EXPECT STRENUOUS BATTLE
 WITH TECH ELEVEN
Decisive Victory of the Yel- low Jackets Over Penn. Indicates the Team Is
 Very Powerful

Lexington, Va, October l9.-(Special.) The efforts of the Washington and Lee football team have been centered for the past few days upon the Georgia Tech game, set for next Saturday in Atlanta. Coach Rafferty has been busy brushing up the defects brought out in the recent game with Randolph-Ma The squad has been called out every afternoon, and practice has frequently been continued until dark
 In facing Georgia Tech the team will play probably the best eleven in the south. With most of last years men acquisition Of Guyon of the Carlisle In- dians and Harlan, who formerly played on Tech High, the Georglans have been able to put out a very formidable ma chine The recent 40 game with Penn sylva1ia affords ample proof of this fact.
 However. there are no signs of dis couragement here, and Coach Raftery is satisfied that Saturdays team will at least uphold the reputation of the Blue and White. The Generals backfield showed up well in last Saturdays game. Moss. Silverstein, Blain and Fain make fast quartet, and they are being pushed hard by Raines, new man who figured brilliantly during the second half. Larkin, Bethel and Captain Pler- otti performed as they did on the great team of last year. Pierotti seems to be more aggressive than ever He Is undoubtedly one of the best centers in the country.
 Jim Sloan, the John-Marshall High school boy, is out in uniform again, but his ankle is still weak. The coaches are hopeful that he may be in shape for the game on Saturday.

NUMEROUS SHIFTS MADE IN LINEUP
 OF M 'GUG|N TEAM
Top Richardson Shifted to Former Place at Half back-Team in Fair
 Condition

Nashville, October 19.-(SpeciaL L)-Twen- ty Commodore players, headed by Coaches McGugin and Manier, left Friday night for Lexington to give battle to the Kentucky State Wildcats Saturday after noon. A big shake-up has ben made in the lineup. Top Richardson has been placed in his old-time position at half back, Early has been placed at center, and Carman, who has been playing cen ter heretofore, has been shifted to the guard position.
 For the past four days the Commodores have been run through hard workouts in order to smooth out the kinks result ing from the game with Chicago Satur- day. Stuffed dummies have been used to teach the players how to block and charge effectively. The line is being bol- stered up and being put into condition to met the charges of the Kentucky back field men, The Commodore players have shown some lack of energy in their daily practice this week, but this is probably due to the weather. which has been far from ideal for football playing.
 In the backfield some changes have been made. Sherman, the Memphis boy, has been placed at quarterback in place of Wilhite. Hendrick, the Fitzgerald and

OVER THIRTY T|LTS SCHEDULED TODAY IN EASTERN FIELD Clash of Pittsburg and Syracuse Attracting Chief Attention-Army Is
 FavOrite

New York. October 19-Of the 30-old
 college football games to be played in
 the east tomorrow the outstanding con-
 test appears be ha beween Pitts
 burg and Syracuse.
 The defeat of West Virginia by the
 University of Pittsburg in the seasons opening game supported by the heavy scores rolled up against Bethany and Lehigh stamp Glenn Warmers pupils as players of no ordinary ability In fac-
 ing the Syracuse university team, hov. ever, indications are that Pittsburg will meet one of her strongest competitors, notwithstanding the fact that the game is early in the season. Syracuse ilas played but two contests to date, but in defeating Rutgers IA to 10 last Sat- urday the upstate collegians showed corr clusively the Orange is football fac tor to be reckoned with even in wartime play.
 Under normal conditions the meeting of Cornell and Colgate would be an event of unusual interest. but with the uncer- tain material available at both univer- sities this fall the contest is not ex- pected to attain the standard of pre- vious years. The Ithaca team, playing under severe handicaps, has won but one out of the three games to date. There has been little opportunity to judge Collgate's football power, her only contest as yet being a 24 to victory over Bucknell.
 Another match of promise is the game Dartmouth and West Virginia at Hanover Both teams have shown unusual gridiron ability this season. found West Virginia a hard to beat while the southernars flown the Navy to Q.
 The Navy is the choince to win from the Carlisle Indians. que in part to .he better showing made by the middies against West Virginia, Carlisle losing 70 the southerners by 21 to 0.

HOWARD : MARION
 SLATED FOR STIFF
 GAME AT R|CKWOOD
Ancient Rivals to Settle Su- premacy for Year-Game Scheduled to Start at
 5 O'clock

Howard college and Marion institute Will clash this afternoon at o'clock at Redwood Field in what promises to be one of the most strenuously contested games of the season. Coach Longwell put his men through stiff workout yes- terday afternoon and announced last night as ready for the tilt.
 The Marion outfit reached the city last night. Although rumors are to the eff feet that the team is seriously crippled, the Cadets are expjected to offer stubborn resistance.
 Comparative scores indicate that the Marion eleven will record a neat victory over the Raptists. The showing of the teams has been vastly different. Against Auburn, the Baptist lost 53 to O. They were unable at any time to present a formidable defense against the Auburn ties.
 On the other hand, Marion held the University of Alabama eleven to two touchdowns, and the Crimson machine is supposed to be the strongest to represent the team in years. But then the showing Of Howard against the Sewanee Tigers, 6-6 tie, makes the dope denser than ever.
 Should Marion enter the game minus the services of Argo and Mccullough, her star linesman. Howard should romp to an easy win With these two giants in the lineup, Marion has the odds.
 Last year the teams battled to a tie on the Marion campus. The Cadets always present a powerful attack and how long the Baptsts' defense can withstand the steady drive remains to be seen
 Neither Coach Longwell or Coach North would announce their lineup last night. Officials for the game have not been selected An admission of s1 will be charged.

 lucky States at Lexington tomorrow. The Kentuckians were held to noth- ing to nothing tie last week by Miami university.
 Tn the far south, the Louisiana State university and the University of the South elevens will meet in New Orleans. Sewanee's unexepcted show ing last week against Pennsylvania, and the Louisiana Tigers complete rout of the University of Mississippi has anorded much speculation as to the outcome of the game between the two Tiger teams. Should the Tennesseeans win tomorrow, their future opponents 'it is pointed out, will be facing an eleven of considerable strength.
 Football critics do not look upon the Auburn-Clemson contest, scheduled for tomorrow but played today at Ander- son, 5. e.. as one by which rating may be given the Plainsmen if they are victorious. Coach Donahue, it is gen. erally conceded has developed a for midable team around Ducote, Rowing ton, Robinson (captain) and Creel, with noticeable strong offensive attack.
 TULANE IS FAVORITE
 Tulane has a schedule with the Uni- versity of Florida at Gainesville, con test that will afford the Olive and Blue players under Coach O'Shaugh- nessey an opportunity to match their strength against an eleven that came from behind last week and won over the University of South Carolina, con- sidered by many as one of the strong est of the lighter teams in the south Atlantic states. Tulane has two vic- tories to it's credit this season and has not been scored on.
 According to an announcement from University of Alabama will meet Mississippi college eleven there tomorrow. A number of veterans of last season have returned to Coach Kelly's squad during the last two weeks and indications point to lively contest.
 Other games on the southern sched- ule tomorrow include a contest at Bir- mingham between Howard College and Marion Military institute; Furman vs college (S. @ at Green vile, s. C., and the Davidson college V. P. T., at Blacksburg, Va.

According to reports from various camps, coaches have virtually complet- ed their selections of players who are to serve on the first teams, and more seasoned brand of sport, therefore, is expected in the clashes scheduled for tomorrow.
 The Georgia Tech eleven will meet Washington and Lee in Atlanta in a game that many believe will furnish a real test of the Jackets strength this year. Coach William Raferty, with IS players, among whom are three vet erans of the Generals squad of 1916 that played Tech a tie, arrived here this afternoon. The last year men are Pierotti (captain), Larkin and Bethel.
 TECH STARS READY
 Besides this trio of veterans, the Generals lineup tomorrow probably will include Moss at fullback. who was responsible for much of the scoring last Saturday against Randolph Macon. While Strupper, Guyon, Hill and liar Ian are to be in the Jacket lineup, the opposition backfield Is expected to give the local team plenty of work in keep ing it's goal clear.

These young fellows who are about to risk everything that makes existence worth while in our defense are our own flesh and 6lood. Every one of them is YOUR son, YOUR brother, YOUR nearest and dearest. Let every one of us get this fixed firmly in his mind Qor it is literally true in a deeper sense than ever before in the world historv). and he can not choose but give, just as he would strip himself of his last penny.if his wife were dying or his child had to be operated upon to save its life. N
 You personally and the nation at large have never been in such dire, such immi- .nent peril as that which threatens you at this moment. This is no figure of speech. indeed there are no words in the language that can adequately bring your danger home to you. Think of ruined Belgium, deyas- tated Poland, and remember that every Liberty Bond you buy is barrier between your loved ones and such horrors as these.
 It is the safest investment on earth. Nowhere can earnings, savings, trust funds. or income investments be placed so securely and you can sell your Liberty Bonds at any time you need the money. Think of getting FOUR PER CENT. INTEREST on such an investment And remember that the day the war ends, these bonds will com mand large premium 445 Government bonds before we entered the war were selling at $ll6 on the stock exchange. There never was such a profitable bargain as the Liberty Bond, and money never did such glorious service.
