Penn man, has been developing good
elevens at Georgia Tech for eight years
and his string of successes reached a
recognized as one of the best men in
the south by reason of the manner in
which he has kept the University of
Georgia in the forefront. Donohue of
Yale is a byword at the Alabama Poly
technic Institute, Familiarity known as
Auburn, and Vanderbilt has little to
regret because of the long connection
1t has had with Dan McGuigin, who
played under Yost at Michigan.

out, but the two decisive victories in
the games with Yale and Harvard
served to put him on more sound
footing than ever. If such could be.
Larry Bankhart could remain at Col

sign there in order to take charge at
Dartmouth.
Farther north the University of vir-

In free parlance. almost owner of the
whole university. Virginia failed to
put out an eleven as versatile and
powerful as some of those that have
represented It. but that was due to a
lack of material more than anything
else. Virginia probably had less capa-
BILE material for its eleven than in
many years. Elcock. after several
successful seasons at Washington .and
Lee, has declined an invitation to re-
turn.
Georgetown's success under Exen-

been retained for another year and
more seasons. Fred Nielsen hardly is
likely to accept an invitation to return

George Washington's policy will be is

next Thursday night IL now seems
probable that each club will enter the
maximum team of ten players. though
either club may limit the number to
eight. While the personnel of the
teams will not be known until the
evening of the match. those who seem
sure of places on their respective teams
are: Zapoleon, Lowell, Walker. Knapp
and Ballou. for the Capital City club.

and Fox for the Washington Chess and
Whist Club There is a possibility that
the contest will be played at the Home
Club instead of the Press Club.
The games in the Janowski-Showal-
ter match. which were won by the
French champion. were hard fought. as
the scores below will testify, OF the
eleven games played, Janowski won
seven. Showalter two and two were
drawn.

they individually are voiceless when
it comes to averting war. If, indeed,

have we that our working class could
effectively delay a war policy? Have
not the actions and statements of the
