WASH JEFF IS
LOOKING FOR
FUTURE RECORD
Presidents Not Discouraged by Syracuse
Defeat Saturday-Bronkert
, VIII 30 Available.

Washington. Ia, nov. 7:-Washing-
ton x Jefferson was eliminated as
contender for NATIONAL honors on the
face of the defeat at the hands of SYRIA
cuso yesterday, but the team still has
chance to take Il high position If it can
defeat Pitt next Saturday and win from
West Virginia on Thanksgiving. The
Wash-Icff squad returned from SYRIA
Cuse at noon to-day. the players being
given demonstration reception when
they arrived, despite their defeat. They
will he given u partial rest tomorrow.
but there Will be- n period of strenuous
activity from then until Friday evening
Coach Morrow announced tonight that
he would take the team into the country
tomorrow and keep the entire Varsity
squad segregated until Friday evening,
bringing them here the night before the
game, that will determine tho sectional
supremacy.
! Wash-Jcft players came through the
, Syracuse game IN good condition so far
as serious injuries are concerned. Most
of the men are suffering from minor
cuts due to the gruollins grind they
had. several of them stating to-day that
, they received the worst humping ycstor-
day they had ever experienced. But not a
man is in violence who Will not ho able
I to take up his burden against Pit, un-
less he mCurs injuries this week. In
addition, BrCnkert, fullback. who was
not IN the Syracuse contest at any stage.
due to an injury, is expected 10 be able
to start against the Pitt eleven at the
end of tho week.
Coach Morrow. as we'll as the other
coaches were somewhat dcnunciatory In
their comment on the WaSh-Jcff play
yesterday. Morrow frankly admitted
that the Syracuse team yesterday was a
superior aggregation, but he was tar
from satisfied with the playing shown
by his protcges.
He stu believes. apparently that his
men have 4 lot OF strength that has not
been displayed and If It can be brought
To the front tho opinion prevails here
, that Pitt will have her hands full in
tho annual Forbes Field set to.
1t is likely that there Will be several
SCrimmagn sessions this week at tho
! spot where the coaches plan TO take the
men. as there is an imperative need for
gam" practice TO knock lot Of the i'm
perfection out of the squad. Coach Mill
lar went TO his home at Philadelphia fol-
lowing the game. buc Will be back here
tomorrow. and several others will DO
out with the team most OF the week. In
Guiding Riddy, Aiken. Clark. Schrontz,
and others WaSh-Jcff followers hope
that the demonstration Of poor PLAYING
against the Orange yesterday Will bear
fruit in 4 reaction that may make the
Presidents n mighty dangerous aggrcga-
ton against the l'anthcrS.
The work or the line Saturday was
disappointment. as It has been the
strongest feature of the Presidents
play. With the exception Of Captain
tiarhisch. however. who put up one or
hts best games. the line lacked lie ana
spirit and was usually out charged by
the forwards. Erickson and Edison
showed splendid qualities in the back
field, but they had such LATHE assistance
from their team mates SO that their CT
forts were almost nullitlcd.
