POINTING W.
FOR VILLANOVA CLASH

Improved play by the George
Washington eleven, especially in the
back field, can be expected in the
game with Villa Nova Saturday at

Kay, former University of Utah half
back and All-Rocky Mountain selec-
tionfor that position several years
ago, is showing lot of speed in
practice and is expected to be a
dangerous man on the offense. John
Daley, another Western man, who
has demonstrated line plunging
ability, will be seen at full back in
the absence of Vidmer, who is out
on account of injuries. The game
will start at o'clock.

Instead of showing alarm over
the strength of Exendines men,
Fordham's publicity agents declare
everything is serene in the hostile

Fordham is expecting Quarter
Back Steele to play an important
part in the game. He is not only
heralded as a wonderful field gen.
eral, but as a punter of exceptional
ability. His bocting rivals that of

Who is this Centre football team
This query went forth from thou
sands of football fans last fall when
Harvard announced its schedule and
included the hitherto unheard- of
Kentucky eleven on its list. AS the
Harvard game has neared the queries
have increased in volume.
Gridiron critics, looking over the
early season record of the eleven,
have spread the astounding word
that Harvard is in for its toughest
game of the year. But why did
Harvard put them on their schedule.
a team representing a small Ken
lucky college? What license has a
youthful aggregation of men with a
small squad to pick from to Chal-
lenge the power of Mighty Har-
vard?"
Here it is:
Centres record for the last four
years demands recognition.
In 1916 Centre picked up the Ken
lucky State championship.
In 1917 they were scored on but
once, for six points.
In 1918 they not only toppled
over all opposition but trampled on
NIG camp 0dCHdI la lOI tltNtilS
captained by Al Feeney, former ALL
American center, and including three
other All-American players.
In 1919 Centre jolted the gridiron
world with a 14-to-6 victory over
West Virginia just after the Noun
taineers had walloped Princeton to
the tune of 25 to 0. Coach Moran's
men piled up 4S5 points last season,
two games being only for 1O-minute
quarters, for the high score of the
season.
Confidence in Coach.
This year Centre has played three
games using large numbers of sub
stitutes and has rolled up a total
score of 241 points.
But who are the players? Where
is this school?
1t was falsely reported last fall

lower than Harvard's.
Centres record started in 1916
with the arrival of Coach Charlie
worshipped by his players. He is
one-half of the secret. The other
half is the spirit of the players.

known in the Kentucky hills, came

Football Drama
Twenty-Five years ago, in the days
of Dick Van Wrinkle, one Of the
greatest of the oldtime Southern
stars. Centre College had a football
team OF winning ability and sec
tional renown.
After a few years OF glory
Centres fame passed on into the
shadows and for twenty years oil
more the Kentucky citadel was hid
den away in the fog Of mediocrity
And then, much after the manner
Of a ghost emerging from the gloom
Centre last season suddenly stepped
forward again, coming into imme'
diate prominence by beating Wes'
'
the amazing Rodgers, had 'beater
Princeton rs to 0.
Centres brilliant record continues
but the climax OF the drama doesn1
come until Saturday, when the Ken
lucky team swings into the Har'
ward stadium, where at least 25,O0l
football fans will at last see the
widely advertised eleven in actor
against the coming Harvard team
of more than average skill

 Tyrus gave him a naughty laugh and beckoned scornfuHy for Severeid's glove. Severeid said nothing, but sig naled for another wide one which he got.

 "We seek only enough campaign con- tributions to enable us to conduct a legitimate campaign and to present our cause adequately to the people. It is very likely that effective campaign work will be more expensive this year than during any previous year in our political history. This will be due not only to the higher cost of printing distribution and clerical assistance, but also because of the enormous increase in the voting population. growing out of the granting of suffrage to women. I see nothing improper in financing the campaign of q political party through popular subscriptions.
