LIGHT WORK HELD
BY YLEX|NGT0N|ANS
Washington and Lee Eleven
Prepares For Game With
North Carolina A. and M,

LEXINGTON, Nov. 22.-Head Coach
Dowd and his assistants are putting the
varsity through comparatively light
work this week in preparation for the
game on Thanksgiving with the North
Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
College. II Washington and Lee wins
this game she will be the undisputed
champions Of the South Atlantic dI-
vision. having played the leading teams
of the section without suffering a single
defeat and without her goal line being
crossed.
The only points registered against the
White and Blue this season were the
result OF a dropkick by Johns Hopkins.
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
the University of North Carolina have
been disposed of. The University Of
West Virginia was defeated % to 0 last
Saturday, and y. {. A. & NJ. are the
only ones between the Generals and the
championship. a. & NJ defeated
Georgetown University u to 0, and
Georgetown. IN turn, walloped the Uni
versity of Virginia.
Thus, a victory over A. & NJ. leaves
w. & L. the title holder, and such is the
attitude taken by the State press.
The line is being carefully drilled
for the Thanksgiving battle. for much
will depend on them In the way Of stop
ping the line plunges of the heavy
TarheeI backs, Tenney and Sullivan.
The Washington and Lee backfield is
showing the best form OF the year.
Beuhrings line bucking and the end
runs of Young and Terry were the fea-
lures of the Vest Virginia game. Young
and Smith are being drilled on punting
and Donahue on drop-kicking.

trip, but they reached Athens a full
three weeks before the opening OF the
games
Ordinarily three weeks is plenty of
time for IN athlete to get fit in, but
the long voyage over seas, on which the
sun beats down with terrific force. so
upset the Australians that they made
sorry showing In the Greek games.
Nigel Barker, with a record OF ISi9
seconds for the quarter mile, was
beaten of in the 4O0-meter champion
ship in the miserable time of 53 Sec
onds. while Wheatley, sure / sc ms 4
in the halfmile. was unable to come
anywhere near two minutes in the
0-meter race.
In international competitions in
which American athletes are forced to
so abroad our teams should be sent
away so that their Journey will not oc-
cGpy over weeks time. and they
snCuld be landed at the scene OF the
genes with just enough time to get rid
OF their sea legs before the competi-
tons start. / do not hesitate to declare
tI'at the brief respite or barely twenty
six hours that our team had at Antwerp
on the trip to Stockholm In 1912 was a
life-saver to the condition of the team.
Mike Murphy realized that. too, for he
sent all hands ashore and every man
OIL the team was given pretty close to
all that he could stand in the way Of
work.
1.-The effect of this limbering up on
the spirits of the men was wonderful
When the team re-embarked on the
Finland the athletes were a different lot
of men. All the nerves pent upf by
nine days at sea had been worked of.
and the men entered the last stage of
their journey quite confident that they
would land in Stockholm In fairly good
condition.

GALLAUDET FACES.
N. A. {. TEAM TODAY
Ancient Gridiron Rivals Clash
on, Field At College Park,
Maryland. I

The interest Of football followers of
Washington is today centered in the
game between Gallaudet College and
Maryland Agricultural College at
College Park. Md. Although between
minor elevens, so far as the college
football constellation is concerned.
the Gallaudet-M. A. C.. game is look
ed to to develop the keenest Of COM
petition, as the institutions are an
cfent gridiron rivals. Indeed, today S
game. at College Park is considered
the most important of any contest in
the vicinity.
Both have made enviable records
this year. and each Is more than an
xious to wind up the schedule with a
victory. In weight the rival teams
appear evenly matched. and have had
the benefit Of clever coaching. II any
advantage is held. ii Is with the Ken
dali Greeners, who present a more
experienced set o fplayers.
There is great rivalry between the
two schools, and nothing that goes to
make a gridiron contest we'll worth
watching will be lacking in today's
game. No admission will be charged.

FEAR FOR SUCCESS
OF u. S. ATHLETES

There seems TO be a feeling generally
IN athletic circles that the Yankee ath-
1etic team that is scheduled to invade
far away Australia this winter will not
meet with the success that has uniform
ly attended the efforts of American ath-
letes in foreign parts in recent years.
Foremost among the cinderpath ex-
perts who are of the opinion that the
American team will not clean up in the
Aatipodes is Lawson Robertson, the
former amateur sprint champion, who
now trains the athletes of the Irish
American Athletic Club. and who is
looked upon as the probable selection
Of the American Olympic committee to
look out for the physical training Of the
Yankee athletes who will go to Berlin
I'm 1915.
RoSertson believes that the task of
keeping the American athletes in any
kind OF condition through the long trip
from San Francisco to Australia Is al
most an impossible one. He says:
Aside from the fact that the Aus
tralian climate is killer of athletic
form. ] believe that the long trip. with

Both left England in fine fettIe. and
they took every precaution to insure

Performance in Australia was in a
mile race. while In races from two to

brilliantly. he failed to score an i'm

Another example of what the Aus

occasion The Australians decided to
play safe and send their men TO Greece

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Nov. 2.-The mid.
shipmen and other friends Of the Naval

a big greeting for the football team this

The coaches did not expect to have

game. and be kept In just long enough

chance OF injuries to the first-team men

This is a heavy and tremendously
strong aggregation. The average weight
Is about lS pounds, and most of the
players are in their fourth year on the
squad. All but Failing have PLAYED in
victories over West Point, uur there is
no man on the team who has done better
work this season than he. Weighing 100

ternoon. as the team will lose 50 many
players by graduation. Prospects along
this line were rather gloomy at the be-
ginning Of the present season, but a
great many new players have devel-
oped in the past two months, and there
will be strong nucleus for a team next
year. These men have to do most of the
work this afternoon.
Every midshipman who is not in the
hospital or being restricted will be on
hand this afternoon, prepared to show
his loyalty to the team. The new songs
