Three Independent Games Of Note
Listed-Dreadnaughts Have
800 Guard,

Three attractive games are sceduled
for independent elevens here this Sun
day. At Union Park Rex Athletic Club
will be opposed by the Dreadnaughts of
Alexandria In what has become an an
nual classic. Navy Yard and Knicker-
bockers will battle at American League
Park, while Mohawk Athletic Club and
the Washington team will clash on the
Indians field, at 18th and D streets
southeast. Play in each game is to be-
gin at 8 o'clock.
The Dreadnaughts, who have won
eight of the nine contests they have
started this season, will bring a weighty
combination here for their battle with
the northeast clubmen, holders of the
District championship. Much of the Vir-
ginians' poundage is in their line. which
averages 210 pounds from tackle to
tackle.
This avoiraupois is achieved mainly
through the presence of Charlie Sum-
mers at right guard. He weights $50
pounds, but this heft does not prevent
his getting into action quickly. He is
brother of Frank Summers, v. M. !.
star, generally accorded a place on all
South Atlantic elevens, and considered
the best all-around athlete in this Sec
ton.

ended their careers with the Hilltop
varsity team are to play with the Knicks
against the veteran Gunmakers Jack
Sullivan, brother of Tom, the big Blue
and Gray lineman, is to have a place
in the backfield and Mccarthy. former
Georgetown tackle. will be with the
Knick forwards.
The Mohawks, who are awaiting a
chance at Rex, expect a real battle when
they encounter the Washington agkre-
cation. The latter has number of
experienced players in it's line-up. The
Indians will meet tonight at 1880 O'Clock
at 18th and streets southeast for
blackboard practice. !.
