COLLEGES WILL
GET BUSY ON
GRlDIRON TODAY

New York, Oct. 1s-Most of the
more prominent football elevens of
the East are meeting elevens of less
prominence today in what seems the
Ifirst Saturday of practice games of
the season. Brown and Georgetown,
two mighty teams. were in action yes
terday, and will not play again until
next week. Georgetown, with Gilroy
and McQnade in the back field, seems
again to have an outfit of formidable
strength. one which may have to be
kreckoned with at the end OF the sea-
son II any honors are to be distri-
!buted at that time.
West Point probably has the hard
est game of the day to take its atten-
! tton- It's heavy, powerful team is to
/ play the Virginia Military Institute,
/ for years termed the West Point Of
1.-THE South, because OF its military
standing, however and not because
/ OF it's football strength.
This season the Virginia cadets
have an unusually strong eleven, and
KQ<pe td make a bidsfor victory against
Elmer "a sOliphant land the rest of
tie stars on the West Point team. The
| Virginia boys arrived in New York
Hast night, and were quartered here,
but will go to West Point this morn
ing.
Harvard's ''informal' eleven will
get another chance to prove it's
prowess today. when it meets the
Naval Reserve team at Cambridge.
Several of the players who were
practicing on the Harvard varsity
{h4ve Joined some branch Of the SER
ivice in the last week. but young Hor-
ween is left, and Harvard enthusis-
1gt8 believe that in this iyoungster
harvard has enough power to sweep
aside any of the opposing teams
(which invade Crimson territory.
Dartmouth expects no great trouble
against Middlebury However, Mid
[ dlebury has been able to bring out
several strong teams in the past, and
! In this unusual season, in which most
OF the colleges are building teams out
f! or new material. Middlebury might
K 5uSt as well rush to the fore as any
I o{ber eleven.
H West Virginia had such success
+. against the Navy last week that it
; win start against Carlisle today with
supreme confidence. The Navy plays
Maryland State, and should find no
Isuch opposition as obliterated a r.
year record for Gil Dobie last Satur-
day. Most Of the other big teams
Ihave no powerful opponents to meet.

CHAIN ELEVEN ITO
PLAY WINCHESTER
TEAM TOMORROW

The Winchesters Of New Haven
who play the Chain eleven here to-
morrow, have two>of the best football
players in the state in Frechette and
Coogan. They llayed with the
Washington Glee club or the Annex
eleven here in past seasons. Last
year the Winchesters came to this
city and held the Chain team to
tie in a splendid game.
AS the Winchesters have the pick OF
the athletes in the big New Haven
munitions plant, they have been able
to put a strong team on the field.
Manager Kearney OF the Chain team
expects Hurley, Grunwald and Forst
of the local backf1eld will pillow
through the Winchester line and
George Moshier is likely to make one
of his long runs. The game will start
at 8 p. m. at Newfield park and Joe
Waters will act as referee.

EDDIE MAHAN A HERO.

Eddie Mahan, the old Harvard ath-
lete, is having the time of his life
since he joined the marine corps. He
is captain of the Marines football
eleven in Philadelphia and in a game
against Conshohocken few days ago
he made several long runs, scored a
touchdown, kicked a goal from the
field and two goals from touchdowns.
Mahan's efforts resulted in a victory
by II to for his team. Just before
the baseball season closed, Mahan
pitched for the Marines against the
Athletics of the American league and
beat the leaguers by 8 to Z. He will
be captain of the hockey team When,
the ice skating season opens. Outside
of those few diversions Eddie doesn't
know thing about sports.
