The Washington times., 1919-10-16

I mond College. which had played vir-
I ginia to a no-score tie, was defeated,
| q to 0. Coach Bernier admits that
he has had in view Techs big game,
| that with Washington and Lee, but
| since last Saturday he has been prep
ping his team for the Georgetown
| contest, believing he mas a chance to
/ upset the Hiutoppers.
with the exception OF George Par
4 rish, varsity center, Techs squad is in
/ fine condition. Parrish severely
/ bruised a shoulder in the Richmond
game and may not be able to stand
the grueIling at the Hilltop. II he

| Techs captain, will be snapper-back
| Saturday.
WahOO VIII Referee.
Charlie Wahoo, Of Carlisle. will ref
cree Saturdays contest. with Mag
gle" MaEoRin, Of Michigan. acting as
umpire Either Battersby, OF Swarth-
more, or Apple, Of Michigan, will be

Guyon, the wonderful Carlisle athlete
who made such a fine record in Geor-
gia Techs backheld.
V. P. I. will arrive here tomorrow,
going at once to the New Ebbitt,
which will Immediately become Tech
headquarters, as many alumni are eX-
pected to witness the game on Satur-
day. Indeed, the whole State OF Vir-
ginia is interested in this clash be-
tween Tech and Georgetown, and a
mob Of folks should be there for the
first whistle. Virginia elevens have
usually come to Washington expect
IN to
believed themselves able to keep the
score down. but this Is the first time
since the Charlottesville eleven came
to town in 1913 that an Old Dominion
OUTFIT has come really expecting to
win.
In their usual fashion. the Hilltop
authorities have little 70 say regard
ing the outlook. Coach EXendine
never makes any prophecies. John
O'Reilly always has a but" in his
remarks. Charley Cox spits like
cat when talking about the possibiI-
ity Of a Tech victory, for Charlie
bates TO make even a mental picture
Of a Georgetown defeat.
Second Team Shines.
Bloody Wednesday" saw the sec
Ond eleven outplay the varsity at the
Hilltop in a half-hour Of bitter scrim-
hage. Three lads were knocked out
mOmentarily, Bill Dudack being
forced to leave the lineup toting a
bum wing. Capt. Hunter Mcclure,
the old Harvard guard, officiated as
referee and after the scrimmage he
said that it was the best football ne
had seen in many days. But he was
thinking Of the second eleven, not the
varsity.
Laboring under the handicap OF the /
same signals for both teams, Jimmy
Sullivan drove his pals steadily up
the field against the varsity. Joe !
O'Conneu and Tom Lonergan clearly |
Tom Sullivan and Dan |
Ahearn at tackle, while the varsity |
backs were in the doldTums. Only |
when Wanda" McQuade managed to /
intercept a forward pass and race |
seventy yards for a touchdown was /
the varsity able 70 score. Usually /
and McQuade were thrown |
Cor losses
Jimmy Sullivan electrified the /
small crowd by booting a field goal |
from the 35-yard line, bringing the 1
score to to 3. He showed excellent |
too, in handling the scrubs, |
while Thornton and Livers OutclasS-
ed McQUade and Leighty, the varsity 1
backs. Livers dashes into the line
we're unusually good, while his de-
'ensiTS tacklinE was brilliant. Time
and again he tore through the var
5ity interference and got the runner
for a loss.
Jack Flavin appeared in uniform
Tor the first time in three weeks. His
wounded ankle was tied up and he did
not work too hard. John O'Reilly is
hoping 20 have him in shape for the
Detroit game a week from Saturday.
