Georgetown University star had signed
| a contract to take charge Of the Sail
ors. continuing his work OF last season.
Tie Navy. under Col!ifloTer's d!rec-
ton. enjoyed. an exceedingly success
full schedule, and all the more credit
! was due the coach because he vas
| compelled TO work almost entirely with
| green mel. The Navy had an under
| standing with Colliiiower a th. end OF
! last season that he vas 20 return, hut
| matters We're not definitely settled uu
! til a few days ago.
| The Navy mentor started his basket
bail career in college 2 member Of
| the Georgetown team. He played
| brilliantly at forward, showing a Keen
ness in diagnosing plays that augured
| well Tor his work as 4 coach III later
! days. Coll;aower began coaching at
| Georgetown and his teams went
+, through successful, schedules repeated
| ~.
one of the ;uost notable victories won
was over Princeton In fact. any big
team tina: faced Georgetown could not
i be considered as much of tavorite.
Last year Collifower Went dom to
coach the Navy. and so successful was
| he with green material that his team
was defeated but twice during tn" sea
son. Swarthmore, with its greet QU:nt.
barely won after playing az extra five
minutes to decide a tie, and New YORK
University was victor over II %! Two
be skets. The University OF Penns!+l-
ba MA Georgetown. Catholic University,
Virginia and others went down before
the Sailors. The Navy gave ColllHoWef
full credit for his work and took steps
Immediately to obtain his services tor
this season.
The final foot ball game of the sea-
son will not take place until January
| /, when the University OF pehnsyl-
vania is to play in California against
the University of Oregon. This con-
test makes PENIS season the longest
any college eleven has this year. as
it began September IS and lasts until
January /. OF course, there is con-
siderable interim between the strug-
gle with Cornell tomorrow and the
game with oregon New Year DAY puI
after brief rest practice PERIODS VIII
be put in proba bly, three days OF each
week at least Brown University
played in California last New \ ear ana
was defeated by the Washington state
College by Ii to ..
The showing of the Maryland state
team today against Hopkins in Ball-
more depends largely on the cohdltiCiL
the field is in. The State eleven mas
done most of it's ground gaming Oh
Quick breaks through the line, decep-
tive split plays and short dashes around
end. A hard, sure footing is necessary
for this kind of play to succeed, par
ticularly when the backs are llght.
The state team has not been compelled
to play on q soggy field this year SO
far and there is no telling what IL
will be able to accomplish uhder such
condition.
Gov Harrington and many other
nro1ninent men have accepted invita-
tions of the State College Athle'ic AS
sociation to be present at the eane.
The probabilities are that there VIII be
more prominent persons at the contest
than have ever before attended sriu-
Iron struggle ill Maryland
The state team starts with lineup
somewhat changed from what IL mas
been during the year. Stubbs and mac
donald are to begin at ends, oberllii
and Posey at tackles, Kishpaush and
Into at guards. Williams AT center
Fletcher and Brewer at hal1backs'
Michael at fullback and smith at quar-
ter.
George Washington will have the
best lineup against Georgetown TO-DAY
that it has placed in a contest TINS year.
Every man on the team has had con,
siderable experience. Niederha user ana
Eckendorf, the two ends. have played
a lot Of foot ball The former was a
member Of the O5erlin College eleven
and the latter starred at Iechnlcai
Hirh and with local athletic clubs.
Kerr. left tackle. formerly was
member Of the Bates College eleven |
and last year held down the position AT
Catholic University Supplee. the 9TH
er tackle. was an all-star selection at
Technical High three wears ago. lie
did not play last season one or tne
guards GeneSse, was the center on the
Colgate team in 1915. and Harmon, the
other guard was a member of the
squad at West Virginia University.
Giacomo. quarterback, was star on
New England scholastic Sridirons.
burke and Heferman played. respec-
lively, with the University of Kansas
and Syracuse University freshman
teams last fall, and Hills, fullback,
was a star in that position at Oberlln
As far as experience is concerned. the
Georgetown team has nothing on the
Hatchetites.
George Washington will have three
local men in its lineup and George
town one. Eckendorf. Supplee and Glib
lin will wear the Buff and Blue and
Cusack the Blue and Gray Eckendorf
and Supplee played at Tech. Giblin at
Western and Cusack at the George
town Prep School.
A great many North Carolina and
Virginia men left here this morning for
Richmond. to take in the contest be
tween the University Of Virginia and
the University of North Carolina The
two institutions play the most impor
tant and prominent game of the year in
Virginia and they annually draw one of
the biggest crowds that watch games
in this section.
Considering the fact that Brown won
from Yale and Harvard and that Yale
defeated Colgate, il should win from
Colgate in the game today at Pr"vi
dencc. However. Brown has depended
upon speed and the dodging abilities of
it's backs for the most of its gains and
the heavy turf may have quite an cf-
feet on the result.
