STATE COLLEGE STAR
SEVERELY INJURED
Right Guard Morninsway Out for
Season-Preparing for Tar Heels.

On the eve OF the big game at Cen
trail stadium, between Maryland State
College and the North Carolina State
College, Coach Byrd. of the Farm
ers" has been handed a jolt. Morning
way, the big linesman who has been
holding down the right guard posi-
tlon in the center OF the State College
line. had his knee dislocated yester-
day In scrimmage practice. He was
taken to the Garfield Hospital and the
doctors their pronounced that he will
be out for the season.
Morningway was one Of the best
players in the new line of the State
College team. Coach Byrd will at
tempt-to fill the gap in the final prac-
tice session today. but II Is hardly
likely that an available substitute can
be obtained to fill his position in the
same style Of this youngster.
Permission was obtained yesterday
by the Maryland State College au-
thorities for the use of the Mt. Pleas
ant stadium. Five years ago the Tar
Heels handed the Farmers a trim
ming but even under the circum-
stances OF entering this fray in a
weak condition, the Marylanders are
confident of winning this contest.
Georgetown Is speeding up for the
Fordham contest in New York on
Tuesday. Coach Exendine put the
the squad through the hardest kind of
work yesterday. The Preps and fresh
men are still working Fordham plays
against the Hilltoppers in the scrim-
mage drill while the varsity eleven is
going through q new grind OF aerial
heave which they intend to use
against the Bronx team on election
day.
Georgetown scouts have looked over
Gilmour Dobie's Navy eleven. and are
daily practising against plays which
the Navy team Is using this season.
Exendine has twofold method in
practicing the forward heave as this
line attack Is expected to be the big
one in the Navy battle on Saturday,
November 10.

Georgetown TOSSERS
REPORT FOR WORK
Forward Fees May Not Play As He
Is Ordered to Report to Army.

Georgetown University basketball
players were not going to allow the
George Washington squad TO get down
to work ahead OF them. Coach John
O'Reilly issued a hurried call yester-
day for basketball candidates TO re-
port Twenty men. including four
veterans. from last seasons quint.
were op hand for the first drill at
shooting the ball.
Capt. McNulty. who played the cen
ter position last season; OI.one and
Fees. the crack forwards, and Cashin.
in a guard position. were the veterans
that were on hand. There is a raft
OF good material in the new players.
and prospects for a good quint at the
Hilltop this season are better than
had been expected.
O'Reilly was handed quite a Jolt
after the short workout when Johnny
Fees, who was ranked as the best
goal shooting player I'm the South At
lantic division last season, made
known that he had been given his
twenty-fourth notice to report to the
new national army. Fees is from
Lockport. Pa. and was drawn in the
first quota, and Will report with the
Pennsylvania selected men at Camp
Meade, Nd. Work was started imne-
diately by the Hilltop authorities to
get Fees exempted until after he has
finished his college course. as he is a
third-year man in the dental schoo!.
Practice will be held daily by the
squad. The schedule for the season
Is not Yet coIHplete. but will be an
nounced some time this week.
Basketball practice for the candi-
dates OF the George Washington I-ni-
versity tosscr was not held in the
Y. NJ. c. A. gym last night. The can
didates reported TO Coach Bertram
Groesback at the college. and plans
for the season were talked over. Many
new candidates, along with three vet
Grams, were on hand.

Booming Sisler.

st. Louis critics, who are pan
ming Fielder Jones because the
Browns finished In the American
League cellar have nominated
George Sisler for the management
OF the team. Sisler Is one of the
geatest players in baseball. He
has made wonderful progress at
the bat and in covering first base.
He is a college graduate and is
extremely popular with players
and fans. The Mound City scribes
argue that the Browns will play
better ball for Sisler than for
Jones. and that Owner Ball should
appoint the former at once. In the
opinion of many smart baseball
men, Jones never will put the
Browns In the running, for the
reason that the players do not like
him, and his methods are behind
the times.

CAMP MEADE HAS
A GOOD ELEVEN

Camp Meade. Nd, Oct. a.-The
Camp Meade officers football team is
down 20 real hard practice in prepa-
ration for their clash with the strong
United States Marine Corps eleven.
now stationed at League Island Navy
Yard. The contest will take place
Saturday afternoon at Shibe Park.
Philadelphia, and promises to be one
of the greatest games of the year.
The Meade officers at present can
boast of one of the best elevens in
the country. having a number of for
mer college stars on their squad. One
OF the best-known men who will be
in their line-ups is Welsh. a Carlisle
Indian and a former teammate of the
famous Jim Thorpe. 1t is said that
he has lost none OF his football skill
and can buck a line in his oldtime
form

HIGH SCHOOL GAME
IS CARDED TODAY

The fourth game in the high school
football league will be played this af-
ternoon In the Central stadium when
Eastern will meet Business for the
cellar title. Both elevens have lost
their first starts and the winner this
afternoon will come out OF the cellar
and have chance for second honors.
Business will have little advantage
over Eastern as the Capitol Hill team
is new one that is not familiar with
defense and IL takes time to whip a
green squad OF men into playing to-
gether. Eastern has a midget back
field, but once either Thomas or
Sweeney get loose they are likely to
romp down the length Of the field.

RALPH G0EENLEAF
LOSES TO SHERMAN

Frank Sherman, veteran pocket bill
HARDEST, Of this city. dug up his old
Championship form last night and beat
Ralph GrecnlCaf, OF Monmouth, Ill,
70 to %. Mr.. Sherman not only found
his natural stroke. but played his old
time position strategy 10 perfection
and the result was never in doubt
after the first rack.
Sherman took the lead from the
start and held 81 to the cn6. Green
leaf made a very successful run from
. balls and but Tor one bit Of bad luck
on the SSth ball, might have caught
his opponent In the last rack Sher-
man had II balls to go. He played
along easily until 10 had been pocket
ed, and, suTpcs.uE he had enough shot
carelessly and left himself in a bad
hole.
From this he extricated hir.self with
a difficult bank shot from the upper
left hand corner TO the side pocket
Greenlcaf is in WASHINGTON FOR two
more nights. He will play Charles
Bartelmes tonight and Mr.. Sherman
again tomorrow night.
After the game Mr.. Greenleaf gave
an exhibition Of difficult fancy shots

IL the offer of President J. c. Dunn.
of the Cleveland club, Is accepted by
the United States government
The chief owner OF the Indians has
volunteered the services OF the Dunn
and Mccarthy Construction company
intact to build new railroads or re-
construct old ones for the use Of the
United States army In Europe. and
is awaiting the reply Of the govern
ment officials.
Mr.. Dunn's organization has been
engaged in the construction of a rail-
road in Indiana, but the work Is so
near completion that the rails have
been connected up and within a short
time the entire force OF the company
will be at the disposal OF the govern
ment for transportation to France II

Heine Zimmerman, OF the New York
Giants, has come to the front with
a statement that settles all arguments
as to whether he or Bill Rariden was
responsible for the play that let Ed
die Collins score the first run in the
final game OF the world series and
that indirectly resulted in Chicago's
winning of the set.
Inferentially Zim places the blame
on Holke, the first baseman, who
should have covered the plate, but
who was acting in the role of a spec
tator. Holke covered his bag, nat
urally. when Felsch hit to Benton
with Collins on third and jackson on
first. But as soon as Benton threw
to Zimmerman. all chances for a play
at the initial sack ended, and Holke's
place was at the plate. inasmuch as
the pitcher, who otherwise would
have covered. had gone over to third
when he tossed the ball.
