HILLTOP WORKING
FOR FINAL CLASH

Coach Albert A. Exendine is giving
the final touches to the Georgetown
varsity eleven in preparation for Sat-
urday's final game of the season at
American League Park. The Hit
toppers' teacher is we'll aware OF tn
great speed of the Bethany team and
he is -epping his own squad to stop
any running on the part Of the
visitors.
Georgetown came through the
Fordham game in good condition, and
it is believed that the same lineup
will start against Bethany.
WHEELING, W. Va, Dec. Coach
Buland is impressin= upon his Beth
any Bufraloes the importance of win
ming from Georgetown at Washington
Saturday. a victory over the Wash
ingtonians will give the Buraloes a
higher rating than they have had in
years. especially since they have
already defeated Detroit. conqueror of
the Rutgers eleven.
Heavy rains have made the Bethany
gridiron a quagmire, but the team was
given a long drill yesterday. Stew
arts passing was unusually good, con-
sl6ering the wet ball.

FACULTY ADVISERS GIVE
TITLE TO TECH ELEVEN

The 1920 football championship for
the Washington High Schools was
awarded to the Mckinley Manual
Training School by tho faculty ath-
letic advisers of the five schools at
last nights meeting. The cup cm-

the precedent established in 1915
when the same state of affairs exist
ed in regard TO Tech and Business
The decision of the faculty athletic
advisers Is subject to revision by the

the title precludes a possibility of a

JESS Is CONFIDENT.
The writer knows that the boxers
have already signed articles for the
return fight. WiIlard's signed con
tract was received by Rickard three
days ago, with one slight and amusing
correction made on the copy Which
RiCkard sent him.
willard, despite the fact that Demp-
sey subjected him to a terrible beat
ing, apparently is not convinced OF
his conQueror's prowess.
A veritablc giant in size and weight,
Dempsey, victory-mad, tgerish-
fighter, knocked his huge opponent
down seven times in the first round
of the Toledo contest and completely
outclassed him.
WAS BEATEN TERRIBLY.
The giant, pathetically helpless be-
fore Dempsey. who seemed dwarf
beside him when they %ere both on
their feet, was beaten worse than any
other champion ever was.
Willard, however, is not thoroughly
convinced of Dempsey's superiority,
for in the signed contract which he
sent to Rickard the ex-champion
wrote in an 'if' clause, which will

Dempsey is invincible. 1t will doubt

Dempsey Is to meet in the Garden on

take long TO discover that their only
player was a guy named Mcbride. He
ran the ball all the time. did all the
tackling on defense, and electrif' cd
the Georgetown host by running
almost the length OF the field for a
touchdown.
Well, this same Bill Mcbride IL still
running wild on the 'gridiron and
playing great defensive game for
the Gunners. lie has been doing 1t all
season and will probably contribute
some OF his stellar performances
against Rex next Sunday.
But Mcbride Is not the only star In
the Navy Yard backfeld. There are
the Incompatible line-smasher. Josh"
Licarione, and the marvellous speed
ster. Schofeld. while Gudy Langer is
back Of more than ordinary merit.
AS a quartet this bunch Is excellent.
Schofield's only weakness is his lack
of pounds, for he can fairly fly, once
he gets under way.
CAN GET his DISTANCE.
If the Gunmakers ever get within
the Rex 10-yard line, watch Josh"
Licarione. lie is usually said TO be
the best Undertaking back ever con-
ncctcd with any football eleven In
Washington. not excepting George
town University. lie is a bit older
row, but he's still the old Josh"
when it comes to getting his distance
through the line. he gets it. that's
all.
Dyer and Luscombe the Gunmako
ends. are capable performers. going
down the field fast. able TO take
passes, tackling hard and ail-around
intelligent players.
Noonan and Deakins. the tackles,
are rangy and strong. while Poss and
Alec Licarione are heavy. immovable
guards. Ray Towers Is considered the
best center in the District, bar none.
But while the Gunmakers shape up
like powerful eleven. this Rex team
can't be sneeZcd at. Nothing like that.
Indeed. many believe that Navy Yard
will be unfortunate in tackling Rex
just when the latter is coming at full
speed.
PATTERSON Is IMPROVED.
Patterson is said to be the most i'm
proved end in Independent football
here this season. He is fast down the
field hard tackler and fine de-
fcnsive end. His mate, Gainey. is
short and stocky, but usually capable
for his size.
Litkus and Turner are powerful
tackles. Indeed, the battle between
the two sets of tackles should be
worth watching for itself.
All the Rex guards. Stephens. Bill
Mcdonald. Mcclure and Heddans, are
big fellows, we'll able to stand the
hardest sort of going.
II Rooney Virnstein plays center
against Ray Towers, another great
combat will be seen. for the Rex man
is almost in Towers class. J. McDon-
aid. Virnsteins understudy, lacks
Towers experience, but still he is
good man.
Rex has a shade over Navy Yard in
the line when 1t comes to weight, but
as for ability both lines seem about
on a par.
BYERS HAS FLEETNESS.
In the Rex backfeld will probably
be found Carney at quarter. Joe Bald
win and George Bycrs at halfback.
and Joe Giebel at full back Bycrs has
more speed than any of them on the
field, not even excepting Schofield, f
what we are told be true.
Carney is a fine open field runner

over at Union League park the Rex
"a. c. has also been battling to many
victories. Really but one invader

was the IS mt" team from Akron,

all who like football to be there, even
if it rains cats and dogs. Mere cats
and dogs mean nothing to the Gun
makers and their rivals.
REPLACES yIGILANTS.
The Rex A. c. is comparatively
new organization in District football.
IT replaces Joe Oliveri's famous Vigi-
lants. For several seasons the Vigi-
lants ran roughshod over all oppo
ncnts, bringing them from great dis
tances to hammer them into the dirt.
The Engineers gave the Eigilants
a tough battle for n season or two.
The Seamen Gunners waxed powerful
and fought it out with O!veri's gang.
But at the end it was me Vigilant
A. c. that staged its great banquet
when Oliveri blossomed forth in n
dress suit and made a speech two or
eight times. We know. We were
there. We witnessed Joe's marvellous
forensic efforts. We cheercd. too, and
ordered another stein. IT was not a
crime then for n thirsty man to bury
his beak in a beaker.
But Joe Oliveri went away from
here. The Vigilants disappeared,
though many of it's old lineup are to
be found on both the Navy Yard and
the Rex elevens today. This very fact
should make Sundays game rather
more than interesting. And that's ex-
actly what it should be. an Interesting
combat fought from whistle to whistle
with all both teams have in the way
of strength and skill.
