WARNS AGAINST FOOTBALL
FANS VISITING ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 22-The Naval
Academy authorities issued a warning
today to Baltimore and Washington
football lovers contemplating a visit
here to see the Great Lakes-Navy
football game tomorrow They are
urged to remain at home, as accom-
modations are lacking for their COM

Great Lakes and the Naval Athletic

Seething interest is being shown
in the Pitt-Tech clash at Pittsburgh.
Neither eleven has been defeated I'm
four years. Each has reached re-
markable heights OF football bril-
lancy. Last year they disputed the
country's gridiron title.
This season Georgia Tech, with a
green eleven. barring its backfield
has scored All points to none for
opponents. Its scoring ability has
enthused the entire Southland. +or-
getful of the caliber OF those teams
which tackled the fury OF the Golden
Tornado.
Played But Two Games.
Getting away to a slow start be-
cause OF military restrictions. the
"fIu" epidemic kept the Panthers
from playing more than two con-
tests this season before meeting
Johnny Heisman's wonders from At
lanta. Nevertheless. Bob Folwell and
big Bill" Hollenback do not hesi-
tate in predicting victory for Pitts
burgh.
Glenn S. Warner, one Of the
shrewdest men in football, had eight
Of his 1917 eleven on hand for the
first game. He has spent his time
on the fundamentals, with the result
that Pitt shows that same old ma
chine-like play characteristic OF all
Warner elevens. The Panthers are
big. fast. and strong, hard as nails
and well coached by a master teacher.
This bruisinE style of playing is ex-
pected by Pitts followers to crush
the best Georgia Tech has to offer.
The reverse and the straight running
formations, used by Georgetown,
whose coach, Al Exendine, learned his
football under Warner at Carlisle, are
old, but their strength rests on the
smoothness with which they work
when put into effect by big, strong
men.

Of victory, Georgia Tech supporters
are asking odds, a natural proceeding.
OF course. there is nothing new in
that. but Pittsburgh js likely to be
a big favorite before the teams take
the field tomorrow.
