternoon, out at Minneapolis, the win
ner will be determined when the uni
versities of Minnesota and of Wisconsin
meet in their big game. Both the
Gophers and the Badgers have cleaned
up all opponents. Minnesota, as almost
every follower of college football knows,
is coached by DIR. Williams, than whom
there is no more brainier man in football.
The Badgers, on the other hand, are
being tutored by one Juneau, inexperi-
enced in conference coaching, and hith-
erto identified only with minor college
eIevens. The chances are rather in Min
nesota's favor.
We may now expect to hear the annual
cry from out of the West anent the
relative merits of Eastern and Western
college football. The Westerners would
be traitors to the Western Conference
we're they to admit that the rank and file
of Eastern college elevens has anything
upon the best in the Wild and Woolly. 1t
is a waste of time, pure and simple, to
talk about the possibilities, much less the
probabilities, this year or next, or any
time in the immediate future for that
matter, of big East VS.. West game
at the close of the sectional seasons.
There are many reasons why such a con-
test is impracticable and certainly i'm
probable. One is that all the big varsity
outfits play about all the football they
care TO. But another. and more po-
tent reason, is that there is Western
Conference rule-the Western champion
eleven always coming from the ranks
of the Western Conference, or so-called
Big Nine members-thRt none Of its
teams shall, at any time during the
season, play with any eleven outside
of the conference fold. That is why
Chicago was forced to abandon its an
nual game with Cornell, and why Mich
igan has no chance to play the other
big State universities and natural rivals
q its own part Of the country.

HILLTOP SQUAD
OFF FOR CAMP
IN THE COUNTRY
Blue and Gray Eleven Will Spend
Remainder of Week at
Site in Woods.
ADVANCE SALE OF SEATS LARGE

At noon to-day the entire GEORGETOWN
University football squad will leave the
Hilltop field for Camp Bengar in the
woods. where the men will stay until
Saturday noon. The first time this plan
Of sending the Hilltop football men out
to camp in the woods was tried out
was before the Carlisle Indian game, and
there Is no question but what the new
plan Of getting the men away from the
city just before the game was a great
success.
The daily routine as laid down by the
Blue and Gray coaches. Is identically
the same as that which was in order
before the Indian game last month. Long
signal drills, together with long foot
ball talks play an important part in the
portant factor in all camp life Is the
quiet rest and the substantial training
meals that the Hilltop athletes receive.
The football talks that are given at
Camp Bengar resemble to a great ex-
tent a quiz class. that is held in any of
the different branches OF the local in
stitution. The football executives ex-
plain a play thoroughly in every differ
ent phase, while the strictest possible
attention is required of all the men.
After the lecture is finished the coaches
call on one Of the worthless to explain
the play that has just been discussed.
and thus all the men on the entire squad
are made thoroughly acquainted with the
workings Of all the different formations
and points OF the play.
This evening there will be a mass meet
ing held at the law department Of the
local university, at which several OF the
the old Blue and Gray football players
will deliver short talks to the embryo
lawyers 1t is planned to have the down.
town department Of Georgetown go to
the game Saturday afternoon in a body
accompanied by a band OF forty pieces
of music. Judging from the interest that
Is manifested in the different branches
Of the local school over the game this
week. there will be one of the largest
cheering sections that has ever been
seen on a field in this section of the coun-
try.
Tickets for the Virginia
game were put on sale at the different
shorting goods stores last evening, and
from the number OF reservations that
have already been made, there will not
be single seat left on the Hilltop field
long before the battle starts. Advance
orders from every section of the country
are being received by the West End
management in every mail. and these.
together with the number of orders that
awaited the opening of the ticket sale.
will undoubtedly put a big hole in the
number Of seats that are for sale. 1t is
the opinion of those who are in charge
and in close touch with the affairs on
the Hill that the sale of tickets for Sat
urday's game will break all previous rec
ords.
after noon tomorrow. and the advance
sale OF tickets will close tomorrow night.
after which time tickets will not be OBJ
tainable until the opening OF the box Of
fee on the Hilltop Saturday at 12:3o

Army Eleven Works Hard.

W Point. n. Y. Nov. l3.-There was
no let-up for the Army team to-day, the
coaches driving the men through short
but swift scrimmage. The scrubs were
augmented by the appearance at tackle
OF Weyand, who got in the game to-day
for the first time this season, having been
held up by conditions Weyand weighs
close to 200 and If he gets in shape will
add great strength to the Army forwards
None of the first string of backs were in
to-day's game. Prichard drove the first
team from the quarter position for the
first time since the Indiana game. De-
wore seemed to have gotten back to his
stride to-day, breaking through once or
twice and stopping several scrub plays
before they got under way. There was
nc scoring.

Always a 300 Hitter.


Only once during his eight years as a
Detroit Tiger has Cobb batked as low as
800. This was in 1906, the year he Joined
the club.
In speaking of Cobb's prowess, the
Detroit News says in part:
For the last three years Ty has an
average of .4O5. In each Of these years
he received a salary OF 5000. II Frank
]. Navin had been paying Cobb 5000 a
year for his batting alone, every point In
the Georgian's average would have cost
the president of the Detroit club frac-
ton over so @"
The official American League averages,
just made public, show that Cobb for the
sixth successive season led the Ban John
son circuit in hitting with a mark of 40 in
$40 games. Tyrus came to bat $50 times,
cracked out 81 hits, including seven
home runs, twenty-three triples, thirty
doubles and 167 singles, besides stealing
sixty-one bases.
Is Ty Cobb worth a $4,000 salary in
1913? Ask yourself the question. The
batting averages amassed by the peach
would seem to say yes.

years Sam Langford, the Boston Tar
Baby" this afternoon knocked out Sam
Mcvey, his negro rival in seeking the
worlds championship.
The end Of the battle came in the thir-
teenth round, after Langford had given
McVey a terrific beating. The two ne
groes appeared evenly matched for the
first five rounds, but after that Langford
showed fbetter condition and easily land
ed the lquietus in the thirteenth round.
To-dafs fight was the sixth in which
the meh had met. Mcvey was cham
pion OF Australia and Langford was
champidn of England, although both are
Americans. They are bitter enemies.
Langfdrd. gave McVey terrific punish
ment. In only two of the thirteen
rounds did McVey have any chance. In
the second and third he had a shade the
better of. the argument. He landed fire.
quently with both hands to the body
during these rounds, but the punches
did not seem to worry the Boston negro
a bit.
In the thirteenth Langford hammered
Mcvey upagainst the ropes and pumped
IN lefts and rights 70 the face until Nc
