gains. A fifteen-yard penalty broke
the attack and play, reverted to a
punting duel for the remainder Of

A recovered punt on the 27-yard

downs.
e. Pugh got away with his long

RANKING tne Teams.
In the East, whatever happens
. now, Princeton is going to be brack-
eted with some one at the top.
II Harvard beats Yale the brack-
citing will then include Princeton.
Harvard and either Penn State or
Pittsburgh.
For there will very likely be just
three unbeaten machines at the end
I of the year.
The loser in the Penn State-Pitts-
burgh battle on Thanksgiving Day
will drop into a bracket with Dart
mouth. which has earned high honor
with only one defeat.
All of which means that so far
the strongest Ave teams in the East
are Princeton, Harvard, Penn State,
Pittsburgh and Dartmouth.
The Service elevens are puzzles.
The Navy has been beaten twice so
far and the Army, with only two
hard games on her schedule (Notre
Dame and the Navy, presents a
complex problem.
Boston College is another array
which deserves high ranking, al
though its schedule failed to include
any of the first teams named.

Washington and Lee Saturday, Its
closest friends and admirers Will
know It. As q matter of fact,
Coach Exendine may have q hard

The line the wings and the back
field have been nightly shaken up
since that Navy battle, and there Is
feeling on the Hilltop that the
changes are going to bring about q
surprise to the Generals. though not
necessarily q pleasant one.
II the Generals have had scouts

be more or less up In the air. Per-
haps at Annapolis they spotted some

to none in the matter of bulk, but
still are hefty enough to have
caused several obs and abs, at
Princeton. The visiting forwards
will probably outweigh the Hilton
men by many pounds.
On the Hilltop field there was
plenty of activity yesterday, with
the coaches devoting much time to
drilling the candidates in funda-
mentals. Falling on the ball, block
ing and tackling. usually aban-
doned at this stage OF the season,
were ordered. There was also a
dummy scrimmage and a snappy
signal drill.
More Changes Loon. !,
All the changes Exendine intends
to make have probably not leaked
out yet. but yesterday another one
came to light. 1t Is now probable
taht Cronin, a substitute back, will
supplant Hap Ward. the big full
back, in Saturdays tussle. Cronin
is heavy and has been showing up
well in scrimmage. Gus Malley's in
jured leg will probably keep him
out of the game until the clash with
Boston College. Al Leary is show
ing up better every day In the quar-
terback role and Is almost a sure
starter.
Improved work by the team this
week leads the coaches to believe
! that It will be a much stronger de-
fensive organization than the one
which faced the Navy and Tech.
Coach Byrd, of Maryland Univer-
sity, in q statement yesterday, gave
the details OF the dispute with
Johns Hopkins over the eligibility
of Roy Mackert. the Maryland full
back. At the same time. he said
that unless an agreement could be
reached between the. authorities OF
the two institutions to clear up cer-
tain existing conditions, II woulb
be best for al concerned to discon-
tinue the annual game.
| Mackert, while at Lebanon Valley
Prep for two years, played some
games with the varsity team and
later performed as a regular for two
seasons. Under the Maryland elig-
ibility rules at that time, the games
played by Mackert while he was q
prep school student were not count
ed as collegiateS games. This is his
second year at Maryland.
Last year. according to Byrd. the
Maryland athletic board decided
upon a straight four-year eligibility
rule. but decided that 1t should not
be retroactive. At the same time II
adopted a rule barring any mar
who had taken part in baseball
games for money.
In view of the fact that the
rulings adopted are not retroactive
the case Of Mackert under the four
year rule is not affected.
