CATION from Danville, KY, in the
Real Test in Center.
Eyes of the football world will
the Crimson and Center College, a
powerful team which took its place
among the three greatest in the
country last season.
Indications are that 1T Is going
to be a grand tussle.
It will be a somewhat unusual
sight to see a team from an OBJ
scure village invading the strong
hold OF one of the greatest of the
countTy's universities with an even
chance, in the opinion of football
experts, to come away with the
decision.
Two aIl-American stars will be
seen in action against the Crimson
in ''Bo" Mcmillan and Red" Wea-
yer, quarter back ana center of the
Kentucky eleven. In addition Char
ley Moran, the Center coach who
spends his summers umpiring in the
National League, has nine other
men who are veterans. Center has
had no real test this season. They
have defeated Morris Harvey, 66 to
o; Howard College, 120 to and
Pennsylvania. 55 to 0. None of their
opponents has been able to give
them even stifr opposition and, as
matter of fact, they are all sx-
cepuonally weak teams.
In Saturdays game against Tran
sylyania Coach Moran kept McMil-
Ian, Weaver. and several other stars
out OF the lineup. fearing an injury
before the big battle with Harvard.
Centres reputation and recog-
nized strength isn't leading to any
wild predictions of a cleanup from
The Danyille contingent. Moran
realizes that he is up against a
powerful team in Harvard, where
the exceptional material is aided by
a wonderful coaching system.
Instead of oRe man doing the whole
Job, stan Of experts are aiding the
head coach. 1t is reasonable to be-
lieve that the Crimson men will be
better grounded in individual play,
unless Moran is in truth a wonder"
man.
Should Center fail to get the de-
cis1on there will be a worse financial
panic below the Mason and Dixon
Line than II the cotton and tobacco
crops were wiped out at one fell
blow. For the South will hay, its
individual and collective savings
placed on the Danville representa-
tiYes.
Watching Georgia Tech.
Having taken North Carolina
State and West Virginia Wesleyan
safely into camp, Georgetown has
a fairly easy time Of it until the
annual engagement with the Navy
on November 8. Next Saturday they
Journey to Fordham for a game,
which should be won handily, and
Johns Hopkins will furnish an easy
victory on the following Saturday
in Baltimore.
Then come their hardest battles
in the Navy and Georgia Tech on
successive Saturdays. 1t is going
to be a pan-sHe job to repeat
the victory of last season over the
Annapolis eleven, and the team is
sure to feel the results of it's ef-
forts when the battle is ended.
Judging from the reports from
the South, where the Golden Tor
nado" has been continuing its win
ming way. the game in Atlanta on
November 13 will be the hardest
one on the Hilltop schedule. By
running up a points on Vanderbilt
Saturday the Georgians demonstrat-
ed that the loss Of Heisman hasn't
robbed them of their ability.
Tech Meets Pitt and Center.
One encouraging feature is the
fact that Tech is slated to meet |
Pittsburgh and Centre before the |
clash with the HiIltoppers, and |
both Of these games are going to |
be lively tussles. The Southerners |
" i'll strain a point next Saturday |
to make their best showing against |
the Panthers, in view of two sue
cessive defeats in the Smoky City |
Their chahees of turning the trick |
look none too bright at the pres
ent moment. On October 80 Center, |
either victorious or defeated at the |
hands Of Harvard. will journey to |
to show of their wares |
and that is going to be another
bitter battle.
Tech has one week of rest fol-
lowing the Center game, in which
they meet the weak Clemson team,
after which they will give the Hill
toppers a chance to be revenged for
last seasons defeat.
Heisman's former charges will
probably have an advantage in
weight in this melee, as their line
is one OF the heaviest and most
powerful in the South. put the abil-
ity to fight from whistle to whistle
without a relax In EFFORT will
probably stand Exendine's men in
good stead.
