Ball 7o0 Yards in Three
Big Games.

In Capt Ira E Rodgers last three
Dig games for West Virginia. e.
those against Princeton, Rutgers
ana Washington and Jeierson-he
compiled a record for yards gained
that probably has never been equal
led by any football player on the
grldiron- In these major contests
In the month OF November Rodgers
inquired in gaining no less than 40
yards.
Against Princeton he rushed the
ball 81 yards Cthree more yards by
himself than all OF Princeton could
do); returned punts and kickofis, n
yards. and threw forward passes
for net gains OF I2i yards. This
gave him total OF 22s yards
against Princeton, which Is q very
healthy percentage.
OVereomes Handicap.
Against Rutgers. though he was
closely guarded. he rushed the bail
1Ss yards; returned punts and kick
ons. 81 yards. and threw passes to
his teammates for no less than lSs
yards. Against Washington and
Jefferson in a game that was hard
fought and in which only seven
points were scored he rushed the
ball 81 yards; returned punts and
kickotfs, 50 yards, and threw passes
to King and Hite for net gains OF
ll6 yards.
II his total yardage against such
minor opponents as Bethany. West
minister. Marietta, Ohio. Wesley yaa
and other teams was included. it
could readily be understood that in
amassing his grand total Of lil
points for the season he had not
been favored to carry the bail
across the goal line after his team
mates had placed il there. The most
of his touchdowns came after runs
from without the lO-yard line

REX ELEVEN HAS VETERANS
BUT NAVY YARD LOOKS BEST

Everywhere along the line o. march
Of the local sporting fraternity comes
the question of who will win the
war. And war il will be when the
twenty-five athletes from the Naval
Gun Factory and Rex face one an
other Sunday afternoon for the Dis
trict independent championship. Not
since the days OF the GEORGETOWN
Virginia games has there been as
much talk on the result Of a gridiron
battle as that which now takes the
boys away from their work to dis
cuss the merits OF each and-every in
dividual player who has a chance Of
competing in the battle
On rating the teams or the twenty
TWO men who have a chance Of get
ting into the fray, the veterans Of the
Rex Club have all the edge as in the
array Of talent that nov carries the
colors Of the Northeast clubmen there
ave 1.-TWO men who have battled in
past District title games either with
the famous Nigilants or the Engi-
neers. They are namely. Bombre {.
Jack Mcdonald. Eersrein. Lftkus,
Maurice Mcdonald. Eckendorf. Lica-
ronie, Giebel and Blair.
Mcbride the Daddy.
But four veterans Of the ViSilants
are ranked in the lineup Of the Naval
GUnners, namely Burns. NJ. Turner,
Luscombe and Carroll. while Bill Nc
Bride. Of Alexandria, can be CIassed
as the daddy of them all. Taking a
step back just two years or so, and

tions when the Mohawks defeated the
Nigilants for the title. everything
points the Gunners' way as seven
former players of the Mohawks are
listed as follows: Dyer. Deakins.
Towers, Poss, Milton Turner, DurIty
and Beyers. while the Rex can boast
of but three. these being Mcclure,
Harris and Licaropie.
In rating the teams the fans will
finally wind up by finding they are
guessing at the razzberry. On paper
both clubs look evenly matched, but

the man in his arms and lifted him
into the arms of his seconds, who

Carpenter was carried from the
