FOOTBALL IN THE TROPICS.
American Soldiers in Porto Rico
Great Success from Start.

New York. Nov. e.-Football, not
soccer. but the man-to-man inter
collegiate type has been Started in
Porto Rico, and the soldiers are taxi
ing to IL like ducks TO water, despite
heat and sandy playing fields that
elsewhere would be considered too
heavy for fast team work.
The First Battalion OF the 371tn
Regiment started the football craze
in September by challenging the rest
OF the regiment. Neither side
scored, but two broken noses were
reported among the casualties. This
was the first blood drawn by the
warriors. and it added such zest 10
the life of the camp that the 373d
Regiment has taken up the game.
As a. result of the interest in the
football games the athletic director
has added the sport to the regular
, program of play day" events for
the troops. This is probably the
first appearance OF football in the
tropics.

Scores Well Earned Vic
tory Over Brooklanders
by 9 to 0 Count.

Gallaudet eleven showed a formid-
able rushing back field which gave
them 9 to O victory over Catholic
University yesterday on the Brook
land Campus. The Buff and Blue
held the upper hand at all times, as
c. u. never had a chance to score.
The Red and Black was on the de-
fense all during the entire contest.
Gallaudet scored its first point by
a field goal in the first quarter and
in the final period a touchdown was
recorded. Until the Buff and Blue
scored its touchdown the Brook
landers were looking for it's team
to rally with a dash and equal. IL
not score a touchdown which would
put them out in front but they. were
disappointed.
Outside of the two periods in
which Gallaudet scored c. U. was
able to hold the visitors safe. Dur
ing the second and third periods the
Buff and Blue went scoreless but
they kept the Brooklanders on the
defense, as they penetrated their
line for short gains here and there
but could not get within striking
dista nee of their opponents goal.
Shawl scored the first points for
his team when he booted the pig
skin over the cross bar from his
thirty-yard line. The Buff and Blue
worked the ball up the field on
straight football which put in posi-
tion for the field goal. The rushes
of the back field was too much for
the Brook landers' line and il fyaye
ground under the attack.
The final period saw the weaken

the Buff and Blue backs rushed
through for substantial gains and

The Service Football League got
away to a great start at the Ameri-
can, League Park yesterday after
noon when the Chemical Warfare
Service from Camp Leach and the
Army Medical School battled forty
minutes to nothing-to-noth
draw. A large crowd of the Khaki
klsd Khan from each of the army
posts turned out to witness the
game while many civilians made UP
the gathering.
The game was a thriller from
whistle to whistle. as good. bad and
Indifferent football was played by
each eleven. The Medicos had
slightly the best of the game as
far as ground gaining. as they reg
istered eleven first downs to six
scored by their opponents. Any
time the Medicos threatened to
score the Mustard Crew" would
tighten up and turn back the

First Game Between Chicago and
Michigan in Thirteen Years.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Athletic direc-
tors of the universities of Michigan
and Chicago have extended a spe-
cisl invitation to members of the
1905 football teams of the two in
stitutions to witness the game here
Saturday. The occasion viii be the
renewal between the universities OF
football relations which were broken
off thirteen years gao, when Chicago
defeated Michigan, 2 to 0.
The rivalry was keen between
the schools for many years prior to
the withdrawal of Michigan from
the Western Conference, owing to
differences over the training table
end football followers say the in
terest of former years will be
awakened when the teams line up
on the gridiron.
Athletic directors believe that
eleven men who played on each
team during the season of 1905 can

WILL GET AN
EARLY START IN DISTRICT

The basketball season will get
started A little earlier than usual
especially with the high schools who
nave given up all hope of having any
scholastic contests. The IntercoIle-
giate League is also TO get an early
start, the first games being sched-
uled for December IA.
The intercollegiate schedule was
settled on at a meeting of the rep
resentatives from Catholic Univer-
sity, Maryland State, Gallaudet Col
lege and George Washington Univer-
sity, few nights ago. which had
been called by the league president
Prof. c. E. Beckett, and calls for a
series of eighteen contests.
Both the intercollegiate and High
School Leagues will again use the big
Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium, the high
schools playing their contests in the
afternoon and the colleges in the
evening.
Last season was the most success
full from local standpoint, for
many. many years. The organization
of the Intercollegiate League was a
life-saver for the greatest of indoor
sports. 1t is confidently expected by
every one who is interested in the
game in the District that the COM
ing season will witness some of the
most thrilling contests in the history
of the game. President Beckett is
extremely confident in the success OF
the league which he has fathered.
There were many thrilling cortests
in the high school series last year
Although Central won the champion

lands aspirations for the champion
ship football team of the State were
given a severe jolt at Homewood
Field here this Afternoon when the
! State College eleven from College
Park defeated the Westminster tribe
! by 10 TO 0 count The Upstate
eleven only got within striking dis
tance of the Staters' goal line on but
one occasion, this coming in the third
period when Keller. the quarterback
of the Western team. attempted a
drop kick which went away wild Of
its mark. State proved TO be the
strongest team and upset all the dope
of the wise ones who had figured the
Westminster eleven winners.
State started with a rush early in
| the game. After kicking off the Col
lege Park aggregation held for downs
and forced Western Maryland to
punt. 1t received the ball on its own
forty-yard line and without a halt
! rushed and jammed the ball down the
field for gains of anywhere from three
TO fifteen yards until IL had crossed
the goal line for the first score.
Gurevich failed to kick the goal.
1t was only a few minutes after
that when Western Maryland again
had been held for downs that state
began another steady procession OF
gains that resulted in the second
touchdown. Gureyich carried the ball
over the goal line on both touch
downs and later in the game made
the third. Western Maryland helf
better in the second quarter and there
was no scoring. Western Maryland
did not make a first down IN the
opening half of the game.
shortly after the opening OF the
third quarter State started twice on
a march toward the goal, but once
was held for downs on the l5-yard
line and later had its trip for score
interrupted by two consecutive 10
yard penalties for holding.
Western Maryland's best showing
was made after il held State on its
own 15-yard line. 1t punched the ball
steadily up to the middle Of the f1eld.
wher it got off a forward pass which
netted a gain of 10 yards. Two plays
that followed failed to gain, and an
other forward pass was tried. which
resulted disastrously. Gurevich inter
cepted il and with some splendid in
reference by Molster ran s. yards for
touchdown.
States offensive play was good from
an aIl-round view. but the ground

FT. MYER TEAM
SHOWED UNDER
Georgetown University S.
A. 7. c. Eleven Swamps
Troop B by 81 to 0
Score.

The students Army Training Camp
of Georgetown University opened its
football season yesterday by defeat
ing Fort Myer 81 to 0. This is the
first time the men have teen together
since the invasion of the flu" and
with the drills that take up the time
of the squad very little time has been
given the camp unit for football prac-
tiCe. The team surpassed anything
that the most ardent admirers hoped
for, as they piled up touchdowns and
shot forward passes that gained many
vars.
The Student Army started off with
a rush, and before five minutes of
play Buckley had crossed the goal
line for the first touchdown and
Goggin kicked goal. Georgetown be-
gan another drive down the field.
and by smashes into the line and end
runs Buckley was again over the line
for the second touchdown. The end
of the first half found the embryo
soldiers with five touchdowns. which
netted thirty-three points.
In the second half the camp unit
opened up its style of play and scored
eight toHhdowns. Substitutes were
used freely by the coach. O'Reilly. TO
give everybody a chance during the
game.
The combination backfield of the
unit was too much for Troop and
the line seemed unable to stop these
plunginE backs. Buckley. Carlin and
Smith were whole team in them
selves and gained many yards be-
tween them. 1t seemed like the old
combination when the ball was
snapped from Buckley to Falvin and
from Flavin to Buckley for forward
passes that gained from twenty to
forty yards. Twice when Georgetown
was inside the thiTty-yard line Buck
ley shot A pass to Flavin, who ran
twent yards for a touchdown.
Fort Myer showed game team and
kept up the pep under the most ad-
verse circumstances, as they were
never in the running when it came to
crossing the Camp goal line. Troop B
had several former football stars in
their lineup and they showed to ad-
vantage. but were not able to gain
much ground through the Hilltoppers'
line. When il came to shooting for
ward passes they used many of them.
but in only a few instances were they
good for any gains.
JCLes at quarterback for Fort Myer
was a tower behind his line and d-
rected the plays with good judgment.
Lilly, Mahoney and Manhuer were a
good backfield combination. but they
could not gain against the opponents
line. Wilson formerly of Tufts. played
center and was in all the plays. but
HeG ply gave him little chance to
show what he could do.
Jakey Hyman. who relieved Smith
at right half for Georgetown. was a
good ground gamer and made several
runs around the end for long gains.
