c. j. AND A. AND N.
BOTH ARE STRONG
Two of Best EIevens in South
to Face Each Other Here
Saturday.
CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA
WILL PLAY BIG GAME
Contest Rightfully Can Be Claimed
to Be for the Southern
Championship.
BY H. C. BYRD.

TWO of the strongest foot ball teams
in the south will face each other Sat
urday. when Georgetown and the North
Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
College meet in what is certain to be
the most bitterly and brilliant fought
contest of the year. A. and NJ. comes
here efficiently coached by Jack Heg-
artN. 4 former Georgetown man. with
a veteran eleven. and ii will go against
a like combination of players coached
by E,Nendinc, former Carlisle player.
The main strength of \. and NJ is in
it's backteld. while GeorSetown's great
est power lies in it's line. The Raleigh
institution has set of backs second
to none in the south. and they proba bly,
are superior to any other quartet.
Playing the halfback positions are Rid
dick and Townshend. the former d
member of the A. and NJ. eleven for the
last three years and the latter a new
man from the riverside Academy of
Georgia. Eiddick weighs 1885 and
Town:-hend about 100.
At fullback is Tenney, who balances
the scales at more than 1870 pounds.
and he is fast with his weight. Ten
ney. besides having had prep school
experience. held down job as d regu-
lar at Brown University. Van Brock
lin, the quarterback, was star end
at Andover. and played while at
Georgetown in the fall of 1912. A. and
Ms line. while not composed of star
players. is heavy and strong. one that
will afford great resistance 10 any style
of play directed toward it.
The Georgetown team also is well
coached combination. and there arc
several players of experience i'll its
lineup. Besides the former prep
school stars. there are a former Dick
inson player. PauNtis: Noark. who
used to hold down place in the back
field OF Irsinus college: Gormley, who
has played at Catholic University and
Eillanova: I'etritZ and Kelley. who
have been regulars AT Georgetown Tor
some time. and Cusack, local boy,
who has been doing some splendid
work at end for the last two years.
With players of the caliber of these
mentioned making up the two elevens
and with both well coached, ii is likely
that one of the greatest contests IN the
south this season will be staged on the
hilltop 1t will be a conflict in which
| the open style of play will be employed
to considerable extent, and there also
will be plenty of the driving tactics that
so delight the real foot ball followers.
| Georgetow,s line has stood against the
fierce charges of some good backs this
year. and yet it will be called upon to
face one of the most powerful players
that has yet attempted to pierce it when
Tenney is to be stopped Tenney eN-
perienced little trouble driving his way
| through the Navy forwards. and any
back who can do that is to be feared.
The Catholic University eleven is to
go to Newark this week to play the
team representing Delaware College,
and there is little doubt that the
Brooklanders will return with vic
| tory. They have been improving with
every days work and there appears to
| be little doubt that the Delaware ag-
gregat ton will not be able to show suf-
| iicient resistance to the clever backs
| of c. E. to prevent the latter from
scoring. and the chances are that if the
| Brooklanders can successfully with
stand the attacks of the Gallaudet
backs those OF Delaware will not be Il
source of worry.
| For the first time in the history Of foot
| ball relations between North Carolina
and Virginia they will fight for the
/ southern championship Of the gridiron at
i Richmond in their regular Thanksgiving
day conflict. Virginia and North Caro-
! lima have defeated Georgia and Wander
! biit decisively and there will be few to
dispute the right of either eleven to the
championship after it wins in the annual
contest, provided. of course, the game is
| played to decision 1t also would seem
that for the first time in many years
! North Carolina will enter the game on
even terms with Virginia. The TarheeIs
won from Georgia much more decisively
than did the Charlottesville school, but
Virginia. the other hand. did whole
! lot better work against Vanderbilt.
