whaddya mean. the South Atlantic
championship?
Some time ago Jack Hegarty, who
captured the last victorious George
town team over Virginia, rather
chestily said that he had a team that
would win the South Atlantic cham
pionship. He predicted victory over
Georgetown and after his eleven had
walloped the Blue and Gray to a stand
still Hegarty was still confident OF
winning the title.
On Saturday when Carolina A. and
Al. met Virginia Military Institute. at
Richmond, Hegarty's charges were
ington cadets. Jack Hegarty's title as
pirations appear to have been blown to
thin air when il is considered that Vir-
ginia sneared v. NJ. /. by IS to Z, hav-

EXPECT TO DEFEAT ARMY

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. l0.-The
standing of this years Naval Academy
eleven among the football teams of the
country, assuming that its record VIII
be maintained in the remaining games
an dthat the season will be crowned by
another victory over the Military Acad-
emy. is topic of interest here. Every
member of the Navy contingent is con-
fident that the team is the best in the
country, and that it would have won
from ny of theam on Saturday when
Bucknell was defeated 20 to z. 1t Is
pointed out that Bucknell's score was
made in the third period, when the
Navy had in q nearly complete substi-
tute eleven, and did not itself score.
Using its full strength to the limit
the Navy could undoubtedly have pleo
up an even larger score.
1t is admitted that the absence of the
big names in the football world from
the Navy schedule makes direct COM
parison impossible, but it is believed
here that no other team could have run
Iehigh and Bucknen Off Of their feet in
the way the Midshipmen did Incident
ally, the Navy can now feel that its
revenge for the three defeats Of last
season is complete. Lehigh and Buck
nell, two of the teams that won last
year, have been slaughtered while
Swarthmore. the third OF the victorS
was defeated Saturday, 80 to 0, by Le-
high Consequently, the Navy can feel
that Il has demonstrated that 1t is in
a class above, all three this year. A
number of Bucknen men who saw the
Navy-Bucknell game both years could

almost identical in both games, but such
is the case, nine of the players being the
same.
West Points big score over Albright
proved warning to the Navy leaders
that overconfidence will not do. Sun
everyone here is very confident of vic
tory though no doubt is felt that West
Point will play stronger game against
the Navy than it has against any other
opponent The showing of the soldiers
against Colgate and Albright makes 1t
clear that there is the right stuff at West
point notwithstanding the somewhat
sorTy showing against Notre Dame, and
the coaches are acting accordingly. The
scrinlmaEec during the week are not
long, ana are frequently omitted entire
ly and every precaution is being taken
TO prevent any of the players from get
ting stale.
few of the friends of the team are
a little nervous about a possible slump
occurring so near the end of the season
that il will be impossible to get the team
in shape again, but this is really "a most
unlikely thing. Head Coach Howard
and Field Coach Reilly have handled the
team with most excellent judgment
throughout the season and are relied
upon TO so shape the work of the team
that ii will be in the best form just
before the final game.
Eight or nine of the team, as ii will
be finally made up, will face the Army
lads no more and this circumstance will
be enough to assure an absolutely des-
perate attempt on the part of these to
finish their course with fourth sue
ceSsive triumph.

The tide of affairs in bowling circles
at this particular stage Of the season Is
being well compared by many Of the
foremost exponents of the games, to
that time of the baseball season when
the teams have been around the cir
cult for their first time and have play
ed all of the opposing teams at least
one series.
In simple and more dinect terms the
teams in the respective leagues have
just about had a chance to size each
other up and each man is getting
line on the style of game he must
roll in order to keep his job and keep
his team well up in the race, which is
rapidly rising in temperature.
Something of the chances which the
many teams have in their respective
leagues may be CLEANED from close
perusal of the official averages, indi-
vidual and team, which, in many in
stances, have just been published for
the first time this year. Like their
brothers IN baseball, first and second
division teams are adopted by the
bowlers, and il is the belief of many
that the present standings are fndica-
tive of the positions in which many OF
the teams will finish. However, the
margins of leadership in many in
stances are narrow and those who
count too strongly on the early posi-
tiops the teams have taken are more
than likely to live to see radical
changes. even before mid-season av-
erages are compiled.
Here are some of the standings:

Dartmouth Superiority
Is Shown By Figures

The superiority of the Dartmouth
eleven over the Quakers is shown by
the figures kept by the statisticians.
They show that Dartmouth gained
23s yards on rushing, against 175 for
Penn. The Green made nine first
downs. against four for Penn. In the
first half the Green's nine punts aver
aged forty yards. PENIS eight averag-
ing thirty-five yards. In the second
half both teams averaged forty-five
cards on their kicks, Dartmouth punt
ing nine times and Penn four times.
Penn ran back kicks for 1o5 yards, as
against forty-eight for Dartmouth.
Dartmouth tried thirteen forward
passes, Penn nineteen. Six of the
Green were uncompleted and thirteen
of the Quakers'. Five of Dart
mouths We're intercepted and three of
PENIS. Dartmouth gained 152 yards
on forward passes, Penn lis. Dart
mouth was penalized six times, Penn
three. Dartmouth lost thirty-five
yards on penalties and Penn twenty
fve.
Each team fumbled four times, Dart
mouth losing the ball three times and
Penn twice.
