PennsyIvanians Present Their
Facts in Questioned PLAY.

VILLANOVA. Pa. Oct. 30.--Nilla-
nova tied the game with George
Washington University at Washing
ton last Saturday. according to a rul-
ing of the eastern committee on col
lego athletics. George Washington
was held at the time to have won the
game, Is to Z.
The second touchdown was declar ed
by the referee after the ball had
rolled into the dugout back Of the
goal posts, where a George Washing
ton player fell upon it,
The decision holds that the dugout
is a part OF the grand stand and that
when the ball touches any part of the
stand it should be taken out to the
twentyyard line and played from
there. The Main Line boys protested
the decision at the time, but were
overrulcd by the officials.
The committee at the same time
announced that il has barred the
three officials from further activity
in officiating at college football
games.
No facts were obtained from local
officials in charge of the game nor
has it been possible to locate any
such ''Ea stern Committee on College
Athletics" None of the local officials
has been Intercepted or asked for a
decision by the central board. The

BOYS ASK SCALES
FOR POTOMAC PARK
Youngsters Would Like to
Weigh Their Opponents Be-
fore Football Games.

Charles =. Gillen. OF the Onfice OF
Public Buildings and Grounds, may
be asked 10 provide several sets OF
scales for Potomac Park before the
season IL over. SO great Is the de-
mand for football helds In the big
playground and so loud are the COM
plants from various football teams
on the weight question that the public
official may be asked to settle the
controversies by providing scales.
Various notices appear in the news
papers from teams asking games.
Football elevens ask games with
105.lIS and 135-pound teams. Tho
engagements are arranged for the
most part over the telephone.
Last Sunday team reputed to
weigh 115 pounds came down to Po-
tonlac Park with several men weigh
ing more than $50 pounds. The 113-
pound Kid team which averaged that
weight had nothing 10 do but play
the eleven which averaged instead Of
IL pounds about l45.
Several prominent people interested
in the games in Potomac Park are
suggesting that the difficulty be
overcome by placing several scales at
various central points which could be
used in getting the weights OF the
teams playing.
In connection with the large play
ground in Potomac Park II is reported
that all records have been broken for
football this year. AS many as forty
i've hundred persons have been in
attendance at games. There arc at
present thirty-four football teams
using Potomac Park for practice or
games.
More than six hundred tennis per-
mits are out for the use OF the courts.
Polo. field hockey and golf figures
show the various fields in use full
time
II is the weight question in foot
ball that is bothering many young
sters. The permits issued for the Ms"
or tho thirty four teams will admit OF
double the number of teams playing.
As many az twenty-five games were
played last Sunday and the fields were
in use from early morning to late
afternoon. Many teams which had
scheduled games with teams stipu-
lated TO average certain weight
were confronted by clevens greatly
in excess OF tho poundage expected.
There was no way to check up on
the proposition. 1t was suggested
scales be placed in the field houses to
check up on the teams as a means OF
solving the difficulty and stopping the
wrangling.
Further suggestions in the matter
of officials for the games would help
materially in making the course of
football in Potomac Park more
smooth. Public spirited citizens with
football experience and a desire to
help out would materially aid in de-
veloping football il they would lend
their aid in Saturday and Sunday
James, il has been suggested.

BrookIanders.

Catholic University is reckoning
without its host in today's game with
Gallaudct College at Kendall Green.
The BrooklanderS have given out in
no uncertain terms that they are not
at all afraid OF Glllaudet and will
most likely start team composed OF
several substitutes against the Ken
dali Green eleven.
On the other hand. Gallaudet is
fignting with its back to the wall on
it's home ground. The Gallaudet lads,
under Coach Frederick Hughes, have
put in deal of real hard work
hoping to stop Catholic University.
Unless all signs fail the Brooklanders
are in for the time Of their lives.
Gallaudct has been coming forward
rapidly. The Buff and Blue players
have improved with each game and
have only recently cracked Off West
ern Maryland by siZeable score.
C.. u, on the other hand, received a
first-class beating at Lafayette last
week.
While Fitzgerald will be in the line
UP for G. T., il is expected that De-
nault. Mcnamara and Dunn will be
held on the sidclines. The c. L. back
field will be weakened In consequence.
Gallaudet has suffered the loss of
but two players from last year. Will
son and Downes are missing, but ca
pable men are in their places. c. L.
is looking for an easy time of 1t. and
Gallaudet is expecting to give the
Brooklanders all they are looking for.

NOTRE DAME FACES
ARMY TEAM TODAY
Teams With Unbeaten Records
Play Under Ideal Conditions
At West Point.
By JACK yEIOCk.

WEST POINT. n. Y, Oct 3O.-Notre
Danes unbeaten football eleven, al.
ways coIorful and never weak. will
tackle Coach Charley Days rugged
Army team here today.
Ideal conditions prevailed for the
game. Crisp, clear weather was the
order--the kind that brings out the
best in a football plsyer-snd indica-
tons pointed toward snappy con-
test.
Army has not met defeat this season.
but no team the future generals have
played can be compared with Notre
lame, and Days outfit will no doubt
have It's hands full.
The Hoosiers arrived Friday, took
a light workout and then dug in" TO
10 await the zero hour. They are
neither the strongest nor the heaviest
team that has ever come out OF Notre
Dame 10 do battle against Army. and
they arc expecting a fight They'll
probably get il.
THEIR SEVENTH GAME.
Todsys game is the seventh be-
tween the rival clcvens. Notre Dame
first played the Army in 1913, and TO
date has won four games against two
for the Cadets, scoring a total OF IS
points against "A made by Army.
Armys 1913 eleven was rich in ma
terial, but unable 10 get going. Along
came Notrc Dame with brilliant
forward passing attack that astounG-
ed the Army and amazed the football
world. and when the smoke cleared
Army was on the short end of a So
tolls score. Dorais and Rockne were
the stars of that game.
Az result OF what IL learned from
the Catholics in 1913, Army was able to
come back the following year. and
even up tho score by the use of the
aerial offenae. winning by count OF
20 TO :. Succeeding games between
the rivals resulted as follows:
1915--Notrn Dame. :; Army. 0.
19l6-trmy, 30; Notre Dame. 10.
l917--Notrc Dame, :; Army, ..
191s-No game.
1919-Notre Dame. II: Army, ..
In the 1916 contest the brilliant
work of Oliphant and Vidal accounted
for Armys victory after the Calets
had trailed thrcc-fourths of the way.
g., ROCKNE NOW COACH.
Rockne. whose work was ono Of
the features of Notr, Danes first vic
tory over the Army. is now the coach
of the Catholics. He has developed
team that excels in the aerial
branch o. the game. though it has
shown consistent ability to skirt the
ends and slide off the tackle as well.
Its versatility is attested to by it's
l6-to-7 victory this season over Ne
braska-
Halfback Gipp is the star of tho
Catholics. He can pass the ball with
deadly accuracy. run tho ends with
speed. pick his way through a broken
field for big gains and kick with un-
usual brilliance. Brandy, the Notre
Dame quarterback; Mohardt. Gipp's
running mate, and VIM. regular full
back, are all ground-gainers OF abil-
ity. Kiley and Anderson, the ends,
are adopts in taking forward passes
from Gipp and Brandy.
Coach DAILY boasts q backfield with
considerable 1inc-smashing ability.
The Army backs, also, arc polished in
the execution of the aerial attack.
Captain Wilhide. at quarter: Law
renee and Richards. at the halves. and
French. at fullback, were expected to
crash through the Notrc Dame line
today. d. Storck and White, the
Army ends, were being counted on to
play their part in taking passes from
the backs.

YALE MAY NOT NUMBER
PLAYERS IN BIG GAMES
Indications Are That Public Will
AGAIN Be Disregarded.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, Oct. 3o.-Al-
though no definite announcement has
been made, It is thought that Yale
will decide not to number its foot
ball players during the final games
of the ason, the matches with Har-
ward and Princeton. Statements have
been reported from Harvard to the
effect that that university favors
adopting a number system for It's
players, and Yale Is likely to join
with it. No formal statement has
been made by the present coaching
staff. but it is known that some of
the coaches feel that numbering the
players makes a gift of the efficiency
of the playing strategy. The BELIEF
is held that a star OF speciality player
can be easily distinguished and his
strategy blocked much more easily II
he wears a number than il he plays
without one.
This was illustrated in the Yale
West Virginia game here last Satur-
day, when the two stars OF the visit
ing eleven. "whitey" Beck and Cap
tain Harrick. were easily spotted by
the large numbers displayed ON their
back. They were effectively blocked
and both retired exhausted long be-
fore the end Of the game. The full
strength of the strategy of the war
game of football is not secured. 1t is
felt, if numbers as big as billboard
are dislayed on the backs
of the stars.
The opinion is held rather gcner.
ally at Yale that the use of the large
score board giving the name of every
player who runs with the ball or is
injured will allow the spectators to
follow the game more closely than
the use of numbers on the backs OF
the players. but the coaches decision
will not be known for several days
