GENERALS LEAvEf
INDIAN INVASION
Washington and Leo Expecting Hard
Battle With Western
Grfdironists.

Lexington, Va, Oct 2S.-The strug-
gle with Indiana University will estab-
lish new custom on the part OF the
Washington and Lee football team. 1t
will be the first time in the history
Of the university that the West has
been invaded by a General eleven.
And, furthermore, unless the reports
from the Indianapolis papers are
poorly founded, Washington and Lee
will play before a greater number
Of spectators than ever before.
An indianapolis paper is quoted as
expecting 10000 persons to be pres
emit. The game with washington and
Lee Is regarded as the largest on In
diana's schedule, and the date has
been set as alumni rally day. The
Indiana Teachers Convention will be
in session on the day Of the strug-
gle. and will adjourn en- masse to wit
ness the clash. The Generals have
never played before such q tremen-
dous gathering. although record
crowds were In attendance at the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute game in
Roanoke, and at the West Virginia
University conflict IN Chariestown. W
Va.
The Generals left this afternoon for
the scene of battle, a squad of twen-
ty players being forwarded for battle.
Interest Is running high in Lexington
in regard to the outcome OF the strug-
gle and a special wire has been leased
to give the returns, play by play. Ell
cock, the undefeated Washington and
Lee coach. has predicted that the
Eastern eleven will triumph by a
touchdown. The Generals are slight
" battered, but expect to be in shape
by the time the referee blows the
whistle for the opening period.
The struggle with West Virginia IN
dictated two points very strongly. One
was that as an exponent of the for
ward pass, the General eleven was a
wonder. and the other was that Battle
Bagiey. the 130pound successor to
Cy Young, IL a good field general. No
changes are expected In the array be-
fore the International game.
More yards were gained against
West Virginia on forward passes than
through the combined assaults OF the
washington and Lee backneid.
Schultz, the six-foot-four tackle and
captain Il the Generals, advanced
seventy-six yards after receiving for
ward passes from Bagley and Barrett.
