GILMORE D0BIE'S TEAM
SWAMPS INDIAN ELEVEN

ANNAPOLIS Md, Oct. 21.-Gilmour
Dobie owns Annapolis today, and
they are saying that the miracle man
OF the Pacific coast is beginning to
show his fine hand. Dobie's eleven
threw Carlisle's much-touted team
all over the field yesterday, rolling up
sixty-one points.
In the navy backfeld Ingram.
Roberts and Butler were in fine fet-
tie. The forward pass played a con
spicuous part in the scoring, and
Navy followers are beginning to waks
up to the possibilities that apparent
iy have been thrown away in past
years. '-'
Carlisle was no match for the
alert Navy team, and failed TO ad-
vance the ball on many occasions.
Navy had control OF the ball
during practically all Of the game.
The team appears to be picking up all
the while, and bids fair to becons
known as the best Navy eleven ever
produced.

BASKETBALL WILL
Be REVIVED THIS
YEAR At c. ". j.

The official ban on athletics at
George Washington University for the
duration of the war. which was de-
creed following the entry OF the Uni
ted States into the world conflict last
April, has been partically lifted. Sane
ton for the revival of basketball has
been given by the faculty committee
on student activities.
Before the mems basketball team
can be organized, however, a guaran-
tee fund of 500 must be raised. Stu
dent leaders say that there will not
be the slightest difficulty in secur-
ing this sum. The girls will not be
required to raise a guarantee fund,
but they probably will give a benefit
to supplement their gate receipts.
Bertram Groesbeck. captain of last
years team, will coach this year. with
out remuneration. Miss Ella Gardner
has been appointed coach and general
director of the girls team. All plans
and contracts must be approved by
Prof. William d. Halsey, chairman of
the faculty committee on student ac-
tivities, who will have absolute con
troll OF basketball.
No long trips will be taken by the
teams, but inter-class games and
games with adjacent schools will be
played. James Houghton, OF the med
ical school, has been appointed grad
uate manager, and Charles Allen will
be student manager. Miss Elizabeth
Davis is acting manager OF the girls
team.

Eleven).
For the hCst time in the history Of
football the South has come into its
own. No matter what the alibi, no
matter what the excuse, the fact will
ever remain that the eleven Of
Georgia Tech, coached by J. W..
Heisman, a long time ago Penn
player himself, not only met and de-
feated Pennsylvania at Atlanta this
fall but gave the Quakers the worst
drubbing they ever had with but
one single exception since the foot
ball sun arose in Philadelphia away
back in 1892-the year that the Red
and Blue first took the measure OF
the then great Princeton team. 40
the score that Georgia Tech ran up
against Penn at Atlanta-is no fluke
or no mean victory. 1t is such an
unheralded performance that one
cannot quite get his breath.
There was nothing out Of the usual
about this victory. 1t was well
earned and IT remains a tribute to
the coach and players who won It.
1t was system against system and the
honors rest with Heisman and Ever
EFT Strupper, the nineteen-year-old
half back OF $50 pounds, playing his
second year OF football, who literal
ly ran circles around the vaunted
Red and Blue defense.
That Georgia Tech is no will o.
the whisp in football circles is quite
evident when one considers its rec
ord. Last year its team, coached by
Heisman, won the Southern champion
ship on Thanksk living Day by defeat
ing Alabama Poly in q rattling good
game which proved beyond doubt
that Southern football was high class.
The victory over Penn but accent
ed this as It wi; awaken the foot
ball world to the fact that all the
science, brains, and daring in foot
ball is not confined to a narrow strip
of territory along the north Atlantic
seaboard.
How He Won the Title.
Recently ]. W. Heisman, an out
door man, told me OF his team win
ming the Southern title last year.
Let me give you the story in his own
words that you may Judge whether
or not Southern football is on a par
with the Eastern article, whether the
one-sided score run up on Penn was
due to the Quakers having a very
weak eleven-which seems odd when
the backfIeld was about the same
as that which defeated Cornell and
Michigan last year-or whether
Georgia Tech is unusually strong and
we'll coached.
Georgia Tech had to win from Ala
bama Poly last year to make good its
title. The game proved to be q nip
and tuck affair. At the end OF the
first quarter neither team had shown
any advantage. For ten minutes of
the second quarter it was just as
close and as savagely fought. Finally
Georgia Tech got the ball on Ala
bama's 40-yard line. This is what
Heisman told me about the next
move:
This was the opportunity we were
awaiting. and I sent into the game
at half Everett Strupper, then eight
cen years old, who was playing his
first year on the varsity. As a fresh
man the previous year he had given
repeated evidence OF his ability In
open field running. We Immediately
used q formation somewhat like the
punt line up and sent Strupper, with
heavy interference, around left end.

mediately another Poly man appeared
in his front. blocking his way; but here
came one OF his matchless lodges which
left this opponent sDrawling helplessly
on his face. Tacklers appeared from all
directions now and Strupper, half way
to the goal line, turned to the right and
we thought he was gone. Fortunately
Tech interferer bowled over his op-
ponent

"By this time both teams were
around him SO he jumped behind one
of his big guards to avoid another
opponent, and in a Fash, like a cat,
dived through a small opening over
the last line with Babe" Taylor. the
200 man backing up Poly's line,
smothering him as he hit the sod. A
goal from touchdown completed the
scoring"
When a coach-as did Heisman in
this game-plans his attack along
lines OF this kind he Is the sort of
man who is bound to be successful
for the good reason that he is utiliz-
ing every ability OF the players under
him. Such a coach, given material,
is a dangerous opponent for any team.
There remains the question Of de-
fense. How does Tech stack up in
this important feature of the game?
When II won the Southern champion
ship last year from Alabama Poly II
had a life and death struggle in the
third quarter when Poly rushed the
ball to its six-inch line only to be held
for downs. And its defense against
Penn proved well able to cope with
Folwell's short forward pass, the pass
that twice upset Yale, gave Harvard
the scare OF its life, and proved the
undoing OF Pitt in 1914.
shows Great SpOrtsmanship.
And as for sportsmanship the
South is among the leaders. Witness
this example when Strupper made
his winning touchdown against Ala
bama Poly last Thanksgiving. As he
fell over the lire, tackled by big
Babe" Taylor, of Poly, the. latter,
game to the core, helped strupper
to his feet and said, "Riddo, you sure
do runr' 81 have to Babe" came the
reply, when you get after me-" Pret-
ty fine spirit that for a big game!
The play Heisman planned and
which was used to win the Southern
title last year was akin to the Idaho
shift" or spread" first brought to
light by the Univ ersity OF Idaho In
the fall of 1906, much to the chagrin
OF all Northwestern opponents Ida
ho made successful forward passes
from it. Hurry Up" Yost, Of Michi-
gan, sprung it on Pennsylvania In
1907 and scored a touchdown.
But Heisman must be credited with
having the wits to work II out him
self, as he had not heard Of these
examples. Furthermore, he Is the
first coach to plan a running attack
from the spread" 1t all goes to show
that the South has football brains
and ability and must be reckoned
with in any intersectional contest.

Coach c. A. Metzier is prevailing
upon the high school athletic advis-
ory board to cut down the schedule
of twenty games TO ten contests, as
he hopes to arrange some frst-class

of three championship teams in the

With the indications that there will

in sufficient quantities to satisfy the
keenest appetite, Kansas is ready to
observe its first wartime Thanksgiv-
ing day in nearly twenty years. True,
the turkeys and candies are costing
more, but Kansas realizes the nation
is at war and understands.
And while the state is observing the
national holiday, it does so with the
knowledge that the hundreds of SOL
der boys from its cities and rural
districts, now in camp or in foreign
service, have not been forgotten. For
many days Thanksgiving boxes, con-
tanning delicacies made by mother IL
the little kitchen at home, have been
in the mails bound for this and that
army cantonment, camp or fort. Many
cities have raised special funds
through entertainments and the like
with which to give the boys away at
camp a Thanksgiving spread. The
boys will be well fed and contented
tomorrow, that is certain, whether at
camp or at home on leave of absence.
Good Weather.
Conditions favor another fine
Thanksgiving day." said S. D. ('Sun-
N.Y. Flora, meteorologist at the gov
eminent branch weather bureau here,
when asked early in the week what
the prospects were for a bright and
sunny Thanksgiving. In proof, the
weather man showed that two out of
the last three Thanksgiving days have
been just such days. Thanksgiving of
1916 was mostly clear, a little windy
but with a temperature of SO. degrees.
In 1915, the day was cloudy End
dreary with north wind in the after
noon and the temperature falling
steadily all day. In 1914, however.
Thanksgiving day was clear and
beautiful. with a maximum tempera-
ture of Sc. Temperatures of nearly
normal and somewhat higher than the
first part of the week, with fair
weather, was the forecast early this
week for Thanksgiving of 1917.
A glance at the football calendar
shows that the usual offerings of Tur-
key day games are to be staged.
Eight gridiron clashes are scheduled
for tomorrow, with two teams, the
University of Kansas eleven and the
Haskell Indians, playing outside of
the state, the Kansas team at Column
bia, Mo, with the Missouri Tigers.
and the Haskell eleven at Memphis,
Tenn, with the Mississippi Aggies.
The big game of interest in the state
is the annual Washburn-K S. A. c.
clash at Topeka. In addition, a num-
Der of high school football contests
are to be played tomorrow.
